'Big kid' loves teaching kids to play tennis
Rockport — Noah Capetta did not play tennis until he was a sophomore in high school, but he has been making up for lost time ever since.
Capetta, a tennis pro at Midcoast Recreation Center (MRC), received the Maine Tennis Association's Junior Player Development Award Jan. 24 for his work with young people. At the same event, MRC Director of Tennis and Sports Programming Seth Meyer was recognized as Tournament Director of the Year and the facility was named Indoor Club of the Year.
Capetta grew up in Hermon and loved baseball as a youth. After he was introduced to tennis, "I just sort of played obsessively," he said. In his twenties, he worked at indoor tennis clubs in Portland and Bangor as a desk clerk so he could play tennis for free during the winter, and taught privately in the summer.
As a desk clerk, he enjoyed watching tennis players of all ages and abilities and got interested in teaching. He found he had a natural ability as a teacher and coach, and did some high school coaching.
Now he teaches children from 4 years old up through high school, and also works with adults. Inspired by his 2-year-old daughter, Ella, Capetta is working on a tennis curriculum for toddlers. Racquets for the youngest players have a close-to-normal-size head with a very short grip, and the players hit balloons.
"It doesn't look much like tennis," he said, but helps to teach young children balance and coordination.
MRC breaks up its youth tennis classes by age: 4 to 6, 6 to 10, middle school and high school. Capetta is also on the board of the Maine Tennis Association, where he serves on a sub-committee for junior tennis, and he is the lead coordinator for a United States Tennis Association Junior Team Tennis League for players from 12 to 18 years old.
He said tennis offers many benefits to youngsters, beyond a healthy workout. The game teaches focus, sportsmanship, respect for oneself and others, and poise under pressure, he said. He works with his players to help them handle the emotions that come up during play.
"In competition, the best and the worst come out of you."
He stressed that while seeing players improve is rewarding, he is not out to develop the next Rafael Nadal or Serena Williams.
"I like working with every individual," he said.
What he values most is his relationships with students, Capetta said. One of his young players is talented but has trouble concentrating. At Christmastime, the boy and his mother came to see Capetta at MRC and the youth told his mom, "I saved up $100, and I really wanted to buy Noah a tennis racquet for Christmas."
The relationships continue even after students leave the area. Capetta told of one former student who came back to visit and introduced his girlfriend to "my mentor."
Capetta and his wife, Kathleen Fleury, who is the editor in chief at Downeast Magazine, live in Camden.
He said one thing that helps him relate well to younger players is that "I'm a big kid, really."

Overview | Blog Posts | Discussions | People |
In this apparent world none of us ever wants to be deluded by illness. And it is plain irony that as and when we lose our wellness, it is only in that very state of apathy and discomfort that we comprehend the merits of good health. And all of us would believe that even an ailment as plain as common cold is adequate to create distress virtually at all levels of our being. But how often have we have contemplated as to why we tend to fall lose our wellness? Seven modes of disease Ayurveda, which is in itself the complete science of living the life, has established seven basic reasons as to why we get ill. Hereditary Ailments like diabetes are believed to traverse through parental genes, which may cause an individual to suffer with the ailment more by far. Congenital Some ailments like dwarfism are assumed to be concurred due to improper care of the pregnant mother and the child in her womb. Self imposed factors These are the most common aspects that influence commencing of a disease. This counts for most of the lifestyle related maladies like hypertension, obesity etc. Over or improper diet and nutrition intake is one of the prime contributors in this category of acquiring disease. Psychological influence Most of the mental ailments like depression, anxiety, antagonism et all find their roots in the mind. Traumatic Physical as well as mental trauma may result into making of bodily ailments like fractures, wounds; or mental anguish like grief, fear etc. Seasonal factor All the six seasons viz spring, summers, rainy season; autumn, early winters and extreme winters, all have definite influence on the health of an individual. And there are some discreet norms to be followed during the seasonal transitions. When these are averted, an ailment might erupt. Natural mode The ailments that result from natural aging come in this category. Three universal means Although Ayurveda has categorized the contributory factors of making of a disease in these seven modes, yet our ancient text has all the more authentically reasoned three universal grounds indispensable for development of a disease. Discrepancy of the five senses First is when there is more, less or improper correlation of the five senses with their respective subjects. For example, we take the example of the sense of hearing. In case, the sound that we hear is very loud like listening to very loud music or on the other hand it is rather inaudible like stressing the ears on someone's whispering. In both these instances, in case these actions are prolonged over time, the sense of hearing is definitely going to be affected. Moreover, any sort of improper earshot like listening to thunder or intolerably rugged noise is another reason for development of hearing affliction. Similar would be the apathy of the other four senses of touch, taste, sight and smell. Improper utility of tongue, body and mind The second equally vital explanation is the immoral deployment of self in the terms of bodily physique, mental power and verbal influence. In easy words, the tongue, body and mind when put to inappropriate use, may result into laying grounds of the disease. In these entire three arenas, problem arises when either these are overworked, under worked or incorrectly worked. Seasonal disparity The third element of universal inequity that signifies loss of wellness is the seasonal disparity. This comes to us as natural stigma when there is either excess or dearth of seasonal favours. Or there may be erroneous overture of the season. For example, let us understand the pretext of losing of health due to the rainy season. This would be in case, either it rains too heavily throughout the spell, or the rainfall is rather inadequate. Or in another case, disease would emerge when although there should be moderate showers in the rainy season, but it simply does not rain therein and on the contrary, it downpours in some other season. The immoral conduct Ayurveda, being the holistic discipline of livelihood incorporates the right means that need to be followed religiously, so as to stay clear of disease in not only physical and psychological, but also spiritual grounds. If the teachings in the ancient text are followed per se, the chances of losing the assets of natural health would be negligible. Although a lot has been advocated as to be pursued, there are also some immoral behavioral aspects that we need to be cautioned about. According to Ayurveda Gurus, we need to try and avoid ten basic acts which only lead to distress in terms of losing wellness. 1. Brutal and violent conduct. http://www.goldivas.com/articles/article.aspx?id=208

Want a Hydrogen-Fueled Car? It'll Cost You Double
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In a presentation to the JPMorgan conference in New York Tuesday, Toyota's (TM) U.S. boss, Bob Carter, made an important disclosure regarding the price of fuel for its upcoming hydrogen fuel cell car.
The purpose of this article is to compare this cost to a gasoline car today.
Read More: Warren Buffett's Portfolio Proves He's a Dividend Growth Investor
The range of Toyota's first hydrogen fuel cell car, to be made available in Southern California starting in the middle of 2015, is 300 miles. Toyota says that it will initially cost $50 to fully fuel the car for its 300 mile capacity. Then, longer-term, it would cost $30.
By "longer-term" I understand from Toyota that it means at least five to 10 years into the future, perhaps longer. How does this compare to Toyota's own gasoline cars today? In my view, the most relevant comparable gasoline car is the Prius. Why? First of all, it fits five people instead of the four that Toyota's initial hydrogen fuel cell car will fit. Secondly, it has a large and very flexible luggage space, where the rear seat can be folded for superb usability. At this point we do not know if the hydrogen car's back seat can be folded. Some have argued that the more relevant object of comparison is the Camry hybrid. I disagree. The Camry is not really any bigger on the inside, and besides we are comparing it with a car that fits only four people -- not five. In terms of luggage space, the Camry hybrid is also compromised by the battery placement and is in any case not as well-shaped as the Prius, which is a practical hatchback. The Prius yields approximately 50 miles per gallon, which millions of Prius drivers have confirmed in real-world driving. Older versions of the Prius yielded more like 45 mpg. To travel 300 miles, it therefore takes six gallons in the Prius. The gasoline price today is approximately $4 per gallon. This means $24 in total. In other words, Toyota's hydrogen car is approximately half as cost-efficient as today's Prius today -- $50 for 300 miles, vs. $24. A decade or so into the future, it would be only 20% less cost-efficient, costing "only" $30. Read More: Here Is Where Kinder Morgan's Capital Would Do the Most Good Phrased differently, Toyota's hydrogen car has the cost efficiency of a 25-mpg car today, but with a falling hydrogen fuel price will be the equivalent of a 42-mpg car at some point in the distant future.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I'm having too much fun to possibly tell you all of it, and besides, I've only got about 24 more hours before I leave this lovely place, and there's still so much to do. The beach beckons, and I've only seen a little of the jungle, and there's Spanish grammar I haven't mangled yet. I've got knitting on the wharf to do, and little anoles to watch as they blaze through the garden. I have a single ripe mango I haven't eaten yet, and big plans to munch it as I sit on the sand, juice running down my arm in the heat before I wander into the ocean to swim myself clean. In short, I'm super busy. Please make do with these pretty pictures until I'm home. (If you want more, by the way, I'm on Instagram as @yarnharlot.)
And I saw a lot of seaweed
Today was a very good day. I woke up early, and I was lying in my bed, unable to go back to sleep because of these huge black birds that call out to each other in a way that's as effective as any alarm. They start to shrill out to each other just before sunrise, announcing to their whole world that another day is starting, and as the sky just started to lighten, I realized that I had an opportunity. An opportunity to see the sunrise over the Caribbean Sea, and to take a picture so that I could post it, and it would then seem to all of you that I am the sort of person who gets up for the sunrise.
See? Doesn't it look exactly like I'm the sort of pure spirit who gets up and does that? Sure it does. (I will admit to doing one tiny sun salutation on the beach, but hell. How could you not?) The rest of the day marched along smartly, with one major development.
Miraculously, today I got really comfortable with snorkelling. Mum and I tried it for the first time last year, and she was really good, and goes out alone all the time, and she's starting to look pretty savvy out there. Me? My attempts have largely been successful, though have been punctuated by episodes where I inexplicably screw the whole thing up, draw a large lungful of air, and then near drown myself just offshore.
Today was different. Today I got the hang of how to clear the thing, and how to get it on your face so it doesn't leak, and how to keep it from fogging up – it went really well. I don't have any fins, so I just swim along, and I don't make good time, but I am a very strong swimmer, so I can stay out a long time. Today I remembered I'm a good swimmer, and I got the mask on right, and figured out what to do if the whole system fills up, and once I had that all sorted, it was really fun. It was… peaceful, and weird to be floating along with your face down in the water, and still be breathing. (Trick number one to snorkelling. Convince yourself that you can breathe, even though your face is underwater. It's harder than you think. Instinct is a powerful, beautiful thing.) Today it was all going so well, and I saw some pretty fish that were blue and yellow and black, and some that were just black and white, and many fish that I know are Barracuda, and then a fish that was as long as me – and about seven of his friends, all lurking around on the bottom of the sea, trying to look innocent, even thought they all had great pointy teeth.
The moment though – was when I was cruising along, and suddenly a great chunk of the ocean floor moved. I wasn't in very deep, and I was in a place where the sand rose up, in a small underwater hill, and below me, only a metre or two away, a big thing was going. I don't see very well, and I didn't have my glasses on (obviously) so I kept swimming on, and only when I was right on top of the thing did I realize it was a big stingray. I froze.
I stopped swimming entirely, and didn't move a muscle as it winged by right underneath me, and I tried desperately to remember what I knew about them. Did they really sting? Was that a myth? What made it sting? What about that Australian guy? Was there anywhere to go? Was this dangerous? How do you run away in the ocean?
I realized quickly that he was going his way, and I was going mine, and I couldn't think of any reason we would hurt each other if we were both quiet and sorted, and off it went, with its great long tail trailing behind it. It was huge, and it was beautiful, and I am very glad I am learning to snorkle.
Then about 5 seconds later a piece of seaweed touched my leg and I just about had a heart attack and drowned myself.
It was elegant. Knittter out.
Things are looking up
When I was in school, I had an art teacher remind me that sometimes, the trick to finding out how something was interesting was to change your perspective. "Look around" she said. "Squat down. Lie on the floor. Look up. Find another way to look at things." While I hardly need a way to make this trip interesting for me, I was thinking yesterday about a way to make it interesting for you, and I remembered the advice. I was walking down the street here, and stopped to consider what was under my feet. Two seconds later it was something else, then something else… Mum and I started looking at the gound – plants, tiles… interesting things that were right under our feet. It became a little game. An art project of a sort. Here then (instead of a shot of a beach that looks just like a beach) is what we walked on yesterday.
Today's Spanish words? Pies (that's feet, and you say it pee-es, not like the apple kind) and el suelo. That's the ground. (I didn't find out what floor was. I'm sort of hoping it's the same.)
I won't say it's cold
Safely arrived in Mexico – only to find that it's a bit chilly – which is to say that instead of the -20 at home, it's 23 here.
Not quite warm enough for swimming, and there's a terrific wind. Still, at the risk of being sandblasted, my mum and I stood on the beach and drank our tea, and looked North. Both to see if better weather is blowing down, and because no matter how nippy we are here, we're just going to be glad we're not there.
It's a good day for knitting.
Ins and Outs
Boy, are things every moving fast around here. I got home from Madrona Monday night (Well, technically it was Tuesday in the small hours) and hit the ground running. Yesterday was Sam and Lou's birthday, her 21 and him 3, and a good time was had by all, I think. Sam had her favourite dinner with the whole family there, and I'll have to see my little guy when I get back.
Get back? Yup. I'm out the door again. This time for what has become my traditional winter trip with my Mum. It's Mexico for us again, and today I'm dumping sweaters and scarves out of my suitcase, and dumping shorts and tee-shirts in – although there's one scarf I'd like to take with me. Fox Paws.
It's done, and I'm so in love with it that even a tropical climate can barely dissuade me from wearing it. I blocked it when I landed in Seattle, and it was dry in time to be worn all over Madrona.
It got the proper number of compliments, and how could it not. What a beautiful thing. Absolutely worth the fuss.
Pattern: Fox Paws, although I only did 4 repeats across- to make it a scarf, rather than a wrap. It was a good move I think, this size is more practical and wearable for me. I knit until it was longer than a full chesterfield, I'd say it comes in at about 2m long (that's about 6.5 or 7 feet, for my American friends) and it's the perfect, perfect length. I'm glad I didn't wimp out.
Yarn: Rowan Fine Tweed, in Arncliffe, Keld, Bainbridge, Tissington and Dent. Two balls of each – with a good bit (about 8g) left of each ball when I was done. Needle: 3.75mm.
I'm in love with it. I could take pictures of it all day, and it's currently hanging over a chair in the living room, where if I thought the cat would stay off it, I'd leave it – just as a piece of art. (As it is, if she puts a single claw to it, I'll have her killed, so for both of our sakes I'll move it.)
Having a scarf like this makes me almost glad it's winter, although not glad enough to not be thrilled that I'm off to warmer climes. This time tomorrow I'll have knitting in hand, bum on the sand, and toes in the ocean. For now, I've totally got to wind some yarn, pack a bag and polish my Spanish. I can't wait to have an adventure with my mum. Last year we learned to snorkel. This year? Who knows.
Never Say Die
This is a quickie, since I'm just changing planes in Vancouver before flying to Seattle, for the annual textile party that is Madrona. (By the way, if you're around, I'm signing books Friday after class, and if you bring yours, I'll sign them. I don't think there will be any for sale, so bring yours, or a bookplate, or something. I'll sign anything. Almost. I have a few standards yet.) I can't wait to get there. I've been doing Madrona for years and have a soft spot for the event that's hard to explain, but I'll tell you about it as we go along, and maybe you'll get an idea. This morning I packed two things of note. First, an unblocked but totally finished Fox Paws.
Fox Paws is seen here yesterday one half cat short of a chesterfield, at the exact moment that I realized that I could totally finish if I blocked it at Madrona, so I charged off and totally crushed it. I finished really late last night (don't talk about what time, it makes me want to nod off where I am) and it's tucked into my bag, and it will have a swim and a pat when I arrive. I can't wait. The other thing I brought with me? One of the reasons that I was so anxious to finish Fox Paws.
That yarn totally needs to be a size four sweater by Monday night.
Don't panic early. It's going to be fine.
(PS. I'm aware the blog has been up and down, if you're a tech type, the problem is that the HTTP keeps deciding to be unresponsive, and has to be restarted. I'll look into why when I land and have a chance to get on the phone. In the meantime, try not to worry too much. It comes back up after a bit.)
I'm okay now
No, Fox Paws isn't done. It was supposed to be – or at least I thought it would be done today, and maybe it would have been, if things hadn't gone a little pear shaped. (By a little pear shaped, understand that I mean that me and that piece of knitting have suffered an insult to our relationship that I'm still struggling to work through.) I was knitting along, minding my own business, packing for Madrona in my head (which is not as effective as actually packing, but you know- it's a start) and all of a sudden, it stopped working. Now that I'm used to it, Fox Paws has a rhythm I can see. There's certain points where I can check in, and know if I'm spot on, or if something's come off the rails. There's spots where decreases line up, and increases go on top of other increases, and now that I've learned where those landmarks are, it helps a lot. If I get to one of those spots and things aren't working, then I know I missed something, and back I go – just to the beginning of that repeat – or the last place it all made sense. So, that's what happened this morning. I got to a place where I check in, and it didn't check out, and so I swore gracefully (I'm getting good at it) and tinked back, and had myself a little do over. Still wrong. Back I went again, and still wrong. I tried a few more times, and then figured that I'd done something really stupid a few rows back – something like knitting four together instead of five, or missed a little yarn-over. A klutzy little manoeuvre that left me short a stitch. I looked for it, didn't find it, and in the grand tradition of knitters everywhere, I fudged. I did one less decrease so that it would start lining up again, and carried on. This – for the record, didn't work. Things stayed screwy, likely because I'd compensated in the wrong spot, and a few rows later, when I was just about out of my mind trying to get back on the horse, I saw this.
Yup. A dropped stitch. See that little cream coloured one that's in the wind? Rat bastage. At that point I did the only mature thing. I contemplated some sort of ninja fix, decided I'd come too far to have it be less than perfect, and I ripped out several heartbreaking rows.
This, my friends, is the reason why some knitters drink in the afternoon, which I didn't do, but I understood the urge completely. A considerable amount of time later (really, really considerable) I had it back on the needles, and it was working again.
Still, that little episode cost me my only knitting time today, and so instead of being finished, Fox Paws is one small curled cat length short of a chesterfield, and I can't spare any more time to wrestle with it. I've got workshops to prep for – and the Madrona Teacher Talent Show for Charity to finish pulling together (and I still have no talent – apparently not even for knitting) and well. The idea that I'd get on a plane on Wednesday wearing this bad boy is starting to be pretty freakin' unlikely. All because I dropped one stinking stitch.
Today, knitting and I have a pretty dysfunctional love-hate thing going.
Second verse, same as the first
Can't talk. Knitting Fox Paws.
Two more repeats accomplished, and the end is truly in sight. I've got a scarf I love the length of, and it's just about the length of the cushions on the chesterfield, so when Fox Paws covers that distance, it's done. (Maybe plus a little bit. It's not like you want to wimp out when you're making something that's taken this long.)
Still, I need to make a pair of socks, and Lou's Birthday is coming, and I have another scarf to knit and… c'mon Fox Paws. Let's tango to the finish line.
Perhaps if it was less drafty
Today is better. I'd say that everything is smoother, and it's all evening out, but the truth is that last night I made a determined and clever decision to care less. It's easy, when things are chaotic and wild to start thinking that if only I had my scene together, the world would just smooth itself out. Another list, two more post-it's another tremendous effort to pull it all together – nope. A bunch of this is simply beyond my control, and I'd do well, I realized to remember that. Some parts of life are just a ride you're on, and you really can't get off until the next station. Until then, you just smile, nod, do the best you can to be cheerful, and wait until you can high-tail it out of Dodge. That's my plan. In the meantime, a miracle has happened.
I've continued to work on Fox Paws, and it's been this… thing. it's something I knit on, something I like, but it's been going so slowly that to imagine it as a finished object would have been folly. I'm not making a scarf, I'm just knitting Fox Paws. It's sort of like yoga or something. You go, you do it, and it's pleasant, and it's a thing that you do, but it's not like there's a finish line. A time when you'll have accomplished yoga, and you'll stop and do something else. Fox Paws has been like that. The finish line seemed so far away as to be an unlikely goal. Last night, that all changed. On a whim, for no reason other than I felt like it, I draped it around my neck in between rows. Really, I was more reinforcing that idea that I wasn't making a scarf than anything else, but lo and behold, it's actually pretty long.
It is long enough that for a second, I could see the future. A future where I am not knitting Fox Paws, because the exercise actually ended, and I got a scarf. I scarf I wear on my body! I took it off and measured, and I measured a repeat, and I thought about how long it takes me to knit a repeat (tip: a long time) and I realized that I'm eight repeats from done. Eight. That's it.
It prompted this amazing thought, something I'd given up thinking about 20 minutes after I started knitting this. I think I'm making a scarf.
How about that.
Settle Down Now
It would seem, my friends, that I have once again developed a case of RMT (Reverse Midas Touch) in which everything I touch turns to …well. Insert your personal opposite of virtual gold here. Decisions thought made have come unmade, everybody seems to be changing their minds on things, the oven light burned out* (actually, about nine lightbulbs in the whole house burned out all at once – it was like a movie where a demon moves in) all our things with batteries are dead, the washing machine smells funny, this morning my computer took leave of its senses and forgot its password for the mail system (really? REALLY?) the thing we did to the roof to try and fix the ice problem really, really didn't work, the cat doesn't seem quite right, I can't find any of my subway tokens, my bank card stopped working (stupid chip) and I've had to show a remarkable amount of personal flexibility to cope with it all, which is not exactly my strong suit. (By "not my strong suit" I mean that I'm about as good at is as worms are at the hand jive.) Case in point, my computer froze about five minutes ago and ate the entire big post I had written. I am spending a rather ridiculous amount of energy on not going completely bananas and I have responded to this in characteristic fashion.
I've resumed knitting Fox Paws. If there was ever a knit that could give me a sense of order out of chaos, this is it. I can't explain why fussy knitting would fix things being too fussy, but such are the mysteries of the craft. I'm going to keep knitting on it until I stop feeling like I'd be a danger to others if I put it down.
*It really isn't a tragedy that the oven light burned out, but how trippy is it that I'm 46 years old, have cooked a lot my whole life, and that's the first time it's ever happened. I actually had to look up how to change it. I swear I'd never even considered the possibility that they burned out.

Partial Interview with Theodore, Ryder and Ribeiro
I did this last week, and if you are interested here it is:
http://www.insidehockey.com/canadien...html#interview Its not that complete, but its the best I could have done that particular night. I am also still innexperienced at the NHL level. |
Hehe. Mike Ribeiro looks quite a bit like Craig Rivet.
Did you interview them yoursel :bow: f?
lol. how can they screw up that picture so badly
Yes, good job - I can't believe I forget to say that. I also can't believe those guys don't really have any rituals. If it were me I'd have tonnes - I mean, I already do hehe.
Tonight i was at the leafs game, and Belfour was in the message room for quite awhile. Maybe his back isn't as good as it is thought out to be, it could also be no big deal too. I was also surprised none had rituals...I asked a lot of players, and only Ribeiro said he might start one...Gary Roberts said he would grow a beard. |

Go to your local Home Depot and pick up some used railroad timbers.Put them on your hillside. This is what I use. Has never given me problems. Will handle any caliber from .22 to .458 Win Mag.
Peace is that brief, glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading.
Actually, here's a thought:
If you only used the bottom half, and then turned it at an angle so that the top side of the half barrel were significantly closer to the shooter and the bottom edge were recessed behind that, you could create a water trap below it that I would bet most of your exiting lead would be captured in -- or at least a heavy sand box below it.
Take the top half off, rotate the bottom half slightly so that the leading edge towards the shooter is the top edge, and build a sand trap below it.
Or, take the top half off, still rotate the bottom half a bit, and then place the piece of the top half that you took off in opposition to the existing bottom half, covering most of that existing bottom half with the piece taken from the top in the opposite direction. Then fragments and bullets would enter the piece that is now the bottom half, and if they slid around the hemisphere and came out they would be ejected into the other half placed up against it in the opposite direction.
Bet I'm going to need to add some drawings to this post. Sorry about that. Click on the tumbnail for some idea of what I'm blabbering about.

No need to engineer a back stop when one is already there. Using any part of that barrel is a bad idea.
Glad you're ok Steve, and had the opportunity to live and learn.
I can't find any reason to get defensive, I made a stupid mistake, and I accept responsibility for it. I feel very embarrassed, because in hindsite this was a problem just waiting to happen. I am gratefull for all the advice given by the members here.
Both my wife and I have been shooting at this backstop for a long time, and as bad as I feel now, I could have never forgiven myself if the same thing happened to my wife.
Glad you are ok man. I'm sure there are plenty of things you could lay down there if you'd prefer not to shoot directly into the hillside...
Look at it as a lucky warning. Something is amiss, with the gun or more likely your "stop". Don't shoot that gun period or any gun at that stop until you know for sure what the cause of this, and then check to see if it is corrected BEFORE live fire.
You may not get lucky twice!
OUCH! Yup I think you can officially call that one a "close call". Glad you're Okay and the lesson didn't cost ya an eye... Stay safe.
"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." Luke 22:36
"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." Thomas Jefferson
First, glad you are ok. Secondly, no red ryder BB gun for you this Christmas! ;)

Nicole Hopes She's Not Treated Like Paris in Court
Nicole Hopes She's Not Treated Like Paris in Court
After a long weekend of parties and friends dropping like flies, Nicole stopped off for a little mani/pedi action in Beverly Hills. Unfortunately Nicole got in a little trouble for leaving her car illegally parked outside the nail salon. It was obviously no sweat off Nic's back, though, as she didn't budge when the cop came in to talk to her about the situation. What's a little ticket to a Hollywood starlet? Also, this morning, Nicole went on Seacrest's morning show to talk a little about Paris and a little about that controversial party invite. Here are highlights:
- On Paris' Jail Time: "Of course [Paris] is" scared. [Paris was treated] really unfair. I don't know if she necessarily could have done anything to stop that. I think sometimes people just get exploited and I hope that doesn't happen to me … I don't think there's anything I can do to stop that."
- On the party invite: "I do it for every time, for every single holiday … I don't' even know what to say about it, especially someone like me, I'm not a serious person at all and no one thinks I am, so I'm really confused why people think [it is serious]."
While I doubt most people think that Nicole was really planning on having a scale at the door, I still don't think the invite was in particularly good taste. As for her day in court for her DUI? It's coming up June 8, so I guess we'll get to see whether Paris' sentence (or "exploitation") has set any sort of precedent after all. My guess though, Nicole won't be serving any sort of hard time.

Correct Compressor
I want to invest in a compressor and would like some help to purchase the correct. one. It will be only used for painting rc planes, and most of that for airbrushing decals, etc. However, I will want it to be able to spay the occasional plane of perhaps 1/5 scale. I was looking at the AB-AS196 Twin Cylinder Mini Piston type. Will it spay one side of the wing before running out of air, if using a touch up/mini gun or similar? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2611381823...84.m1423.l2649 As you have probably realized I have no experience with compressors or spray guns |
Jan 03, 2013, 10:59 PM | |
To correctly size your compressor, you have to know how much air you largest paint gun willl use. Everything is rated at XXX CFM (cubic feet per minute) at XXX PSI ( pound per square inch)
Example: You spray gun will consume 4 CFM at 40 PSI. This means the compressor must produce 4CFM @ 40 PSI. If it doesn't you will run out of air. With the above said you can cheat a bit as the compressor will build pressure above the 40 PSI so you have a little cushion. Also the compressor will run after the pressure lowers a bit and add air as you are spraying. EDIT: A larger reservoir will also help with not running out of air. You could purchase one of those tanks you use to fill a flat tire. Hooked up to your existing tank it will give more capacity. I have a 2 HP compressor capable of 150 PSI. I have painted cars with it, but that is a bit of a stretch even for that compressor. For your application I would look for something that will pump about 3 CFM @ 90 PSI. Something like this http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...8650_200578650 That will run a spray gun something like this ( for bigger stuff) and smaller guns/air brushes of course. http://www.build.com/campbell-hausfe...Fe5FMgodGTIAQQ I know I've left out some details but this will do just about any model painting you want to do and you won't outgrow it next week. I'm sure others will jump in with recommendations. Ask questions as that is how you learn! Ken |

I initially tried a small 2HP (with 24 litre / 6 gallon tank) that was rated for 3½ cfm at 110psi and it worked OK for my Iwata airbrush although the compressor kicked in a bit. I then tried it on a small touch-up spraygun (a Graco AirPro conventional gun rated for 12.2cfm at 43psi), and even with the gun throttled right back on every setting, the compressor ran continually and the pressure still dropped in the tank. I could only use it for a few minutes at a time. Bear in mind that most of these cheap compressors don't have a decent duty cycle, so they are not designed to run continuously. I now have a 2.75HP V-twin 7.5cfm (with 36 litre / 9 gallon) compressor and it runs my touch-up gun OK when it is throttled down a fair bit. Most touch-up guns are rated for around 8-14 cfm. Colin |

Cable TV in Shoshone, ID brings you more than just great television programming.

And 72% of people in the U.S. bundle their cable TV contracts with high-speed Internet service. Additionally, about half of TV viewers in the U.S. stream some TV content online. In Shoshone that makes 1,112 residents who bundle their cable TV subscriptions and Internet packages, and 742 who use that Internet to stream TV content online.

"The bloodwood tree (Pterocarpus angolensis) is a deciduous, spreading and slightly flat-crowned tree with a high canopy. It reaches about 15 metres in height and has dark bark. The bloodwood grows in warm areas in the northeast of Africa, extending into Zimbabwe, northern Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia. The red sap is used traditionally as a dye and in some areas mixed with animal fat to make a cosmetic for faces and bodies."Source, via The Soul is Bone.

"Am I the only one who read the first line as:

Having presented me with the word 'blood', I automatically read delicious and then completely failed to convey my curiosity if others had also experienced this.
Same world as yours, just with less sleep. Keep up the good work! No sleep is not good. I once worked a 114-hour week. Log off and get some sleep. :.)

The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has imposed a penalty on North Delhi Power Limited for violation of the procedure specified in the supply code and for causing harassment to a consumer.
On the basis of a complaint filed by a consumer who was charged with meter tampering, the DERC has asked the discom to cough up Rs.10,000 and asked the company to ensure its employees strictly adhere to the law while taking any such action against a consumer in future.
A consumer complaint against NDPL filed under Section 142 of the Electricity Act, 2003, stated that the meter got burnt in March 2007 after about 12 years from the date of its installation.
The complainant approached NDPL to replace the burnt meter, but the company restored supply by the way of by-passing/directly connecting the meter. The consumer further alleged that a few days after the incident, NDPL officials visited the premises for inspection and declared that the meter was tampered with connected load of 4.74 kw against the sanctioned load of 3 kw and a direct theft of electricity (DAE) case was booked.
In her defence, the consumer also cited that her complaint for replacement of burnt meter or the complaint regarding disruption in supply of energy should be considered sufficient to prove there was no theft.
The consumer further alleged the violation of Regulation 26 (iii) of the DERC (Performance Standards – Metering & Billing) Regulations, 2002, which states that during the personal hearing the licensee shall give due consideration to the facts submitted by the consumer and pass within 15 days a speaking order as to whether the case of suspected theft/DAE is established. In case of the decision that the case of suspected theft/DAE is not established, no further proceedings shall be taken and connection shall be restored through the original meter.
Wrongly charged consumer of power theft charges DERC imposes fine of Rs.10,000

+1They last it seems forever. The sandal has no straps and is held on by a toe holder. Once you learn to walk in them they are quite wonderful and great traction. Sadly the idea did not warrant enough sales so it was discontinued plus the original price of $50 a pair made a lot of people just say no. I have had my pair for a good 4 or 5 years now and love them. They are called Dopies. You can still find them out there but sizes are limited and of course the price has dropped as the vendors who still have some just want to get them sold instead of throwing them in the trash. They were marketed as """ Naked shoes for naked people """ so of course me being an avid nudist they caught my full attention. They just needed to have a lower starting sale price and the idea would have survived.
They did come with a strap but were really designed to be worn without thus the idea of being close to naked.
