Hide the women and children; it's High noon at the O.K. Corral. This Monday the Gunners take on Fergie's gang in the North Country. These are the games that always mean something. These are the games that put even derby games in some perspective, because no matter what happens: silverware is silverware. To bring home the trophy is everything. This is a must win. All of that, plus I can't stand "that club."
We. Must. Win.
Make no mistake; this is a grudge match. Even though this game is being played up north in Jolly Old, games against "that club" mean something extra in the States. These are the foes of American Gooners. We are forced to face their fans, with their snide remarks on the street and in the pub. This is the battle we fight. This is the line Gooners draw.
Recently, while preparing for next Monday, I was talking to another Gooner about "them" and I realized something important: this game feels like a derby match here in the States. In England, the local derby is everything. But one thing about being an ocean away from London is that big games against big teams get more attention. No surprise, really, since one never actually meets a Tottenham fan on the street, at least I don't. They are almost a curiosity. And, if you do meet one, it's just one; there are so few you almost feel sad for them, almost. It's like looking at a gerbil in a cage; you point and say, "Look at the gerbil, it's all alone." You kinda feel bad for the furry little creature, but wouldn't trade places with it for anything. So you just shrug and say, "Well, it's a gerbil."
Not so with the fans of "them from up North." Dealing with these fans is a trial of patience and fortitude, of pub arguments and street shouting matches. We face them on a daily basis. As human beings, we all strive for perfection and are all doomed to fail, nonetheless it's the effort that matters; but these fans choose to be imperfect and revel in it. And that's about the nicest thing I can write.
Arsenal Country
That's why this game is even more special. It's not just a battle for the title. It's not just a battle between two of the Big Four. This is a clash for the hearts and minds of what is good, decent and righteous. Arsenal must win. Our ascendency is now.
The rise of Arsenal in the USofA has been a long-time coming. Thankfully, America is becoming Arsenal Country. Yes, yes, "that club" still gets too much attention, but that's finally beginning to slip away. We watched as some of their fair-weather fans abandoned them to the LA Galaxy, then AC Milan, then back to the Galaxy…now who knows where they are??? And those that thought Sir Fergie was related to Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas were grossly disappointed to find out otherwise.
The pubs and bars that legions of so-called fans from "that club" used to dominate are slowly changing. The Arsenal battalions in America are growing. Granted, when I say Arsenal country I don't mean to overstate. It's not like seeing the "Don't Mess with Texas" bumper sticker everywhere. And, it doesn't quite reach the epic proportions of California Love: "WESTSIDE!" But Arsenal America is growing fast and furious, while the sun is setting on the marketing scheme of the team owned by the Glazers.
You can see it all over Gooner nation. Not only is the official organization growing – we regularly receive emails to form more branches all over the country. But as a fan, as a Gooner, it warms my heart to walk the Streets of San Francisco and see people wearing the kit or jacket. No longer is the crest of our rivals ubiquitous as a fashion statement.
Indeed, at times the ladyfriend has been awed and confounded by my fellow Gooners. On the street, strangers walk up to me in my shirt and start talking like old friends about Fabregas, Nasri and the path to silverware and glory. Other times, when the chaotic motion of The City prevents a conversation, it's a wink, a nod and a "Come on you Gunners!" as fellow Gooners pass each other; the ignorant watch us cautiously and grip their purses tightly.
Oh yes, back to the game
So turning to the actual game, the only question is who will be our gun-slinging hero? Who will march into the fragmented hostel that is Old Trafford and make the occupants curse in unintelligible words?
It seems El capitan, Cesc Fabregas, is too injured to play. But truthfully, I don't want Fab to play if he isn't ready. Although a 50% Fab is better than most, a 50% Fab is more likely to get hurt again. And that is something that would hurt the team's depth in the second-half of the season, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Carling Cup. We're still playing for four pieces of silverware!
I don't have a vote, but if I did, I would give it to the Marquis de Marseille, Samir Nasri. I'm a huge fan of Nasri and have been for a while. At 23 he's begun to impose himself on the Premier league at every chance – regardless of how the team is playing. He's the player the English press likes to underestimate. Just a starlet when he joined, Nasri is slowly becoming the engine of Arsenal. He's world class: a French National Team player of sublime skill and supreme touch.
Even better? He loves the Club and he wants to be an Arsenal legend. As a fan, who can ask for more from a player?
Others might look to our own little Rasputin, Arshavin. The Russian is not the devil in disguise, but he can be a demon for opponents in these big games. This hasn't been his best year, but he seems to be ready for a breakout game. At least he's trying. It's funny to write that actually, but that's how good he is. When not trying, he's still better than most. But on Monday he must be at his best.
Nostalgic Gooners will yearn for the return of RVP; and, the most optimistic will clamor for Walcott and Wilshere. But in the end, one cowboy must rise to the occasion. Regardless of that man though, he'll have the global Gooner posse behind him at the O.K. Corral, from the streets of N5 to the shores of California. Because this game is a must win.
Come on you Gunners!

I recently finished the 4-week intensive CELTA course and am now looking for work as an EFL teacher. I am based in the UK but want to work in the middle east or Asia. I've looked at some TEFL job websites but all I see are recruitment firms (Englishfirst, Saxoncourt, Bell....).
Can anyone one recommend a good recruitment agency to start out with? I've read mostly bad things about them all, I guess people who have had good experiences don't tell everyone about them... or no one has had a good experience with these agencies :(
I'm itching to get out there and start my career as an ELF teacher so any advice would be very gratefully appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

charcoal canister
There seems to be disconnect how the evap system works and how you think it works. I have to agree with Streetrodderbn. All the vent hose on the tank does is allows the fumes from the gas tank to flow into the charcoal canister by themselves. The vacuum that purges the canister is prevented from reaching the gas tank by a check valve. The check valve is built into the charcoal canister. When the vacuum is applied to the old style canisters the fumes from the canister are sucked into the engine along with fresh air through a filter at the bottom of the canister. Look closely at your picture and you'll see what I'm talking about. Then again, maybe I just misunderstand what you're saying.
|just a question, if you allready have a "vent tube"exiting outside the car, and still have a gas smell eminating from the tank in the car, how would adding another vent (charcol filtered or not) solve the origional problem? NEVER PUT SUCTION OF ANY KIND pcv valve or other on a fuel tank vent!!!! You are asking for catastrophy!! I would concentrate on the cap on the tank,being the malfunction,or a pinhole in the tank top.(easy to check,just empty the tank of fuel,plug the feed line, and pressurise the return line with 5lbs of compressed air) I have used the exact tank in at least 10 applications for customers, and not had a gas smell in the car! these are even smaller cars without sealed bulkheads between the trunk area.
Charcoal Canister
That's about as simple as it gets and will work fine for your application. You might want to add a rollover valve so if your rod ends up on it's roof gas won't be pouring out. What is the system in the picture from?
I'm doing some research on the evaporative systems and found almost exactly as you described. I believe you are right. No need to make a complicated system. Even if I have to clean the canister occasionally. What are streetrods for but keep you busy. I'll use the extra AN-8 for a vent to incoming air I think rather than the cap. Possibly a power brake check valve.
Thanks for the years to look for, that will be a big help. I asked how much the canister was worth at the junk yard and he said $7 so it's done deal I think.
I was on the way to the junk yard yesterday to find one but I got interrupted by a dog that needed some pets. haha It's hard being newly retired and doing nothing but waste time on that dumb streetrod as my wife says. I told her the only time I wasted was the 2 hours I spent in bed...sleeping. haha
Charcoal Canister
If you can find a vacuum schematic of an '85 Chevy with a carburated 350 you can see how they connected the charcoal canister. The PCM doesn't control it. For your application you could probably forget about the TVS (thermal vacuum switch). The TVS doesn't allow the system to purge until the engine's warmed up.
I'm the manufacture of this tank and I don't smoke.
The outside fill pipe that will eventually be installed will have a fill pipe vent to aid filling but not vented to the atmosphere. Venting will be done through the vent fitting to a canister.
You don't smoke do you?
I have an AN-8 male vent fitting and a screw on cap with no vent (Chassis shop 2"). Also I have a AN-8 male return that is capped.
here is the cad jpeg. It's about 16 gallons. 20 x 15 x 14.5. 14 ga 5052-0 aluminum.
Charcoal Canister
You're on the right track venting the vapors to a charcoal canister. Is there already some sort of a vent in the tank, or does the system you have now rely on a vented gas cap to relieve pressure in the tank?
Sorry for the confusion. It's not the exhaust fumes. It's gas fumes from the fuel tank mounted in the trunk area. Even though the trunk area is sealed off, when filling the tank some fumes remain in the trunk. Eventually there will be an external filler. The trunk is well vented. There is an external vent ( outside of the trunk) on the tank too, but if the car just sits on a hot day the fumes will get into the car, this is what I'm really after.
The exhaust is out the rear past the body lip and does not leak.
The focus of the exercise is to vent the tank so fumes don't get into the car by the venting. There is an external vent but by capturing this I hope to clean up the car.
I have been watching this thread for a few days and the confusion it is causing me makes me want to ask;
You have a fuel system that is running so rich that fumes are drawn into the passenger compartment? If so, an EVAP (or similiar) system is not going to help much. EVAP is designed to contain fuel vapors while the car is off and then burns the excess fumes while running.
Is the engine carbureted or injected? For a EVAP to work anywheres efficiently, you will need at the least closed air cleaner(s). EVAP also vents the fuel tank and carburetor bowls.
It sounds to me that either the fuel mixture needs to be leaned out or the passenger compartment needs to be sealed more tightly (exhaust pipes run to rear bumper?). Is this a steel car or fiberglass?
Now all of this having being said, early cannisters (metal) used a replacement filter and later cannisters are plastic throw away.
Hey thanks for the info. I'm going to do a layout of the system and make a Solidworks drawing. I can maybe post it so that it will be more clear.
I've seen this type of system so it is not my idea but I did not really paid attention to the details. Not enough disc space in my head. haha Sometimes streetrod stuff is not exactly correct but it works well enough for the limited amount of use we give them.
My thinking is that air will be continuously drawn in through the canister as fuel is used. When the car is shut off and simply waits for me to bring it to life again, the canister gathers fumes as required. Once the motor is started and begins to use fuel, air again comes into the canister, purging it.....hopefully.
I would think any dumping of vapors into the carb air cleaner could cause idle problems. A ported vacuum might work. My system will eventually have a blower and possibly an EFI injector so A/F ratio will be monitored. I would guess that fuel vapors dumped in will be accounted for by the o2 sensors. But I surely don't need random fuel vapors dumped in at idle, it's hard enough to keep a blown motor clean at idle. Consider also that this mess will be run on E-85. ($2.05/ gal today) I can probably tolerate some varance in mixture just as an alcohol motor can.
You know it is funny..in my younger days I would just roll the window down (hand crank not power) and say "gas fumes are just part of hot rodding, like noise, live with it." Today after 55+ years of sniffing gas and all the other hotrod fumes, I really long for a little cleaner air. haha Now if it was diesel fumes, it would be a different story. haha....yeah right a Willys with "stacks" ...I really don't wish to be banned from hotroding. haha
I'm going to the junk yard....back later.
Charcoal Canister
The reason the canister has to be purged is that after a while it will fill with vapors and will smell of gas. It's not a big deal to install one, you just buy a canister and a canister control valve and hook it all up. I'm having a difficult time picturing the rest of your set up and how it would work properly. There is a filter on the bottom of the charcoal canisters I'm familiar with. I'm not sure what you mean by running to it's own air filter. What happens is that when the purge valve opens fresh air is drawn into the canister through the bottom through the filter. That air mixes with the fuel vapors as they go into the engine. A check valve in the vapor vent line prevents pulling a vacuum in the fuel tank. The only problem I see is that the system I'm describing is an older GM one and you may not be able to get parts for it anymore. The newer ones are controlled by electric solinoids activated by the ECM. In any case I'm no instructor and sometimes don't explain things very well. I think the first thing you have to do is have a complete understanding about how the systems work then I'm sure you can design one easily enough.
Do these really need to be purged? Since I'm planning to use this on the vent line of the tank, air will come in thru the canister as well as trap fumes while the car is not running. This line will just have a air cleaner of its own attached to it....lawn mower type. The other line will go to the tank. Maybe I should use 2 vents on the tank. One would be used as described, the other would be a one way such as a check valve on a power brake unit. The check valve line would provide extra flow during high fuel useage..ie full throttle. Under normal cruise the air coming into the tank would come in thru the canister. If it needs a little more, the air can come in thru the check valve. All venting going out of the tank however will go thru the canister. The check valve could also be an inverted tip over valve,..ball bearing type.
This isn't an emmission application except to prevent fumes from entering the car.
charcoal canister
The problem there is that the PCV valve is connected to manifold vacuum which means eventually the vapors would leak out where the throttle plate is. That's never a tight seal. The other thing is that the systems are designed so the fuel vapors don't get drawn into the engine until you're cruising down the road. There are so many variables with the amount of vapors that you'd have problems maintaining a consistant idle speed and quality start up after start up.

Thread: Average at best draft?
Average at best draft?
Check out the nice piece Kris Jones did on Kelechi Osemele. The rookie really has had a nice season.
I got a little hung up on the opening line from this piece, however.
In a 2012 draft class that is shaping up to be average at best for the Ravens...
Below I subjectively list the best three picks in each draft (and the round selected) I also noted anytime a pick from the first three rounds never really panned out at all -- the busts -- or the picks from rounds 4 and on who overachieved and became regular contributors in the league. Finally, I tried to note how many picks "stuck" in the league long enough to be considered a minimally productive pick/versus the guys who really never panned out from each class.
Where does 2012's class fall? Too early to say for sure, but surely better than the god-awful 2004 and 2005 classes (the Phil Savage era) where I couldn't even bring myself to list a top three.
While there will probably be no stars, I'm not sure how many classes can match the top three as being guys who could become solid role players for a long time, at the very least, and maybe more.

It's very subjective. You may weigh a class with one star but then a bunch of marginal picks (eg, 2002) higher than I do.
Or, unlike me, you may downgrade a draft with a clear bust, even though they still salvaged a handful of really good picks from that same class (eg, 2003)
When all is said in done, where do you rank 2012 among these ten drafts?
Bear in mind, I think they only held a top-15 pick three times in these ten drafts (the drafts they selected Suggs, Ngata, and Flacco -- in 2008 they sent the 8th pick to the Jags, and then traded back up from the bottom of the first round to take Flacco 18th.) I think it's hard to expect a star from drafts when you aren't picking in the top 15.
Re: Average at best draft?
I think the front end of the draft was pretty good, especially based on where they were drafting. The back end can't be judged til time allows the others to develop. I think Tyson in the 7th was a good value pick and will be a rotation guy. Plus, Tucker wasnt drafted but adds extreme value to the rookie class.

Re: Average at best draft?
Great thread Shas.
I actually think this may be the BEST draft that the ravens have had since 2008. KO is likely to be our starting RT for years to come, and could shift over to guard and excel there too. It would not surprise me if KO ended up as a pro bowl OT or OG down the line. Upshaw looks to be at the very least Jarrett Johnson, and at the very best Lamar Woodley. Not bad at all with the first two picks.
Then you have a stud in Bernard Pierce in the 3rd round, who IMO could start on a lot of teams in the NFL as it is. 4th round picks in developmental players Gino and Thompson are yet to the be determined same for Asa Jackson.
Re: Average at best draft?
I think you're labeling Smith a bust too early. Jury is still out on him, IMO.Never get in a fight with a pig; you both get muddy, and the pig likes it...

Re: Average at best draft?
Upshaw has kinda quietly come on as the season has progressed IMHO.
Re: Average at best draft?
That kept him off the field where he needed the reps, which is of course, the foundation for learning so much quickly.
I believe he is getting better every week and he is a big body out there.
He tackles with force and may in the near future develop some moves (learning from Suggs) to get to the quarterback more often and begin separating runners from the ball. I see nothing but upside.
Re: Average at best draft?
Yeah, I debated whether to include Jimmy Smith as a bust, Cody too for that matter. But for our purposes of comparing drafts -- when you can't really say for sure where the recent drafts will end up -- i wanted to remind everyone that their first round pick from two years ago has really not even been on the field much over the course of two seasons and it's starting to feel like a Dan Cody, David Pittman, Yamon Figures, Sergio Kindle situation...only worse considering most of those are second rounders and Smith was a first round pick.
There are a bunch of second round players who we wanted to call a bust for at least two or three seasons -- Paul Kruger, Dwan Edwards, Anthony Weaver, Chris Chester -- and they eventually shook off the bust label, albeit most of them only by virtue of getting a contract elsewhere just as they are finally contributing.
I really hope Cody (and Smth) follows this pattern of eventually justifying the pick, and not the pattern of second and third rounders like Adam Terry, DeRon Jenkins, Patrick Johnson, David Pittman and Yamon Figurs, Tavares Gooden, and Devard Darling.
Re: Average at best draft?
Cody I'm fine with. And Smith is definitely borderline. I think the rest of this year, and more to the fact, next season, will be the defining moment for his NFL future.Never get in a fight with a pig; you both get muddy, and the pig likes it...
Re: Average at best draft?
To some degree you have to adjust for what they were working with each year. It's quite a handicap to start out with the 29th pick in each round and while 2008 yielded 2 foundational starters, the rest of the picks are fairly disappointing considering we started with the 8th pick in every round and had bonus picks after trading down with Jacksonville. In 2010 the FO started off without 3rd and 4th round picks because of the Anquan Boldin trade which probably nudged them to make the Tebow trade.
That said, if Gradkowski develops into a starting Center, the trade down from 29 to 35 while still picking up Upshaw will go down as one of Ozzie's finest draft day moves. It's also way too early to make a judgment on Asa Jackson or Christian Thompson which could significantly nudge 2012 up the ranks.

Re: Average at best draft?
I could quibble with a few of those spots, Shas, but that's a helpful way to think about the drafts we've had. Which is all you intended it to be.
And Osemele and Upshaw have both been fine; either or both may still emerge as stars at their positions, which isn't bad for 2d round picks.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Feast your eyes on THIS starting lineup. Felonious, indeed:
Super Collider = our own Jogging Rodney Stuckey. I predict that he'll experience another fainting spell when he gets a good look at the mighty Squirrels lineup in week 1. Zebo = Zach Randolph. ...a guy who hits the Mickey-Dees drive through and says "I'll take three of everything off of the dollar menu and a large diet coke please." (actually Zebo is a guy that we had on our draft board and I'd take him in a heartbeat. Don't tell rax though!"
Nice post. You should have highlighted this in yellow and put it at the bottom so Rax couldn't see it. I do that all the time to Rascoe after I've insulted him and that is why I haven't been kicked off the forum yet. He is too dumb to know the trick.
Yesterday at practice, Rufus and Marcus Thornton got into a shouting match over an un-resolved gambling debt. I can't have this. I'm accepting offers for [STRIKE]Rufus Henry[/STRIKE] Marcus Thornton if anyone is interested.
Sheesh. Some people just can't coexist with ANYONE. If you can't get along with [STRIKE]Marcus Thornton[/STRIKE] Rufus Henry, who CAN you get along with?? You may want to pass this on to [STRIKE]Rufus Henry [/STRIKE]Marcus Thornton. How to Get Along with People
We encourage gambling (cards, dice, roulette wheel on the team bus, various games of chance) at team functions and on road trips and feel that it fosters team chemistry. Sadly, it often escalates to substantial financial obligations for some and things can get pretty heated. Robin Lopez lost his entire salary to our team mascot (Walter the Squirrel) last year and we signed Robin's brother Brook this year on the condition that he assume his twin brother's unpaid debts. I have faith that Rufus and Marcus Thornton can work out their differences and get on with the season. However, until this situation is resolved, Thornton is on the trading block and we look forward to receiving reasonable offers for him.
Knowing Walter the Squirrel, as I do, I'm sure that he would never welch on a bet. That being said, you must pay him quite a bit for his services (or paid Robin very little) in order for Walter to make such a sizeable wager. ...Or maybe he just finally found his nuts...that he previously buried...and decided to bet his life savings. I was just thinking...if the job pays well, maybe Robin could...uhmmm... assume the role of Wanda the squirrel to pay off his debt...
I knew this was who it was when I asked. LMAO. It's such a funny nickname, it really should stick. It's just exactly what he looks like when he does it.
I picked up Daye and dropped CAS and even though the waiver time has run out nothing has happened with my roster. Is this normal or is something wrong?
today's roster is set.... so charlie V stays on your roster, change your roster to tommorrow and you'll see the drop/add has taken place.
Actually hita, I have a point of information question for you. Do you remember when it was the last Sunday games of the fantasy season and one of your players beat me for Novice championship by getting 2 3 pointers in the 4th quarter of his game? Remember? Could you please tell me who that player was? Because I think he might be on my computer drafted Advanced Fantasy team which would be way....ironic...unbearable...karmic...? Not sure which. But I'd like to know. Thank you. I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know and then after this politeness I will go back to being mad that you are all "I'm the Queen of Novice" (you are a girl aren't you?). These guys keep referring to you like you are a guy but I'm sure you aren't, right? Because the whole big deal was that two girls beat the boys last year.
Hita is a guy.
Really? I wonder where in the world I got that idea then. Someone was trash talking and saying that the guys were getting beat by girls but I guess they were just wrong. (Surprise surprise! LOL.) Sorry hita. I guess you're a guy who beat me by 2 3 pointers. But who was the player. Was it Eric Gordon? Probably. My analysis of him tells me that that is all he does. So it makes sense that that is what he did that night. But do tell me if you even remember. Thanks.
Eric Gordon will win his fantasy team a whole lot of match ups this year too, starting right away with the by many feared Ballaholics.
Roster is SET
Eric Gordon hit the three-pointers to tie you guys up in categories that week. Then hita won the tiebreaker. http://www.pistonsforum.com/fantasy...-fantasy-basketball-2009-a-70.html#post242630
OMG! That's right. It wasn't even a clear win with the 2nd 3 pointer by Gordon. It was a friggin' tiebreaker that gave him the title. I blocked it all out it was so...excruciating. Oh well...another year, another season of fantasy basketball. This year the computer picked my team and I'm in Advanced. And the computer picked Eric Gordon. Oh brother. I'll tell you right now that guy is definitely in my dog house I don't care how good he is. He can sit at the end of that bench and just think about what he did to me last year. LOL.
yes my good Big Ten friend Eric Gordon bailed me out. He was hot at the end of the season, and picking Collison up off the waiver wire is what put me over the top. Being able to play JJ at the G position, and Eric Gordon at SG made it hard to beat.
It wont be that close this year my friends.

An ominous quiet reigns in Rangoon after the beatings and killings of last week. Truckloads of troops drive around carefully examining people for any sign of disobedience. Streets are being cleaned in anticipation of the arrival of UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari who undoubtedly will be told there were only minor disturbances. The New Light, official newspaper of the military junta, published pictures of young boys and girls who were arrested for owning "catapults"(sling shots) which apparently were the weapons used to viciously attacked soldiers armed with rifles, machine guns, etc… It is now a crime to possess a sling shot. The oslo based Democratic Voice of Burma claims at least 4 monks died while being held in detention centers. The military junta has ordered that monks should be sent back to provinces and made it an illegal action for a monastery to allow a non-monk to spend the night. It is a Burmese tradition that strangers can always find refuge for the evening in a monastery.
In 1988, the military junta killed at least 3,000 people who protested — many of whom were students. Last week's figures are unclear but the death figure may well exceed a hundred. Every time the UN Security Council attempts to take action against Burma's rulers, Russia and China block action.

You guys have got me rolling this morning.
I was wondering whether someone would end up posting about those possessions without me doing it first. There was a third possession either right before those two or right after those two that was utterly appalling as well but I can't remember what exactly he did though. I might start calling him Pong and Will Bynum is Ping. Workin to get us more bawls.
In honor of Rodney Stuckey, I gave a ride to school to 14 of my son's friends in my little Sebring this morning.
This letter has been sitting on JD's desk unopened since mid Dec. "Cheney, WA., December 13, 2010 – Eastern Washington University today announced that it will conduct a voluntary Safety Recall involving approximately 1 2007 Model Year Point Guard(s) produced between 2005 and 2007 to repair a neurotransmitter substance deficiency. Due to the lack of serotonin messenger, the point guard could be compelled to drive recklessly into stationary objects while in operation and show no emotional reaction whatsoever."
It seems you forgot this piece: "Also, high concentrations of estrogen may be released, which could lead to uncontrollable hugging of combatants immediately following a competition."
...and Prone to fainting spells at any moment. Use with caution!
Getting on the train, Stuckey-style. YouTube - Getting on board a train in China
I thought for sure the guard was going to stop that first guy who started pushing. Wrong again.
I would think that a human "french fry scoop" like McDonald's uses could be employed to just load those passengers through the top of the car. It would be just as humane...
Holy Jeebus!!!! I can not believed that happened.... I was thinking the whole time that someone was gonna get knocked out by someone already in the car. Then when that didn't happen the employees for the train station started pushing? Unbelievable. That is crazy. Super collider would feel right at home.
It was white-gloved service though.
That's not funny. Just to let you know: I only help with the gang push when the appearance of rightful socks are needed. Yep, that's me in the white ones. And please don't say I look like Jerry Lewis.
No time to read the thread. Quick report on game. Good rotation used in first half. 2nd half was winnable - despite it being a 2nd game of a back to back. Problem was the coach -who true to form would not adjust when things went badly in the 2nd half. He basically just threw in the towel- something he did a lot of last year though not lately. Bottom line - we need a coach. Hopefully, Gores will buy the team soon - and ditch Kuester in a hurry. If Ben Wallace can't guard his guy - and the team can't score with him in the game - it just might be time to make an adjustment - rather than throw in the towel - showing no heart at all. He compounded that lack of courage by babbling on about his team not showing effort. Again - he was the only guy in the game not showing effort. Rather than effort, all you get from Kuester after the game is a pile of stinky excuses.
I'm not deluding myself into thinking that this was a winnable game. Maybe sometimes we can sneak up an elite team here and there. But the Lakers did to us what we used to do all the time to other teams - they stepped on our necks in the second half and easily ran away with the win. It's cute to think we were trading punches with the big boys, but come on - the Lakers are prizefighters. They wore us down for the first half and then elevated their game for the TKO. If we were really capable of hanging tough with them down the stretch, we wouldn't have the record we do.
Good call....the Pistons currently have a 15% chance of making the playoffs.
Winnable game - you don't quit unless you are a quitter. The coach is the last person who should quit trying to win a game.
He doesn't quit...He just doesn't know how to win. He does like spinning his wheels though.
My perspective is definitely a fan perspective. The coach and players should never admit to themselves or others that they believe that, even if they do.

That's a nice setup you've got there. Helmet looks very sharp, and it all matches beautifully. Well done, can't wait to see the whole thing on you!
Oooo very nice! Holiday Fett has always has those most different color combination...but it works masterfully!
That helmet is seriously nice man.
Really cool. You did a great job on everything, especially the weapons. What color did you use for the topcoat on the shoulders and the upper area of the backplate?
Thats one killer set-up man!
Incredible job man!!!
WOAH!!!! Thats pretty friggin sweet!!!! Look forward to completed suit pics!!!
For the topcoat I use a colour called "teerschwarz matt" RAL 9021
Here´s a link to revells colour range:
Still my hero. Love the Holiday version!

That is just to cool. Outstanding work Sven.
I'm at a total loss for words
Yet another example that really tells me I want to do the Holiday Special Fett over ESB. I can't wait to see the whole ensemble together!
man, i love your alternate fett costumes. i love seeing people do these more rare costumes
Uggg...put it on, put it on!!!! I wanna see it all together!!!!!! Very cool!!!!
Nicely done!
Very cool! I love the fact that you aren't just usung all the regular Fett armor but making shape changes. Don't forget to make a list of all the colors, too.
Is that a set of kid's bicycle forks on your rifle there? LOL!
I wanna see this thing all together. Can't wait for pics.
This just in.....I sorta hate you. I wish I had that much talent, your peices are aboutly awsome! I can't wait to see it together either, it will deffintly be one of the best Holiday Fett's ever.
I love this! The colors do indeed work beautifully, the helmet is stunning! I can't wait to see it all together, well done.
That is beautiful, could you please take a pic in full costume, would love to see it.
great job!
Very nice!!

I sure would like to find that hive, just to see them as a unit.
Doesn't it drive all you beeks crazy when some beeks obviously don't read or absorbed the posts they respond to, selecting instead to ignore the 'reality' observed by the poster? Keeping an open mind...whatever happened to that concept? Urban legend? We live in the woods :-D
To repeat from above; the small black honeybees I've personally observed are hitting the goldenrod, not my hives. I don't have a feed station set up yet as the goldenrod while past peak, is still blooming.
These 'black honeybees' still have lots of hair, grayish in color but their bodies are mostly if not all black with little to no golden/honey color. They don't 'appear' black (because they're old and have rubbed off their Hair), they have hair and ARE black.t

As of late webley runs have come from every direction.
Well, seeing as it appears theres never going to be a time when theres not a run going I might as well give you all some details on mine.
I have been working the molds but have not had strength to demold anything. This weekend I went a little further, and poured the barrell.
The cool thing about this project, is I intend them to come out of the mold with no seam lines on any outward facing surfaces.
Meaning you wont clean them up. Im putting together a material list that will give the gun extremely durable properties. I intend to use a mixture of rubber, resin, float and other materials im workign with alumilite with, to create a gun thats extremely acurate.
Unfortunately this isnt going to be a $40 budget fett run. It will be sub 200 shipped item. I will most likely clean the flashing and test fit them all to make sure they are right before they ship. Each piece of the itemw ill be the correct color/material. The grips will be bronze, the dbracket gunmetal/silver gun black. stock dark brown so that any scratches/chips wont show white resin through. You know the deal. All the extra touches that make it viable for both use and long term wear.
Here, for your interest, is the first pic of a pulled barrell. No cleanup has been done on this. I simply swiped some rub and buff on the edges to give it a little bit of a worn look.
Input is welcome. Interest is even more welcome. At the end of the run my webley will be for sale for what I paid for it.
Pretty cool ehh? The above barrell is in shock resistant pourable plastic.
I dropped it from my loft onto carpeting and it didnt budge. On concrete, they 'scrape' but dont crack.
Because of the way Im creating this, i intend to be able to sell 'replacement' pieces so that if you do manage to break them, you wont need an entire kit. Just a barrell for $40.

The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
Here's a link to a list of players selected with the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft throughout the draft's history.
LINKFollow me on Twitter @RSRLombardi
Re: The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
Two of the last twelve 32nd picks are Hall of Famers. That's not bad. Unfortunately, a lot of the others have sucked. Note, though, that it seems like the quality of these picks has definitely improved of late.

Re: The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
David Wilson- good probability of being a very useful NFL back. At best, easily justifies the pick. At worst, probably still a productive player given his versatility.
Sherrod- I was amazed that Sherrod lasted all the way to pick 32. He seemed like a 10 year starter type. He's only played 5 games (0 starts) in two years.
Patrick Robinson- might be the worst starting CB in football.
Hood- solid D-lineman. Probably not a pro bowler, but a solid NFL starter.
Merling- big bust
Anthony Gonzalez- Despite having Peyton Manning throwing him the football, he caught less than 100 NFL passes. Injuries are more responsible for that than ability, but it was still an awful pick.
Kiwanuka- good pick.
Mankins- likely Hall of Famer
Watson- productive TE. Still in league. However, if you draft a TE in the first round, you'd hope they have more than 3700 receiving yards in 9 years.
Brayton- not a total bust, since he played in 140 NFL games and started over 90, but when you draft a DE in the first round, you hope for more than 17 sacks over a career.
Brees- first ballot hall of famer.
Johnson, Northcut, Pathon- none of them were massive busts, but none of them were particularly good either. All three caught between 3500-4900 yards a piece. You hope for more with your first round pick. I never considered Mark Clayton a bust, so I don't consider any of these three in that category either.
The four picks from 94-97 were all busts. Mahlum, Davis, and McElroy all were in the NFL for less than 3 years. Newsome was supposed to be a bigtime player in Green Bay and was a disappointment, although he did manage to start on and off for them for about 4 years. He was a small bust. The other 3 were enormous Kindle-sized busts.
Re: The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
Good run in the late 70s, early 80s. Smerlas, Donaldson, Ellard and Case all made Pro Bowls.

Re: The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
This is important to note because a player going to the team that was the worst in the league the previous season is going to have a much different career than if he was going to the Super Bowl champions. Both have their pros and cons. He might get more playing time at the bad team, but he also might be overwhelmed, and discouraged being on a bad team.
Re: The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
If we were basing off this alone id say trade out but the difference is were drafting and our FO is better than these teams. we followed the SB with Todd Heap as the last pick of the 1st. were better at drafting than most teams, so that would hold true over this as well.-JAB
Re: The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
I know it is not quite the same, but if you look pre-1995 at final pick of the 1st round selections (when there were fewer than 32), there were some decent picks there, too - Derrick Alexander, George Teague, Darryl Williams, Rob Moore, Neal Anderson, to name a few.
Re: The History of the 32nd Pick in the NFL Draft
In addition to Heap, Ozzie got Hartwell, Rabach and Baxter - a pretty good haul for drafting last. Heap and Hartwell alone kept the Ravens winning for years but teams are starting to catch up now as we saw last year. DeCosta even said we had to manufacture runs with guys like Bernard Pierce from little Temple and Gino who will take Birk's place from little Delaware. Pierce gives the Ravens the best 1-2 RB punch in the NFL and all that after Oz
got Upshaw from the national championship team at Alabama. Then there's the project
Streeter who may or may not be really good some day. I'm betting he will be good.
Someone like Cyprien or Elam will fall to Ozzie this year too. If not, he'll trade down for extra picks like he did with Pitta and Dickson who just won the SB for

text: Hi my question to everyone is i have a 2002 wrx with an aftermarket blow off valve cold air intake and all of a sudden it is not sounding right and my wrx seems to have lost some of its power, it is sluggish. Does anyone know what might be the problem with it. The blow off valve is still working but know sound and the cold air intake i cannot hear it taking in air. the weather just warmed up in this area and my car has 66 thousand miles could the weather play a part in this

hi, im new to beekeeping and have just aquired my passed grandfathers hives, and i dont want to let him down, i do know a fair bit already about the subject but need some professional advice that i cannot find in books, a few questions i need help with and they are>The hives i aquired have been badly kept due to the old mans health, he didnt have much time to look after them, i have noticed already that the frames are in terrible condition, some frames have holes for the shb to hide, others are cracked, also the laying brood pattern is very irregular. i do however have brand new frames and foundation all ready to go, the problem is, how do i replace those bad frames (which have brood) with new foundation without affecting brood rearing etc? i have a shb trapped iserted also? i know the queens need redoing too. and another thing, i only just got these hives to my house and i noticed one of my hives is throwing out alot of dead bee mummies, any ideas would be so very very helpful, thank you :P
not good guys, ive failed on 1 of my hives, i went to inspect and check for all diesease etc etc, after reaching the brood chamber i temporarily stored 3 frames of brood into a spare nuc box, looked down, and there were thousands and thousands of grubs, shb grubs, after looking closer at the frames of brood, i noticed grubs crawling out of nearly every cell! i grabbed my other spare nuc box with 5 premade frames with foundation and shook as many bees as quikly as i could into this box, i had left 2 full frames of honey on the super so i took out 2 of those frames of foundation and put the full frames of honey in there, so my nuc box goes like this, 5 frames, 1, foundation, 2, foundation, 3, honey, 4, foundation, 5, honey...... i stole asmuch untouched pollen from some of the other frames of brood and put it in between the tops of the centre 2 frames. the amount of pollen is approx the size of a kids fist... wat do i do ????
yer, i cant fully be sure if i got the queen, but im going to leave this hive for 2 days just so they can settle down abit.. ill first try and find the queen,, if i succeed in finding her, ill then steal a frame of comb and put it right into the centre of the hive inbetween my 2 frames of honey and then pray to god haha:P can i possibly take a frame of brood from another hive and put it straight in??? and if so, will it badly weaken my strong hive?? also, i have italian hives, but my queen (i think) has a really big black bumb on her?? im guessing she is really old or i just cant spot her??

One of the basic requirements of evolution is variation in a population upon which selection can act. One of the sources of variation is mutation in DNA. These changes may or may not be reflected in the ensuing amino acid sequence of a protein. This exercise explores the additive effects of mutation on an amino acid sequence over several generations. The activity is also useful in that it addresses several of the components of Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection. There are three separate activities, one regarding sequence change over time, one regarding selective pressure on sequences, and one regarding divergence over time.
Intended Audience
Learning Objectives
By completing this activity, the student will be able to:
- Understand that variation in a sequence can be generated through mutation.
- See that successive rounds of mutation lead to further variation in a sequence.
- Recognize that sequences that are most closely related in a temporal sense will share the highest degree of similarity.
- Become familiar with the degeneracy in the amino acid code and how it may mask underlying changes in the DNA sequence.
- Be able to use clustering programs to perform an analysis of similarity.
- Recognize sequence similarity in organisms may indicate underlying evolutionary relatedness.
Necessary Student Background
Theory, evolution, natural selection, artificial selection, extant, extinct, neutral mutation, silent mutation, codon, CLUSTAL, dendrogram

The David Owsley University Museum of Art offers visitors a mostly unexplored view of printmaking by women artists in
Moses set adrift on the Nile, Claudine Bouzonnet-Stella, 1672, Engraving, Purchase: Museum of Art Endowment
Women in Print: Female Printmakers 1500-1800, an exhibition drawn from the collection of the Allentown (Pennsylvania) Art Museum. Until modern times, women engravers often worked as silent partners, helping as needed in the family business but leaving little evidence of their contributions. A few women did and they are represented in the exhibition. The etchings and engravings represent six countries and span three centuries, from the Italian Renaissance through the French Revolution to the Romantic Era at the end of the Napoleonic Empire. The subjects encompass a variety of categories, including religion, history, portraiture, landscape, still life, animals, and scenes of daily life. The show is a celebration of women artists in a time when there was so much working against them. "The whole notion of gender bias—critically, commercially, and in every other sense—is very real in the art world," says director, Peter Blume, "and while post-World War II we have a good representation of women artists, before that time their work is rare. This collection offers evidence that women were working as designers, engravers, and publishers of their own work, and doing it as well as the men."
Impressions from the Feminine Perspective: Women Printmakers from Three Centuries An essay on the subject of female printmakers in regard to the Women In Print exhibition by Star Siegele, who played an integral role in assembling the collection of prints by women artists at the Allentown Art Museum.
Exhibition Date: February 29, 2008 - May 11, 2008

Reliability and US MIL-STD-810F Testing
The MIL-STD-810F test series, approved for use by all departments and agencies of the United States Department of Defense (DoD), emphasizes tailoring an environmental design and test limits to the conditions that it will experience throughout its service life.
Test Results
May 2012:
A US-based Gumstix customer passed US MIl Spec 810.F tests for both shock and vibraton with an Overo IronSTORM COM, custom expansion board and flex ribbon cable connection.
These test results prove the robustness of the dual 70-pin connectors and the 27-pin connector of the Overo COM mechanical design.
The Overo COM and the expansion board were secured together using Gumstix' white retaining spacers 48 / 48.
Their configuration of "ground equipment" consisted of the following components:
- an Overo IronSTORM COM connected to their custom expansion board via the dual 70-pin connectors.
- a flex ribbon cable running from a TI video encoder chip on the custom expansion board up to the 27-pin camera connector (J5) on the Overo COM.
Important Recommendations:
- Ensure that the flex cable goes into the 27-pin connector flat and level and that the flex cable remains flat and level during operation.
- Use each white ribbon cable for a maximum of ten cycles, only. One cycle = an insertion and removal to the 27-pin connector.
Test Results;
MIL-STD 810F Method 514.5 Vibration (constant acceleration) - Passed
MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5 Shock - Passed. Note, this testing included "40G jolts while running", according to the customer.
In Use Experience:
March 2012: Some customer experiences regarding the reliability of the Overo series have been openly discussed on the Gumstix communtiy mailing list, such as this thread titled overo com reliability.
- "We have had a little over 200 Overo COMs out in public transport vehicles (buses and ferries) since May 2009. We have had zero failures. The environment is quite harsh with units being switched on/off several times a day with no shut-down procedure and operational spikes of over 40C ambient (buses parked in direct sunlight with AirCon switched off". This Gumstix customer originally reported the testing results above.
- This mailing list discussion concluded with this posting by Mark Meisner, also a Gumstix customer:· "After researching the reliability issues further we've found that the few identified issues have been already been addressed and are no longer open issues.·Therefore, we have concluded to continue to move forward with the development of our project with full confidence in the Gumstix platform".
Test Results:
July 2009:
The tests performed by this Gumstix customer simulated vibration for the equivalent of 1,642,500 kilometers, which is the average distance a bus travels in 5 years making this testing an accelerated simulation of a "Diesel Engine Road Vehicle" running over an assortment of road surfaces. Essentially, an hour of simulation equates to a number of kilometres travelled.
- Their Overo COM and Tobi expansion board configuration passed the 5 year, MIL-STD-810F 514.5·military test for·Vibration (constant acceleration).This extended test result was completed successfully because the customer engineers secured the Gumstix Overo and Tobi boards together with the·retaining spacers supplied by Gumstix and gluing the configuration together. This extra mechanical connection was deemed to have reduced board flexing.
- Their Overo COM and expansion board combination passed the 2-3 year, MIL-STD-810F 514.5 mark without the addition of retaining spacers, gluing or screws.
Further commentary from the customer:
- The testing done by this customer is extremely harsh.
- The customer stated that "the design and robustness of the Gumstix Overo series without the retaining spacers is extremely high and under normal circumstances are fit for purpose" and "that they "don't believe that any units would have actually failed in the field".
- The customer tested 3 Gumstix Overo units: one announcement unit, one tracking unit and an Overo Earth/Summit combination. All three configurations complied with this MIL-STD-810F standard until approximately the 2 – 3 year mark. Under strobe light/vibration observations without spacers, the customer could see the U8 end of the Overo flexing at resonant frequencies.
The customer reported that this flexing does not happen to the Overo COM when the retaining spacers are fitted. The customer believes that this 'flexing' is causing small amounts of wear to the plug/sockets that eventually leads to failure at the 2-3 year mark when cycled under this accelerated simulation.

Baby Sensory
A Baby Sensory franchise offers the opportunity to build your own successful business, working hours to fit your personal circumstances. Franchisees will be able to share with parents the joy and sense of awe that arises from seeing a baby learn. They will also establish strong relationships with the adults and babies in the class.
Why choose a child development franchise?
Parents are taking an ever increasing interest in the early development of their babies and recognise the benefit to their baby of early years communication. Increases to paid maternity means that parents will be able to spend more time with their child during the first year of life.
The constant demand for baby classes indicates huge potential for growth and opportunity in this market.
For working parents, childcare can be a problem. Running your own business gives you the flexibility to choose hours to suit your personal circumstances.
What makes Baby Sensory unique?
Unlike many similar services, the Baby Sensory experience is suitable for babies from birth, allowing early bonding for parents and their new babies. Baby Sensory franchisees will therefore already have established strong relationships with parents and babies before they even consider attending other programmes.
Our classes cater for groups of 0 - 6 months and 7 to 13 months.

Baby Sensory Sutherland ShireBy Aimee on 5/11/2014 10:48:25 AM
My daughter and I love Baby Sensory with Nerida! Every week is a new themed week and my daughter loves all the signing and signing. She went nuts for the light show week! I love how relaxed it is and I love getting ideas for developmentally appropriate activities to do at home. We're definitely signing up for next term!

I'm so glad I found baby sensory, it has been amazing!!! Not only are the classes engaging and fun, but Cooper and I both learn new things every week. The class variety is fantastic and Nerida is not only well organised and professional, but down to earth, fun and extremely engaging especially with the bubs. I would recommend to anyone looking for an activity you can do wi (...) Read more

Baby Sensory is the highlight of my week!!By cheree.bradshaw on 30/05/2012 1:35:04 PM
I went along to my first baby sensory class, and fell in love with it! Every week, not only does my baby learn something new, but I do too! I get so many play ideas that I bring home and share with my partner. It has given me confidence in my parenting skills, and has given my baby so much pleasure! I recommend Baby sensory to all new parents. Its amazing.
We love Baby Sensory!By Claire on 29/05/2012 11:45:35 AM
Baby Sensory was recommended to me by a girlfriend and I'm so glad she told me about it! I started taking my daughter when she was 6 months old and we both look forward to our class every week. We love the social aspect - we've met lots of new friends! The music and activities are lots of fun and a great opportunity for learning tips and tricks about activities we can do (...) Read more
SECRET HARBOUR BABY SENSORYBy melissa.lillywhite on 25/05/2012 4:52:08 PM
I can highly recommend Baby Sensory at Secret Harbour. We have now advanced to the Toddler Sensory class but in this time I can see the development in my little one. She loves the classes and I do too. It is great to get out of the house and do a class that I know she will enjoy and get something out of. It is also a great way for Mum's to network and meet new people. My f (...) Read more

Baby SensoryBy narelle.martin.31 on 19/05/2012 2:21:36 PM
I started my little girl, Aaliyah in Baby Sensory at 7 weeks old. I found it to be a lovely bonding experince with her. It is one on one with her without the distractions you get at home. Being a first time Mum it also gave me some great ideas to play with her at home and help with her development. We looked forward to the class every week! Narelle - from Secret Harbou (...) Read more
