Hey everyone. out of curiosity, does anyone know of any pictures with the Albino Fett and other Pre Pro Fett pictures?
I looked at one on starwars.com. it wasn't enough though
I believe that there is an albino Fett in the 501st legion all ready.Quote:

I've got some, email me and I can send them to you.
Geo :albino
Hm, I like that one. How hard would it be to get that?
Yes there is one in the 501st, very cool thinking about building one myselfQuote:

Hey Infra PM sent.
Thanks, I'm working on a custom now though. I talked to the army surplus store manager and my suit SHOULD be there next week
Oh, and yeah that guy has a great hoth Mando too. it gives me ideas for more weathering
I'm accually quite far along now on the Mcquarrie prepro helmet. I've scapped the old build up like you see on Geo's pic and have totally rebuilt the whole helmet. I should be ready to post some pics with in the week.
Nice, I really look forward to that.Quote:
MARROW SUN said:
These are what i got for the albino fett
I haven't seen that one around. is that albino fett considered to be canon?
Ummm...what do you mean by it being "canon"?
George is next to it... it's a canon pre-pro I guess...
And these are pre pro in the real sense
I think the last one might not be cannon (anyone???)
The 3 pics you showed, the first two are the pre-pro2 suit, the most commonly known pre-pro suit, the 3rd pic is of the pre-pro1 suit also known as the eyes suit. I am one of the only known people to have a completed Pre-pro suit, (pre-pro2). As far as anyone in the 501st is concerned any of the known pre-pro suits would be considered cannon.
Just FYI there is a pre-pro3 suit also. Very few pics of that suit exist there are a few in the original Chronicles book.
Does the Albino Fett have a pre-pro designation? Man O War's recent "Hoth" fett which is very close to the Albino Fett just more weathered and with ROTJ gauntlets and belt, it was informally turned down for 501st recognition.
Good friend of mine bought the MOW Hoth Fett and it is sweet just not canon apparently. From a couple weeks ago -
I love the all-white fett... that rocks!
So what if this costume was turned down by the 501st . . it still looks totally awesome. A weathered white pre-pro is the look I'm going for with my bobamaker paintjob I think. Somehow a Fett helmet just doen't look the same without weathering lol.
Damn guys. I really like the Albino Fett ronin posted. I'm tempted to work on that one. a couple guys in the Southen Outpost told me Boba Fett is WAY OUT of my league and that I should just do a custom. I'm liking the albino Fett though, yet I would think it's just as hard as the movie versions, and this is a bit out of my way too, no?
Jango_Fett_Jr said:
Canon is something seen in movies, magazines/books, cards, or games.
in this case, they are pictures of Fett how he might have looked, so it counts for canon.
So, ... the informal responce to my Hoth/ Preproduction Stlye Fett was:
"It's the LMO's call of course, but because it was a work in progress, and not the final approved design used in the film, I would say that it wouldn't qualify for membership. Otherwise we'd have to accept every pre-production costume sketch of Vader, Stormtroopers and other characters to be consistent."
I have yet to formally submit it to the 501st, but there does seem to be another "white " Fett already official in the 501st bounty hunter members, ...don't know if he was grand fathered in? It really doesn't matter to me one way or the other as I already have a few "Canon" 501st costumes, and the sun doesn't rise and set in the 501st. I got the Hoth Fett costume from Man of War because, quite frankly, it kicks arse!!! And Man of War, (Christian) did a fantastic job, the quality it the highest I've seen, and I wanted to do a white pre-production Fett and knew I couldn't come close to competing with the work Christian did!! So, my white helmet off to Christian, you couldn't find a nicer guy to do business with, top notch Fett armor, IMHO.
Can anyone explain what they (George Lucas and team) wer doing with the JEtpack when it was shooting out all that steam
AND, was this going to be Boba Fett, or just another mando?
One of the guys who gives membership told me that they accept pre pro/Albino Fetts. I don't know for sure, yet I guess each outpost/garrison is different. Some will accept pre pros and some won't
As for the jet pack steam, I guess they were testing it and making it look like it was going to blast off and fly

Adams Checks In
Featured News | 3rd April 2012
Andre Adams is hoping a repeat performance of his form last season will help Nottinghamshire to a County Championship crown this year.
The Kiwi all-rounder was the third highest wicket-taker in the Championship in 2011, accounting for 67 batsmen at a terrific average of 22.61.
His exceptional swing and seam bowling also saw him named best performing player in the Professional Cricketers' Association's FTI MVP rankings for the four day game, and to a tenth place finish overall.
And after also tasting success back home in Auckland this winter he is now more determined than ever to lift silverware.
"Obviously I was pleased with my performances last season and it was nice to know that I was the highest placed player in the FTI MVPs for the County Championship," said Adams, who reported for duty at Trent Bridge this morning.
"It will be tough to win the Championship as we did in 2010 as it is now a very competitive, but we're all very excited about the new signings we've made over the winter and are quietly confident about success.
"It's been a great winter for me back home and I'd like to think I can inject some of that winning mentality into the dressing room at Trent Bridge.
"It is a special award for any player as every facet of your game is judged against your fellow professionals. Topping the table when it is so competitive out there is a big achievement."
The FTI MVP Awards are a statistical benchmark used by the PCA to examine each aspect of a player's game in relation to his peers. Now in its sixth season, the ranking system rewards players for every run scored, every wicket taken and every catch held.
There are also bonuses awarded to players whose runs and wickets contribute to a win for the team, with captains earning points for their command of the side. Bowlers receive higher marks for among other things good economy rates, bowling maidens and for getting out higher order batsmen.
In addition, batting points are handed out for high run rates and the percentage of the team's runs each batsman contributes. Fielding points are awarded for catches, run outs and stumpings, with bonuses for five or more dismissals in an innings.
Adams finished on 415 points in the FTI MVP rankings for the LV= County Championship, 29 points clear of his nearest challenger David Masters of Essex.
His 67 wickets were just one short of equaling the number he took in 2010, when his performances played such a large part in bringing the championship crown to Trent Bridge.
Adams was also a key member of the Auckland Aces team that won the HRV T20 trophy in January this year, following a resounding victory over a Canterbury.

R Cortez
"Bandito"- an acrylic painting by noted Native American artist Cortez of New Mexico.
It measures about 12 x 9 inches
All reasonable offers considered.
Gallery price on this art is from $600 to $1,000.
Southwest Native American Art
Southwest Indian art is probably the most distinctive and certainly the best-known of Native American artistic traditions, both because the southwestern tribes were highly settled peoples for whom things like twelve-foot high looms were practical, and because most southwestern tribes have remained in or at least near their ancestral lands, suffering less interruption of their tribal traditions than the eastern tribes. Southwest Indian designs are instantly recognizable and have saturated the American mainstream, their characteristic geometric patterns visible everywhere from cowboy hats to Arizona's state flag; sanitized Kokopelli silhouettes festoon lawns in New Mexico the way gnomes in pointy hats do in Pennsylvania. But Southwestern Indian art forms have not only influenced the popular culture of the region at large, they also remain as thriving, unbroken artistic traditions of the native people who first created them. Arts and crafts Southwest Indian artists are best known for include the kachina dolls of the Hopi and sandpaintings of the Navajo; beautiful pottery, particularly by Pueblo Indian artists; woven blankets and rugs, particularly by the Navajos; and many different styles of fine basketry and jewelry, particularly in silver and turquoise.
Artist's Statement
Just as the planets turn in rhythm, art is the expression of life. Art is powerful and fills our lives with beauty and expression. Art is my calling! I focus on the power of color and form relationships in my work. I like my images to feel bold and alive, and I do this through the expression of feeling colors that create exciting and vibrant statements. I love to create deep emotion, feeling and atmosphere in all my paintings. Thank you for your interest in my work!
Cortez was born in Roswell, New Mexico in 1951 and has been a noted artist all of his life. His work is mostly representative of abstract form in terms of color, rendering and composition. His work is noted for his natural portrayal of Native American and Southwestern genres.
Antiques and Toys as Investments
Toy collecting and antiques no longer child's play!
Antiques and collectables are a valuable hedge to inflation in today's unstable markets.
Toy and antique collecting is a relatively recent phenomena in the United States. It started to get organized in the mid-60's with the formation of numerous collecting societies including The Antique Toy Collectors of America, The Mechanical Bank Collectors of America, and The American Train Collectors Association. The American Game Collectors Association followed in 1985.
By the mid-eighties toy and antique prices started going through the roof and prices realized at landmark toy sales, both in the USA and around the world, continued to escalate, culminating in the astonishing and unexpected results of the now famous Perelman Toy Museum sale in 1988. At this exclusive, special invitation event thirty-six of the top toy buying elite competed over a collection of 5,000 toys; which in less than twenty-four hours yielded more than $5m.
Fortunately, perhaps, for more humble collectors this spectacular result proved to be a watershed. The recession that started the 90's appeared to temper unbridled enthusiasm and prices have leveled off. Even so, toy collecting has become one of the top five collectibles in the USA and the explosion in the market has been nothing short of remarkable.
Collecting toys and antiques for investment is an excellent hedge against inflation. As with all antiques, toy prices can be volatile and it is possible to inflate and deflate on the same day. A toy or antique can vary in price depending on the dealer, the buyer, the geographical area in which it is being sold, and even whether or not it is being offered in the anticipatory rush at the opening of a antique or toy sale or in the last desultory minutes before packing up and closing down. All that aside, Toys and antiques steadily keep going up in value.

By Chris Harris
Kieran Gibbs has praised Arsenal's character after another battling Champions League victory on Wednesday night.
Arsène Wenger's side followed up last month's hard-fought 2-1 win at Montpellier by digging deep to beat Olympiacos at Emirates Stadium thanks to goals from Gervinho, Lukas Podolski and Aaron Ramsey.
The Greek champions made life difficult after scoring a first-half equaliser but Arsenal are top of Group B with maximum points - and Gibbs knows that's all that matters.
"You have to win like that sometimes," he said. "No game in the Champions League is easy. We showed a good test of character because it's difficult when it's a draw and you're pushing for the win, but we managed to do that.
"Our extra quality in the squad came through in the end, and we managed to get another good win in the Champions League.
"It's all about [getting over the line] - getting the win. We know our qualities. We showed tonight and in the first game that we have the qualities to beat these teams and I think we've done that again.
"We had stages in both games where we were on the back foot. It's just a matter of soaking up that pressure. In the end, we had individual quality that made the difference.
"It was important to bounce back after a defeat [against Chelsea] at home. It was important for the players especially. We wanted to shake off a few doubts in our mind that we had. We certainly did that and we're back on the front foot now. This is what we have to keep doing and keep pushing on from here."
Gibbs put in another solid 90 minutes at left back and, as has regularly been the case this season, got forward to good effect behind Lukas Podolski.
"To be honest, I just play the game how I think it should be played," said Gibbs. "I help the midfielders and attackers whenever I can.
"I think it [getting forward] gives us an edge, plus the fact that we have such technical midfielders and have players that can keep the ball really well. It allows me and Carl to push on and almost play a risky game, like any attacking team does. It's working well for us so hopefully we can keep it going."
"Lukas is a fantastic worker and he's a great player as well," added Gibbs. "He's a joy to work with. The fact that he works so hard inspires me to work hard as well. He brings that to the team. He's a very important player for us and he's producing goals, he's defending well, he's attacking well. It's a pleasure to work with him."

Green Bay Opens Spring Season Against South Dakota State
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's tennis team (0-1) got its 2014 spring season underway on Saturday morning, falling 7-0 to visiting South Dakota State (1-0) at Western Racquet and Fitness Club.
The Jackrabbits took all three doubles contests before sweeping the six singles matches in the opening match of the season for both teams.
"I'm proud of the way our team fought and how we came out strong right away in doubles," first-year head coach Sommer May said. "Unfortunately we didn't have what it took to pull out any wins today against SDSU. Today's match was a good eye-opener for what everyone individually needs to work on. Overall, we need to reduce the amount of unforced errors, find ways to be more consistent and finish points at the net."
Sophomore Stephanie Londre (Burlington, Wis.) and freshman Claudia Negron (Lima, Peru) played tough for the Phoenix at the top, as the two first teamed up for a hard-fought, 6-3 defeat against SDSU's Jenny Blackburne and Ffion Davies at No. 1 doubles.
Londre then battled against the Jackrabbits' Florencua Magni at No. 1 singles, but Magni prevailed 6-2, 6-3. Negron and Davies squared off in the No. 2 singles contest, with Davies taking home a 6-1, 6-3 result.
SDSU won the No. 3-No. 6 singles matches 6-0, 6-0.
The Phoenix women return to action at Western Racquet next Friday, hosting Cardinal Stritch at 7 p.m.

text: Locals urged to use grants to help students Did you know that every MTA preK-12 local is eligible to receive $1,000 or more each school year to help students succeed? It's true. Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, the Massachusetts Child will provide grants to preK-12 locals to cover the costs of a wide range of items and services, including school supplies, educational field trips, medical supplies, clothing and much more. The MTA charity provides grants of up to $1,000 to locals with 500 or fewer members. Locals with more than 500 members are eligible to receive $2 per member. "I'm constantly amazed by the generosity of my teaching colleagues, who give so much to their students," said Christine Mulroney, president of The Massachusetts Child, which was founded in 1996. "By taking advantage of a grant from The Mass Child, your local association can help even more students and reimburse educators who open up their wallets for 'their' kids." In an effort to assist a greater number of students, Mass Child's board opted to increase the amount available to MTA locals from to $1,000 per school year for smaller locals and increased the sum available to large locals to $2 per member. "Please make this the year that your local takes advantage of the funds available through the Mass Child grant program," Mulroney said. "Despite our best efforts, our locals don't always take advantage of the financial assistance we offer them." Those who receive the grants find them invaluable. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Because of the MTA's kindness, I was able to purchase two complete toolkits and belts for students," said Sue Gierej, a teacher at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School and longtime participant in the Mass Child program. Educators use the money in many different ways. In recent years, grant money was awarded to reimburse MTA local associations that purchased everything from educational field trips to winter coats and toiletries for students. The Mass Child does not reimburse for food or for gift cards. To participate in the program, MTA preK-12 local association leaders must first purchase items and/or services for students, then submit the receipts to the board of The Massachusetts Child. The board meets several times during the school year to review requests so local associations are not left carrying a big bill for too long. For more information, contact Massachusetts Child President Christine Mulroney by calling 508.846.4257 or e-mailing email@example.com. Fact sheets and reimbursement forms for The Massachusetts Child grant program are available on the MTA website at www.massteacher.org/masschild.


text: I am English but live in France and have just been employed by the National Education department to help with my local schools English classes - they are convinced that a native english speaking person will obviously bring their levels of English to a better standard which I think is great. I am employed to assist the class teacher for all the classes between 4 and 10 years old. I am finding this job extremely rewarding and love working with the children, however I am finding it difficult to find interesting material for the younger pupils of 4 and 5 years old years old - their english class is at the end of the day (16.00 until 16.20), its only 20 minutes each class but I cant seem to find songs or nursery rhymes that are simple enough..... I need something very repeatative, as these children dont even realise that another language but french exists so its difficult enough for them without giving them lots and lots of words..... I have already done little rhymes like round and round the garden, which they thought was great as it involves contact as well - but I am now running out of simple songs or rhymes to do with them - I teach from 4 years old up to 10 years old and its my first year - I am not a trained teacher and have been employed as an assitant to the class teacher - however, I am mainly left to do my own thing. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i would still check around for vacuum leaks, also try spraying a bit of carb cleaner (i use starting fluid, only because I have alot of it) over the carb to see if it idles up, it would explain a lean condition, what's the smoke smell like?
|It's probably nothing, Sounds pretty normal to me. I had some engines smoke for day's after the initial run in. It's gotta be paint or a misadjusted carb or just hand prints burning off the hedders and things of the like. Break it in well and fiddle with the tuning and drive a day, then worry about smoke.
prepping and starting a new 350 crate motor
whatup everyone.
i just put a new 350 stock motor into my 65 c-10 stepside, along with swapping the Powerglide for a used turbo 350 tranny (and new brand new driveline). got a little problem.
i've got it started up and gassed it a few times, but i haven't done the 20 min cam break-in yet. for a few days prior to today, i had a problem aligning the distributor and wires correctly, where the engine would backfire and just be pissed off in general right after i started it. so i didn't want to try to full-throttle it just to keep it alive so the cam could break in. the motor just didn't wanna stay alive.
i put in a spacer between the starter and the block because it the gears didn't retract back into the starter after every start. i thought if it was misaligned w/ the flexplate, the starter gear might stay stuck against it (as it was), and not letting the engine run by having too much friction against the starter. after i put in the spacer, the starter retracted everytime. but the carb still backfired a whole lot and engine was still pretty pissed off.
however i found my distributor was also misaligned, then i found TDC and reset the wires and timing (without a timing gun, just by eyeballing the installation of the distributor cap) and now the engine seems to run much better. as of a few minutes ago, i got running for about 10 seconds to where if i kept on the gas a little, around 2000-2500 rpm (estimate), it sounded pretty good. however there is a **slight** lump in the exhaust note. nothing that sounds like a nightmare, just a tiny blip in the exhaust howl. i'm not sure if this normal for a stock 350 cam lope or what. maybe just me being paranoid about getting to sound too perfect.
the main problem a BUNCH of smoke comes up and out from the right below the stock headers, right where it connects into the two single pipes that go back to the exhaust cans (2.25" Flowmasters, single pipes). the carb didn't seem to backfire during the last startup.
is this a normal thing to happen? is the exhaust gaskets just burning off a little dirt? or is this not good? the engine came out of the crate painted black, is this just the paint burning thru the exhaust as it settles? maybe the timing is off?
the tranny fluid is filled over the FULL MARK somewhat... because of this, could the manifold vacuum be sucking extra tranny fluid thru the carb & intake to the chambers then thru the headers causing the smoke? i don't see fluid getting puked from the tranny disstick onto the headers on the outside....
here's the setup:
--new stock 350 engine
--used 350 tranny
--new driveline
--new edelbrock air-gap rpm intake
--new edelbrock 750 performer carb (1.5 turns out on idle circuits)
--new stock fuel pump
--new summit racing water pump
--new summit racing aluminum radiator
--new summit tranny cooler
--new accel hei distributor
--new summit racing coil
--new Champion truck plugs and Bosch wires
thanks for any advice you guys can give, <<65truck>>

Featured Health Topic: Men's Health
For both men and women growing older can be a time of change–perhaps shifting family responsibilities, retirement, or a career change leads to some time for taking a class, volunteering, traveling, or starting a new hobby. Men can proactively take care of their health as they age with annual physicals and screenings, a well-balanced diet, exercise, and keeping up-to-date with flu shots and vaccinations.
The National Institute on Aging at NIH has a wide variety of useful, evidence-based resources. You can also find out more information about participating in clinical studies.

Arsène Wenger acknowledges that Tuesday night's Capital One Cup win over Reading was 'irrational' and has praised the mentality of his players for battling back to win the game.
Arsenal rallied superbly after going 4-0 down after just 37 minutes at the Madejski Stadium, eventually winning 7-5 after extra time.
Wenger was delighted with the resilience shown by his side, and says mental strength was the key to the comeback.
"It was an irrational game with a good end for us so you like it, and then it's easier to cope with it, the irrationality, than when you lose," he said.
"As you could see in the cup games [this week], they were typical cup games, and what was very positive was that we kept going until the end and have shown some good mental resources.
"Some players still have heavy legs but hopefully they will have recovered by Saturday. We play Tuesday again so I will consider the global situation - some players will be available maybe more for Tuesday than Saturday."

My first Fett is coming along pretty good. Just a checklist of what i have so far
-BobaMaker flightsuit and Flak Jacket
-Ebay armor
-Wookie Braids
-TK409 ROTJ Cape
-TK409 Belt pouches
-TK409 Spats
-CA Boots Fett Boots
-Ruffkintoy Gauntlets
Im wainting on (in the mail)
-Rimshot ROTJ Ammo belt
-Girth Belt
-Pre-pro styled gloves (not movie accurate, but they are SOO COOL!)
Some pictures of what i have together so far:
Gauntlets right after i had finished painting them, not velcroed yet, and no tubes attached.
BobaMaker flak jacket hanging in my room, its got the wookie braids, the cape, and the chest / shoulder armor on it. Notice there is no chest logo yet...i removed it during my many repaints of the armor, i have another one in teh mail to replace it.
BobaMaker jumpsuit, with my own custom height extension in the chest area, the green insert it twice sewn by hand, and 3 times by machine at EACH of the seams...so its strong as anything!
The TK409 belt pouches, i did a little light weathering, though its hard to tell with the lighting.
Left gauntlet, im going to repaint the tip of the missle gold like it should be, right now its kind of just rusted silver because i had no paint to do it correctly when i assebled it.
Right gauntlet with the hoses coming together. Notice that the attachments aren't completely movie accurate, i bought these little length's of hose with those attachments already hooked on...so i decided just to use them. Im stil ltrying to figure out hwo to make the second side mount on the gauntlet.
Not pictured are my knee and groin armor, just because i didn't feel like taking more pictures of them.
Im still not too happy with the chest armor paintjob. Im on i think my 3rd repaint of it, and i think its getting BETTER...but its still not where i want it to be. It truely is an art!
I'll update once i get my boots and stuff from UPS today, with some more pics to see how it all fits on me!

Arsène Wenger expects his future to be sorted out "very soon".
The Frenchman is about to start his 14th full season in charge of Arsenal. He is the Club's long-serving and most successful manager.
However his current contract runs out next summer and, unsurprisingly, a new deal was among the topics discussed at Wenger's first pre-match press conference of the campaign on Sunday.
Ahead of the Liverpool game, the manager confirmed he had been offered a new deal but rejected suggestions he would only sign up if the team showed their full potential at the start of the campaign.
"My situation will be sorted out very soon," he said. "But my commitment to the Club has nothing do with how well the season will go. That would be unfair.
"I have to show how much I believe in this team by showing my commitment. If I do not do well and one day the Club is not happy with me then I can completely understand that I will not be here anymore.
"But my commitment has not to be linked like that – and anyway I believe we will do well this season."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

ATVs granted highway access in time to save North Country festival this weekend
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader | July 22. 2013 6:35PM
Monday's announcement coincides with this weekend's Jericho ATV Festival. For years, town officials have opened local roads to ATV use, especially for an event such as the Jericho festival.
"Allowing off-road vehicles to travel on state highways will help make New Hampshire's unparalleled ATV-riding experiences an even greater success," Hassan said in prepared remarks.
Christopher Gamache, chief of the state Bureau of Trails, said legislation was enacted about a year ago to allow permits for ATV use on state highways. He said both the state Department of Transportation and State Police must sign off on the permits; the DOT does not want ATVs on any stretch of highway where the speed limit exceeds 40 mph.
"Riding on the highway is going to be a new experience for OHRV users, and riders and motorists need to be aware of one another," Gamache said. He said it will be important for the ATV users to pay attention to signs.
Altogether, about 17 1/2 miles of highways will be open to off-road vehicle use, complementing between 800 and 1,000 miles of ATV trails, he said.
The Trails Bureau website — nhtrails.org — is expected to be updated with the road routes early next week.

LAKELAND, FL (June 26, 2012) – As evident with Tropical Storm Debby, Florida's summer storms are upon us and we have already experienced a number of named storms early in the hurricane season. Lakeland Electric works very hard at providing reliable power to our customers and the utility takes great pride in restoration efforts during storm season. We all hope for a mild hurricane season but we need to be prepared for the possibility of several storms. Lakeland Electric acts in the event of an emergency and we urge our customers to do the same.
Lakeland Electric publishes a Hurricane Guide that has very useful information that helps customers prepare before, during and after a storm. The publication is available at the Lakeland Public Libraries and other City facilities such as City Hall, Simpson Park, Kelly Recreation Complex and Gandy Pool. The publication can also be downloaded from the Lakeland Electric homepage (lakelandelectric.com) or the City's website (lakelandgov.net) by clicking on the Hurricane Guide highlight button on the home page.
The Hurricane Guide provides extensive information in preparing for a storm but here are five essential hurricane season tips to help Lakeland Electric customers during this year's storm season.
1. Following a power outage, unplug all large appliances and electronics to prevent power surges that may occur when electricity is restored. These surges can often damage equipment and create fire hazards.
2. Remember the "three don'ts" when using generators: DON'T run a generator in the house; DON'T run a generator in the garage; and, DON'T plug the generator directly into your home's main electrical system. The first two can lead to asphyxiation and the third can send an electrical charge back into the power grid, posing an electrocution hazard to utility workers. DO run the generator outside in a well-ventilated area and DO plug individual appliances directly into the generator.
3. Clear your patio and yard of lawn furniture, toys, potted plants, and other debris that could blow around in high winds and cause damage or injury.
4. Prior to the storm, identify the places around your home where you can shut off your gas, water and electricity. In an emergency, you'll want to be able to turn them off quickly.
5. Create a hurricane survival kit that includes: first aid supplies, water, batteries, flashlights, battery powered radio, manual can opener, prescriptions, pet food, canned foods, cash, bleach, trash bags, charcoal or gas grill with plenty of fuel, wooden kitchen matches, a portable cooler and tarps with ropes. Don't forget a hardwire phone because cordless phones will not work during a power outage.
Lakeland Electric is the third largest public power utility in the State of Florida. The utility is also one of the first utilities established in Florida having started operation in 1889. Today, power is generated at Lakeland Electric's two primary base load plant sites, the 785-megawatt McIntosh Power Plants and the 93-megawatt Larsen Power Plant. For additional storm season tips or to view a 2012 Hurricane Guide please visit www.lakelandelectric.com.
The Lakeland City Commission in a specially called Commission Meeting voted to increase the fuel charge for Lakeland Electric customers $3.70 per 1,000 kWh effective for meters read on or after July 2, 2012. The new fuel charge will be $42.30 per 1,000 kWh. Starting July 2nd Lakeland Electric residential customers will pay $101.72 for 1,000 kWh of electricity.
After listening to a staff presentation at the specially called City Commission meeting, staff recommended an increase to the current fuel charge based on an upcoming project that will hinder Lakeland Electric from purchasing power from the Florida Municipal Power Pool (FMPP). The 30 year old main feed that connects Lakeland Electric with Orlando Utilities will be replaced causing Lakeland Electric to generate the base load from natural gas and coal. Current natural gas prices are very favorable but coal costs and the inability to participate in the FMPP are the cause for the fuel rate increase.
RESIDENTIAL RATES BASED ON 1,000 kWh
Current New Rates – Effective July 2, 2012
Base Rate $59.42 $ 59.42
Fuel Charge $38.60 $ 42.30
Based on Florida Municipal Electric Association data, Lakeland Electric's residential rates after the July 2nd fuel increase will be the second lowest in the state for residential customers as well as the second lowest in Florida for all of the commercial rate classes.
Lakeland Electric bills are broken out for customer convenience in detail to show the base charge, fuel charge and appropriate taxes and service charges. The fuel charge on a utility bill is exactly that, the actual costs for fuel used to generate the amount of electricity used within your residence. Most utilities subscribe to the same billing practice and break out the base rate and the fuel charge for their customers. There is no mark-up in fuel. In fact, fuel is a straight pass-through to customers.

Born: June 30, 1995
Position: Midfielder
Classy and creative midfielder Kristoffer was hampered last season by an injury but is expected to be a fixture in this year's NextGen Series.
The Sweden youth international had impressed in the first half of the campaign with a string of fine displays in central midfield, with his passing and vision catching the eye.
The technically-gifted teenager joined Arsenal last summer from IFK Norrkopings after impressing on trial and was a regular fixture in Sweden's Under-16s last season when fit.
Kristoffer signed his first professional contract in summer 2012 and impressed at the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup in pre-season.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

After all the processes of checking in the new merch, trying on, quality testing, photographing and putting up on the website we all have a pretty good idea just how amazing the new gear is and are extremely excited to share it with you. That is why we keep the newest stuff right at the top of the page so it is easy for you to see what is new and hot of the sewing machine. At least once a week, usually more frequently than that, we will update this section by adding a new brand or new style from an old favorite to our collection and moving those new items to the top of the page.
Updated Monthly! Want to know a little bit more about the new brands we've added? Read this section for a deeper look into the newest yoga brands added monthly. Every month we will mention a few of the newest brands added to the Evolve "vault" so you know who to look for. We will let you know what they are best known for and worn for as well as their best-selling styles. We also highlight one of the new brands every month in the section below by going in depth into the fit, function and fashion represented by that brand, a little bit about their history and founders as well as what we personally like to wear them for. Check out the sections below to find out this month's new brands as well as our highlighted brand of the month!
New Brands! We have been adding so many new brands lately we're going to have to back up a little bit to some brands we added earlier this fall. The brands we'd like to mention today are Gold Sheep Clothing, Karma Athletics, Puppies Make Me Happy, Waffle Haus and Blogilates Design. Let's take these one at a time, they are all so different! First and foremost we were so excited to add Goldsheep Clothing. We are highlighting Goldsheep this month in our special brand highlight below so scroll down to read more about this rad new brand to Evolve.
Karma Athletics is a Canadian based brand offering a more luxurious, red carpet style of workout wear. These luxe looks are perfect for wearing to workout and for the rest of the day, they look too good to take off.
Puppies Make Me Happy is pretty much exactly what you would think that might be. These are super soft tees with hilarious images of puppies working out, practicing yoga and being their silly adorable selves. It's basically your favorite Google image search on a t-shirt.
Waffle Haus is possibly our favorite graphic tee brand; their amazingly soft tees, tanks and pullovers come in the most flattering shapes and cuts and seem to speak our language. Check them out for a rad tee you'll never want to take off and that looks perfect with all of your printed yoga leggings.
Last but most certainly not least we were so stoked to hear that one of our all time favorite people ever, fitness expert Cassie Ho, was making her own Blogilates Designs yoga mats. As soon as they came available we grabbed a whole bunch of these drop-dead gorgeous yoga mats. I mean, seriously, only Cassie could make yoga mats this bright, fun and beautiful. As if we needed another reason to hop onto our mat every day. Check out each of these brands to see their amazing new styles and click over to their brand page to learn more.
Brand Highlight of the Month: Goldsheep Clothing. This brand has been killing it for a while now with their mix of flirty and quirky fitness leggings made in Orange County, California. These leggings are stretchy, feature a comfortable second skin fit with a slightly thicker fabric and feature designs that will blow your mind. We were so stoked to start working with their amazing owner and designer Keri Wilson and partner with them to produce a couple Portland inspired prints to launch at the same time. Check out the Portland Bridges Legging and the PDX Carpet Legging to see these awesome collabs. With supportive fabric, lots of stretch and a nice quick dry we love wearing our Goldsheep leggings for just about anything from hot yoga to running.
Hot New Styles to Look for: The style we would like to highlight this month is the Alo Yoga Moto Legging. Motorcycle inspired pants, jackets and leggings are one of the hottest trends this fall and Alo's take on the Moto is the BEST we have seen. Sleek pin-tuck detailing, their amazingly supportive fabric, a leg-lengthening fit combined with peeks of see-through mesh and glossy fabric? What more could your legs ever ask for? We are all dying over this legging and so are celebrities everywhere. Not only does it look amazing for any activity it also features Alo's performance fabric so you can take into the gym or onto the mat as well.
How to Find the Perfect Size: Since we carry a wide selection of different brands each piece will fit differently from the next. We recommend using the individual size charts located on each product page when choosing your size. If you still have questions please feel free to call or chat with us for styling advice. We are more than happy to pull it off the shelve, measure and try on to help you find your perfect fit.

Mascot Contest - natethomas - 2011-04-30 08:33
Team XBMC is interested in finding a mascot for XBMC. To that end, we have decided to have a competition in which you, the user, can submit drawings for what you think an ideal mascot would be.
Can you make the XBMC Mascot?
The winner will receive a Nyxboard Hybrid Remote and an OpenELEC HTPC with XBMC pre-installed from Pulse-Eight, along with an XBMC t-shirt. If you'd like, one of the Team members can sign the computer, the t-shirt, or random other items, like shipping boxes and small, furry animals. And if you'd like your winnings to have any resale value at all, you can ask us politely to refrain from signing them.
Second place will receive a Nyxboard Hybrid Remote from Pulse-Eight and an XBMC t-shirt.
Third place will receive an XBMC t-shirt.
Everyone else will receive an imaginary high five!
Artists…, start your engines.
Some simple contest rules:
1. Once you're done, upload your design to your favourite photosharing site of choice and post the link to this forum thread. You can enter multiple times if you like. We recommend flickr as a photosharing site for their excellent copyright options.
2. Ideally you'd use vector graphics to allow your mascot to scale, but it's not essential. Keep any preview images to something less than 600px or so.
3. You have until Friday, June 3rd at 12PM, Central Standard Time to submit. If there are not enough entries by then we may have to extend the contest; also, if nothing is found suitable, then the mascot may not be adopted by the team – prizes will be granted either way. The winner will be announced on Monday, June 13th.
4. You're designing a mascot for XBMC, so if you are selected as the winner, you'll need to transfer the ownership/copyright of the design and image(s) to the XBMC foundation. Obviously you'll still get full credit for your creation.
5. We're looking for original designs – please don't submit something that isn't your own work – make sure you have the right to all the artwork used in your design.
Finally, good luck, we are excited to see your submissions!
- pike - 2011-05-02 23:26
open for posts!
- htpc guy - 2011-05-03 01:17
Are you looking for the XBMC logo to be included in with the mascot?
I am looking forward to this. You can definitely count on at least one submission from me (if not more).
- jmarshall - 2011-05-03 01:24
The logo doesn't have to be incorporated, no. It can be incorporated if you want to though - up to you!
- h.udo - 2011-05-03 02:20
Great idea!
Good luck to all the artists. Unfortunately, it's not my area of expertise.
- paul - 2011-05-03 04:23
Will this mascot replace the existing logo, shame my graphics skills are not up to the job otherwise i would have won easily

My attempt. I thought something kinda cute would be good, to try and attract more 'mainstream' attention, so I went with 'XBMC Bear'. My reasoning was that Android is recognised by the Google Android design, so having something similar would be beneficial.

I like this idea. Not sure if I like the color. Seems a little too cute to me also. I do, however, think you're on the right track.
I say you should submit a few more designs.
- joebrady - 2011-05-03 18:50
I like Pike's bear.
Panda Bear Logo - bignab - 2011-05-03 18:52
Here's minimal black and white mascot/logo with the XBMC on it. The second is just a variation of the first.
http:[email protected]/5684282698/in/photostream/
http:[email protected]/5683716831/in/photostream/
I was thinking Panda Bear just cause how laid back they are. Its how I feel when I sitting back watching my XBMC with my remote. It would make a nice plushie too. I can build up on it if you have any suggestions.

The Arsenal Ladies success story might be very different without Vic Akers.
That's the view of Katie Chapman, whose goal set up yet another FA Cup triumph for the Gunners on Monday. The midfielder struck after 32 minutes before a stoppage-time goal from Kim Little sealed a 2-1 victory over Sunderland at Pride Park.
Arsenal's record in the FA Cup is exemplary. They have made 10 Final appearances and won them all, including each of the last four years. And Akers has been in charge every step of the way.
The manager pulled on his Cup Final suit for the last time on Monday as he prepares to relinquish his role after 22 years at the helm. Akers has won 31 major trophies during that time and will add one final pot if Arsenal beat Everton in next weekend's title decider.
As far as Chapman is concerned, the 62-year-old deserves every plaudit he gets.
"Vic's been there throughout and he has made Arsenal Football Club what it is," she said.
"He has brought in fantastic players, players have come and gone, but it has always been a great Club. I think he's been an inspiration for the Club and the players here. I am very pleased he brought me here because I have loved every minute of it.
"It was very important for me to score in the Final. We had already missed a lot of chances and it was a case of just getting that first goal just so we could relax a bit more and try and play. It was nice and a bit of relief really.
"I think we were hoping to score more goals but they made it hard for us. Sunderland are a great side, young and enthusiastic. They made it hard and we were very sloppy in our passing and we didn't play a great game. Perhaps we would have done on another day.
"We have lost some of our internationals and that has been hard but the girls have got together and we've rebuilt.
"We want success as much as we ever did, that hasn't changed. We just need to go out there and work a bit harder. We have worked hard and the team spirit is massive for us. The togetherness of Arsenal Football Club is a massive thing for us when we go out and play."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I have been there a year ago. I went to Nagoya, Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Miyajima. It was amazing trip for me.
I saw lots of temples, gardens, parks. I also went to museums. All places were amazing. Especially Tokyo Ghibli Museum and Kyoto Tezuka's museum. It's important to saw these museums because I love their animations and manga s.
Actually I'm trying to come again. So that I'm trying to learn japanese, and seaching japanese culture.
It's too enjoyful to discover new things about their culture.

Hapa Izakaya at 1479 Robson Street
When Hapa Izakaya opened in 2003 at Robson Street, it was one of the first establishments to introduce original Japanese dishes in an izakaya atmosphere to Vancouver. Today, their Robson location is three times as large as it used to be in 2003, and branch restaurants are also found in Vancouver's trendy Kitsilano and Yaletown districts.
Shrimp and Avocado Salad
Hapa Izakaya stands out with its minimalist exterior (like a Gion teahouse, barely recognizable as a restaurant) and stylish interior, as well as its original dishes, whose style have inspired a lot of newer izakaya style restaurants in Vancouver over the years.
Tsukune Skewers
Hapa Izakaya fascinated me back in 2003 with never before experienced dishes such as saba (mackerel) seared at the table. Maybe our choices today were not the luckies, but we felt that the originality of Hapa's dishes has dwindled a little bit since 2003 (or other restaurants have caught up to it and raised our expectations). Nevertheless, we enjoyed our dinner there a lot.
Bintoro Tataki
We started off with Bintoro Tataki, a beautifully simple dish of seared tuna sashimi on an excellent vinaigrette sauce. Many of the other dishes were good but not outstanding, including the Shrimp and Avocado Salad and the Monsa Roll. Another highlight of the night was Kakuni, slow simmered pork, which was served in an original way with nikuman style steamed buns.
Kakuni with steamed buns
Monsa Roll
For a long time, Japanese cuisine in Vancouver was virtually limited to sushi and a few other standard dishes such as tempura. While sushi restaurants are still by far most numerous today, various other restaurant types have tried to introduce their dishes to Vancouver over recent years. Some have struggled, such as okonomiyaki, curry and Japanese pasta restaurants, but others have enjoyed great success, such as izakaya and ramen restaurants.
Daikon Salad
Today we visited Zakkushi, the pioneering restaurant to introduce Vancouver to kushiyaki, skewered foods grilled over charcoal. Zakkushi opened in summer 2004 at 823 Denman Street and has opened two more locations since then in Kitsilano and at Main Street.
Aspara Maki (Asparagus wrapped with pork)
I failed twice to dine at Zakkushi before, because the restaurant's popularity makes it difficult to get in without reservations. But today we finally enjoyed our first dining experience there. As soon as the charcoal smell of my first yakitori skewer entered my nose, I understood the restaurant's unbroken popularity: Zakkushi can easily compete with good kushiyaki restaurants in Japan. Their yakitori are excellent!
Tsukune (chicken meat balls)
Zakkushi features mostly conventional dishes, centered around the typical range of yakitori (grilled chicken on skewers), including tsukune (meat ball), momo (thigh), liver, heart and gizzard. The menu is complemented with a variety of appetizers and tapas style dishes and a sophisticated selection of alcoholic drinks. It is one of Vancouver's few Japanese restaurants that does without sushi on its menu.
Cheese mochi maki (rice cakes wrapped by pork and topped with cheese)

I don't have the SR40 but do have an SR9. I got it about 7 months ago..my very first handgun. I probably have close to 1000 rounds through it. I have not had one single failure to feed, fire, or eject. I have fired mostly Federal 115g FMJ at the range and various different hollow points including +p and +p+. Everything has cycled fine. The SR's do have a reversible backstrap. I went to the gun shop intent on buying a Sig P250, but the guy showed me the Ruger. I'm glad he did. Made in America also.

My name is Brian and I am looking forward to meeting my TEFL Mentor. I will be a volunteer teacher to adult Malagasy custodians and security guards here. There will be three class sessons per week. Madagascar is in the time zone GMT + 3 . If you live in Chicago, that makes you eight hours ago. I have very little experience as a teacher of English, though I have an old fashioned work ethic derived from years working in the food service industry. Preparation in that line of work has always been a key to success(though putting spices and foods together effectively also helped). My objective is to get positive feedback (in English) from the students and perhaps their employers as the students aquire the English language. I love people and language and am getting to know Malagasy and French while here. I expect to be here for three years at least. I am going through this websight and its forums with a fine tooth comb, been getting feedback from an ESL teacher back home and have been gathering copious how-to notes from e-how online. I need your personal expertise and guidance! Wish me luck!
Thank you for concidering my request.

Some Fairy Fun
Magical event attracts hundreds of fairies, pirates and parents
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Sunday News | July 06. 2013 8:16PM
Two fairy princesses confer in Cate Park during the Wolfeboro Area Children's Center's Fairy Land Festival held Saturday in Cate Park. From left to right, Rowan Kantzer, 3, with Mackenzie Doran, 11. Doran was one of the dancers from the Expressions Dance Academy who performed during this fund raising event. (LARISSA MULKERN)
More than 400 adults and children turned out for the festival, a fundraising event to benefit the Wolfeboro Area Children's Center (WACC). It was expected to yield more than $4,000 to support the nonprofit center. The center offers affordable early care and education to children from 6 weeks through 5 years old. The school-age program for ages 6 through 12 meets mornings and afternoons during the school year and all day through school vacations and summer. WACC Director Susan Whiting said this year's festival garnered support from area businesses that offered free treats to festival-goers. Others donated a portion of proceeds from sales to the center.
"The Fairy Land Festival was such a big hit last year, we thought we'd do it again. We raised $4,000 last year and hope to do better this year," said Whiting.
"We love fairies," said Allie Fitzgerald, mother of 2-year-old Neva and 5-year-old Eila, of Rochester. The family spent part of the past week building a fairy house with items from their garden, including seedlings of sunflowers planted in halves of eggshells. "This brings out their creative side and imagination," said Fitzgerald.
Romney said Soleil has a "ton" of male cousins who they left back at the vacation house to enjoy the more delicate experience of Fairy Land.
Other highlights of the festival included an appearance by author Tracy Kane, who has written a series of children's and photo books on fairy houses, performances by dancers from Expressions Dance Academy, fairy house making workshops, a scavenger hunt and a fairy house contest and raffle.

Lemmy is God
Well the wright-up makes a good point, i will also not wear this shirt while checking out any Carpathian artwork.
For the people that 1. do not get that it is a Ghostbusters reference, and 2. not know what the Motorhead logo looks like, makes me feel really old.
bluejester wrote:I think I feel a combination sadness/we've failed this generation when I see people genuinely asking, "What is this referencing."

I am. Seriously: HOW in the WORLD can someone not recognize Motörhead and Ghostbusters here?? Epic fail for us not having passed on our cultural believes to the following generation!! *shocked* :O
...and I'm not even thirty yet myself, but anyone listening to Hard Rock or Metal who DOESN'T recognize the Motörhead-Logo makes me wonder whether the 80s even happened at all or whether my childhood was just a dream I seem to have had...! :D :O
Cheers! ^^
Not just sadness - I literally get angry when I see people asking what this is referencing.
Just to help out...
This is the basis for the image. It's a logo for the metal band (and fathers of thrash metal) Motorhead.
Oh man, I love those guys. I saw them play in Sumeria once.
That was... 6000 years ago. Wow, I feel old.

I thought everyone would get this right away, but now looking at all the comments, I am really starting to feel old.
In for 1 to cure my sadness.
Imposter wrote:Who is that hanging on the left side?
That's Gozer the Gozerian, the Destructor. She is a moldy Sumerian, not Babylonian, God who appears in Central Park West and starts tearing up the city. Of course, the boys in gray put some overtime in on this one and end up saving the world.
Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the audience, I don't think it's fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody. I was trapped in an elevator for two hours and I had to make the whole time. But I don't blame them. Because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you.
If you didn't understand the reference, give it a few years. I'm sure someone is trying to remake this movie.
I would prefer Clorthohead.
Wow, I feel extremely Jatravartid, because while I've seen Ghostbusters like 10 times (and probably more times that I barely even remember as a kid), I did not get the second half of this reference.
BUT my boyfriend loves this movie, and loves to make fun of Lemmy, soooo I'm gonna go ahead and get it.
And get matchy matchy shirts for the both of us.
Man I feel so Sirius GPP.
Edit: Oh woot, I like what you did to change the word l a m e and s t u p i d. ;)
I miss Ghostbusters cereal, that was the best. Like haunted Lucky Charms.
Aim for the flattop!
Craigmar wrote:Ever see a little movie called "Ghostbusters"? Ever hear of a band called Motorhead? This is a mashup and a very clever one at that.
I'm also scared by the lack of people instantly getting both references. The movie is inexcusable as it is inescapable on tv (I'm making the assumption internet consumers are well familiar with the magic of paid television).
Motorhead I can see missing I guess, but understanding is not the same as forgiving.
my god it's full of stars.
just got one
Brilliant write-up! I laughed when I read "Everything Gozer Than Everyone Else," but I literally chortled, I tell you, when I got to the line "Are You The Kilmister?" Many, many kudos! In for one! No sleep 'til Sumeria!
Anyone that didn't immediately get both references on this shirt needs to seriously rethink how they are living their life. You've got No Class.
Not the first time these two have crossed paths!
Egon Vs. Lemmy!
This shirt is so cool, I'd be willing pay $11 for it.
Cool! fixed my crummy link!
Question about sizing:
I know the girls sizing runs pretty small.
Do the men's sizes run small, too?
I want to buy this as a gift and I don't want to ask the recipient all sorts of questions about his chest width. It would ruin the surprise.
He usually wears a large. Occasionally a medium.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I think it depends on the person, really. Their strengths are only their strengths if you're the type of person that works for. For instance, I love Sasha with all my heart and would have a hard time ever getting a different breed now that I've had her; my cousin has a lab that he feels the same way about. Both are fabulous dogs, in their own right, with much to give, but both of us would never want the other's breed. When he sees her intelligence he sees a dog that challenges its owner at every turn, and to a degree he's not wrong; Sasha is crazy smart and part of that means she's not robotic. She's vocal which for me is amusing because she's vocal at the appropriate times kind of like giving a human response, but he finds this trait of hers to be annoying. She picks up on words almost as easily as she drinks water, a trait which makes her easy to train, but this can be a nuisance when she learns words that you don't mean her to learn and then you have an excited dog whenever you are trying to talk. For instance, if I say, "I'm gonna go to the store to get some cheese" Sasha is going to go nuts because she knows the words go and cheese. I never taught her those words on purpose, she just picked up on them, and those are just two small examples. You think, "I'll outsmart them; I'll spell words." but then the pick up on the spelled words. They're athletic, which is great because you have a dog that can do anything and everything with you. It also means that if you slack it's noticeable in their behavior because they need a physical outlet. For me that's great because it helps to keep me active. For some, that would be annoying because they like more down time.
The list goes on and on, but the common theme is: you should get a German Shepherd if everything that makes them what they are is compatible with who you are.
When you ask "why shouldn't I get a GSD," then you may be almost ready to own one
If you don't know why you should get one, then don't!

|Thanks Atticus is one of my all time favorite fictional characters. It seems to fit him well!

|I love the name Atticus. From my all-time favorite movie, the name itself draws respect.
|Over twenty years ago when I went to a breeder to pick out my very first ( since then I have had four) GSD , I was truly impressed with the intelligence and responsiveness of this dog even at the age of only eight weeks old. We had also looked at Golden Retriever puppies. They were adorable but very goofy I have had other breeds which I truly loved but none of these dogs seemed as eager to "get to work" as the Shepherds. They are also very affectionate but not with everyone. I like the fact that my Shepherd doesn't insist on attention from strangers. One sniff, then he is done. There is no jumping on or poking the person as a means of insisting on being petted. I appreciate this, particularly after having an incredibly sweet female Samoyed who would pee on and whine at everyone she met out of pure excitement. Although there are times of frustration, I love the training that happens with a Shepherd. Lots of eye contact and focus. I take Atticus to work with me daily. At less than one year old, he takes his job seriously and has excellent manners at the bank and other businesses that we might enter. He is truly a joy!
I got my first two, and Kids simply because I adore the breed.
I'm getting my next because I feel prepared to own two GSDs, want to get into a sport, and would like to do conformation. I also believe Koda is ready for a sibling.
They are the most intelligent, easily trained, loyal dog there ever was.
That, coming from someone who has never had another breed of dog, so take it for what it's worth.
I've seen some pretty, how shall I say this, stupid dogs. Unfortunately for the dog, the owner was even worse.
