Hi Nicky,
Have you checked out Lauri's (member of this forum) website? It's very helpful.
Another one I found helpful is:
The Yahoo group takes a couple of days for the approval to go through before you're a member. If you join that group be sure to read through the archives before asking questions, the moderators there are not very friendly to newcomers asking questions that have been previously covered.
Are you on Facebook? There's a couple groups on there also, search the raw feeding community and raw fed dogs.
Good luck!

Regarding the upset tummy, my dog also has chronic loose stool and as soon as I started giving her chicken necks and backs, POOF! No more diarrhea. Best stool she has ever had since I adopted her. Not saying it works that way for everyone but I do think a single protein like chicken is probably easier for them than certain kibbles.

I have found information suggesting that the combination of kibble and raw may not be in your dog's best interests...as you cited.
I just took the plunge and went with all raw.
Since I was a skeptic, I ground her food.....bones included.
Now, I make a concoction of raw meat/organ/supplements.
Even though the concoction has ground chicken necks in it for the bone requirement, I still give her a beef rib bone/ lamb shank bone etc as a lunch treat every other day to make sure I get the 10% plus bone requirement met.
I would try joining the yahoo raw feed or carnivore groups again and then post a message looking for suppliers....people are friendly and will help.
This Yahoo group provides a supplier list. Link below.

Good luck on pursuing your new diet for your pooch.
New to RAW Feeding
I've been researching raw feeding like crazy and it's a tad bit confusing still because there is so much info and many different opinions out there. My friends look at me like Im crazy but that is ok because to me it is the natural way a dog was meant to eat. But if I am going to do this, I want to do it right.
I have been feeding her Holistic Select dry large breed puppy and now holistic select large breed adult. I was thinking I would start feeding her raw in the am and then her dry food in the evening. I have read conflicting theories on this. My reasoning is because she is so sensitive to changes in her food (horrible gas,diarrhea) and I have visions of lack of sleep due to diarrhea all night long. She gets a lot of exercise during the day and we are outside most of the day so if her sensitive stomach can't handle the raw at least we will be outside. Is feeding the raw/dry combo something I could do forever and something that would not harm her? If not, how long should I feed the raw 1x day before I transition to 2x day? I can't imagine once she gets a raw meal that she would even consider a kibble meal.
I went to the grocery store butcher yesterday just to see what is available and some prices. He said all they could sell me was femurs, i could buy whole chickens like I was buying them for me, and also soup bones. Apparently, they used to sell parts for dog consumption but the FDA changes have prevented their store from selling for dog consumption. What? He sold me some femurs but that is not what I need/want, although my dog loves it. I live in a very small town with the nearest "big town" about an hour away. I don't have huge storage space to buy for a month so how/where can I buy? I tried to join that yahoo group that was suggested somewhere around here but for some reason nothing happened with that link.
I am not very educated on this subject but I am thinking I will just go just RAW as opposed to BARF. I can't imagine a dog stopping to eat broccoli or carrots or stopping at a GNC for a supplement when there is whole foods to eat. Although my dog does love bananas! Is this naive thinking?
I have about 50 other questions but I will spare you for now. Thanks!

If you don't agree, how about an example of this being justified legally, morally, scripturally....it is about as unAmerican a position as one can imagine.
Too many Americans stuck in the Old Testament, not enough following the New Testament. :'(
However, when the distribution of wealth is more equal, and the more democratic their government is, the better it will be. This has been proven both in the past and during our modern times.
First we must know and understand that the economic system we currently practice is corrupt and heavily favors the wealthy who despite the rhetoric (they pay for) provide little to society. They are the 'takers.'
A"single" (simple) tax on land VALUE remains the most just system ever discovered by economists. It falls on those who already receive a unique, valuable and privileged benefit from society. We must keep in mind societies role in "creating the value" of land, places, etc. The value of land doesn't come from the owner of land, it ALWAYS comes from the society that created the value, simply by living. Society creates this value by our participation, thus we are equal contributors just by living. Replacing all other forms of taxation with a land "site" value tax would result in an equal distribution of wealth and halt the unequal distribution and quite possibly save us all (?).
That fact does not negate what has been successfully accomplished, implemented and how it improved the lives of those taking the direction of the Single or "Simple" Tax or Land VALUE Tax
Do you 'really' want to know something about economics? Does anyone? Few people do, because its been deliberately made more complex than it has to be. Much like our current tax system as a whole. Again; no accident. Its complex because it serves 'some' of us to be complex.
Can you imagine a world where all outstanding debt is forgiven every 49/50 yrs? Along with several other wealth equalizers.... Hmmm Interesting No?
in fact, i can. i'm sure it appeals to the unmotivated among us.
what is a wealth equalizer? how does that work?
so we are back to you showing us where this has been applied and worked? have there been any studies done on the amount if revenue this would bring? would it satisfy the need of government?i also take issue with your equating speculation with theft. in order to speculate on anything, those companies put up money and assets with no guarantee of return. i understand what they have done in Alaska, but by what right do people claim the rewards of others risks? if you want to share in their reward, go work for them and get paid.just another way to get from others what you could not, or would not, get for yourself.

Hey Ya! (mal)
Interesting news this weekend. Apparently everything we've done in our entire careers is a "MASSIVE lie" (sic) because all of radiative physics, climate history, the instrumental record, modeling and satellite observations turn out to be based on 12 trees in an obscure part of Siberia. Who knew?
Indeed, according to both the National Review and the Daily Telegraph (and who would not trust these sources?), even Al Gore's use of the stair lift in An Inconvenient Truth was done to highlight cherry-picked tree rings, instead of what everyone thought was the rise in CO2 concentrations in the last 200 years.
Who should we believe? Al Gore with his "facts" and "peer reviewed science" or the practioners of "Blog Science"? Surely, the choice is clear….
More seriously, many of you will have noticed yet more blogarrhea about tree rings this week. The target de jour is a particular compilation of trees (called a chronology in dendro-climatology) that was first put together by two Russians, Hantemirov and Shiyatov, in the late 1990s (and published in 2002). This multi-millennial chronology from Yamal (in northwestern Siberia) was painstakingly collected from hundreds of sub-fossil trees buried in sediment in the river deltas. They used a subset of the 224 trees they found to be long enough and sensitive enough (based on the interannual variability) supplemented by 17 living tree cores to create a "Yamal" climate record.
A preliminary set of this data had also been used by Keith Briffa in 2000 (pdf) (processed using a different algorithm than used by H&S for consistency with two other northern high latitude series), to create another "Yamal" record that was designed to improve the representation of long-term climate variability.
Since long climate records with annual resolution are few and far between, it is unsurprising that they get used in climate reconstructions. Different reconstructions have used different methods and have made different selections of source data depending on what was being attempted. The best studies tend to test the robustness of their conclusions by dropping various subsets of data or by excluding whole classes of data (such as tree-rings) in order to see what difference they make so you won't generally find that too much rides on any one proxy record (despite what you might read elsewhere).
So along comes Steve McIntyre, self-styled slayer of hockey sticks, who declares without any evidence whatsoever that Briffa didn't just reprocess the data from the Russians, but instead supposedly picked through it to give him the signal he wanted. These allegations have been made without any evidence whatsoever.
McIntyre has based his 'critique' on a test conducted by randomly adding in one set of data from another location in Yamal that he found on the internet. People have written theses about how to construct tree ring chronologies in order to avoid end-member effects and preserve as much of the climate signal as possible. Curiously no-one has ever suggested simply grabbing one set of data, deleting the trees you have a political objection to and replacing them with another set that you found lying around on the web.
The statement from Keith Briffa clearly describes the background to these studies and categorically refutes McIntyre's accusations. Does that mean that the existing Yamal chronology is sacrosanct? Not at all – all of the these proxy records are subject to revision with the addition of new (relevant) data and whether the records change significantly as a function of that isn't going to be clear until it's done.

A Tale of Two Mentalities
posted at 9:05 pm on November 8, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
There are so many categories for this post because it touches on so many hot-button issues; but I picked "Dhimmi of the Month" as the primary category. We never did get the polling software off the ground, so you can't vote on it… but I'll still use the category when appropriate.
Sadly, today it's appropriate.
The Chief of Staff of the United States Army, Gen. George Casey, has just uncovered the greatest threat exposed by the Fort Hood massacre, presumably committed by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. Is it radical jihadism? A future Islamic terrorist attack in the United States? The use of political correctness as a human shield for potential murderers? The inability of the Army to notice that one of its members swam in currents of hate so strong, they seared his soul (as Winston Churchill put it)?
No. Gen. Casey has identified the real danger: a potential anti-Moslem backlash!
General George Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, said on Sunday that he was concerned that speculation about the religious beliefs of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, accused of killing 12 fellow soldiers and one civilian and wounding dozens of others in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, could "cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers."
"I've asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that," General Casey said in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union. "It would be a shame — as great a tragedy as this was — it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well."
General Casey, who was appeared on three Sunday news programs, used almost the same language during an interview on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos," an indication of the Army's effort to ward off bias against the more than 3,000 Muslims in its ranks.
"A diverse Army gives us strength," General Casey, who visited Fort Hood Friday, said on "This Week…."
"The speculation could heighten the backlash," he said on "This Week." "What happened at Fort Hood is a tragedy and I believe it would be a greater tragedy if diversity became a casualty here."
Losing our "diversity" would be "a greater tragedy" than the Fort Hood massacre itself? Does any rational human being actually believe this? And does any military historian believe that "a [religiously] diverse Army gives us strength?" I think it clear from context that Casey is claiming that having a tiny handful of Moslem soldiers — 3,000 out of nearly 1.1 million soldiers — somehow makes the Army "stronger."
This is ludicrous. I'm positive having Moslems in our ranks doesn't make us any weaker, but neither does it make us stronger, except marginally: If we banned all Moslems from the ranks, we might have to accept a lesser qualified Christian, Jewish, or Buddhist soldier instead of a more qualified Moslem. But the diminishment would be slight at best.
What really makes us stronger is:
- The independence and initiative of our soldiers, especially officers and non-coms;
- Our rigorous and realistic training (with live ammunition);
- Our general population's familiarity with firearms through civilian gun ownership;
- Our technologically advanced weaponry and other warfighting systems;
- And most of all, our ideology of liberty, which gives our servicemen reasons to fight more powerful than "because I told you to."
Casey's remark is yet another example of transforming the criminal into the victim; it's political correctness run wild. And if George Casey cannot understand why Hasan's religion — which appears by all reports to be a violent, extremist, jihadist sect of Islam — could be the primary motive behind the otherwise senseless spree killings, then Gen. Casey should be removed as Chief of Staff. Immediately.
It's as stunning as if Eisenhower had said in 1942 that we should not "speculate" on the possible role National Socialism might play in the military aggression of the Axis, lest we create a "backlash" against soldiers with names like, well, Eisenhower. For heaven's sake, the ideology of National Socialism was the primary cause of World War II… just as the ideology of violent Islamic jihadism is the primary cause of global Islamic terrorism.
Or doesn't George Casey believe that? Of course, Casey also didnt' believe in the "surge;" he thought it would inevitably fail, leading to American defeat in Iraq. Fortunately for us (and the Iraqis), he was kicked upstairs, and Gen. David Petraeus took his place as Commander of Multi-National Force – Iraq.
I find it curious that Gen. Casey is so worried about a potential "backlash" against other, non-radical Moslems — when has this ever happened, by the way? — but he seems utterly unconcerned about the possibility of another massacre at another military installation by another radical [REDACTED]. I guess each of us must prioritize his own concerns.
Does Casey's response make him a "dhimmi," by which we popularly mean a non-Moslem who bends over backwards to explain away or excuse the excesses of radical jihadism? Yes, I argue it does… because Casey tries to deflect blame from the horrific ideology of jihad: "Nothing to see here, folks; let's just MoveOn!" We know that the jihadist mindset directly causes Islamic terrorism; this appears to be terrorism, perpetrated by a Moslem who increasingly appears to have been radicalized. But we can't "speculate" on this seemingly urgent question for fear of that putative "backlash."
Casey's delusional political correctness was echoed by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC, 82%), naturally enough:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican of South Carolina, and Sen. Jack Reed, a Democrat of Rhode Island, took also pains on Sunday to say that Muslims have served honorably in the military and at risk to their lives.
"At the end of the day this is not about his religion — the fact that this man was a Muslim," Senator Graham said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
I wonder if Graham thinks that Osama bin Laden's hatred of the West and of Jews has anything to do with his religion; I'm afraid to ask.
In order to conclude that Hasan's religion had nothing whatsoever to do with the attack, one really must ignore an awful lot of evidence. For example (of both the evidence and how it can be brushed aside):
The San Antonio Express-News has reported that classmates in a graduate military medical program heard Major Hasan justify suicide bombings and make radical and anti-American statements. But investigators have said that Major Hasan might have suffered from emotional problems that were aggravated by the strain of working with veterans of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and by the knowledge that he might soon be deployed to those theaters as well.
I think I would go along with the general premise that every radical Islamic jihadist "suffers from emotional problems;" but I understand the defense:
Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility
Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
I note, however, that "understanding" is not the same as "exonerating."
Before we swing to the second "mentality," let's encapsulate the Casey mentality here:
On the base Sunday morning, mourners were asked [by the garrison chaplain] to pray for Major Hasan and his family, The Associated Press reported.
Yeah. That and not blaming the perpetrator are the most urgent tasks before us right now.
There is, however, another way to respond to the Fort Hood "tragedy" (man-caused disaster?); it was exemplified today by the man who is rapidly becoming one of my favorite senators:
A key U.S. senator called Sunday for an investigation into whether the Army missed signs that the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood had embraced an increasingly extremist view of Islamic ideology.
Sen. Joe Lieberman's call came as word surfaced that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan apparently attended the same Virginia mosque as two Sept. 11 hijackers in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there.
God forbid we should "speculate" about how Hasam's religion might have slightly influenced his murderous actions. "This is not — the radical imam — I knew…!"
Classmates participating in a 2007-2008 master's program at a military college complained repeatedly to superiors about what they considered Hasan's anti-American views. Dr. Val Finnell said Hasan gave a presentation at the Uniformed Services University that justified suicide bombing and even told classmates that Islamic law trumped the U.S. Constitution.
Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, wants Congress to determine whether the shootings constitute a terrorist attack.
"If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have zero tolerance," Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said on "Fox News Sunday." "He should have been gone."
Couldn't we arrange for Gen. George Casey to be gone? He could be kicked upstairs again, this time to junior assistant deputy shavetail to the RINO Secretary of the Army, John McHugh. Then we could replace Casey with a new Chief of Staff, one with a mentality more like Joe Lieberman than George Casey.
Alas, that wouldn't work: The new Chief would have to be nominated by Barack H. Obama… and the One would probably name John Murtha!

Packed Memorial For Teen Girls Killed By Suspected Drunk Driver
Close To 2,000 Gather For 3 Teens
ALAMOSA, Colo. - Close to two thousand people gathered in Alamosa Thursday to remember three teens killed by a suspected drunk driver.
There was standing room only in the Alamosa High School gymnasium. At the front of the gym were two caskets and an urn surrounded by flowers and pictures of Anisa Montoya, 18, Serina Mascarenas, 14, and Selena Sena, 14.
"It's been really hard," said Janet Aguilar, who went to school with Anisa. "Because it's so small here, we've all known them and basically grown up with them. So we've all been affected greatly."
The girls had just attended an outreach service at The Door Christian Fellowship Church in Pueblo Saturday night when police said Gilbert Sanchez sped through a stoplight at up to 100 mph and crashed into their car. Gilbert was arrested on charges including vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and driving under the influence.
Anisa was senior class president at Alamosa High, Serina was an eighth grader at Mosca's Sangre de Cristo School and Selena was in eighth grade at Ortega Middle School.
"It's really emotional and sad over there," said Adrianna Montano of Ortega Middle School.
"In the eighth grade hall, it's quiet without (Selena)," said Bianca Meave.
The memorial service was lead by Anisa's father, a pastor, who started the service with a praise song he said was one of the girls' favorites.
Through their heartache, mourners agreed that the community has found strength in each other.
"The community and long-lost friends and family members are getting together, talking to each other and bonding back together," said Anthony Lopez, Anisa's cousin.
"I think it's a good thing for our community," said Vanessa Valdez, a friend of Anisa. "It just helps everyone to cope and to heal better. Because you can't do it alone."
A memorial fund has been set up San Luis Valley Federal Bank. Donations can be made to the "Selena, Serina and Anisa Memorial Fund" by calling 719-589-6653 or sending donations to 401 Edison Avenue, PO Box 780, Alamosa CO, 81101.


text: I don't own one. I have heard and read that they are pretty good considering their price class. Good shooters. I seem to remember that some were less than thrilled with the quality & durability of the finish. They seem to run $400 to $500 depending on model. A Springfield Armory GI or Milspec might be worth a look for only a little bit more if you skip the stainless.

its not even good......
Doesn't matter if it's good or bad. The only thing that matters is how many people play it and are interested in talking about it.
But haha this section is dead! The only reason I saw this thread is because I use the New Posts thingy.
She knows how to party.
Dungeon Fighter is good and a lot of people from onRPG play it, yet its section has like, 2 threads.
People don't really use or visit onRPG for the subsections, tbh. There are fansites, official forums, etc.
Yep but the fansites and official forums are popular because they have direct feedback from fans and people from the companies.
This board offers the fans a place to talk for certain AND we have a company representative, in other words a communit manager or game master, joining this section soon so you can ask questions directly, and see the latest news on the game!

So I bought a DP 95 white interior on ebay. It looks really good, good shape and everything, but... The smell is just horrible! I washed it a few times now with Dawn Dishwashing soap and the smell has died down a bit from when it first arrived but it is still lingering on and around the helmet. It smells a bit like aging vinyl which it probably is. Does anyone have any ideas on how to completely get rid of this smell? Maybe I could coat the inside with something lemon scented? Any help would be appreciated.
Here's some pics of the helmet http://community.webshots.com/album/444335420kRtRPu

A Slice Of Retail Therapy
September 10th, 2011
We suggest a bit of retail therapy with a good friend. Why not go and check out the new autumn collections on the high street? A new frock could be on the cards or a couple of going out tops or maybe a fantastic new pair of boots. If you ladies haven't made too much of a dent in your purse by lunchtime, head to a restaurant and treat yourselves to a delicious lunch, then after a cheeky glass of something sparkly, and you will be ready to face the shops again. Don't forget to visit Bravissimo and take a look at our new lingerie styles for autumn.
More highlights from the autumn range, firstly the new Elodie Bra by Fantasie. This is a really pretty, feminine, but still sexy bra, it has side seams that pull you in and push you forward, creating a gorgeous rounded shape. The front has a higher centre and it has a fuller cup, so still offers fantastic support for your boobs, and in sexy black, this is a perfect bra for the weekend.
The Poppy Bra by Cleo in charcoal is just gorgeous. It is really on trend with the lovely poppy print and in the new rich & warm colourway of charcoal, coral and orange, and it's certain to be a real favourite this autumn. It is a half cup, so can be worn with lower necklines and is lightly padded giving wonderful shape. It comes with matching briefs, or if you prefer, a thong.
Laden with your bags, including your brand new buys from Bravissimo. Why not take the weight off your feet and enjoy large cappuccinos and a slice of something sweet, (to share of course). A perfect way to end the day. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

IGNITION and CAM TIMING
I got a 302 Engine..i got a cam in there with these specs http://dab7.cranecams.com/SpecCard/D...1=Display+Card
my distributor is vacum non electronic
and my car is non-computer controlled
...My question for you helpful experts..PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME .....HOW do i set my IGNITION TIMING and My CAM TIMING.. .PLEASE HELP..im new at TIMING and not sure..so please be VERy descriptive..HELP
cam timing / ignition
Heres a basic overlay, please use this for help, buy a build ford book of some discription, Ford performance book etc as there will be slight variations depending on exact blocks, cams etc.
I am assuming you understand the basics and have stripped the motor far enough to do the work.
With the cam mechanically installed but not connected to anything yet make sure the crank is in the correct position, this is number 1 cylinder at tdc, this will put the crank timing gear mark at 12 o'clock as viewed from front.
Fit cam gear only and bring cam gear round until cam timing mark is at 6 o'clock.
Remove both gears and refit all timing gear correctly now with the chain or required drive, on completion the crank and cam gear indicators should now be at 12 and 6 oclock (facing each other ) when at no1 tdc.
Rotate the assembly once the cam gear should now be at 12 o'clock *** should the crank gear.
Rotate once more and eveything should be back to where you started.
this is without any valve train attached so you can check the cam before you start lifting valves.
This is the cam timed with 0 degrees ofset. this is the normal set up for a standard or aftermarket cam with no other index available.
If you are using timing gear with offset dowels supplied for cam indexing use the o ofset dowel initially to set this up. if you are using these then you need a book, as you need to know how to dial a cam in correctly at 0.5inch lift etc to check for proper cam timing, this is not easily explained here. (this should be done any how but for most non race replacements follow the standard install and all should be ok)
you still need to check lift and clearances if possible but as long as not too radiacl to should install by the basic procedure and be ok.
Once happy all lines up and ok build up the valve train etc and re check rotation etc for any fouling or unusual operation, this is bassically the cam installed and timed as per the manufactureres spec (restricted by machining acuracy). the only way forward now is to check the cam timing with a degree wheel to ensure the specified lift is correct, this is where the offset dowels may be required. If you do not do this you are at the mercy of the cam grind acurracy. (this process is not too difficult but get a book if you want to have a go as I will be here all day tring to write it down so you can undertand what I mean)
Do not get overly concerned here I know of hundereds of cams fitted and never a degree wheel used, I know all the race guys will now be flipping there lids and suggest never, never install enything without checking everything twice but it at home some of these operations are not always practical.
(maybe you should start a thread on degree or not too degree that is the question).
back to the motor, cam in to FORDs build up procedure for a 302 obviously, valve train in and all rotating correctly.
Rotate assembly to number 1 tdc - make shure it is number 1 tdc and firing on 1 tdc, both 1 cylinder valves shut and on compression stroke, again assume you know how to do this.
Some would say bang the dissy straight in at this with it lines up at number 1 lead. This will work, it will fire - usually - the timing will be out but will easily be acomadated by turning the dissy to bring into correct index.
As cams need lubeing and running in (remember this), I prefer to try to aim for 10 Degrees before for initial starting on a ford, fire it hit 2K revs hold with plently of water in etc for at least 10min preferably 20, keeping it cool and have no vac unit connected and all the vac lines pluged for run in.
Stop the motor after this - cam should now be ok to run.
(have skipped all the getting oil up etc as assuming we are only talking about a cam change.
Oh yeah to get the 10 before, rotate as before line up and insert dissy dirrectly on 1 tdc, turn crank to 10 before on tabs and then reset dissy by turning to line up dirrectly with 1 lead again and approx timing will be set to fire motor.
try to have a timing light on hand as as soon as the motor fires with no vac advance on and on a strong fast idle if you check the timing you should be seeing over 10 degrees on the light and marks as you have some centrifugal advance now in as well.
turn dissy to make this so 2k revs = 20 degrees ish will be ok for now.
Run cam in, then let idle or get an idle with no vac advance connected. Run motor with light on at 1Krpm no higher, set timing on light to cam recomended spec or ford spec if in any dought use 10before as a base. (if this is a late emissions motor this could be as high as 20 at this stage)
Ensure all is ok and motor starts stops etc, do not try to snap rev at this stage.
Get a good clean 10 (or whatever) with no wandering (carb, dissy vac leaks, cam not run in etc.) 10 on the mark with the idle sounding correct to the ear at least, no misses etc, motor must be at operating temp - crusial point this for final setting.
Shut down now check again at recomended or desired idle speed, readjust to get correct timing.
Now fit vac advance to correct carb port and one timed motor is now available for you to go and play with.
If you now recheck the timing on idle you should have the 10 (or desired setting) ,when reving the timing should move due to the vac and centrifugal advance and these could add upto 50 degrees depending upon spring weight, allowed movement etc or as little as 20 but you should always get more than the 10 (base setting) if a vac advance is used.
Yuo now have an initial set advance (the 10 or speced setting) that will run and idle the motor, you need then advance for drivability (not racing full throttle) this is the vacuum part throtle advance and pulls timing up when accellerating to keep the spark following the charge density. finally when we are really rotating we need centrifugal advance to move spark away from the tbc possition as the pistons are coming round quicker so take less time (time as in time-ing) to get round - speed is quicker so from point of firing to compression maximium (tbc) the time is reduced so you need to move the spark further away from this point to keep the fire in the right place.
Easy isn't it. try tovisualise this its a good model if you can.
Think of a clock face with one big hand spining slowly (tickover).
At 10 oclock the spark lights the fuel (it takes a little while for the fire to spread to is maximium expansion - all the fuel on fire) as this fire spreads the clock hand is still heading toward the 12 o clock position the hand hits the 12 the fire is at is most compressed (because this is TDC and the piston has squashed the air fuel charge to a maximum.), and the fire is also fully lit. Bang round we go using the expansion energy to push the big hand round.
If we add fuel the fire is bigger so the hand goes faster - why? More fuel biger bang!
If we still ignight at 10 oclock the fire is bigger so we are still tring to light all the fire (more fuel takes longer to ignite) , as the hand passes 12 its not all lit, because its going quicker, it finishes the job afer the event (TDC) and some energy is wasted so we get reduced power.
If we move the spark to the nine o clock position so we are lighting off earlier to compensate for the faster hand movement so we hit the comprssion and full fire point together again and go faster again, we keep going until all the rods and valves can be seen from the outside of the engine through nice holes.
no really once you mknow what is actually hapening you can translate the timing light info and engine behaviour much easier.
We need to move the position of the spark in relation to the speed of the motor for the above reasons - understand this and the timing will follow.
The valves attached to the cam obviously are the mechanical doors that allow the fuel in, trapped and out again at the right time of the stroke.
I hope this helps I really do but heres the real thing, If you can not do this, don't. get a friend who can to work with you and llisten and learn from his experiance and mistakes made in the past. Alterativly put the job out to someone who can, its not a difficult job at all but they never are if you know how.
Wow!! Can I get that post in a paper back version??:D
Here's another version with pics:
Good luck!:)

Arsène Wenger believes that Kieran Gibbs is "physically and mentally ready" to return to the Arsenal side on Wednesday night.
Injuries have restricted the England international to nine club appearances this season and he has not played since the 2-1 win over Sunderland on October 16.
Thomas Vermaelen has filled in at left back in the absence of Gibbs and Andre Santos but the Belgian is likely to return to his familiar central role against AC Milan now that Per Mertesacker has been ruled out.
Gibbs is the obvious candidate to start on the left and Wenger has no qualms about handing the 22-year-old his comeback in such a big game.
"To be a player is to come in and show how good you are when you get your chance," said the manager.
"I believe physically and mentally he is ready. But if I start him, which is not decided yet, I do not want to put too much pressure on him because we want a good team performance. Gibbs is a good player.
"I will find the most natural [solution], which means I will put Vermaelen back in the middle. Gibbs looks to be ready so I might look to start him but I have not decided completely yet."

text: Hey all- Im sure this is on here somewhere so... forgive me if it is. Anyhow, I know the preferred method to use when placing armor is that of snaps, or so ive heard. Is there anyone that prefers velcro (industrial strength)? It seems that this may make for a very sturdy hold, not to mention easy to adjust and remove. Please post thoughts on this.


text: So over the years I've taken lots of pictures and have shot video footage as well. I'm fine with editing pictures now, but I've got a bunch of video which is sitting on my computer unused because some part of it is not what I want. Recently, I noticed a program that is already on my computer, "Windows Movie Maker". I played around with it and was able to use it to compile 18 very short clips into one decent-sized video. Cool! I then tried it to edit video, but I can't seem to import any of the files into the program to work on. The thing is, I'm looking for something that is not only free, but is VERY, VERY simple to use. Something similar to "Audio Recorder For Free", which is so simple and so PERFECT. (You can use it to make an mp3 of ANYTHING you can find on the internet...and I love it!) If you want your own free copy, here's a link: Audio Recorder For Free So any suggestions for a free, simple program to edit video footage that I've shot? I don't want to do anything fancy. I just want to cut out the parts I don't like....and that's it. Thanks for your help!

The following has been announced by UEFA:
"Arsenal FC manager Arsène Wenger has received a two-match ban from the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body which will take effect for Wednesday's play-off game at Udinese Calcio.
"The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body has suspended manager Arsène Wenger from carrying out his duties at Arsenal FC's next two UEFA competition matches.
"Today's decision was taken in relation to the Arsenal manager not abiding by the decision of the Control and Disciplinary Body during the English club's UEFA Champions League play-off game against Udinese Calcio last Tuesday, 16 August. Wenger is therefore suspended for Arsenal's second-leg match against Udinese in Italy on Wednesday and then the next UEFA competition fixture for which he would be eligible.
"The Control and Disciplinary Body has also decided to fine Arsenal €10,000 for improper conduct by its officials. An appeal may be lodged against these decisions within three days of the dispatch of the reasoned decision.
"Wenger was serving a one-match suspension, handed down after Arsenal's UEFA Champions League game at FC Barcelona last season, in the Udinese home match. The UEFA Disciplinary Regulations stipulate that a manager may not communicate with his team during a fixture for which he is suspended and may follow the game from the stands only."
Arsenal Football Club intends to appeal this decision.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

Town Square
SRV Fire Protection District - it's "All In the Family"
Original post made by C. R. Mudgeon, Danville, on Oct 11, 2012
Three of the 5 candidates for the three open seats on the SRV FPD Board have close ties to the union, at a time when the board is negotiating a new contract with the union.
In addition, one existing board member, Jennifer Price, who is not up for election, is the sister-in-law of Fire Chief Richard Price.
Here are the five candidates, along with their union ties:
- Gordon Dakin - cousin of Matt Dakin, who is on the union's executive board
- H. Jay Kerr - no union ties
- Stephen Mohun - brother is Mike Mohun, union president
- Gerardo Peniche - brother-in-law of district firefighter Erick Hubbard
- Matt Stamey - no union ties.
My own opinion is that Kerr and Stamey deserve our support, as they are the only two candidates without conflict of interests as they negotiate with the union on a new contract.
Read the above-linked article to draw your own conclusions. But putting Dakin, Mohun, and (perhaps to a lesser extent) Peniche on the board will basically mean a continuation of very lucrative salary, benefits, and pensions, that the district can't afford. Basically it amounts to asking the fox to guard the henhouse!

on Oct 11, 2012 at 12:51 pm
I was just at Lunardi's in Danville and there were a couple of firefighters(?) who were passing out a brochure that was pushing for the election of Dakin, Mohun, and Peniche.
I used to respect firefighters, but it seems that all they want is their own lackeys elected to the fire board to give them ever-more generous benefits and retirement.
a resident of Danville
on Oct 12, 2012 at 6:26 am
And they retire at 50 so the taxpayers on on the hook for these generous retirment packages for years which include full medical. Enough.

When someone has a connection to a cause, it is often a sign of passion & dedication. Not croniosm, as some might conclude. You have to know what you're talking about & believe in what you are representing to be an effective leader.
The men & women of the SRVFD do a damn fine job serving this area. I personally have the utmost respect for our first responders. Not many of us are called to put our life on the lines with what we do. We should be proud & thankful that we have the SRVFD taking such good care of our community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
a resident of Stone Valley Middle School
on Oct 12, 2012 at 7:20 am
If you vote for Mohun, Dakin or Peniche you are simply stupid (unless you are a SRV firefighter of course). I'm very surprised Chevron let Peniche take Union money. Chevron should be supporting the entire community and not the special interests of the Union.
a resident of Danville
on Oct 12, 2012 at 7:22 am
Yes, we should be proud of the work the firefighters do, but be proud with some common sense. There salary and retirement packages are bloated and ridiculous. To continue doing the same is finically foolhardy. Its time to use intelligence in negotiating with these unions. Back anyone running for the SRV FPD Board that is not connected to the union or management, its just that simple. Cronyism and nepotism have no place on this board, yet it has for years and no one seems to notice this. Many thanks to CR Mudgeon for bringing this to everyones attention. Use his article as a voting guide.
a resident of Vista Grande Elementary School
on Oct 12, 2012 at 8:09 am
I have written about this issue more than once over the last 18 months, I am so glad folks are waking up to the shocking unsustainable and lucrative incentive packages our fire board has approved time and time again. Let's "re-engineer" the whole fire department function, it is a matter of record the number of "fires" is perhaps 15% of the calls to a fire station as providing ambulance services is the vast majority of their daily duties. Contract the medical emergency calls to a much less expensive medical emergency firm. The firefighters do not want us to know they actually combat a fire very infrequently. The nepotism on the board is frankly unethical in my view and is the reason we are in the in this financial mess. Chief Price wants everyone to know he is "volunteering" at $1.00 per year compensation, but doesn't want us to know his brother's wife sits on the Board. Enough!

For several years now Danville Fire Chiefs have been retiring with income in excess of $200,000 per year. Enough already!

Who thinks putting the Union President's brother (Mohun) in charge of the District's budget is a good idea? Do the firefighters think we are idiots? I'm sure the Union is paying Peniche's candidate expenses not Chevron, but shame on Chevron for allowing him to deceive the voters by not disclosing his conflict. How is any if this legal! Thank you Times for daylighting the coup attempt.

No conflicts of interest there! The firefighters and their board are all standing at the public trough happily slurping up personal financial rewards. The shame of it is that we let them get away with it.

Kerr, Stamey, and then put your pencils down. I'm also calling Chevron about Peniche.

We are now on to how the firefighter unions screw the people and leave no money for schools. Thanks for posting the article and remember if prominent firefighters are for a candidate it is very likely a good idea to vote against the candidate.

My name is Mike Mohun. I am the Union President for the San Ramon Valley Firefighters, Local 3546 of the International Association of Firefighters. I agree that you should be informed when you go to the poles to vote.
If after reading this response, you want not to elect our endorsed candidates, I respect your opinion, admire your initiative and support your informed decision. Because it is you the citizen that I work for, and you the citizen whom I have dedicated my life to serving. I want what is best for you, and believe this is true for every firefighter that works in this community on your behalf.
We have never tried to hide my earnings or benefits from you. If you feel we deserve less, then we are at your disposal. We want only to be able to provide for our families in a responsible manner. I did not become a banker, or a stock broker. I became a paramedic and firefighter because my life's desire was to take care of others. I am compensated a wage for the service I provide. The most influential force on my wage is the economy. We will see cuts, and continue to see them as long as the economy declines.
When I became President of the local just a few months ago, my first objective was to resolve negotiations as soon as possible. It is my desire to have negotiations complete before the end of the year. We are aware of the publics outrage, and though we do not feel responsible, we do possess a sense of responsibility. With this, my team has given the Fire District a very generous proposal. What I can not understand is why the current Fire Board has neglected to respond to our offer which concedes wages, benefits, and retirement reform, all offered prior to the State Legislation's reform Bill 340, and at a time where the employees I represent have experienced a wage freeze for several years and, if our proposal is excepted, a wage freeze and wage concessions over the course of the next four years.
This Fire Board has had our offer for over a month and have not provided us with a response of any kind. Why? It would serve to support the argument that we are running candidates with the intent to manipulate the negotiations process.
If we can negotiate a contract within the next couple of weeks, then there will be no need for us to run candidates for contracts, wages or benefits. I know the political economic environment we are in, and that many people are angry. Why would I be so naive so as to run controversial people for Board knowing that it would provoke such a response.
First: We have a fire Chief who is working for one dollar a month. He is receiving full retirement. It has been decided that it is time for him to leave. His scheduled departure is for the end of the year. The board gave the directive to hire a recruiting firm to hire a new fire chief, and with much time to accomplish the task before the January 1, 2013. Yet management has stalled the process to the extent that hiring a new Chief within the year is difficult if not impossible.
Second: Our current second in command, the Operations Chief,has only a few months experience in his position. The Board failed to fill this important Assistant Chief Level vacancy several months before he was appointed and only then at the Union's insistence. Prior to that appointment, it was management's desire and the Board's apparent intent to rehire the previous Assistant Chief on Double wages, which would have given him a salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars including his retirement. The Union argued against and was successful in preventing this from occurring. We know too well how we are being perceived by the citizens, and knew it then. The Board was not prepared because of a lack of succession planning, and the position remained precariously vacant for several months, and may have remained vacant for several more had we not intervened.
Third: One of our two assistant chiefs has retired leaving a vacancy open in yet another key level position.
Fourth: There is a very real possibility that we will have another key level position, vacated, leaving two upper level management positions vacated in January of 2013 in addition to the vacated Chief position. We have advised this board to plan for this event to no avail.
Fifth: Due to the heavy concessions I have proposed, in addition to State level reform, there is a real possibility that we will retire over 25% of our employees including captains and engineers, and though many of you would agree that we respond to a proportionately low number of fire calls, it does not make the responses we do respond to less dangerous, and even more dangerous to the employee and citizen with the lower level of experience we will have.
Sixth: If the $75.00 annual parcel tax does not pass in Contra Costa County, then our engines and ambulances will be responding more frequently into Walnut Creek and Concord, with a fire agency we have not trained with, a new radio system not yet implemented, and young inexperienced companies. As the senior Representative for this agencies employees and their safety, I am absolutely terrified of the consequences.
Our team realizes the need for stability and the lack of stability we are currently experiencing. I do not trust that some members on our Fire Board are capable of meeting the challenges we face.
Gordon Dakin has been our Fire board President. He does not compromise efficiency and effective delivery of Fire and Emergency services. He understands the danger we are facing and, as a citizen of the Valley, feels compelled to act on your behalf to protect you. The only way he knows to do this successfully is to become a Board member. When he was on this Fire Board his direction saved the District over a million dollars annually. He refused to compromise his principles. He refused to entertain concessions to employees.. There is no indication to me that he would concede to this Union anything in the form of wages or salaries.
Gerardo Peniche has experience in technology and in human resources. I expect that Gerardo will analyze and evaluate our current I.T. division and find significant savings by downgrading what may be an unreasonably expensive process. He has experience in public relations and team building. With what we are currently experiencing with mass retirements on the horizon, decreased morale, and the significant concessions and wage cuts, he is the ideal candidate to help us through this environment.
Steve Mohun has experience as a Chief Financial Officer, and has been a Certified Public Accountant for over 30 years. The Fire District has been spending into reserves and we are told will continue to do so into the future. If, after his analysis he decides the employees will have to contribute more in the way of concessions, we would comply willingly, knowing he could be trusted. I know that I can trust Steve. I have not had this kind of trust for all members of the current Board.
The citizens have come to trust us. You trust us with your sick family members. You trust us in your homes, with your property and possessions. You trust that when we come to your aid, we do so with a desire to do what is best. We are dedicated to our profession and are willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice to accomplish what may seem impossible.
Why then would we not expect the same level of dedication and commitment from our Board members, the same expectation of trust from them that you have come to experience from us. We're not politicians. We are not financiers. We live humble lifestyles. We respect honor, integrity, loyalty to family, to our work, and to you. And if we suspect that the people that influence our ability to protect you fail us, then we will do what it takes to find someone to replace them. And we have found them.
Thank you
Mike Mohun

Scroll down the pages until you finally see Total Commpensation less than $100,000.
I wonder if Stacking the Board of Trustees on the San Ramon Valley Fire District has any relationship to this?
The next thing we will hear is that Firefigters working in other areas and living here (and vice versa) form the majority of the seats on the Boards.... oh, it already is happening?
Well, who is representing the Taxpayers? Nobody! Check out the link here from CC Times / SJ Mercury News Public Employee Database:

Most folks will shoot a handgun that feels good in their hands more often than a gun that was recommended by others, and may not feel as good.

Showing guests to their table has become a really fun way to set the tone for your reception. One idea is to create an Escort Card Tree. Fill a large vase with flowers and some tree branches you've gathered poking out the top of the arrangement. Hanging from the tree are your escort cards that you've printed at home.
Print your own design on the escort cards with Gartner Studios print-at-home favor tags. You can order these plain, white (or ivory) favor tags on gartnerstudios.com to customize and print at home. When your package arrives, you can download the template to personalize these labels by entering the last five numbers from the barcode on the package into the search field on this website. That is your SKU number. For the die cut printable favor tags used in this photo, use SKU 81245. Add your own design to the template to capture the look of your event. The template shows you were to put the design for optimum printing results or use some of our existing template ideas. Then, print the tags, allow to dry, and affix to the tree using coordinating ribbon in your wedding colors. You can print the names of your guests on the tags or hand write them for a personal touch. We also added Gartner Studios mini silver glitter clothespins and Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios clear crystal cake charms (who says they're just for cake?) for some added bling to our Escort Card Tree.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Freshman Courtney Champion earned regional qualifying marks in the 100 and 200 meters, and junior Brooke Novak came up with a regional-worthy effort in the 800 meters, as the fifth-ranked University of Tennessee women's track & field team closed out its home schedule Friday night at the Knoxville Twilight.
Champion, who has been brought along slowly during the outdoor campaign after a sensational indoor season, earned qualifying marks in two events for the NCAA Mideast Regional meet in Bloomington, Ind., on May 27-28. The freshman from Lawrenceville, Ga., took second in the 100 meters in 11.59 and was the runner-up in the 200 meters in 23.68, making successful 2005 debuts in each event at UT's Tom Black Track.
The addition of Champion to the regional list in those sprint races now gives Tennessee four qualifiers in the 100 meters and three in the 200 meters. Among those ranks are senior Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Ontario, Canada), sophomore Tianna Madison (Elyria, Ohio), freshman Cleo Tyson (Huntsville, Texas) and Champion in the shorter race, and Tyson, Olupona and Champion in the longer one.
Madison ran 11.43 to beat Champion for the 100m title Friday night, while former Lady Vol Dee Dee Trotter logged a 23.46 readout to top Champion for the 200m crown. Madison, the current world leader in the long jump at 22 feet, 4 1/2 inches, also picked up her third-straight victory in that event this season, triumphing with a best hop of 21-7.50.
Junior Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.) also demonstrated that she could once again be a factor in the distance races at the league
gathering. Novak, who will most likely run 1500 meters, tuned up with a career-best 800-meter clocking of 2:08.95 that was good enough for
fourth place behind a trio of Head Coach J.J. Clark's Knoxville Elite post-collegiate athletes. The mark, which ranks fifth in the SEC this season,
also earned Novak a berth in the regional meet in her second event.
In the discus throw, freshman Shanna Dickenson (Cincinnati, Ohio) moved to number nine on UT's all-time performers list in that event with a victorious throw of 161-2. The season-best mark ranks her eighth in the Southeastern Conference this season entering next weekend's conference meet in Nashville. She had previously booked her ticket to regionals at the Penn Relays last week.
In the 400 meters, Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.) continued a fine senior season, notching a personal-record time of 53.31 to make the regional field in her second event (800m is the other). Freshman LaTonya Loche (Bastrop, La.) made her first appearance of the outdoor slate a positive one, logging a career-topping 54.90 output to take second, while junior Caitlin Ward (Gibsonia, Pa.) was third at 57.98.
Junior April Thomas (Albany, Ga.) won for the third time in four outings this season in the shot put, registering a heave of 47-2.25. Freshman Amara McKell (Nashville, Tenn.) was second with a career-best performance of 42-6.75, while Dickenson was third at 42-5.50, junior Ariel Brooks (Miami, Fla.) was fourth at 41-4.50 and Ward was fifth at 35-1.25.
In the hammer throw, school record-holder Brooks picked up her first victory as a Lady Vol, charting a measurement of 166-2. Thomas was second with a career-best heave of 159-3, while Dickenson was third at 158-4.
Three career-topping runs occurred in the 1500 meters, where sophomore Mindy Sullivan (Lubbock, Texas) was third in 4:29.54 behind a pair of Knoxville Elite standouts, while junior Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.) and senior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.) were fourth and fifth, respectively, in 4:31.20 and 4:32.03. Junior Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) was eighth in 4:57.97.
Other Lady Vol finishers in the running events included junior Catherine Wright (Knoxville, Tenn.) taking second in the 100m hurdles at 16.94; junior Patricia Hall (St. Ann, Jamaica) grabbing third in the 200m in 24.13; and Guliford snagging eighth in the 800 meters at 2:16.32. UT's 4x400m relay lineup of Loche, Hall, Gorham and Madison closed out the meet by taking second in 3:43.64.
Additional Big Orange results in the field events included junior Edra Finley (Mobile, Ala.) finishing second in the long jump in a career-tying 19-0.75; and Brooks (146-1), Thomas (133-9) and McKell taking second through fourth in the discus throw. McKell was also second in the javelin at 104-9.

Tuesday 27th July 2010
Sitting here enjoying a spot of lunch overlooking the huge lake where the Austrian tourist town of Neusiedl is located, I cannot help but feel that our latest Austrian adventure is near its conclusion.
With such a large gap between the two matches on this occasion, the weekend has been no more than an opportunity to enjoy the fun and frolics this part of the world offers when the working week is over.
The entertainment manager and surely King of Austria Mr Andreas Kovacs once again looked after all Gooners from far and wide with yet another well-organised Friday night event in a town near to the training base and with daylight meeting bedtime it was another full-on occasion. Stories are too many to mention but if you know anyone who was there, ask them about 'Borat'!!
Saturday and the local hostelry played host for a night we have seen many times before, the evening also being the one night of the pre-season camp where the players too get to enjoy a 'night off'.
As a result Sunday was fairly low key but one thing the 'Arsenal Family' gives many of us is the chance to enjoy the tremendous hospitality other Gooners offer all over the world. On this occasion Slovak fan Ondrej and his family played hosts for a fantastic couple of days enjoying the local culture of their Slovakian abode.
A big thanks to all Ondrej, his wife and new-born baby Gooner, his mum, dad, sister and in-laws and of course Gran, who despite the language barrier took quite a liking to our very own 'old boy' Treble Top.
The game is fast approaching, quite an event in this small town. First I must consume my Apple Strudel!

This will never end?!...
Thanks to the conversations between Jayvee and myself I further analised the base gray color (inside the bright silver scratches) and found hard evidences of the presence of this color in the ESB stills:
Attachment 58785 Attachment 58786
It seems that the green mint color on the back plates is actually base gray (the same as on the red areas) and this leads to a revise of the ESB helmet stencils and color separation files.
The first post was updated with preliminary files of all the areas.
Perfect Raf, thats what I see too - I never saw that back colour as mint green, always the base grey. Terminal fettler did much research finding the right shade of grey, to be almost chameleon like - and it was more or less prominent depending on light and surrounding colours. I think the humbrol 147 light grey is perfect, and many thanks to TF for nailing that. Nice find on the pics too - I must say, the added inclusion of the light gry we have spoken about, really gives some great added depth to the paintjob. Once again, splendid work my friend! :-)
Thanks, Jayvee!
For those that don't know what he's talking about, here is an image to help understand how the colors change shades depending of the light:
Attachment 58796
Attachment 58837
Also did some adjustments to the dent area:
Attachment 58838
Because of these (and possibly for other extra scratches) I will put the stencils on a hold, this way the update will be a final one.
Finally! I finished the stencils (again)! The first post was updated.
Major changes in all files!!!
Added the Base Gray color to the Red Face, Cheeks, Back Plates (this color actually replaces the Mint Green color) and Dome. This Base Gray is the first coat applied on the helmet and is visible because with the unmasking process they pulled (accidentally) the Bright Silver paint on some areas. Changed the base green color of the left ear. Added more red spots on the Red Face. The Ears and Rangefinder stencil was redone, especially the left ear, the right ear and the ear decals. Added the rust-like marks around the killstripes, which I think is actually just a residue of the sprayed killstripe color along the masked area.
Added Jayvee's awesome paint up thread to the last update in the first post. This should serve as a good example on how to use these stencils with great talent, patience and a lot of love, and of course some excellent painting tips and color lists from all the great painters from TDH.
Many thanks kind sir! :)
By request I updated the first post with all the separation files in archived JPG files for easy edit for those who want to alter the dimensions of the stencils.
Awesome work Rafal!
Superb work RafalFett some of the best ive seen mate well done to you.
Don't know if I've posted in here yet, but this is a great thread... And I think you're right on with the "mint green" color. I for one never thought that was the right color anyway.. Not really sure why people use that color, cause it's not on the hero helmet.
Fantastic work!
I seem to be having trouble opening the zip files, is there a specific program I need to download?
Clonecollector requested, which is an excellent idea, to add an image with the physical damages of the ESB Hero helmet. The end of the first post was updated with this file.
Updated the first post with the modified back plates to fit the Asok CC, GMH and Bobamaker helmets. The files are located under the Back Plate stencils in ZIP format.
These files were removed from the first post because the new stencils are made to fit these helmets too.
Rafal, You are awesome!
Hey, Rafal! Do you know of any instructions to apply the paint stencils? I am at a loss as to how to do this... :facepalm
One last wafer thin ESB paint job... and/or here ==> Jayvee's Deluxe ESB Paint UP (With An Awesome BGHunter Lid).
For a topical paint job go here ==> Superjedi's GMH as ESB for Lucksy31 and/or here ==> Converting the GMH to an ESB AOSW....
