After months of hard work, the director of the video, Charlie Stough, has finished the Halo short film we started back in November of 2012. Here it is!
It's been a while since I've posted any sort of progress thread. My last WIP thread was my Carter build, which unfortunately has been scrapped. After seeing builds like LongshotX and Starvinartist, and with the announcement of Halo 4, I have been inspired to complete my Halo 3 Mk VI build. The problem I have had with other builds is time. I rushed my Carter build and that was it's downfall. With Halo 4's release date set in November of 2012, I have tons of time. So, I will be focusing on one portion of the armor at a time and as such, this may be a build that will go on for a long time.
I started this build over two years ago with the pepping of the helmet and only recently finished the helmet. This thread will show my progress toward completing my own Mk VI suit in anticipation of wearing it to a Halo 4 midnight release and any other conventions. I will be keeping most of the progress photos and the photos of the finished product in the first few posts so they will be easy to find. Any videos or requested images will be posted as needed further down the thread.
I hope you all enjoy this build, it's going great so far.
Edit1: Looks like I'll be pushing this one to the wire again. Halo 4's release is less than 5 months away and I still have to complete the thighs, cod and gauntlets and start the biceps and the torso. At the rate I'm going, it will be close. I am, however, still confident I can complete this in time!
Edit2: It seems that finishing up the suit in time for the Halo 4 release is more and more realistic. I hope to be finished with everything except the torso and a weapon by the end of August, then finish up the torso by the end of September. After the suit is complete, I'll turn my focus onto a weapon. As of now (July 9), the most realistic option is a new Halo 3 pistol, but I may be able to finish up my battle rifle as well. With builds here on the 405th like MacAttack's and Cereal Killl3r's, the motivation is running high!
Edit3: I was saddened to learn yesterday that one of the builds that inspired me to start this, StarvinArtist's, has ended. With most of his students graduating and moving on, there is no one to continue the build. He was able to create a great looking suit, and hopefully he will find more students to share the hobby with! I remain on track to having my suit finished by the end of September, and look forward to donning the armor to show it off at the Halo 4 launch, and beyond.
Edit4: With the completion of the cod piece on the last day of August, I'm perfectly on schedule to finish the armor by the end of September, as I had planned! That will give me a month to make any adjustments/repairs/improvements to the armor as well as work on finishing up my Battle Rifle!
Edit5: Down to the wire. Less than 6 weeks left until the release of Halo 4. Unfortunately, I will not be finishing my torso before the end of September due to financial restraints. It will, however, be finished by the end of October, and realistically, around the middle of October. That will give me less time to work out all the issues before finalizing it for the midnight release. This also means that the chances of finishing my Battle Rifle will be slim as well (the store may not even allow a weapon, so it may be pointless to rush it anyway).
Edit6: With less than three weeks left until launch, I'm in great shape! All the armor pieces are built and painted. The only thing left is to light up the torso, and the armor is complete. I also have enough supplies and time to make a decent run on the battle rifle, and possibly the pistol!
Edit7: October 25th, and the armor is complete. I'm all set for Halloween, and the Halo 4 launch at my local Game Stop. I will be doubling my efforts to finish the battle rifle since I've been offered a small role in a short film a student from the University of Iowa will be shooting the weekend before launch. Since it is a battle scene and the spartan I will be portraying will use his weapon, I figure that having a BR would be appropriate.
Edit8: Well, here it is November 6, 2012.The Mission: Finish the suit before the end of October, Accomplished. Finish the Battle Rifle in time for the video shoot, Accomplished. Have a great time at the Midnight release of Halo 4, Accomplished!

Mk VI Helmet Progress
File Info
Modeled by: Flying_Squirl
Unfolded by: Ral Partha

As stated, this helmet was started about a year before the release of Halo Reach. It is the third Mk VI helmet I pepped. The first was too small and the second I built without supports and it warped beyond repair.
After I was inspired, I turned on the afterburners and went to town on it. I rondoed and fiberglassed the inside, making it the strongest helmet I've built so far. The bondo work went pretty quick too and was a lot easier that I had expected.
I installed the visor and sealed the gaps using Blackula727's method (found here: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/...ail-your-visor), although the sealing the gaps method I had thought of years ago, he just beat me to posting the tutorial.
The visor was cut in this shape to accommodate the black indents above the cheeks of the helmet...
The indents were sanded down and while I was closing the gaps around the rest of the helmet, I built up the ridges on the perimeter of these parts to cover that gap as well. As of now, it's only a single visor. I will be purchasing and installing a second for the dual-layer effect when I get the spare money.
And here is the helmet, pre-black wash and finishing...

Shin Progress
File Info
Modeled by: Nicktendo & Crackhead09
Unfolded by: Ral Partha

The first pair of shin armor I built turned out to be too small. They fit fine after they were pepped and resined, but when I applied the rondo to the interior, the interior volume shrunk and I forgot to take that into account. I tried everything I could to make them work, but in the end, they ended up warping beyond help (even after I had hardened them). So, I scrapped them and decided to start anew. Luckily, I found on my laptop, a set of shins that were super detailed. All the detail I was attempting to add in the previous shins are present in this file. So, here are the pics...
This time, I opted to harden them with fiberglass cloth rather than rondo to minimize shrinkage. The shins have been resined, hardened, smoothed, primed, painted, distressed, strapped and padded. They are finished and fit nicely.

This is the third size for the thighs I've built, and I finally got it right. After two tries with the HD file, I switched over to the LD file to size test. I tried about half-a-dozen sizes I finally determined that 399mm in height is perfect.
The thighs are complete.

This is the third size of boot I have put together for this build. The first were too small (they looked fine next to the shins, but didn't adequately cover my shoes) and the second were far too large. This design is by far the most accurate I have seen, and the fact that the piece that covers my shoes is detachable is perfect.
Foam Boot Progress
File Info
Modeled & Unfolded by: Robogenesis
Since the boots are the weakest part of the armor, I've decided to attempt to create a more stable pair. As of August of 2013, I've started building boots constructed of EVA foam.
By coating them with an epoxy resin called Envirotex Lite, I'm able to also apply a layer of bondo to achieve the same level of detail I get from a pep build...
Here's a quick video on how well the Envirotex works with foam...

Support Structure by: Carpathia
Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/UN-qXrEd/Cod_Support.html
After developing a new structure system for the cod piece, it went together very quicky and is holding its shape remarkably well. This helped greatly in the resin and glassing stages and made the build go very smoothly.
One thing I was struggling with, and I think quite a few builders struggle with as well, was how to break the cod piece apart without losing the believably. After tons of time looking over reference photos and running it over and over in my head, this is what I have come up with...
By separating the back plate from the rest of the belt section of the cod, the cod itself holds up aesthetically. Additionally, the two buckles found on the back of the in-game model are not only present in this build, but functional.

The biceps are pretty straight forward. I used the LD version to figure out the height, much like I did with the thighs and the gauntlets, and jumped right into the HD version. They were a little complicated, but not impossible.
The biceps have been finished.

I attempted the high definition gauntlets before building these. They turned out being just a little too complicated for my taste. These were far easier to build, and they're detailed enough that they only require a little extra work.
The gauntlets are complete. They fit nicely and turned out great.

I finally got the start on my torso. This is sort of a hybrid build. L3X BLU3R1V3R did a tremendously smooth unfold of Flying_Squirl's model. The only problem is that there were certain parts missing that I would have liked to have in the model, as seen here...
However, there were quite a few aspects of L3X's unfold and modification that I liked. Namely, the smooth and rounded shape of the peck area, which will need minimal shaping after the glassing stage. Another aspect I liked about this model is the fact that the back details are greatly simplified, as seen here...
Overall, this is turning out to be a delight to build, good thing too, since it's my last piece! Here is the progression...

Undersuit Pics
This is a black Fila training shirt I found at Khol's.
These are black Fila compression pants I found on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods.
I found these at Walmart for about $30 when I was working with a land surveyor. They are waterproof and very comfortable.
I've seen other members use these gloves for their builds, and I think they will work out fine. They can also be found on amazon (post #2).
Neck Seal
The neck seal was made from light black leather, crafted using a pattern given to me by Adam for contributing toward the migration of the 405th site to its new server a few years ago.
Torso Undersuit
The torso section of the undersuit is made from hand-sewn black vinyl. I searched the internet and looked at dozens of angles on Halo 3 Forge to come up with what I think is a fairly accurate representation of the Mk VI undersuit.

BR55 Battle Rifle

Sketchup Model: FuriousGeorge (Google 3D Warehouse)

Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/RKRLmGa1..._Rifle_V1.html
Since the Battle Rifle is one of the most recognizable weapons in Halo 3, i opted to build one for my armor. A while back, I attempted an HD version pep. While it came out fairly nice, it was still a little too sloppy for me. This time, I decided to edit an existing file and transform it into a hybrid build. The way I've designed this build, it is part scratchbuild, part pep and part slice. Here are a few pics to illustrate my point...
This is a picture of the file in one piece...
This is a picture of the file blown up...
Now, the purpose of all this is to greatly simplify the build, since pepping all the details on this weapon is tedious and rarely turns out well enough. As an added bonus, I currently have access to a laser cutter, and will be cutting all the sliced portions using that, so the cuts will be very precise and the detail great. I'll be posting at least one vid showing the laser cutting process.
As of now, I've pepped a few of the pieces. Here are a few pics of my progress...
And since I need a way to harden these elements, I've cut out access voids from the undersides of each piece...
...this allowed me to pour in the rondo which I used to harden the parts (pics to follow soon).
*EDIT: After laser cutting the base and sliced parts, this was the result of one night of work...
...and this is the combination of the sliced pieces with the pepped pieces...
*EDIT: Getting close...
The scope and the barrel have been scratch-built using wood dowels and PVC piping.

Woah. Amazing job on your helmet
Your build is looking realy good and i cant wait to see it finished and nice bondo work realy smooth
Your helmet is amazing. I want to see more.
Beautiful work. I've got a Mk. VI helmet in progress... Although I'm not going with the Master Chief paint job, it's gonna be Sarge's helmet from RvB. Also working on a Caboose Mk. V and an ODST helmet.
Thanks for the comments so far. I wasn't able to do any bondo work since it rained today, but I posted an up-to-date picture of my suit on post #2. Not much right now, but keep watching.

Gloves: Mechanic's gloves (not accurate, but will work in a pinch)
Undersuit: Black long-sleeve shirt and black scrub pants (also not accurate, but will do in a pinch)
Boots: Black work boots (non-steel toe)
Just a quick update tonight. I did a lot of bondoing, even though it may not look like it. I've started on my other shin too, so you're only seeing half the progress. Just have to add a little detail to the back and a bit of detail to the front of the shins. Hopefully, I can get the detail applied to both shins by the weekend, then I can spend time strapping and painting them.

I've had these sitting around a while. Before today, I thought they were too large, but after building one that I thought was a better scale and having it turn out too small, I'm sticking with these.
As you can see from the picture, the fit is not bad. They will require a little adjusting so I can fully bend my leg, but my mobility as of now is fine.
Here is a quick picture of all the parts of the leg. The boot turned out a little small, so it will have to be redone.
More updates coming, keep watching!
Another quick update on the legs. The shins are nearly detailed and the thighs are ready for hardening and detailing. I just have to repep the boots (pepped one and it was a bit small). So, keep watching and please comment.

I'm watching. I'm watching.
You have some serious skills. I like how you are using the bondo to add in the missing details on the back of the shin. I wish that I had the time to have done that for my build. Nothing that foamies and painting cant fix. :P
Love how your helm turned out. Well done!
Thanks, Longshot. It's a huge compliment to see you say the I've got skill since your suit is one of the ones that inspired me to start this back up.
I can't bondo or sand tonight since it's raining again, but I started installing the electronics and padding into my helmet. I'll have pics of that up sometime tonight or tomorrow.
Nice job on the helmet! it looks awesome!
Thanks Deadpool. If you all like the helmet, here's a little gem. I've gotten the electronics and the padding installed. That means that the helmet is FULLY complete. It's my first COMPLETE helmet!! Only took me two years.
Anyway, here are some progress shots of the electronics installation.
First, the battery packs were glued into place. I needed to supply 12 volts for the fans, which means 8 AAA batteries...
Next, I installed and painted the grill covers for the fan vents. The material I used here is a mesh material used in drywall patching. Very inexpensive, and I had it laying around the house (just a side note, all the items I used for this part I had on hand except the switches).
Then I installed the fans. Two 12 volt industrial fans my father-in-law scavenged from where he works. They were hot-glued into place. The hot-glue also acted as a dampener for the noise of the fans, preventing the fans from rattling the helmet...
After that, it was time for the lights. I used four 5mm white LED's and mounted them behind the clear drawer bumbers adhered to the outside of the helmet...
The padding is 1" padding foam, sewn into some black cloth I had and velcroed into the helmet...
Oh so comfy.
And here's a little extra for you all...
So, I hope you enjoy this. As I said, my helmet is DONE now and I can focus on the rest of the armor. Keep watching and let me know what you think!!

The helmet turned out great!! And you're right, that does look comfy. :-)
Good job, just out of curiosity, what kind of batteries did you use for the LEDs, and how many?

Skip to comments.What does DHS need with 2,700 armored vehicles? (and why have they bought a billion bullets?)
Posted on 03/04/2013 7:36:35 AM PST by SeekAndFind
More to the point; why isn't anyone in Congress asking?
You see a story like this - and the one about a billion bullets bought by the government - and you wonder why no one in Congress has bothered to look into it. I am totally unconvinced there are any dark designs by DHS on American citizens or our democracy. But this seems a colossal waste of money - if true - and isn't ferreting out waste like this what we are paying those jamokes on Capitol Hill for?
Jim Hoft writes:
Modern Survival Blog reported:
The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these 'Mine Resistant Protected' vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.
Although I've seen and read several online blurbs about this vehicle of late, I decided to dig slightly deeper and discover more about the vehicle itself.
The new DHS sanctioned 'Street Sweeper' (my own slang due to the gun ports) is built by Navistar Defense (NavistarDefense.com), a division within the Navistar organization. Under the Navistar umbrella are several other companies including International Trucks, IC Bus (they make school buses), Monaco RV (recreational vehicles), WorkHorse (they make chassis), MaxxForce (diesel engines), and Navistar Financial (the money arm of the company).
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Go to your U.S. senators and congressman's website and fire off an email asking why this is happening. I did. Haven't heard back yet.
also, why are they doing it at exactly the same time Napolitano is out there lying about how the sequester is going to double air travel delays, and TSA agents are going to get laid off,,yadda yadda.
This may be something no more sinister than good old fashioned crony capitalism. DHS is not the Army and if they attempted to occupy someplace, Houston, for example, can you imagine what would happen to them? Dont assume bad intentions when simple payola may be the answer.
Over a billion rounds of ammunition purchased by DHS. Now, 2,700 MRAP's also? And this idiot is not convinced these people do not have any dark designs against Americans?
IF they had only purchased the ammunition, one might make the case that the feds were only out to make sure there was little ammo available for private purchase, and this was done by design to "avoid" another school shooting. But, what would the DHS need with 2,700 MRAP's? They have one intended purpose, and I doubt that DHS purchased them to keep them from civilian hands. This writer has buried his head in the sand if he thinks that the DHS has our best interests in mind.
Same tactics that have proven ineffective in Iraq.
This is to overwhelm the civilian population. Nothing else.
What does DHS need with 2,700 armored vehicles and billions of bullets ?
DUH ! What else?
To shoot you with, that`s what.
HA! Yeah. Right. Like they're going to use these things against terrorists.
Baloney....they aren't stupid....they know whats coming, because they know what their plans are....the Tea Party revolution scared the scat out of them....now they know at least 25% of us won't roll over and play dead....
It seems to me this vehicle would be most useful in a city.
They just re-define "terrorist" as "anyone that opposes collectivist rule" and there ya go.
These will be used against people defending their lives, families, and property against the EBT rioters.
It seems to me this vehicle would be most useful in a city.
Response: The answer is obvious.
Comment: The vermin holding positions of governmental authority know a Social War will break out at any time.
My guess is that we'll all find out this summer.
You're just kidding yourself.
Ah, the old "It can't happen here" canard. That kind of thinking guarantees that it will happen here. Anyone with a lick of common sense knows why the DHS is buying all those tanks and it has nothing to do with money. You think these people care about money? They already have all the money.
Any one that attacks one of those tanks will be declared a terrorist, hunted down by the NSA/FBI/CIA and killed with a drone or "disappeared" under the NDAA.
I think they are remembering back to the Branch Dividians in Waco.
The Clintons had to pay Westley Clark a big price to avoid Posse Comitatus for the armored vehicles to destroy the compound.
It's for your own good, don't you see.
" I have seen a ton of these as a trucker over the last month or two. Lots are being shipped out to California.
I have also seen lots of other refurbished military hummers and other equipment being devielered across the lower 48 states.
None of them have decals or emblems on them."
(comment on DR FB)
"War On Americans.
As one report began, this is getting a little creepy with the word that Homeland Security has put out an order for 2,700 light-armored tanks...just the thing to go with 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point, don'tcha think? And you thought the Bushitas we grounds for conspiracy thoughts?
As I've said before, there is a building case here that there is some 'hidden force" running the agenda of the US government over the past 20-years, or so, and it's like there's no functional difference between presidents...
And whoever it is, they clearly have a vision of having to maintain social order when the financial system blows up - which sure seems to be what they're planning for. 2,700 APC's can't be wronge, can they? And for local police? WTF?"
AND, they're trying desperately to disarm us. Why? Cars kill more people than guns.
Yep. The late John Murtha used stuff like this constantly to prop-up his incredibly corrupt three-decade career in the US House.
Also, thermite in copious quantities applied directly over the engine area while these sit idle.
Standing armies were discouraged by the Founders for a reason.
Looks like we get to find out why soon.

Well. I accept that at face value. I am not at all concerned. I feel better seeing that.
(Do I even need to add it?)
Looks like the army to me.
Apparently the Sequestration budget cuts isn't affecting the build-up and arming of "Janetalia's Army".
Anyone who can't see, or won't admit, that Obama is arming DHS and other government agencies in preparation for war against citizens, against people he identifies as "Bitter Clingers", isn't looking or is on Obama's side and against the US Constitution.
This is a violation of the spirit and intent of the Posse Comitatus Act . It is just another sleazy liberal end-run around the law of the land and the rights of US Citizens. Obama and his "Progressive" henchmen wipe their feet on the US Constitution and the sheeple lick their boots.
The purchase of 2,700 MRAP's certainly isn't to aid in apprehending muslim terrorists boarding aircraft. We know they aren't planning a land war with Mexico or Canada. And we know the administration doesn't care who crosses the border illegally. That leaves only one group of people as the potential targets for such a large militia - American citizens.
What is next on their Wish List? M1 Abrams tanks? A fleet of 10,000 armed, Vietnam style river boats? How about an armed DHS "Security Office" on every street corner in every city, village and subdivision? How long before DHS is patrolling every bus station, train station, truck stop, marina, factory, farm and rural landing strip?
DHS is going to end up with one of the largest and best armed militia forces in the world and their weapons are all trained inward toward law abiding citizens of the USA.
There is a reason Obama is pushing so hard for the right to use drones to kill Americans he declares to be terrorists. It is only one small step for Obama to go from claiming that right on foreign soil to claiming the same authority against "terrorists" within our own borders. And it is only another small step for him to claim the right to kill those same Americans with weapons other than drones.
Any republican senator or congressman who buys into giving Obama the authority to kill an America Obama himself declares to be a terrorist is signing a death warrant for the citizens they represent.
Maybe it's "Police Rescue"...
And whoever it is, they clearly have a vision of having to maintain social order when the financial system blows up - which sure seems to be what they're planning for. 2,700 APC's can't be wronge, can they? And for local police? WTF?"
Tanks are really only good for limited things. They can kill lots of people in, say, a Glen Beck rally where a million people show up to protest something. (I was in DC for the 9/11 rally.) But Tea Partiers will not riot. The tanks would only be used once. Assuming a war broke out and assuming 25% of the 330 million people are going to be on Tea Party side, thats 82 million people. That would be the largest army on Earth. DHS in tanks dont go to a protected Army base at night, they go to the suburbs. The Tea Partiers would find them at home and kill them there. Also, DHS is not full of trained troops. Theyre bureaucrats with guns.
Also, Israel, China and Russia will start sending help. Missiles, technical help, money
No civil war goes as planned. It would be messy and the government would lose. Consider too that the military will not sit idly by while civilians are slaughtered.
They are Government Death Panel Tanks.
Who is "WE"?
Who is the "WE" that doesn't think our military will obey "THEIR" orders to achieve "THEIR" objectives? What are these new "objectives?" Who get's to be in charge of this "alternative" army?
Very Funny, but also very, very sick (and cannot be un-thought now)

California Cops Arrest, Harass Man for Videotaping Them on the Job
Jason Mick
November 26, 2012 4:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Message sent is that citizens should not be able to monitor the public actions of officials they employ
"If you don't give me your ID, then you're going to jail."
That's what a California cop, Officer Gabriel "Gabe" Lira, tells a man who is videotaping a routine traffic stop. For Daniel J. Saulmon who lives in Hawethorne, a suburb of Los Angeles west of Compton, he was simply doing his citizens duty. After all, his taxes help fund the Hawethorne Police Department, so why shouldn't he be allowed to
record video of police in public
on the job, in order to ensure that they do not abuse their citizen-entrusted power?
I. Show Some ID, Bud
Unfortunately, the Hawethorne Police Department's police officers didn't feel they owed the taxpayer anything.
Instead they arrest him (as the tape clearly shows) for failing to produce ID. The only problem? There is no law in California banning recording of on-duty cops and there is no law that requires Californians to produce papers to cops. And in states where there
such laws, the requirement is that the individual be suspected of committing a crime.
Initially the HPD tried to charge the citizen with
resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer
-- an offense punishable for up to $1,000 USD in fines and a year in jail. They also cited him for
not having reflectors
on his bike pedals (punishable with a fine of up to $250 USD).
Ultimately both charges were dropped. Mr. Saulmon's video, ironically, offered vindication by showing the officer improperly demanded his identification. It also showed he was standing a good distance away from the investigation site, and hence was not obstructing.
The extra irony is that the HPD officers should definitely have known better than to pick on Mr. Saulmon. Keenly aware of his rights, he regularly records local arrests. In 2005 he was arrested in a similar situation for eavesdropping/wiretapping. The charges were eventually dropped, and the HPD paid him a settlement of $25,000 USD for the wrongful arrest.
Mr. Saulmon is likely to pursue a similar settlement from the department this time around.
He tells the blog
Photography is not a crime
, "They knew exactly who I was. They always address me as 'Mr. Saulmon'."
II. Justice for Some, But Not All
While the incident ended in vindication for the accused, other similar encounters across the country
ended with little reprieve
for the arrested videotaper. That's because some jurisidictions have banned citizens from recording local cops. The fight to overturn these verdicts may have been given a helping hand by the U.S. Attorney General, who
penned a fiery response
arguing that such arrests were unconstitutional. U.S. Circuit Appeals courts
have ruled
such taping to be well within a citizen's rights.
Some police organizations are still fighting to push back the current federal mandate and instead making taping cops a federal crime.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the
Fraternal Order of Police
, argues that officers should not have to be held accountable and should be free to arrest citizens who try to monitor their activity for wrongdoing.

He comments, "They [police officers] need to move quickly, in split seconds, without giving a lot of thought to what the adverse consequences for them might be. We feel that anything that's going to have a chilling effect on an officer moving — an apprehension that he's being videotaped and may be made to look bad — could cost him or some citizen their life or some serious bodily harm."
Mark Donahue, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, agrees. He has stated in previous comments that his organization "absolutely supports" throwing those who tape police officers behind bars.
He complains that citizens monitoring police activities for wrongdoing might "affect how an officer does his job on the street."

Town meeting will decide on Solzhenitsyn exhibitVyto Starinskas / staff file photo
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, his wife Natalia and son Stepan surprised Cavendish townspeople by showing up at the towns bicentennial parade in May 1994.
CAVENDISH The town of Cavendish will have an opportunity to honor the legacy of a former resident and renowned literary writer on Town Meeting Day.
The town will decide whether to acquire the Universalist Church on Main Street and transform the historic building into a museum and exhibit for the late Alexander Solzhenitsyn. According to Margo Caulfield, director of the Cavendish Historical Society, it could be the most important article on this years town meeting agenda.
We want to have a permanent exhibit and museum specifically focusing on the 18 years Solzhenitsyn lived here, Caulfield said. Our goal is very clear. We want to remember him and his work.
Solzhenitsyn was born in the former Soviet Union in 1918. According to his biography, he spent eight years in a Soviet labor camp, wrote two literary classics, A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and The Cancer Ward, many novels and novellas, and was deported in 1974 by Soviet authorities.
In exile, Solzhenitsyn lived in West Germany, Switzerland and Stanford, Calif., before settling in Cavendish in 1976. Solzhenitsyn lived a secluded life and the town respected his privacy.
Solzhenitsyn regained his Russian citizenship in 1990, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, and he returned there in 1994. But the years when he lived in Cavendish remain a mystery.
According to Caulfield, all of that is about to change.
The majority of the museums focus will be on the 18 years he was here, she said. What the specifics are going to be and how it will look will be revealed.
The historical society discussed the idea of a Solzhenitsyn exhibit for years, according to Caulfield. Last summer, several Russian tourists visited the historical society and inquired about Solzhenitsyns life in the area. As a result, the society met with Solzhenitsyns family members and they agreed that it was the right time for an exhibit.
Caulfield first contacted us in August to let us know they were collecting information and materials about Alexander Solzhenitsyn and that they wanted to create a place where future generations could learn more about his time in Cavendish, Carolyn Solzhenitsyn of Cavendish, who is married to Solzhenitsyns son Ignat, said in an email.
Museums exist in other cities and towns where Alexander Solzhenitsyn lived, she said. We think it will be great and fitting to have one where he spent almost 20 years of his life, the years he calls his most productive, and the place where he raised his family.
The historical society selected the Universalist Church on Main Street in Cavendish as the site for the exhibit. The historic landmark does not have an active congregation and is used for educational purposes, according to the churchs page on Facebook.
The historical society met with the churchs owners, the Universalist Unitarian Congregation of St. Johnsbury, and they approved of the idea, according to Caulfield.
Whats the most beautiful part of the story is that it was approved on what wouldve been Solzhenitsyns 94th birthday, Dec. 11, Caulfield said. It gave us all a very nice birthday present.
If the town approves the transfer, the Universalist Unitarian Congregation will sign the deed over to the town and the town will lease the church to the historical society.
Caulfield did not know how much it would cost to maintain the church, but the historical society will discuss its plans with the Division of Historic Preservation in the coming weeks.
Once we know what to do, well put our money together and find the right people to help. Theres a lot of legwork taking place on how we want this to look like. Caulfield said.
The historical society may open the exhibit by summer and display a timeline of Solzhenitsyns life, select photos and miscellaneous items.
The Solzhenitsyns are now collecting various documents, videos and other materials for the exhibit and Caulfield believes it has potential to become a popular tourist site.
The name of the exhibit will be called, I Wrote and Waited. Its a quote from The Homecoming, a BBC documentary that documents Solzhenitsyns return to Russia in 1994, Caulfield said.
While in Cavendish, Solzhenitsyn wrote The Red Wheel, a series of Russian historical novels, and in the film Solzhenitsyn explained that living in Cavendish allowed him to write uninterrupted, she added. He said, I took work all my waking hours. When youre absorbed in your work, theres no room for other thoughts. Here Ive been able to immerse myself fully in the years.
Solzhenitsyn died in Moscow, Russia, in 2008. His wife Natalia and two sons, Yermolai and Stepan, live in Moscow, while his son Ignat and his wife Carolyn and their children live in Cavendish.
Cavendish town meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, March 4, at the Cavendish Elementary School.

This is sort-of a continuation on the thread "Lack of Good Tone Generators," but I'm hoping for responses in this thread regarding other software.
First, my end-all, be-all of this is that I want to find an inexpensive software-based sampler or synthesizer that can accurately do something with the MIDI output from a wind controller -- something other than just "louder" or "quieter," that is.
Second, the reason why I'm going software-based is because the best hardware-based synths or samplers that can do something with wind controller data are old Yamaha VL-model synths or the pricey MOTIF line.
The #1 thing I had a problem with is that when you type in "software-based sampler" or "software synthesizer" into Google, what you'll get back is a bunch of software that plays ... samples. As in, "DJ Jazzy P" samples. Not what I'd consider a sampler or synthesizer.
I did find that you had to look for "virtual instrument." That's much gooder to Google for -- provided you don't get a billion links for something like testing and measuring equipment, which appear to be the most common "virtual instruments."
So, I tried Amazon.com. There are quite a few. I'm going to look for some trial and/or beta software to see if I can actually test out the products. I know there are a few examples on YouTube, too. The one big negative for me, at the moment: I don't have a wind controller. I've got a $75 Yamaha keyboard that has MIDI.
Anyhow, if you've got suggestions for me, please post. I'm going to look further into Kontakt and propellerhead, as those names came up often in my searches. I hear MOTU Software has something, too. That'll be a blast from the past: I remember using Mark of the Unicorn's software on a Mac 512.

Poor Richard!February 12,2013
Poor Richard!
The discovery of the bones in Leicester, England, of King Richard III has sparked an interest in that time of history. Unfortunately, many people take it as gospel that Richard was a monster who slaughtered his own nephews, among many others ... (Times Argus editorial, The son of York, Feb. 7). That idea has been fostered by Shakespeare and others who took their material from papers left by Sir Thomas Moore. However, Moore was only 5 years old when Richard became king in 1483. Moore got his information from one of Richards bitter enemies, John Morton, who prospered greatly in the reign of Henry VII.
Historians have recorded the facts. After Richards well-loved brother King Edward IV died suddenly, Richard was expecting to be regent to Edwards young son as was cited in Edwards will. However, one Bishop Stillington came forward and announced under oath to the ruling council of the day that he had married Edward IV to Lady Eleanor Butler, and they were still married when Edward married Elizabeth Woodville, the mother of the two princes, thus making those boys and their five sisters illegitimate and not heirs to the crown. The matter was put to Parliament, which declared Richard the rightful king. He had no need to kill his nephews, or anyone else.
There were conspirators, of course, who would do better under a different rule. Henry Tudor (Henry VII) was the great-grandson of an illegitimate son of a younger son of a king (Josephine Tey in The Daughter of Time). Henry VII was successful in defeating Richard at the battle of Bosworth Field. Shortly after declaring himself king, Henry married one of Edward IVs daughters, Elizabeth (grandmother to her namesake Elizabeth I). To make his descendants legitimate heirs of the throne, Henry rescinded Parliaments decree concerning Elizabeths disinheritance. Unfortunately for them, it also made her brothers the rightful heirs to the crown. They had to go, but mysteriously. Morton did a masterful job of putting the blame for their deaths, and many other atrocities, on the now-dead Richard.
There is a Richard III Society which has been working ... to secure a more balanced assessment of the king and to support research into his life and times.... The recent Greyfriars excavation has raised the kings profile and provided us with new opportunities to make the case for Good King Richard (website of the Richard III Society).

After months of working out indoors (thanks but no thanks to this never-ending winter), I'm more than ready for some outdoor activity. Topping my list? Hitting the tennis courts, of course. And this month, I'm feeling even more inspired to pick up a racket and serve away. Why? The Sony Ericsson Open. Below, peep the details on this must-watch tennis tourney.
What it is: The Sony Open features the top men's and women's tennis players in the world. Other than the four Grand Slam tournaments, this is one of the only events on the Association of Tennis Professionals calendar where the main singles draw involves more than 64 participants and extends beyond a week of play. It's become a "see and be seen" destination – featuring high fashion, celeb-studded musical performances, and some seriously enviable shopping opportunities.
Who participates: Some of the biggest names in the tennis world – everyone from Andy Murray to Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.
Where to watch: The 2013 Sony Open is happening now, March 18 – 31, in Miami.
Tickets are still available, but if you're in for a different kind of escape, how about watching from the acclaimed California tennis resort, Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa? Who knows – after you work on that serve, maybe a spot in the Sony Open 2014 is in the cards.
Our Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa Boutique opens Tuesday, March 19, at 3PM ET. Both the men's and women's finals are broadcast live on CBS.

Compressed T-Shirts
Sort By:
Promotional Compressed T Shirts
Giving away promotional compressed t shirts adds a unique spin to the practice of distributing more traditional t-shirts, yet has the same effectiveness when it comes to increasing brand awareness and generating new customers. These one-of-a-kind t-shirts come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, all of which can be imprinted with a company logo. In addition, many promotional products t shirts are made in the USA, which is an increasing trend for consumer goods and giveaways.
Unique Advantages of Promotional Compressed T Shirts
T-shirts are some of the most popular promotional giveaways, so giving compressed t-shirts is an easy way to add a unique twist to a more traditional item. In fact, distributing promotional compressed t shirts can really create excitement about your brand, especially with a younger target market. One idea for distributing promotional compressed t shirts is to tailor them according to a particular marketing campaign. Planning to release a new, environmentally-friendly product line? Perhaps try giving out t-shirts in the shape of a plant or a tree in order to generate buzz and positive press. Another popular idea is to create compressed t shirts in the shape of your company's logo; this intriguing giveaway and unique shape will reinforce your brand in recipients' minds. Other, more standard, shapes for compressed t-shirts include square with rounded corners, round, and flag-shaped. All of theses different shapes are available in an assortment of colors, so organizations can find the perfect items to match their brand guidelines.
Promotional Compressed T Shirts Increase ROI
Not only are promotional compressed t shirts more fun and original than traditional t shirts that companies give away, they can also produce a higher return on investment. Like traditional t shirts, compressed shirts allow organizations to imprint their logo on the apparel items themselves; however, companies can also insert a business card, coupon, or added promotion underneath the packaging of the compressed shirt. Restaurants or bars could distribute these packaged shirts on special occasions and include a coupon with return incentives. Including a special offer or promotion with promotional products giveaways is an easy and cost-efficient way to maximize the revenue garnered from distributions.
How to Distribute Promotional Compressed T Shirts
Due to their compact nature, promotional compressed t shirts are ideal handouts at sports games and other events. Sometimes, companies and sponsors even shoot compressed t- shirts out of spud guns as a form of fun and entertainment during half time at ball games. These promotional products t shirts also make great giveaways at industry trade shows. Recipients ball up traditional t shirts in their hands, making it difficult for other attendees to see the imprinted logo, even if they carry the giveaway around the event. Promotional compressed t shirts, on the other hand, display a company's imprint for all passersby to see. As a result, other people at the event will inquire about where the recipients received these items and the recipients will direct them to your trade show booth.

Cochitos everywhere at Cincinnati Congratulations to the Reds!
I have not been able to post here in Cincinnati. The connection at the hotel and at the ballpark has been horrible.
We saw lots of cochitos here
Too bad we did not get to say hi to Cochito Cruz, maybe when we get back to Dodger Stadium. I have yet to meet him.
We wont be at Sunday's game because of the ESPN time change :-( There was an Octoberfest festival across from the hotel.
Weather here was very cold.
We won one game and we lost one. We saw The Reds clinch here with their win. Next year it will be our turn!
Congratulations to Dusty Baker and the Reds! Good luck in the postseason.
Get Well Dusty!
Good luck Jonathan Broxton in the playoff

Their best album by far IMO, a masterpiece of epic, gothic, powerful and melodic music... All songs are amazing, especially Ghost Love Score, Tarja is great with both operatic and "normal" vocals... Good review!
Written by Ellrohir on 05.10.2007 at 19:04
hell yeah ! you gave even higher rating than i wanted to give (but the staff didnt accepted my "song by song" review )...and i agree with the statement, Once is NW´s best album so far All are good, but one has to be the best
Written by CyberSymphony on 24.12.2009 at 20:16
I definitely agree with this review. For me after the first 4 amazing songs. I tended to skip to my absolute favourite Nightwish song ever "Ghost Love Score". I then started to try out the other songs. "Dead Gardens" and "Romanticide" are very much powerful and strong startings of each song. But they ended for me very strangely and didnt flow at all. Also the album should have ended with Ghost Love Score.
In conclusion, an all time Symphonic Power metal masterpeice, that should be in everybodies collection. (Only if u like that kind of music)

An investigation is underway of more than two dozen Transportation Security Administration officers at the Honolulu International Airport after security failures that could have allowed a terrorist attack on an airplane were allowed to continue for months, KITV 4 News has learned.
TSA employees told KITV 4 News thousands of checked bags were loaded onto flights at Honolulu?s airport in recent months without having been screened for explosives.
At least 27 TSA officers on the morning shift in Honolulu?s Lobby 4 are accused of not properly searching checked baggage before it was loaded on planes, sources said.
Baggage there was supposed to be opened up and checked for traces of explosives, but sources said many pieces of luggage were never checked. In some cases, TSA agents simply marked suitcases as having been screened when those checked bags had not been checked at all, according to people familiar with the investigation.
Sources said baggage checked on nine daily morning departures from Lobby 4 were not properly screened, a situation that could have lasted as long as four months, meaning thousands of suitcases went unchecked.
TSA spokesman Nico Melendez released a statement to KITV 4 News that said the agency "is taking appropriate disciplinary action against several TSA officers following an extensive investigation into allegations of improper screening."
"We took immediate action and none of the personnel accused have been conducting screening duties since the allegations were made," Melendez said. ?TSA is proud to hold our workforce to the highest ethical standards and will not tolerate a deviation from the commitment to carry out our mission to protect the traveling public.?
The Rogers family from Cape Cod, Massachusetts checked in at Honolulu's Lobby 4 Tuesday night for a trip home on Delta Airlines. They were concerned when a reporter told them about the investigation.
?It?s a little nerve-wracking. Thanks a lot,? said Andrew Rogers, as his wife Michelle and two children prepared for a flight to Atlanta that connected to Boston. "We put a lot of faith in our TSA employees and it would be a shame, and scary for us, frankly, to find out that it wasn't being done the right way."
No improprieties have been reported about security screening at Honolulu airport?s passenger security checkpoints, where TSA officers check carry-on bags and passengers for potentially dangerous material before they board flights.
The TSA said the problems should be put in perspective because they happened at one of Honolulu airport's 12 baggage security screening areas and the 27 or so TSA employees under investigation make up a small fraction of the agency's 750 employees in Honolulu.
The nine daily flights where baggage sometimes went un-screened account for roughly 12 percent of the overseas departures from Honolulu airport on an average day. Approximately 73 daily international and domestic flights departed from the airport on an average day in February, according to Daniel Meisenzahl, spokesman for the State Department of Transportation. Another 110 inter-island flights took off from Honolulu each day, he said.
Sources close to the investigation said two Honolulu TSA employees tipped off officials to the problems, starting the probe, which has lasted two months.
One source close to the investigation said TSA managers were unaware of the screening deficiencies because TSA officers would always do their screening work properly when management was present.
But TSA employees point out two shift supervisors were in the lobby all the time and they had to know that checked bags were not going through the proper screening.
Accused employees have been given lie-detector tests and they could be fired, suspended or even fully reinstated, depending on the outcome of each of their disciplinary cases. TSA officials begin reviewing each of their files to determine their punishments, if any, on Wednesday, sources said.
The TSA has been using overtime to cover the shifts of the accused employees who?ve been removed from screening duties during the investigation for the past two months, sources said. They?ve continued to be paid and have reported to work in their uniforms but have been doing ?non-screening duties,? according to Melendez.
News of this investigation came on the eve of an important hearing for TSA officials in Washington.
Wednesday afternoon, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who oversees the TSA, is scheduled to testify before the Homeland Security subcommittee of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee about her department's budget request.

text: So here is a run down of what happened to me today. Went to my mom's work with my baby for her birthday cake. I used to work there, so I know this girl there. She wanted to hold him. No harm in that. But I was afraid of this happening. Sooo, she was like "do you want some cake?" I knew she would do that, so I tried to be nice and said, "Say no you don't! (Giggle)." I said stuff like that THREE times and she didn't listen. She was not only trying to give him frosting but trying to put actual cake in his mouth. I got so mad and frustrated I even said no one listens to me, and I know she knew I was mad, and I know everyone in the room could tell I was pretty upset. I got sympathy from everyone else there, they all understood, and they would not do that since I am his mother saying no. His grandpa has been giving him stuff like whipped cream here and there, and I won't lie, I have a couple times. I avoid it as much as possible though because one, I don't want to start solids until 6 months if not later, and two, I don't want him to have a sweet tooth like I do and turn out fluffy like me! So, anyways, has anyone dealt with a similar situation? How do you deal? It is so frustrating, and it's also so stressful on me. I was warn out after that because I'm still new to this mom thing and I got so emotional! Luckily my son didn't take most of it, he just did the tongue thing and spit it out, but still, why shove cake down a baby's throat? And what is it with people wanting to give baby's every little thing off their plate? I feel like no one understands me because all of these people did formula and started solids at 3 months if not earlier. What a looooong day. I even cried because I was so upset. It's almost like it's coming down to letting no one hold him and being mean and saying, "I said NO." I feel like a black sheep in my circle of friends.

Contextual Ministries at United is designed to help each student assimilate theology, practical ministry skills, personal life and call exploration through hands-on experiences and small group reflection. Students, while actively serving in a ministry context, are placed into facilitated peer groups, which are guided by four questions from Luke 10:27.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind';
and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"Luke 10:27
1 | What is this 'love'?
Each student will explore theological assumptions about the nature and mission of God and humanity's relationship with a God defined as 'love.' What do I believe?
2 | How am I to love God with everything?
There is a strong spiritual formation emphasis in each semester that aids students in the exploration of receiving God's love and posturing one's life toward continual spiritual renewal: How do I stay in love with God?
3 | What does it mean to love my neighbor?
We pray that each student would wrestle with his or her own calling while presenting case studies, weekly reflection reports and developing and staying accountable to learning goals. The covenantal community of MINgroup will be just one crucible from which to explore this question: How do I understand my unique calling?
4 | How might I love the self called 'me'?
We align many of the resources and experiences in the course to help you develop and name a rooted sense of self that is ironically forged in messy, authentic community with others: Who am I?
Formation Requirements
All M. Div. students are required to take in sequence all Formation courses (Formation 1 through Formation 5).
All students in the M. A. degree programs are required to take in sequence Formation 1, Formation 2 and Formation 5.
All Formation courses are offered in either Hybrid/Online or On Campus formats.
In all Formation classes, students are placed in a Ministry Group (MINGroup) for the two semesters. On Campus groups meet either on a weekday afternoon or evening for nine weeks each semester. Online groups will begin each semester attending the Formation Retreat and then complete the coursework online the nine weeks following.
Formation 1 and 2 (PT 504/505)
Focus is on identity formation, covenant building and discernment of call. Work includes: a spiritual autobiography, genogram, Rule of Life, calling statement and Ministry Reflection Reports in addition to preparing for and securing the student's first Field Education commitment (we recommend beginning in Formation 2). Formation 1 and 2 students receive 3 credit hours per year for their satisfactory completion of both course requirements.
Formation 3 and 4 (PT 506/507)
Only students in the M.Div. degree program are required to complete in sequence PT506 and PT507 in two semesters. The year's focus is on the development of theological constructs and learned skills for ministry success. Work includes writing Ministry Reflection Reports, theology of leadership statement and a statement on grace in addition to an ongoing commitment to and active reflection on one's Field Education placement. Formation 3 and 4 students receive 3 credit hours per year for their satisfactory completion of both course requirements.
Formation 5 (PT 606)*
This final semester for all M.A. and M.Div. students focuses on the completion of a Ministry Capstone project as students conclude their Field Education requirements. Formation 5 students receive 3 credit hours for their satisfactory completion of the course requirements.
*If selected, M. Div. students may take Church Renewal and the Practice of Ministry I and II courses in place of Formation 5.
Field Education Logistics
M. Div. students are required to complete two units of Field Education. M. A. students must complete one unit of Field Education.
One unit of Field Education is either:
- ·Summer internship of 30-40 hours/week for 10 weeks = 300-400 hours
- ·Academic Year internship of 10-14 hours/week for 30 weeks = 300-420 hours
The preferred pattern for M.Div. students is to serve one unit in a community organization and one year in a church setting beginning after one completes Formation 1.
Field Education Sites
A placement is negotiated between the field education site and the student, with assistance and approval by the Directors of Contextual Ministries. It is the student's responsibility to discern her or his interests and the type of placement in which she or he desires to learn and serve.
A listing of approved organizations/agencies and church sites is available through the Office of Contextual Ministries, and contains both voluntary (nonpaying) and compensated positions, some of which qualify for Federal Work Study funds. Each student works on-site at the Field Education site and meets with a mentor (called a Shepherd) regularly for an average of one hour per week.
These can be either community or church settings. The advantage of a community site placement (prison ministry, community centers, hospital chaplaincy, etc.) is the student's opportunity to experience in learning/teaching exchanges the diversity of ministry responsibilities within broader community. The advantage of a church site placement is an in-depth contextual introduction to the real workings of the local church.
I'm already serving as a Pastor in a church…What Now?
Two placement options deserve further specification: student pastor and student associate appointments. These appointments serve as your contextual ministry site. Students in either placement position are paired with a shepherd who assists the student with theological reflection, annual learning goals, periodic feedback, and evaluation.
