Jak 4 concept art
Im guessing that's supposed to be Daxter? Not bad
Re: Jak 4 concept art
also, heres the keynote its from
Re: Jak 4 concept art
i prefer NOT, after all this years they rebooting the series would crush me, sell Jak and Daxter to insomniac and let them make a true sequel, they still didnt run out on ratchet and clank ideas, i think the could make something really awesome with jak and daxter
Re: Jak 4 concept art
Honestly this conecept art looks bad. Jak looks weird and Daxter looks like some kind of weird animal with goggles. Also one small thing. I don't think this is Jak 4 art. I think its concept art from the cancelled Jak reboot which explains the bad concept art of Jak and Daxter.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thank you for the tutorial. I bought boards just yesterday in anticipation of organizing my stash. Beautiful fabric stash by the way, and cute dog (I have two of those).
I called around to sign shops and asked for scraps. Some I paid for, lots were free. Took a couple months to get enough but I am nearly finished and my daughter is waiting for my left overs.
One individual shop owner said she would order some sheets for me next time she orders and even cut them to a manageable size for me. I got loads of scraps from her for 10.
My sewing room never looked so good. I have 2 old pattern cabinets from a fabric store, they have metal rollers and are 24 inches deep, even have the dividers still in them. I have my boards 2 deep front to back and I just roll out the drawer color I want. WONDERFUL!!! After those 8 drawers were filled I have 2 shelves filled on a bookshelf. Sure beats heavy plastic containers having to be lifted and plowed through and then lifted back to the shelf.
I really like the boards from the dollar store and make your own but I did go on and order comic boards, acid free, the other day and only paid $11 on sale for 100, bought 300 good deal and all set for me to start.....

Are you sure these pics were taken in your quilting room? Looks more like the shelves in a fabric store! LOVE your fabric selection and how wonderful to be able to stand back and see exactly what you have in stock. Thanks for the lesson in folding fabric. Will be glad when I finally get shelves in my room so I can get the fabric out of the clear plastic bins. Argh!
Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
Wow!!!! What a great way to organize your stash!!! I am just so inspired and new to quilting. What a beautiful and well orangized room to create.
Thank You.

I am sure...Mr. Palin can take care of the kids...

BUT HE IS NOT!!! Where did you get the impression Todd Palin is at home with the kids?

By all accounts...he is very active in his wife's administration (hence the whole trooper issue) and is an operations manager with BP. He formerly was a contract negotiator but, was pushed to operations to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest.

Last thing...that poor gum chewing hockey player who now (pardon the pun) is screwed. Bet you he votes for Obama so he can disappear!

Nice looking truck, I didn't know there was a fire fighter edition. Here in CA we use red lights for the fire dpt, blue is law enforcement. Looks good.
Sweet looking Colly. Is the block heater stock or did you add it?
Thanks for the compliments and the block heater is stock....
Wow, looks great. Nice backdrop too.
The only thing its missing is some axe racks over the rear window. Probably not a good idea anyways. IS that your house?
Nice truck. Really like the light bar.

California City Seeks Substantial Surveillance Capability
A development community is advertised as the ideal place to raise a family because of extensive surveillance technology, security checkpoints, and other policing strategies.
By Rodney Bosch · March 19, 2014
LATHROP, Calif. — California residents from across the state are flocking to a development community that has been advertised as the ideal place to raise a family because of extensive surveillance technology, security checkpoints, and other policing strategies, according to a report on the RT news Web site.
River Islands is a 5,000 acre plot here in the northern region of the state. According to the article, titled "Like a Fortress: CA Development Promises Security and Surveillance," developers have spent more than 25 years struggling to overcome legal hurdles, economic downturns and regulatory obstacles attempting to begin construction.
When the project was finally approved late last year it was like any other suburban development in the U.S., aside from the imposing security system that city officials plan to enact.
The still-under construction River Islands community is surrounded by waterways and accessible only by four bridges, according to the article. Steve Large of CBS Sacramento reported that each bridge will be equipped with fiber-optic video technology that will scan each license plate and compare it to a Department of Motor Vehicles database of stolen vehicle records.
Police also plan to employ one-way speakers to communicate with the public. Video operators can use the loudspeakers — which are deployed sparsely in open areas that tend to attract crowds after closing at night, such as public parks — to warn individuals or groups that they are trespassing.
You can read the full article here.

It's value is not really added to or subtracted from by being a police issue gun. Some collect the P.D.s and may pay more others will not own one on a bet. Most of the issue pistols are sound and good shooters but tend to be a bit holster worn and carry scared, for Myself I like them.

About Town
There aren't many communities west of the infamous San Andreas Fault north of San Francisco, but the town of Bolinas, California, is one of them. It's actually located on a completely different tectonic plate from the rest of the state; even the vegetation is different across the dividing line. This peninsula is one of the area's best-kept secrets—and people here want to keep it that way.

Hello, a new guy here who's interested in Fett like all of you guys. I was interested in getting a suit and it looks like this is the best place to start.
Hello, a new guy here who's interested in Fett like all of you guys. I was interested in getting a suit and it looks like this is the best place to start.
well you came to the right place. There's plenty of scratch build threads, for the stuff you wanna make entirely by yourself, there is our gallery with extensive pics of Boba and Jango form the film clips and exhibitions.
If you wanna buy stuff, the cargo hold is where you wanna be! You can buy armor kits (unclean, straight from the mold) and clothing all the way to having someone make the whole thing for you (though that is much more expensive). I would recommend researching various vendors first (ie; Redkraytdragon, Dark-Side, Mojo-Fett, Fettpride, Bobamaker, Asok, the list goes on...). Some vendors are better at specific parts so it pays to look the merchandise over to know what stuff you like most!
Welcome to TDH by the way! Hope you find what you're looking for!
Welcome, here is the best place to get info and all advices to create your costume!!dont worry ask all you need and everybody here gonna help you!!!!!!!!!!!

A real tyrannosaurus right here on TDH!!!!!! That's amazing!
Welcome, and this is definitely the best place to gather info on all things Boba.
Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Looks like the cargo hold is where I want to start. I guess it's time to start posting more.
The cargo hold right! but remember the real experience is build a costume!!!try to get in forums to have the best info, here we are to share our passion BEEN A BOUNTY HUNTER!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 6 more posts to go. That's awesome looking Jango you have SNOWAURE.
I hope this doesn't sound mean or rude to anyone but I think my best bet is to buy an already complete suit. I don't have the talent or skill to made a suit that is of decent quality. So guess if anyone on here wants to sell their complete ROTJ Fett (I really prefer ROTJ over ESB) please send me a message. Thanks
A lot of it depends on just how accurate you need it to be. If you're not too particular about it being 100% screen accurate (but still a very good Boba suit), you can piece things together and end up with a good result for a "reasonable" price. If you are aiming for screen accuracy and 501st approval, I'd suggest buying the best you can, including a full suit if you have the funds. Buying something that's "good enough for now" that just has to be replaced a year later gets expensive!

SECAUCUS, N.J. -- Panasonic announced the launch of the LUMIX FX78. This digital camera, which is part of the LUMIX FX series, features a new Smart Touch operation on the large 3.5-inch 16:9 aspect LCD, allowing for intuitive touch operation, including Touch AF, Touch Zoom, Touch Shutter and Touch Playback, the company reported. The LUMIX FX78 also incorporates a new LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMARIT, 24mm ultra-wide angle lens that has a 5x optical zoom with F2.5 aperture.
The LUMIX FX78's Smart Touch Screen allows for the Auto Focus (AF) to be set by simply touching the subject on the LCD and a touch can even release the shutter, the company reported. Once locked on the subject, the LUMIX FX78 tracks the subject with the AF tracking function even if it moves. With the Intelligent Scene Selector in the iA mode, the FX78 automatically switches to the appropriate mode according to the subject touched.
"With its super-bright and wide-angle lens, the LUMIX FX78 is a high-performing digital camera that excels in image quality, producing exceptional full-HD videos and still photos," said David Briganti, senior product manager imaging for Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "With the new touch-screen operation, the FX78 is intuitive to use and allows the user to take a photo, track a subject and even touch-up a face with just the touch of the finger."

I did it by the book. I'm using a hive top feeder and while I made my best effort, some bees are probably still in the sugar water and will die. Should I worry about it or just go out tomorrow and remove them then?
Also, I think I squashed some bees putting the feeder on. Again, I tried to brush them off but the are quick. :(

We have adapted the traditional Scandinavian stuffed pork loin roast to use the far leaner tenderloins.

Serves 8
Prep Time 75 min
Total Time 165 min.
Step 1
Combine prunes and Madeira in a saucepan; bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat; cover and set aside. Let the prunes plump for at least 1 hour. Drain, reserving the prunes and Madeira separately.
Step 2
Lay one of the tenderloins on a large cutting board. Steadying the meat with one hand, place a slicing knife along a long side of the meat. Keep the blade parallel to the board and cut through the meat, stopping short of the opposite edge so that the flaps remain attached. Repeat with the remaining 3 tenderloins.
Step 3
Working with one tenderloin at a time, open up the flaps as you would open a book. Cover with plastic wrap. With a meat pounder, rolling pin or heavy pan, pound the meat to an even thickness of about 3/8 inch. Repeat with the remaining tenderloins. Discard the plastic wrap.
Step 4
Overlap 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a work surface to make a large rectangle. Set 2 of the flattened tenderloins on the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping them along a long edge, to form a rectangle approximately 8-by-13 inches. Leaving a 1-inch border at each end, place 10 of the prunes, in a row just to one side of the overlap. Beginning with a long edge, roll the meat as you would a jelly roll, using the plastic wrap to assist and lift in the rolling. Tuck in the ends as best you can, and use butcher's twine to secure the roll with crosswise ties at 1-inch intervals. Repeat these steps with the remaining tenderloins.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Step 6
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add one of the tenderloin roasts and brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large rack set over a baking sheet. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil to the pan, brown the second roast and transfer it to the rack. (Do not wash the pan—you will need it later to prepare the sauce.)
Step 7
Roast the pork until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 150° F, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 8
While the pork is roasting, chop the remaining 4 prunes. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan used to brown the meat and heat over medium-high heat. Add shallots and the chopped prunes; cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the Madeira left from soaking the prunes and bring to a boil, stirring to loosen any browned bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. Boil until almost all the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in broth and boil until the sauce has reduced to 2 cups, about 10 minutes. Strain the sauce through a sieve into another saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Step 9
Stir together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Whisk into the sauce and cook, whisking, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
10. Remove the twine from the roast tenderloins and carve into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange on a heated platter and serve with the sauce.

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Lesley's Expressive Therapies program worked in conjunction with Boston's Emmanuel Episcopal Church to present a public forum that promoted healing through artistic expression.
Traditional psychotherapy relies primarily on exploring one's emotional landscape through the medium of words. But for many people, words do not always suffice. By bringing an understanding of all the arts—music, visual art, dance, drama, poetry and literature—into the therapeutic environment, therapists help people find ways to "say" what's on their minds and begin to heal from traumatic experiences.
The Boston community had much need of healing in the weeks after the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, as people in the city and around the country mourned those who had died and cheered the recovery of those who were injured. The public distress, which spread in concentric circles from the marathon finish line into city streets, was keenly felt by congregants of Boston's Emmanuel Episcopal Church (located just blocks away from the bombing site) and by students and faculty of Lesley University's Expressive Therapies program. Together, they created "When Words Are Not Enough," a public event last month to support the community's efforts toward healing.
Expressive Therapies, a field that was pioneered at Lesley, combines a thorough clinical understanding of trauma with the creativity of the arts to "help people process and begin to make sense of their emotions," says Mitchell Kossak, associate professor and division director. "They provide a vehicle for people to tell their stories, to be heard, and to receive empathy," he says.
"When Words Are Not Enough" drew about 80 people to Lindsey Chapel at Emmanuel Church on Newbury Street. Participants ranged from Emmanuel congregants, to Lesley students, to members of the public, all of whom were invited to make prayer flags. These traditional Tibetan banners are often strung along mountain ridges and peaks in the Himalayas to promote qualities such as peace and compassion. It is believed that the flags, which flutter in the slightest breeze, carry blessings into the surrounding environment. One hundred of the prayer flags were strung together at the church and delivered to the memorial site at Copley Square by a group of participants who sang "Nobody's Gonna Take My Peace From Me" as they walked.
Boston-area community leaders also reached out to Lesley's Expressive Therapies program, including the office of Massachusetts State Representative Linda Dorcena Forry, who represents Dorchester—home to 8-year-old marathon bombing victim Martin Richard. As a result, Lesley-trained arts therapist volunteers, including alumna Heidi Katz, worked with the Dorchester Arts Collaborative to provide grief therapy to young people affected by the tragedy. Their efforts helped neighborhood children to draw, dance, and drum as a way of helping them give voice to not only their anxieties in the wake of the bombing but also their resilience.
The Emmanuel Church-Expressive Therapies event was a great success, says Kossak, and he explains that the church had approached Lesley about initiating a joint project before the bombings. When the marathon tragedy occurred, the resulting confusion and grief in the community galvanized the development of "When Words Are Not Enough."
"People who have been through trauma like the Boston Marathon bombings, even those who were not at the marathon finish line, continue to heal emotionally," Kossak says. "When you get them in a room with a trained arts therapist doing activities such as singing songs, writing poetry, and making music, it helps relieve their stress and it gives them hope."

For translation I need some time,even is slovenian simmilar to ours, it's not so small text. I'll see later. For pouring bees into hive is some as You say "adapter board" which you put when open the door and so the bees don't fall on the ground. The holders goes into the hive and plate with some edge on a sides is in front of You. So when need to brush off the bees from frames or so it is helpful. But some beekeepers don't want to bother with it ( it slows them)..
Still didn't found the book, sorry..
Forgot to see this board, type in google picture search " sipalnik" or " sipaonik". It's simple to make.

Thank you very much for your time Goran, I kind of assumed that use after seeing bostek's video. Now I am just trying to gather information on tools and techniques for this type of hive.

What I know I will try to give objective info without make-up. Now is winter, in spring I may be more in chance to picture some AŽ grom at my place. Now we are all busy in a " workshops", preparing woodenware, planning, reading, etc.. I believe same as You.
All the best..
Thank you again for your support. Inside pictures of how things are positioned inside a bee house would be very helpful, and Spring will be fine.
Thank you again.
Update: If anyone knows of YouTube videos showing the AZ hives or the bee houses they are built into please share them, assuming they have not already been shared in this thread. Thank you.

If you are interested in purchasing one already built, try Logar in SLovenia. Nadja is very helpful and speaks English very well. The cost of the hive is $240 (20 frames) but the shipping is about $195. Also the foundation is different size than Langstroth and is thicker so you would have to rig something up or go foundationless. I am thinking of purchasing one if I can solve this problem.
Really interesting pictures in this article. I love the ones of the truck....Bee Vacation Time......
I just successfully ordered a AZ hive from Logar. Email to email@example.com.
She is very helpful and speaks English well. The cost with shipping is about $400. I paid for it using Western Union online which converted the currency. If you have any questions you can email me at email@example.com
Hi Goran:
I just purchased AZ hive but have not received it yet. Can you further explain how you install a package of bees into the hive? I am wondering if I can just remove 4-5 frames and put the box in but still have to figure out where to put the queen. Perhaps suspend the cage between the tops of two frames? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Logar in Sencur Slovenia has AZ hives for sale
I hope you are still on the forum and still using the AZ beehive. I am in the same boat you were in a few years ago. I have an AZ hive on order but haven't the slightest idea of how to house it or how to manage it. I would really appreciate and suggestions and pictures if possible. I may need to wait until next year to set it up. Please contact me
Peg in Boston MA
Langstroth-compatible AZ hives would be nice...
www.apisrustica.com Bee Breeding: Canadian nuclei & queens
I may be very wrong but after looking on line I don't think it would be all that difficult to modify Langstroth concept into these hives. The hives I saw had 10 frames with a front entrance. The back was a door that swung open, then there was a removable cross brace that held a frame with frame spacers and a ventilation panel. The spacer frame and ventilation panel are pried off to get to the bee frames. The top had an excluder on it and above that was a super that looked like a Lang dadant super. There were metal cleats on the side to keep the super and brood box in line. The brood box with door etc seemed a bit deeper than the super so there is a small shelf on the top of the back of the brood box. Seems that would keep the lower box physically stable. The bottom board appeared to be screened.
They seem to stack them directly side by side with 1-2 supers, then a shelf and the next row of hives goes into place.
If some else has different thoughts on this let me know.
Also the front entrance seems to have a landing board the flips up to close it and some seem to have a small entrance on the front of the supers.
Like to hear what others think. Modifying a Lang concept would be more cost effective than p[aying shipping from Slovenia. If cost was no issue order a dozen and go for it
If enough folks were interested it may be more cost effective to order a container as a group.

UTSA Spotlight: Frank Quest has seen major growth judging by bigger stacks of mail to be managed
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 28, 2008)--Frank Quest retired Jan. 31 after 14 years of service to UTSA. For 10 of those years, he worked at the Downtown Campus as mail services manager.
A retired Navy chief petty officer, Quest began at UTSA at the 1604 Campus as a clerk in Facilities Services until moving downtown in 1997 with the opening of the new 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
According to Powell Trotti, director of business operations at the Downtown Campus, Quest was instrumental in establishing mail and receiving services at the Downtown Campus and organizing the records retention storage facility.
Quest and his wife, Nancy, will move to the Washington, D.C., area where she has accepted a position with the Veterans Administration headquarters.
JB: What is different now as compared to 10 years ago?
FQ: The volume of work at the Downtown Campus has increased significantly in the mailroom with the addition of three buildings and the added responsibility of managing records retention.
JB: From your point of view, what is the Downtown Campus' role at UTSA?
FQ: The role of the Downtown Campus is to provide educational services to the downtown community and students who may have not been able to commute to the 1604 Campus.
JB: Describe your best day at the Downtown Campus.
FQ: My best day was when the Buena Vista Street Building was completed and we were able to move into the mailroom. Up to that point, all we had was a small area in the basement shared with Physical Plant. We didn't have mailboxes... just a sorting table.

A local restaurant serves a pea salad that everyone raves over, so I came up with a similar version my family likes even better. My husband requests the well-dressed crunchy combination often during the summer. At 70¢ a serving, it doesn't cost a lot to make this chilled vegetable side dish. —Maree Waggener Cheney, Washington
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 1 package (16 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
- 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup prepared ranch salad dressing
- 5 Jones Dairy Farm Dry-Aged Bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing, bacon and pepper; mix well. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Chill until serving. Yield: 6 servings.

Also added Cayenne instead of pepper and can of drained small English peas instead of frozen. Only made changes since didn't have the ones called for. It is really good."

Simply place the beginning of the strip you just chainsewed together in the machine, flip the white square over to the left, and with a pile of white squares to your right, simply place one face down on top of your printed square. Sew down to the next one and repeat. Your blocks will look like those in the next pic that I'm holding in the air. They've all been webbed together and this saves much time by only having to cut them apart once!!! Yes!

The Destination
With its state-of-the-art museums and vibrant performing arts scene, downtown Houston rivals New York City's cultural landscape. Recently, the Lone Star State's biggest city has been on the receiving end of an arts-rich renaissance—once dilapidated warehouses now house avant-garde galleries, and trendy coffee shops dot the sidewalks. While the city spans 627 square miles, most of the fun is concentrated inside the "Loop"—the buzzing area encompassed by Interstate 610. Here, you can check out the zebras at the zoo, score tickets to professional sporting events, and indulge in larger-than-life shopping.
The Digs
Stationed in the heart of downtown—just a few blocks from the METRORail—this 3.5-star hotel puts you in the center of the action. Your newly renovated room features a king-size Tempur-Pedic bed, a flat-screen TV, and Wi-Fi. Grab a bite at the property's breakfast buffet before hopping on a complimentary shuttle to some of Houston's best attractions throughout the downtown area. Later, bask in the Texas sunshine as you laze by the hotel pool.
The Diversions

Biomechanical studies of the wrist joint and distal radioulnar joint, analyzing the function of various ligaments in the wrist in order to develop new surgical procedures aimed at eliminating instability problems in the wrist.
Pressure Distribution in the Distal Radio-ulnar Joint. With F. Werner, M. Fortino, S. Ishii
The distal radio-ulnar joint(DRUJ) helps to stabilize the forearm. The purpose of this study is to measure the distribution of pressure within the DRUJ in different positions of pronation and supination. An electromagnetic tracking device was attached to seven fresh cadaver upper extremities. This allowed monitoring of the position of the wrist to within 0.10. An incision was made in the capsule of the distal radio-ulnar joint and a pressure sensor was inserted. Weights were suspended from the wrist flexors and extensor. Minimal forces to obtain maximum pronation or supination were applied and data were recorded. Data were also recorded by manually locating the wrist in 10 positions of forearm rotation.
The results show that increasing the compressive force across the wrist joint caused the centroid of pressure to move distally on the radius an average of 0.8 mm. In neutral rotation with 89 N of force applied 13% of the sigmoid notch was in contact with the ulna. Analysis of the pressure plots reveals that in pronation the pressure is concentrated in the dorsal portion of the sigmoid notch while in supination the pressure is distributed in the palmar portion of the sigmoid notch. The data support the hypothesis that both the amount of load on the wrist tendons as well as the position of forearm rotation help determine the pressure distribution in this joint. This study also concurs with the theoretical concepts advocated by Bowers about changes in pressure distribution in the DRUJ.
Biomechanical Study of the Ligaments of the Wrist Joint. With F. Werner, M. Fortino, K. Mann
The contribution of specific intrinsic wrist ligaments in preventing carpal instability was studied. Carpal bone motion and radioulnar carpal joint pressures was simultaneously monitored in cadaver specimens while the wrist is moved physiologically. Measurements were made in the intact wrist, and after sectioning in various combinations, the scapholunate interosseous ligament, the radioscaphocapitate ligament, and the long radiolunate ligament and the scaphotrapezial ligament. The effect of repetitive cycling of up to 2500 Hz following ligament sectioning was also analyzed. Statistical comparison of carpal motion and pressures determined the role of specific ligaments in preventing wrist instability.

By Declan Taylor
Consistency has been the buzz word at Emirates Stadium this season and the same can be said of the Riverside.
A smattering of impressive Middlesbrough results are surrounded by twice as many ordinary ones, leaving Gareth Southgate's side hovering just five points above the drop zone.
Like Arsenal, Boro's slick one-touch football and searing counter-attacking pace has caught the eye, while a penchant for conceding late goals has undone a lot of hard work in the red-and-white ranks.
Ahead of the clash we spoke to Eric Paylor of the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette about Southgate's inexperienced yet talented squad, the ex-Gunners on Teesside and being consistently inconsistent.
"They have blown hot and cold this season and struggled for consistency. I know it is typical of a lot of other Premier League clubs but they can certainly see a lot of points that have gone begging. The danger is that the current run of poor results affects morale. They should've had a lot more points recently and they are susceptible to conceding late goals which has cost them a lot of points.
"I think one of the problems is that everybody in the league is blowing hot and cold and you never know what your opponents are going to be like on the day. They have played very badly against Chelsea this season but they do have a history of being able to turn it on against the bigger teams. They beat Arsenal last season at the Riverside, and deservedly so. You never know what you're going to get from Boro and really the first goal has been proving crucial. If you can get your nose in front you can go on to win. I do think that Boro have suffered from a loss of morale when things have gone against them, probably because of their young side at the moment."
"Gareth Southgate is trying to create a new team and there is a lot of youth and Premier League inexperience in the side which has counted against them recently. I think the fans are all behind him and he certainly has the total support of chairman Steve Gibson which is the most important thing. He was seen as a bit of gamble when he was appointed just over two years ago but since he was worked diligently to transform the whole squad really. There has been a lot of players leaving, you compare the current team to two years ago and it is vastly different already.
"It is now Gareth Southgate's side and he probably has a lot to prove as a manager in that the changes he has made need to stand up and be counted. The expectations for Southgate are higher than ever, certainly in the eyes of the fans, and they do expect him to produce."
"Every club mentions Europe when things start going well. I suspect it is a bit ambitious to talk about anything like that at the moment. One thing that Gareth did say at the start of the season is that Boro were aiming for the top half and he believed that he had a squad quite capable of finishing there. I think he is right if they can play individually and collectively they are quite capable of finishing in the top half. If you set your sights on finishing just fourth bottom you will probably go down so you do have to have high ambitions."
"Jeremie Aliadiere has been given a new role this season at Middlesbrough. He was used as an orthodox striker last year but didn't get many goals but he has now been slotted in on the right-hand side of midfield. It is a new role for him to get use to and he stills needs to work on the defensive side of his game to be 100% effective there. He has done well, particularly away from home, as he is such a quick player. When Boro try to break out of defence he is the perfect guy to give the ball to. They beat Villa using quick breaking and in that respect Aliadiere was very effective.
"I don't think he will ever become any more effective in front of goal. Occasionally towards the end of games he gets pushed into the attack as a part of a 4-3-3 when necessary. I think the Jeremie we have got is the Jeremie we see and from Boro's point of view it is about working on his strengths. If we can get seven or eight goals out of him it would be regarded as a good season.
"The other ex-Gunner, Justin Hoyte, did take a bit of time to settle in but Gareth stuck with him and told him that the spot is his if he can earn it. Certainly over the past few weeks he has really started to fit in and he looks part of the team, he knows everybody and has settled in the North East.
"He is very much an attacking right back so he fits in with the general philosophy that Southgate has. In many respects, Middlesbrough are a poor man's Arsenal and the emphasis is always placed on attacking. In this respect, Justin is the perfect right back for that role. I think he could improve his defending but he is still a young guy and this will come over the next two or three years. I do think that that Justin has been given the opportunity to make the right-back slot his own for years to come so you could say that the ball is in his court."
"Stewart Downing is very much a key player at Boro. He is one of the best players to be produced at Middlesbrough in recent years and I think he thoroughly deserves his place in the England squad. If he can build on his recent performances at international level he could get a more regular spot but it is more a case of believing in himself. He certainly believes in himself in the Premier League and he knows he is one of the key players and he has it drummed into him how important his crosses are. I think he is a very effective left winger, arguably as good as anyone in the Premier League.
"I would say he is focused on the job but the transfer speculation probably unsettled him initially as we have been reading these stories for two or three years now. I don't think there are any indications at all that Southgate has any intention to sell Downing in January even if a big bid does come along."
"One of the things about Arsenal is that they always let you play. I'm sure the reason that they play that way is because of the amount of quality in the side means they are always confident that they can win. I think it will be a very open game at the Riverside and I do think that Boro do have a chance.
"Boro have not been playing well in the league and have only taken one point from the last two games. We are looking at an Arsenal who could have turned the corner with that terrific win at Chelsea so they will arguably be the more confident side going into the game but I think it boils down to who scores the first goal. I do believe that if Boro can get the first goal then it will make a big difference. That said, they haven't been putting away their chances, particularly for the record signing Alfonso Alves who has only scored three goals this season – which has really disappointed Boro. If he can knock one in early doors then who is to say what could happen?"
"I am sure they will take confidence from Arsenal's defeats and I am sure it is something that Southgate will tell his players before the match. You look at some of these sides, like Stoke, they were probably out-physicalled so to speak but I don't think Middlesbrough are as physical in that sense. Boro too must pick themselves up from a very big body blow in losing at Hull in the last minute."

text: hey everyone, new guy here. name is Edwin out of Kentucky. I recently purchased a 2002 chevy blazer, 2wd, 4.3 vortec. its a great vehicle it has some good get up and go under the hood and besides the gas mileage im pretty satisfied. lately though as of last week my check engine light came on and hasn't left. I took it to autozone and got back 0440. I researched it online at home and got back a variety of issues which ill admit I honestly am not familiar with. the rubber seal inside the gas cap is intact but is cracked all the way around, going to replace it soon. however the reason im posting this is because early this morning around 3:30ish when I got off work as I was on the highway my check engine light started blinking for a few seconds and then stopped (its still on) I needed gas so I filled up the tank all the way (a whopping $61) and noticed some fluid dripping from underneath the rear driver side by the gas tank. I checked it out and it was water?? confused I drove home and parked it and gave it a closer inspection. there are 2 hoses that are labeled FUEL, and a few others, those are ok it seems. above those hoses it looks like what I can only describe as a rubber nipple like piece that was dripping fluid continuously, so I manned up and tasted, it tasted like dirty water, so good thing its not fuel. Now today when my girl took the truck out she says she can smell fumes heavily in the cab. like I said earlier im not familiar with evap systems or 0440 but I am mechanically apt so im fairly sure with the right information I can save hundreds and do it myself. if anyone on here has had the same symptoms or anything similar or anything related to 0440 please help, any information will be greatly appreciated. thank you.

You've got a tough problem - I've had both and liked them both. In some ways, I think that both are evolutionary improvements on the Glock. The M&P *may* incorporate some lessons learned from the Walther P99, but that's speculation. I don't think you would go wrong with either of them. Both companies seem to have reasonable support.
About the only thing I can do is point out feature differences:
M&P - easily interchangeable grip panels
XP - grip safety

A very poor season could be what the Giants need, actually. They've been drafting low in the draft for years now and it's hard to keep drafting talent when you're consistently a team in the hunt. A poor season this year could help the Giants restock on prime young talent next year.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
The only thing I'm really sad about this season is losing our 4-0 record in the Cowgirls stadium. But hey, 4-1 is still pretty damn good!
And after next week, Cowboys are 2-3. Hope you girls enjoyed your fist pumping for the week.
Spin that Webb young Davis
