The last days I was working on these stencils. Let's see if somebody know which stencils these are:
Yes, these are the PP1 or Eyes Helmet stencils.
Update 26-04-2011
Added the Rear Panel and Rear Keyhole stencils. Replaced the Red Face stencil (corrected the area behind the right ear - replaced with a slightly modified PP3 one).
Still need to confirm if these are the right colors (the ones used are the ESB/PP3 colors).
Update 27-04-2011
The last days I was working on the domes (for each version of the PP1 helmet). This isn't perfect, but it's good for a start. The rest is up to you...
Update 29-11-2011
The back plates were replaced with new and improved files because the base color is now the correct one (?) and all the scratches were remade. Also replaced the perspective view files.
Update 17-12-2011
Added the Dome Top Area files for the Original and the Final version.
Update 25-03-2012
Added archived separation files in JPG format for those who want to edit or alter the stencil's dimensions.

I did a separate scheme for the eyes zone because of the roundness of the helmet it's nearly impossible to set these flattered. If you want alternative eyes you can find some great templates made by Rich D. at PP1 Eyes Paint Stencils.
And here are the perspective views of the helmets:

One of the great joys of summer is old stuff.
Cruising through a small town on your way to or from some holiday spot and spotting some second hand store and then sauntering in and finding a gem. Well that's the plan.
Usually the reality is that the place is just filled with crappy old stuff or even worse, overpriced stuff that isn't even old.
If you see the words "kiwiana" or "retro" you should run a mile. These are alarm bells that ring "overpriced" and "shit".
On a recent trawl in Gisborne I came across a 1989 "Special Pictorial Issue" of the NZ Listener, back in the days when it was double its present size, like those old Life magazines. Naturally I went straight to the TV page to see what was screening in 1989 indulging in some sort of time-travel fomo.
Conventional wisdom in some circles is that TV has gone to the dogs and they're not talking lovely Lassie collies.
For them it's gone to the slobbering baby eating pit-bulls. For others, all the choice, time-shifting and HBO shows of today, means that this is the golden age.
TV was boring back then. TVs were the size of toasters, and not those plus-sized designer numbers with four slices.
Upon scanning the delights on offer on the week starting Sunday Oct 22 of 1989 you're struck by two things. 1) Nothing has changed 2) Everything has changed.
Unchanged is the 6pm news, although it's only half an hour with Holmes at 6.30pm, meanwhile TV2 had a quarter hour of regional news at 5.45pm, Auckland's version was called Top Half, hosted by John Hawkesby, Primetime contains delights such as the original Taggart, local shoulder pad soap Gloss, Coronation Street, MASH, and The Bill.
All of which are still on screen somewhere today. Reruns of China Beach and Flying Doctors have been less forthcoming.
The Sunday line-up made me feel nostalgic for the intelligence of University Challenge (7.30pm ONE) and for arts programming like Kaleidoscope, (One 9.45pm) which was dealing with vexed question: "Has the phenomenally successful Ladies Night lowered the moral tone of New Zealand theatre." It was probably the last time that words "theatre" or "moral tone" would ever be uttered on NZ TV.
Also gone for good are childhood favourites like Top Cat - 'Feline fun with a cool alley cat' - Or Magilla Gorilla, "Monkey business with a manic ape." Although some brands have endured, like The Muppets and Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Luckily Maori had little interest in TV in the 1980s, because there wasn't any for them. Unless you count Kohanga Reo at 11.45 am, which had a full 10 minutes to help you learn te reo.
Which is about 20 minutes less than another cultural broadcast that screened an hour earlier: Aerobics Oz Style - "Aerobic exercise for the energetic."
This time capsule made me wonder if we'll ever see the return of local game shows like Sale of The Century, where "General knowledge and a fast finger can win prizes valued at over $20,000."
They say the way to discover who the target audience is meant to be is to look at the adverts. The Listener readers of the 1980s - and there were nearly a million of them back then - seem to be alcoholic scabble enthusiasts who are worried about their weight.
There are ads for Steinlager "They're drinking our beer here."
There's also a revolutionary device that looks like a calculator but is designed to help you spell perfectly. "Magic for crossword puzzlers and Scrabble fanatics." It boasted a staggering 128kb of memory, all for only $249. And do people still buy the "daily tonic" known as Complan? "It's light easy to digest. Just the thing for sports, controlling weight, convalescing."
From memory it was a horrible gritty drink that looked very much like reproductive mucus.
But the ads tell another story about the times. Unlike today there's only about one ad for every five pages of editorial. The admen had also yet to conquer TV in the 1980s, the breaks were fewer and shorter and there were none on Sundays at all.
There is also a helpful list of the most popular shows from 1982 to 1988.
Miss New Zealand was the most watched show in 1982 and 1984 when two thirds of the nation were all over it like an inappropriate uncle (watch the 1973 final here).
The rest of the list is made up of rugby.
In a way I was looking for some sort of insight into the state of the medium as we enter a new age of god-only-knows. Many see the arrival of Seven Sharp as the third horseman of the apocalypse, the death of TVNZ7 and the birth of The Ridges being one and two. As is often the case I was looking for black and white but found only grey. We have lost some things but gained so many others.
But perusing the pages of this historical document I solved one mystery.
Why was the food so bad back then? If you're old enough you'll remember that in the 1980s veges were soft and grey after being boiled into submission.
Steak was leathery and well-done and spaghetti came from a can. The idea of service in a restaurant was as foreign as a tasty salad. Today 12 year olds can not only make a Quinoa salad they can even pronounce it correctly. (It's 'kinwa' apparently.)
The TV listings for that week in 1989 revealed that here was very little in the way of cooking or food shows. In fact in that week in October there wasn't one, not a sausage.
TV may well be rotting what is left of our brains, but it's hard to argue that is hasn't done wonders for our stomachs.

I am satisfied with the product but I have to stir the contents before use as the oil separates. In shipping, the lid of the product had loosen and oil had leaked out.

I have not used this on an on-going basis to determine its exact effect on my skin.I am, however, a fan of Mychelle products which have almost always produced results in some form or another. I do like this rich heavy cream under my make-up nowadays,as chronic illnesses have caught up with my skin. It makes it soft and a tiny little bit goes a long way.Other than that, I will have to be consistent in its usage so as to be able to give an update.
Very good!!!

Within the first week, I received many compliments on my skin. It even glowed and I noticed my face brighten up. I am very pleased and am thankful that they have this as a trial. To bad it is expensive though.
Love this cream

This cream is marvelous. Very fragrant, but not perfume smelling. It is a heavier cream that I would recommend for night. It can be worn under makeup if your skin is really dry, but I prefer it for night.Many other product lines say they are natural, but if you read the ingredients they are terrible. Not MyChelle. They deliver as promised.
Very good cream

I really like this cream! It's smells good, it has good consistence, but it needs few minutes to absorb. I like to use it as a day cream in the autumn and winter. I have combination skin. In the summer it's normal with an oily T-zone, in winter it's dry with normal in T-zone. I use this jar thoroughly and this is a very good indicator for me.
Great for skin around eyes.

This cream is little pricey but well worth it. It initially caused me to break out so I decided to use it just around my eyes. Depending on your needs this could also be a budget friendly option (using around eyes). I've seen great improvement in the appearance of my dark circles and it seems to have thickened my skin. I'm very happy with this product!

Knebworth back in 79 when men were men and girls were birds :)
Knebworth 79 was sooooooooooooooo cool. The first weekend we walked right to the front of the stage with two birds (yes there were called birds back in '79) Me and my mate Dave found them hitch hiking to the gig. We told a couple of Scottish blokes right at the front that they could have them if they let us sit down and let us drink their whiskey. The poor girls spent the whole gig fighting of the drunk Scots whilst me and Dave had the best seats in the house :) At the end of the gig we grabbed the girls and made a run for it. I seem to remember sleeping in a ditch with them and then dropping them off on the motorway on the way home. Not very nice of us but lads were lads in those days LOL. Oh the gig was great, especially Jimmy and his laser. I will always remember 100,000 people with their lighters lit for Stairway. What a mind fuc. The second weekend was memorable purely for the fact we didn't have tickets but got in for free. 2,000 pushing the fence down did the trick. One security guy was behind the fence and he did his best to stop us by hitting the smallest person he could find. WOW happy times

PHILADELPHIA (October 23, 2000) -- A new study demonstrates a significant association between a lack of oxygen in prostate cancer cells and the increased expression of the angiogenesis marker, endothelial growth factor or VEGF. The Fox Chase Cancer Center study was presented at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Annual Meeting in Boston, Mass. on October 23 at 10:45 a.m.
The lack of oxygen, called hypoxia, in tumor cells has been shown to correlate, not only with poor response to radiotherapy, but also to tumor aggressiveness.
"Prior studies have shown that cancer cells adapt to hypoxia by secreting angiogenic growth factors, such as vascular VEGF," explained James V. Tricoli, Ph.D., an associate member in the medical sciences division of Fox Chase and an author of the study. "The purpose of this study was to determine if increasing levels of hypoxia are associated with increased production of VEGF in prostate cancer."
In the study, the oxygen levels in prostate tumor cells were measured in 13 men undergoing radical prostatectomy. Each tumor comprised approximately 100 separate oxygen readings. Tumor tissue from the prostatectomy specimens was then analyzed to measure the level of VEGF. Using a published methodology, two independent observers (blinded to the oxygen data) scored the percent of cells staining positive for VEGF and the staining intensity. The significance of associations between oxygen levels and VEGF staining was determined by Pearson correlation.
"The blinded comparison of oxygen levels and VEGF staining intensity reveals a clear link between increasing hypoxia and VEGF," said Benjamin Movsas, M.D., director of clinical radiotherapy research at Fox Chase. "These findings support examining anti-angiogenic strategies in treating prostate cancer."
Fox Chase Cancer Center, one of the nation's first comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute in 1974, conducts basic and clinical research; programs of prevention, detection and treatment of cancer; and community outreach.

dublb--that looks great! How many blocks are there?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
dublb--that looks great! How many blocks are there?
There are 32 quilted blocks & one unquilted. I figure that I will do 'em 5x6 & then do a border. If she wants a border. I'm gonna talk ta the lady & see if she wants ta make pillows or wants ta frame the others.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Here is what I got done. I then e-mailed it ta the lady. She likes it, so I'll do all o' the others now.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Jenniky, sorry I got behind on reading the posts. My Sue and Sam were blocks that were just laying around and wondering what to do with them. Thank you for the nice comments.
Life is Good!
Visit my blog, closed the website:
Hi I just found this thread and still have to go back and read it all . I live in Western Australia and just did this mile a minit qayg with the scraps from a new york beauty. I quilted it on my embroidery machine .two first with this one!!!
How beautiful Lisa! Love, love, love the color choices!
Dublb, what cute sunbonnet sue's. Shes such a happy girl and has been around a long time...keep showing us pics as you progress.
Not sure that my orphan blocks will qualify, since ultimately I hope to create a large curtain to hang from my ceiling to cover/protect my fabric stash wall. However I do have some orphan blocks that I have been toting around for at least 15 yrs and I am now working on how to set them. I have a set plain amish color/black bowtie blocks and a set of attic windows that are in various prints (this was from a very misguided swap group!) and I want to join them together with alot of black fabric (hoping the black will form a miracle). I have tried QAYG in the past and didnt like all the hand stitching on the back to cover my block by block work. Are you doing something different than that Jenny?
Elkhart, IN
aka Quilting NownThen on etsy
qltgrose- Jenniky showed us several methods in this thread. Go back & read what she showed us. She will show us some other methods latter. She did show us several that have no hand sewin'.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
LisaR very pretty. I finally finished my first QAYG quilt. Here are pictures of the front and back.
That turned out real beautiful ssnare! The blue really sets off those blocks! Isn't it fun to get one of our UFO's out of the stack!

Larry Grant, ILB, San Fran (28) did good replacing Willis in 2011 William Moore, S, San Fran (28) insurance Phil Loadholt, OT, Vikings (27) Peterson didn't do it on his own. Should have put him at the top. Draft: 1(18)Ezekial Ansah, DE, BYU every time we turn our head on this guy, he shows us up. We kept hearing of his disorganized play in the Senior Bowl practices, then he played the game. Will take up two blockers, but I see him as the Warren Sapp in a Tampa 2. I'd call him a 1st round DT rather than a DE. TRADE 2nd (47) to Houston for 2nd (57) and 4th (121) 2(57)D.J. Swearinger, S, South Carolina, There will be other safeties on the board, but he's better. Will make our Corners look much, much better. Hard hitter and taunts, which needs to stop, but character flaws are faux. He is a good guy off the field. Immediate starter. Might make Sensabaugh expendable. 3(80)Da'rick Rogers, WR, Tenn Tech, Will be overlooked because of other recievers, but may be better than a few of them. Miles who? He will make headaches for defenses when teamed with Dez. Too tasty to pass up in the third. 4(111) Jonathan Franklin, RB, UCLA/ Joseph Randle, RB, OKState, either one can be a part of the best tripplet RBs in the NFL with Murray and Ivory. 4(121) Alvin Bailey, OG, Arkansas, Jerry will get us a Guard, but just when he feels like it. That's ok; with Bailey, Bernadeau, Collins, Thomas, and Dietrich-Smith, we have a plethora of big men to choose from. 5(144) Sean Porter, LB, Texas A&M, good backer. Probably wont make it to the 5th, but players like this can get overlooked at times. Doesn't look too big, but he looks fast. Maybe a replacement for Butler. Watch tape of Damontre Moore and you see #10 running all over the place. 6(175) Malliciah Goodman, DE, Clemson, long, fast, and just might make a name for himself in the NFL. With Ware, Spencer, Ansah, Spears, Hatcher, Hayes, Lissemore, Crawford, Goodman and Price on the line in a 4-3, we will have one of the better DL line rotations in the NFL. May make a few of them expendable We all know that this all wont happen, but it might.

text: The knee injury was gruesome but the doctors these days are doing great at repairing injuries. That kid from L'Ville already is walking with crutches and that was the craziest sport injury I have seen live in recent memory. I think Lattimore will get picked before 5.

Ann Frederick is the director of flexibility training for the Stretch to Win Clinic, where she has worked with many elite athletes, including Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Donovan McNabb and numerous Olympians and members of the NFL, MLB, and NHL. Ann was the first flexibility specialist ever to work at the Olympics, consulting with the 1996 U.S. wrestling team and both the 2000 and 2004 U.S. track teams.
For more than 35 years, Ann has studied, performed, and taught movement through multiple dance disciplines. In 1997, upon completion of her studies, Frederick defended her master's thesis and established that her stretching technique outperformed conventional methods with lasting flexibility gains of 36 to 52 percent. She continually refined and improved these techniques, which ultimately developed into the Stretch To Win system of flexibility training and stretching. Today, professional athletes and Olympians from all over the world use this system to achieve higher levels of performance.
Ann is a member of the International Association of Structural Integrators and is part of the associate faculty at Arizona State University.
Chris Frederick is the director of sports and orthopedic rehabilitation at the Stretch to Win Clinic. After an injury sidelined his professional dance career, Chris went on to receive his degree in manual orthopedic physical therapy from Hunter College, City University of New York. To get a well-rounded background in many disciplines, Chris trained privately with several master physical therapists, rolfers, chiropractors, osteopaths, two chi kung and tai chi masters, and an Olympic strength coach.
As a result of his education and training, Chris lends a nontraditional, complementary approach to flexibility training, physical therapy, sport rehabilitation, and fitness. Using the Stretch To Win system of flexibility training and stretching, he has designed many effective injury-prevention programs for both professional and collegiate athletes and sport teams as well as professional dancers and dance companies. Chris is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, the International Association of Structural Integrators, and the International Association of Dance, Medicine and Science.
The Fredericks are also renowned international speakers and codirectors of the International Institute of Flexibility Sciences located in Tempe, Arizona. There, they train and certify professionals to become flexibility specialists who may use the Stretch To Win system to enhance their current careers. The Fredericks are dedicated to advancing the emerging field of flexibility sciences by promoting and engaging in research on connective tissue and related topics.
The Fredericks reside in Tempe, Arizona.
"Flexibility is a key to an athlete's success. The advice, exercises, and programs in Stretch to Win will enable your body and mind to be balanced and connected so you can perform your best."
Donovan McNabbQuarterback, Philadelphia EaglesFive-time Pro Bowl selection
"Stretch to Win has been a tremendous asset to me. I always had trouble with my hamstrings, but after working with Chris and Ann I was able to compete without pain. I use the routines every day, and they help me stay injury free."
Sanya Richards2004 Olympic 4x400-meter gold medalist2005 world outdoor 400-meter silver medalist and U.S. outdoor champion
"The artistry and rhythm of the Fredericks' approach to stretching are supported by the science of flexibility. The debate may continue over the efficacy of stretching, but in the real world of athletics, the Fredericks' method answers the challenge and meets the need of certified athletic trainers and certified massage therapists."
Benny Vaughn, LMT, ATC, CSCS, NCTMBAthletic Therapy CenterFort Worth, Texas
"Making the Stretch To Win System an essential part of my off and in-season training has maximized my athletic performance and has eliminated major injuries so that I'm able to play my best at each and every game." Na'il DiggsGreen Bay Packers

I did not expect to receive any surplus honey from either of the 2 colonies I started in April, I am a first year bee keeper after all! Both colonies were on track to storing several surplus boxes until the 'Yellow' hive swarmed in mid July! This was a colony that has been quite finicky; they did not accept their queen shipped with the package. They did rebound nicely and managed to get their top brood chamber[8 frame boxes] filled entirely with stores, as well as another fully capped box of honey which was above the excluder. The 'Red' hive did much better; they didn't swarm[as far as I could tell] and managed to fill their 3rd brood chamber with stores as well as nearly 3 extra supers above the excluder. This should give both colonies 2 full 8 frame boxes of honey along with any frames in brood chambers 1 and 2; I'm hoping this will be enough to winter them through here in Northern California, around the San Francisco bay area. There was a total of 11 fully capped frames in all; I didn't take any of the 'nearly' capped frames that were full, those went back in the 2nd winter super.
Here's some images of the bottling!
-the Mann Lake 5 gal storage w/gate[filled to dark line] and the 2 sizes of containers we filled, 6 and 12 OZ. clear bears.
I figured the volume from the number of frames to be between 3 and 4 gallons, I think I got it pretty close. There may be
just a little more honey than containers
-not quite all the bottles filled, getting there!
Hope everyone overwinters well and has a productive 2012!
I'm working on my swarm management next year, although I did go out and retrieve the one that did cast a swarm in July...I think I'll get some nuc boxes built before the 'official' swarm season begins here.

I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
Sounds like that's going to be one fun retreat.
Dublb I hope you will share pictures of the retreat with us. Looking forward to seeing your Texas flag.
Have an awesome day!
Debbie hosted another wonderful retreat in Granbury TX. I didn't git ta the TX flag but I did practice FMQ on this ta make a child's quilt & donated it ta Project Linus.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Hello Dublb, FMQ, great fun! How many miles of thread did you use? Great little quilt, love the postcard design.
Sorry I haven't been posting here, ladies. Happy late anniversary, Jenniky!
There is a growing pile of quilt sandwiches here...
Thanks Muv. I know I could have done those straight lines w/a walkin' foot but I needed the FMQ practice. I did learn that I can go forward & backward w/the straight lines but, sideways wasn't quite so good. I fell in love w/this fabric last spring but had no real use for it, so ta PL it goes.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Hello Muv and Thank you.. have missed your posts.
Dublb sounds like you had lots of fun and learned a great deal about FMQ. So what are you working on at home.. are you going to work on the flag kit at home? I of course am back to having ten thousand projects going on at once. I am trying to get one Christmas ornament done with in the next week so I have it ready to share when Quilt E gets back. Im making a Christmas ornament (with some Canadian fabric pieces Quilt E sent me some time back for Monty which is still in progress) for my Christmas tree this year in gratitude of all of my new Candian friends or should I call ya all Canucks?? LOL I think Im getting hockey confused with it all.
Have an awesome day!
Glad you had a good time dublb and pleased that it was productive. Some child will be thrilled.
Good to hear from you Muv.

Plasma pancreatic polypeptide, PP, human pancreatic polypeptide
This test measures a substance in your blood called pancreatic polypeptide. Pancreatic polypeptide is secreted by cells in your pancreas.
People who have neuroendocrine tumors have higher levels of this substance. These tumors can be functional or nonfunctional. Nonfunctional tumors are more common. They are called nonfunctional because they secrete substances that do not cause symptoms. That means they may not produce any symptoms until they have grown large.
You may need this test if your doctor suspects that you have a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. When these tumors cause symptoms, they can seem similar to many other common digestive problems. Symptoms of nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors include:
Abdominal pain
Weight loss
Jaundice, or yellow discoloration of the skin
If you have already been diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, you may need this test to help your doctor decide on the best treatment for you.
Your doctor may also order other tests to look for other substances in your blood that rise if you have a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. These substances are called biochemical tumor markers.
Your doctor may also order an imaging test that takes a picture of your pancreas. He or she may also order a biopsy, in which he or she will take a small piece of the tumor and examine it under a microscope.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Pancreatic polypeptide is measured in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). Normal results increase with age and range from less than 228 pg/mL in your 20s to less than 332 pg/mL in your 70s.
A high blood level may mean you have:
A pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
Another type of endocrine pancreatic tumor
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Eating before the test will cause pancreatic polypeptide levels to rise.
You will need to fast for eight hours before this test. Be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

In this edition, you will be happy to learn that our Take Back the Tech campaign earned itself a honorary mention from an Austrian organisation working in the field of electronic arts. This is well deserved by APC's women's programme, which has been the initiator of this original communication campaign against violence against women. We revisit the Internet Governance Forum on internet access and take a look at an example of community wireless internet access in a school in Zimbabwe. We conclude with news of a partnership between APC and 80/20 Thinking, a move that will bolster APC's long-standing fight for internet rights.

Take Back the Tech wins honorary mention from Prix Ars Electronica 2008
MEXICO CITY (Erika Smith for APC WNSP) – The Association for Progressive Communications Women's Programme is proud to announce that Take Back the Tech was awarded an honorary mention by the prestigious Prix Ars Electronica International Competition for Cyber Arts for its innovative, collaborative campaign to end violence against women.
Building consensus on internet access at the IGF
MONTEVIDEO (Abiodun Jagun for APC) – This paper identifies and documents the main areas of discussions and 'recommendations' that were generated under the Access theme at the second Internet Governance Forum in Rio De Janeiro, November 2007. Whilst recognising that the IGF is currently viewed and operates primarily as a space for discussion, the paper finds that (specifically in the case of Access) it is also a space in which commonality of opinion occurs to the level at which 'recommendations' can be made and repeatedly asserted independently/individually in the workshops.
APC enters into a partnership with privacy specialists
LONDON (FD for APCNews) – A new online privacy and data protection consultancy firm called 80/20 Thinking is partnering with the internet rights network Association for Progressive Communications (APC) to support initiatives in developing countries that are working towards strengthening democratic processes and civil liberties. Managing Director of 80/20 Thinking, Simon Davies, long-time privacy and consumer rights advocate, approached APC and asked whether the association would agree to manage and distribute 50% of their new company's profits.
The wireless school connectivity project… a concrete outcome
HARARE (Muroro Dziruni for Connect Africa) – The wireless school connectivity project is an initiative that has connected a secondary school in a poor township of Harare to the internet, using wireless technologies. The genesis of this project was a result of the wireless skills training workshop, which took place in Pretoria, South Africa in 2005 and was facilitated by APC. Muroro Dziruni of Connect Africa in Zimbabwe tells the story of how wireless technology can work in Africa, when everyone joins in and cooperates.

Tuition at Pulaski Tech will increase by about 3 percent beginning with the fall 2007 semester.
The Pulaski Technical College Board of Trustees approved the increase during a special called meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 30.
Instate tuition will increase $2 per credit hour, from $72 to $74. Tuition for out-of-state students will increase by $4 per credit hour, from $119 to $123. Tuition for international students will increase by $8 per credit hour, from $238 to $246.
The college's equipment/facility use fee will increase $1 per credit hour from $8 to $9. Other enrollment fees will remain the same.
The tuition increase is needed to keep pace with higher operating expenses at the college, including a 38 percent increase in electricity, an increase in employee healthcare costs, and costs associated with needed technology upgrades, said John Barnes, chairman of the Board of Trustees.
The tuition and fee increases are expected to generate $522,000 for the 2007-08 academic year.

Chargers Need To Become More Consistent In Preseason
As the Chargers head into their second game of the preseason, they should be mindful about improving their consistency in both the run game and special teams. The Chargers lost their preseason opener to the Seattle Seahawks, but should still come away with some valuable lessons. If the Chargers are not able to run the ball with effectiveness or take advantage of field position opportunities, they'll be backing themselves against a wall, forcing themselves to pass the ball too much and becoming vulnerable to turnovers.
(Photo Credit: Mike Nowak/San Diego Chargers)
The Chargers need to become a better running football team, period. Only twenty rushes per game is simply not going to cut it. If the Chargers throw the ball fifty times in a game, they'll obviously increase their chances of giving away interceptions. The Chargers are a great spread team, and operate and protect well out of the shotgun. The offensive line pass protects very well. However, they need to become better at the power running game. The offensive line needs to improve in their communications with each other. There were times against Seattle that the O-line failed to pickup their blocks and missed on screen plays that could have turned into huge gains. These guys will continue to gel, and I have no doubt that these mental breakdowns will get corrected. But the timing and execution is not there yet and it showed. Whether it's Jacob Hester getting a better feel of where Tomlinson wants to go, or if it's LT's vision and patience that need to sharpen up, there is plenty of room to improve in the run game.
Special teams is difficult to grade in the preseason because there are so many young guys who play in these packages. A good special teams unit is an established one. The Chargers are doing some experimentation right now, and as they should, since the preseason is the best time to do these types of evaluations.
Buster Davis had a nice showing as the team's starting return man. As he gets more comfortable back there, he'll use his blocks better and allow his speed to get him past defenders. Darren Sproles was one of the best returners in the game last year, but if the plan is to use him less in that role, then hopefully the drop off in production isn't dramatic.
Nate Kaeding missed about a 33 yard field goal attempt, which is out of character for a guy who has been one of the most accurate regular season kickers in the NFL. These kicks should be automatic... not sure what happened on that miss.
The Chargers also used backup punter Truman Spencer, and he was shaky. He punted the ball out of bounds and he also punted the ball into the endzone for an avoidable touchback. The Chargers are not used to giving up touchbacks when Mike Scifres is booming kicks with tremendous hang time. Spencer is likely just a camp kicker and probably won't make the final roster.
I don't buy into the theory that simply pressuring or hurrying a QB is good enough. If an NFL quarterback cannot move in the pocket and deal with the pass rush pressure that inevitably comes in games, then he probably shouldn't be playing in the league.
Sacks not only take plays away from the offense, but they also create negative yardage. Pressure without sacks usually wont be enough. If the QB is chased out of the pocket but is still able to complete a pass downfield, then the pass rush was not successful. It's pretty simple isn't it? Create negative plays, and get hits on the Quarterback.
I think the Chargers have the personnel necessary to generate sacks. However, two of their featured pass rushers are limited by injury; Shawne Merriman is still working his way into becoming 100 percent again, and Larry English has been hampered by a nagging hamstring injury. These guys need the reps to get into their rhythm, and so it is important that they get a chance to use the preseason as a tune up. Aside from those two, I'm also anxious to see Jyles Tucker and Antoine Applewhite perform. If the Chargers decide to only carry five outside linebackers, Tucker and Applewhite would be competing to be that fifth OLB. Someone needs to stand out and show the team that not only are they versatile in being able to play both the SAM and the WILL, but they also need to get to the quarterback and make plays in the backfield.
I think the Chargers are incredibly deep; there won't be many available roster spots when final cuts are to be made. The preseason is a great time to evaluate the young guys and to see how they stack up both against each other and against some of the more established veterans. I think the Chargers will continue to improve each week and put themselves into position to win the division once again.

Your analyzing these games as if they we're "real games". We all know the team is focusing on their weaknesses and seeing whose going to fill those roles.
As for the run game, Hester better get his crap together or we won't be doing much running at all.
It's pre season, don't expect to see explosive plays. Coaches are not going to reveal there real game plan. Pre season is for Vet's to get back into the groove of things and for the young players to strut there stuff. It gives them a taste of the NFL. I wouldn't be at all disappointed if the Chargers lose every exhibition game.
Always remember that Detroit was 4-0 in preseason last year. That really translated into a great season. Preseason games are to find where there are problems and fix them. Our execution was not great nor was it terrible. I expect our running game to be better this next game. As far as QB sacks and pressures, they rarely rushed more than 4. That will change in the regular season.
C'mon Dawg.......It's the preseason! Don't hit the panic button just yet. Being consistent in the preseason is the equivalent to having an irregular bowel movement. Once the regular season begins, the Chargers will be pooping silky smooth bolts of lightning all the way to their first Superbowl victory, save for the two-three times per the regular season they collectively eat some bad corn salsa.

@ Anonymous above ^
Haha! I'm not hitting the panic button, I just want to see the team improve week to week. I wonder if these slow starts during the regular season could be attributed to the fact that we have so many superstar players that don't play much during the preseason...
Wow. One preseason game. Its the frist game. The shake it out game. The get back into it time. They played with a very limited play book. When they did go after the QB, they forced incompletions. They did put preassure on the QB when they wanted to. Teams that win all of there preseason games tend to have bad years. They will be a different come week one. They are working the players back into playing condition. You will see what they can do come game one. Forney was out of synic, due to missing time in camp. They use the preseaon as a training tool. They could care less about winning.
You pointed some things that would matter if it were game 4 of preseason.Thats what it is all about make mistakes and fine turn the team. Get in Synic, get on the same sheet of music. THis team is not the same as before. They are very focused and doing this step by step to prepare for the real first game.
Actually game three is when it will matter. Usually game 4 if for guys trying to make the team with a last push. Starters play very little in game four on most teams.
Watch the execution in game three. If the running game is still off and the defense has no push on the pocket then you can worry.
What I saw in week one was Rivers to Gates...and it looks like Gates is back. I saw Martin looking like a young, but very capable end. I saw friggin' Buster Davis look like a potential NFL player for a change, but I also saw Hester look like he doesn't understand positioning for blocking.
LT is working his way into stride and while I think it may be good early...I worry about wasting his aging legs when we have every expectation of playing in late January at the very least. He didn't look like the LT of the last Denver game though.
I also worry about what happens to us in coverage with Burnett out. With Burnett in...we look solid...and he was all over the field, but while Dobbins appears tough against the run...he can't cover. I think Burnett should start opposite Coop from what I've seen so far.
I think we'll be fine.
Good points.
Main concern is lack of running game early with LT. 4 rushes for 10 yards. It was just way to reminiscent of last years running wowes. It is preason but we didnt look good early when the game most closely resembles regular season.
Burnett looked great as he flew around the field.
Awesome to see Buster catch a ball down field.
Whitehurst was shakey but loved how he came back after having a horrible night.
Big hits from Gregory and Ellison made the game more watchable.
Merriman did not look good. He looked very tentative. At the same time it made more sense for him not to play with reckless abandon his first game in almost a year.
Charly Martin showed his stuff. Probably looking at a practice squad spot unless he gets signed to another team.
Michael Bennett looked better than Gartrell. He was the one runner that actually had a little spark.
We just need our first team to get the run going. That will really make us one of the most dangerous offenses in the league.
- Rob Ross said... Aug 22, 2009, 11:17:00 AM
I agree that it is important for the Chargers to show they can actually run the ball. Fans that think it's only the preseason and thus doesn't matter don't get it. If you think back to the years when the running games was strong under Marty and even back to the days of Bobby Ross, you could tell something special was going on IN THE PRESEASON. The Chargers haven't shown much in the run game for two years, another outing like last week(32nd in rushing) may expose a weakness on this team. I'm worried Norv is a bit too enamored of his passing game.

In fact it was the relentless criticism from broadcasters and the press that forced the NFL to end the lockout.
But it is pretty much an accepted tradition in American sports that broadcasters will speak freely when they don't agree with officiating or judging.
I actually find Olympic coverage more restrained at times than what we normaly see in other sports.
I wonder if any Canadians here watched the recent USA/Canada Ladies Olympic soccer game.
That game had some controversial calls and I would bet the Canadian broadcasters called it the way they saw it.
If an announcer's job is to keep us informed then it seems they have a responsibilty to bring what they consider bad officiating or judging to our attention.

Anesthesiology/Pain Management
We're here to improve surgical and diagnostic outcomes by minimizing the stress and discomfort caused by these procedures. Before any anesthetics are administered, we'll ask for your consent and answer any questions you may have. Any time your animal is given anesthetic care, we perform a comprehensive pre-anesthetic work-up, tailor an anesthetic plan specifically for your animal, perform vigilant patient monitoring before, during, and after anesthesia, and provide pain-relieving medications.
We also offer a comprehensive pain management service that includes acupuncture for pain management in dogs, cats, and horses. Whether hospitalized or as outpatients, animals with surgical, orthopedic, cancer or chronic pain can be individually evaluated and have a protocol designed to achieve the best possible outcome for pain reduction and improvement in quality of life. The outpatient pain service will work with you or your regular veterinarian to provide options.

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

Superb location instead of Trevi. Apartment clean and well equipped. Convenient shopping and restaurants nearby. A little salty supplements when you arrive late on Sunday.
Superbe emplacement place de trevi. Appartement propre et bien équipé. Commerces à proximité et restaurants proches. Suppléments un peu salé quand on arrive le dimanche tardivement.
The apartment is an excellent choice for 6 adults but too small, unless it does not bother if someone is sleeping in the living room. We enjoyed the time anyway.
Die Wohnung ist toll gelegen, für 6 Erwachsene aber zu klein, es sei denn, es stört nicht, wenn jemand im Wohnzimmer schläft. Wir haben die Zeit trotzdem sehr genossen.
Everything worked as agreed, the apartment matched the description.
Alles hat wie vereinbart geklappt, die Wohnung entsprach der Beschreibung.
Pleasant stay. Very well located appartment. We only wish that the upper tray in dishwasher had been fixed. Was completely unstable when we arrived.
A few light bulps were missing in the ceiling and there was no light above the zink in the lower bathroom. As it is a very dark appartment sufficient lighting would have been very nice. Otherwise a nice place to stay in.
It was in the perfect location close to all the big sightseeing destinations. Enjoyed our stay
Very spacious and clean, apartment in the historic center of Rome. Somewhat dated, which is reflected in the two bathrooms, one of which gives no hot water. Mattresses clean but to refresh. Spacious equipped kitchen. Good choice.
Zeer ruim, en net, appartement midden in het historisch centrum van Rome. Enigszins gedateerd wat zich uit in de beide badkamers, waarvan een geen warm water geeft. Matrassen schoon maar toe aan vernieuwing. Ruim geoutilleerde keuken. Goede keuze.
We have been here three days, the apartment is located in the Trastevere district. The apartment is clean and decorated AESTHETICS, it is a dark apartment, but considering the fact that you're way off, we did not mind. When you walk out your door vd afternoon at the end, you can walk to the lively restaurants and bars to. It's a great location, if you like vivacity and conviviality, the apartment is not for people who want to unwind., After a day in the lovely city of peace
We zijn hier 3 dagen geweest, het appartement ligt midden in de wijk Trastevere. Het appartement is schoon en is designvol ingericht, het is wel een donker appartement, maar gezien het feit dat je veel buiten bent vonden wij dit niet erg. Wanneer je aan het einde vd middag je deur uitloopt, loop je zo tegen de gezellige restaurantjes en barretjes aan. Het is een super locatie, als je houdt van levendigheid en gezelligheid, het is geen appartement voor mensen die na een dag in de stad heerlijk in rust willen bijkomen.
Excellent host, very well received, very good stay in a great apartment! Thank you very much we will return for sure!
Super appartement, extrêmement bien placé et très silencieux malgré sa localité. Lorenzo a répondu présent quand nous avions besoin de lui.

Lately, I've been having flashbacks. Not the scary "wake-in-a-cold-sweat" kind, mind you.
Just those "I-feel-like-I'm-21-again" kind of flashbacks. Warm, fuzzy memories from a decade or two (or three) ago.
All thanks to a car that, in many ways, has turned back the clock to my early 20s.
Back then, my pride and joy was a Mazda RX-7 - at the time one of the best-looking, best-performed cars that a young bloke could dream to own. It's become something of a motoring classic - one of the best, affordable sports cars of its generation. Its lightweight construction, sleek lines and revvy rotary engine made it a delight to drive.
Those traits have been rekindled in the form of Subaru's much-hyped sports coupe, the BRZ - the product of an unlikely collaboration between erstwhile rivals, Subaru and Toyota.
The BRZ does break the Subaru rules in a couple of ways - it is driven through the rear wheels instead of the the company's legendary symmetrical all-wheel-drive.
And for a performance machine, it surprisingly forgoes the company's equally familiar turbo-charging in favour of a normally aspirated four-cylinder engine, albeit a good one - spinning willingly if lacking quite the top-end shove we've grown to expect from a sporty Suby.
Close my eyes for a minute and I could have been driving my beloved RX-7.
Like that iconic little coupe, the BRZ combines a revvy, feisty engine with a nimble chassis and low-slung, swoopy styling. Like the RX-7, it hits the market at an affordable price. And like the RX-7, I can imagine it gaining a real cult following.
It's clear there's been a conscious effort to give the car an unvarnished, raw style - from the rorty, barking exhaust note to the fact that the boot in our test car was unfinished - without so much as a square of carpet to cover the spare wheel in the cargo compartment.
The chunky sports steering wheel is devoid of such luxuries as audio or cruise-control buttons. Want to change the radio station, or the volume? The switch is right there on the dash, mate. Don't be so lazy.
Like another Mazda classic - the MX-5 - the BRZ's greatest appeal is that feel of a real, stripped-back sports machine.
It's not massively powerful - but it's very light - just 1256kg - which helps explain the missing wheel cover and the lack of other luxuries.
It is safe, mind you - with seven airbags and the requisite electronic stability aids; plus a few luxuries like Bluetooth, cruise control and a nifty engine start button.
The two-litre, horizontally opposed Boxer engine (which owes more to its Subaru parentage than Toyota) sounds great - particularly when it spins towards the 7500rpm red-line.
The fact it produces maximum power and torque beyond 6000rpm is an indication that this engine loves to rev.
The six-speed, close-ratio manual transmission has a notchy, short throw which makes it a delight to carve your way through the ratios. The clutch is light and progressive, the brakes powerful and fade-free.
The driving experience is raw, quick and pure fun. Not the fastest, but a car that certainly makes you feel as if you're going fast most of the time.
That's partly because you sit so low - the car's centre of gravity is just 460mm off the ground, which takes quite a bend to get yourself down into the cockpit.
By the numbers, it's not all that impressive - O-100km/h in 7.6 seconds is fairly ordinary. Its 147kW and 205Nm are similarly not earth-shattering.
That power is roughly on par with another of our favourite cars, the VW Golf GTI - although it probably lacks the mid-range shove of the turbo-charged German.
That's balanced by the fact that the BRZ sounds way better than the Golf when the whips are cracking.
And the BRZ loves corners. Absolutely gobbles them up, with awesome balance and not the slightest hint that you're about to break traction any time soon. Suffice to say this car's grip extends way, way beyond my bravery.
Steering feel is instant and absolute. You can literally feel the change in road texture through the wheel, so faithful is the feedback. The stability control settings can be altered to add further authenticity to the driving experience.
Even the BRZ's looks tend to mirror my old RX-7 - an elongated shape, long bonnet with raised wheel arches and a vast expanse of glass on the rear hatch.
It's a classic 2+2 machine and the back seats are very much an occasional proposition.
You'll probably prefer to have the back seats folded forward to free up a bit of extra cargo space.
Although even with the rear seats folded down there was no way my golf clubs could fit in, thanks to that big spare tyre taking up most of the space.
But even with golf clubs in the passenger seat beside me, this was still a totally satisfying weekend drive. And it's no chore to drive in weekday city traffic, either.
*The Subaru BRZ arrives in New Zealand on December 12, and the 12 models available have already been sold.

i think it might be a rematch of last years finals. although i would like to see something completely different. like pacers vs clippers, although not many people would probably watch that matchup lol.
time to start the fire woodson campaign
we win the game with better rotations. stat gets 20 minutes? jr gets 36? wtf
shump should have been out there more for defense as well. woodson is killing the team.
he's just a bad decision maker and way too shot happy to have the ball in his hands that much.
amare is too good to be sitting on the bench while jr is throwing up bricks and turning it over.

How I passed GPEN!!!
Most of you will remember that I wrote a post not so long ago that was called "Why I FAILED OSCP" http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,6315.msg33820/topicseen,1/
But here is a better one: How I PASSED GPEN!!!
It's gonna be quite short: I studied OSCP like crazy then I registered for the GIAC Certified Penetration Tester exam. I tried the first practice exam (it comes with two, like all GIAC exams) just to see where I was. I got 79% without studying! So I went on and read about US, Canadian and UK laws, look at the most popular hacking tools in Windows (Cain and the others), tried a few "pass the hash" attacks. Two weeks after, I wrote the exam and got 89% !!!
Ok, I am not braging right now. I was just astonished that by doing the OSCP course, I would be ready for GPEN in less than 3 weeks with minimal study. And the GPEN exam was in no way easy, but when you have manually done multiple times 85% of the content of GPEN, you are off for a good start!!
So I am happy because I know I am not a complete waste!! But I am also happy that I didn't have to pay almost $5000 for the SANS course to get ready for GPEN. Although I would have love to take it, my budget is happy I didn't...
So the next one will be CISSP, just to help me get contracts and learn more about "the other stuff" that we, pen testers, don't have to deal with everyday. I will tackle OSCP again next year...

text: Diagnostic Cardiac Testing Non-Invasive Imaging Through the advanced testing facilities in the Joel E. Smilow Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital, your physicians can learn all about your heart's condition, often without the need for an overnight stay. Nuclear medicine tests, peripheral vascular testing, stress tests electrocardiograms, exercise stress tests, Holter monitoring and echocardiograms are just some of the procedures available. Diagnostic Testing Sites Bridgeport Danbury Fairfield Milford Ridgefield Shelton Trumbull Cardiac Catheterization If your physician suspects that your chest pain is caused by a narrowing of the blood vessels of the heart, you may undergo cardiac catheterization in one of Bridgeport Hospital's state-of-the-art digital cardiac catheterization laboratories. Using the latest technology, cardiologists inject dye into the arteries to see if and where there is a blockage. Pictures taken during catheterizations help cardiologists plan the best course of treatment. This procedure is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Patients who undergo a cardiac catheterization at Bridgeport Hospital are usually discharged that same day. Peripheral Vascular Testing and Interventions Your physician may recommend peripheral vascular testing to examine the blood flow in your arms and legs. The Joel E. Smilow Heart Institute provides angiography or arteriography to check for blockages or narrow passages in the veins and arteries. These tests use a special dye and x-rays to highlight any blockages. This "road map" of the arteries serves as a guide for further treatment or surgery. If blockages are discovered during testing, specialists such as vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists or invasive cardiologists can perform angioplasty or stent placement at the same time. Pediatric Services With a pediatric cardiologist on staff, Bridgeport Hospital also performs diagnostic procedures for children with heart disease, and can treat arrhythmias and congestive heart failure in children, reducing the family's need to travel to distant treatment centers.

49 degrees here and 5 of 5 hives flying with some returning with pollen(bright orange). Just ending a chilly wet spell, so this is a happy day! More "winter" to come I know, but today gives me hope for a good spring.
49 degrees here and 5 of 5 hives flying with some returning with pollen(bright orange). Just ending a chilly wet spell, so this is a happy day! More "winter" to come I know, but today gives me hope for a good spring.
my bees were out in full force today too.
next saturday it's going to be 70 i might put on some pollen patties.
time to get ready to get busy, i think this may be another short tennessee winter
It's supposed to hit 60 here next Sat. I'll probably open mine up and check on stores and get my "bee fix", then will probably be another 8 weeks before I can open them again.
Undertakers were busy here today, from the sounds in the upper box I think they were moving a little honey too, One very alert guard head butted me in the nose, I guess I was being too nosey. Nice day here probably in the 50's , and by mid week even more of that wonderful warmth, but the down side is, they're going to use more of the stores, so keep a watch, here we still have a few more months before they get to forage.
Mine were busy as well. 7 of my 8 hives were busy cleaning out their dead. I popped the top on the one with no movement to find it completely dead. It was expected though, it was a small, weak hive that I should have combined with another prior to winter. Looked like there were no more than 100 bees in there, clustered around a nice supply of food. I suppose they froze to death in the last few nights. Bummer. At least the others seem to be doing well. Lesson learned.
I hope to be able to check mine tomorrow. I'm afraid that Mother Nature is just teasing us, and that it will probably get really cold before it gets better. I just hope the bees don't think it's spring yet. Remember that is was March when the blizzard hit in 93!

In the Ohio valley, computer weather models, state, 8 to 10 day forecast are like right after Christmas for the Valley, freight train snow storms for the next several weeks.
but remember these are models.
My two hives are closed up tight, I can't get into them, well at least till there is a sign of spring.

text: Have any of you tried this? It sounds labor intensive, but that is ok with me. It seems to be a method that would be a pain in lang' hives, but quite simple in a top bar hive. I have built 2 tbhs for this spring, both with screened bottoms and removable bottom boards that can be used as sticky boards for monitoring. One is all in cedar, the other in pine. My top bars are 16" usable length, and the hive has a 10" useable depth. I am putting Russian bees into both and hope to be able to manage by "fogging" the hives with powdered sugar occaissionaly to check mite levels. I have also started constrution of an observation top bar hive, built completely of plexiglass, like an aquarium. I am going to mount this on a wall of my shed. I hope to have a lot of fun with this one.


text: Hello All, I want to install a Kicker Hideway Subwoofer under the rear seat of my 2012 Silverado Extended Cab. (Link: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_20611HS8/Kicker-11HS8.html?tp=114) To do this, I need to connect it's harness to two speaker's wires (a left and a right), and I'm assuming the rear speaker wiring would be the easiest to get to since I'm installing this under the rear seat. Any idea where I can find this wiring in the rear of the cab? Does it run up a panel somewhere that's easy to get to? Thanks!
