Some of our best memories happened at this house. I just wish we could get their more often.
The Owner purchased this house in 2002
I remember my first time on St. George Island while attending college. It was and is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We always had a great time on the island. To have a large home at the end of the island in the plantation is a dream come true. I enjoy being able to share it with friends and family. I hope you enjoy it as well.
This house is perfect for 3 families to be able to stay at one place. The location of this property so close to the end of the island enables you to see the boats coming and going through Bob Sikes cut. Because we are so close to Bob Sikes cut you never know what you will catch when fishing from the dock. Trout, Red Fish, Sheep Head, whiting and many other fish are commonly caught from the dock. You will enjoy the view of the large shrimp boats coming back from the Gulf as the sun sets over the water.
This house was completed in September of 2002 & has just recently been put up for rent. The furnature is new and high quality. With the direct beach access and your own private bay front beach, you are able to get the total St George Island experence. Please enjoy the house and come back to this guestbook to let people know what you think.
We had 10 guys on our trip and this house was perfect for us. I could easily see 4 families staying here. We had more than enough beds and never felt crowded when in the kitchen, living room or out on the deck. The dock served us well...caught some reds, trout and some fun catching lady fish. The sunset view was incredible! We loved being so close to the cut and the beach was just a short walk. Awesome home, great layout and the owners maintain it well. Thanks again for sharing your perfect SGI home!!!
This is our 5th year staying at Sunset Serenity. We have a large family and every year look forward to spending time together in St. George. The house has everything we need, all the beds are comfortable and there's plenty of room for everyone. The fishing is great off of the dock and it's a quick walk to the beach. The sunsets are beautiful and you feel like your on a tropical Island. Thank you again for taking such great care of your beautiful home. We look forward to coming back again in 2014.
It had been my fisrt trip to the Florida pan-handle area and didn't know quite what to expect. My mind had been blown away. My wife's uncle had rented the house for a small family reunion and when we pulled up to this beautiful property, all i could think was WOW!!
The house could not have been in more perfect shape. The rooms were huge, nicely decorated with beach themes, the kitchen and living areas were especially nice and big considering i am a chef and cooked almost every night. The locals were wonderful, the fishing great, and the closeness of the beach was also a treat.
My wife and the other ladies in our party would be at the beach all day, while the men fished right off of the dock in our back yard. I loved the island itself-it sometimes felt like we had our own private little paradise!!!
A few little tips for new travelers going to the island...Try Lynn's Seafood for all of your retail seafood needs, Harry A's on the Island- Delicious food!!!. And if you want great Mexican, check out Pepper's in nearby Apalachicola.
What a trip and thank you for all of the wonderful memories!!! I will cherish them forever.
Always- Phillip Vamvakides + Family
We had a great time at the house. The long outside dining table made it easy for everyone to eat together and enjoy the outdoors. St. George Island is one of my favorite places to visit and relax, and this house is now my favirotie one on the island.
My family stayed here the week of July 4th, '04. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we ever spent at the beach. Our other trips have been to Panama City, Myrtle Beach, etc. St. George's Island was so appealing to us because it was so much more private (less commercial). We were afraid the kids wouldn't like that as much, but all of them loved it. The privacy/security of the plantation allowed all of them to walk and ride bicycles without the worries of 'party' beaches. We were there with our inlaws (the Rochelles) and some other family friends and all of us are already looking forward to '05. The accomodations are top-notch and there was plenty of room for everyone. The fishing was pretty dead around Bob Sikes Cut and on the beach, but that was true all over the island according to the bait shops. I guess the middle of summer is one of the slower times for fishing. We did catch quite a few trout off the dock at night fishing under the lights. I can't say enough about the vacation we had. My in-laws generousity and your beautiful residence allowed us to have a great week at a great place.
I hope the hurricanes this summer didn't damage your wonderful place. I thought about you every time I watched the news and tracked the storms.
Great vacation, I got my limit right off the dock for speckled trout. Will be back next year. I recommend to anyone who likes to get away.

Functional analysis of synthetic insectatachykinin analogs of recombinant neurokinin receptor expressing cells. Peptides. 23(11):1999-2005. Interpretive Summary: Neuropeptides are short chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that regulate aspects of reproduction, development and digestion that are critical for insect survival. Nevertheless, these insect peptides in and of themselves hold little promise as insect control agents because of susceptibility to being degraded in the target insect, and inability to pass through the outside skin (cuticle) and/or digestive tract of the insect. We must design neuropeptide mimics that resist degradation by enzymes in the digestive tract and blood of pest insects and enter efficiently via a topical or oral route. We report on the identification of portions of the peptide that are critical for activation of the active site within the insect, and those portions which can discriminate between active sites in insects versus mammals. This information will aid in the development of enzyme-resistant mimics capable of disrupting neuropeptide-regulated processes in insects. The work brings us one step closer to the development of practical neuropeptide-like substances that will be effective in controlling pest insects in an environmentally friendly fashion.
Technical Abstract: The activity of a series of synthetic tachykinin-like peptide analogs was studied by means of microscopic calcium imaging on recombinant neurokinin receptor expressing cell lines. A C-terminal pentapeptide (FTGMRa) is sufficient for activation of the stomoxytachykinin receptor (STKR) expressed in Schneider 2 cells. Replacement of amino acid residues at the position of the conserved phenylalanine (F) or arginine (R) residues by alanine (A) results in inactive peptides (when tested at 1 uM), whereas A-replacements of other positions do not abolish the biological activity of the resulting insectatachykinin-like analogs. Calcium imaging was also employed to compare the activity of C-terminally substituted tachykinin analogs on three different neurokinin receptors. The results indicate that the major pharmacological and evolutionary difference between tachykinin-related agonists for insect (STKR) and human (NK1 and NK2) receptors resides in the C-terminal amino acid residues (R versus M). A single C-terminal amino acid change can turn an STKR-agonist into an NK agonist and vice versa.

text: alright heres the deal, since I installed 10.3.6 every time i restart my computer my stereos speakers that I have hooked up to my computer sound all distorted. To fix it all i have to do is unplug and plug the cord to audio output on the back of my computer. Also I havent unplugged my audio cord from computer in a long time and i read on here someone was saying how 10.3.6 improved their speaker quality and he had to unplug and replug to hear the difference. I did this and maybe that had something to do with the distortion after start up. i have a dual 1.42 G4 btw.

A Bolder Gun Industry Brings Out Battlefield-Style WeaponsPaul M. Barrett
Recently I passed along a fascinating dispatch from an insider on the firearm industry's annual convention in Las Vegas. Richard Feldman, a former National Rifle Association lobbyist and trade group executive, predicted that gun manufacturers would follow a torrid 2013 by selling fewer rifles, shotguns, and handguns in 2014. He also explained why some in the industry are secretly pulling for Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 (think: fear marketing).
Today I'll follow up with a more granular, product-oriented assessment. Daniel Terrill writes for the website Guns.com, a source I consult for company and consumer trends, and he avoids the tendency common among gun writers of displaying unmitigated enthusiasm for every new weapon that comes onto the market. Here are some of his reflections on the just-completed Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade (SHOT) show:
"The show was more relaxed this year than last and a lot less focused on politics," he writes. The industry feels it has weathered the reaction to the Newtown school massacre of December 2012. Despite the NRA's dire warnings, gun-control advocates did not succeed in sharply restricting access to firearms. Firearm manufacturers and retailers are focusing more on business than on legislative debates.
"Smaller companies pushed tactical features," Terrill notes. "Tactical" is a term of art referring to military- and law-enforcement-style weapons. Manufacturers, Terrill reports, are continuing to market their wares to civilians by imitating the kinds of rifles and handguns preferred by SWAT divisions and special-operations troops. A company called Lancer, for example, "introduced a stock capable of holding two ammunition magazines, although only one can be loaded at a time," Terrill reports. Here's a video demo. I don't know who needs a rifle holding two magazines when you can easily carry a spare on your belt or in a pocket, but there you are. Gun-control advocates aren't going to be happy about this innovation, I predict.
Century Arms introduced an Americanized version of the Russian AK-47 semiautomatic military-style rifle. "This is just a weird, quirky design that intrigues AK and Century fans," Terrill reports. "I guess what I'm getting at is this year companies were a lot more comfortable talking about and introducing these types of products."
One may deplore the industry's emphasis on heavy firepower and battlefield stylings. Or one may see the new products as neat. Either way, the gun business is continuing to introduce models that allude to battlefield weaponry. The strategy assumes that consumers want to buy versions of the firearms depicted in cable news reports from war zones. Strong revenue figures in recent years indicate that this pitch is working.

DG06 – When Josh Harris Was Glad He Wasn't Mark Driscoll
Josh Harris reports from one of the discussion sessions - his whole post is great, but what stuck out for me was what he had to say about Driscoll:"Moment I Was Most Glad Not to Be Mark Driscoll: When John Piper gave warm pastoral adjustment and correction to him while he wasn't there.

There has been an interesting development in the live-blogging world that is unique to this conference - Tim Challies is finally getting some real competition! Nobody seems able to do the "Tim thing" for all the sessions, but there sure have been some people who have put up a remarkable effort for individual talks - presumably those that have particularly helped them.

Mark spoke today on the nine areas of theology we must hold and contend for in our left hand as we hold open our right hand to be … [Read more...]
Mark Driscoll on the Atonement Controversy
Driscoll is no neoliberal and his last blog post is very clear about the atonement: "In the fall of 2005, I preached a lengthy series on the accomplishments of Jesus crucifixion and came to realize that the cross was as foolish and offensive as ever. We had to call 911 for a woman who passed out during the sermon on blood. We had more than one angry person try and get on the stage to fight me during the propitiation sermon, which resulted in beefing up our security on Sundays and having a police … [Read more...]

Death by Ministry – Driscoll Explains the Pressures
Death by Ministry is a fantastic post by Mark Driscoll on the pressures of pastoral ministry and what to do about them to prevent becoming just another statistic like these:Fifteen hundred pastors leave the ministry each month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout, or contention in their churches.Fifty percent of pastors' marriages will end in divorce.Eighty percent of pastors and eighty-four percent of their spouses feel unqualified and discouraged in their role as pastors.Fifty percent of … [Read more...]

Of all the posts, there is no doubt in my mind that my old friend and blogging partner, the JollyBlogger, unquestionably has written the best.I have been urged to comment on this matter, mainly I guess because I am perceived as somewhat in favour of Driscoll following my previous interview with him. Against my better judgment, I have decided … [Read more...]
Driscoll – The Foul-Mouthed Preacher?
Challies Dot Com and THE pyromaniac have been speaking about the appropriateness of certain language for a Christian. This has been prompted by Tim's review of Driscoll's book.

For once, I'm going to let this one pass without comment and let y'all imagine what I think on the matter.I have bigger fish to fry - a sermon to whip into final shape for tomorrow! … [Read more...]

Doug Krizner: The retail numbers for Black Friday look decent -- more than $10 billion in sales. Not surprisingly -- it's because stores were working extra hard to get your business. Jaime Bedrin reports from New York.
Jaime Bedrin: Remember when you had to wait until after the holidays for the big sales? This year, retailers are so concerned about the economy they're doing just about everything to get your business.
Charmaine Tang is a Vice President in equity research with CitiGroup:
Charmaine Tang: The bottom line is driving traffic. Because most of these retailers, they're are all on negative traffic numbers from last year.
Tang says stores started aggressive promotions earlier this year. She says the discounting and incentives are expected to be more hardcore than in the past.
Tang: We've already started to see aggressive promotions out of Wal-Mart, moderate department stores like J.C. Penney and Kohl's. We think throughout the season, you're gonna continue to see this sort of stance right until Christmas eve.
Tang says clothing will be an especially good value this year. A warm fall left stores with a lot of excess inventory.
Saleswoman: OK, so total is $60.69. Thank you!
Skincare company Kiehl's is sticking to old-fashioned tactics. Clyde Johnson is an events director at Kiehl's:
Clyde Johnson: Offering samples, offering tea, candy canes. Depending on the length of the line, we might be offering deluxe samples to encourage people to stay.
And if the thought of standing in line turns you off, retailers are paying equal attention to cyber shoppers. Many sites are offering free shipping and complimentary gift wrap. Now that sounds like a deal.

Before we talk about what Lost - The Video Game is, we ought to breathe a sigh of relief for what it isn't. It isn't a first-person shooter; a re-run of Far Cry with Jack blasting Others in the jungle. It isn't a Tomb Raider action-adventure, with Locke playing Lara, leaping from cliff to cliff or clambering up vines as he makes his way into the Black Rock to get dynamite. Nor is it a survival strategy game featuring the different characters in different activities. Help Sawyer scavenge and barter, then try and stop Hurley scoffing all the food in station 3. For this we should be sincerely grateful.
Instead, Ubisoft has taken another tack and made Lost into what they're calling a survival adventure game capturing, as producer Gadi Pollack explains, "the meaning and experience of the show." The development team worked with the creative team behind Lost, including J.J. Abrams and Daman Lindelof, to build the basic vision, and did extensive focus-testing with both hardcore gamers and more casual Lost fans to find out what people wanted to see in a Lost game. The result is a game that hinges more on plot, characters and interaction than straight-up action; if people want to play Lost, then they want to feel like part of the show and get involved with the characters they know and love. Myst and Beyond Good and Evil are, apparently, key influences, which should play well to the show's mainstream audience.
Of course, this left Ubisoft with a problem: how do you build a new interactive thread around a series with a large, ensemble cast, an incredibly tangled plot, and a rabid fanbase that will spot any fudges or continuity errors introduced. The answer the team came up with was to introduce a new character with his own plotline and back story. "We decided to play a new character, and wanted to give players of the game a feeling that they could relate to this character and feel like they're having their own unique Lost experience" says Pollack.

an earlier T-Mobile roadmap leaked last July and is believed to be the BlackBerry Curve 9320. This is a low-end handset with a 240 x 320 (QVGA) resolution on its 2.44 inch display. It's worth noting that this is not a touchscreen model. ON October 29th, the carrier is planning a 'color refresh' for the Samsung Galaxy S II. On Halloween, the Huawei Summit is scheduled to launch, scaring you with tales about espionage and spying. On that same date, the top-end model of LG's Optimus L line, the LG Optimus L9 (hey, that rhymes!) should be making its debut. The device was officially introduced by the nation's fourth largest carrier this week and brings its 4.5 inch qHD display to the table.
Turning to November, the first launch of the month is expected to take place on November 7th with the release of the Samsung Toba. This is a new name that we haven't heard before. The next week, November 14th, we expect to see the launch of the Windows Phone 8 flagship for Taiwan's own HTC. Of course, we are referring to the HTC 8X. This phone has a ridiculous (we're saying that in a good way) 342ppi pixel density on its 4.3 inch Super LCD 2 screen and is another phone powered by the dual-core 1,5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM 8960. Lastly, also on the same day, the roadmap shows the Dell BMW which is expected to be a Windows 8 laptop.

Today Skype confirmed to The Verge that this isn't a bug in the beta release, but a limitation of the Windows Phone platform. While Windows introduced limited support for background processing with its Mango update, it's not enough to allow Skype to actively receive calls. Skype further indicated that they are currently unable to use a push-notification to launch Skype, the way some other WP7 VoIP apps do. It apparently takes too long to process the push notification, launch the app, and set up the call to be practical.
As a result, the final version of Skype will launch without the ability to receive background calls, and it will stay that way until Windows Phone 8 (Apollo) lands near the end of 2012. This shows there are still some big limitations in Microsoft's Windows Phone mobile operating system – Android has supported background processing forever, and iOS added it in version 4, so the Skype app on both of the dominant platforms can easily receive incoming calls.
This probably isn't a "make or break" issue for many users, and we don't want to cast an unnecessary pall over an otherwise solid and innovative OS, but it does show that Microsoft's mobile platform remains a work in progress more than a year after launch, as they still scramble to add some basic functionality to WP7.
Does this confirmation impact how likely you are to use Skype on Windows Phone? Or does it not seem like an important limitation to you? Let us know in the comments below!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by KGREG, Nov 1, 2010.
That is some sweet help.
In care you're one of the holdouts that doesn't think that Joe has gone insane, please read this... Pistons blog: Joe Dumars: We're not even close to trading Richard Hamilton | freep.com | Detroit Free Press http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=18080
beforte ranting, hold your breath : do you really think that somebody offers "young promising big men" or players worth of starting? most probably offers are "various versions of sixth player of the year" and Pistons already has those types ( stuckey, villaneuva, TMAC???) with overpayed salary as Rip's. I'm absolutely sure that for "promising big man" 1st round picks are demanded, and either daye or jerebko.
You don't see the point, Rip is holding up the team moving forward, we've all accepted the idea of sucking, but to suck with Daye glued to the bench or playing out of position or to suck because Ben Gordon can only get 4 shots in a game!!!!!! Rip isn't the reason why we suck, but he's part of the problem, it's time to move forward. FIRE JOE, he can't get it done anymore, I think it's clear he's lost his objectivity.
you simply "can't get rid of Rip" nobody wants his contract before lockout, that's why I said in my previous post that IMO most trade propositions offer similar contracts back. If you want to get rid of Rip right now, you have to sweeten the deal with 1st round picks, etc.
Rip is the team's major anvil. If we could comfortably hold onto him until Feb 2012, he'll be very tradeable as he'll technically be on an expiring contract -2012-2013 is only $3 mil guaranteed. The problem is he's becoming a huge distraction for this team. He hates playing with this loser group - he gets kicked out of games periodically because he has a 2004 mentality temper - he doesn't fit what the team needs anymore - he just doesn't try all that hard 100% of the time like he used to - and he's totally blocking the full integration of BG and Daye's development. Oh yeah, he's playing terrible BB and isn't even shooting a high percentage anymore. (Stuckey gets to line up with him, Ben Wallace, Maxiell and Tay - and we really expect him to run the team smoothly? Really? Let's wake up please. With this crap lineup, Stuckey's got crap to work with. It's amazing his stat line is as good as it is.) The problem is it will be very painful holding onto him. Too bad his attitude stinks. Personally, I'd deep bench him. A bad choice but possibly the best choice under the circumstances. What a clusterF**k unworkable situation.
I'm getting the feeling that Billups was the brains of the 2004 team. Without him the rest of the players just seem to have lost their way.
Agreed. Dumars needs to go. Not only has he not made any moves to improve this team in the last 4 years but one could argue that the moves he's made have actually done more harm than good. Successful franchises retool but remain competitive (San Antonio is the prime example, they've remained competitive while making changes to their roster to adapt to a decline in the skill level of their players or need to keep up with their main competition). The Pistons? Traded their all-star PG for cap space which Joe used on Ben Gordon and CV when we already had a starting SG and IMO could have hung on to Amir to see how he'd develop rather than overpay for CV. Instead of remaining competitive this franchise has once again sunk to the depths of the NBA. I'm not one of those fans who claims I could have done a better job that Dumars but at the same time I don't see how anyone can claim he knows what he's doing at this point.
Chaunce did claim to have a "cerebral touch".
Who, Amir - you mean the guy who started for Toronto last night in their win, going 5-5 and 4-4 at the free throw line - with 9 rebounds? That guy? But then again, Afflalo has been starting for Denver for ages now. And all for making room for Wilcox, who has yet to play hardly at all. Now, actually, if you look at the two things separately, with the Amir / Afflalo fiasco separated from the fiasco of loading us with two starting shooting guards, it ain't as bad. Amir should be starting aside Ben Wallace right now, with guys like CV and JMAX getting spot minutes after Monroe. Not that bad a setup. And Afflalo, not Ben Gordon, should be our other guard, vastly shoring up our perimeter D. (Along with Amir, who is excellent at helping on the perimeter for a big.) But say we had both yet, to Afflalo's detriment. You would have to have a coach who keeps Rip's and Gordon's minutes down, and forcing Gordon to play the point - but you could still have Afflalo giving us a lot of good work out on the perimeter. Depth don't hurt. So basically, between the two moves - getting nothing in return for letting Amir and Afflalo go has to be the silliest thing Dumar's has done lately.
What if we focus on the positives only (without sarcasm)? Top 5 moves of the last 3 seasons by our GM?
JJAhUmGive me a secAlmost there
Could you help us with this one...
I'm researching the topic, but having a hard time formulating a google query that returns anything positive. I'm going to try using some boolean operators. (another good bank name Roscoe!)
Top Ten Joe Dumars moves in the last 3 years 1. Drafting Jonas Jerebko 2. Drafting Greg Monroe 3. Drafting Austin Daye 4. Signing Ben Gordon 5. Signing Ben Wallace (the second time) 6. Signing Will Bynum (the first time) 7. Signing Tracy McGrady 8. Drafting Terrico White 9. Firing Michael Curry 10. Hiring Jon Kuester
Be patient, grasshopper. You'll see. Okay, so maybe it was a stretch thinking of recent good moves by Dumars. Give me credit for trying.
Top ten worst moves by Joe Dumars 10. Moving Corliss Williamson for cap space following the 2004 championship season. Corliss, in key games, like in the playoffs when it counts, gave us excellent post scoring. Not easily replaced. Note, I have railed against this move since it happened. Not talking hindsight here. 9. Letting Milicic go for nothing after he asked for a trade. Look, no other GM has a policy of giving away players just because they ask for a trade. And neither should Dumars. Bad business. 8. Drafting Rodney White at 9, as a young snot nosed kid - and then never getting anything for him in trade since we would not play him - because he was a young snot nosed kid. 7. Refusing to let Brian Cardinal play in our rotation in the year before Carlisle got here. 6.. Hiring Kuester 5. Hiring Curry. 4. Hiring Flip Saunders. 3. Letting Delfino go for nothing after he asked for a trade. 2. Letting Afflalo and Amir go for nothing. Just for cap space. 1. Trading Billups away for AI.
Man, I was a big fan of Corliss and hated that move too. He was our FG% leader in the Championship year. A guy with actual post moves, which is a lost art. What about taking a pass on Okur... who ended up being an all-star center in the Western Conference (not exactly a lightweight)? A career .380 3-point shooting 7 footer! Good job drafting him, bad job letting him go. You gotta make room for talented bigs since they are extremely rare. Tremaine Fowlkes got almost twice as many minutes in 2004 than our #2 draft pick. Joe is the anti Rambis. He has no appreciation for big man development. You know what he does have? An obsession with guards.
Corliss was a junkyard dog...

Hi everyone,
I'm excited to be a part of this forum. This looks to be the biggest website for WRX and subaru enthusiasts. I'm just hoping to meet some peeps, get some advice and hopefully some responses to my posts. I've posted on other forums and nobody seems to care or have an opinion! Argh!
I'm getting my WR blue 2012 WRX around the middle of this month. I have it on order. Before that I had a black 2006 Subaru Legacy GT limited.
Glad to be here!

The latest battle in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas (Operation Protective Edge) continued without any sign of letup. Israel's military continues ground operations inside Gaza, while Hamas has continued firing rockets and missiles at Israel. Israeli ground forces have taken casualties while Gazan casualties continue to grow.
Thus far, Palestinians living in Gaza have taken the brunt of the fighting. There have been hundreds of casualties and it is still unclear just how many of them are civilians and how many have been Hamas fighters. Media outlets are relying almost exclusively on Hamas and PA sources for casualty counts, and Hamas has been notorious with lying about who was killed and conflating their casualties with civilians.
It is indisputable that Israel has hit civilians, including children in the course of the fighting and trying to hit at Hamas terrorists who are entrenched in urban areas and firing at Israel from within civilian areas. Israel reports that they've killed at least 270 terrorists, while the UN indicates that 479 have been killed overall, including 364 civilians, 76 militants, and 39 who they can't classify. Gaza's Health Ministry puts the tally at 632 killed and nearly 3,800 wounded.
It is also indisputable that Hamas has no problem firing from civilian positions including schools and UN facilities. For the second time in a week, the UNRWA has found rocket caches in one of their facilities.
Hamas has become more brazen in where they're storing their weapons, all while their leaders cower in underground bunkers while Gazans who aren't connected with the leadership and don't have the means to protect themselves are taking the brunt of the damage with no where else to go.
It is also indisputable that but for Hamas firing rockets and missiles at Israel incessantly since even the last ceasefire in 2012 (all but one month had missile/mortar or rocket fire) that Israel would not have needed to invade Gaza once again after the latest rounds of barrages that have landed deep inside Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
The FAA may have succeeded in doing what Hamas couldn't do directly. After firing missiles in the direction of Ben Gurion Airport, Delta Airlines and a quick succession of other airlines decided that they didn't want to put their planes in harms' way. The FAA then ordered US airlines to halt flights to and from Israel for 24 hours. Other airlines also followed suit.
The airlines rightfully don't want to see their gear destroyed by the missiles or rockets, and that'll be more than enough to keep them away though it is strange that they are not willing to fly into Israel but haven't had issues with flights to/from or over other war zones and conflict regions in recent years, including Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ukraine (prior to the shoot down of Malaysian Air Flight 17).
The FAA order and its effect on the conflict can play out in one of two ways. It could force Israel to a ceasefire while Israel has not achieved its goals militarily so as to get flights to resume. If the flights remain shut down, it would have the effect of imposing economic harms on Israel (lost tourism/commerce) and indirectly strengthens Hamas' hand.
However, the concern for Israel's economy is just as likely to move Israel to mount an even larger military campaign into Gaza so as to eliminate the threat to Israel's only international airport and crush Hamas' capabilities once and for all. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu is likely to opt for the latter, knowing that his country needs the influx of tourists to keep the economy going and a prolonged shutdown would have dire consequences. Israeli public opinion isn't going to take this kind of existential threat to their livelihood and country; they're going to press ahead with rooting out Hamas if it means eliminating the threat to Israel's airport.
Until now, the primary justification for the Israeli ground assault has been to root out the tunnels and bunkers Hamas has used to bring weapons into Gaza from Sinai, store the weapons, and to infiltrate into Israel. The missile attacks near Ben Gurion are the kind of justification that Israel could make to continue its fight inside Gaza - to eliminate the threat to Israel's economy and transportation networks that fighting to clear the tunnels from Gaza didn't. It would potentially provide the open-ended invitation for Israel to remain in Gaza, a region Israel unilaterally withdrew from in 2005 as no nation would ever allow its key transit locations to be under constant threat from missiles and bombs.
Meanwhile, the diplomats are trying to formulate yet another cease fire proposal. It's actually a joke at this point. Everyone knows that the ceasefire agreement is going to end up being the same as all the prior deals between Israel and Hamas. Both sides will promise not to fire on the other beginning at X. Once X plus a given period Y has occurred, Israel will promise Z and Hamas will need to reciprocate with A. The ceasefire deals are essentially fill-in-the-blank and you can substitute the times, dates, and in the end, all that is left are the casualties on both sides to be buried and hospitalized.
It's nice that the diplomats and EU members are calling on Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza to be disarmed, but there's no indication of how or who would do what they propose. Hamas seems to have an answer to that question - they'll keep firing their munitions until they've expended their stockpiles. Israel will continue taking that fire until they have forced Hamas to expend all of its weapons.
Gazans will continue to suffer from Hamas actions and Israeli responses and both Israelis and Gazans will mourn their losses and curse Hamas. And that, unfortunately, is the takeaway.

My Ride: 2003 BMW 325XI Wagon
View My Garage
here's the new direction with the car. I decided that since the 80% mentioned earlier helped buy the car I should heed their expectations. Parts list below:
1. knitting needle kit
2. picnic basket
3. cardigan sweater and plaid golfing pants
4. 3 yawns
5. baby seat
6. custom AARP Card holder
Also, it's a 2003 with 60k miles on it, belonged to a long time BMW owner who traded it in along side a z3 on a 2010 335i convertible. I inspected the car right next to a BMW certified technician before buying it and of course checked the CAB's and axles. I'm only 16 though and all I've ever owned are civics and those look awesome with tons of stickers on them. It's going to be really hard to only put on the stick figure family stickers! But anything for you 80% guys!!!

Suge Knight Officially Appeals Kanye West Lawsuit Decision
Since his glory days as the imposing head of Death Row Records, Marion "Suge" Knight has been known for a series of legal snafus. After yet another recent arrest, it's also been uncovered that Knight has indeed followed through on his threat to appeal a judge's decision to throw out his case against Kanye West for a 2005 shooting at Miami's Shore nightclub. Knight wants more than $1 million in damages because West was hosting the party the night he was shot in the leg.
Knight's attorney, Mark Brumer, officially filed an appeal last Friday (Dec. 3) in Miami federal court. The appeal is in response to a judge's summary judgment last month in favor of West, in which he claimed there was absolutely no evidence that a shooting at the party was foreseeable or within the realm of Kanye's responsibilities. Knight maintains that it's West's fault for fostering an environment with lax security.
Adam Josephs, West's attorney, has previously called the lawsuit "ill-conceived" and is confident there is no reason to even bring the case to a legitimate trial.
Knight was recently arrested on a $40,000 bench warrant for failure to show up in a Los Angeles court to address driving with a suspended license and running through a stop sign.

anyone have one . and do you like.
Went to the range 2 weekends ago with two other guys. One of them brought his poly. 357 Taurus to shoot and it wouldn't fire. Either the cylinder locked up or it wouldn't close, whatever it was he couldn't shoot it. He made the comment that he just got it back from the dealer/shop and it was the third time acting up. He started bashing Taurus and I told him I have a stainless .357 Taurus with 4" barrel that hasn't given me problems in over a decade.
I would recommend a Ruger LCR, for I have the .38 version with XS Night sight zand CT grip and I love it. Which caliber you chose is your decision. Good Luck
Something about it being a Taurus....polymer....in .357 Magnum makes me think of a lot of scars may happen to my hand/wrist/face.
I'll pass. Sorry I couldn't add any real experience but I would be very leery.
This is somewhat unrelated but an interesting bit of info. If I recall correctly, at the Shot Show when Taurus first introduced the Poly .38 (two years ago I think?), someone asked one of the reps if they were trying to compete with the Ruger LCR, and the rep replied something to the tune of they had developed a polymer revolver five years ago but never brought it to production because they didn't think there would be a market.

Oprah's Top 4 Summer Reads
Editor of O Magazine Gayle King revealed their top4 picks from Oprah's Summer Reading List:
- Columbine by Dave Cullen
When we think of Columbine, we think of the Trench Coat Mafia; we think of Cassie Bernall, the girl we thought professed her faith before she was shot; and we think of the boy pulling himself out of a school window-the whole world was watching him. Now, in a riveting piece of journalism nearly ten years in the making, comes the story none of us knew. In this revelatory book, Dave Cullen has delivered a profile of teenage killers that goes to the heart of psychopathology. He lays bare the callous brutality of mastermind Eric Harris and the quavering, suicidal Dylan Klebold, who went to the prom three days earlier and obsessed about love in his journal.
- Provenance by Laney Salisbury & Aly Sujo
A tautly paced investigation of one the 20th century's most audacious art frauds, which generated hundreds of forgeries—many of them still hanging in prominent museums and private collections today
Provenance is the extraordinary narrative of one of the most far-reaching and elaborate deceptions in art history. Investigative reporters Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo brilliantly recount the tale of a great con man and unforgettable villain, John Drewe, and his sometimes unwitting accomplices.
Provenance reads like a well-plotted thriller, filled with unforgettable characters and told at a breakneck pace. But this is most certainly not fiction;Provenance is the meticulously researched and captivating account of one of the greatest cons in the history of art forgery.
- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton-and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy.
Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.
- Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horn by James Gavin
Though limited, mostly to guest singing appearances in splashy Hollywood musicals, "the beautiful Lena Horne," as she was often called, became a pioneering star for African Americans in the 1940s and fifties.
Gavin has gotten closer than any other writer to the celebrity who has lived in reclusion since 1998. From the Cotton Club's glory days and the back lots of Hollywood's biggest studios to the glitzy but bigoted hotels of Las Vegas's heyday, this behind-the-scenes look at an American icon is as much a story of the limits of the American dream as it is a masterful, ground-breaking biography.

Jim Rogers: The Commodities Boom Is Not Over
Jim Rogers, 'the Chinese-driven commodity boom is not over."
Savvy commodities analysts and participants including Jim Rogers have seen long-running Bull Markets stumble, falter and end, and some not so savvy folks try to predict their end, mostly missing the call. Instead of ending, the Bull Markets turned into a "frenzy" that finished in a "bubble."
"I haven't seen the frenzy yet," say Mr. Rogers, who correctly predicted this Chinese-driven a commodities boom. "I've been around markets long enough to know that when everybody's on one side of the boat, it's probably not the right side to be on.
"I don't see enough supply having come on stream in most commodities to end the Bull Market," Mr. Rogers says. "Agriculture inventories are near historical lows because the world has consumed more than it grows for a decade now. Many minerals companies have canceled capital spending programs because they, too, have heard from Wall Street that the boom is over."
Mr. Rogers likes raw Sugar and Nat Gas because their prices are depressed in here. While Sugar has been up the past few years, "it's still down 75% from its all-time high."
Regarding Nat Gas, he notes, "Many drillers have had to reduce their reserve estimates, and we are finding that production declines very quickly in shale Gas wells. When I see a company like Shell taking a $2-B write-down on its shale Gas assets, I take that seriously."
Mr. Rogers believes "we're going to have huge problems with agriculture and food in the next decade." One way to take advantage of this problem would be to invest in farmland, agricultural commodity indexes and stocks of seed and fertilizer companies.
Expecting the Bull Market in commodities to last, Mr. Rogers works in Singapore in order to be closer to China.
"China has been trying to slow its economy for quite some time now. They've had an inflation problem. They've had a real estate bubble. But I know . . . that something positive is going on in China and has been for a while. They are growing, they have a high savings rate, they have a high rate of investment, and they have huge international reserves," he says.
"The last time I bought Chinese stocks in a big way was November 2008. If and when there is a panic, I hope I am smart enough to buy again. My Chinese shares are not for sale. That does not apply to anything else I invest in," Mr. Rogers notes. China is the Key to supporting commodity prices, especially Gold.
Chinese demand for the precious Yellow metal has prevented Gold prices from falling. Its Gold imports have almost doubled this year, and the country is on track to become the largest, producer, consumer and importer of Gold, overtaking India as the #1 consumer.
"I don't think we fully understand the size and the appetite of the Chinese market and its implications for the global price," Jeremy East, global head of metals trading at Standard Chartered (LO:STAN) said at the London Bullion Market Association's conference in Rome.
The Big Q: were would the Gold price be if China had not come in and taken it up?
The Big A: without China's participation Gold may have tested its big support mark at 960/1,050
Investors should be aware that some big Gold holding may be reduced if the US Federal Reserve pares its economic stimulus effort (QE-3). If and when that happens, Chinese demand may not be able to support Gold prices further.
The problem is that much of the demand from China is related to the fall in Gold's price.
Like the central bank purchases China's consumers have helped establish a higher floor but they will not on their own drive Gold back up on a sustained basis. Stay tuned…

Have a look here
Ok I've had this card for awhile Windows recognizes it as a Prism 2.5 card... but Backtrack for some reason loads the Hermes drivers... kinda confusing. also when I do RFmon and try to lock into a certain channel when I run Airodump even when I tell it to only watch one channel it still captures every single channel. This is confusing as hell to Me.
Also packet injection only appears to work intermittently for Me... I'm not even sure it is working all in all I am confused as all hell any help would be appreciated....
The cards FCC ID is nI3-2511CD-PLUS3
Once again, the Wiki saves the day.
(hey, I even made that particular entry!)
The wiki guidance on workable cards is fine but additionally it might help you to know that to exclusively use hostap over all others:
pccardctl eject
rmmod orinoco_cs
rmmod orinoco
rmmod hermes
modprobe hostap_cs
pccardctl insert
Lux sit
So essentially you are saying that everytime i start backtrack i have to manually deinstall the drivers and reinstall them as the proper ones... well i guess it could be worse
Also i have another wifi card a Compaq WL110. Supposidly its the Hermes chipset but i cant seem to get it to work right in backtrack... it wont even load in kismet at all. it just errors out every time i try.
i have done searches for the specific card but its only listed in someone elses post asking if he should buy it.
yeah, sadly the only usb drive i have that would be big enough is an ipod... i dont think that would work
I had problems navigating the net with the Hermes drivers, so I used airdriver-ng to completely remove the prism drivers. Of course, you can remove the prism drivers manually, but airdriver made a good job .
Now I'm using hostap with my 2511CD and the navigation is much better than before, only need to wait until the injection issue is fixed.
I really need a way to launch a script to start the hostap driver within the desktop icon...

Wal-Mart sees holiday spirit in opening prices
November 10, 2003,
Wal-Mart believes opening price points will be the pre-eminent sales driver for the fourth quarter holiday season. And, sales gains will come largely because of easier comparisons against last year.
While retailers commonly compare selling days to forecast the critical selling period, Fitzsimmons argued that the formula is faulty. He told attendees at Lehman Brothers' Retail Field Trip that consumers will not buy bigger gifts because the season is longer. Seasonal categories provide better sense, but are not worth focusing on, he said.
However, he felt there is a link between Halloween and Christmas, and some of the whimsical trends at Halloween will do well into the holiday season. Early reads on Christmas are that snowmen themes and coordinated looks for parties will be important. Already, Wal-Mart's initial read on toy sales is much stronger than anticipated in this economy.
Wal-Mart recently launched a heavy television ad campaign for toys featuring a gingerbread character. The season will be more competitive with retailers "going after share," Fitzsimmons predicted.
He added, "This is no longer a consumer confidence slowdown, this is driven by real economic issues...The consumer is running out of money."
He added that Target has become more competitive.

Even though this thread has not been replied since 12-10-2012, I will still put my 2 cents worth.
Good on you for buying what is a hotrodders dream. I have a separate lathe/mill set up myself at home as well as everything else you can think of. I am a member of 3 machining websites which may help you if you are interested. If you can get to or apply for, do try and get into a night class for some extra learning.
Here are some other websites you can try:
Projects In Metal, LLC
homeshopmachinist.com: The Best Search Links on the Net
Practical Machinist - Largest Manufacturing Technology Forum on the Web
All of these are very friendly websites which can help you with your project(s).
Hope this helps in any way. If you can't get onto these sites just google them and they should load you up.
Below are some pics of what I have in my shop at home.
Just as a precaution, I would reccomend making sure you are up with your safety with respect to these machines. They are "NOT" toys!!!! Always use eye protection and "NEVER" leave the chuck key in the chuck. Read any manual you have/or can get and read it thoroughly. These machines can and will harm you(both seriously and fataly) if you are not careful. However, treat them with respect and use them for what they are intended and you will have many years of both fun and knowledge to pass onto someone else.
Happy machining!!!

Post-Game Video...
Mark Richt's Comments…
Georgia safety Bacarri Rambo broke up a Chris Todd pass at the 2-yard line with 1:16 remaining in the game, then lay motionless on the field for nearly 15 minutes. The crowd sat silent, occasionally rising to chant his name. When he was carted off the field, Rambo raised his arm, a signal to the crowd that to rise again, and the Bulldogs' defense followed suit.
Georgia sacked Todd on third-and-11 and his final heave on fourth down was broken up in the end zone by Bryan Evans and Brandon Boykin to preserve a 31-24 comeback win for the Bulldogs, who have now defeated Auburn four straight times.
"It's tough because you don't want to see a player go down, but we knew we had to win it for him," senior defensive tackle Jeff Owens said. "That's what he said out there. He said to just win it for him. He sacrificed his body on that play, so we knew we had to sacrifice for him also."
Rambo's play thwarted a potential touchdown, but it was his courage that sparked the defense's final rally.
Linebacker Rennie Curran and several other Bulldogs stood about three feet from Rambo's motionless body shouting words of encouragement and offering support. After a seemingly endless delay that was broken up only by the chants of "Rambo, Rambo" from the crowd, the freshman safety raised his hand and told his teammates to finish what he started.
"They got him up on the cart, and he started talking to us," Curran said. "We just let him know he didn't have anything to worry about it. We were going to win it for him."
After the game, head coach Mark Richt said Rambo was able to move his arms and legs and did not appear to have any serious long-term injuries, but he was knocked unconscious on the field by the play.
The long layoff left Auburn time to draw up its plans for a third-and-11 play from Georgia 23, trailing by seven, and it left Bulldogs defensive coordinator Willie Martinez enough time to spark his troops.
"They love Baccari a lot," Martinez said. "I said a couple of choice words, that I'm sure Baccari doesn't want us to let these guys score, and he laid it on the line for us. They were ready to play."
Todd, who finished the game 20-of-28 for 238 yards and two touchdowns, was sacked by Cornelius Washington for a loss of seven. Auburn followed with two timeouts then drew up a pass play to Mario Fannin in the end zone that Boykin read from the start.
"I knew they were going to throw him the ball, and I was just trying to focus on batting it away," said Boykin, Rambo's roommate and close friend. "I managed to get a hand on it, but he still tried to make a play on the ball. Bryan came over and got a hit on him, and I felt great when I saw the ball hit the ground and everybody started cheering."
The win didn't come easily, even before Rambo's injury.
The momentum belonged to Auburn early, and Georgia's defense looked helpless against the Tigers' up-tempo offense.
Todd hit a handful of big plays, but it was the short passes and the screens and the hurry-up tempo that demolished Georgia's defense. Todd connected on 9-of-10 passes in the first quarter and Auburn marched down the field for consecutive scores on its first two drives.
Todd hit Darvin Adams three times on the opening drive for gains of 11, 18 and 17 and capped the drive with a 5-yard touchdown to Kodi Burns. After a three-and-out by Georgia, Todd returned to the field and helped the Tigers convert three third-and-longs on their next drive, which culminated with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Terrell Zachary for a 14-0 lead.
"We knew they were going to move the ball, but we were trying to get a feel for them," Boykin said. "They were minor mistakes on our part, and we knew if we could stop the run game we'd have a chance in the passing game, and that's what we did."
Georgia roared back with a bevy of big plays in the passing game.
Quarterback Joe Cox was without star receiver A.J. Green, who left the game with a left shoulder sprain, but hooked up with little-used sophomore Israel Troupe for a 50-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
Cox went back to work in the second half, connecting on big plays to tight end Orson Charles and receiver Tavarres King, both of which set up touchdowns runs by Georgia's suddenly rejuvenated ground game.
Caleb King scored twice in the fourth quarter for Georgia, including on a 24-yard run with 6:52 left to play that proved to be the difference in the game.
"It was a 25 zone and before the play, (center) Ben (Jones) just said, 'Stick in behind me,' and I said OK," King said. "I listen to Ben, and I just followed him and scored the touchdown."
In between, Georgia's defense made all the right adjustments.
The Tigers scored on a 99-yard kick return by Demond Washington with 14:11 left in the game, but the Bulldogs' defense held Auburn to just three points after the first two scoring drives.
"The way we came out in the first quarter, we was on fire," Auburn tailback Ben Tate said. "Then we just kind of fizzled out. We just have to learn how to keep our foot down on the pedal and finish teams."
The key to the turnaround was the determination of the defense, Martinez said. While it was Rambo's words that inspired the Bulldogs on the final two plays, the team had kept its spirits up throughout.
"That second series was the most disappointing because we got them in third down three times, and we let them off the hook," Martinez said. "But the guys weren't down. They were really up and we were telling them, 'Hey, we're right there. We've just got to execute and get off the field on third down."
It turned out to be a bitter disappointment for Auburn, whose senior class will wrap up their careers without a win over the Bulldogs.
For Georgia, the win meant bowl eligibility, and more importantly, it meant there was still more to play for this season.
"I just want to finish up this season strong and have something to be proud of," Cox said. "There's a lot of things that we wish we could have done better. But we know what type of team we can be, and what's in the past is in the past. All we can worry about is how we finish these last few games, and we've made some good steps toward how we want to finish. Now it's just a matter of keeping it going."

I purchased two 3lbs packages both with Italian Queens on 4/19/08. I was recommended to start with this type being new to beekeeping.
I've always wondered about that type comment to new beekeepers. I wonder if the person saying it has anything other than Italians, has ever even tried other bees. The comment suggests there is something wrong with other types, to a point that one can not consider starting with something other than Italians. I also wonder how many of these comments are based on that being the type bees that many packages comes with. So is this a marketing comment suggesting getting the bees that are coming up on the back of the truck of the person making that statement?
In looking at it now, I wish I had asked from the start for those choosing the "feral, mutt" option, of whether that means letting them "raise their own" or actually grafting from a selected queen.
A good amount of my queens go for other people's walk away splits.

Arraignment Expected Today in Kentwood Shooting
It could be just after lunch Tuesday that the Kentwood police are able to take their shooting suspect to court for arraignment, the formal reading of the charges.
The arrest came late Monday as Grand Rapids police helped the Kentwood detctives pick up the 18-year old suspect.
WOOD TV's Ken Kolker tells us the suspect may be just 18, but he aleady has a felony rap sheet that includes a 90-day sentence imposed this past March for a CCW violation and 60 days in jail for marijuana possession.
The homeowner at the scene of the shooting, on Farmview Court east of Stauffer in Kentwood Sunday night, had told WOOD it was a gang shooting when a large group tried to force its way into his daughter's graduation party.

any tool/package to solve markov chain?
Now, I got a Markov chain and expressed as x=xP where x is the steady state
probability vector and P is the transition matrix. Since the dimension of P
is very big (up to 5000 * 5000), I am hoping that there is a tool or package
in MATHEMATICA to solve this?
Can you please give some link or reference for this?Thank you very much for
your inforamtion.

Convincing. Raf, can you do a colour comparison on this pic? The greys I'm interested in are the light grey at the six o clock position to the dent, the darker grey immediately below this point and the grey of the brow trim... thanks...
Yea, that pic is the interesting one fellas, and the area I remember doing a good amount of dissection on when doing ESB. The '6 o'clock' area Garrett mentions, definitely appears to have two different greys - the little upside down 'c' type shape appears lighter, while the grey underneath it appears darker. The lighter shade by eye, appears to be similar to the grey on the red trim, though this could be thrown off with the greys playing off the other base colours. But I definitely went with two types of grey around the dent, and this could also be some sort of evidence, that two different shades of grey were indeed used around the helmet..
But looking at the dent and the long scratch behind it, it seems that the darker gray is present all the way. I need to look at some images to see if that is the case or not.
1. Superjedi. Awesome as always.
2. Raf. You are the man
Great discussion and pics! I've gotten to the point where I almost don't see an
entire helmet when I look at those pics. . . I just see little sections of damage.
But that third pic Raf posted in post #29 is very interesting. In that pic, whether it's
due to lighting or the angle, it seems that the lighter "upside down C" under the dent
matches the mandible gray, while the other gray is slightly darker. Hmm. . .
Yeah, it is interesting and another example of how ridiculous the detail is on this helmet! I tend to go a slightly darker grey on the dome and lower cheeks as opposed to the trim and the back panels, a similar concept to the two shades of red on the mandibles and trim I suppose...
I'd say it's ridiculous how closely we study these minute details! But the more that is
learned about the reference pics, the better the replicas become, and that's a good thing!
UPDATE: October 19, 2013
There will be a slight pause after this update because my company is sending me on travel
starting tomorrow. But I'll be back at it in a few days.
I've completed all the remaining red areas behind the ears. Still using my gray/silver/maroon
combo, and I'll continue on with this for the remainder of the mandible areas.
This area will wind up looking different once the thumbprints are applied. There will be some
white streaking coming back from the lower thumbprint, which will give it a slight washed appearance.
I've also made it around the ear platform and just started on the front portion. Here's the left
corner of the T-visor.
So that's it for the next few days. I should have internet access where I'm going, so I'll
be able to check in on all you crazy TDHers.
UPDATE: October 24, 2013
OK, back from my trip and back to work on the helmet.
I've continued onto the band above the visor cutout. This is the left half completed.
Same colors, and some very fine scratches added with my compass point. You can
see that I've laid down the base gray around on the right half as well. I'll detail this
portion next with silver and the maroon color.
UPDATE: October 26, 2013
Here are 2 pics to show the last couple days' progress.
First, the right side of the band above the visor cutout.
I did the left mandible after that. Lots of juicy detail here!
I'll begin laying out the damage on the right mandible next. That's the last "major" portion
that remains. There are some additional weathering stages to do, including the white
thumbprints, pastel application, the tan/rust spatter, and the grease stains on the back
of the dome.
I also have the ears and RF assembly to do. We're well over the hump and on the way
to a completed helmet!
UPDATE: October 30, 2013
Whew! Got lots done over the past 3 or 4 days. After about 7 sessions, I got the right
mandible done. This area always makes me cross-eyed. It's one of the most detail-intensive
parts of the helmet, and it takes constant checking of the reference pics to make sure the
shapes and proportions of the damage are as close as they can be.
This area, and the whole helmet, will receive a bit of the pale contrasting gray. So even
after all that effort, it's still not quite done! But there's much less of the pale gray on the
front of the helmet than on the back.
Also seen above is the brass Borden connector. The Borden received a thin wash of a light
green/gray mixture to give it a sort of patinated look, like "old" brass. The wash is applied
sparingly to allow the base metal show through. Then it was detailed with a bit of silver.
When I didn't have quite as much time to spend on the helmet itself, I worked on the left ear.
The white arch was masked and airbrushed on, with chips courtesy of Winsor & Newton
masking fluid. It was then detailed with light gray and red. The black markings were done
with dry transfer (rub-on) lettering. I used 2 capital E's and 2 tiny squares cut from other letters.
I use a bolt-on method of ear attachment, so they are removable. The ear is yet to receive its
final weathering with some tan/brown staining near the bottom.
So now all of the "major" painting on the helmet is complete! Final details and weathering to come.
Glad you like it, Mathias!
UPDATE: Halloween, 2013
Hello all you spooky ghoulish TDHers! As October comes to a close, I have begun
working on the helmet's weathering effects. I began with the odd patches of pale gray.
There has been a lot of debate on this color, and what it represents. Some believe that
it is the helmet's original gelcoat where the paint has been scraped or rubbed away. Or
it could be an additional layer/primer that was laid down before the real painting began.
Either way, it's a very cool feature of the ESB helmet. I use a very pale bluish-gray acrylic
craft paint to add this color. The color is called Blue Wisp by Ceramcoat.
Here are a couple of pics showing how this color "hides" depending on the light source and
the viewing angle. First, the back panels. This shot, in more direct light, barely shows
any hint of the contrasting color.
When the helmet is rotated so that the light falls at a more oblique angle, the color pops into view.
There are several other small areas where this color appears. The next most evident area is down
the outer edge of the right mandible. Here's an angle showing that the color blends with the silver.
But when the helmet is rotated away from the light, it becomes more apparent.
There are very fine traces of this color within the dent. Viewed in direct light, the color is
slightly evident, but not fully realized.
Change the angle, and those fine lines and scratches come into view.
So there you have the beginning of the weathering stages! In the picture above, you can
also see a portion of the "fade" below the killstripes.
I have also done the white thumbprints around the killstripes. . . but I forgot to take pics.
More to come!
Great explanations with images of the base gray's effect. According to the Boba Fett - Progress Report (from Oct. 3rd, 1978) the 6th helmet was painted grey and sent to U.S.A., so we might talk about the ESB Hero helmet.
As always, your paint thread(s) is(are) very informative and fun to watch. keep up the already great work, Eric!
Looks great! You certainly got the base grey spot on. I think it's possible the helmet colour is the yellowish hue we see under the right hand ear pieces, the base grey appears to be a layer on top of this...
Raf, interesting info about helmet #6.
Garrett, the yellowish hue. . . do you mean the gap between the upper and lower ear pieces?
I've always seen this as the same pale gray as is found scattered over the helmet.
Oh, OK. I watched that video only once. I'll check it out again and see if
I can spot what you're talking about.
Thanks, Raf! Yeah, I had watched the video again but had no way to do screen grabs.
To me, that yellowish color appears to be the base color of the gelcoat/resin.
UPDATE: November 5, 2013
Remember, remember. . .
I got the circuit board mounted in the keyslots. Had to use a flash to get the details,
so the colors are a little blown out.
I also got the base coat down on the RF ear parts yesterday, and today started the
detail painting with the lower half. The ear is just hanging by the bolts, so it's not quite
in the proper position.
I'll work on masking and painting the black arch on the upper piece next. Once all the
detail painting is complete, the RF ear parts will get some light pastel weathering, then
a flat coat. Once the flat coat is on, I'll mask and spray the metallic portions.
Forgive me if you have posted this in one of your other threads and I just missed it but how do you go about attaching the ears on these helmets? Clearly it is with some sort of screw but are you sinking nuts into the ears and then screwing the bolts into them from inside the helmet or sinking screws into the ears and have the bolts on the inside of the helmet or some other way?
Hi Pred,
No problem. Check this thread for a more detailed description of my ear attachment method.
It's in post #21.
I've been using this method for resin ears for several years now.
Sweet! Thanks for the info.
One quick question about it, do you fill in the hole you created to level it off or just coat the top of the screw head?
