Hey all,
I've been working on my Fett suit off and on for about 4 years now and I've finally decided to get serious about it and finish the thing. As of right now I have a half done scratch-built jet pack, the armor, and what I once thought was an accurate jumpsuit and a passable bucket (Don Post '97 - if I knew then what I know now...). All of them need paint/weathering and I'm debating about whether or not to scratch the jumpsuit & helmet altogether and start new. Decisions...
I'm beginning to assemble a website to detail my costume's creation, but it is slow going as I have no real prior experience with web design. I want it to kind of be a "Boba Fett for dummies" type of a site because when I first started lurking, there were a lot of terms I didn't understand, and a lot of processes and techniques I didn't know about. But now that I'm more in the know, I thought to share that info with others to help make the introduction into Fett Costuming a bit easier for newbies, you know, try and streamline the planning and preparation phases. When it gets up and running, I'll put the address in my signature.
Since I've been lurking for a while now, I want to thank you all for all the hard work and effort you guys put into your suits and all the valuable info you have posted in the forums. Thanks. You guys rock!
(On a side note, I recently discovered there was a ebay user named fett4life - that's not me, and if the ebay fett4life is one of you, PM me and let me know.)

Chuks Aneke's loan spell with Crewe Alexandra has been extended by one month, until November 12.
The 19-year-old midfielder has so far featured three times for Steve Davis' League One side, starting games against Oldham Athletic and his former loan club Stevenage.
An England youth international, Aneke made his first-team debut for Arsenal in the 3-1 League Cup victory over Shrewsbury Town in September 2011.
The Newham-born youngster continued his progression with the Club in pre-season when he joined the first-team squad on their tour of Asia, scoring the winner against a Malaysia XI in Kuala Lumpur.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Chuks well for his continued stay at the Alexandra Stadium.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

Higher Education is a Top Priority in President Obama's FY 2015 Budget
Mar 11, 2014
By Katherine Saunders and Marcie Foster
Last Tuesday, President Obama released a FY 2015 budget proposal that prioritizes education and reaffirms a commitment to making college affordable and improving college completion rates.
This year's budget request builds on previous actions by the Administration to make college affordable and increase the proportion of Americans with a postsecondary credential. The budget makes key investments in existing programs and proposes new programs that would give states and institutions bigger, more defined roles in supporting access and success for low-income and moderate-income students.
The President maintains his commitment to existing programs that serve as the bedrock of student financial aid. The budget calls for an increase in the maximum Pell Grant to $5,830 for the 2015-2016 academic year and takes steps to shore up the program's funding gap in future years by reforming the Perkins Loan program. These funds would ensure Pell grants remain available to nearly 9 million low- and moderate-income students.
Additionally, the budget calls on Congress to pass legislation that would make federal financial aid available to students without a high school diploma or equivalency who are enrolled in eligible career pathways programs. This critical provision, which CLASP strongly supports, would strengthen adult career pathway bridge programs and co-enrollment approaches that help low-income, low-skilled adults and out-of-school youth. Right now, students enrolled in these programs are not eligible to receive a single dollar of federal financial assistance (including student loans) for their college coursework.
The Budget also seeks to reform campus-based aid programs, such as federal work-study. The request would revise current allocation formulas, disbursing funds to institutions based on the enrollment and graduation of Pell-eligible students rather than historical funding levels. Two new investments in the President's budget request include the College Opportunity and Graduation Bonus and the State Higher Education Performance Fund. The College Opportunity and Graduation Bonus would include $7 billion in mandatory funding over 10 years to reward colleges that successfully enroll and graduate a significant number of low- and moderate-income students "on time" (not defined in the budget request). Under this new program, annual grants would be given to eligible institutions based on their number of on-time Pell graduates multiplied by a tiered bonus amount per student ($1,000 for each Pell graduate at a four-year institution, $700 at two-year institutions, and $350 at less-than-2-year institutions).
Bonus funds would be used by institutions to improve college access and success for low-income students through such activities as awarding need-based aid, enhancing supportive services, and pursuing acceleration strategies. The State Higher Education Performance Fund proposes $4 billion in four-year competitive grants to encourage and support systemic efforts to improve college attainment and affordability, especially for low-income students. Grantees would implement performance-based policy and funding reforms that encourage degree attainment and affordability. States would be required to match their federal grants dollar for dollar, for a total investment of $8 billion over four years.
Finally, the budget requests the permanent extension of the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), which provides financial assistance to students or to taxpayers whose children are attending college (see CLASP proposal to make the AOTC work better for low- and moderate-income students). The request also ends the taxation of Pell grants.
Overall, the budget reflects a continued commitment to low-income students and takes steps to strengthen the role of institutions and states in supporting student success. Collectively, the proposed reforms seek to increase access to college and employment opportunities by making postsecondary education more affordable and better targeting resources to institutions that demonstrate success in access, affordability, and completion. As Congress prepares its budget and higher education funding levels for the upcoming fiscal year, it should consider these reforms a strong foundation for improving college affordability and improving the skills of America's workforce.

Any thoughts on this gun ? Is this worth the $429 price ?

Any thoughts on this gun ? Is this worth the $429 price ?
I think the price asked is fair
For not very much more money, you could have a CZ-75B, in a similar, but more modern type pistol. I love the 1911 platform in .45ACP, and the RIA is a decent gun, but the CZ-75 and all of its variants, is a superb 9mm, can be used as double or single action, holds up to 16 rounds, and shoots 2" groups at 25 yards, right out of the box.
I gave $460 for mine, about 2-3 years ago. They are a little higher now, but they are probably worth it.
The similarities are that they are roughly the same size, have exposed hammers, and both can be carried cocked and locked. The 'more modern' design I was referring to includes the DA trigger, which enables you to carry a round in the chamber, with the hammer down on it...meaning you do not have to carry cocked and locked if you happen not to like that carry mode. The long trigger pull is an advantage, in this case, because it lets you fire in double-action mode. If you don't like it, simply carry it cocked and locked, exactly as you would properly carry a 1911 style pistol, and you are in single action mode - no different than with a 1911.
Wonder if that means that they don't have them any more ?
If that were the case, looks like they might just say that, instead of just completely deleting any reference to that particular pistol.
Does this tactical model of the 9mm RIA come standard with fully adjustable rear sights ?
For about 60.00 less you can get the Bersa Thunder High Capacity Pro in 9mm with 17 in the mag and 1 in the pipe for 18 total. Life time warranty to original owner.
Would love to shoot a CZ but the range I go to only sells them, CZs are not on the rental side of the store.
wpshooter, did you find the 9mm at Centerfire on Fri.?
wpshooter did you ever find the RIA 9mm? Sarco Inc has them now.
When you get the RIA replace the recoil & FP springs with Wolff springs, replace FP for something of better quality, then shot the snot out of the gun. That are accurate and will do their part if you do your part, I've had three and only problem is no 10 mm offered. If a 10 mm or 10mm short (aka 40 cal) I would have two, a full sized and officer models.

|Product Type
|Country of Manufacture
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas™ help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, we evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Our line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Our nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for WellnessSM is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Three bodies found in East Cleveland
(Cuyahoga County) - Police say three bodies have been found in plastic bags in East Cleveland and 35-year old convicted sex offender Michael Madison is in police custody.
Police Commander Mike Cardilli said a woman's body was found Friday in a garage and two other bodies were found Saturday - one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house.
The remains were discovered in the area of Shaw and Hayden Avenues, and two bodies found Saturday are also females.
Investigators blocked off the area and detectives searched abandoned homes for additional bodies before calling off the search Sunday.
Mayor Gary Norton
Mayor Gary Norton visited the scene Saturday and called the tragedy "an absolute worst case senario".
East Cleveland detectives believe the cases are related. All the victims were found in garbage bags, and may have died within 6 to 10 days of each other.
Cardilli said Madison was arrested after a standoff with police Friday, and is a suspect in all three deaths. Madison remains in custody, and is expected to be formally charged Monday. The investigation continues.

May want to commission a helmet PM inbound
May want to commission a helmet PM inbound
Thank you PM about to be replied
Sorry I forgot to reply Dudesir: Plastic welding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia More than you ever wanted to know about welding and the various methods This is different to gluing where you are introducing another product to act as the bonding agent, ie chemical bonds to the agent, but getting the two layers to bond together.
I used a solvent, in this case acetone.
I have found PVC cement to be amazing for the extruded and expanded PVC I used (pipe and sheet).
Also I have spent the last two days getting plasticine on my mannequin to sculpt new greaves and cast them in epoxy Fibreglass. This time I'm going to do it right and get the cloth as I am really really bad at getting matting to lay nice and flat and thin. I think it is partly my desire to get out of the room when the epoxy is opened and so I rush.
Last edited by ShaeVizla; Dec 29, 2011 at 3:26 AM. Reason: these are not the typos you're looking for, move along.
Shae, no worries on the reply. I found a couple of videos on YouTube that were very helpful. I have practiced the technique a little bit since then with a blaster concept. Will do some more when I return to the States. Thank you though. Again, very impressive work.
#shae greaves templating 4 hours just to here oy #swtor costuming fun!
This is a dreadful photo but evidence I am in fact working on the greaves finally! Ordered the resin so it should be here tomorrow. I'll be scanning and printing these pieces on photopaper and resinning direct over that. I'll likely stick them over the mannequin legs which have been built up to be about the right size- I find the hardest part to using card as a frame to resin and glass over is preventing warpage and usually that is down to not having the card supported in the right shape. I need to fix my chest plate and pauldrons with heat fairly regularly as they collapsed during curing.
So tomorrow is scanning and processing and templating of the thigh pieces. That's a bit harder as the asymmetry is worse and the left piece stick out quite a way.
Hasbro is releasing an action figure of Shae Very excited
Oh and please forgive the cat photo. I wanted to see if I could get in on the meme. My boy was most uncooperative.
So today I tested my greaves in card and resin. I need to tweak them a bit (then need to be longer, wider at the mid calf narrower top and bottom (I've been jogging, it kind of does interesting things to muscles).
But the shape is really good. They look a little like the pep. Iornman greaves but it is pure coincidence I'll need to tweak the flare of the "diamond" a little more As with the chest, back, pauldrons I'll have them all on electronic file. So less progress than I hoped but we aren't having a launch party here in NZ so not much point rushing to get it done in the next few days
Mother of god.... this is so amazing. MOAR
What! Your build is amazing. The details are fantastic and the fact you did it yourself. Wow. Simply put. You rock my world. I really aspire to be able to scratch build costumes eventually. You are inspiring.
Need that helmet sooo bad in June for real
Having a spot of trouble with health (as in I haven't been able to even walk many days let alone make stuff or keep up online.)
Waiting on some cloth and matting to arrive, it seems the courier company has lost track of my order- it's across town but I can't physically get to the store atm.
A bit frustrating all round
However I have started to cut back my Jetpack and other small parts to allow for wiring and lights and a better rigging. It's a little hard with only a bodysuit underneath.. and the back plate is meant to also be seen without the jetpack so I can't go cutting slots in it.... although maybe....
I also picked up a few pieces of plastic tubing to redo the arm ammo.
I'm also seriously in love with my set in game (mix of RD16A, Rd16B and Electrum Onslaught modable gear) Sort of Shae and Zam together It's to the point I am looking at recasting parts and painting them to my current scheme. All new chest piece as they are different in game though. Not for this forum though as it is essentially a custom mando Yes, I chose to take up the name in game.
I can't wait till 1.3 so I can have augmented custom anything. Cause having to have only the crafted gear stinks looking like everyone basically. Wearing the war hero gear augmented right now. Would love the mando year from mandalorian raiders that gear is really sweet looking.
Yep I have held on to two augments that dropped some slicing (I think- I went slicing before crafting) just in case. Glad I did I haven't seen anyone wandering around in the scheme I am so the new augment slot is going to make it even more fun I look frilly? Bam, how about them frills eh? Eh?
My parcel of FG clothy goodness is being held up by the courier company. They got the goods on the 15th, decided on the 16th to scan them as "urgent" and finally delivered at the very end of the day on the 18th. So close to end of day that I wasn't home and the phone was unmanned. So it'll be a full wwek for my "urgent" parcel to arrive from the other side of the city.
So, I missed a big huge chunk of progress over here, oops.
Well despite having to check my carry on luggage in (drop off at end of air walk pick up same spot at next airport) which held my helmet and torso armour (as well as gauntlets and other smaller items packed inside the helmet) Shae is back home in the same number of pieces as she left! yay! I may have needed medical intervention on the teeny tiny jet from DFW to SFO because I didn't want to be one of Those Angry passengers...
And so then in character I got to Shoot All The Things! Bounty Hunters, can't take them anywhere:
For Balmorra and Belsavis! That is the famous Roxy. So glorious.
And met amazing people:
And stormed the Rebels:
Took over the Imperials:
Took a taxi, er, speeder to Endor:
And eventually was caught and repackaged:
More people shared on Facebook but it is being a pain to deal with but I have been able to get a few shared to my page:
though they are intersperced with a few rants about the flights back and other projects
I still need to harvest in progress photos from a few cameras so will try and do a progress update.
I have just bought more material to redo the chest and back plates, saving up for replacement bodysuit too
Oh and in case you didn't notice, it's pretty fun in Shae's shoes. So much fun. Except in the Marriott elevators.
wow amazing work. Im also going to be planing on making two of these. One for me and one for may youngest daughter.
Love this costume and I was happy to get a picture with you at CVI.
Holy **** this is amazing... more plz...
Wow, that has to rank up among one of the coolest things I have seen in years!
That *is* awesome. I'm sorry I missed seeing you while at CVI. Very cool indeed.
Thank you both I have a few redos to do in light of how very light I managed to make the greaves and gauntlets I'm currently engrossed in another project to avoid the resin for a while
Thank you I'm so sorry! I have been really distracted by my other Bioware projects (what can I say, I love me some rpg and space alienz)
I have been working on stabilising and making my molds all pretty. So My Shae Vizla helmet mold has had more silicone layered as well as a new fibreglass jacket.
The cunning plan is that the new keys with a slight undercut will lock the jacket in place. If this layer is not enough I'll mix up a paste and work it in and under.
Lol! those are not tentacles those are molds for my Maleficent horns
Also since my last post I have my full set of RD16A gear in SWTOR. So Shae but in pastel. It really works. Especially on Belsavis where there there is lost of pink lighting anyway.

I have the shame! My costume has been featured on TDH and TheRPF in the last few years and I have been very lazy in updating!
However I do have an update!
Shae now appears in game so there is now a single true "how she looks" set look and boy howdy is it different!!!!!! I'm going to have to redo everything from scratch, except the helmet.. though that needs arepaint thanks to the new colour scheme (very orangey).
So this is a bit of a placeholder, I've got myself a whole bunch of foam for templating- still not totally sure what material to use for the final gear but there will be a mix of rigid and firm materials because well... they really went to town making a game model really detailed. And it also fits incredibly close compared to the various other representations.
My merc just happens to have the same body type as Shae so I am very lucky I can use the set for references. Ignore the belt, and the hair.
Just as a quick comparison. I am currently editing All The Photos and All The Screencaps today so I can stay out of the sun. Should be able to get some good comparable shots. What I wouldn't give for a full scale model, but the preview pane to check out gear is pretty decent when you play with UI scale
I'll be doing some line art of the bodysuit first, and working out how the heck to shape it, but it may be like my Samara bodysuit and will just have to be fitted well in the pre-detail stage.
I loved Shae's armor in the new SWTOR expansion, but I still think your original look is absolutely amazing! I'm very impressed. Very well done!
WHAT?! this is great.

Artful Wedding
Pssst…It starts with a cool and classy location!
by HCTG Director of Creative Content Jolene Rae Harrington
IMAGINE SAYING "I DO" beneath a stunning Chihuly glass chandelier…posing for photos with a classic Jaguar convertible…savoring champagne and caviar surrounded by avant-garde sculpture or 3,000-year-old Chinese ceramics… Any of these out-of-the-ordinary scenarios can become your reality if you wed at one of the Bay Area's acclaimed art galleries or museums. No longer the sole province of school field trips, tourists, or snobby scenesters, galleries and museums have found a fresh calling as novel places to throw a party.
It's a safe bet you've already had a crash course in "the 4 Cs" of diamonds. (Did we catch you gazing at the lovely sparkler on your left hand? Thought so!) Since we consider museums and galleries location "diamonds," we've summed up their advantages with our own version of "the 4 Cs": Class, Culture, Conversation-friendly, and Cool.
Most brides envision their wedding as elegant with at least a dash of chic. Museums, often known for striking architecture and upscale décor, are works of art in themselves; as for galleries, they're notoriously sleek and stylish whether dressed to the nines or left California casual. No matter what level of formality you desire, these venues automatically say "class."
It's natural to want an event site that conveys a worldliness and appreciation of the finer things in life. This is the Bay Area, after all, where we value social awareness and personal expression almost as much as our award-winning wineries. Nothing illustrates your cultural savvy like staging your bash alongside Matisse oil paintings or a giant black & white photographic mural.
You'd also like your guests to mingle. But instead of encouraging them with home movies, karaoke or disposable cameras on the tables, wouldn't it be awesome if the setting itself provided built-in conversational icebreakers? Galleries and museums are custom-made for this. Without any effort on your part, friends and family meeting for the first time will have something to talk about besides Aunt Harriet's fifth trip to the martini bar.
Let's face it: everything from your shoes to your wedding cake speaks volumes about your sense of style. If illustrating your ahead-of-the-curve sensibilities is a priority, then select a venue that demonstrates your genius for ferreting out all things cool—and a reception at a hip gallery or art museum is a sure-fire way to raise your trendsetter-quotient.
Galleries and museums offer a rich combination of our 4 Cs in one dynamic setting. Like a beautifully cut diamond, they glitter with promise—in this case, of a celebration that's innovative, elegant and fun.
Read on for a guided tour of ten of our favorite artsy locations:
Asian Art Museum
San Francisco
Celebrate amid the exotic lure of the Orient at the Asian Art Museum, a historic Beaux-Arts structure that rivals the works within for artistic appeal. The Lobby's opulent Grand Staircase, with three flights of travertine marble steps, is an irresistible spot for a ceremony. Guests look on from the nearby Loggia, an airy arcade with a decorative barrel-vaulted ceiling and glass cases of Asian ceramics. In the museum's galleries, a world-class collection from the Far East beckons guests to explore. Receptions come alive in the palatial ambiance of Samsung Hall, featuring enormous glassed-in arches crisscrossed with intricate metalwork. If you prefer the clean lines of a contemporary milieu, the museum's thoroughly modern North and South Courts oblige, with angular skylit ceilings that rise nearly three stories high. No matter where you stage your fête, you'll be surrounded by so much beauty and style that little else is needed for a dazzling affair.
Blackhawk Museum
America's romance with the automobile has defined our culture since the beginning of the 20th century; perhaps nowhere else are the auto's aesthetics so gorgeously celebrated than at the Blackhawk Museum, a striking glass, granite and stainless steel facility that showcases "the Art of the Car" in sumptuous surroundings. This "Auto Louvre" has a distinguished collection of vintage one-of-a-kind vehicles and rare classics, including cars once owned by Hollywood stars. Stage your reception in one of Blackhawk's galleries or on its mezzanines or terraces, and watch your guests admire the stunning silhouettes of antique luxury sedans…the graceful curve of a fender…the gleam of polished chrome and shiny brass trim. Blackhawk goes one step further in vehicular appreciation by devoting an entire gallery to cars depicted in fine art. Whether you're an auto enthusiast, an aficionado of Americana, or just looking for a unique venue, the Blackhawk Museum makes a scintillating showroom for any high-powered event.
de Young Museum
San Francisco
Designed by award-winning architects, the new incarnation of the de Young Museum opened in 2005 to enthusiastic acclaim. Light seems to dance off the soaring building's textured copper façade, an awe-inspiring first impression that prepares you for the world-class collections inside. A myriad of spectacular event spaces provide an immersive art experience. Expansive Wilsey Court enjoys high ceilings, a brick floor and a giant black & white photographic mural. Another option is the Piazzoni Murals Room, where historic Italian landscape paintings surround your celebration like gorgeous wallpaper. Dramatic cocktail receptions are held at the top of Hamon Tower, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame a view of Golden Gate Park against a glorious bay and city panorama. Even outdoor events have cultural flair: tent-friendly Osher Terrace overlooks the scenic sculpture garden. Any gathering within the de Young's rich, stimulating environment takes on an extra dimension.
Los Altos History Museum
Los Altos
Set among acres of parks and gardens, the Los Altos History Museum delights both the eye and spirit. A red-bricked courtyard is tucked between the folksy, wood-framed museum building and the quaint façade of the landmark History House next door. A redwood pergola at one end of the courtyard is a lovely spot for a garden ceremony. When it's reception time, the tall glass doors of the museum's gallery slide right open to admit guests. Here, blond wood floors and visiting artworks (including collections from notable institutions like the Smithsonian) lend an air of distinction. The Museum's upper floors house interactive displays, artifacts and vintage clothing from Los Altos' early days. For additional entertainment, arrange a guided tour of the neighboring History House, which replicates in amazing detail the homespun lifestyle of a 1930s farm family. A gracious window to a genteel past, this museum is an inspired place to begin your future.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco
A stunning monument to the City's cultural mastery, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has been hailed for its cutting-edge Modernist architecture. It's also a boldly sophisticated setting for lavish affairs, particularly the spacious Atrium. Black-and-gray marble floors and columns form an engaging contrast to honey-colored birch walls, and a skylit roof showers the guests with a natural glow. Brides look ultra-glamorous poised on the open spiral staircase that winds its way up five floors to an aerial bridge. In the adjoining Schwab Room, dreamy specialty illumination gives receptions a romantic patina. Take your gala to the next level—literally—by reserving one of SFMOMA's upper galleries. The traditional social hour takes on an exciting originality when guests circulate among the vibrant brushstrokes of Pollock, the provocative interpretations of Duchamp, or Kahlo's searing imagery. Both versatile and remarkable, SFMOMA helps make your celebration as unforgettable as the surroundings.
San Jose Museum of Art
San Jose
Holding court on a palm tree-shaded plaza, the San Jose Museum of Art is a study in stylistic contrasts—the Historic Wing, constructed in 1892 from golden, rough-hewn sandstone, is a paragon of Beaux-Arts design; the modern New Wing houses the museum's soaring Lobby, also known as party central at SJMA. Hung with scintillating glass chandeliers by famed artist Dale Chihuly that set the marble floors agleam, this open, airy space also boasts a second-story balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking an outdoor sculpture court. Solid oak floors and gracefully arched windows lend grandeur to gatherings held in the Historic Wing. Docent-lead art tours are insurance against ho-hum social hours. In fact, your entire event conveys a certain daring, thanks to high-caliber contemporary displays including modern masterworks and 3-D digital installations.
Terra Gallery & Event Venue
San Francisco
Gifted with more than its share of urban chic, Terra Gallery & Event Venue epitomizes the synergy of modern art and high tech. This expansive, loft-style event space-cum-gallery on two levels has sliding drapes that delineate adjoining, yet distinct, areas for maximum party flow. For instance, say "I do" in front of 40-foot floor-to-ceiling windows that capture a dynamic cityscape; then invite guests into the Gallery to dine among the paintings and sculpture on exhibit. Tech is big here, and with customizable lighting and multimedia capabilities you can project oversized photos of the newlyweds on the white-washed brick walls, while guests dance atop burnished hardwood floors to music playing on Terra's state-of-the-art Bose sound system. Both levels possess a sophisticated yet minimalist aesthetic, encouraging you to unleash your decorative fantasies. Whether you opt for elegant or eclectic, this versatile venue and its creative staff can turn your party into a work of art.
Triton Museum of Art
Santa Clara
Designed with special events in mind, the Triton's high ceilings, immaculate angular white walls, and terrazzo floors make a superb backdrop not only for fine art, but for swank receptions, too. Outdoors, redwood-studded meadows accented with all types of statuary make plein air wedding ceremonies a delight; but the party really gets into gear inside the museum proper. The coolly elegant Rotunda has marble floors and sinuous floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the seven-acre Sculpture Garden. The galleries feature polished blond hardwood floors, advanced lighting, and pyramidal skylights that make your gathering sparkle amid contemporary exhibits. One recent success was an installation of Younhee Park's luminous sky paintings—large celestial landscapes on billowing, draped canvases suspended overhead. A permanent display in the Warburton Gallery invites guests to wine and dine while appreciating the modern Native American art and historical artifacts. Triton is dynamic, evocative, different…just the way you envision your celebration!

Glendale, Ariz. • No NFL rookie since 1960 and no Rams rookie ever accomplished what cornerback Janoris Jenkins did on Sunday.
The second-round draft pick with off-the-field issues through his college career returned two interceptions for touchdowns and St. Louis dominated the second half to hand the Arizona Cardinals their seventh loss in a row, 31-17 on Sunday.
Arizona rookie Ryan Lindley was intercepted four times in his first NFL start.
Jenkins' returns of 36 and 39 yards emphatically ended the Rams' streak of five straight games without an opponent turnover. The talented defender had slipped to the second round for the Rams after he was booted from the Florida team following a pair of marijuana-related incidents and finished his career at North Alabama.
All that was just history on this big day.
Sam Bradford had a pair of 37-yard touchdown passes to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens for the Rams (4-6-1), who snapped a five-game winless streak and beat Arizona (4-7) for the second time this season.
The Rams' Steven Jackson rushed for 139 yards in 24 carries.
St. Louis outscored Arizona 17-0 in the second half.
Lindley, a sixth-round draft pick out of San Diego State and the third quarterback to start for Arizona this season, completed 31 of 52 for 312 yards and no touchdowns. Beanie Wells, back after missing seven games with a turf toe injury, had TD runs of 1 and 12 yards for the Cardinals.
Arizona led 17-14 at the half on Jay Feely's 32-yard field goal as the second quarter ended.
The third quarter, though, belonged to the Rams.
With St. Louis pinned at its 8-yard line, Jackson ran 46 yards, doubling his previous longest gain of the season. Two plays later, Givens beat rookie Justin Bethel down the left sideline for a 37-yard scoring reception to give the Rams their first lead, 21-17, with 9:58 left in the quarter.
The Rams threatened to extend the lead when Lindley threw right into the hands of linebacker Harvey Dahl, who returned it 38 yards to the Arizona 12. But after a holding penalty, Greg Zuerlein's 35-yard field goal try was wide left.
The Cardinals weren't so fortunate on Lindley's next bad pass. The rookie had Larry Fitzgerald open but underthrew him by 10 yards. Jenkins caught it and in a play almost identical to his earlier TD, raced down the right sideline for the score that made it 28-17.
Arizona scored with a long, time-consuming drive on its first possession.
With Lindley throwing short passes over the middle, the Cardinals went 91 yards in 15 plays on their first possession, using up 8:55 of the first quarter. He was 7 of 8 for 80 yards on the drive, which stayed alive thanks to a late hit penalty against St. Louis safety Quintin Mikell.
On the first play of the second quarter, Jenkins read Lindley's throw, stepped in front of intended receiver LaRod Stephens-Howling, intercepted the pass and ran untouched 36 yards to the end zone to tie it at 7-7.
Danny Amondola, who played despite a foot injury that prevented him from practicing all week, made a diving grab of Bradford's 38-yard pass to the Arizona 19 on St. Louis' next possession and two runs by Jackson put the ball on the Arizona 7. But Patrick Peterson picked off Bradford's pass over the middle in the end zone to end the threat.
Lindley's 25-yard pass to Rob Housler and Andre Roberts' 13-yard run set up Wells' 12-yard scoring run that put Arizona back on top 14-7.
The Rams tied it 14-all when Bradford threw over the middle to the wide open tight end Kendricks, who rumbled into the end zone on a 37-yard scoring play with 1:53 left in the half.

Nashua superintendent criticized for 'backdoor deal' with mayor
Before the budget meeting, Conrad said he met with mayor Donnalee Lozeau, who will present the district's budget to the Board of Alderman Tuesday night, and informed her that recent enrollment information was cause for concern.To ensure the class sizes remain manageable, Conrad said Lozeau recommended the district add $90,000 to the operational budget for the two positions Conrad wanted and then she would remove $100,000 from the deferred maintenance portion of the budget."This way the tax rate doesn't go up. Moving the money this way is actually a very good idea of the mayor's," said Robert Hallowell, board president.
Conrad said the impetus of adding the two positions to the budget was a recent evaluation of student enrollment numbers in the elementary schools. The numbers created concern among district principals about class size, Conrad said, resulting in the need for the additional teachers.While the additional money was added and Hallowell called the Mayor's solution to increase the operating budget without increasing the tax rate elegant, some members were unhappy with how the money was added at the last minute."This doesn't seem right after we spent weeks coming up with the budget, and in the end the mayor ends up doing it," board member Dennis Ryder said.
Hallowell took umbrage with Ryder's statement and defended the budget adjustment."I take exception to that," Hallowell said. "(The mayor) suggested this to solve this problem in a more efficient way. There are other solutions, but they are much less elegant than this. We can wait for the surplus, but this way you don't have to rush to do something at the end of the year," Hallowell said.Hallowell told the board that Lozeau agreed to reduce the deferred maintenance account line item from $300,000 to $200,000 if the board wanted to increase the operating budget by $90,000 to offset the cost. Hallowell added that Lozeau said that any funds from the current district budget surplus above $600,000 could be used to bring funding of the maintenance account back to $300,000.While the school district has a roughly $97 million dollar operating budget, the actual budget for the next school year is much closer to $139 million. Previously, Conrad said that while the district's operational budget includes things like teacher salary, the city is responsible for determining a large portion of the district's budget as it relates to things like insurance costs. Hallowell said the maintenance account falls under the purview of the city and is the responsibility of the city to manage.

Living Up To Brand Expectations
Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress this week, two weeks after his sexting scandal broke.
Until the scandal emerged, Weiner had a reputation as a passionate and hard-driving member of Congress. He was known for his powerful stance on health care and other social issues, as well as anti-terrorism steps. After voting to support the war in Iraq, Weiner gained a reputation for honesty when he later admitted that it was a mistake.
A few years earlier, President Bill Clinton was treated to oral sex in the Oval Office nine times from a 22 year-old intern and held on to the highest approval ratings of any president since World War II.
How can one person be brought down by sending inappropriate photos of himself, and another survive a sex scandal unlike any the political world had ever seen?
I think it has a lot to do with expectations.
Maybe we sort of expected that kind of behavior from notorious womanizer Bill Clinton. As wild as the allegations against him were, we weren't all that surprised. Weiner, on the other hand, was a newlywed with friends like Jon Stewart and a reputation for taking a strong stand on what is right and wrong. Maybe we expected more?
For example, Willie Nelson has been repeatedly arrested for marijuana possession. Nobody notices. If that happened to Taylor Swift, it could be a serious problem for her career.
Ozzy Osbourne bites the head off a bat, and it only enhances his reptuation. If Justin Beiber does it, the effect won't be quite the same.
KFC can introduce the Double Down sandwich, and business goes up. If Chipotle creates a sandwich like that, they lose customers instantly.
When people expect something from your brand, you'd better live up to it.
Because when expectations aren't met, bad things happen. Customers leave. Congressmen resign.
Do you really know what your customers expect from you?
Do you have the balls to live up to those expectations?
And the tougher question…
Do you have the balls to say no to opportunities that are temptingly profitable in the short term but damaging to your brand in the long-term?

"This tastes incredibly good. I add a little lemon zest which ups the flavor. I have taken this many times to gatherings and everyone always raves about them. There are never any left. When going somewhere, I will take the filling in a resealable plastic bag and just cut off the edge and squirt on the cookie and then add the fruit. That way you don't have to worry about keeping a tray in the refrigerator at someone's house, just a bag to keep cold. Blueberries are also good with this recipe."

I had a bow tech make a custom string for me to atempt to correct my problem since Hoyt no longer carries the cams I need to fix it properly. I need M2 whole cam, a 5 module,53" string,and two 34.5 cables. Or I would be interested in a complete Hoyt Enticer with a 26" draw

"I ordered several copies of my son during him first week & was able to put his full name at the bottom. It looks so sweet! They were gifts for the grandparents & our home & everyone just loves them! I wish they were available with more phrases or that was customizable as well. Absolutely just love them!"
"I ordered a 12 x 12 mounted print of my son's birth announcement. I wasn't sure what to expect. The quality of everything I ever received from Tiny Prints has been awesome. This went above my expectations. Thank you for creating such a wonderful memorial piece for my son."
"Love the quality of the canvas print, wish it is wall mount really. I need to buy separate supply before I can hang on the wall. Also, wish there was other color options for he announcement section beside the baby blue."
"The print quality is fantastic, and the design is wonderful. The wood mounted frame is sorta cheesy though. I had never purchased one before, but it was cheaper so I thought I'd give it a try. I think the Canvas printed version would have been much nicer. In hind sight I should have sprung for that version. Over all I'm very happy with the final product though. Shipping was fast and arrived just fine."
"I knew I loved the product because of past orders BUT Nikie actually called me to extend her sympathy for the recent death of our dog. I had sent a collage of photos with his name and the dates. She offered to make a change to improve the placement of text but wanted to send a complimentary proof. Her sensitivity and professional manner made me an even more loyal customer and I applaud her and your company for putting a heart and soul into the business world. Photos are the link for all of us to create connections that keep us going and her voice on the phone did that for my family."

Never miss another 'Sarah Millican' show
Home Bird UK Tour: Sarah Millican
After two gigantic sell out tours, Sarah Millican returns with her new show, Home Bird, for a host of tour dates for 2013/14.
The British Comedy Award's Queen of Comedy is giving up the party scene (Ann Summers), easing off on the drinking (fizzy pop equals wealthy dentists) and is settling down (taking her bra off). Determined to put down some roots, she now has a cat (furry baby) and even a tree (she has a lot of mugs).
On this, her third national tour, you will learn what to take on a dirty weekend, the easiest way to blend in in posh restaurants and how to teach a pensioner to swear.
Join her for some hilarious domestic bliss.

The newbie to the fourm gots a question
A few years back before TDH existed I got a DP Fett bucket and tried to fix it up. I failed horribly.
I tried a few times to paint it and never looked right to me and the visor never came out good.
Its sat on one of my shelfs for about 6 months now and I feel motivated to try to fix it and try to get a good one. Now heres the problem. The thing is so warped I tried to just force it back and the paint cracked opps. Getting a ne helmets not really an option at this point either.
So heres the problems it has any ideas on how to fix them are appreciated.
1-major warpage in the visor area it kinda looks like a wince at this point.
2- ear pieces need redone I used Testors aluminum and copper and they got a weird speckled look to them
3-visor no source of the popular welding masks around last time i tried testors spray on tint and liked it but the visor crakced in 2 (Not the tints fault)
4- IF it can get unwarp how to keep it that way.
Thanks in advance

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Arbor A-Frame
It has been my dream board since I saw it on Arbor web-site. I finally rode it yesterday.
It wasn't a typical powder day...quite a few powder hounds in line for the first chair. I was nervous riding my brand new Arbor while in line....
Once on top I was a bit intimidated by the new setup, mostly worried about the new board, a bit longer and advanced that my trusty "Ride Control 155" I manage to scratch my base over a small rock almost immediaterly out of the lift, on the wind battered top of Chair 6.."there you go" first scratch done...good to go.
The board feels WAY lighter than my old one. let's see how it performs...Conditions were 3 feet of powder, 12F, sunny. (First day of the season)
The first thing I notice is how the board easies you into a turn, must be the beautiful sidecut that initiates the turn just when you want it to and keeps it, until you push out with your back foot, never turning out of your carve (A thing I noticed on my brother's Ride Prophecy last winter, where the board would keep turning like on a rail, on its own) stable yet very quick from edge to edge, the board rides like a dream. Serpentine is very fast, hig speed carving is powerful and dramatic, flat runs are fast and stable, never had the feeling I had to worry yabout my edges...
Its a great powder board, with the original set back. VERY surfy if you go even further back. Responsive, floaty and with a great accelleration.
It felt obviously light years ahead of my previous stick. So much easier to ride , faster, more precise. No feeling at all to "catch an edge", the board does what you want, until you respect her. I found myself riding tired at the end of the day, a bit too casually maybe, you can't do that on a board like this, like a motorbike or a sport car, it demands attention and direction, otherwise you will find yourself face down on the snow.
On slashed pow the board went really well...cutting trough bumps and absorbing most of the terrain features easily, later in the day, with just 12deg the snow hardened up as soon as the shade hit the mountain side. Very good edge control and direction, the board falls down the most logic line and keeps it until you input a new direction. Very docile yet very decise once pointed down. Very good "pop" if I am using the term right....coming out of turns the boards propels you back up, after your compression and if that happens to be over a bump, it will "pop" you up in the middle of a turn, to land and grab the snowpack a second later...keeping the same line...depending on your legs stamina.
I didn't notice particular speed improvement over my old one, I was expacting it to just slid off from under my feet and speed up, it didn't happen, but I have the feeling that she needed a new wax job over the original one she got when I bought the board in August. i left the wax on until 3 days ago to protect the base, but it's ok, yesterday I weasn't looking for speed...yet.
Carving will take a different meaning for me on this board, especially with the stiff boots I got too. It looks fantastic and feels as easy to drive as say an "Audi-S4" but at the same time it demands the same attention...and it will give you the same reward...
Carving with your body completely extended, (Opposed to a knee bent posture) flexing your ankles and using a lot of compression and extension before and after the turns was a great way to appreciate the elegance of how this board rides. I felt like I was exaggerating my compression and extensions, but that actually made for a very solid ride. You need to push on this board with decision, if you want some G's it's also a bit longer (158) than my 155, and I could feel that.
All in all a fantastic board.
Rode it one hole set setback, on one foot plus of wind blown powder...amazing. the A-Frame floats easily and feels like a really mellow forgiving ride, always ready to take your input but never unpredictable, little back leg fatigue and really fun to carve in less deep snow.
Later in the day the temp went up, and the snow got heavy, the board still floated or cut trough it with little change, besides speed. Always precise, and docile IF you are paying attention. A board to ride determined always, but that still hasn't given even a hint of edge catch, even at the end of the day under my wobbly legs. I feel I am improving and connecting with it more at every run.
Fantastic, fast, precise, and beautiful.
Update at day 19 of the season.
Mono-rail 6G carves are so much fun with this stick...it just stays there until you extend and dive in another turn. Unbelievably stable. Holds an edge with rage.
FAST. I have to check speed sometimes...the board keeps accellerating...Amazing base. Very fast...
Beautiful...When 2 people out of 3 feel the need to say something about your board at every chair....

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro
Rua Senador Dantas, 25, Rio de Janeiro
0.7 km from
Rp 653,333+
Location, breakfast, decor, hotel staff. The unusual arrangment of the rooms placed aound the outer edge on each floor with the centre section being completelty open from the top of the hotel to the bottom. This seems to channel noise upward through the open space.
My plan included breakfast. Breakfast was great because I could enjoy various kinds of cheese, ham, bread, and cakes. The room was traditional because of wooden floor and door. There was a bit poor feeling because of small bed, small and no flat TV, no bus tub, and poor bed cover. Wireless internet did not work well because of weak signal.
Free Wi-Fi internet. Clean and modern. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Nice located. Not far from subway station. Very good option for carnival and city trip for those who want not to overpay for copacobana
What I liked best was that the reception staff made every effort to help me, especially the one who spent a long time on the phone trying to help me locate my delayed luggage from the airport. He was friendly and polite and I appreciated his help a lot. The rooms and facilities were more than adequate for my needs, and the buffet breakfast choice was great. The price was excellent. I'd definitely stay there again. Not the hotel's fault, but Centro is not the greatest location in Rio; not the cleanest or most interesting part. Having said that, I felt safe, and saw good nightlife including locals Capoiera dancing in the square.
Clean room, clean and modern bathroom. Good location Internet is not working 100% of the time. My neighbor is very noisy after hours but I guess it is just that room, can't blame the hotel for this.
Friendly staff who are very helpful in organizing day trips or suggesting activities. Excellent breakfast.
hotel pep in the counter can speak english well the girls in the counter is not so resonsable
The staff was very cooperative with our demands. I cannot find any negative point from an objective point of view.
Staying in the center of the city was an excellent choice, and being near the subway and Theatre Municipal was handy. The neighborhood remains a bit gritty and caution is required in the evening, except at nearby cafes that spill out into the street.
Location is very convenient for the "centro" (downtown) area. Not too large hotel, so faster check-in and check-out. Good room size with comfortable working desk. Newly renovated, evrything very clean. Good restaurant with reasonable prices and fast room service. Only black spot is poor Internet service. The per-minute option gets disconnecting and is terribly slow. The per-day option is also very slow. Difficult to understand since they are charging for it. I purt a complaint on 2 previous stays, but it has not improved. They told me that they are planning to change provider around October....
Good service. Attention of the staff. Lack of parking
Staff prompt to serve and willing to help, also very knowledgeable about getting around the city by any mean of transportation. On requests, specify what you wish and they eill be sure you'll get what you order to the detail (off course upon availability).
service, comfort, location free internet
Staff very pleasant and spoke English well. Room very comfortable and clean with good air conditioning. Enjoyed rooftop pooldeck and views. Very convenient to metro station.
pillows were too thin
Very good location for city cultural visit (not beaches), excellent room, helpful staff and several spoke English, all at a good price. It was a much better deal via booking.com than direct booking or others and my credit card was not charged until departure. A wholly positive experience.
The hotel and rooms were very clean and modern. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would've liked some free drinking water (minibar was bit expensive). Elevator is noisy. Rooms are far from being sound-proof but there's not too much noise anyway. Rooms are also a bit small. Hotel taxi costed more than regular taxis.
the location, the services/facilities and the hotel staff
The breakfasts were very adequate with lots of fruit and pastries. The menu didn't change from day to day, but there was more than enough to choose from. We appreciated the free Wi-fi in the room and the computer in the main area. The room was clean, but the furniture was old and looked like it could use some renovation.Towels and linens were thin and there was no hair dryer or washcloths provided.

It varies by genetics, by sunshine, by wind or calmness of wind. I typically don't expect to see them flying unless it's 50 F. ...
I'm with T Beek, I see my bees flying at temps well below 50F, especially in the spring. Maybe our local bees are adapted to our local climates as T says?
Question for Finski: If I understand correctly, You've implied that in Finland syrup is fed to bees in the Fall and lasts until March/April. Doesn't it freeze solid? If not how do you kee
You must be describing syrup that was fed then put into cells by the bees, right? That would make sense.

We are looking at having a couple tables or a booth set aside for DHC members from here to get together and chat (in person) at the Waterfowl Hunters Party in August.
It should be an easy way for us to locate other members that we haven't met before as well as a good time to grab a burger or dog and shoot the breeze with your fellow DHC members. In recent years we have had 8 or so members in attendance. We hope to increase that number this year.

Stories from the University of Illinois Springfield
By Courtney Westlake
At this year's International Festival, Rick Lane noticed that during downtime, members of the Students of African Descent group and the Indian group began to dance together and enjoy each other's cultures. That is exactly the environment Lane is working to create, with help from many others on campus, as the director of the Office of International Student Services at UIS.
U.S. News & World Report gives UIS top rankings
U.S. News & World Report's 2009 Edition of America's Best Colleges ranks the University of Illinois at Springfield as the best public university– Master's category – in the state of Illinois and the fourth best public university in that category in the entire Midwest. The Master's category includes colleges and universities that provide a full range of undergraduate and master's programs but only a few, if any, doctoral programs.
International Festival focused on "Harvest Celebrations around the World"
The 31st Annual International Festival — "Harvest Celebrations around the World" – was 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, November 16. The event was free and open to the public. The festival featured cultural performances and exhibits, plus a variety of ethnic foods from local restaurants. All activities took place in the lower-levels of the PAC and Library.
