looking for the top of the line Fett helmet.
Are the DON POST Helmets the best or is there something better?
I would suggest reading around the forum. There are many issues as far as the "Best" but there are several threads right now discussing some monumental helmets. The threads about all of the different helmets are some of the best reading you can do on this forum.
fettpride, Brother. fettpride!!!
What you seek is here:
Definitely Fettpride.
Get in line for GMH they are the newst and most acurate to date.
Don Post is the best.. Get the one with the white interior.
Very sturdy.
And it's licensed so you know it's quality, don't get the rubies they are less accurate.
Go straight to eBay and search for a rare piece.
i'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not sixx...
as far as accuracy goes, the GMH is pretty much the way to go.
Yeh I didnt think we did that kinda thing around here? Kinda turns people off, its not a car forum.
Why would he need a don post when he has the muld that made them in his posesion , he could just make his own
What do the GMH go for? I looked on his site and no pricing, that I could find.
The price is in the sale thread in the cargo hold.......I think it was something like 235
Ya, I was being sarcastic.. ;)
Really though, use the search.
Fettpride is offering the best helmet offered to members in a long time.
Are you looking for the best helmet because you want to make a costume or build up a helmet for display? or because you want to make your own helmet out of your DP95 mould comparable?
I am going to make a copy out of Silicone and see what it looks like. Then get measurements from that. Then its off to make a Fiberglass mold of that. We will see how far I can take this.
So you want to recast someones helmet?? What do you mean,"see how far I can take this"?
And in fact, it is in everybody's best interest (or anybody who wants to know as much about the lineages of the original helmets) to see what an unadulterated casting from this mold looks like compared to both the production Don Post helmets that came from it and other PP2 copies.
Is the mystery helmet the best copy? I would like to find real measurements of the ROTJ helmet. if it is really out there. All I have seen on here is the Mystery helmet measurements. I am trying
to match the Original helmet to my helmet mold. After some measuring now, I have found that my helmet mold is dead on with the Measurements of the Mystery helmet. Does anyone know who the Model maker was for the movie? I would like to contact him. Since I live where they shot and made all the first films. Any help on this would be great. I have email Mr. Sansweet, but nothing back yet. Thanks for everyones help on this...
The New GMH is the BEST copy
Um they actually shot the films in england (sound stages) and in various locations around the world for the location stuff. Also the fett helmet and armor was actually made in The UK and then shipped back to ilm to get painted.
I'm still confused as to what you want the best helmet for(clearly not for your collection and not for a costume)? The GMH helmet that Fett Pride is going to produce is the closest thing to the real production bucket that will be available. But if you are openly saying you're going to recast it in order to make your bucket identical to it I'm thinking that Fett Pride probably won't sell you one but I wont speak for him.
I would say do your own research. Make some measurements from the various reference photos and correct your mold it as you see fit. Make the it your own version, what your eyes see as correct and then do a run of that. That would be the best path rather than trying to make a copy of someone else's helmet.
Both the mystery helmet and the GMH are slightly smaller than the original ILM helmets. For a good primer on the helmet lineages and current understanding of the helmet histories, including the mystery helmet line, see this thread by Art Andrews:
Its not recasting if he makes a plug from his mold and casts it its just casting recasting would be if he found an old helmet lets say a don post fiberglass and thort illcopy this and see if any on likes it . isnt it odvious he wants to find the best adaptation of the lid and compare it with his just say he makesa a sillicon plug and puts it next to a gmh and low and behold there identical in every aspect and its so crisp in the details and being metal has keept its shape so doesnt need to be fixed up apart from removing he date stamp and trade markthere for being the closest in liniage to the real one lets not for get the reson that the GMH and lees plug and the larver helmets were made were from or for the don post lines is it not in his right to then make a mould of his plug and nock up some copys there is a possibility that it could be very sweet in deed
Maybe I miss understood what he's looking to do. If so I apologize.
If he just wants a GMH for comparisons sake then I'm all for it.
I just don't want him to get the wrong impression thinking that buckets cast from this mold will be very popular or make him lots of money. DP 95 Buckets were nice starting points back in the day but now many many better options are out there.

FLINT, Mich. -- The University of Michigan Board of Regents approved Friday (Oct. 18) a historic naming for the athletic department at its monthly meeting held at Harding Mott University Center on the Flint campus. The regents formally approved the naming of the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus following last month's $100 million gift to the athletic department from real estate developer and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
"Steve is a generous donor that supports our mission to be leaders and best in every way," said Dave Brandon, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics. "He shares our vision for an athletic campus that provides every student-athlete with the best resources to compete at the highest level in the classroom, in competition, and in their lives after athletics."
Ross provided Michigan Athletics with the lead gift, $100 million, toward the department's goal of $350 million for the upcoming Victors for Michigan fundraising campaign. Ross' gift will help build state-of-the-art facilities that will impact all 31 teams and the 900-plus student-athletes that represent Michigan on a daily basis. In recognition of his generous gift, the athletic campus from this point forward will be known as the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus.
One of the facilities currently under construction on the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus is the new $5.3 million home of Michigan softball. The regents also approved the naming of the Donald R. Shepherd Softball Center at their meeting today. The three-story, 10,200-square-foot complex includes locker rooms, coaching and support staff offices, a team meeting room, athletic medicine and fitness spaces, hydrotherapy pools and support space. Construction is scheduled to be completed by January 2014.
"Don has been a major contributor to our women's athletics programs through the years," said Brandon. "We appreciate his philanthropy in support of these teams from both a capital and scholarship standpoint.
"Steve and Don are both significant contributors to our team and we greatly appreciate their continued support of Michigan Athletics," added Brandon.
Michigan Athletics has three facilities that are currently under construction on the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus -- Schembechler Hall, field hockey, and the Donald R. Shepherd Softball Center -- with many others planned over the next few years.

Comments about Spirit UPS Driver Toddler Costume:
The overall costume is very cute. My son loves it! Shirt has some thickness to it, seems sturdy to handle some washing. My son will likely wear it beyond halloween. My only complaint is the hat- awful. no structure, small, sits very crooked. But, it will serve its purpose for dressing up I suppose.

"The cards i ordered are absolutely perfect, i could never have asked for anything more. these cards blew my mind because i was not expecting such high quality, i will forever be a customer, Thank you so much for such prompt service and quick delivery. did i mention delivery was 1 week earlier than expected, and from the date i ordered to delivery it was 5 days total"
"This cute card always causes people to stop and comment. It's very small compared to the regular cards, but you can get the info on it and the photo looks pretty cool with those stripes on it. I like to have these but also the normal sized ones just for variety."
"I really liked this product. I loved that I could customize it with a full photo on the back and the colors were beautiful. The paper quality is a great matte finish although the cards were slightly smaller than I had thought they were going to be. The people that I've given them too so far have been impressed that they are something different and unique that they haven't seen before."

The French watched in apprehension as their new presidential couple had a first "trial by protocol" in the time-hallowed surroundings of Westminster and Windsor.
Would their diminutive leader look ridiculous next to the lofty Prince Philip? Would he commit another of his foreign-trip gaffes by giving a "bise" (kiss) to the Queen, or getting his mobile out at the banquet to check the France-England score?
And what about Carla? Would she overplay her sexiness, or look arrogant, or let the British papers make her a laughing stock?
With an almost audible sigh of relief, the nation perceived that none of its fears had been realised.
Quite the contrary: the Sarkozys seemed to have gone down a storm.
Interestingly, the French press the next day reported less on the actual visit and more on how the British press reported it.
Newspapers carried headlines such as "When the British press suddenly starts liking the French" - a highly unusual turn of events in French eyes - or "The English conquered by Carla".
It was as if the nation could not come to its own opinion about the presidential couple until it saw how they went down abroad.
And as it turned out, "les rosbifs" were bowled over.
"Did you see her, our first lady, how she curtseyed before Her Majesty? The gentle genuflexion, the hair soberly coiffed with a grey beret, the long coat revealing a blue dress and a hint of knee? So beautiful, so elegant," purred an editorial in Le Progres newspaper.
Blog approval
The blogosphere took up the cry.
"I found Carla superb, and France should stop criticising her and instead be proud to have a first lady who is so beautiful and intelligent. I think she is far better than Cecilia [Mr Sarkozy's ex-wife] and will be a real asset to her husband," wrote Maya on Le Point news magazine's website.
"Yes our first lady is superb. Pretty as a picture, luminous, refreshing. What elegance, what class. And what's more, she is intelligent and writes songs. We have not lost anything in the exchange. Bye bye Cecilia," said Marika.
As for Nicolas Sarkozy, if the plan was to use British royal pomp to burnish his damaged reputation, then it may well have worked.
Even the satirical Le Canard Enchaine - no friend of Sarkozy - said that the visit was "perfectly timed to hammer home the message that our omnipresident has 'changed'".
"A crowned head receiving you on an official visit - what better way to resanctify the presidential function?" it said.
"The Queen is certainly not bling bling."
Touch of class
As many commentators have pointed out in France, the elaborate ritual surrounding any state visit to the UK played perfectly into Mr Sarkozy's hands.
As nothing is ever allowed to go wrong on such occasions, he could bask in the majesty of his hosts - and hope a little would rub off on the way.
"Respect for the forms and codes is vital on state visits - especially to Britain where tradition plays such a large role," said Olivier Hill, director of the school of political science in Grenoble.
"For Sarkozy, the setting was just right for him to get across the message to the French that he does know how to be presidential. It augurs well if he really means to conduct the presidency in a different way," he said.
In his speech to the Houses of Parliament, President Sarkozy said how grateful France was to Britain for its defence of freedom and democracy.
He might have added a personal note of thanks to the British crown for giving his presidency a touch of royal class.

This is in TEXAS?
There has to be much more to the story. Texans have shot dirtbags breaking into a neighbor's house, dirtbags breaking into outside sheds, etc...and not been charged.
To be charged with a crime for defending one's self inside the home doesn't ring true to me.
Someone involved in a shooting is not required to make an immediate statement to the police, but eventually you WILL have to talk with them...hopefully, in the company of a lawyer.
You may want to get the full story from your friend.
I am very sorry to hear of this situation. I will add your friend to my DC list.

text: Interesting. But we're giving up too many ball-handlers here (Prince and Billups). Rip does not handle the ball well and I'm not convinced Stuckey is ready to run the offense the entire season. I like Stuck to continue to come off the bench and back up the 1 and the 2. I don't like any of these trades either. Has anyone considered the possibility that this team does not need to make any trades? Perhaps if the current personnel was utilized more efficiently, than they can win a championship. This team went 69-30 this season, including the playoffs. Sure, they kept losing in the ECF, but it was under the same coach. A new coach might be just the ticket. I hope Dumars doesn't make trades for the sake of making trades. I'm sure he won't.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:46pm
BOSTON, Mass. - Major League Lacrosse, the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, announced Thursday that Boston Cannons Coach Bill Daye has been named as the 2011 Brine MLL Coach of the Year, according to MLL Commissioner David Gross. The award was based on the votes submitted by the head coaches and general managers of each of the League's six teams.
"Like Brine, Coach Daye represents the best aspects of lacrosse; hard work, integrity, leadership and teamwork," said Dave Dixon, Brine Chief Marketing Officer. "Brine congratulates Coach Daye on an outstanding season and wishes him the best of luck in the playoffs."
Daye, who is in his sixth season as the Cannons' head coach, led Boston to its second straight MLL regular season title and a 9-3 record this year. The Cannons opened the season with a 6-1 record, including a five-game win streak, en route to their fourth postseason appearance in the last six years.
The nine wins for the Cannons this year are the most by a Boston team during the last six years.
"It's definitely an honor for me to receive this award," Daye said. "Thanks to the Cannons organization, my coaching staff and the players on this team for making it possible."
Daye, who also played for the Cannons and was an assistant coach before taking the helm in 2006, has a career regular season record of 43-29 (.597) and has led the Cannons to four winning seasons in six years.

"A floppy mop of blond hair flew behind Jamison Olson as he popped out the bottom of a tunnel slide. He cast a few backward glances at his mother Ingrid Evans Olson, who followed close behind, before letting loose with laughter and jumping into the waiting arms of Reva Evans Olson, his other mother.
"It has been one year since the Iowa Supreme Court released its unanimous decision in favor of the Evans Olsons and five other couples who sued for the right to marry. The decision overturned a 1998 state law banning same-gender couples from marrying, saying it denied 'gay and lesbian people the equal protection of the law promised by the Iowa Constitution.'
"...In December 2005, they filed their lawsuit in Polk County District Court after being denied a marriage license by the county recorder there. Lambda Legal, a national gay rights group, organized the lawsuit and provided pro bono legal representation to the plaintiff couples.
"...'We didn't want Jamison to be 20 years old and say, so you could've been part of this lawsuit and you didn't? Why didn't you stand up for our family?' Ingrid said."

I want you to close your eyes and picture in your mind the soldier at
He stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded from months of battle and emotionally scarred from the eternity away from his family surrounded by nothing but death and carnage of war.
He stands though, with fire in his eyes and victory on his breath. He looks at us now in anger and disgust and tells us this…
I gave you a birthright of freedom born in the Constitution and now your children graduate too illiterate to read it.
I fought in the snow barefoot to give you the freedom to vote and you stay at home because it rains.
I left my family destitute to give you the freedom of speech and you remain silent on critical issues, because it might be politically incorrect.
I orphaned my children to give you a government to serve you and it has stolen democracy from the people.
It's the soldier, not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press.
It's the soldier, not the poet who gives you the freedom of speech.
It's the soldier, not the campus organizer who allows you to demonstrate.
It's the soldier, who salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag!
Thanks to the soldiers who paid the ultimate price for our freedom of speech, even the blogsphere!

Secrets of the Septic System
If your home has a septic system you should know how it works — and how it might fail. Our correspondent provides an explanation.
The tank is an essential part of the septic system. The two-chamber design shown here is popular because it's uncomplicated and reasonably effective. However, flooding or overloading the tank can still send undigested material into the drain lines, clogging the absorption field. The latest tank designs have deep holding chambers and internal convolutions to encourage solids to settle out from the flow.

The extent of damage is somewhat determined by the species or variety of tree, while much of the damage can be traced to trees that weren't able to harden off, a term that describes a tree's tolerance in response to colder temperatures and shorter days. While sudden cold snaps like the one last October will always create some fall freeze damage to trees, we can help trees prepare for the cold with a few simple tips.
Withholding water and fertilizer and limiting heavy pruning in the fall will encourage trees to harden off properly. This includes evergreens, such as pine, fir and spruce. Heavy pruning and late fertilizer treatments encourage growth rather than hardening off, so restrain from fertilizing and pruning trees until spring. Throughout the month of September and into October, reduce and even stop watering trees unless they show signs of wilting. Once leaves turn color on deciduous trees and fall off, the trees (including evergreens) are in a dormant state. Once dormant, the trees will not respond to watering. However, after leaves have fallen, it is important to resume watering to saturate soil so that the trees have a water reserve for coming out of dormancy, which could be as early as the first week in January. Following leaf drop, water deeply once a week until the ground freezes.
While many parts of the state experience continual measured snowfall in winter, areas in drier regions may see trees that have suffered even more winter desiccation. Evergreen trees and shrubs show signs of extreme water loss to their needles and twigs following winter. Even though the ground may be frozen, it is a good practice to bring the hoses out periodically and water trees throughout the winter to supply the trees with water - especially during warm periods in winter when the Chinook winds blow.
Protecting newly planted trees from winter desiccation is important. Construct sun barriers for newly planted evergreens on the windward and south side of trees or shrubs to protect them from drying winds and intense reflective winter sun. Tying burlap between fence posts or even propping a wooden pallet on end usually does the trick. Deciduous trees with smooth and dark bark should have trunks wrapped with a tree wrap to reflect the sun, reducing sunscald to the bark.
To learn more about proper tree care, you can download a free MontGuide, a self-learning resource from Montana State University Extension, called "What's Wrong with This Tree?" at http://msuextension.org/publications/YardandGarden/MT199518AG.pdf or by picking up a free copy at your local MSU county or reservation Extension office.

Found Cardboard under vinyl siding
2 Attachment(s)
After an electrician relocated our outside electrical service box, I had small area of siding to repair from where the old box was located.
As I had scraps of the vinyl siding, I went to work and after taking the damaged portions down immediately noticed what appeared to be cardboard from boxes under the siding.
This is a 1963 built house in the Midwest, and only my second home so Im pretty new to many things. We purchased the house from the flipper and have hit other issues so Im wondering if this is the last straw.
Anyone have any idea why a siding person would put cardboard underneath vinyl siding? Im attaching some pictures to this post. From what I can tell there is masonite underneath the cardboard. My fear is this is under the entire house.
Thanks in advance ..
Frustrated new home owner
looks like he was trying to level out the wall,other parts of the house may have a foam underlayment and they ran out, then the cheap ----- used the boxes the siding came in,that's pretty shameful right there:mad:,i could see using it in small amounts as a shim but...
shady yes, but, before you tear your house apart just how long has the siding been there? if you have no problems as of yet i would leave it be until you're given a reason to tear it off.
Should be illegal.
time to inspect some more
Thanks for the responses guys! It pretty much confirmed what I suspected.
At this point I'm not sure when the siding was done, but based on some other problems I wouldn't put it past the flipper.
I'm planning on spot checking the front and sides to see if it has foam like it should or more cardboard. Perhaps he just got cheap on the rear of the house.

When Kevin Bieksa scored in the second overtime period on Tuesday night to give the Canucks the series clinching goal against the Sharks in the Western Conference final, it didn't take long for the white, green and blue confetti to start raining down on the ice at Rogers Place. It was a pretty sight, but what if — as almost everyone in the arena thought — the puck had actually gone into the netting over the glass behind the goal and out of play before settling behind Antti Niemi?
That was the main theme sounded by the Versus announcers in the U.S. in their description of the series winning goal and the aftermath.
The crew on Hockey Night in Canada was a bit more reserved, but they also reacted at first as if the goal might not be a good one.
As both crews correctly stated, this was not a reviewable goal, but what if the officials who gathered at centre ice determined the puck had indeed gone out of play? How would they ever have been able to reel that scene back in and resume the game?
You can bet that until the low angle of Bieksa getting the carom off the glass support and one-timing a bouncer past Antti Niemi, there were some anxious moments in the NHL's Toronto Situation Room and wherever the league's top executives were watching.
Of course, this brought back some memories of Brett Hull's Stanley Cup winning overtime goal (or "no goal" as they still maintain in Buffalo) against the Sabres in 1999, with his foot in the crease and the puck outside it in an era when the rules might have been interpreted in a way that would have disallowed the score. But a complicating factor was that as soon as the puck went in, the doors opened around the rink to let the crew on the ice in order to set up the Cup presentation and the league personnel out to distribute the championship hats and t-shirts to the Dallas Stars. There was no way that goal was being called back.
As an aside, the Canadiens benefited from a situation a bit like that when they won the 1966 Stanley Cup in overtime. Early in the overtime, Henri Richard led a charge into the Red Wings zone with Dave Balon. He gave the puck to Balon and drove to the net. Balon returned the pass, but Richard had gotten tangled up with Detroit's Gary Bergman and fell forward. The puck arrived in Richard's path and ended up behind Roger Crozier in the Red Wings goal. Here's that play…
…and the story goes that Habs coach Toe Blake told his players on the bench to jump onto the ice and start the celebration before the officials could question whether Richard had directed the puck in with his arm while falling.
But back to the Canucks game-winner this week: It's hard to believe the league office didn't get on the phone to the Canucks on Wednesday and kindly request they not repeat that sort of display until everyone is certain the game is over. A little patience wouldn't have damaged the celebration.
You have to wonder what they're thinking at some teams. In Tampa Bay, the organization has given fans plastic "rally drums" (and you can buy your very own on eBay). It's a sponsored item, with a local TV station having its name printed on it and probably paying the Lightning for the privilege. But the clacking sound it makes hardly takes the place of the real noise fans can make with their hands and voices. On TV, you get the feeling the Lightning are taking their own fans out of the game with those things.
But even worse, they have armed their fans with a flingable weapon that they didn't pay for and probably don't care if they bring home or not. At the end of Game 4 on Wednesday, hundreds of those things went flying on the ice, some directed at the enemy Bruins (can you imagine?) and at least one, David Krejci, was hit on the helmet.
Considering how this series has gone, it would not be surprising if the Tampa Bay fans by now have some of the same feelings about the Bruins that Montreal fans have. But weaponizing them — especially if they do share those feelings — may not be the most enlightened move the Lightning have made this season.
Here's some video of the end of Tampa Bay's Game 6 win against Boston shot from the stands and you can hear the "rally drums" in actions (sounds weird, eh?) and watch them come flying out of the stands after the final horn.
There's a reason some teams give their fans towels to wave during the playoffs instead of flingable plastic objects and perhaps the NHL should remind the Lightning of that.
Now, one more thing: If you watch the video closely, as the Bruins exit the ice, you can see Nathan Horton appear to squirt water at a Lightning fan wearing a blue T shirt to the right of the runway. The NHL's Bill Daly emailed Damian Cristodero of the St. Petersburg Times that it would not be taking any action against Horton for the squirt nor the Lightning for the conduct of their fans.
But as the rival paper The Tampa Bay Tribune pointed out, "New York Rangers coach John Tortorella received a one-game suspension for a similar incident involving a Washington Capitals fan behind the New York bench during the 2009 playoffs.
"At the time, NHL director of hockey operations Colin Campbell issued a statement regarding Tortorella's actions and the reason for the suspension from a playoff game.
""It has been made clear to all of our players, coaches and other bench personnel that the National Hockey League cannot — and will not — tolerate any physical contact with fans,' Campbell wrote. 'While, in these circumstances, it always is easy to allege mitigating circumstances, the fact is we do not tolerate contact with our fans in this manner."'
Good advice. Wonder why the NHL didn't heed it this time.

I knew precious little about the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series when I picked it up– mostly that it had been appearing all over my Goodreads timeline and that it seemed to have a polarizing effect on readers.
I probably should've paid more attention to the, you know, description.
It was the very first page of the book that convinced me that this story was begging to be snarked: it opened with a girl checking herself out in a mirror! Aw, E.L. James. Way to take a page out of 90% of all Sweet Valley High books ever written.
Fifty Shades
In 2012, Mari (then writing under the username "Lorraine") picked up Fifty Shades of Grey and immediately hated it so passionately, she had to dedicate words to her hate. Many, many words, a second reccapper, LOTS OF CAPSLOCK, an impressive array of gifs, a handful of vlogs, a Stalker Boyfriend meme, a couple of destroyed livers, and lots of holding each other in the comments later, here we are:

Syracuse University as members of the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) is becoming more tangible with the newest release coming from the conference.
The ACC, now with 14 teams, will be split into the Atlantic and Coastal Divisions.
All of the 14 football teams will play against eight conference opponents in their yearly schedule, with an even four games on their home field and four away. Six matches will be versus divisional foes, while the other two will be against the division that team is not a part of.
The Orange will host the Boston College Eagles, Clemson Tigers, Pittsburgh Panthers, and Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Syracuse is ahead of two of these opponents in all-time head-to-head records: 28-18 over Boston College and 1-0 over Clemson.
Wake Forest is tied with Syracuse at 1-1, while Pittsburgh leads Syracuse, 34-31-3.
The Orange will play away matches with the Florida State Seminoles, Goergia Tech Yellow Jackets, Maryland Terrapins, and N.C. State Wolfpack. Florida State (5-1), N.C. State (6-0), and Georgia Tech (2-0) all lead career series versus Syracuse, while Syracuse is ahead of Maryland all-time, 18-14-2.
Pittsburgh will be what has been deemed as a "permanent crossover opponent" for Syracuse, meaning that they will be competing each season, whereas Georgia Tech is a "rotating crossover opponent". The Yellow Jackets will be put in rotation with other teams in the Coastal Division, creating a different foe for the Orange each season.

In 1869, it was amended to give the legislature, for the first time, power to regulate keep and bear "as the Legislature may prescribe." With that, we got the odious 1871 ban on bearing arms including not only handguns but the famous Bowie knife. We got a despot governor, a disarmed citizenry, loss of freedom of speech, armed thugs at polling places, and countless other serious grievances against the government. Then they had elections in 1873 for the first time since the civil war. Davis lost, and they had to remove the despot governor from the capital at gunpoint. As a result, the legislature was stripped of it's power in 1876 on numerous fronts including keep and bear.
Yet the 1871 law is still on the books. That doesn't make it constitutional or good law, and it never will be. Proposals to add the words "prohibit" and regulate were defeated in the constitutional convention of 1875. They can regulate the wearing of arms, but they can't prohibit the wearing of arms. The 1871 not only prohibits the wearing of arms, it prohibits the bearing of arms altogether. The constitution of 1876 no longer allows the legislature that power over the people. The 46.02 law is unconstitutional, and it will never be good law.
Stephen P. Halbrook makes a very good case for challenging this Texas law. It's excellent reading.

But first-year player Darik Angeli wasn't intimidated heading into the imposing home of the Michigan Wolverines and their 6,637 fans packed into the old barn.
"It was a dream come true (to play here)," he said.
It certainly was. Angeli scored both OSU goals, including the third-period game winner, as No. 14 Ohio State upset the No. 7 Wolverines in Ann Arbor on Friday night by a 2-1 score.
"It feels awesome," he said.
The win extended the Buckeyes' winning streak to six games and their unbeaten run to eight. Ohio State moved to 9-3-1 overall and stayed atop the Central Collegiate Hockey Association with a 6-2-1-1 record in the league.
It was also Ohio State's first win in Yost since the 2007-08 season.
"It's great," said senior co-captain Sean Duddy, an Ann Arbor native. "I played here four times before this and I hadn't won yet. To win in a place like this, even if I wasn't from here, is huge. In the CCHA, going on the road is tough. They're a pretty good team. It feels good."
In earning the win, Ohio State's defense – which entered sixth in the country scoring and had allowed only two goals in the previous five games – shut down Michigan's fourth-ranked offense, but head coach Mark Osiecki said there was still plenty of room for improvement.
"We were just OK," Osiecki said. "I don't think we played very well, to be honest with you. I thought Michigan played very well and their transition is outstanding."
However, the speedy Wolverines (7-4-2, 3-4-2-1) were unable to the impartial eye to get their transition truly going as Ohio State outshot the home team by a 33-30 margin and keeping them to an 0-for-4 mark on the power play.
"I thought our first couple of shifts we were pretty good, but then the game kind of settled into a not-much-going-on game and we can't play in that kind of a game," Michigan head coach Red Berenson said.
Angeli's winner came at the 7:53 mark of the third. It was an innocent looking play, as the freshman completed a quick transition move by finding the puck in the right corner and throwing it on net, but it went off the paraphernalia of goaltender Shawn Hunwick and into the net.
"Coach just said to get it to the net and that's what the forwards were doing, just trying to put the puck on the net on that kid," Angeli said. "Luckily it went in."
Ohio State's defense wasn't airtight in holding the Wolverines scoreless in the third, but it did its part. The Buckeyes got lucky early in the frame as Greg Pateryn's power-play shot hit the post behind Cal Heeter and then the OSU goalie made a quick lateral move to deny Phil Di Giuseppe's rebound try.
Later with the Buckeyes holding the lead, Di Giuseppe's power-play swipe went wide off a faceoff and OSU was able to weather the rest of the storm.
The third period was a little more open than the cautious first, as neither team seemed to play its game early. The Buckeyes had good chances off turnovers but Michigan had better pressure and then got the opening goal at 15:26. The Wolverines' best chance in transition ended up in the net as Chris Brown left a drop pass for Mac Bennett, who beat Heeter from the left circle.
But that goal only seemed to get the Buckeyes going, as Hunwick made a great rebound stop on Chris Crane before Angeli got his first goal. Just 2:16 after Bennett's goal, OSU senior Danny Dries got the puck to Ben Gallacher at the right point, and the rebound of his shot was slid in by Angeli.
"We're not going to get frustrated with that goal," Angeli said. "We're just going to come back, play our game and luckily our team got the puck and Driesy made a hell of a play to Gally, and he took the shot and I was there to put it in."
The second period was scoreless but had plenty of talking points. Alex Szczechura deflected a shot onto the post for OSU before freshman Tanner Fritz took a five-minute major and game misconduct for hitting from behind.
But the Ohio State penalty kill held strong, holding Michigan to only three shots – one of which drew a great save by Heeter on Brown from the slot – before the Wolverines took a penalty to end the power play.
"They said it right on the bench right away, we talk about the five-minute major, they said, 'This is a challenge for us. It's not something that's going to hurt us,' " Osiecki said. "That was their approach to it. They wanted to use that as momentum."
Notes: Ohio State moved to 4-1 vs. ranked teams. … Heeter made 29 saves while Hunwick had 31. … OSU's power play was 0 for 5. … Freshman forward Max McCormick returned for Ohio State after missing four series with an undisclosed injury.

I have always enjoyed running as a form of exercise. When I was in high school, I remember our basketball coach encouraging us to always be conditioned to run 2 miles. For some reason, I remembered that and tried to incorporate running into my everyday life. Even when I was at my heaviest weight, I would go running. (okay … you may have called it jogging … haha!)
I always dreamed of running a full 26.2 mile marathon. It seemed impossible and unattainable. I never even…

Hello everybody, I purchased the i-Racer a couple of months ago, and it has really been a good experience playing with it so far, as far as the basic apps allow. What I am interested in now is to measure the RSSI on-board? Would anyone know as to whether this is possible? Some pointers on this matter would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
No public wish lists :(

Greg Norman responds to critics, says he stands by his comments about Tiger Woods
Greg Norman posted an update on his Facebook page backing his comments about Tiger Woods being intimidated by Rory McIlroy.
|Tiger Woods and Greg Norman probably won't be playing golf together anytime soon. (Getty Images)
The golf world was abuzz this week about the comments by Greg Norman that Tiger Woods is now intimidated by Rory McIlroy.
Norman said so in a Fox Sports interview, getting just about everyone talking up until the first round of the Tour Championship on Thursday, when Tiger shot a 4-under 66 while paired with McIlroy, who settled for a 1-under 69.
Questions were tossed around. Is Tiger intimidated by McIlroy? Has Tiger ever been intimidated by anyone? Is this why the two have become such good friends in such a short amount of time?
A lot of people, however, just bashed Norman, saying he didn't know what he was talking about and that he shouldn't speak up on such an issue.
The two-time British Open winner took to his Facebook page on Friday, giving a full-length explanation of just what he meant by his Tiger comments:
Got off the plane from Beijing this morning and my Iphone just blew up with emails and voicemails regarding my interview with Robert Lusetich of Fox Sports. It seems that everyone from Charles Barkley (no Charles I was not referencing or comparing Tiger's record to mine) to John Doe has weighed in on my quote regarding intimidation. I stand by my comments and for those that choose to read the full article and not just "grasp" and "react" to one word will notice that the headline and byline were inconsistent with the content of what Robert wrote. When you look at my comments in the full context of the article, you will see that it provides a more balanced view of my sentiments on this topic. Which is, since the PGA Championship Tiger has not made any impact on the weekend in passing Rory for the title. This has not happened in his career prior to this run by Rory. During the PGA Championship broadcast I spoke at length about Tiger and I maintain that no one has swung the club better in the history of the game, especially during the year 2000. At the end of the day, Tiger is a great athlete and a great student of the game and he will continue to win, but we are seeing a transition away from his dominance. Rivalry and parity is great for the game of golf. Unfortunately for Rory, I think that the trademark for "The Intimidator" is already registered with Dale Earnhardt.
It basically seems Norman is trying to backpedal from what he said while maintaining that McIlroy currently has a better grasp of the game than Tiger. Which is probably true; nobody has really argued that.
But it still doesn't take away from the fact that Norman thinks "intimidation" somehow is the key to all this, and that Tiger sees McIlroy and immediately wilts because he's somehow scared of the kid (maybe he's jealous of his hair or his age, but it doesn't seem like he's intimidated by anyone).
I know Norman is trying to cool the fire, but he didn't really do a great job of explaining what he meant. If he wants to stand by his comments, that's fine, too, because I stand by mine.
Tiger is only intimidated by Tiger, and the only thing that gives the guy fits is when his golf swing does what it did on Friday. Other than that, he still walks the same, swings with the same conviction and tries to go as low as possible. It just isn't as easy anymore.
And I think Jack Nicklaus closed the door on all this when he said to ESPN Radio 980 on Wednesday: "Quiet, Greg, quiet. Down, boy. I think Tiger had a pretty darn good year this year."
Nicklaus is the best.

No. 7 USC Defeats OREGON, 3-1
LOS ANGELES--The No. 7 USC women's volleyball team began slow but finished strong, defeating upstart Oregon, 12-15, 15-10, 15-5, 15-4, in front of 855 on Friday night in a Pac-10 Conference match at the North Gym.
The Women of Troy improved to 18-4 overall, 10-4 in the Pacific-10. The Ducks dropped to 8-17, 0-13. It was USC's 15th consecutive win over the Ducks.
USC had 4 players reach double figures in kills, led by junior middle blocker Jasmina Marinkovic's 16. Junior outside hitter Jennifer Kessy had 12 kills and freshmen hitters Antoinette Polk and Kashi Cormier had 10 kills apiece. Junior setter Janice Mounts had 46 assists and also hit well, putting down 7 kills in 11 attempts with only 1 error.
Oregon was led by senior outside hitter Madeline Ernst's match-high 21 kills. The Ducks came out strong in the first game thanks to 7 kills by Ernst and surprised the sluggish Women of Troy to win only their fourth Pac-10 game of the season.
Game 2 was equally tight and the Ducks even led 10-9 before USC ran off 6 consecutive points to even the match.
USC took control in the third and fourth games, posting a .545 hitting percentage in Game 3 and .300 in Game 4.
USC next hosts Oregon State on Saturday (Nov. 8) at 7 p.m. at the North Gym.

The National College Access Network is pleased to announce that 22 U.S. cities have been selected to receive up to $55,000 each for the FAFSA Completion Challenge Grant. The goal of the grant is to strengthen urban postsecondary ecosystems by raising their FAFSA completion rates among high school seniors. Through this project, generously supported through a $1.6 million grant from The Kresge Foundation, NCAN is challenging the 22 cities to increase FAFSA completion rates by at least 5 percent for the graduating high school class of 2017.
Two significant changes to the FAFSA in the fall of 2016 will make applying for aid easier and better timed than ever for low-income students. The grant funding will support the planning and execution of citywide, cross-sector FAFSA completion efforts for the 2016-17 school year, with strategic efforts to help students navigate the new changes and timing.
Selected Cities
NCAN has selected 22 U.S. cities to receive up to $55,000 each for the FAFSA Completion Challenge Grant.

NCAN has awarded 22 grants of up to $55,000 each to be spent on planning and executing a citywide, cross-sector FAFSA completion effort for the 2016-17 academic year.
In September 2017, NCAN will also award three to five additional monetary prizes totaling $300,000 among the 22 grant-funded cities. Prizes will go to:
Technical Assistance
NCAN will coordinate technical assistance to the 22 competing cities about effective best practices in FAFSA completion via webinars, a half-day workshop, and blogs and newsletter articles. The workshop will take place on Sunday, Sept. 18 in Detroit, Michigan, preceding NCAN's national conference, Driving Postsecondary Attainment for All.
Grant Advisory Committee
To guide the FAFSA Completion Challenge grant, NCAN assembled an advisory committee of individuals with expertise in FAFSA completion strategies and data as well as urban higher education ecosystems. The committee reviewed grant applications, will advise NCAN on data issues, and will confirm winners of the additional prizes described above.

It was a Facebook post made by Schuyler County Sheriff Bill Yessman last Friday that he didn't expect to garner this much attention. Yessman wrote about last week's passage of new gun control laws in the state on the sheriff's department Facebook page and how disappointed he was it passed so quickly without review or comment from the public. Yessman said there's been concern about the law from county gun owners and advocates
Yessman believes the recent shootings in Connecticut and in Rochester that resulted in multiple deaths and nationwide attention is a mental health issue, not a gun issue.
The Sheriff thinks the new laws, or as he calls them, unfunded mandates, are going to make more work for clerks and offices throughout the state.
