Products for fine hair
I'm a 2b/2c/3a with hair cut just above the shoulder. My hair is normal porosity but seems to be pretty fine. I've discovered that I need to clarify my hair on a nearly daily basis, and after a long time using lovely shampoos and conditioners recommended by Naturally Curly users, I have returned to using a drugstore shampoo (ugh) followed by Mop Top conditioner. The shampoo seems to clarify my hair so it isn't weighed down, but I really dislike putting chemicals on my hair.
My question, though, is about styling products. I've tried lots of different types--Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper, Mop Top light gel, Curl Junkie Coffee Coco Curl Creme Lite, and AG ReCoil. The product that works best is AG ReCoil. It gives me great clumping and nice, bouncy curls. My problem is that when I use AG ReCoil or any of the other products, by the end of the day (after about 8 or 10 hours), my hair is frizzy and limp. I've tried combining the above styling products and have not found a long-lasting styling solution. I've tried using Coco Curl Creme on dry hair but that doesn't help either. Can anyone suggest a product that can hold my fine hair all day?
The three products you mentioned (CJ CCCC-lite, ReCoil and CK) all have polyquat 10. ReCoil has 55 as one of it's first ingredients. My hair doesn't care for polyquats. I always wondered why gel gives me frizz and discovered that it's the reason why. While Curl Chemist told me they didn't build up, I found that I needed a shampoo with a strong surfactant to remove them. You may have similar issues.
My hair prefers the more natural products. I stay away from chemicals, especially polyquats. I use "jelly" products--gelatinous consistency, no chemicals along with leave in/curl enhancer. Many of my favorites are in my signature.
I agree with KathyMack...I also seem to have hard time with glycerin and polyquats, makes my hair dry and frizzy...I use cleansing shampoo (curl junkie cleansing shampoo) about every 3-4 washes, I have horrible well water, which causes build up issues....I find the jelly products also work best, when used in moderation for my fine hair. I for some reason have been using the deva foam, which has polyquats in the ingredient list, but since Im already clarifying, I havent noticed any real issues.

I am new to this forum and site but had a question about recommended products for 2c gals with very fine hair. (low porosity for me) I have baby fine hair and got a Deva style cut about a week ago. I also have a very sensitive scalp.
Bought the shampoo (low-poo) and love it but also bought the B-leave in styler and am finding a few challenges. I don't have the 1hr. needed to let my root clipped and B-leaved hair dry naturally as per my tutuorial at the salon. Am following all steps; product in while hair wet, scrunch to take moisture out with my microfibre gloves, pinning at scalp for lift.(after a diffused root and overall quick dry for setting) Finding the B-leave is letting me down a bit on the hold and frizz fighting.
Any alternative products that can be suggested are appreciated for :
curl definition
frizz fighting (only goes away when air dried)
volume and hold
Products used:
Deva low-poo shampoo (every other day)(previously used Recoil curl shampoo)
Arctic Sun hypoallergenic conditioner
Deva B'leave in (previously AG Details cream)
Used to add a spritz with homemade sea salt spray the odd day.
I shampoo every other day but each day wet and condition as my hair is so fine it holds no curl overnight.
First photo is my hair using LowPoo & B'Leave and air drying , second is just using AG Details and no Deva Curl products & diffuser used to dry hair)
3B, Fine, Med D, Norm P&E
LowP: Kinky Curly Come Clean (50% EVOO)
NoP: As I Am CC
RO: Suave Tropical Coconut/VO5 Shea Cashmere
LI: KCKT/ CJBCLI/HETT/HENOYF (mixed w/ GSO)
Thanks for the recommendations. Will figure out the acronyms and consider them.
Evoo-extra virgin olive oil
KCKT-kinky curly knot today
CJBCLI-curl junkie beauticurls leave in

Jason Aldean Makes Huge 2014 Tour Announcement
Jason Aldean has been tweeting some hints recently as to a big announcement regarding 2014. Well, today, he let the cat out of the bag! He is going to be adding lots of really, really cool venues to his 'Burn It Down' tour this spring and summer.
Check out the full story from Billy Dukes…
Jason Aldean announced his 2014 touring plans on 'Good Morning America' on Thursday morning (Jan. 9). The 'When She Says Baby' singer will take Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr along on the Burn It Down Tour this spring and summer, stopping in nearly 50 cities and playing multiple baseball stadiums.
This announcement reveals the answer to a week's worth of clues uncovered at his Facebook page, like a picture of Screech from 'Saved by the Bell' (actor Dustin Diamond). Other hints were the fire, baseball seat and a box of matches. Aldean is expected to make another announcement at MLB.com at 2:30PM ET Thursday. He's partnered with Major League Baseball for the tour.
Confirmed dates for the tour have not been revealed. Farr and FGL are currently on the 2014 Night Train Tour with Aldean. The first Burn It Down Tour date is expected to be in early May.
In addition to several baseball stadiums, Aldean will play venues like LSU Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La. on May 25. Last year, he played shows at Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston. He tells 'Good Morning America' host Robin Roberts that he always wanted to be a baseball player, but "the problem is, I didn't have any power."

Two moms walk into a Chinese restaurant
(This is not a joke.)
By Susan Konig
My friend Julia and I love to meet for dinner once a month without husbands or kids. We usually go to the same Chinese restaurant and order the same dishes. It's really not about the dining experience; it's about talking and laughing and catching up. It's about completing sentences without being interrupted.
I know married couples are supposed to do this — get away from the house and the kids and the chores, have a date night. But frankly, my husband and I rarely get around to it because we have to book a babysitter, choose a mutually agreeable restaurant, and think of things to talk about. We are easily irritated and actually prefer staying home to enjoy a movie and ice cream after the kids go to sleep.
Going out with a friend is less stressful. My loving husband is often ready to take on our four kids and Julia's two for a night of pizza and cartoons. So we girls have two hours just to relax and be the people we used to be before we were moms. Occasionally, over egg rolls, we even end up talking about literature or something we learned in college before chauffeuring kids to lessons, setting up play dates, and nuking chicken fingers put our brains on intellectual pause.
When the kids were little, we had a Friday morning club. Four or five moms would meet at one mom's house, and it would be her day. Say there was a kitchen stool to be painted, a crib to dismantle, copy to be written, or a design due on a job. That person would have the time to do that job and the other moms would watch her kids and drink tea and socialize.
We got a lot done in those days. Some jobs, though, never saw completion. I wanted to hang picture racks in my living room. After a mom helped me put one up using a level and a power drill, I decided to paint the other two before hanging them. They are still sitting unpainted in my basement, and my living room wall has one lonely picture rack off to one side still waiting for the other two.
I felt badly about this until I went to my friend Sue Ellen's house. She showed me the hallway where she had painted one wall when it was her turn one Friday. "I never painted the other walls after that. Just never got around to it."
"Never got around to it" — the refrain of the busy mom. Yet if you asked us what the best part was from those Fridays before our kids were off to full days of school and crazy schedules, it wasn't the household or work tasks we completed (or at least started); it was the camaraderie, the laughs, even the tears. At this point, we've been through a lot together: colds, flus, broken arms, cancer, divorce, our babies becoming teenagers.
On nights when we've finished eating and it's still early, Julia and I debate whether or not to head home. "We could go over to K-mart for a half hour," she'll suggest.
"And not have children pulling at us as we browse sheets and towels?" I gasp. "Do we dare?"
The bright lights beckon. We decide to be daring and roam the aisles. And we don't go home until 8:30! CD

Haha- what tipped you off gfd..... the big words that make NO sense or the blue smiley face winking at you on the top of "allan's" post? hahahahahahaha
Sounds like Allan is a Nutt... oh wait.....
Makes ya wonder about spammers. I mean, why this thread to post some crap like that in? Not exactly the most high-traffic thread going. And then what in that post is supposed to make me say "Oooooo, I *want* to click on THAT!"? Nothing. Hardly an enticing post to shuck your wares.
I guess if the zombies attacked spammers, they'd get very little caloric satisfaction from those brains....
Mush be already starting to fall, guy came in the shop today and said that he seen one of the bucks on his property yesterday with only one side. And it was one he knew of and seen through the gun season and on camera.
Maybe I can get a chance to go look myself this weekend if the rain has stopped by then.
They are dropping here had a big 7 drop his around Christmas & a big 13 drop his last week no sign of any will be looking again this weekend
The snow is melting here in North central MO so I'll prob start heading out this weekend to search for them. It'll be mushroom time before we know it!

Amazon Executive Pays $165,000 For Fake Tom Petty To Play His Wedding
NME reports that an executive from Amazon, Brian Valentine, was conned for $165,000 after booking a "fake" Tom Petty to perform at his wedding. He wanted Tom Perry and the Heartbreakers at his wedding in July (to Amazon vice president Gianna Puerini), since the two got engaged at a Heartbreakers concert in Seattle in June 2010.
He paid the deposit to the now-defunct group Lund Live, who claimed to book acts like Petty, Run DMC and Ludacris. Valentine got in touch with Petty's management company, who had no knowledge of the payment. He then contacted the FBI, who arrested the site's owner Chad "Chris" Lund for fraud. He will appear in court today.
Even with the problems, Valentine was still able to book the band to play a full set at his wedding.
Petty previously headlined the Isle of Wight festival earlier this summer as part of their first live UK dates in twenty years. Shortly before their world tour, they offered a reward for $74,998 for the safe return of five guitars which were stolen from their Los Angeles rehearsal area. A security guard at Culver Studios (where the band was practicing) was arrested for the crime.

Kevin Vickers was different. Most high-ranking cops, at least to native eyes, would come rolling into Burnt Church, N.B., with two or three other officers in tow, looking and acting like what they were: outsiders.
But not RCMP Inspector Vickers.
He was dispatched to the troubled Burnt Church wharf 14 years ago to keep the peace between native and non-native fishermen during a tense and, at times, violent dispute over native lobster fishing rights. Whether on duty or off, the inspector would show up in the community, often alone, and often with his white shirtsleeves rolled up, ready to listen.
He knew the fishermen by their first names. He defused the tensions however he could.
"The inspector was a real community man," says Bobby Sylliboy, a longtime band constable with the Burnt Church First Nation. "People around here, let me tell you, they hold him in the highest regard. He was this 6-foot-3, non-native guy, coming to our reserve — and even coming to our Christmas vigils. He was hard to miss. He was a Down East guy, just a guy from the Miramichi.
"But to us, he was the chief."
To Canadians he is being hailed as a hero, a decorated police veteran and now Sergeant-at-Arms on Parliament Hill who, during a tense and tragic day in Ottawa, is being credited with killing the gunman run amok in the Parliament buildings. Despite the incident, Vickers was back at work first thing this morning as MPs returned to Parliament.
"MPs and Hill staff owe their safety, even lives, to Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers who shot [an] attacker just outside the MPs' caucus rooms," tweeted Craig Scott, the NDP MP for Toronto-Danforth. "I am safe and profoundly grateful to Sgt.-at-Arms Kevin Vickers and our security forces for the selfless act of keeping us safe," tweeted Julian Fantino, the Minister of Veterans Affairs.
While social media was buzzing with praise the phone lines in Miramichi, N.B., the 58-year-old Vickers' hometown, were ringing nonstop. Several of Mr. Vickers' cousins had gathered together to be close, and to be thankful that their relative was safe. But also to tell stories about the kid they used to play road hockey and cops and robbers with around the Vickers modest family home out on the Old King George Highway. It was practically a dead-end street. There were woods all around. There was Kevin, and his three younger brothers and an older sister, always heading outside, always ready to play.
"It is a small town, and I am three years older than Kevin, but we all hung out together," says Keith Vickers, a cousin who grew up across the street. "Kevin, with his personality, first of all he is a very intelligent man. And he is also very pragmatic. So for him to be able to react to the situation in Ottawa the way he did, and to do it quickly, it doesn't surprise me."
Policing is in the Vickers' blood. Uncle Benny Vickers was a chief in Blacks Harbour. Another cousin is in the RCMP. Kevin Vickers' son, Andrew, is a Miramichi constable and, just like his old man, a hero. Const. Andrew Vickers dove into the frigid, fast-flowing waters of the Miramichi River three years ago to rescue a drowning woman. It was an apparent suicide attempt, one prevented by an act of bravery that the young officer was later cited for in a speech in Parliament.
Now his father has saved the day in Ottawa.
He is a hero, although, says his cousin, Keith, if you were to call him that he would shrug it off — and maybe even blush about it. He was a cop for almost 30 years and never shot anyone. He crisscrossed the country with the RCMP, from Calgary to Toronto, from Yellowknife to Burnt Church. He became the sergeant-at-arms eight years ago. On Wednesday, in a moment of crisis on Parliament Hill, he is credited with taking a life, to save who knows how many.
His younger brother, John, is an artist in Vancouver. He was shocked by the events in Ottawa, but not surprised to hear of his brother's role in them.
"All the time that Kevin has been involved in the RCMP, and now as a sergeant-at-arms, he always put the people and the country first in everything he did," Mr. Vickers told the
Vancouver Sun
Wednesday morning. "It was never about him. It was about service to country and it didn't surprise me that he's reached the heights he did."
Out in Burnt Church, Bobby Sylliboy was thinking about the cop he once knew. He was always different. He wasn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
"We sure missed him around here when he left," Mr. Sylliboy says. "He was a professional. And for him to use force, it would have had to have been life or death."

Four student ambassadors from Muslim countries will be speaking at University of Alaska Southeast tonight about their stay in the U.S.
The four students are attending Thunder Mountain High School on scholarships provided by the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES). They will talk about their culture, share some stories of their Juneau experiences, and discuss their role as student ambassadors for their home countries.
Kaleb McGoey reports from TMHS.
Omar says he has enjoyed his stay in Juneau and feels the experience has been an opportunity for personal growth.
"It's made a change in my character and my skills, all of this has changed," he says.
Before he arrived he admits to some preconceived views of the west, shaped by the mass media.
"I knew about the U.S. from the American movies and what we see in the media. If you look at American movies you think they're (Americans) rich and all living great lives and driving Lamborghinis."
Omar says when he got here that he thought he would be judged for being from an Arab country and being Muslim.
"I was worried about coming to Alaska, but I was wrong because I have really great family and friends. And the people around me are very open minded," he says.
Gary Roach, the cooking teacher at Thunder Mountain, says all four students are fitting in very well.
"Omar was good enough to lead classes during extension and lunch on Arabic and Muslim culture, which I attended. He showed me the alphabet.
Omar is from Egypt. He likes sports, has played basketball at TMHS and plans to try out for the baseball team. He hopes to become a member of the Egyptian national rowing team and plans to attend medical school. He's also teaching Arabic to some Juneau parents, elementary and high school students.
Berçem is from Turkey and says she's never traveled outside her home country. She has learned most of her English here. She says she likes the American school system better than Turkey, because she gets to choose her classes. She's played volleyball at TMHS, and is participating in the Model UN program.
Berçem hopes to attend medical school to become a doctor of neurology.
She says one of her biggest challenges here has been the food. With her host family she enjoys Alaska seafood, but at school, "because we don't have more options, it just makes us fat."
As for being a student ambassador, Berçem says being Muslim sometimes colors her meetings with new people.
"Some people really acts like rude, but some people acts like they think about us different because they don't know, and they want to know. So we tell what we think, how we live, how is being a Muslim," she says.
Rich Moniak and his partner are Berçem's host parents. He's also a member of Juneau People for Peace and Justice, which has worked with the YES program to bring the four students to Juneau this year.
YES is funded by U.S. State Department grants. Moniak says since 2003, 300 to 400 Muslim students from 38 countries have come to America to study each year, and "to become integrated with students in the U.S. to share what their life and culture is like, so we can understand it better and they can bring home a better understanding of our culture and our people."
Muslim Student Ambassadors in Juneau speak at 7 o'clock tonight (Friday, Feb. 17) in the UAS Egan Lecture Hall.

It's spec I had the same problem just took it out and went southbend
to spec-
why would my problem be fixed by replacing your brand new disk with an oem?
on an o2o with everything else new, it would not disengage.
exactly! tho I do still need to replace the clutch, I am just going to buy the sach's oem clutch. If this fixes my problem clearly the spec clutch will have been my issue, what if anything is going to be done for me at that point? Why would I want another new spec clutch to replace the broken one when I have a good new working oem clutch in the car?
can anyone say...class action???
They said it was because it was not installed professionally but they didn't make the disc right. Google it, so many cars are having this problem
"Professionally" is a cute term.
I was a vw/audi/porsche tech for 4 1/2 years...
But i dont do it now. So im not a professional. Haha!
doesnt even matter, I have had mine installed professionally but since I didnt buy it through the mechanic no one will cover it...mechanic says its the part, SPEC says its the mechanic
veedub...did you send the kit back to us for assessment. If so, you would have an RMA#. I would be happy to look up the details so we can discuss this further.
way2, the same question applies to you. I don't know the details of your situation so forgive me for needing context. Is it possible that you recevied a disc that was overly thick? I suppose so, but this would have been assessed if the parts were sent in for examination. Additionally, having a disc that is bent would make it overly thick too...and this can occur as a result of installation. I am not being accusational, I am just making sure that you understand that there can be different causes that have the same effect.
jag, we have checked the parts and they are within tolerance and functioned as they should when assessed. I understand your frustration and the difficulty of the situation and have offered to check them out again in an effort to assist you. Let me know if you need an RMA# for this. Thanks!
I have the disc sitting on my bench. Thickness was within .005" of a brand new sachs disc. Its probably the eleventh or twelfth o2o clutch ive installed. New thrust plate, tob, bolts for flywheel too. Torqued to specification in 5 steps. I didnt have any way to check it for runout, but the alignment tool would stick out of the flywheel with yours, and sit inside the flywheel with the sachs. Zero disengagement with yours. Fine with the new sachs disc.
The new Sach's clutch will be put in this Thursday, so once I get it out I will have to ship it out to you. Heres the thing, I already shipped it to you once, that cost me roughly $200 due to fact I had to overnight it because you guys shut down for about 2 weeks in the middle of the summer. I dont want to waste my time and money just to hear the same answer as before. This is all not even to mention the fact that even if you do deem the part broken that all you will do is replace it. And once I finally have my car back together and working with this sachs clutch, there is no way I would tear into it again just to put your clutch back in that may or may not work...
way2, I want to better understand what you mean relative to the alignment tool. Do you have picstures of this?
jag, If you want to send them back I will check them out again. As memory serves you didn't buy this kit from us directly...so my ability to help you would be relative to parts, if there is an issue found. The choice is yours...but I will continue to do what I can to help.
who would of guessed!?! I put in a brand new OEM clutch and it must be magic but my car shifts and has no engagement disengagement issues! talk to you soon SPEC
Good deal...call me at your convenience. Thanks!
No pics. But ill gladly send you the disk for review and replacement.
Way, when and where were the parts bought? Also, what is the part number of the kit you have.
Sv282. Ordered from thmotorsports.com on 12/10/10.
at your convenience and I will be happy to speak with you. Thanks!
BBB complain opened...will post up what happens
Bump for updates jag
I have a spec clutch kit that just arrived I have yet to install,
I have read 30-50 horror stories tonight only
At least they are in the same city as me, I think I'll stop by their shop
techtonics hill climb/dragster 1978 16v abf 2.0 big turbo scirocco
Message me for parts mk1-3
I am unable to really say much, because I had to sign something, so I will just pm you, and anyone if you are interested feel free to PM me...
I personally installed one of Specs clutches in a customers MKIII and it failed to release properly too. IMO, they make and sell junk that doesn't work. When pressed about why you get the same answer everytime, send it in to be checked. Well who has time to have their car down and what customer is going to pay for their clutch and trans to be pulled over and over until Spec gets it right? One would think that with all of the complaints they get about vw clutches they would stop marketing and selling this crap until they get it right, but no they just keep selling them and insisting they work. I tell everyone ever contemplating a Spec clutch to stay away from them because they don't work.
I don't usually drink, but when I do, I drink Jagermeister!"
you hit the nail on the head my friend, I even did send the POS clutch out and my car sat for 6 weeks only for them to tell me it worked fine still when it most certainly still did not...scammers

Returning home this holiday was bittersweet for one military member.
Preston Bignell is taking a break from book camp to celebrate Christmas but also to grieve the loss of a beloved uncle.
On Friday he surprised his sister and cousins at the Ridge View Community School.
Last month, their uncle Rick suffered a heart attack, after hunting, and died.
His wife fondly recalls his love of family and says his legacy lives on in them.
The army approved his time off at the last minute so his return home was a pleasant surprise for the whole family.

18 Ways To Make Your Desk More Delightful
It may not be "Hump Day," but there are many other ways to keep things fun during the work week. Try some of these ideas, and they might give you as much delight as GEICO customer service.
1. Cultivate a Zen garden with your "coworkers."
The force is strong in this garden.
2. Keep a desk plant. Make sure no herbivores eat it.
This desk is dino-mite!
3. Find inspiration from Pinterest.
If you don't have succulents, bunting, embroidery, a terrarium, and crocheted doilies on your desk, what is wrong with you?
4. Have everything on your desk match.
Because uniformity can also give you a Zen feeling.
5. Hang your photos up with clothes pins.
If meetings don't give you delight, maybe the darling faces of your children/friends/significant other will? C'mon. You can brag about them.
6. Make use of your window seat with a solar powered desk toy.
Sunlight makes your body happy, and your toys happy!
7. Decorate your desk area with little figurines. They can keep you company.
Bonus points if they were made on a 3D printer!
8. And if you don't have any toys, you can always make one with your binder clips.
You could make a binder clip army.
9. Hedgehogs are adorable. And great as paper clip holders.
A real one might be more trouble though.
10. Dogs are excellent tape dispensers.
Who knew tape could be so delightful?
11. And wouldn't you know? Fish are excellent at stapling.
And now your papers are all in a row.
12. You can turn your desk into a SAFARI!
It's the latest craze.
13. Add googly eyes to all of your desk supplies.
Everything is 10x funnier with googly eyes.
14. You might not even mind taking notes if this is your case.
15. Set up an impromtu game of desketball.
Loser has to buy coffee.
16. A DIY catapult is super delightful!
(But maybe not for your target!)
17. In a pinch, horsehead masks can make any meeting eventful.
Your Office Literally Owns (This).

Religion is in the air today at the Obama White House, and not just because the Rev. Al Sharpton is here.
For one thing, it's the National Day of Prayer - and yet another contrast with the George W. Bush administration.
Obama will honor the day with a proclamation. Bush held an annual formal ceremony for the National Day of Prayer, featuring such prominent evangelical backers as James Dobson.
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs pointed out that, prior to Bush, proclamations were the norm. "Privately," Gibbs said, the president will "pray as he does every day."
Meanwhile, Oval colleague Cathy Lynn Grossman writes on our Faith & Reason blog that a group of enthusiastic Mormons has posthumously baptized Obama's mother. The Oval says check it out.

Enamel Paint, or why I hate renting
My husband and I have run across the same problem with every apartment or house we've rented: porcelain bath and kitchen fixtures painted with cheap enamel. It takes a matter of a few months for it to not just start chipping, but flaking off in large sheets, looking horrible and exposing the porcelain below to the elements. As a result (as I'm sure you can imagine) our sinks and bathtubs look just awful.
Since our landlord claims that this is technically "damage" that we did to the house, we will be responsible for fixing it before our lease is up. What is going to be the best course of action here? Literally half of the paint has fallen away by now, so do we just remove the rest of the paint, clean the porcelain, and repaint the entire thing?
If anybody has any experience with this, I would be most grateful. :)
My experience is there are no (DIY available) coatings that will adhere to porcelain fixtures
Not for very long anyway
Usually within a matter of months they not only just start chipping, but flaking off in large sheets, looking horrible and exposing the porcelain below to the elements. As a result (as I'm sure you can imagine) the sinks and bathtubs look just awful.
I'm not kidding
There is no way he can possibly blame you for that
It is normal wear and tear...it was a crappy "fix" to begin with
Any DIY fix has a hugely high chance of looking like that within a year
Whoever painted them in the first place did it wrong
And there are no real right ways to paint those things anyway
That's what happens when you do it, that's what those "kits" from Home depot look like after a few months
That's what anything you do will look like after a few months
Yep Slick nailed it. As a diyer porcelain refinishing should be done by a pro. I also agree that you can not be held liable, unless you were the one that tried that cheap fix. I hope that you took pictures before you moved in. I am curious as to what kitchen fixtures that you are refering? lights?
"I am curious as to what kitchen fixtures that you are refering? lights?"
Just the sink, actually, but it looks really horrible.
And thank you both so much for your info. This was very good to know, and I'm so glad I checked in here before I went to Home Depot and got the stuff anyway! I'll hold my ground when the time comes to decide who's responsible for what damage. :)
You absolutely cannot be held responsible for the situation you described
In fact, it's the other way around
The landlord/super/maintenance dept. is responsible, as the coating was substandard, incorrect, and/or improperly applied
And, if is causing coating (paint) flakes in the water you prepare your food with and wash your dishes in, you could be exposed to (who knows what) contamination
If you have more than a few weeks left, you may have some good reasons to have them fix it correctly (or replace it) now
Yup. Landlord's got a problem- not you. Don't give him one penny towards fixing that.
Maybe you should rent in a different area :)

Tarentum Bridge upgrade on hold
Don't believe everything you read.
Especially if it's a sign indicating the Tarentum Bridge might soon be closed.
Plans to repave the bridge, the main artery linking Tarentum and News Kensington, are on hold until spring because of the cold temperatures, according to PennDOT.
The work is part of a $7.7 million project to improve about 1.6 miles of Route 366 from the New Kensington side of the Tarentum Bridge to Bull Creek Road, west of the Route 28 interchange in Fawn.
"Bridge Closed" signs were visible on the side of the Tarentum Bridge Road in New Kensington during the past several days.
But PennDOT and its contractor, Golden Triangle Construction Co. of Imperial, agreed on Tuesday not to proceed with the bridge paving, according to Jim Struzzi, PennDOT spokesman for District 11.
"Because of the early, cold temperatures and the type of asphalt we need to use for the bridge, we have to move the paving of the bridge to next spring when it's warmer," Struzzi said.
"We had hoped to get it done this fall," said Struzzi, adding that there's a chance that the paving of the bridge could happen if "we have unseasonably warm temperatures in the next month."
For now, the plan is to hold off on repaving for the bridge. When PennDOT does begin the work, the bridge will be closed to traffic in one direction for two weekends, Struzzi said.
Paving for the remainder of the project is expected to be complete by late November or early December, he said.
The Route 366 overall project includes concrete reconstruction, drainage, concrete ramps and curbs, sidewalks, better guard rails and other work on nearly 2 miles of Route 366 from the New Kensington side of the bridge to the two-lane section of Bull Creek Road west of the Route 28 interchange in Fawn.
About 22,000 vehicles travel that section of Route 366 daily, while the Tarentum Bridge carries about 21,000 vehicles each day, according to PennDOT.

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Update (7/30/09): David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez tested positive for PEDs in 2003.
With the news of Manny using steroids, it's reached a point where the common baseball fan no longer has much faith in the players we've cheered for in the past. Most notably on the Red Sox, if you take a look at David Ortiz's beginning to this season, you start to wonder whether his previous talent was a reflection of his true skill, or potentially just the result of some performance-enhancing drugs.
Uncharacteristically, Ortiz showed up to camp early in Spring Training this season. He'd lost weight and was eager to get a head start on the season. At first thought, you'd think he was wanting to build on what he had done in the previous seasons. But now, you have to wonder, was he trying to find a way to somehow "make up" for his lost "talent" due to no longer using performance-enhancing substances?
Besides the obvious complete stat drop-off in numbers this season…
David Ortiz Career Stats (Courtesy of baseballreference.com)
Let's look historically at how long it has taken Ortiz to hit his first homerun of the year:
Ortiz has now earned himself a SlumpBot .200 entry for his start to the season. Here's their diagnosis:
An overweight, beloved Boston 1B/DH who completely falls off the map as soon as he hits his mid-30s? Yeah, we've seen this movie before, right Mo Vaughn? This year, Ortiz is striking out more, walking less, fouling off more pitches — which suggests reduced bat speed — and hardly driving anything except his car to Fenway. Red Sox hiitting coach Dave Magadan described what he's doing: "Kind of jumping at the ball, almost cheating to get to balls, then you become susceptible to the offspeed pitch." No kidding.
Just like Mo Vaughn, right… Mitchell Report. Check.
And what about the Manny trade? What did Ortiz have to say about it? Here's a quote from him (August 2, 2008):
Ortiz isn't with the "Manny-is-gone-hip-hip-hooray" program just yet. He, more than anyone, benefitted from Ramirez's presence.
"I wasn't happy," said Ortiz, referring to his demeanor when the trade was announced late Thursday afternoon. "I am going to miss him, of course. We have been through a lot together."
And more from the Herald (July 31, 2008):
Ortiz wouldn't specify what kind of help he believed the Red Sox needed to garner before today's 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline. He did, however, offer his analysis regarding whether or not the team needs Ramirez around for another World Series run.
"Of course," Ortiz said. "Definitely."
Ortiz then turned the tables, grabbing a tape recorder and asking the questions.
"Why don't you tell me what we need?" he said.
With his apparent anger over the Manny trade, we need reconsider Ortiz's comments with our new context. Why is Ortiz not happy about trading away a player causing nothing but clubhouse problems? Shouldn't he be happy to have the team cleansed of such problems?
Eckersley made the point a few games ago that you have to start considering removing Ortiz from the lineup, or at least pushing him down in the order if his numbers don't improve. Luckily so far, Ortiz's lack of performance doesn't seem to be hindering the Sox. Yet, there's going to come a time, when Francona needs to consider whether or not he can depend on Ortiz to produce, especially when he is consistently not producing.
Maybe he's just off to a really slow start. Maybe he can't get his swing back to where it was. Or maybe…his head's not in the game. Maybe there's a reason why.
Tags: David Ortiz, Pure Conjecture
Perhaps it's the sad decline. Even in his decline, I think Ortiz is good for 25 HRs and 100 RBIs, which is just a guess.
I expected he'd have a couple HRs by now, but that's not the case. I hope he didn't take 'roids like his buddy Manny!
I am taking a trip to the sweet land of "Vindication"

Amora Hotel Wellington
170 Wakefield Street, Wellington
0.5 km from
Friendly staff member upon check in, helpful with car parking. Excellent view of Wellington. We were put in a room next door to a generator or air con unit, there was a constant noise like having a dryer going, and a scratching/creaking against the wall where the bed was. Could not sleep so checked out at 430 am and drove home to get some sleep, was not asked if we enjoyed our stay.
Having friends in the same hotel!
Staff very friendly, service good and very handy to Wellington Central.
We had a waterfront view that was beautiful. The room felt luxurious. It was big with a nice size bathroom also. The location was perfect for checking out the town. Clues to Cuba Street, Te Papa Museum, the waterfront and downtown. It was far too expensive for us to eat there. Continental breakfast was $50 for two. Too much money for toast.
Central to all that we wanted to do which was catch up with brother from Sydney Australia so cancel out a sober driver and do not waste money in a taxi home - so for that perfect and added an element of romance.
Its centrality The bathroom had a bad smelling drain twice through the day, but it cleared at night. I also had to pay personally rather than through my university's account as pre-arranged, as there seemed to be a problem with the systems at reception.
Convenience in a safe and secure environment
the large room and cleanliness of the room it really is out of our price range
The view & proximity to shops etc Smell of old cigarette smoke in the room
Central locality, nice staff, comfy bed, nice bathroom No wine in mini bar! Repair work needed on ceiling in bathroom above shower - a bit shoddy
Convenient - proximity to Te Papa. Accessability. Ready availability and response from staff. Efficient. Good hospitable and friendly atmosphere. Bathroom starting to appear a bit tired - in terms of maintenance (peeling paper, cracked tiles, etc) rather than in terms of the actual amenities.
The service and friendly staff and special mention to reception and Sonia (restraunt am) The pillows in the room had no depth or support
Great location, friendly staff, nice views
The views from the room and it's proximity to the city. Bathroom though functional was a bit small.
Excellent views across the bay, short walk to city center. The room should have had a safety deposit box, but didn't. I like to store my valuables, which couldn't.
I enjoyed overlooking the boats in the marina, and seeing the city lights on the harbour at night.
The room, the view, the restaurant and the curtious staff Nothing
The location is excellent and close to Courtney place with the nightlife. The staff were friendly and helpful. The views from the rooms were great. The quality was average, but the bathroon is poorly set up. It was impossible to turn the shower on without get wet. The water did not drain away prperly. The toweks were small.The room was warm but the hotel was quite cold.
I liked the luxery and cleanliness of the room. The view was lovely and the vicinity to the city was convenient. There was no spa pool.
The staff were cooperaative and extremely helpful. Wonderful
The room was excellent with a fantastic view over the bay, & very convenient for the retaurants.
The Vista suites are part of another building and do not have airconditioning. The rooms are small by todays standards. It was quite a warm day and night and the windows and door had to be opened. Given Wellington is so windy this has its drawbacks and especially noise overnight.
The location, view, balcony, bed, space, The coffee in the Dining room, I would like to have known about the small bar/coffee area, just outside the dining room initially as I would have used it.
This is a nice hotel in a good location. the staff are friendly but somewhat ineffectual in relation to our issues. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. the bathroom was generous and well appointed. There is a reasonable gym and a small lap pool We had a bad room: the air-conditioning did not work for all of the three nights we stayed there. So the nights were stuffy and had to leave a door open until the noise was too much. This room is right under the restaurant kitchen so we got a lot of floor noise especially at cleaning up time from 10 pm till after midnight and then again for breakfast in the morning. We know kitchens make noise so they can't be criticised but it was a bad choice to locate a room underneath. We did not eat there at all. There are many good restaurants nearby with prices and menus that are more attractive. I understand the hotel has been refurbished but I did not think for the price we should have had to discover the problems.
Familiarity - I have been here before. High class with interesting decour in a vibrant city. The entrance from an "underground" car park does not do the hotel justice
We appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the service they provide. We also enjoy the environment and location.
the location was excellent for the Te Papa museum, but a bit of a trek from other central facilities. the room was comfortable and well equipped. the harbour view room did have a limited view of the harbour, but mainly of the Te Papa museum, which is so vast it blocks much else out. We found the breakfast rather over-priced and pretentious - we had to ask for butter and, when it came, it was a tiny pat scarcely adequate for one, but in a tiny china container.
The decor is spectacular... the staff are very attentive and client focussed Nothing!!
The gorgeous foyer and art. The proximity to the pier, restaurants and shopping. The rooms didn't really match / were a step down from the first impression in the foyer.
Very relaxing - staff very helpful. Will visit again! We were interupted early for room cleaning - esp when we were not checking out.
Staff so friendly and helpful. Coffee recieved at the desk was quite revolting....
Staff were super friendly and accommodating. There is a modern and boutique style room, the staff happily changed my room and made my stay enjoyable. Rooms were large with a very comfortable bed. Also had an espresso coffee machine in the room!
The atmosphere in the downstairs lobby, the convenient location the great room rate. The ground coffee I received on checking in. The cooking smells on the third floor, the shower - not strong enough.
The walk in area, the corridors and the and the quietness are all good. The room was spacious. I thought a few of the staff on the counter lacked the quality of the hotel. They asked me me payment after i had made an internet booking/payment and nd were not as friendly/smile as the cost of the hotel would suggest.
Had a very comfortable room.Good&close to other resturants &TePapa
Very pleasant and helpful staff, clean and bright and very reasonable tariff for excellent location in downtown Wellington
Quick nand easy breakfasts No outdoor area such as a small terrace to sit on.
It was central to all our requirements - Te Papa, city shopping, cafes, restaurants and Opera House. We could leave our car parked safely at the hotel while we walked to these venues. The lack of airconditioning. We needed to leave our windows open for air and it was very noisy out in the street.
Very helpful efficient staff, processed payment fast all excellent
I had a back room and I appreciated the quiet.
the staff offered a friendly,efficiant service & always with a smile, which sadley, is all to often neglected.
this hotel did not live up to my expectations its was very unprofessional managed and at peak times in the morning the front desk was under manned to the breakfast or lack of breackfast service all in all an experince not to be repeated
excellent service from the staff. Treated very well . Accommodating to my requests ie later check out.
Location and Parking, Pleasant room, very good evening meal We didn't appreciate the poor dress of people in the dining area at breakfast. One man in a tank top exposing tatoo and arms, another man in beach shorts and scruffy shirt, jandals.In Europe this would not be permitted in the hotel and often in the towns
The friendly and helpful staff at all times.The location of the hotel.
The only thing that I like about the appartment was the location
Location and access to reasonable and close parking. Well equipped kitchen and laundry. Modern design. Only a single seat lounge chair in sitting room facing TV. Room was booked for a couple. Only option for second person was to sit on floor or straight back dining chair. Noise levels from the street. Windows had to be be open due to lack of air conditioning
Nice new modern trendy and friendly. Maybe airconditioning
Friendly and accommodating staff. Great location. Was on 3rd floor facing Tory Street. Lots of early morning street noise (mainly garbage truck and street sweepers).
New apartments, very well equipped and very central. Kitt was our main point of contact on the reception desk and he was extremely helpful. If you recieve and apartment at the back you will most certainly experience noise as you are a matter of feet away from a multi storey car park.
There were no pots, pans etc to utilize the cooking facilities
The rooms were very clean, bright and new. Appliances worked well and it had everything we needed for a longer stay. Nothing - it was great.
location good size room and amenites getting bed bugs!!!!!
right next door to a wonderful food shop, and close to the opera we went to minor point, but TV not visible from loung seats! needs to be on a swing bracket mount
Location to centre city, room quality and size. Very hot early morning when sun hit windows, too noisy to open doors, need air conditioning.
Location, within walking distance to shopping areas, Tepapa and some fine Restaurants. The cooking facilitates were good, Bathroom great, really liked the fact that there was a bath as well as a shower. Found it firstly confusing to access the carpark and the apartment, on our arrival. Found that the stairs were difficult to access, especially when called to evacuate the building during a fire alarm. Sometimes it was a inconvenience to use swipe card to operate lift,door to apartment and to control the power.
Friendly staff in the restaurant at breakfast .
Bay Plaza was clean, comfortable and quiet - considering how close it was to a very busy road. For me it was perfectly well placed for easy access to Downstage Theatre which was my specific destination, to my friends' apartment in Cable Rd/St and to the Embassy Theatre. I would recommend it for it's cleanliness and convenience.
This hotel is so well positioned and belongs to bye gone era which new hotels do not have .It has its own retro feel about .it is the best hotel in Welly. Do not like television but if I did one would have to tv is poor receprion wise . Glad that it is so.Internet booking did not come through just as well we had our print out.
We were early and could go to our room, the room was heated and wellcoming no
Staff were helpful and friendly on front desk and in restaurant. Rooms are very small and quite dated, felt it was a bit over priced. Phone didn't work but staff may not have been aware as it was very dusty!
It was close to the venue I was attending. Also close to shopping. It would be good if there was some sort of air conditioning in the rooms as it was very hot and the window do not open enough to make a difference.
location Room decor
nice staff and location a bit old, need some renovation
convinient location to Te Papa and restaurants Ideal location for transfer to RV rental vehicles for tourists window catch broken
Close to Te Papa and restaurants. Small tv and no balcony. Quite noisy at night.
The location - being central was excellent - that and the free dinner that evening next door at Blend - that was an unexpected bonus. The frontline staff weren't good - spent ages waiting at reception to check-in whilst two of them "fluffed about" over one customer. We wanted to ask about the location of somewhere we needed to find but, frankly, couldn't be bothered waiting to get their attention. It felt as though they were "overdoing" the whole reception thing.
The free meal voucher and the two-for-one drinks at thebar next door. For a cold Wellington weekend there were insuffiencient bed clothes.
God atmosphere in bar The rates were too high. If I were staying another night, I could have got a private room in a 5 star hotel for 10 nzd cheaper, over two nights in a private room
it was in a good spot that i could not chek in tall 2pm.but apart from that it was all good
location is perfect very dearty, don`t look under the bed!, very loud at night
Clean room, modern bathroom, Sky TV, and all for an excellent price. Highly recommended.
Staff were courteous. Our booked room had not been vacated so they bumped us up to better rooms. Rooms were quite small. My room was supposed to have a TV. I asked for one but never got it. Quite a lot of noise late at night from a nearby pub.
location and ease of use. Friendly counter staff bit noisy and beds were a bit uncomfortable
It was very clean and the shower was really good! Great location as well near to everything and the staff were really helpful and down to earth It was defiantly aimed at younger travelers as the bar next door was a little noisy, however I was staying on a Saturday night.
The room that we were in was right above a night club so returning from tea at about 10.30 we were hit with a boom boom boom so loud that you could feel your beds moving, so no sleep was had till the wee small hours, no good when you have a big day ahead. I think if you are going to put people in this room your price should reflect it, you could try putting a staff member up there for night and see how they feel in morning,
Convenience, location and value for money
i liked the ease of booking and friendly staff the noise- having a 6am flight one morning, i wasnt impressed my the lack of sound proofing or even consideration of the on site club. i was on the 5th level and could still clearly hear the music. The bed was reeeeealy uncomfy and it wasnt as central to the shopping central and i was told
extremely disappointing after satying at Base Auckland Kitchen, TV room far too small for size of hostel
Clean and well organised, appreciated the bag storage when we got in. The people in the room next to us were SO loud, late into the night. Also, there were a couple of staff who seemed to be more interested in messing around than in doing their jobs, while holding up the elevator.
The beds were clean, they had an all-female floor, so we felt safer. The staff were also extremely helpful and tried their best to make us comfortable, even putting us into an empty room

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA thats a bitch. how much you pay?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA thats a bitch. how much you pay?
I paid $70 for a peice of paper lmao. the fucked up part is I used to be real good friends with the kid I bought it off but its been prolly 2 years since we chilled though.
Its whatever though ive been rippin so many people off latley, I guess what goes around comes around. only difference is I dont do it to people im cool with.
-Atic aka Dank..
jump that fool
After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.
yo y mate from schools goy his own business now selling pharmacuetical machinery, mostly pill presses and he reckons the shitty lookin chipped pills are more likely to be good then the clean ones cos mdma doesnt hold together to well and so it breaks of easy...aww idk he takes alot of shit n his brains fucked but he is a clever motherfucker
hold ya can up n stand up
Yes, harder, more firm looking pills have more bonding agent in them.
Fuck You
First of all you're retarded: no stamp is worth deventy bucks. Ever.
Second: Kill him.
he said he was buying a strip, so you dont know how many hits were [supposedly] on it
Wells that would be a little more than 5 hits where I come from:
So you're telling me this kid bought five stamps and didn't check to see if maybe...just maybe the stains were there from blotting?
Either he doesn't know how to identify legit stamps or...well I don't know what the hell else could be wrong with him.
definitely a silly mistake... you really ought to know what to look for when dealing with any drugs so you dont get ripped off. oh well... learn from your mistakes
The only people who do know how to identify legit 'stamps' are people with test kits. You can't look at a piece of paper and instantly know that LSD is on it my friend. It could be any other liquid chemical as well, such as DOI, 5-MeO-AMT, or a plethora of other RCs.
This rarely happens to me but it has happened before and it will prolly happen again. all it does is teach me who not to trust. I just say fuck it and move on, ill approach him when I see him. im not gonna go chasin this kid around.

Thank god.... Intelligent people DO come to this thread. You two above me make me so happy!
On another note... I'm paying for my alcoholism via withdrawals. Like getting physically sick. This sucks dude.

Fuck You
You can't tell if they use clear blots.
The stamps around here are BL, so that when you put any kind of acid on it neon activators on the strip show spirals, spikes, or some other pic. If you're buying high end acid vs street shit on a mentos then you know what you're getting.
There's no risk in my corwd man.
Now admittedly, it you're buying from some trailer trash honkey tastic 38 year old who lives with his two girlfriends and young son you really have no idea what you're in for.
But when you get fellow people who have any reasonable sort of identifier (and no, you do NOT need a 'kit' to dentify acid...you simple need a tongue) you don't have to worry about buying seventy dollar scraps of paper.
The most common chemical that people use to jip others around here is either bleach or ammonia, both of which are INSTANTLY identifiable upon tasting. If you ask for a sample and taste it you shouldn't be able to taste anything except the paper: acid has no taste. If you suddenly feel like you just huffed cat piss then you shouldn't waste your money.
Anyone ever tried to make acid from household products?
nah yo we was tryna roll up and we all smoked one beforehand so we were paranoid as shit. all we heard was a microphone go off behind us and we murked it. wasnt even no cop after us. ***** that was rolling up dropped my weed all crazy
And really, people put bleach/ammonia on your tabs before? Wtf.

|Cawdor Castle
Earl Cawdor, of Castlemartin in the County of Pembroke, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1827 for John Campbell, 2nd Baron Cawdor.
This branch of Clan Campbell descends from Sir John Campbell (died 1546), third son of Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll (whose eldest son Colin was the ancestor of the Dukes of Argyll; see the latter title for earlier history of the family). His descendant Pryse Campbell (d. 1768) represented Nairnshire in the House of Commons. His son John Campbell was Member of Parliament for Nairnshire and Cardigan. In 1796 he was raised to the Peerage of Great Britain as Baron Cawdor, of Castlemartin in the County of Pembroke.
He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baron. He represented Carmarthenshire in Parliament and served as Lord Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire. In 1827 he was created Viscount Emlyn, of Emlyn in the County of Carmarthen, and Earl Cawdor, of Castlemartin in the County of Pembroke. These titles were in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. His son, the second Earl, was Member of Parliament for Pembrokeshire and Lord Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the third Earl. He was a Conservative politician and served briefly as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1905. Lord Cawdor was also Lord Lieutenant of Pembrokeshire and Chairman of the Great Western Railway.
As of 2014[update] the titles are held by his great-great-grandson, the seventh Earl, who succeeded his father in 1993. He is also the 25th Thane of Cawdor. As a descendant of the second Earl of Argyll Lord Cawdor is also in remainder to this peerage and its subsidiary titles, which are held by his kinsman the Duke of Argyll.
Several other members of this branch of the Campbell family may be mentioned. Sir George Campbell, younger brother of the first Baron, was an admiral in the Royal Navy. The Hon. George Pryse Campbell, second son of the first Baron, was a rear-admiral in the Royal Navy. Brigadier-General John Vaughan Campbell, who was awarded the Victoria Cross in 1916, was the second son of Captain the Hon. Ronald George Elidor Campbell, second son of the second Earl. Colonel the Hon. Ian Malcoln Campbell, third son of the third Earl, was Lord Lieutenant of Nairnshire. Liza Campbell is the second daughter of the sixth Earl.
The family seat is Cawdor Castle near Cawdor, Nairnshire, associated also with the ancient title Thane of Cawdor.

Spotted this intreguing video linked from a page from another story. It begs the question, what shotgun load is best for bringing down small, armed, drones?
Considering the size of the drone depicted in the video I would think number 2 or 4 shot would be effective. Now if the drones get a bit larger then you may want to move up to OOO or OO buckshot for more penetration.
The overall potential implications of these DIY drones and their use by BGs is pretty disturbing. Personally, I'd go with #8 or #9 birdshot.
Technically they are not drones, they're UAVs, but anything that will break off a prop blade will cause it to vibrate to pieces.
Most any shotgun round will take out the propeller on one of those. If you want to take out camera, I'd go with 000 or 00 buckshot.
I'd go with #4 or #6 shot
Although the premise is admittedly a little silly, I'd imagine any load will do. I wouldn't worry about hitting a prop as any control surface will work just fine.
Just curious: is this not getting close to breaking one of the forum rules about giving advice to a possible activity? Shooting at RC planes/helos, even flying over your propeerty may be against the law. test cases have already been settled out of court with the RC plane owner being the victor.
Just saying....
My other hobby happens to be radio controlled aircraft, and with the advent of micro electrics and lipo batteries, most of my flying is done from my backyard, and subsequently over my neighbors.
I took this thread more of a curiosity rather than advocating illegal activity.
Someone posted elsewhere a trap shoot with remote controlled airplanes, (basically flying wings) with the little exploding targets on the bottom of them. Seemed like they were able to make several passes until someone may have been lucky enough to hit the engine. I'm sure they were probably using #8 or very close to it. I would say the bigger the lead, the better. I'd go with 00.
I'll try to find the link. Looks like fun too.
I wasn't advocating an illegal activity such as shooting at someone's innocent spy drone, unless it is armed and you have to defend yourself. In a SHTF scenario you may want one of these with its own weapon to defend your property, but until that day it is probably illegal and dangerous. Might be fun for feral pig control in Texas, though. My thought was if an armed drone is buzzing around and is a threat, what will take it down? Even if the guts are armored the props are what keep it airbourne, small birdshot ought to do the job with a better pattern than buckshot, but the drone target video does not support that.
Rock salt on the operator
I imagine anything that interferes with the control surfaces or props would do the job. Although, I think 8 or 9 shot might be a bit light.
Also, most of the small UAVs are probably going to be able to fly high enough to render shot useless.
