Just heard that the GA legislature have passed a bill designating April as 'Confederate History Month'.
I'm sure we all agree that this is a loaded subject depending on which side of the political and ethnic divide you sit, I'm not passing judgment and don't wish to see this thread disappear under a racial argument.
Heritage is something to be proud of, history is something to be remembered. That is why Black History Month exists in my opinion.
But I can't help feeling that CHM will be deemed divisive and confrontational by the same people (of any skin color) that see BHM as inclusive and constructive.
LINK to AJC
A bill that would permanently establish April as Confederate History and Heritage Month in Georgia sailed through a Senate committee Thursday without any opposition.
Sen. Jeff Mullis (R-Chickamauga), the sponsor of Senate Bill 283, told the Senate Rules Committee that the proposal would help promote tourism in the state and preserve an important part of the state's and the nation's history.
"I'm not doing this for controversial reasons, but to commemorate a struggle that happened," said Mullis, whose North Georgia hometown was the site of a major Civil War battle in 1863.
The proposal has offended some civil rights leaders, who last week asked the Legislature and Gov. Sonny Perdue to offer a symbolic apology for the state's role in slavery.
The Rev. Francys Johnson, the NAACP's Southeast region director, said the organization is "vehemently opposed" to Mullis' bill and finds it hypocritical.
"At the same time that the proponents of this bill want to deny any responsibility for state sanctioned and sponsored slavery from 1755 to the end of the Civil War, they still feel the responsibility to honor the treasonous conduct of the Confederacy. It doesn't seem like you can have it both ways. You can't honor the past and not take responsibility for it."

Try On Tesco's Clothing In A Virtual 3D Fitting Room
Tesco is the first retailer to use the technology, which is hosted on its Facebook page.
Tesco has launched a virtual fitting room for its F&F clothing range that enables customers to create 3D digital versions of themselves and then try on different outfits. Tesco is the first retailer to use this technology, which is found on its Facebook page.
The F&F virtual fitting room will allow customers to try various new skirts, tops and shorts to find the perfect matching look for the spring and summer seasons. They will be able to choose from a selection of 50 new season items and 10 garments will be added each week during the trial. Customers can add the clothes to a basket and purchase them from the Tesco clothing website, share outfits with friends on Facebook for feedback and also try out different hairstyles. Emily Shamma, director of Tesco Clothing Online, said that shopping with your virtual self is:
Quick and easy to use, particularly for customers who don't have the time or dislike having to trek around the shops. Customers simply upload two photos, or if preferred, enter their body measurements and a photo of their face. In just a few minutes the F&F fitting room creates their very own virtual body, to look exactly like the user and then suggests sizes based on the details submitted.

Ward: Dawson set the weight
By Robert Hough
Andre "SOG" Ward said his fight with "Bad" Chad Dawson was set at 168 pounds the minute Dawson issued a public challenge to Ward to face him at that weight. Ward (25-0, 13 KOs), the WBA, WBC and The Ring super middleweight champion is scheduled to defend his belts against Dawson (31-1-0-2, 17 KOs), the WBC light heavyweight champion who's dropping 7 pounds, on Sept. 8 at the Oracle Arena Oakland, Calif.
"It's negotiating 101," Ward said Tuesday during a teleconference to discuss the bout that's set to take place a few miles from where Ward was born and has lived since then. "He was negotiating against himself when he said that. I never demanded that. When I was sitting on my couch and heard him say what he said, to me, the fight was signed, sealed and delivered."
Ward, who won an Olympic gold medal as a light heavyweight in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, claimed the WBC belt and won The Super Six World Boxing Classic when he beat Carl Froch with some ease on December 17 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. The 28-year-old broke bones in his left hand days before that fight and hasn't been in the ring since then.
He's facing Dawson almost nine months after the Froch fight, the longest layoff of his pro career, but the break's done him well, he said.
"I literally think about this sport every day," Ward said. I always have my mind on the sport and I'm always sharpening my tools, and I think having the age advantage on my side is a big deal, too. If anything, the break has done me good. With the Froch fight, we trained really hard and the Super Six, the toll that took, I think (the layoff) was a good thing."
As his hand healed and he rested his body and mind, and prepared for the birth of his fourth child, Ward said he wasn't looking for the Dawson fight.
"He wasn't on my radar in terms of me gunning for him," he said. "I always thought that definitely one day it was gonna happen. People said, 'Why?' We said, 'Why not?'"
Dawson, the 30-year-old WBC light heavyweight champion, dominated Bernard Hopkins on April 28, also at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.
Ward's trainer, Virgil Hunter, has said Ward's versatility makes it hard to prepare to fight him. Dawson said, though, that he's been more than satisfied with his preparation.
"We've had great sparring, better than what we expected," he said during the teleconference. "On that note, everything is great. We got guys who emulate him very well."
Dawson pointed out that he's had success against fighters with diverse approaches and techniques.
"I fought a total of 14 rounds with Bernard I fought and beat a lot of other guys with different styles," said Dawson, who was born in Hartsville, S.C., and lives in New Haven, Conn. "It says a lot about me that I can adapt to different styles and that I'm not afraid to fight Ward in his hometown. I'm a very intelligent fighter in the ring."
John Scully, Dawson's trainer, believes his fighter's height advantage of a couple inches and reach advantage of about five inches will pose new and serious challenges for Ward.
"More than Ward's recent opponents, we will be able to implement our plan," said Scully, who fought for 13 years and retired in 2001. "His recent opponents weren't able to implement their game plans and some of that was due to the physical limitations some of those opponents had. Chad forces people to adjust to him."

There are many tips and traps to watch out for when considering a Subdivision, a great start is the book titled The Real Deal it is a book written by Brendan Kelly a foremost expert in Australian Property, in particular this book covers off on Subdivision in Part III as follows;
Part III: Subdivisions plus
8. Subdivisions
9. Separating and renovating a duplex
10. Renovate and subdivide (1 into 2)
11. Renovate and subdivide (1 into 3)
Part IV: Construction
12. Construction
13. Developments
This Book is only $25.50 and at that price an excellent investment
One of the most common mistakes made by fledging Developers is underestimating what people refer to as "Subdivision Costs".
What is a "Subdivision Cost?"
I always think of Subdivision Costs as being the cost for all the work required to get your separate titles issued. This work will vary from one Subdivision to the next. Some common examples of work required for separate titles are Headworks (Water Corp fees), Surveyors fees, new power dome, new sewer junction and site clearing.
And how much will the Subdivision Cost?
This is a commonly asked question and the answers you will get can vary quite dramatically. I quite often hear people mention that they have allowed $20,000 to $30,000 because somebody else has told them to. Never rely on these estimates in your calculations before choosing a site, I'll show you why. Below are some costing examples for what most people would consider to be subdivision works.
Water Corporation Headworks fee.… $6,500
Surveyors Survey Strata Fees.… $5,400
Western Powers Power Dome.… $1,500
New Sewer Junction.…$3,000
Clear Site (Remove rubbish, lawn, trees, sheds etc).… $15,000
Total.… $31400
Now what about all the items that you didn't think about or weren't told about?
You may need to extend the sewer main.… $13,000
What if there was a pool in the backyard.… $5,000
What if your council needed a constructed and drained driveway.… $4,000
What if you need a brick store room.… $8,000

Bitcoin Mining Chips, a High-Tech Arms Race
The easiest way to get a Bitcoin is to buy one. You can join drug dealers, speculators, and the curious by hopping onto an online exchange and purchasing one unit of the digital currency for, as of Nov. 11, about $340. But you can get Bitcoins for free by mining them, and a new breed of chips will soon make doing that a lot faster. "You would need 70,000 Intel chips to equal what one of ours can do," says Eduardo de Castro, co-founder of Bitcoin chipmaker HashFast Technologies.
Each Bitcoin has to be verified on a virtual ledger of all the Bitcoins ever circulated. Anyone can download some software and get a copy of this ledger, but to add to it, you must become a Bitcoin miner. That means you set your computer to work performing cryptographic calculations to decode elements of the currency system and confirm the validity of transactions, which then get added to the main record. The reward for this work is about 25 Bitcoins. The catch: Only one person every 10 minutes earns this prize, by solving the calculations before anyone else.
Mining Bitcoins is already a specialist's game. Butterfly Labs and KnCMiner build special Bitcoin-mining hardware that they sell to individuals and groups of people who pool their money to amass lots of computers. Then there's the Bitcoin discussion forum user known as BitFury, believed to be a self-taught chip designer from Ukraine, who "designed a chip at his kitchen table," de Castro says. "He's made a huge pile of cash" by selling machines using the chips on his website.
BitFury and other first-wave Bitcoin hardware makers will face competition in 2014 from a second wave of designers, who aim to speed the mining process with special chips known as application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs. The circuits' creators include HashFast, which has used cutting-edge chip design techniques to produce computers that sell for $11,700 each. CoinTerra has raised $1.5 million; its chief executive officer, Ravi Iyengar, used to design chips at Samsung Electronics and Nvidia. Secretive startup 21E6, another mining-machine seller, is believed to be backed by some of the wealthiest people in Silicon Valley; its co-founder is Balaji Srinivasan, a former Stanford University professor and data-mining expert.
The latest and greatest equipment from these companies should begin arriving in December, kicking off what the startups hope will be a massive spending spree by Bitcoin miners. "It really is an arms race," says David Kanter, a chip analyst and consultant. "If you're one of the first people to get one of these, then boom, you will make some real money. But once everyone has one, it's back to square one." Individual miners who get outspent by larger groups will end up with basically worthless hardware unless they can pool it into something larger, he says. As he says about BitFury, "I am sure he made more money from the hardware than the morons who bought."

2007 Focus - Small Red Light beside Zero on Speedometer
Hi, new here.
Test drove a 2007 1.4L Zetec Ford Focus today here in Ireland and was happy enough with it.
However, I noticed a small red light coming on beside the "Zero" on the Speedometer. It seemed to only come on when I was accelerating. It was off when the car was stopped.
Posted a picture below of the closest image I could find on the web. You can see the small light just beside the 0MPH. It's off in the photo.
Anybody know what this is? Is this standard for this light to come on?
I think that is a shift light, if it's a manual it is there to tell you when to shift up.
that's a nice looking cluster. wish my N.A. '06 had those gauges/face.
i agree with budderybunz, most likely a shift light, if it is indeed a manual.
It was a manual yes. Hopefully you guys are right and its nothing major
1 Attachment(s)
Moved to "General Technical Chat".
Sorry for posting in the wrong thread!
Few people are telling me that its not a shift light. It's a warning light and the central display (e.g. Where it says Road Speed in the above sample photo) should be telling me what the issue is.
I think I recall the display saying something like "0km remaining" during the test drive. The car was low on petrol and the orange fuel light was also on.
Would that be the cause?
Put the minds to ease.... best thing to do is find an owners manual (probably available on-line) and verify.

Well that's it. That one hive that has had problems that had what I thought were queen cells and that I thought must have a laying worker is now still full of drone cells. Don't see any worker cells at all, and now no queen cells. The suspected queen cells was around the 19th last month. So here is my plan. I'm going to set a double screen between this hive and another. (This one on top) and leave them for awhile.(SOUNDS LIKEA GOOD PLAN TO ME) How long you think?YOU SHOULD WAIT 24 TO 26 DAYS AFTER YOU SEELAST CELL CAPPED. And if this one does have a laying worker, (IF YOU HAVE A LAYING WORKER YOU PROBABLE WILL NOT SEE ALL CELL CAPPED SHE WILLCONTINUE TO LAY SOMEWHERE0would I still need to shake them out. Or just wait for all these drones to hatch and see if there is more. Do you think the drone cells will stop after the scent of a queen get purged through this box?(I WOULD NOT COUNT ON THE SCENT OF A QUEEN STOPPING A LAYING WORKER, YOUR BEES HAVE ALREADY ACCEPTED HER AS A QUEEN AND WILL PROBABLY DEFEND HER LIKETHEY WOULD A QUEEN.)Or perhaps after placing these on top, just let them do there thing untill no more bees in there, then merge the combs. Perhaps some, most of the workers might actually drift into the lower box. (THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBLILTY OF THE LAYING WORKER DRIFTING ALSO IN MY FIFTY OR SO YEARS OF WORKING WITH BEES, I HAVE ONLY SEEN A COUPLE OF LAYING WORKERS. MAYBE MICHAL BUSH WILL HAVE SOME BETTER ANSWERS. I POST AS STILLLEARNING BECAUSE I STILL LEARN SOMETHING MOST DAYS FROM THIS FORUM.)Just rambling with thoughts. :roll:
I have tried many methods to resolve laying workers. Some of them work some of the time. Most of them fail most of the time. The simplest and most practical solution is to take the laying worker hive and move it. Then shake them all out on the ground in front of your other hives. Either put the empty frames on other hives or put them in the freezer to kill the drone brood and THEN put them in other hives. This is the simplest, most straightforward, most foolproof thing to do with a laying worker hive. Later you can split one of your srtronger hives and then you'll have another hive again.
5)Put a laying worker hive over a queenright hive over a double screen.
6)make a queenright nuc from a queen and some brood from a queenright hive. Put the nuc over a double screen board over the laying worker hive.After a week do the newspaper combine.

Sunday evening black bear visit creates stir in Greenville (VIDEO)
By Cory Smith and Kelli Ameling
GREENVILLE — A black bear that entered the city limits of Greenville Sunday night has safely traveled back outside the city and into a wooded area away from local residents.
Around 7:30 p.m. a black bear was spotted in the front yard of a home on Sixth Street near Coffren Street.
The bear managed to climb up a tree, attracting many residents who gathered around to watch the rare sighting as the Greenville Department of Public Safety set up a perimeter around the bear.
According to John Niewoonder of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Belding office, the bear climbed down the tree and back up again, until finally retreating from the tree and traveling further south toward the Flat River.
"He wanted to go into town further," Niewoonder said. "We were able to get him to go south from that location. We followed him for a while until he got into an area where we couldn't follow him any further."
According to Niewoonder, the bear was about 2 to 3 years old and weighed approximately 150 to 180 pounds.
Niewoonder said the bear was last sighted around 10:45 p.m. near Fairplains Street where it continued into a wooded area beyond the city.
"We thought the bear headed east and went out of town across Walnut Street, but then we had reports of him back in town near the river near Washington Street," he said. "The last report of a spotting was near Fairplains Street."
Niewoonder, who was directly involved in tracking the bear on scene, said everything went about as well as he could have hoped.
"In other cities these type of situations have been completely mishandled at times and often result in a dead bear," he said. "The police and the firemen did an outstanding job."
According to Niewoonder, efforts to tranquilize the bear were only considered as a last option.
"There are a lot of complications that come up when trying to tranquilize a bear," he said. "The bear could fall from the tree and injure itself and often times you can overdose them or underdose them. Then you have to deal with the bear once he is down."
Niewoonder said the nearest tranquilizer is located in Muskegon or Lansing.
"We don't have the drugs and the dart gun here in Belding. We don't keep it stored here locally," he said. "The drugs are a controlled substance and have to be kept in a secure location."
According to Greenville Department of Public Saftey Director Mike Pousak, the "extremely large crowd" that gathered at the first sighting of the bear on Sixth Street contributed to the length of time the bear spent in town and could have complicated things further had the bear directed itself toward the crowd.
"You don't want to become part of the crowd mentality, stay in your house until the situation is rectified," Pousak said. "It frightens him and prevents him from leaving. I know it's an oddity, but it just adds more difficulty to the situation."
Officers were asking people to stay inside while the bear was on the loose, however if it had began to charge a civilian, the officers would have been required to shoot it.
Niewoonder said black bears are normally not considered to be dangerous, but if the bear were to return to a populated area, people should avoid panicking and stay in their homes or car.
"Your first reaction — don't panic or run," he said. Just get out of there calmly, get in your car or house. You don't have to overreact, the bear is not interested in you. It's probably looking for some food, possibly a bird feeder or a dumpster. You should call Central Dispatch or the Greenville Department of Public Safety."
The Montcalm County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police assisted on the scene.

Greatest Hits is Bruce Springsteen's first compilation album, released February 27, 1995, on Columbia Records. It is a collection of some of Springsteen's hit singles and popular album tracks through the years along with four new songs at the end, mostly recorded with the E Street Band in 1995. The latter constituted Springsteen's first release with his backing band since the late 1980s. Some of the songs are shorter versions of the original album releases. The compilation was commercially successful, hitting the peaks of the U.S. album chart and UK Album Chart and selling more than four million copies in the U.S.
Chapter and Verse is an album by Bruce Springsteen that was released on September 23, 2016. The album is a companion piece to Springsteen's 500 plus page autobiography, Born to Run, which will be released four days later. The career-spanning album features eighteen songs handpicked by Springsteen, five of which have never been released. The album contains Springsteen's earliest recording from 1966 and early '70s songs from his tenure in The Castiles, Steel Mill and The Bruce Springsteen Band along with his first 1972 demos for Columbia Records and songs from his studio albums from 1973 until 2012.

Subjective Depth-of-Focus of the Eye
Atchison, David A., Charman, William N., & Woods, Russell L. (1997) Subjective Depth-of-Focus of the Eye. Optometry and Vision Science, 74(5), pp. 511-520.
Abstract: An experiment is described in which the subjective depth-of-focus (DOF) of the eye, defined as the range of focussing errors for which the image of the target appears to have the same clarity, contrast, and form as the optimal in-focus image, was measured as a function of the size of high contrast (99%) Snellen Es for 5 trained subjects under cycloplegia. Mean DOF increased by approximately 60% as the size of the letter detail increased from -0.2 to 0.87 log min arc (Snellen equivalent: 6/3.8 to 6/45), although there were considerable intersubject variations. DOF declined with increasing pupil diameter, the mean total DOFs being 0.86, 0.59, and 0.55 D for 2-, 4-, and 6-mm pupils, respectively. In a second experiment, use of low (21%) contrast letters with a 4-mm pupil and 4 subjects marginally increased the DOF (by 0.08 ± 0.05 D); refraction also shifted in a myopic direction by a mean of 0.15 ± 0.06 D compared with the high contrast letters. A third experiment with four less-experienced subjects demonstrated the importance of instruction and training in any measurement involving judgement of just-perceptible defocus blur. The clinical implications of the results for measurements of refraction and amplitude of accommodation are discussed.

It's Never Too Late to Find Your Bliss
In the Spring of 2011, my 10 year old twin boys were nagging me to help them make stuffed zombies out of some old clothes. They had been reading John Murphy's "Stupid Creatures". So after pushing them off for many months I dusted off an old Brother sewing machine that my sister had bought me at a garage sale. I had sewn a little when I was in grade school and had made some window treatments with my Mom but to say my sewing skills were basic at best is putting it lightly.
We completed our "creatures" and I quickly realized that I absolutely loved being behind a sewing machine. Although I hadn't been a life long sewer I knew I was good at researching techniques and building my skills on my own. I also love reading any type of instructions so this has helped speed up my learning curve immensely.
The amount I enjoyed sewing with my boys lead me to shopping around for purse and bag patterns. The first one I found was for the 241 Tote on Noodlehead.com. I followed the pattern and it turned out amazingly well. I was officially hooked and things have been growing at a staggering pace.
I have displayed at a number of local craft shows and have held some in-home purse parties. The feedback has been amazing and I love the entire process of choosing fabrics, patterns, and photographing all my items. My work experience has been in sales and marketing so I am able to use those skills in my own business and also have a creative outlet I never knew how much I needed.

Celebrating Sigo
Hey! Ron Silliman applied his admirable analytic faculties to San Francisco poet Cedar Sigo today leading with the sentence "Cedar Sigo is a Frank O'Hara for the 21st century: witty, erudite, serious, with a terrific ear & eye for the minutest details, at home in the world of the arts." Yes! Sigo's new City Lights book, Stranger in Town, has received good attention since its publication in August 2010, and Silliman continues to stress the book's excellence, here contextualizing the poem "Speedway" (excerpted in the post), which Sigo composed for John Wieners:
Again the images of loss here are striking, as well as the countermeasures Sigo brings to bear against the crushing possibility of taking them too seriously. One's heart is cut out, but it's only a Christmas tree decoration heart, even if it leaves the speaker's shirt & coat bloodied, or Sigo capitalizing Impertinence, as though that were what one might take anger at. There is much more anxiety in the tone, but it's an anxiety on the edge of the comic.
Stranger in Town is a terrific book, cover to cover. I'm sure it's important that Sigo is Suquamish and was raised on the reservation in Washington before landing miraculously at Naropa, but it's important in the same way that it's important that Larry Eigner was disabled or that Larry Eigner was Jewish. Eigner was both of those things, but he was a great poet first, and without qualification. Sigo likewise is a fabulous poet. The poems here, precisely because they deal so much with the poetics of the world as he's found it, strike me as the writing of a writer who is still maturing. But Sigo shows every evidence of being ready to go forward without hesitation, creating the poetry of the future. This is one of those books that leave you wanting only one thing from the poet–more.
How does he do it? All of Cedar's revelatory "Craft Work" entries for Harriet here.

Habitat at home
Your yard could be a certified wildlife habitat
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | March 17. 2014 3:10PM
Nancy Caswell of Jaffrey looks out over the landscape in her back yard where birds and beasts flock. Caswell'��s property has become a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. (Nancy Bean Foster Photo)
"There is an infinite number of ways you can provide those core things," said Mizejewski.
Chimney swifts build hanging nests in the mortar between the bricks in the chimneys and lay their diminutive eggs. The birds have spikes on their tails that allow them to hang on the bricks and roost when they're not out buzzing around eating insects.
The students at the school have a chance to experience nature up close and personal, which is wonderful, especially in the city, said Couchman.

Anonymity for LLC Owners
Privacy is an important issue for many people. Some do not want their residence address listed in any public data base. Others want unlisted telephone numbers. Some want their ownership of certain assets or businesses kept a secret. Occasionally, an individual wants to start a "new life" without connections to the past. Thus, there are numerous motivations for privacy of personal information.
Using limited liability companies (LLCs) can help protect privacy in a business or investment setting.
LLCs are now the entity of choice for business and investment. With limited liability for the members (owners), pass-through treatment for income tax purposes, flexibility in design and structure, and the ability to be used in both profit-making as well as non-profit situations, LLCs are well suited to almost any application. Yet there is more.
Members in a Utah LLC can have all of these advantages and still remain anonymous if that is desired.
An LLC can be formed with one of two structures. It can be designed as a member-managed LLC or as a manager-managed LLC.
MEMBER-MANAGED LLCs
Where an LLC is member-managed, the members have authority to bind the LLC and the identity of the members must be disclosed to the public. That disclosure is accomplished by listing the name and address of each member in the Articles of Organization that are filed with the Utah Division of Corporations or in the annual reports for the LLC. The name and address of any new member must be listed in an amendment that must also be filed with the Utah Division of Corporations. Further, the annual reports that are filed with the Utah Division of Corporations must also list the identity of the members.
All files for LLCs at the Utah Division of Corporations are accessible to the public. In fact, much of the information in those files can be viewed and retrieved via the Internet.
These are the rules for a member-managed LLC. Thus, there is no anonymity for the members in an LLC that is member-managed.
MANAGER-MANAGED LLCs
In contrast, for an LLC that is manager-managed, where the manager is not a member, the identity of the members need not disclosed on any filings with the Utah Division of Corporations. This arrangement preserves anonymity for the members. And the members still have the benefits of the limited liability shield and pass-through taxation. The cost for this anonymity is the cost of forming and maintaining the LLC.
There are some exceptions to be noted. If, in a manager-managed LLC, a manager is also a member, the identity of that person as a manager must be disclosed on filings at the Utah Division of Corporations.
Another exception applies to professional LLCs. For PLLCs–LLCs that practice a profession (medicine, dentistry, law, architecture, engineering, etc.)–there is no anonymity for members or managers. Utah law requires that the names and addresses of both the members and the managers of a PLLC must be disclosed on the public record. The purpose for this exception is to let the public know the identity of individual who practice a profession in LLC form.
To obtain the full benefits of using the LLC form, advice and assistance from a competent lawyer are essential.

Agreed, UMD_S4L. I hope they make enough where they won't sell out in under 5 minutes like the Vader!
And that they've fixed the ear cap before release.
Ear cap...Wha?
Take a close look at the (RF) ear cap on the first pictures in the thread, and take a look at the Bullock-logo up top (or better yet, the real hero helmet) and notice how the eFX ear cap is flush instead of protruding a little in relation to the lower ear.
whoa...good eye! i didnt notice that. Maybe its just the angle?
Doesnt help when you see pics of the ESB helmet the RF ear isnt fully attached...so really you could losen the screws that hold the ear on and get that effect....
I'm pretty certain it's not the screws but the eFX ear cap is too thin. Not by much, but a little.
And it's the same on the PP3, the supertrooper, PP1, PP2 and ROTJ

HUH...looking at pics of the helmet from SDCC...it looks like the base that sits between the Stalk and helmet is thinner then it should be?
The Boba and Biker Scout helmets are two of my all time favorites from the original trilogy, grail pieces to me so I'm stoked about these eFX helmets, cannot wait.
I really hope eFX try to replicate Fett's ESB paint scheme as it was in the movie though, without much of the damage and marks it's sustained in the decades since.
Any news on the Boba helmet from this years SDCC?
Lmao it started 30 minutes ago bud. I don't think there's news yet. And I doubt there will be any on this. Way to early in the process.
Floor was open yesterday.
Fett wasn't in eFx booth!
Gino was there and explained that things will be moving forward from this point.
Last edited by dynamic1; Jul 29, 2014 at 1:01 PM.
Okay, so I spoke to Gino about some things in regards to the helmet before SDCC but posting got swept away with me prepping for that con.
The helmet wasn't at SDCC because the gentlemen that owns eFX, Bryan, forgot that box at his house.
The damage that has been done to the ESB helmet over the years will not be replicated nor will there be a Legendary edition that would replicate the helmet in it's current condition. Their past LE sales led them to conclude that the LEs aren't really a viable option for them. Even though I personally feel that Boba collectors are the perfect market for a Legendary release.
Now in regards to the ears, the ears for the actual release helmet will be metal. The ones that appear on the current display piece were just some quick molds that Gino whipped up and sanded down accidentally too far so that the piece could be ready for SDCC 2013.
Kinda good news. With no Legendary Edition we should see a large enough edition size to fulfill everyone's desire for a Fett. Scott, any indication on a preorder?
Gino is still working on the helmet, theres no prototype yet so I doubt itll be soon.
Good news as well! I rather have it done right than rushed!

I'm sure he feels fellated, er I mean elated!

I'm sure he feels fellated, er I mean elated!
But what's way funnier than any joke I could come up with is this:
Ryan should not get Flacco money, but he probably will given how the Falcons overpaid him with his rookie contract.
To me its just the nature of the QB position to get paid big money. Ryan will probably get paid around same ball park, Stafford will probably get paid same ball park. Cam Newton in 2 years will get paid more than Flacco, it just is what it is.
Looking at the deal, it was more about respect for him and his agent than $. His deal is actually a 3 year deal, but the headlines read he is highest paid player, but not in reality and most of his contract is just fluff. It looks like a win win for the Ravens and Flacco. Waiting for his endorsement deals to start also. After 3 years, both parties will be at the table again, apparently.
I guess Flacco is just like every other QB who has an ego that needs to be satisified and I mean that in a good way.
As for Ryan, sadly he'll probably get a similiar contract. Below I think is just flawed thinking. The same author says "nobody blames Matt Ryan as the reason Atlanta doesn't have a championship". Really? Who's the blame? Ryan is part of the problem and will have to be part of the solution if they want to win a superbowl..SMH...what hyprocrisy. I'm glad Joe has his ring. Here's to a few more!!
They want to sign the quarterback to a long-term contract extension this offseason. The parameters already are in place. Theyll have to pay him like a champion.
Theyll have to pay him like Flacco
Matt Ryan hasn't won a Super Bowl, but his regular season production has been a lot better statistically than a lot of people might gather. He was awesome for my fantasy team last year.
If I were the Falcons, I'd lock him down to a contract. Maybe not to a Flacco contract until he wins the big one, but a significant one. Ryan's value is $15m a year minimum these days, and he probably would get $20m a year on the open market. If you think the Clevelands, Jacksonvilles, and Buffalos of the world wouldn't salivate over Matt Ryan taking the helm of their team and whip out their checkbooks, I think you're mistaken.
Didn't read or see espn about Flacco, but Joe knows what he can do and respect is nice, but does Joe really care? Common on, he really likes playing football and winning, something he is very good at.
Late game pick against Arizona in his debut that sealed the game.
Pick six right before the half, on his home turf against Green Bay, that sealed that game.......by halftime.
0, count em', 0 offensive points in the Meadowlands against the Giants, while he struggled to make throws deeper down the field in those cold, windy conditions.
A decent game against Seattle, a pretty good game against San Fransisco, except for the two turnovers each, at the most inopportune times.

A Minute With: Leonardo DiCaprio in "Shutter Island"
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Leonardo DiCaprio says at the age of 35 he is just beginning to absorb his heady acting career alongside the likes of Jack Nicholson and Daniel Day Lewis.
He is one of Hollywood's top leading men who can regularly command $20 million a movie. His latest film, "Shutter Island," is his fourth collaboration with director Martin Scorsese. It hits U.S. theaters on February 19.
DiCaprio talked to Reuters about the film, his plans and the roots of his well-known passion as one of Hollywood's top environmental crusaders.
Q. What surprised you about this film?
A. "The thing that surprised me the most about this material is as many different genres that are mixed in, whatever Scorsese did stylistically with this film, at it's very essence it is a film about the human condition and human trauma and the dark side of who we are."
Q. How is your influence in Hollywood changing? You seem to be doing a lot more producing?
A. "I am never going to act again, yeah (laughs). No, I have a production company that all stemmed from 10 years ago wanting to be able to develop my own material because I just wasn't finding things I got excited about. It all stemmed from "Gangs of New York" and searching that out and saying, 'Well, if I was able to search this out and I got to be able to work with Martin Scorsese on this project, there has got to be other projects out there that maybe the studios aren't paying attention to."
Q. You are one of Hollywood's top earners. What are your thoughts on the salary of actors at the top of their game? Continued...

Text of GM, Chrysler Recovery Plans, Related Documents
Both General Motors and Chrysler made the government's deadline for presenting recovery plans as part of their agreement to receive billions of dollars in federal loans.
But both asked for more money. GM is seeking as much as $16.6 billion in additional aid and could run out of money as soon as next month if it doesn't receive at least some funding.
Chrysler is seeking an additional $2 billion in federal funds on top of the $7 billion bailout it requested in December.

Farm Lease Connection
Due to lack of funding, the Farm Lease Connection program is currently dormant. PASA is not able to actively match landowners & growers, but we invite you to utilize the various resources below. PASA does hope to relaunch this valuable service to our members and the general public in the coming months.
New Press Coverage in philly.com - Land Leasing Aims to Attract New A Breed of Farmer
Beginning farmers often have the same two frustrations: limited access to land and money. Leasing land can help overcome those obstacles by allowing farmers to build equity without the burden of initial purchasing costs. PASA recently launched its new land leasing program, Farm Lease Connection (FLC), to address these concerns and bring farmers and landowners together in the creation of successful farm enterprises.
FLC is best described as a blend of eBay and eHarmony that introduces new or expanding farmers to landowners of all kinds, from private homeowners to municipalities and land trusts. The program uses web technology and personal communication to bring both parties together. Parcels of land as small as a ¼ acre up to hundreds of acres are all potentially eligible for inclusion. At this time, there is no cost to farmers or landowners to enroll in FLC.
If you are interested in applying to be including in the land leasing program, go here and fill out a free application. The site allows farmers and landowners to set up anonymous profiles to protect confidentiality while advertising their farming experience and goals. The site also offers a list of helpful resources and classes, an event calendar and recommended experts to help in the leasing process.

Sleek and Simple Sofa
I love the sleek lines of this sofa paired with dark turned legs. It is modern and classic all at once. And the white provides a perfect backdrop for an ever-changing palette of pillows and accessories.
This little settee has two of my favorite design elements: Louis XV curved wood and linen upholstery. What's not to adore?Tags: furniture, interior design, french, settees, couch, living rooms, louis XVAdded 7 Years Ago from Wisteria
Curved back and carved oak make this settee simply lovely. I adore the Louis XV influence on Scandinavian blonde wood.
I don't have my own place yet - but I like pretending I do! I saw this couch while browsing a site, and I thought, "Wow, I need this in my future pad".
