Nick Kotz
UTSA hosts Jan. 25 lecture by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
(Jan. 24, 2005)--As part of Black History Month, the UTSA Department of Political Science and Geography African American Studies Program and the Institute for Law and Public Policy present Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nick Kotz speaking on his new book, "Judgment Days: Lyndon Baines Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Laws That Changed America."
The lecture, free and open to the public, is 2 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 25 in Humanities and Social Sciences Building Room 2.01.12 on the UTSA 1604 Campus.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Kotz is the winner of a Pulitzer Prize and the National Magazine Award. He is the author of several books on politics, social justice and the civil rights movement. Publisher Houghton Mifflin describes the new book as the first full account of the working relationship between Johnson and King.
According to the publisher, "Opposites in almost every way, mortally suspicious of each other at first, Johnson and King were thrust together in the aftermath of JFK's assassination. Both leaders sensed a historic opportunity born of the popular desire to honor Kennedy's legacy, and they began a delicate dance of accommodation that moved them, and the entire nation, toward the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965."
"Drawing on a wealth of newly available sources -- Johnson's taped telephone conversations, voluminous FBI wiretap logs, previously secret communications between the FBI and the president -- Kotz gives us a dramatic narrative, rich in dialog, that presents this momentous period with thrilling immediacy and which significantly enriches our understanding of both men and their time."

– September 06 2010 – Year XI Issue 128 • The APC Annual
Report 2009 has just been published and this year returns to a special
section containing highlights
from APC´s fifty members around the world, 80% of whom are
from developing countries. Many of the stories like Bytes For All's
fight against internet censorship in Pakistan have been featured in
APCNews but others such as Sula Batsu's work with Costa Rican children
to make board games and so recover part of their community's history
have not. You can download the APC

MONTEVIDEO (APC) - In November
2009, the Dominican Republic became the first Latin American country to
pledge to include a 'gender perspective' – considering the distinct
needs of men and women— in every technology initiative and policy
developed by the government. The tool the Dominicans chose to design
and evaluate their progress from now on is the APC Gender Evaluation
Methodology. This is one of the achievements that APC, the world´s
oldest online progressive network, outlines in our latest annual
report. More

MONTREAL (Chad Lubelsky for APC)
– Attempts to get human rights on the internet onto the agenda at the
Fifth Internet Governance Forum – the UN conference now in its possibly
final edition -- which is to take place in September foundered in the
face of government resistance. And the IGF agenda for 2010 will focus
on development and internet governance. However Vilnius will be the
scenario to shape a debate on censorship, freedom of expression and
privacy that has been clamouring for attention. APC and partners will
hold a discussion on internet governance and human rights immediately
before the IGF in Vilnius, Lithuania on September 13. More

4 arrested as deputies find meth lab in Lake City camper
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 2:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 2:59 p.m.
Four people were arrested Sunday when Columbia County Sheriff's deputies uncovered a meth lab being operated inside a camper, authorities said.
The sheriff's office gave this account: At about 8:50 p.m., Deputies Brian Lucas and Chad Guerry investigated a vehicle parked at 317 NE Double Run Road and smelled a chemical odor consistent with the manufacture of methamphetamine.
The deputies were talking to several persons in the yard of the home when they saw two people running to a camper on the property.
The deputies went to the camper and found materials used to manufacture methamphetamine. Deputies also found drug paraphernalia in a burn pit on the property.
Deputies found one person hiding under a trailer who was determined to have a fugitive arrest warrant from Pennsylvania. Christopher Abbott was taken into custody without incident.
Deputies arrested Dustin A. Doles, 28, of Lake City, on various drug-related charges; Wendy L. Parker, 44, of Lake City, on drug-related charges; James E. Roberts, 36, of Lake City on drug-related charges; and Abbott, 27, of Fort White, on the Pennsylvania warrant.

Moroccan Sand glaze ?
Posted 22 October 2012 - 11:30 AM
Posted 22 October 2012 - 12:35 PM
I have never used the Maroccan Sand, however; I have used several of Laquna's matte glazes and I really like the result. I use a very white porcelain clay body. With to brush-on coats some of the whiteness of the porcelain comes through. I like that effect. I fire at ^6 oxidation. Not a lot of information but it may help you.

I am now making enough stuff that I need to go the less expensive route of buying dry glazes. So, AFTER, I buy and mix up a couple of colors to try of Laguna's Moroccan Sand glaze, I go to Laguna's web site and check for any specifics on applying this glaze. Oh, yeah, it's designed to be brushed on. The store I bought it from didn't provide that detail. I did make some little test pots. My question: have you used this glaze? How did you apply it? What were the results? Many thanks to all the kind and helpful people here. I am taking a college ceramics class and have learned nothing. I have learned most of everything I know from this website, the rest from the couple of books I have read. Oh, no I am not interested in mixing my own glazes from ingredients. Just making the glazes from pre-mixed ingredients about did me in. Maybe some day, years from now.

Easy Ways To Split Your Time Between Your Friends And Date!
With a little planning, you can save big on your prom dinner. I love using the site restaurant.com, where you can buy gift cards for less than they're worth! For $10, you get a gift card worth $25. Or if you have a big group, spend only $40 and get a gift card worth $100! Have your entire group chip in for the gift card ahead of time—the more people who attend the dinner, the less it is per person.
I also like Groupon and LivingSocial. Similar to restaurant.com, these sites have really good deals to help you save money—just make sure you plan ahead!
Turn soda points into a gift card! At mycokerewards.com, you turn in the points found on your soda caps, and then put those points toward gift certificates for places like shoebuy.com, jewelry stores, or salons. Save up all your Coke caps (and your friends' if they're going to throw them away!), and cash them in to help pay for your hair or makeup.
Get a Head Start on Prom Planning!

So nice oh so nice. when I insert my mag, it appears the tail of the bolt is over the back edge of the mag (too short) is this the case?
So nice oh so nice. when I insert my mag, it appears the tail of the bolt is over the back edge of the mag (too short) is this the case?
From looking at things, the 6 PPC would work pretty good with a barrel change. You could likely use the stock magazines as OAL for both cartridges is approx 2.19in. It's doubtful that you'll be able to load up 30 cartridges tho. Modifications to the bolt and maybe the ejector would be all that is needed.
Add a 24 inch barrel and you have a poor man's PSL.

If the left can make a cowardly mass muderer like che guevara a hero, I can make PinoCHEt one.
(That is not my Buick in the photo)
the 6mm ppc is doable. the stock mag likely will not work as the ppc round does not have the taper. a straighter 223 mag with a 7.62 follower might work as well. I have a 243 barrel I was considering rechmbering for the ppc awhile back then I got side tracked . Ammo is really pricey. I have heard of guys forming it from 7.62x39 but it reguires some expensive forming dies. A no neck turn/looser chamber would be likely the way to go. feeding the ppc is said to be tempermental in a auto loader due lack of taper and the neck angle but the round is very close to the grendal and there are 6mm PPC th AR uppers that do it as well.
the 220 russian is another one that would likely be just a barrel change but $$$$ to shoot
ahh guys
slighlty off topic
and maybe a noob question(yea I am a noob )
would the 6.8spc not be doable at all in a ak build??
a guy over at ktog.org redid a KT SU 16 into a 6.8 is the reason I ask
6.8 is doable Im going to open a 223 bolt up on mine. I have a heavy stainless rem 700 barrel. the Mags are a challenge as none of the factory stuff works. may adapt a AR Mag designed for the 6.8.
Found a source for the brass-19.95 per box of 20 casings tho.

There are 6mm PPC reamers on on ebay all the time in a varity of neck dia. I saw one go for $50 awhile back.
The PPC is possably the most accurate round ever designed. this is helped buy super close tolarance brass with small primmer holes. the round was almost exclusivly used in top end rifles and benchrest customs this helps the reputation because the guns would be good regardless of calibure. I have wanted to build one for awhile but to many other projects in front of it . there is also a..17, .20,.22 .25 6.5mm 7mm versions. I always thought the PPC with its parent brass being russian would kind of be fitting on a highly accurate all out AK build. It wouldnt cost much to find out as every thing but the barrrel and mag should be the same. no bolt mods or ejector stuff to change.
Sorry to take so long to answer vz58. Yes the mag does stick past the carrier and even a little past the bolt. However the hump on the hammer allows it to reach the firing pin without hitting the mag.
gotcha looked at that this morning. thanks

The redwoods are beautiful, and it looks big from the car, but you don't realise how big they are until you get out too take a photo, then you notice that you're this tiny dot at the bottom of the picture, and you still don't get the whole tree in the photo. We stopped for a short walk in the forest - where we come across one big tree after another. The root structures of the fallen trees are enormous, and we keep on getting surprised around every corner by another magnificent tree.
The satellite radio and Daniel (our GPS) kept on losing signal either from just the trees blocking the signal or the hills that blocked the signal. The roads were quiet, and there weren't that many towns or villages we passed through. We turned off at Leggett, where there is a tree so old (400BC) and big, they've cut a hole through the trunk where cars can drive through it. From there we pushed through to Fort Bragg, where Highway 1 really starts. Highway 1 is the stretch of road that hugs the western coastline of the USA, and which is very scenic.
We stayed in a lovely place right on the beach, at the entrance of Fort Bragg. The weather wasn't that great, and the next day was also quite miserable. What fascinates me is all these drive through places (other than the food places), drive through pharmacies; drive though banks; drive through Starbucks coffee shops - which came in handy the morning we left Fort Bragg since the water was so horrible that Steven gagged when he tasted the coffee!

Mexico's special prosecutor hesitates over early cases
Organized crime capos and corrupt politicians have been getting away with murdering journalists in Mexico for so long that there isn't a reliable count on the number of the dead or a useful way to measure the crushing effects on a democracy when a country's press is afraid to tell the truth. CPJ research shows that, of 69 journalists killed since 1994 in Mexico, 28 were clearly killed because of their work, and nearly all of those directly targeted for murder. But the killing started years before that, the numbers are not dependable, and the motives are often unknown, because the professionalism of the investigations is doubtful. Mexico's state governments have simply failed to find those responsible, and journalists working outside of the capital have for the most part decided their only protection is to not cover stories the killers don't want covered.

Hopefully these choices are good, although the Jaws music playing in the background suggests either they aren't or I left the TV on.....
I think people are saying Leonova was beaten by Wagner in the Free skate at worlds and lost to Sotnikova at RUssian nationals so she may come third to both of them. If it's Leonova, Wagner, Sotnikova or Sotnikova, Leonova, wagner instead of the the virtually unanimous Wagner, Stonikova, Leonova it has some merit. Though of course everyone predicting Leonova lower than she ends up in results is not new. She's been on "borrowed time" for 2 years now! LOL.

I'm predicting Ashley over Alena because Ashley looks SO READY this season. Ashley did just score 15 more points than Alena in the JO long program. I don't think it's selling Leonova short to say she'll come second to a credible Wagner.
Leonova is usually very messy (even more than Leonova IMO) regardless in her LP. Her programs often feature shaky landings, step-outs/turnouts, and the occasional wobbly spin. Even in her clean Worlds performance, everything was still very forced and tight. In my opinion, Sotnikova is miles better in every aspect except possibly selling the program.

Today, Friends of the Eel River and Californians for Alternatives to Toxics moved to appeal a Marin County Superior Court ruling made in May, which allowed the North Coast Railroad Authority to rebuild a publicly-owned rail line through five counties on the north coast.
According to a Friends of the Eel River press release, the state agency has not addressed potential environmental impacts of rebuilding the rail line from Humboldt Bay to the San Francisco Bay, citing toxic chemicals and pesticides.
"Disturbance of soil, tracks and other infrastructure of the railroad during its rebuilding threatens to release toxic chemicals and exacerbate these impacts," it states.

The Toronto Blue Jays pulled off a historic 12-player deal with the Florida Marlins. As last evening wore on, the hype and hoopla on Sports Talk Radio in The Big Smoke was ratcheted. Ah, but Toronto being Toronto, all that giddiness, all that love, all that manic mirth was short-lived. By the time I turned on Sports Talk Radio this morning at 6 a.m., confidence in the trade had turned to caution.

Town Square
Love in the Time of Children
Original post made by Jennifer Fogliani, Whisman Station, on Feb 20, 2012
"Can you get a Valentine's Day card for my husband?" I asked.
"Are you serious?" Sarah asked.
"I'm very serious. Grab whatever card you can and I'll make it work," I said and hung up the phone.
Sarah arrived 30 minutes later with the second to last card in the store. She teased me for waiting until the last second to get a card. And then teased me even more for having her pick it out. But with two young children of her own, Sarah certainly empathized.
It's not surprising that just weeks after having my third child, a romantic Valentine's Day would be the furthest thing from my mind. But I still wanted to find some way to acknowledge my husband on the day dedicated to love, even if it required a little help from my friends.
I had actually been thinking about what to get my husband, Norm, for a few weeks. During nap times and late night feedings, I scoured the internet trying to find the perfect gift - something he didn't already have. And then it hit me.
What he really needs and truly deserves is some time for himself. So I arranged three different activities - a day of golf with his friend, a sports massage, and a boys night out in downtown. I made three certificates and then put them in the Valentine's card that my friend, Sarah, picked out.
My husband's face lit up when he saw the three coupons I had made describing his golf, massage and night out. He laughed when I told him that Sarah had picked out the card. Romantic? Not Exactly. Appreciated? Absolutely.
For dinner on Valentine's night, I pulled left overs out of the freezer. My husband and I sat in front of the TV to watch an episode of our favorite show, CSI.
"Happy Valentine's Day," I said to my husband as we clanked our soda cans together. Just as we were about to take a sip, our 6 week old starting crying and our oldest, Josie, got out of bed for a glass of water.
"Happy Valentine's" my husband said as he gave me a kiss and got up to check on the baby and get Josie a glass of water. Romantic? Not Exactly. Appreciated? Absolutely.

More of the same formula. Something gained (children), something lost (me time, independence, no romance for Valentines' day). You're spoiled and your sense of lost entitlement is nauseating.

@Meme I am sorry that you find my blog so repetitive and boring. If you are nauseated by my writing, then I'd suggest reading the many other articles in TownSquare and throughout The Voice. You might find them more interesting.

Wow, some people have no sense of kindness..let alone compassion. I think Jennifer writes honestly and intelligently. If you can't understand what she is sharing, then don't read her blog. I, for one, find her blog refreshing, insightful, and honest. And she is absolutely not spoiled. She reveals a loving and kind character, something we all could use.

Well I definitely would agree there are plenty of nauseating articles to go around throughout the Voice. And, that the author's entry themes ring similar most of the time--always complaining about something between the lines. It's no so subtle either. What did the author actually expect motherhood to be like? Try being a working mother or a single mother. Better yet, check out the film, "The Help".

I dont get your blog. As if you are the only person who has a family and cute kids. As far as writing skills Im not seeing it. Just another Mom chatting about all of the cute things her Hubby and Kiddies do. Im not trying to be mean, but I feel your space could be used for a better over all use for the city, and its residents.

I am sorry you don't "get" my blog. Yes, what I write about are stories that many families can relate too - that's part of the appeal for other parents. As for my writing skills - I'd love to hear what exactly you aren't seeing that you'd like to see - I've been a professional writer for over 10 years. This blog is certainly written in a much lighter tone than other things I have written, but I still stand behind my ability.
And I am not sure what exactly you mean by blog taking up "space" as posting my articles on the internet certainly isn't taking the place of other content - there is plenty of room in cyber space for everyone in Mountain View to share their views. I choose to take advantage of an opportunity to share mine and put myself out there - instead of just sitting back and critiquing others.

There ARE many moms out there with working husbands and cute kids (in fact, this city is full of them, they're a huge demographic), but that doesn't mean that those mothers can't feel isolated in or challenged by their circumstances. Sharing one's experiences is a great way to inspire empathy, and to bring our community closer together.
What's so wrong with that?

I have to voice my opinion, Jennifer's blog has annoyed me from day one. All of these stupid stories and detailed events of every day events is indeed nauseating. Jennifer h=goes to the store to buy lettuce and makes a story about how Josie knocked a can off the shelf and Sarah picked it up for her and says "you can thank me when your older, Josie" sorry if that example is a spoiler for next week but seriously?
Oh, and your home all day and the best you can come up with for "Valentines Dinner" is frozen left-overs?

Thank you for such a great blog, it's so nice to hear that other parents go through similar things.
I am so sorry that people feel the need to be so offensive with their opinions-I wonder if their identity could be found out would they be so candid? Why read something that obviously isn't written to benefit you? I wish I had that kind of spare time!

Indeed, Mary. I'm sure the right person at MV-Voice can find my IP give it to there ISP and one week from now The Voice can un-mask this villainous character known as Detective, or Sean, Meme, or AllYouCanEat....or...or....I mean c'mon? can so many be so wrong? Why do you take such offense to other readers comments? I have happily lived in Mountain View for ten years, I have a ton of downtime at work, I visit this website daily and read most of the stuff that is posted, I choose to continue reading this blog cause it...well i do not want to get flagged but lets just say she has two degrees from Stanford and well....whatever.

A Japanese word that means the beginning of something. Used for someone's first sexual intercourse or when someone loses their virginity.

Posted: June 30, 1999 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO - Would you go to an unlicensed doctor? No. So, why work out with an uncertified fitness instructor?
The American Council on Exercise (ACE), a nonprofit educational organization, stresses the fundamental importance of using qualified personal trainers as the number one way to ensure a safe and effective workout.
According to ACE Chief Exercise Physiologist Richard Cotton, ACE-certified personal trainers undergo a stringent certification process, spending months preparing for an intensive 3-1/2 hour, 175 question exam.
Cotton suggests hiring a personal trainer who is currently certified by a reputable organization such as ACE. That way, consumers are assured that the trainer has met the requirements to design and implement fitness programs. ACE certification means the trainer has proven his or her knowledge in the areas of exercise science and programming-including anatomy, kinesiology, health screening, basic nutrition and instructional methods-as well as in emergency procedures and basic first aid.
Unfortunately, there are many personal trainers who are not qualified, says Cotton. For their own safety, consumers should find out the instructor's certification status and educational background before embarking on an exercise program with that person.
ACE provides these tips for selecting a personal trainer:
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the benefits of physical activity and protecting consumers against unsafe and ineffective fitness products and instruction. As the nation's "workout watchdog," ACE conducts university-based research and testing that targets fitness products and trends. ACE sets standards for fitness professionals and is the world's largest nonprofit fitness certifying organization.

Clash: Conflict and its Consequences
23 Jan 2014 - 30 Mar 2014
The Reach Gallery Museum, Abbotsford, BC
This exhibition draws upon works in the collection to present war and conflict as complex phenomena, ones that have far reaching consequences for both those directly engaged in it, and those at various points of remove. Central to this exhibition is photography's relation to trauma and remembrance, at a personal, communal and national level, and issues of what constitutes history, for whom and why.

Revitalizing Face and Eye Massage
Most spa facials involve some kind of face massage to boost blood flow and help the products absorb better. Here's how to get results on your own: Take a warm shower to soften your pores, then cut a chilled seedless red or green grape in half. "Grapes contain hydrating glucose and powerful antioxidants that fight skin-damaging free radicals," says Regine Berthelot, head aesthetician at Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa, in NYC. Slide the flat side of the cut grape over your skin, starting between your brows and moving out toward your temples. Sweep up to your forehead, then down your nose and over your cheeks.
Follow up your grape massage with Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Revealing Mask, $42. It tightens the appearance of pores and evens out your tone.
Glowing Face Scrub
It takes two buffing techniques — physical and chemical — to look noticeably luminous, says celeb facialist Kate Somerville. "The beads or granules in a scrub rough up the dead skin cells, but you need a chemical component, like a lactic or glycolic acid, to dissolve them." Your best bet is to use a product that has both, like Somerville's ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, $85, once or twice a week. And don't just slap the stuff on your face. Gently massage it into your skin for a full minute.
Use a gentle face wash, like Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing Nightly Cleanser, $7.49, before exfoliating.
Energizing Citrus Pedicure
To get rid of the icky callused skin you've been hiding under your socks and boots, submerge your feet in a bowl of grapefruit, orange, or lemon juice (you can use one or a combo of the three) diluted with
equal parts warm water. "The citrus acid loosens up dead skin better than a regular soak does," says Donna Perillo, owner of Sweet Lily Spa, in NYC. After 5 minutes, slough your heels and the balls of your feet with a pumice stone, then massage your entire foot with an oil-based sugar scrub. Rinse it off, and slather on a body or foot balm.
Need a new foot cream? Thymes Essentials AHA Foot Cream, $18, contains exfoliating alpha hydroxy acid and hydrating shea butter.
Before you even pick up a bottle of bronzer, thoroughly exfoliate your entire body. Here's something new you should do next: Use a sunless tanner that is one shade lighter than the hue you want to be at the end of the treatment. "If you apply a lighter color twice — once in the morning and again at night — it'll blend in any streaks," says Cindy Barshop, owner of Completely Bare spas. To make things more manageable, think of your body in sections; start with your legs and work from the front to the back.
For the most natural-looking results, go with a body lotion spiked with sunless tanner. Try Donna Karan Body Glow Moisturizing Gradual Self-Tanner, $35.
Margarita Salt Body Buffer
The ingredients in a margarita make an amazing cocktail...and body scrub. Lime and tequila are natural antiseptics, so they detoxify the skin and help improve tone and texture, says Derek Hofmann, spa director of the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. Combine 1 c. fine sea salt, 2 oz. olive oil, the juice of one lime, and 3/4 oz. white tequila. While showering, rub the mixture onto damp skin in a gentle circular motion. If the salt feels too gritty, add a bit more olive oil.
Draw even more attention to your gorgeous limbs with a hydrating body spray, like Guerlain Terracotta Moisturizing Mist, $59.
Backside Smoother
No amount of rubbing or scrubbing can get rid of cellulite (sorry!). That said, there is a spa treatment that can make your derriere at least appear firmer, albeit temporarily. The secret? Freshly brewed coffee grounds. "Caffeine dehydrates fat cells, so skin looks smoother," says Liliana Dominguez-Grajales, director of the Ritz-Carlton Spa, South Beach. Mix a handful of grounds with a firming facemask (you need all the tightening action you can get) until it's pastelike. Then rub it over your bottom in an upward circular motion, using a loofah or washcloth for extra grip. Rinse it off after 10 minutes.
St. Ives Cellulite Shield Gel Crème, $6.99, contains skin-firming caffeine and cooling menthol. Your rear view will look even sexier after this treatment.

Jenny Mollen may be a knockout, but she doesn't take shit. Find out what she thinks when one reader asks if he should watch porn with his girlfriend.
I really don't understand why people are always so surprised that people watch porn. I love my girlfriend, but the reaction she gave me when she found my stash was like she had just discovered Romney's binders of women, which sucks because I've recently been toying with the idea of watching porn with her. What is the etiquette on something like this? Do I seductively bring my laptop into the bedroom and turn on wherever I left off on Big Girls Don't Cry? Basically what I want to know is how to introduce the idea of watching porn with my girlfriend without looking like an idiot.
Your woman's reaction has less to do with the porn and more to do with the fact that you have a hidden stash of anything! The minute my husband hides something from me, I assume he's doing it because he either A) is having an affair or B) is plotting to kill me. It's just shady to keep anything under wraps from your partner. It suggests that you're somehow embarrassed or ashamed of it.
If you're open and unapologetic about appreciating porn, your girl might be too. If you are weird and secretive, she is of course going to feel threatened. Asking her to watch with you is a great way to destigmatize the subject. And when you are watching, remember that you have company. It wouldn't hurt to mention that you are more turned on by the actions on screen than the actual people themselves. Otherwise, a pricey boob job might be going on your credit card.
Jenny Mollen is a writer, actress and all-around gorgeous sassy badass who lives in L.A. with her dog Teets and husband Jason Biggs.

I like your R2 paint stand
I like your R2 paint stand
Please make this a sticky...........
This is great work.
Was curious to know what is the best adhesive to use for this? I've spent the better part of yesterday trying to mount the posts, but nothing I had tried was holding the pieces down....I was trying to attach the two lower-mandible posts. Tried two different types of CA glue, and even Devcon. I'd place the visor on to tighten down to check placement, but the lightest pressure lifted them.
Here's a link to their website...
Gotta make sure the area is free of any contaminants, and the adhesive has to be allowed to cure. Some CA glues take quite some time to reach full cure if the volume is past a drop.
I'd recommend JB weld as long as it's used sparingly. Been holding down rare earth magnets on my gauntlets for months.
- - - Updated - - -
I think the other issue is that my visor is not pre-formed. It's almost paper thin, very pliable, etc. I have no issues getting it into the helmet, though, I think the vertical portion, since it's not curved, there is more tension. The plastic itself does not shape very well. I had it sitting in boiling water for over 10 minutes just shot right back into it's original flat shape. I may need to find an actual-pre-formed welder's face shield...
Have you tried the visors at T-visor.com? They look really nice and are formed. 3mm thick. Think they were $12 each....I got one but haven't fit it to my helmet yet.
I hear you with epoxies though. Many do not hold up well to shear loads of any kind, but if you let it(JB Weld) sit 24 hrs and it was prepped right, you'd have to use like King Kong pressure to pull them off!
While I did buy two welders visors from Amazon, they come flat, and all attempts to heat it (short of a heat gun, cause I know that will cause bubbling of the surface) failed, as I guess it is intended to take a considerable amount of applied heat to affect it's shape. I did find another supplier for the face shields, and they appear to be already formed in a curve, which I think is what I need to really make this work without putting a lot of stress on the post's connection.
I think I may go ahead with using JB weld. I'm not too concerned if I use that. I can at least move forward with painting the helmet in the mean time. Worse case, I use expoxie or hot glue to hold the visor in, but I really want to make this work....
**** . I just got two from them and hope I don't have the same problem. One Fettpride lid and one BKBT lid.
You guys do realize there is a really good custom fit visor cut-out and installation tutorial at the top of this thread?? Don't make it more difficult than it needs to be.
Of course! Thought I'd get ahead of the curve with one by T-visor though. Using the tee brad nuts as depicted here, just hoped to save some time by buying a visor I knew would be of quality material, rather than ordering a random part or driving around the ATL looking for a decent welder a visor...
Well, I was able to finally do this. I was close to just using epoxy, but decided to try this again. I made the lower mandible trenches a bit deeper too. Used Devcon this time (like plastic weld) and pretty much submerged the brackets (they're not going anywhere!) but did the same thing for the upper mandibles. I didn't add posts for the end tips of the visor as it was holding pretty strong with just the 4 posts. Need to make a minor repair with one post (upper mandible side), but that's just because the threaded bolt is making it difficult for me to screw the bolt down to tighten it, causing the post to twist further...I could hear it crackling at the post's connection to the helmet. Quick fix though
Can't seem to find brad tee posts like in the pics. All the brad tees I find are nuts with the hole in the middle not the threaded post.....help

Look at Lowes. They are in the flip top bins in bags, quantity of two per bag. kind of a pain to find, and most employees have no clue what they are. You will not find them in the hanging bag area. Flip top bins that are stacked on other flip top bins.
Went to Lowe's tonight, found the brad tee nuts but not the threaded posts. Plus they only had clear visors not smoked ones. Redoing my bucket is proving to have a difficult start. Thanks for the help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Not sure about threaded posts? The brad tee nuts are threaded, then you need screws of the proper diameter to thread into them, along with the visor and required washers. I've been thru several visors trying to find one I like. Just ordered one from cyberweld. A shade 5 visor, .060 thick and precurved. Had a green one at .040 thick I had cut out, and was ok? with the green, but then I got superglue on it and ruined it. Will now serve as a template for the new one though.
Sorry if I am being dumb here. If you are putting the brad tee nut up against the fiberglass how are you getting the visor to flush to the fiberglass as well. Wouldn't there be a gap due to the post?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
The large part of the brad nut needs to be bonded to the inside of the helmet. I would first locate the required holes in the visor, so don't put the horse in front of the cart so to say....
The lowest brad nuts need to be ground down so you have two large flat spots on them, flush with the threaded portion(so they sit properly in the shallow inside of the visor mount area). Also, recommend grinding a little bit off of the inside of the helmet here, but only for these two. This will help the visor to sit flush. The others mount without grinding on the nut or lid. They are pretty thin so any gap between the visor and tee nut would be negligible as you get closer to the middle to upper area. Hope that helps...
This is awesome, I picked up the nuts at lowes today with no problem, guess I asked the right guy!
Nice helmet

highly recommended for budget tires! I was amazed when I first had them on the car, and now they perform still very well in the rain even they have pretty bad camber wear that the inner part of the tire has almost no tread left.
never driven on snow tho
for the price, nothing can beat them.
They are the best all season tires in my opinion.

Have bought plenty tires, these were just as good as any I've used. Quite smooth ride compared to the ones that were changed. Drives like a new car, good in rain with my front wheel drive Vibe. Will let you know for snow but NO tire is good for snow or ice if you ask me it's ALL about the driver then. I paid $58 a tire and $100 to change and balance, very little weight needed. So under $325 for these after install is a steal!!! Will update for snow driving soon. No tire is owned in the USA besides Cooper and not for long for them either, Lots made in USA, but not owned!!! Rotate your tires 5,000-6,000 or you won't get your $ worth for ANY tire!!! Drive Safe out there!!!

Bills released QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The move comes with a staggering $10 million-plus cap hit, but the Bills didn't see the point in moving forward with a player they had publicly lost faith in. Fitzpatrick has the ability to be one of the league's better backups, but proved time and again under Chan Gailey he didn't have what it takes to be a long-term starter, especially in terms of arm strength. He'll be a backup elsewhere in 2013.
Dolphins agreed to terms with WR Mike Wallace on a five-year, $65 million contract that includes $30 million guaranteed.
Browns agreed to terms with OLB Paul Kruger on a five-year, $40 million contract.
It's a generous haul for a four-year veteran with just 15.5 career sacks, but probably not what Kruger had in mind before the start of free agency. Kruger will line up opposite OLB Jabaal Sheard in new DC Ray Horton's attacking 3-4 defense. Kruger's signing leaves Cliff Avril as the lone remaining pass-rushing jewel on the open market.
Broncos signed OG Louis Vasquez to a four-year, $23.5 million contract.
The deal includes $13M guaranteed. The Chargers claimed that retaining Vasquez was a priority, but they never proved it with a contract offer. San Diego let the second-best guard available hit the market and he signed with a division rival. A top-13 overall guard last season according to Pro Football Focus, the 6'5/335 Vasquez is especially effective as a pass blocker. He'll be as asset in the Broncos' quest to keep Peyton Manning upright.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Chiefs reached agreement in principle on three-year deal with former Saints QB Chase Daniel, who played at Missouri.
Titans agreed to terms with TE Delanie Walker, formerly of the 49ers, on a four-year contract.
Chargers agreed to terms with TE John Phillips, formerly of the Cowboys, on a three-year contract.
Phillips is more of a pass catcher than a blocker, but has just 30 catches over 48 career games thanks to Jason Witten. He missed all of 2010 with a torn ACL. Redshirting behind Antonio Gates, Phillips won't make a fantasy impact in 2013.
Titans agreed to terms with OG Andy Levitre on a five-year, $39 million contract.
Bears agreed to terms with TE Martellus Bennett on a four-year contract.
Colts agreed to terms with OT Gosder Cherilus, formerly of the Lions.
The Chiefs have reached an agreement with free agent tight end Anthony Fasano.
Chargers agreed to terms with OT King Dunlap, formerly of the Eagles.

#Vikings lock up @AdrianPeterson's bodyguard: FB Jerome Felton gets a 3-year, $7.5M deal to stay in Minnesota
Chiefs signed DE Mike DeVito, formerly of the Jets, to a three-year, $12.6 million contract.
DeVito, 29 in June, is a one-dimensional run stopper who will replace Glenn Dorsey as a better fit for Kansas City's 3-4.
Ravens agreed to terms with DT Chris Canty, formerly of the Giants.
RT @AlbertBreer: Chris Canty gets $8M over 3 years, with $2.8M guarantee in Baltimore.
Eagles agreed to terms with TE/FB James Casey, formerly of the Texans, to a three-year, $14.5 million contract.
#Raiders LB Philip Wheeler is on his way to the Miami #Dolphins. The deal has been agreed upon. Came right after 4 p.m.
According to Adam Caplan of TheSidelineView.com, the Eagles have agreed with 49ers nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga as well as cornerback Bradley Fletcher.
Louis Vasquez to Broncos: 4 years, $23.5M. $13M guaranteed in first 2 years. 10th paid guard. Protection for Peyton ( @MikeGarafolo was 1st)

Profootballtalk reports the Packers are the "leaders" for free agent Steven Jackson.
Normally, GM Ted Thompson doesn't shell out the cash for players on the wrong side of 30, but Jackson has expressed a desire to play with Aaron Rodgers and could be the missing piece to the offense. Jackson is certainly aiming to latch on with a contending team that has a murky running back situation.

The Bears are reportedly "in talks" with free agent LT Jermon Bushrod.

New Mode: Honor of The Gods[ Edited ]
At Attention Spartans And Trojans!
The Gods Have Spoken, And A New Multiplayer Mode Has Been Granted. (An Idea Only)
This New Mode Consist Of A 4v4. Each Team Having 1 Aligned Respected God (Team 1: Ares, Zeus, Poseiden, Hades) v. (Team 2: Zeus, Ares, Hades, Poseiden.)
The 4 Gods Are Present In The Background In This New Map, They See Everything. But Are Also Active Participants When A Warrior Of Their Allegiance Does An Honorable Action Such As; A 5x Killstreak, 5x Parry Block, Or An Objective Leader In A Match (2500 Favor).
However This New Map Has 4 'Areas' Each To A Specific God. For Example: A Zeus Area In The Map Would Favor A Zeus Warrior Offensive Magic Ability Against A Non-Aligned Zeus Warrior Of The Other Team, Thus An Honor To The God Of That Area Of The Map. Another Example Would Be An Ares Area That Would Enhance An Ares Warrior Physical Attack Ability Againt A Non-Ares Warrior Etc
The Gods Would Each Attack A Non-Align Warrior When 'Activated' By That Align Warrior (As Goldhawk1 Pointed Out, This Attack Of The Gods Would Be Activated When That Align Warrior Taunts In That Specific Area After Completing An Honorable Action In Combat.) For Example: A Zeus Attack Would Consist Of A Bolt Of Lightning That Would Paralyze And/Or Kill A Non-Zeus Align Warrior. An Ares Attack Would Consist Of A Meteor Of Fire That Would Burn And/Or Kill A Non-Aligned Ares Warrior Etc.
By Having Each Team Consist Of 1 Type Of God Each, The Gods Would See If Warrior A (Input Allegiance) Of Team 1 Is Worthy, Or If Warrior B (Same Allegiance As Warrior A) Of Team 2 Has The Makings Of A God. This Would Allow The Gods To Honor That Specific Warrior Of Their Alignment With Enhancements, Such As Specific Magic, Armor, Weapon Upgrades Only Found In This 'Honor The Gods' Mode.
Now The Warrior That Lost The Match Would Have A Final Outlook Granted By That Specific God (Mercy Of The Gods) To Prove Himself On Behalf Of His Defeat Of A Greater Warrior Of The Same Alignment. The Warrior That Did Not Honor His God Would Be Granted A 1 Time Upgrade Specific To His Alignment. To Prove His Worthy In The Eyes Of His God Against The Warrior With The Honor, If He Triumphs Over His Counter Part He Is Given The Honor To Hold His Alignment And Fight In The Name Of His God Against Non-Aligned Gods.
This Would Ultimately Lead To A Battle Of The Four Gods With The Very Best Warrior Of Each Alignment Going All Out To Prove His Aligned Gods Supremacy Over All The Others (The Makings of A God Mode.) Think Of It As The Olympics, The Very Best Train To Compete At Full Capacity Against Others Of Equal Or Greater Ability. This As You Guessed It, Would Take Place In No Other Location But The Peak Of Mount Olympus For All Of The Entertainment Of The Gods Present.
The Victor Would Take Place In Greek History As A Warrior Given Honor Among Gods & Given A Place Among The Specific God They Aligned To. For Example: A Hades Aligned Warrior Who Was Victor In The Makings of A God Mode Would Be Granted By The God Hades A Permanent Ability Of Their Specific Element, Such As The Power To Possess Souls Of Their Foes.
In The Center Of This 'Areas' Map Would Be A Octagon Elevated Platform Made Of White Marble . A Lever Would Be Place There For Both Teams By The Gods, To See Whether The Superior Team Would 'Activate' It By Pulling The Lever For 30 Seconds. Thus, This Would Enable An Enormous Amount Of Team-Work Effort By The Warriors To Guard The Teammate Using All Of His Might, In Pulling The Lever Down To 'Activate' A Godly Intervention Of Favorable Consideration.

Re: New Mode: Honor of The Gods
Kudos brothaman kudos. This makes me want to be da best champ for my alignment. Great idea
Re: New Mode: Honor of The Gods
Cool idea. Just wondering though, if the arena has 4 areas each of which is specific to 1 of the 4 gods, wouldn't that influence players to stay within the area aligned to their god and just wait for others to come to that area? For example, the Ares aligned player staying in just the Ares aligned area so they have the advantage, rather than losing the edge by going to the other areas.
Just contributing to the discussion; this is not meant to be disrespectful of new suggestions.
Re: New Mode: Honor of The Gods
what i think is if anything it would be switched at random. like after 1 minute then on to the next and if you do not switch then either you fall and go to a one hit K.O kind of state or being shunned by that god because you showed you are weak for staying behind and maybe take everything but regular square, triangle, and circle moves. i dont know maybe something towards and its a great idea so it would be cool no doubt.
my eyes see fine in the darkness..
Re: New Mode: Honor of The Gods
I know this will probably sound completely lame but what about something like this?
If you get a 3x killstreak or a 5x killstreak then you win your God's "Favor" and they bless you with a special attack where Ares can throw down meteors but you can call them from anywhere and target where you want them to land provided you have the camera angle. Same for Zeus, although his blessing would be a different attack with a different effect. OR, I think it would be cool if your God gave you the powers of a Demi-God specific to their element or whatever but actually gave you cool attacks and possibly a more powerful and special God like weapon.
Re: New Mode: Honor of The Gods[ Edited ]
I think this is a great idea. But what has been pointed out already?...about the 4 God Areas arround the map? How about the player with the Most kills has the entire Map as their God's theme?
For Example: Lets say i'm with Hades. I have 10 Kills and the most kills in fact, then the map turns purple-ish and i have the advantage. Lets say a Zeus player comes and kills me...He would take all my kills and and my score would reset to 0 and have the Arena be a Zeus theme. Now the only way to get my score back is to kill that Zeus player who has the Stage OR try to get more kills then he does before the time Runs out.
Kudos my friend
Re: New Mode: Honor of The Gods[ Edited ]
If I may, I would like to add some adjustments to the idea.
Instead of Areas there could be map hazards much like the other maps. When thinking about parts of the map where one class does better, each class will want to just stick to the area where their class is best and wouldn't see very much fighting beyond the two warriors from the same class, and it would be a pretty even fight because both warriors would get the same buffs.
Instead what I was thinking was a huge colleseum type map with the god statues sitting on thrones in the background. The appearance of the arena would be much like that of the olympus but the appearance obviously geared more towards combat than presentation. Anyway, every once in a while the camera would tilt up and point to a god and that statues eyes would glow and that class would have a buff for a small period of time.
Whenever a player would gain a combat based accolade (kill streaks, brutal kills, etc), you can tuant as to show your god you take pride in his alliance and the statue of the class will glow and bestow either a buff to that warrior or minor damage to the enemy team. Say you got a brutal kill and you push UP. Ares statue would glow and you would get like a minor speed boost or some damage for 10-20 seconds. Say later you get a 3 or 5 kill streak and you taunt. Ares statue would glow and the floor of the entire arena would start on fire causing the enemy team to get stuck with a DoT. Zeus would make lightning rain down from the sky...and Hades/poseidon would be easier to create ideas for if we knew how they played.
Much like you said about the god aligned character on one team vs the same god aligned character on the otehr team, if the "losing" aligned character wishes to activate the perks they have to first kill the other character aligned to the same god who has gotten multiple perks to make the god he's aligned to to feel him worthy of using his abilities.
Ares rewards -
Brutal kill - 25% strength for 20 seconds
Trap kill - Heal 25% over time.
3x kill streak - 25% strength for 20 seconds and gain 10 health
5x kill streak - Gain 15 health, short fire DoT to all enemies
10X kill streak - Gain 20 health, 25% streangth for 20 seconds, and apply a longer lasting DoT to all enemies
15x kill streak - Add a ring of fire around character applying a long lasting Dot ring lasts 20 seconds, 25% strength for 30 seconds, gain 25 health, Ares grants special magic (spider leg attack from god of war 1) until death
20x kill streak - 30% strength until death, ring of fire around player, Ares throws down a godly weapon.
Perfect match - Next match start off with a 10% strength bonus until death
Zeus rewards -
Brutal kill - increased magic damage for 20 seconds.
Trap kill - decrease cooldown for entire team by 5 seconds.
3x kill streak - Gain 50 magic over 10 seconds.
5x kill streak - Gain 50 magic over 10 seconds and silence all enemies for 10 seconds
10x kill streak - Zeus makes it rain lightning down from the skies dealing small magic damage to all enemies and silencing them for 10 seconds.
15x kill streak - Zeus makes it rain again, dealing medium magic damage to all enemies and gives user a small lightning sheild around the character that absorbs 50 physical or 50 magic damage (meaning, if you hit 25 physical damage and then 25 magic damage it's destroyed)
20x kill streak - Zeus Grants his infamous lightning bolt attack as a spell until death. Bolt would take 100 MP (2 bars, much like other magics in the game) and once thrown it sticks to an enemy and makes them lose control of their character, for 2 seconds it has a vaccuum effect like the Zeus hammer L1 + triangle and sucks in players. The closer you are to the person who is stuck the higher damage it does. If you kill more than one player at once with this spell, taunt for Zeus to grant you 50 magic. If you kill an entire team press up for 100 magic. After 2 seconds the spell will detonate.
Pefect game - Spawn with 50 extra magic.
Essentially this game mode should be a bit longer than the others as most matches seem to go by pretty fast.
Another idea by Metl and I
Whoever is in first place will have the map change according to their alliance. It wouldn't necessarily buff them because it would kind of be OP...if they're good and killing everyone and have god buffs plus the map buffs them too it'll pretty much just be them being all powerful and no one killing them.
Anyway, whoever is in first place will have the map change according to their god alliance. The statue in the back would either glow or move to a certain position like have a hand held out over the top of the arena and it would change according to that gods power.
Hades would make it dark and spooky, poseidon would have pools of water everywhere and be all sea like, Ares would have stuff burning with lots of fire everywhere, and Zeus would have more of a divine look to his map, with white marble everywhere or with lightning covering the map.

Many infants develop jaundice within several days after birth. A baby becomes jaundiced when bilirubin, which is produced naturally by the body, builds up faster than a newborn's liver can break it down and get rid of it in the baby's stool. Too much bilirubin makes a baby's skin and eyes look yellow.
Since drinking breastmilk helps remove bilirubin through the baby's stools, babies who are not breastfeeding adequately are at greater risk of developing jaundice. Jaundice usually either resolves on its own or may require treatment with special lights that help break down the bilirubin.
Feeding more frequently or for longer periods of time to help pass the bilirubin in the stools is almost always helpful. Certainly, there is no reason to stop breastfeeding if your baby develops jaundice of this type. In selected cases, your pediatrician might recommend a formula supplement temporarily.
Occasionally, jaundice lasts longer than two weeks. You can still usually continue breastfeeding, but sometimes your pediatrician may ask you to stop breastfeeding for a day or two. If you must interrupt breastfeeding for any reason, be sure to express your breastmilk using a quality electric breast pump so you can keep producing milk and can restart nursing easily. Your nurse, lactation specialist, or La Leche League group can give you guidance in using a breast pump.

I'm new to beekeeping and at this point I am simply gathering equipment and preparing for Spring 2012. I was inspired this spring by a swarm that took up residence in a large upside down terra cotta pot in my backyard. I called a local beekeeper who specializes in live removal. He was very patient and spent some time with me and the bees before wrapping them up and taking them to his bee yard. The bees had probably been in the pot for a few weeks when I discovered them and had built some beautiful comb. I was very cautious when I first discovered them but they were very focused on their mission and my work in the backyard had not disturbed them in the days prior to their removal. Unknowingly I even ate a banana a few feet from the terra cotta hive with no dire consequences. I then read something negative about bananas and bees but I guess the girls in my backyard didn't read that article. I've had a fascination with bees since my youth when in the 1970's a swarm stopped to rest in my parents backyard pine tree. In scouring the web and reading books I've come across some really good info. I've joined a state club, haven't made it to a local meeting yet but I'm really looking forward to it and finding a mentor. These forums have a wealth of information. Thanks to you all. Happy beekeeping.

I started making my cardboard bucket today. I was able to bend the cardboard by wetting it just a little and then taping it into place.
I started making my cardboard bucket today. I was able to bend the cardboard by wetting it just a little and then taping it into place.
Wha? I wasnt expected that. It looks great.
You made that bad boy out of cardboard?
Damn! looks awesome dude!
Thanks guys! I'm starting the top of it now- I'll have more pics later on. Once I get everything filled in I'll coat it with spackling paste and sand it and then coat it with a clear acrylic before painting.
The goal of this project is complete a decent (as in presentable but hardly accurate) Fett costume by Halloween and not spend any money doing it!
I looked around in my garage and I had some left over sintra sheet from building my MIB blasters, some brown vinyl, a flight suit (unfortunately tan) and a fair amount of cardboard and foam. So I figured what the heck, why not? I enjoy a challenge.....
I'll be posting on a regular basis as this progresses.
I love it, it's cardboard! What a wonderful mind you have...talent, too.
Filling in the top...
That is so freakin sweet! I can just imagine someone asking, "Whoa, where'd you get that helmet?" and you replying "I made it out of cardboard."
Nice work. I wasn't not expecting to see that much craftsmenship when I read cardboard.
that looks awsome I wish I had that kind of talent and once you put that puddy on it and sand it down it should be pretty solid.
Now that is different, I never thought of using cardboard. Looks awesome
Thanks for the kind words! I should be able to finish the dome and get started on the ears today. I can only work on it when my son is taking a nap or after he's gone to bed. It's coming together really fast- I'd bet a helmet could be completed in less than a day if you weren't interrupted. The cardboard I'm using is kind of like a thick posterboard- about 1/16 inch thick. The helmet is suprisingly stiff and strong- that's cellulose fiber for you!
The goal of this whole project is to show that it should be possible for anyone to make a Fett costume with a minimum of tools and materials (and not be financially devastated if it gets damaged by some drunk idiot on Halloween.)
and it should be relatively light, too! (Right?)
your helmet is looking pretty darn good so far. great idea, good luck in finishing it. can't wait to see more pics.
Holy hole in a donut, batman.
that bucket is progressing amazingly :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup
It's looking spectacular so far! I think I can honestly say, "Best cardboard helmet ever!"
Wow, That is really nice! Do you know any place in PA where I could get what you're making it out of?
Dude, it's cardboard. Just make a helmet out of your favorite cereal boxes.
I finished filling in the dome and I cut the visor opening today. I still need to put the slots in the back and make the ears- those will be a challenge to do in cardboard but I'm hoping I can pull it off. I haven't decided what to do about the rangefinder stalk- I might try sandwiching cardboard around some music wire to strengthen it. We'll see....
Oh yeah- it fits perfect! It's amazing how big it is (and it's a good thing as I have a big melon.)
Wow... I'm impressed... I did one of these last year made out of a Pepsi box. It didn't look nearly as good as yours though. I called mine Junko Fett.
that is AMAZING...I will be watching this thread!!
Holy Shnikies is all I have to say. AWESOME dude. Keep us posted!!
That's great man, Hey you gonna actually use a vizor or just use some seran wrap colored with magic marker?
Wow!!! Amazing bucket!!! I love it!

Planned Parenthood's Abilene Perini Center to close for good on Friday
ABILENE, Texas - Planned Parenthood's Abilene Perini Center will close permanently Friday, after providing health services for 12 years. About 2,500 women have received care at the facility annually. Those women might now have to travel hours for the same services. The next closest Planned Parenthood of West Texas is in San Angelo, which is about 90 miles away.
"Unfortunately, with state funding cuts, Planned Parenthood has been hit really hard here in the state," said Carla Holeva, CEO of Planned Parenthood of West Texas.
Holeva said the Abilene office has been hit so hard, that they had to make the decision to throw in the towel. She said employees have been able to find other work, but it's the patients who will have to bear the brunt of the facility closing.
"I think anytime you have to have a change of provider it's not a good thing," said Holeva.
Planned Parenthood's Perini Center will be transferring their patient's files to the San Angelo office unless patients request otherwise. About a month ago, pro-life protesters said they were happy that the facility would have to close.
"There are other places for them to get the other services that the women need here. Except that one service, killing babies," said Paula Matchen, President of West Texans for Life.
Holeva said that is simply not true.
"Planned Parenthood of West Texas doesn't provide abortion services. We provide family planning services, basic family planning, pap smears, breast exams, std testing, pregnancy testing. Does not provide abortion care," Holeva said.
Women who need to find care at another clinic in Abilene can visit Pregnancy Resources of Abilene for pregnancy and STD testing, the Abilene/Taylor County Health Department for pap smears and birth control, or the Alliance for Women and Children if they need mammograms or pelvic exams.

I'm giving votive candles a try for the first time. Based on research I picked up some metal molds, metal votive pins, wick tabs, and #2 (not 2/0) square braided wicks. Unfortunately it looks like the pins don't allow me to feed this size wick through the candles. I've seen some people hang wicks at the top of a candle as they pour the wax, but that doesn't seem like it will result in a straight wick.
Can I have some advice on what to do here? Do I just need a #1 square braided wick (I was told that this may be too small)? Is there a good way of anchoring the wick tab so that I can get a straight/centered wick?
