|Well Willie,
Unfortunately, installing the new longer ferrule has not eliminated the water collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator. I made sure the ferrule was seated as far as it would go. Since I don't have any permagum, I can't put a bead between the drain and the air diffuser access. I wonder if using plumbers putty would work. Although I've never been able to determine if the drain hose was plugged (I poured hot water early on and never heard gurgling sound or had water back up - which made me assume the drain hose was not plugged).
Don't know what else to try next. Don't want to buy a $15 box of permagum to use only a small bead and then hope that this will indeed resolve the problem.

|I think plumbers putty may work, the stuff I use isn't actually permagum either, I got from an Ace hardward store. It putty strips for sealing around windows an stuff I think.

|Well, I decided to use plumbers putty to form a barrier between the edge of the ferrule and the air diffuser hole (see pictures). I placed it under the aluminum flashing. Guess what? I am still getting water on the bottom fridge cabinet.
So, here are all of the things I've tried since I started this post months ago:
Are there any other ideas I can try without resorting to calling for service? I can continue to sponge up the water every couple of days but that gets a bit old.
Let me know.
P.S. I tried to stick a 14 guage electrical wire down the back of the drain hole but it stops at a flat bottom. I don't think the drain hose is directly underneath but rather off at a right angle so there is no way for me to confirm any blockage other than water does not back up when I pour water in the drain hole.

|Did you read or look at those service pages I included????
I see where it looks like you put the plumbers putty on top, (in freezer area between air diffuser channel and defrost drain hole), where did you get the idea that was where to put the putty?????
Again read those instructions and put the putty in the correct place, (on the control housing between the air diffuser outlet and the rear half which is the defrost drain cup area). You have to remove the four 1/4" screws two in back, two in front. Then the control housing will drop down and you can unplug the molex connector and remove the complete control panel/air diffuser/defrost drain cup assembly and do the correct procedure.
Have you checked your door gaskets, it looks like from your one picture the air tower, (the part the fan blows the cold air down, that has the freezer control knob), is all full of ice, usually the only way this gets all plugged with ice like that is a door gasket leak letting too much warm air in or door gets left open, which turns into frosty ice. If that air tower is full of ice and it melts, of coarse water is going to come into the refrigerator.

|Sorry Willie.
I did look at the service page you posted a while back. I just did not recognize what that was or where it was in my fridge. Now that I am reading it again, it does say it is the foam block in the food compartment control box. I guess it didn't register with me the last time. I ended up guessing where to put the putty (in the freezer compartment) and I guessed wrong.
I have now put plumbers putty around the foam block (see picture). I did check to see that all of the door gaskets were tight (putting paper in between the gasket and door and trying to pull out the paper when door is closed). I did this test all around. The gasket is tight.
I will assume that putty around the control box foam block would not prevent water from getting into the food compartment IF the ice in the air channel in the freezer compartment that frosts over melts. Finally, other than leaving the door fridge and freezer door open while I am doing my repairs, the fridge door doesn't stay open any longer than it takes for us to put food in or pull things out.
I will check in a couple of days if I am still getting water in the food compartment.
Thanks again for all of your assistance and instructions.

|You almost have it correct now, but try again. The service bulletin maybe didn't explain to you well enough so you know were the water is going that it's not suppose to.
See the attached picture, maybe this will explain it better.

|Also in the great frozen north , Sears came out with a service tip to put a thin piece of styrofoam between the evaporator and the tower. The piece they supplied covered the whole freezer back cover. This was to help prevent frost from forming in tower and dripping. I also have a little air tank and I give the drains a little blast of air, and then some water. Then , take a look in condensate pan and be sure water is going in proper place.

Well, after monitoring this excellent site for a number of months, I feel like I am starting to get real close to the ultimate solution to my 'water dripping and accumulating' problem with my refrigerator (Frigidaire - Canadian Model TD173CRD3/S.N. 881017123). Over that length of time, I have perused many websites, contacted Frigidaire directly and pondered this problem at length but I still have water dripping down the back of my fridge and under the crispers.
The problem first occurred about 4 years ago and I did the logical and easy thing and pulled out the fridge and cleaned out the drain hose (it wasn't all that dirty except at the very end where it connects to the drain pan at kind of a nipple). That worked for about 2 years when, all of a sudden, the problem returned (or so I thought). I figured that the tube has just 'gummed' up again and so, once again, I pulled out the fridge. However, this time, the drain hose was not even clogged at the bottom and the pan was almost empty of water. Thinking that the plug must be somewhere in the connector coming out the back of the fridge just below the freezer compartment, I took a piece of copper wire and twisted it around in there and in and out. After giving it a good 'go' (but not really seeing any gunk on the wire), I reconnected the drain hose and pushed the fridge back into place. Unfortunately, this time, the problem did not go away.
Subsequently, I started 'Googling' but came up with no definite solution to my specific problem. Finally, after much searching, I came across the following promising statement on the Frigidaire.com website:
"IMPORTANT: IF water is dripping onto the top shelf or running down the back of the refrigerator and collecting underneath the crispers --- SCHEDULE A SERVICE CALL. This condition requires a new part to be installed to correct the moisture problem."
Aha, I thought, all I need to do is call the Frigidaire Customer Service number and they will tell me what part it is I need to buy to solve this vexing problem. WRONG! They insisted on holding me to their recommendation - SCHEDULE A SERVICE CALL. Even after repeated 'dancing around', they said that, in spite of what it says about a new part in their recommendation, they couldn't tell me what that part was - only an appliance service person could do that. GRRRR! Being a logical person, I was/am assuming that they know darn well which part it is and just want to 'Cover Their Arses' (and cost me about $65 in the process). Since then, I have also verified that the water is coming out of the drain cup in the top back of the refrigerator and flowing down the back of the fridge where it then accumulates under the crispers.
So, here I am today - still got water under the crispers (about 4-5 cups after 3-4 days, depending on the outside temperature/humidity). This thread is getting awful close to my problem (don't know who made the Kenmore fridge under discussion but mine is about twice its age, 20 years). Hopefully, somebody out there can 'drill in' on this problem for me, offer clear directions on how to solve it (I'm a pretty handy guy) and we can all get onto something else that is much more fun. TIA

|Sorry dazedandconfused, I can't help you since I've been at this for two months and have still not been able to resolve my water problems.
This is what I have done today. I have put plumbers putty between the foam insert and the plastic housing. I also went a little overboard and put plumbers putty around the bottom of the new (longer) ferrule and every place Styrofoam meets plastic (see pics). I am hoping that this will finally resolve my water in food compartment problem.
I did insert a zip-tie into the drain hose at the back of the food compartment to see if there was any blockage. I did not feel any.
If I still get water in the next couple of days, I will assume that it is coming from the frost melting in the air tunnel from the freezer to the food compartment. Since I have checked all seals in the freezer and food compartment and they are all tight, I don't know what else to do.
I might just have to make it a habit of sponging out the water in the food compartment every week. I will let everyone know if I still get water in the food compartment after this latest fix.
Yes, if I was an appliance repair business, I would have gone out of business a long time ago.

|This is where the air tank comes in handy. When you undo the 4 -1/4 inch screws and remove the control assy. you will see the drain hole. This is where I give it a blast of air. As the water is making it that far the freezer section must be o.k. Good-luck fellow B.C. ite and keep us posted.

Just because your problem is similair doesn't mean it's the same thing. If you Frigidaire is 20 years old then the defrost drain is different then what is being discussed here.
You need to start a new discussion not hijack threads that are ongoing helping someone else, thanks......
Yours being a Canadian model I can't find any info, but from you saying it's a least 20 years old, I can almost garantee you the problem is a plugged up defrost drain cup, (they can start growing some pretty nasty gookus after that long).
And very easy to take care of if your unit is what I suspect it is. Look on the very back wall of the refrigerator section, just below the roof of the refrig behind the air diffuser/air duct. You should see a little plastic white cup plugged into the back wall of the refrigerator.
Carefully with two flat blade screw drivers or putty knife, pry each side of cup out of back wall of refrigerator and clean all the nasty gookus buildup out and your problem should be solved.

|Well Willie, with everything I've done and tried, my fridge is still pooling water in the bottom of the food compartment. At this point I am suspecting the frost buildup in the air diffuser that blows cold air from the freezer to the food compartment. I think that during the auto defrost cycle, the ice melts and drips directly into the food compartment and no amount of putty I put out there will help. The odd thing about it is that I had placed a small plastic food container underneath the cold air diffuser in the food compartment and it stays dry. Yes I have checked the door seals and using my paper test, the door seals seems tight all around. I also don't leave the fridge door open for a long time (unless I forget to close the door - which happens occasionally but rarely.
So, no clogged drain, no water wicking from the freezer drain cup (ferrule) to the air diffuser since I put the putty, tight door seals, new longer ferrule, that's about as much trouble shooting as I can do. Maybe my wife pours water on the bottom of the food compartment every week just drive me crazy.

|Have you poured water directly down defrost drain from top with everything together, (just evaporator cover off), and checked to make sure water is making it's way all the way down to the drain pan on top of the compressor. That's about the only other thing I can think of, a plug in the drain tube somewhere backing up an overflowing the cup under the defrost drain.
So, are you saying when you put the plastic food container directly under the air diffuser outlet it never had any water in it, but there is again water accumulating under the crisper draws?

|I finally heard water dripping in the food compartment from where the control assembly drain cup connects to the drain tube on the back wall. I can only assume that it was plugged. This time, I used a 14 gauge solid wire and poked it down about a foot or so. I didn't feel any resistance that would indicate a plug but that must be it. No I have not poured water (recently) down the drain hose to see if it is plugged further down the line. I wanted to use a turkey baster (which I don't have). I will see if my wire trick works.
One of these days I will find someone who has a baster I can borrow. Don't want to buy one just for this purpose if I am never going to use it again.
It would be pretty sad if it was a plugged drain line after all and I've done everything else but...

|Success report: The upgraded ferrule fix described in this thread worked great for my Kenmore (Frigidaire built) refrigerator, model 253.31622104, that used to drip water into the refrigerator compartment.
Great work on the solution, everyone!

there is also a service bulletin for that tube inside the fridge compartment repeatedly plugging
on some units, forget what year already the insulation did not cure correctly, after time as the foam expanded it kinked that hose and causes it to repeatedly plug
after you do the baster blast post back if it plugs again and i'll find you the service letter, it involves drilling a hole out the back of the fridge and installing a new drain line externally down the back wall of the fridge
oh, duh!!! old post that was resurected

There is "mounting evidence" that the Boston Marathon bombers were involved in the unsolved murder of three men in a suburb of Boston.
Police officials have said that some crime scene forensic evidence was a match to Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers who are alleged to have set off two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon last month, ABC News reported.
The officials also said records of cell phones used by the brothers put them in the area of the murders on that date.
Three men — Brendan Mess, Rafael Teken and Erik Weissman — were found dead in September 2011 in an apartment several miles from the campus of Brandeis University in the Boston suburb of Waltham.
The bodies of the men were found on Sept. 12, but friends believe the killings took place on Sept. 11, which was the tenth anniversary of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. That detail may assume new gravity as investigators probe the Tsarnaev's path to radical Islam.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev knew Mess well but did not attend his funeral despite once referring to him as his "best friend," and participating in boxing and martial arts training together.
The bodies of the three men were discovered with their throats slit and about seven pounds of marijuana dumped on the bodies, as well as $5,000 in cash left behind.
Two of the victims, Weissman and Teken, were Jewish.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police several days after the bombing. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged with using a "weapon of mass destruction" — a charge that could bring the death penalty.
The brothers were identified as suspects after authorities reviewed photos and video taken on the afternoon of the marathon on April 15, when two bombs killed three people and wounded more than 170.
Police may not have focused on the crime's possible link to the tenth anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks because it originally appeared to be drug related.
That changed with Tamerlan Tsarnaev's involvement in the Marathon terror bombing.
"We're eager to pursue any new leads or information," Stephanie Guyotte, spokeswoman for the Middlesex district attorney's office, told the Boston Globe. "It has been reported that [Tamerlan Tsarnaev] knew one of the deceased victims. It remains an open investigation."
The death certificates of the three murdered men say they were killed on September 12, 2011, which was the day they were found with their throats slit in an apartment in Waltham, Mass., just three miles from the campus of Brandeis University.
Friends told the paper that they have always believed the men were actually killed on September 11 because all three men — abruptly stopped texting about a New York Jets vs Dallas Cowboys football game at the same time that evening.
"The three of them were definitely killed on Sept. 11," the relative told the paper. "They all stopped using their cellphones at about eight o'clock that night."
The September 11 link might also shed new light on why Weissman, who was outspoken about his Jewish faith, and Teken, who grew up in Brookline and attended predominantly Jewish Brandeis, were targeted by the killer.

With Chrysler losing money would it be a smart idea?
________________________________________________________________________________"Many fight to get to the top, but the true fighters, fight to be there best."-Some guy.
As far as I have seen, this vehicle will likely die after the next couple of years. Shame too, because if they stretched the wheelbase, and put a more powerful engine or even the Two Mode. They might have a great taxicab to replace the Crown Victoria.We could have our own version of the London Taxicab.
I think Chrysler needs to ceap the PTC
Although some of the wind has been taken out of the PT by the HHR, which is a better car in many aspects, the PT is still a decent, profitable seller.It shouldn't be too hard for them to adapt the Caliber platform for a new PT and I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see that happen.
Follow me on Twitter
Car's with very...um..."stylized?".... designs like that tend to show their age faster and thus sales is a steady slide. The PT may have a couple years left in it but a new vehicle is needed all together. The HHR is by the same designer that did the PT and it shows. I don't think the sales are much better (haven't checked) either. Both need to go away soon I think.
Well don't know about 2007 but according to Motor Trend, 101,000 HHR's were sold in 2006.

Chrysler just recently announced the PT Cruiser convertible is biting the dust.
Please see manufacturer for details.
The PT really needs to go or be re-styled. Looks good new, but they lose their looks not soon after. poorly made and the value has dropped very low because no one wants them. for awhile they were the "cool" car for the old people in the "in croud" but now it seems like dealers cant give them away. I have some friends that sell them and its only weird "pipe smokers" looking at them on their way to a goodwill store to do some shopping
PT Loser needs to go.
You know what? Screw the PT Cruiser...I want a Hornet GLH!

I've been searching for some vintage model kit parts that were used on some Star Wars blasters. During my search I noticed the similarity between the trigger housing detail on the ESB Rebel DH17 and the side greeblie on the Boba Fett ROTJ blaster.
Well, turns out they are one and the same. Flip the Fett greeblie 180°, cut it in half and you get the DH17 greeblie! The reason they don't look identical in the photos is because the model kit part comes in two halves and I couldn't find a good picture of one side, so you're seeing the R side on one blaster and the L side on the other.
From top to bottom. ESB DH17 blaster greeblie, Boba Fett ROTJ blaster greeblie.

There is order to the seemingly ramshackle nature of the whanau campsite at Matauri Bay.
James Tito's place is an old bus - out the front he's got a space for doing the dishes, in his backyard the panorama includes the Cavalli Islands. Two little tarp-covered single mattresses function as sleep-outs. They're good for kids, he reckons, or for mates to sleep it off when they can't drive home.
There's running water and toilets, which may look like longdrops but they flush, Mr Tito says.
He lives here as a protest, has done so for the last 13 years. The Far North District Council, he says, shouldn't be able to say how people can live on their own land.
It's a stunning place, rich in history. The waka Mataatua Puhi was built to pay tribute to the original voyaging canoe that came to rest here. Missionary Samuel Marsden's visit to the bay in 1814, before he sailed on to Rangihoua in the Bay of Islands, is commemorated by a whitewashed Anglican church, named for him.
The Rainbow Warrior was sunken here after its bombing and is a popular dive attraction.
On a clear day the blue-green water can be as calm as a baby's bath - but it can get nasty, the former builder says. When a storm is in full swing and the rain is pouring, the bus can feel like it's an island in the middle of a vast, angry ocean. Get through that and you're fine.
The wind was blowing a week ago: an easterly gusted to 35 knots in the early hours of Saturday morning when a sales office for a Maori land subdivision was burned to the ground.
The 50-year-old was up watching movies and woke his partner, who watched from a distance as it collapsed, orange and red, to the ground. He points to Maori-owned pines which stand like a living palisade high above mown grassy slopes intended for 139 homes.
"We were just lucky the wind was blowing the other way, that nothing jumped. A lot of forestry could have burned down. I think it's terrible."
Later that same morning ex-Labour MP Dover Samuels pointed the finger at locals opposed to the subdivision.
Kerikeri police are investigating the suspected arson. The officer in charge was not available to discuss the matter.
Time will tell whether Mr Samuels turns out to be correct, but what is not at issue is that since 2001, Maori land owners - the bay is one of the longest stretches of privately-owned land open to the public in the north - here have been mired in financial woes.
More than a decade ago Matauri X, a land incorporation that represents more than 400 shareholders in the bay, invested in a failed water company. That was under the watch of former management committee chairman Hemirua Rapata, who did it without the consent of the wider shareholders.
The debt then was $2.5 million.
Two mortgages over 545.7ha of land to two different finance companies totalled $11.1 million before the Maori Land Court appointed an Auckland-based accountant, Kevin Gillespie, as the interim administrator.
A loan was taken out to do a 139-section two stage subdivision. Mr Gillespie told the Herald in 2009, when the development had been on the market for 18 months, that debt levels were at $16 million. At that time only eight of 25 sales had settled, with others trying to pull out of deals which were done on a 52-year-lease term. No homes have been built yet.
Strategic Finance, which went bust itself, took the debts on its books. Receivers PricewaterhouseCoopers and Mr Gillespie negotiated a settlement where the debts would be capped at $15 million, but the debt had to be paid back in four years. The receivers would then release the securities it holds over the land.
Mr Gillespie did not return calls but court papers outline that he will retire from his position to take up a directorship on Matauri Bay Properties, which is responsible for managing the subdivision sale and repaying the loan.
An independent investor who has a 50 per cent stake in the company, Pat Durham, said his single goal was to ensure all the sections were sold so that the land would be mortgage free.
"The Matauri X committee and the shareholders, that's what they live for every day. That's what they pray for every day. And they don't want to see hurdles. They would like a break and they absolutely deserve a break."
He would not confirm how much he invested. Asked if he would profit out of the development, he said there were unlikely to be any "residuals".
His wife had connections to Ngati Kura, which is why he felt strongly about the development and community.
"The Matauri Bay people are brilliant, they're lovely people. I just think this behaviour is not reflective of this community. I've had over 50 phone calls since this office was burned down and they're from all walks of life, they're sickened by it.
"You know it's actually like someone poking them in the eye with a stick and that's not right."
He still believes the subdivision can be a success and says a renewed marketing campaign is likely to get underway this year. There had been a high level of positive inquiry lately, he claimed.
"I don't believe it's going to materially affect Matauri X's ability to have a successful project."
Advertising signs now claim the land is freehold and a website says lots are going for $270,000.
Kawe Rapata, the older brother of Hemirua - who did not return calls - says shareholders know the time is ticking for paying back the $15 million.
The 70-year-old returned home 13 years ago hoping to retire quietly but instead arrived almost right smack into the troubles. Like many of his relations he lives on a little rise and has gorgeous east coast views.
Many older people are saddened by the arson whatever their view may be on the actual merits of the subdivision, he says.
Anxiety levels have also risen about whether the land may be sold out of Maori ownership forever in a fire sale, if the deadline is not met.
"Just because the finance company has come-a-guts doesn't mean we're off the hook. We know we have to pay that debt and we'll use the land that's been developed."
He accepts the nature of the place may change. A Statistics New Zealand estimate of the coastline from Takou Bay, around to Matauri and then up to Taupo Bay says 2740 people are resident in the region. Matauri's population will only be a portion of this.
"We're not interested in flash houses and flash lawns. We just want to live at home. We take the boat out and go fishing, come home, life is simple. Living in luxury is out of reach for [most] people."
There have been unsuccessful moves to remove Mr Gillespie over the years by Ngati Kura whanau members as questions were asked about his powers.
The Maori Land Court too has been criticised locally as paternalistic.
Asked if he thinks those responsible for the arson are from Matauri, Kawe answers indirectly. Many have worked a lifetime and then returned home, a number have never worked, he says.
The Northern Advocate reported last year that Hemirua was among a small group of Ngati Kura opposed to the land sales who have put up signs at the beach warning of wheel clamping if people infringe hapu parking rules and a $200 fee for removal of the clamps.
Kawe is honest about his brother's role in Matauri X's current predicament. It's a subject every Sunday at kaumatua/kuia hui.
"We discuss it all the time ... it's always part of our topic. It's not a subject we really like to talk about but we have to, you've got to, there's no use sweeping it under the carpet. The blame was on him ... [but] the people relented a lot.
"But we [his wider family] don't mind, it's no good dwelling on the past, life moves on."
Back at the beach, Mr Tito says he would love to have built a proper home where the subdivision is. That won't happen but he doesn't begrudge those who might buy at the subdivision.
Mr Tito says while it was a good idea to pay off the debt, the scale of it doesn't make sense to him. He wondered if nine or 10 homes might have paid off the original $2.5 million debt if a subdivision had been put together earlier.
In front of the blackened remains of the sales office stands a symbol of competing ideas of paradise here. A real estate sign shows a man pulling a kayak into a glassy morning sea as the sun rises.
In the top right corner in blue and white lettering it says: "coastal sections for sale NOW."
Black paint obscures some of the rest, making it read: "from $0,000."

Really think corner is going to be at the top of the list next year. Web getting older, TT the only young stud, Ross who knows, Bruce Johnson who knows. That's alot of question at cb

[quote user="Spizi"]I want Noel Devine. I've been following him since highschool, and he is unbelievable. He averaged 18.5 carries a game last year, so you he can take a pounding. Look for him to have another insane year and add to his already ridiculous production.[/quote]Noel Devine is very impressive to say the least. Kid is a baller! McCluster is money, but I think Noel Devine has got a step up on him.
Christian Ponder, FSU, QB- Not that he'll be an option for the Giants but just thought I'd throw his name in there.
[quote user="lawl"]Really think corner is going to be at the top of the list next year. Web getting older, TT the only young stud, Ross who knows, Bruce Johnson who knows. That's alot of question at cb[/quote]
Yeah I think depending on Ross this year the Giants could be looking for a nickel corner early in the 2011 draft
[quote user="tonyt830"]
I shouldnt get too ahead of myself assuming we will be picking late in the 1st--LOL!!!
Pretty sure we can't get him with the 32nd pick []
Randy Shannon has announced Colin Mccarthy will move to MLB for the upcoming season for the Hurricanes. Im a bigtime Hurricane fan and this kid can play. He has good size for the postion 6-3 242 Im expecting big things from him this year. Probably a mid 3rd to 4th round pick
Aaron Ross has been a disapointment to date. I feel like its a possibility the Giants could go corner early in the 2011 draft. The 2011 draft is loaded with the big physical corners that Jerry Reese seems to love.
Patrick Peterson LSU 6-1 200- Peterson isthe top prospect at cornerin the 2011 draft so he will probably be out of are draft range but I think he is fantastic so I want to mention him. Peterson who at his size runs in the low 4.4's is the best corner prospect I have seen in years. I think he is a much better prospect then Joe Haden who went 7. Petersonis a legitimate shut down corner who can physically match up with even the biggest strongest receivers. Player Comparison- Antrel Rolle-Forget Rolle was a bust at corner theyshare a lot of similarities.
Ras I Dowling Virgina 6-2 200- Elite size andcompetitive speed. . He isnt the smoothest corner Ive seen which leads me to believe he could be moved to Free Safety.Player comparison- Malcom Jenkins
Prince Amukamara 6-1 200 Nebraska- A very good man corner who can struggle in zone. Once again an elite sized corner. Player comparison- Corey Webster
A couple other guys
Kendrick Burney NC
Aaron Williams Texas
Omar Bolden Arizona state
Rashad Carmichael VT
Redeyejedi you are right about the UNC defense. It is quite a collection of talent and the young backups will be pros too. I've adopted the Giants as my second favorite team with Nicks there now!
Not that the Giants would be looking at Greg Little...but he is our senior WR and should make a great pro. Huge vertical...snatches everything...runs like a tall RB and is VERY strong.
It doesn't include his great bowl game vs. Pitt, but has some good stuff. Enjoy!
Who is the next year's CJ Spiller? I want a home run hitter on our offense with some sick speed. We are physical but probably slowest group of players on offense compared to other teams in the division. Plus, other NFC playoff teams. Manningham is more quick than fast...and hixon is above average but nothing spectacular.
[quote user="KennyPhilips1"][quote user="Redeyejedi"]
[quote user="IBleedBlue78"]Isn't it a LITTLE too early for this?????????? Who knows how our new picks will fare this year?[/quote]
In case U didnt notice Ive been touching on the spots we didnt address. Im projecting are needs for 2011** LB/C/RB* and next CB and RT. If your not interested U dont have to contribute. I follow CFB and its players so Im informed when the draft rolls around. Im sharing with others, players that I will be watching this coming season and asking*posters to do the same.*Unlike most I watch the games and have my own opinions that are*not formed by reading Draftdog 2 months before the draft*[/quote]
i think we go O-line in next years draft, everyone on our line is over thirty or close to it exception being snee[/quote]
I want a running back with speed please.

Four Hope men's soccer players have been awarded all-region honors by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Senior goalkeeper Marcus Voss of Holland (Zeeland HS) was voted to the first team. Named to the second team were senior defender Matt Margaron of Naperville, Ill., junior midfielder Ed Huebner of Portage (Portage Northern HS), and senior forward Bryant Loomis of Fredonia, N.Y. (Fredonia HS).
All four players were named to the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) all-conference first team as the Flying Dutchmen were league co-champions. The team won a school-record 17 victories advancing to the NCAA Division III regional championship game.
Voss achieved all-region honors for three years and received All-America honors as both a junior and senior. Margaron and Huebner have each been all-region twice.

Sotnikova is nearly seventeen, and should be done growing. She's well-proportioned--long, strong legs, a flexible and lean torso. Her issue is a psychological one that causes her to doubt herself WHILE SHE'S ROTATING A JUMP, which is a fail-safe recipe for disaster.
But I have to wonder if you even watched Tukt at Worlds. Each movement she made, even in her much-improved free skate, seemed painstaking and slow. It almost looked like she was wading through water while her legs slowly gave out with each jumping pass. She hit a high note at TEB, Russian Nationals, and Euros, but it was painfully clear at the GPF and Worlds that she's still struggling with growth.

Taking the Yogathon challenge of 108 Sun Salutations? Train yourself...
On April 7, 2012 about 1.3 million people all over the world took the Yogathon Challenge – 108 Sun Salutations in one session and thousands completed it too. Surya Namaskar, or sun salutation, is a series of 12 yoga postures that energize the solar plexus region. The solar plexus is an important center in the body and is connected to many energy channels. Sun Salutation benefits are immense and its practice is quite well known throughout the world. Yet doing 108 Sun Salutations continuously can be challenging and requires stamina, physical fitness and above all mental resolve and discipline. It is possible and there are thousands who proved it. Here's a recommended routine for four weeks to help you build up to your target of 108.
|Day 1
|Day 2
|Day 3
|Day 4
|Day 5
|Day 6
|Day 7

|Week 3
|Week 4
How Can I Relax My Body After Sun Salutations?
Ensure you relax properly after Sun Salutation practice. Instead of plopping down into a chair, it is better to do some postures to relax various parts of body. Some of the postures you could do are:
Rest Your Muscles And Body Well
- Keep yourself well hydrated. Drink 3-4 liters of water per day.
- Sleep early and wake up early.
- Relax your body during Yoga Nidra. Do not keep your body tight.
- Gomukhasana (Cow face pose) is a great way to relax the arms. This pose is easy to do when your shoulders open up. Consult an Sri Sri Yoga teacher to learn this posture correctly.
- Vajrasana - Sit in Vajrasana to relax your legs. Place your feet beside each other, ensuring they do not overlap. Keep your neck and spine straight .You could either simply relax in the yoga pose or you could do the three-stage and Bhastrika pranayam (breathing technique) followed by Sudarshan Kriya.
- Natrajasana (Dancing Shiva pose) While doing the Dancing Shiva pose remember to keep your shoulders on the ground. Did you notice the stretch at your hips, lower back, abdominal and neck muscles?
- Pavanamuktasana - Lie down on your back, fold your knees and press them with your arms against the chest. Roll in this yoga posture to ease the tension in the back. This is an excellent way to massage the back.
- Yoga Nidra - Lie down on your back and take your attention to various parts of the body. Yoga nidra cools the body and restores it to normal temperature.
With regular effort, you can easily reach the summit of 108 Surya Namaskars. As soon as you start, you can feel the effects of your practice too – increased energy through the day, better digestion, sharpness and focus. With practice, you can figure out what rhythm suits you best. Doing it fast is like an aerobics workout and doing it slow can be meditative.
But the story doesn't end here. Edmund Hillary climbed the Everest, spent a few hours there enjoying the view but eventually had to come down. If you'd like to continue this regimen of 108 Sun Salutations every day, by all means, go ahead. But whenever you feel like stopping, it is strongly advised that you don't stop abruptly. That would be like hitting the brakes in an accelerated car. Just like the journey up was gradual and step-by-step, so should your return. You don't want to crash land.
This is because as you build up pace as your body gets used to vigorous yoga pose practice. Reducing the intensity gradually gives your body a chance to recover from the intense work out and improves the resilience of the warmed up muscles. Here's a recommended schedule for two weeks starting from the day you completed 108 Sun Salutations.
|Day 1
|Day 2
|Day 3
|Day 4
|Day 5
|Day 6
|Day 7
|Week 1
|Take a day off
|42 sets
|Week 2
Sun Salutation is a complete exercise that stretches one from head to toe and its inclusion in one's fitness regimen is extremely fruitful. Yet a little bit of care would help you to experience the full effects of the Sun Salutations. It is advisable that you consult with a certified yoga teacher who will monitor your progress. If you have any physical ailments, do visit a doctor too.

All the best on your journey to good health!

Officers Work Overtime to Find Pueblo Robber
Rash of Robberies in Steel City
PUEBLO, Colo. - At least twelve businesses in Pueblo have been robbed so far this year.
Pueblo police officers believe most of these armed robberies are related. The police department said one to two suspects are behind the majority of them.
The latest robbery happened Wednesday night just before 9 p.m. at a Dollar General store on 609 Pueblo Boulevard. Sgt. Eric Gonzales said most of these robberies are happening on the south end of Pueblo, around Pueblo Boulevard.
So far, no one has been injured. But this weekend police are stepping up enforcement to make sure no one does. At least four officers will be working overtime at night to find the suspect.
"Currently we have detectives working the daytime hours, but these extra officers are gonna be focusing pretty much on the same thing. Following leads, following tips, watching businesses and seeing if we can be in an area if something just happens to be going on at that time," Gonzales said.
Police said the suspect has robbed businesses using different weapons, from a machete and a rifle to a small, black handgun and a shotgun.
In every case, the suspect has fled on foot and no one has seen a getaway vehicle. If witnesses see a vehicle, police urge them to write down a license plate number and contact police.
The suspect is described as a white male, between 25 and 30 years old, weighing between 165 to 175 pounds. He usually goes into stores wearing a hooded jacket, either a black mask or a white ski mask and gloves.

Hello everyone.
I live in Long Beach, CA, in the suburbs of LA. I'm new to all of this, as I just installed my first ever package of bees last weekend. It's been a real blast so far. I see a lot of activity around the hive, and I've been watching them come back loaded with pollen. I just hope the queen is OK, and plan to open the hive for the first time this weekend.
I did have a problem when installing the package. I got my bees from Koehnen & Sons. The feeder can they use has large openings all around the top of the can where you will inevitably need to put your hand to pull the can out. The can got stuck on the bottom lip and was really difficult to get out. With bees flowing out of the top part of the can I could not get the leverage on the can to pull it out properly. The queen cage also was on the cheap side, and there was no candy plug in it. I watched a lot of internet video's of people doing installs, and never saw a feeder can with holes like that in any of the videos.
I know they are a reputable firm, the bees looked great, and they did provided me with excellent customer service, but I don't think I'd order from them again.

I would live to build over our double car garage. Then I could get everything in one room. I we ever had enough money to build our own house my quilting room would be 35' x 40' with a 10' x 10' section for the laundry room.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I would live to build over our double car garage. Then I could get everything in one room. I we ever had enough money to build our own house my quilting room would be 35' x 40' with a 10' x 10' section for the laundry room.
I, too, would go for the bigger room. You will be surprised how fast it will fill up on you. If you have an upstairs, let that be for company. It will be your house so set it up for you & DH. You will also want to consider how long you will be able to handle the stairs. It gets harder every year for me to do the stairs so I have moved a lot of my quilting to the dinning room. I do keep most of my supplies upstairs but only tackle the stairs when I need to switch fabrics. I keep enough downstairs to do at least 4 projects before a upstairs run. Besides, DH would rather I be closer to him. If your downstairs room dose not have a door to hide everything, that would be a good reason to make a quilted curtain to close it off.
My sewing area is in our master bedroom - but keep in mind that my master is something like 24x18. It's a HUGE room and comfortably houses a king bed, a dresser, two bookcases, my desk, a Horn of America Quilter's Dream cabinet that I can open and leave completely open without it getting in the way, a small table for my second machine, a cutting table that's set up at all times, an ironing board also set up all the time, and two end tables by the bed. It may sound crowded but it really isn't, and when I do close down my cabinet and cutting table, it is huge.
That said, I hate it because I am upstairs by myself all the time. If I want to talk to my husband, I have to go downstairs, and I feel somewhat isolated. My 18 yr old son spends a lot of time upstairs in his room when he's home, with the door closed, of course, so that doesn't help. And when he graduates HS in June, gets a job and is going to school and/or leaves home, it will only get worse. I've struggled with what to do about this, because I am lonely up here, and DH will support whatever I decide to do, but the only real place downstairs for me to move into would be the breakfast area. That means we wouldn't have a dining table at all (the formal living/dining is a game room with a huge pool table in the middle of it), and that doesn't bother me overmuch, but my son does sit there to eat when he's home. And the breakfast area isn't all that big ...
If I had a choice of the three situations you offered, I would go with the family room on the main floor. I love my alone time, but in this room, I get a little too much of that. This last weekend, I saw my husband for meals, when I would go downstairs for a glass of water, and about 2 hrs to watch a little tv with him before bed. It was sort of lonely, honestly.
I am a material girl.
I would prefer mine on the main level of the house to be near the family and not so isolated (as others have said). I have a 20x20 space with plenty of room for all the quilting stuff plus an old sectional from the 1950's parked right in front of the big TV. The kids (teens) will often come watch TV with me while I'm sewing. The TV does need to be pretty loud to hear it but they will suffer for me. Mine is in a detached former maid's quarters and I wish it were part of the house. At least it does have a full bathroom so no running back and forth.
This is more than you asked but you are concerned about people seeing it. The easiest way to make it attractive and keep it clean is to not have too much stuff. I have seen some sewing/craft rooms that look like a bad closet and it's a whole room. Mine has looked like that in the past but I made the choice to have a nice attractive room and keep it clean and it's such a joy now. I still need to work on mine more and get rid of more stuff and it will be even better. I usually work on one project at a time. I have to force myself because it's not in my nature. I also force myself to clean up after each quilt is finished. Again, it's not in my nature to keep it clean - it's something I decided to make myself do and it's totally worth the effort. There are very few times I would be embarrassed because it is a mess.
Good luck!
If you know you are going to be a life-long quilter, then you're going to need a set-up that can grow with you because expand is the name of the quilting game.
First thought...have a basement or 3 car garage for the day that you'll decide you need a long arm. Be sure it's a pleasant place to be.
Now... you need a good cutting surface with room to spread, a sewing surface deep enough to push a quilt around on, a free wall for a design board (that's imperative!) and another wall for stash storage (so something like tall bookcases with doors to close and hide the fabric.)
You can actually use a door and two filing cabinets for cutting and ironing, as well as filing patterns, etc. The main thing is you need SPACE to walk, move easily between your cutting table, sewing machine and ironing board. If you settle for a closet area it will end up becoming very frustrating.
And you won't like being upstairs and away(loft.) I had my own sewing room upstairs away from the family and I literally didn't sew for two years...just didn't like being so isolated.
So, while you're lucky enough to be able to "shop" this for yourself why not sketch out some sewing areas on graph paper and get an idea of just how much space you need? I am in a 12x12 BR and I have a very efficient space but I would BLOW out the wall to the next bedroom and spill over if my husband would let me. Good luck and keep us posted.
I am in a converted 2 car garage that is attached to the house. I love it!!!!!!!
I have a lovely quilt room BUT if I were to move, I'd make sure I had these things:
1. Lots of windows for natural light (I currently have no windows. I spend probably 16-20hrs a week in that room because I have a longarm quilting business. I have my every day sewing spewed all over the kitchen - hubby loves that, not! lol). I don't care what anyone says those SAD lights & those light bulbs that duplicate natural light, don't cut the mustard!
2. The more space, the better! (mine is currently about 14' x 16' and altho it IS a lovely space, I never seem to have enough room *giggles*).
3. More built in storage! I have two fantasticly designed closets and some nice cupboard space; BUT you guessed it, I want more!
4. More outlets!
5. Tile floor. (I have carpet and it's a pain in the arse to lug the vacuum up & down the stairs... Oh and the stairs hardly ever get vacuumed lol Guess I could get a 2nd vacuum cleaner.)
With all that said the priority is WINDOWS!!! My space really would be perfect if only I had windows.
I have a room in my basement. (I know, no natural lights! ) I have a fantastic light system and lots of space and a great set up. There is a chair lift that goes down to the space. My basement is basically split into two parts - 1/2 for me, 1.2 for a computer play room and storage. My 1/2 is split into 2 parts - 2/3 sewing, 1/3 pottery. The sewing is 22 x 13, all drywall and painted a lovely green with floors that look like hardwood. Plenty of room for old and new machines, lots of storage thanks to some built ins, a couple great cutting/ironing tables and best of all a bathroom! My husband spends most of his time on that computer, so I might as well be where he is. His room is about the same size - expect he shares it with my granddaughter's toys. I love that I can shut the door and leave everything out and walk away and not have to throw everything into boxes and hurry to pick up the way I did before I had my own place to sew.
I have 2 small bedrooms dedicated to sewing. I have what I need, not near what I want. It is cozy and serves my purpose in the quilting and sewing world.
In my dream world I have a 4x the space. Room to walk around a wide cutting table (Mine now is 48 x 60, but attached to the wall at 48" end. I wanted 5'x5' when we redid it last weekend, but I gave in on that foot in order to stand in front of the ironing board!) Room to have my extra large ironing board away from the wall and plenty of room to walk around it. Room for storing bolts of batting properly and easily managed. An area set up for embroidery, one for serging, one for piecing, one for quilting. A large design wall. An area to display what I have finished. An area for designing and displaying books. An area to put all my fabric and notion cabinets together. Separate area for cabinets of yarn and other crafty things. Proper lighting and windows throughout. Enough outlets without having to use extension cord. Wall space for a tv that can be seen from all sewing chair areas. Place for a microwave, coffee pot, a red retro popcorn machine, and a mini fridge. A bathroom close by. Room for my doggies to lay around and visit often.
I would do this on the lower level. I would think that the weight of it all probably isn't best suited for a loft or above the furnace or a spare bedroom, as I also want a frame someday. I wouldn't want any overnight guests to hear the humming of the machines, as there is midnight sewing.
My sewing is out of eyesight for anyone coming over. I prefer that. I don't feel the need to put anything away when I am in the middle of something and I would certainly forget what I was doing if I had to do that. If you had a large empty basement, think of the possibilities!
Many homes have a large room over the garage. That size would be perfect.

My opinion is that if you are in an area where you can catch wild swarms that are from naturally swarming, healthy bee colonies, then try the treatment free small cell method.
If these are unavailable to you, that's a sign that your bees are going to have big problems if you don't treat.
My feeling is that, on another forum which shall remain unnamed, many beginners start out idealistically thinking that they will be treatment free with their new package bees. At first they ask many questions, then after awhile they are not heard from again. Draw your own conclusions.

Anyone watch this? Sorry if it was already talked about but I finally got around to seeing it yesterday; had it DVR'd.
Tuna landed at #7. Thought that wasn't bad, surely there are some great coaches in NFL lore...but I had a feeling the list would be bull**** when they gave their reasons as to why he is so high: he didn't really do a lot in Dallas.
Seriously? With head case Jethro calling the shots there, you're going to pin all those foibles on Parcells? You also had that Philadelphia pinhead (Forget his name) saying that the reason why Parcells was so successful was because the Giants drafted great players.
Okay...and when he took over the Jets and Patriots, they had the same amount of standout players like the Giants had?
Whatever, let's see the rest of the list.
#6, I **** you not, Cowher! Bill "I spent over a decade with the same team and all I have to show for it is 1 Super Bowl victory" Cowher.
#5 - #4 - George Allen and Marty Schottenheimer. Guys who reversed the fortunes of the teams they coached, but were highly anemic when it came to the playoffs.
#3 Even worse, Jon Gruden!

Okay, here's the deal. I am on the very cusp of getting my wife to allow me to have an observation hive in our house. This has been several months of back and forth banter to get to this point and she's oh so close to saying yes. She has some serious concerns about the safety of our three Yorkie's that we let run around in the backyard. I've tried to convince her that the bees (once they leave the hive) have absolutely no concern over the dogs and are quite content to be visiting flowers for nectar and pollen. The entrance will either be drilled straight through a wall on the second floor to the outside or through a second story window so the dogs will have absolutely no access to the entrance of the hive. If anyone could chime in with their personal/professional opinions on this and perhaps even share some stories to assuage her fears I would greatly appreciate it.
This is the type of hive I intend to build: http://www.bonterrabees.com/swingviewmodel.html
Many thanks!

Excerpt: "Chris Ault, architect of the pistol offense employed by the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks and others, says a team without a running quarterback can still use many of the concepts.
Could the New York Giants run some of the newly-popular -- and wildly successful -- pistol offense, even with the slow-footed Eli Manning at quarterback? Chris Ault, architect of the pistol, told NFL.com on Tuesday that teams with non-running quarterbacks -- like the Giants -- can certainly implement parts of the pistol running attack.
"They could run the pistol formation," Ault said Tuesday on 'NFL AM.' "They don't need to run the read part of it. When we first put the pistol in, in 2005 and 2006 (at Nevada), that's all we ran. We ran the power, the gaps, the counters, the zones, the outside stuff. We did not run the read at that time. So, the pistol offense, the most important thing there, is you can run any offense you've been running. And this is how we created it, and then we advanced the pistol run game -- the read part of it -- two years later." Read more...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
POW Alpha GTX Glove Review
Hey! Firstly, I've never done this (review) before, and the review isn't complete. But I'm so excited to have them so I thought I'd share it!
I will be amending the review in 14 days time, as I'll have at least 7 days on the gloves in Queenstown, between -5 and +5 celcius. So we can see how they initially stand up in the weather. This is just first impressions, etc.
This is basically a follow up to this thread: http://www.snowboardingforum.com/out...oves-best.html
I was on the quest for, in my opinion, the glove of gloves. Not too big, with Gore-Tex and preferably leather and some sort of quality lining.
After being shot in the direction of the POW Sniper, I got talking to a POW Rep about their new 2013 line and found myself with a pair of POW Alpha GTX Glove's - which aren't even released yet =D Their technical info can be found here: POW Gloves
More Photos & Blog:
Monkey Gone Wild | POW Alpha GTX Glove Review
First Impression?
Awesome! When you grab them you feel like you're picking up a nice Leather boot from Bally, perhaps too nice to plow through the snow and ice, but at the same time you know they're built tough even if they feel squishy.
That question you ask yourself when you get something extra special; like a new Desmo or Panigale from Ducati, do I take it and hammer it as hard as I can, or do I respect what it can do and ride it casually? You know what you should do, and you know what you will do – its just that naughty, guilty feeling you get when you know you're going to take something lovely and put it through hell. In short, can't wait to see how they fair in sub zero! (Will report back in 2-3 weeks after I get 14 days plus on them)
The POW Leather is soft, I can't stress that enough, it feels like it came from a baby lamb as opposed to a veteran bull.
Now, since all I have is marketing material, it doesn't say where anything actually came from, but again, if you refer to their product release statement it says the Leather is a combination of Goat and Oiltac Dragon by Pittards. It will require treating though, so anyone lazy shouldn't really bother with a leather glove anyway. I've heard everything from waxing once every 1-2 days, all the way up to once a season. Probably the best advice was 'when they're dry'. I'll follow that haha.
Since they're Black, any darkening of the leather from waxing or water and snow will be near invisible – in the words of a wise rep: '[You'll]be the first person on the slopes to have a dark black!' … I laughed anyway LOL.
Fit & Lining
In terms of fit, its perfect. When you tighten up the Velcro they feel pretty well snow-tight. Personally, I do have some concern that it mightn't be a tight seal, but thats more to the fact this is my first pair of non-gauntlet gloves, and the lack of some extra material gives me concern.
They're lined with Gore-Tex inserts and Primaloft insulation, however, it was mentioned that the liners for these would be NZ Merino Wool – its actually a micro-fleece. Now, whether or not the Merino is buried in a layer between the insulation and fleece I'm not sure, not prepared to cut the gloves open for a look either! But, just so you know, it doesn't look like the Merino made it into them.
It is worth noting they're insanely warm. My reason for seeking out these gloves was because I hate Mitts and have terrible circulation in my arms/hands/fingers. Even dry on a 0-10 degree (celcius) day my fingers could turn water to ice. I'm truly confident these should do the job in keeping them warm! We'll find out anyway when I hit Queenstown, New Zealand for a 1 week trip from the 28th June! Should be a great break-in!
YKK Zipper and Wrist Leash
Well, the Leash is straight forward. Its a leash. Loop it to the glove and around your wrist and you shouldn't really lose them on a chairlift unless you're too lazy to fit them in the first place.
The Zipper I'm quite happy with, perhaps a little bigger would have made it easier to pull it open and shut with gloves on, but in terms of the fluidity of the zip and its protection to prevent dirt, grit and grime getting into it, they're well designed.
There were problems with their previous zippers breaking but they think they've got it fixed on these and I won't argue it entirely – they feel a lot smoother than the Sniper gloves when I tried them; I guess I'll only really be able to provide feedback on this after some use, so I plan to update this post in a few weeks after I put 7-14 days on them and see if anything changes.
Final Word
I know that so far I've said these gloves are a pretty awesome piece of kit – so know that I have no association with POW and I paid in full for these myself. If you have any questions or something I should know, or would like any additional photo's let me know and I'll try my best to accommodate!
Give me feedback?
If people like this style of review, or if I should change something up let me know please, I've bought a Dakine High Roller and a Thunder bag from North Face which I might do a review on if people are keen? I have three separate one week long trips this season, 2 down to QT, New Zealand and one somewhere in Victoria which hasn't been arranged yet (snow season begins when it feels down here). So I plan on posting heaps of photos of those trips and blogging them anyway

2014 Mercedes E63 AMG to get 550 HP and 4MATICSources have informed WCF that the upcoming 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is going to come as standard with 4MATIC all-wheel drive and will develop 550 HP (405 kW) without the optional Performance Package. It will be able to perform the 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) sprint in 3.4 seconds. The current E63 AMG with its rear-wheel drive configuration produces 525 HP (386 kW) and accelerates from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.3 seconds.
Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. On one hand, there's something about the way a huge power RWD car makes you battle it for control. On the other hand, this should make the car technically better. Too bad they can't just do the sensible thing and make it an option.
------------------------------You can have an opinion, just be prepared to be relentlessly mocked for it.Warning: This post may cause cancer in the state of California.
Panamera Turbo hunter!I agree that it should be optional.BTW, there were AWD M5 rumors but it hasn't happened. Maybe this will help.
sounds like fun!!!!!!
It should be an option. BMW will play up the "fun" factor and such. There is a reason Audi has always been all back of the bus; it's because RWD is more fun.

Hello, what a wonderful forum, Im really learning a lot. This is my first year as a beekeeper and I have a couple of questions if you dont mind. I only have one beemax hive body for a 3# package we bought last April.
Im not sure how much honey they have so I started giving them some 2:1 sugar syrup a few weeks ago. They were going thru a qt a day but theyve really slowed now, maybe 3/4 of a qt in 4 days now. Should I keep giving the syrup to them as long as theyre taking it?
When should I start giving them 1:1 sugar?
I bought a medium super to add to it but Im not sure when the best time to do that. Ive also read that 2 hives would be better, so I wonder if I should try to start another hive instead or just wait until next year?
Im in No. Cal, zone 8. Some of the bees are active during the day, a few sometimes have a little bit of pollen when they return.
Thanks for any advice, sure appreciate it.

I am working on my jumpsuit using tips from the Mandalorian Blueprints, but the dimensions that site gives for the thigh and shin pockets seems really small.
Mandalorian Blueprints:
I have cut out the pockets and have started to sew them onto my jumpsuit, but like I said they just seem small. The Paterson Squeegee that I plan on modifying using BBs tutorial, will never fit in the shin pocket if I use the sizes above. What are the dimensions and/or template you have used? Any other suggestions would also be helpful.

The series ended controversially with Alicia getting slapped by her one-time friend Diane after Alicia humiliated Diane and her husband in court. The Kings said they wanted to end the series with a slap, just as it had begun with Alicia slapping Peter for cheating. In other words, Alicia had become as conniving as her husband.
