Colt Detective Special
Short-Barreled Smith & Wesson Models 13, 19, 65, and 66
S&W 3913 single stack 9. They go for more now than when they were new...if you can find one. I have a S&W 908 which is supposedly the "economy" version and it is my favorite. Reliability is unmatched.
While all of the above are sought after and discontinued,the question was most sought after not a personal preference.
Purchases of the consumers indicate surplus com block pistols in 32 acp and 9x18 mak.Most being copies of ppk a highly sought after pistol yet out of price range for many.
Clones are not limited to ppk but also of hipower ,beretta etc.all surplus due to 9x18 being replaced with 9 x 19.
Cheap ,affordable,and available.
Browning High power Compact.
H&K M10 also (40MM version of the P7 )
Nickle plated 4 inch Colt Python, one of the prettiest pistols I ever saw and the best trigger pull on any revolver.
Can't believe no one has said Sig 228. The only come up on occasion and don't usually last long.
+1 on the S&W 3rd Generation pistols:
the S&W 3913, 3914, 3953 (DAO) are among the best ever made. Single stack 9mm: flat, thin, concealable, and dead-on-nuts accurate and dependable. Apparently S&W engineers and designers were about 20 years ahead of the industry!
1950's Hopalong Cassidy "Magnum" Cap Gun :smoke23:

This thread is making me want a S&W 3913.

As I've worked with OpenOffice.org programs over the last year I've had many instances of things I wish it would do, as well as many moments of pleasant surprise when I found it would allow me to do something unexpected.
Today I'd like to share an interesting thing that I stumbled across with playing with the drawing tools in OpenOffice.org – specifically, I'd like to show you what I found when I was exploring the options for a text box.
To begin we'll need to be sure that your Drawing toolbar is displayed. You can display them by clicking the Draw Functions button located on the Standard toolbar
…or use the View menu, Toolbars sub-menu, Drawing.
Next, I drew a text box and then selected it.
It was at this point that I noticed the Points tool.
Microsoft has one of those so, I thought I'd check it out and see if it worked the same.
Yeah, not so much.
The Points tool for OpenOffice.org did give me access to the points around the text box that create the shape, but they didn't behave the same when I started moving them.
In the MS programs, if you grab a point and move it the movement only affects the two sides attached to it, resulting in a strange shape.
In OpenOffice.org, the moving of a single point simply moves the entire side of the shape making the box either bigger or smaller.
Nothing exciting there, but I happened to notice that in the upper left-hand corner there was an additional point – which showed up as a larger box around the usual point.
When I hovered the mouse over it I got a hand symbol instead of the usual arrow of some sort.
Thinking that it was a rotating handle, I grabbed and dragged it to double check my assumption.
Well, it turns out that it's not a rotating handle at all… instead it will round out your corners turning a rectangle into anything between the rectangle and an oval that keeps the same width and height of the original text box.
Not really an exciting find, unless you're like me – I will often used border lines around my text boxes – with that quick and simple change I can have the benefits of a text box with a more engaging (at least in my opinion) shape.
If you sometimes outline text boxes to make them stand out in your document then I definitely recommend that you give this one a try. You may just find it a good way to spice things up.
~ April

Facebook is allowing users to curate their newsfeeds more than ever before.
The new unfollow button will allow people to remain friends with each other without having to read their status updates, see their photographs, or see which awful song they're listening to in Spotify, if they so please.
The new feature will be on user profiles and company pages, so you can also support your friend's t-shirt company with your like, but take away your attention from it completely.
In typical Facebook fashion, the feature is being rolled out slowly, and will take some time to propagate to all users. Look forward to blocking all your "friends" terrible jokes and banal life updates in the coming week.

Solidarity Between Immigrants, Civil Rights Marchers After Ala. HB 56 Ruling
Immigrants in Alabama are pushing back against the controversial immigration law HB 56, and it's working.
In the same week as thousands of Latinos are marching with African American leaders to commemorate the bloody civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery that took place 47 years ago, a federal appeals court temporarily blocked two more sections of HB 56 on Thursday.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals enjoined Sections 27 and 30 of the state law until legal challenges brought by the federal government and a coalition of church and civil rights groups are resolved.
The state legislature passed HB 56, a law targeting undocumented immigrants in June 2011, and it immediately gained notoriety as the toughest immigration law in the country. In September, Federal Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn issued preliminary injunctions against a few provisions of the law, including one prohibiting undocumented immigrants from attending public universities, another that outlawed harboring or transporting undocumented immigrants and a third that outlawed stopping for day laborers if a motor vehicle blocked traffic. But Judge Blackburn left intact two of the most controversial elements of the law.
That changed on Thursday. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary injunction against HB 56′s sections which made it a felony for an undocumented immigrant to do business with the state and prevented courts from enforcing many contracts involving undocumented immigrants. This part of the law had far reach and led to the cutting of electricity, water and gas services for some immigrants. In November, the non-partisan Immigration Policy Center that does research on the role of immigrants in U.S. society released a report detailing the grave implications of sections 27 and 30 of HB 56.
"These two sections were both part of the legislative scheme to make life so difficult for immigrant families that they would 'deport themselves,'" said Cecillia Wang, Director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, who argued against the provisions. "But the 11th court recognizes that this is a serious constitutional problem," she said, "and now the majority of the unconstitutional provisions of the law have been enjoined."
The news ricocheted through twitter and the immigration rights blogosphere. Dan Werner, Deputy Legal Director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who was attending the civil rights march, tweeted:
VICTORY! Fed app court halts enforcement of contracts & business sections of #hb56. Cheers erupt across the march. #selma2012#CrisisAL
In a show of solidarity between the African American and Latino communities, immigrant rights and opposition to HB 56 are focal points of this year's march in Alabama.
The injunctions are temporary because the three-judge panel said that it won't give a ruling on Alabama and Georgia's immigration laws until the U.S. Supreme Court makes a decision on a federal challenge to SB 1070, Arizona's tough immigration law. The Court will hear those arguments on April 25. Wang said she was confident that the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would permanently enjoin all the provisions of the law which the federal government is challenging, because the Supreme Court has said that states should not be in the business of enforcing federal immigration law.

Hi, I'm new here, so here's some information about me:
My name is Tie Dye and I am a female American Shorthair. My birthday is May 10, 2010. My nicknames are TD and Tie Tie. I'm very active, genius, very curious, affectionate, and very vocal(sometimes). I love to pose for my owners and to have my tummy rubbed. I never like it if my owners are in a rush and can't pet me or feed me(that seldom happens.) My favorite toy is the Turbo Scratcher. I will nap almost anywhere. My favorite food is Purina Cat Chow, but we are thinking of maybe switching to BLUE. And I have lots of skills, maybe more than my owners can name. I'm mostly an indoor kitty, but sometimes my owners let me out onto a screened-in patio that I love. My story is that my owners went into a shelter looking for a cat, and they fell in love with me and my other kitty pal, Mia. I don't exactly have a motto yet, but I'll get one.
So that's pretty much it.
Love, Tie Dye

A group of happily positive but incredibly vague pages at FutureDay.org promotes taking one day per year – March 1 – as time to celebrate and orient ourselves toward The Future.
The quite-appropriately-ignored Future Day holiday is a project launched last year by Humanity+ -- a non-profit organization that "advocates the ethical use of technology to expand human capacities."
It's not clear from the Future Day site, or even the Humanist+ site what the organization means by that.
_ – the idea that humans can be made to live longer, live better and live more ethically, largely through the use of technology to implant life, love and ethical frameworks, thereby transforming bog-standard human life forms into happier, more powerful, more long-lived transhuman species variants.
So Future Day isn't so much a holiday to sit back and open our minds to the wonderful potential of the future as it is an effort to make a highly unlikely picture of the future look more inevitable.
It's not that technical or biological enhancement (cyborg) technology won't make human life longer and raise its quality.
High-quality articulated, digitally controlled implants can help the blind, limbless, help overcome nerve damage and all kinds of other afflictions.
It can't automatically make the human race better, make the tone of society in the future more positive and welcoming or ensure by itself that the future will happen (rather than being derailed by nuclear war, natural catastrophe or global destruction launched from a hijacked space station).
Pretending technology can solve problems created only with huge effort by wetware-operated standard-human-profiled organisms is the worst kind of idiocy – willful ignorance built on consistent denial of the obstacles between the present and any utopian future.
"Future Day" to celebrate a social and technical environment that hasn't come about yet, the specifics of which are supported only by Humanity+ and other reality-ignoring organizations from the same drum circle, isn't a holiday. It's a propaganda statement.
Even if you agree with many of Humanity+'s priorities and research focus, it doesn't make Future Day any more than a manipulative gimmick.
In the tech business – which is dominated by vendors whose explainers, marketing and indoctrination materials relentlessly brainwash technophiles into a narrowly focused, self-serving view of both the market and the world – the last thing we need is another Life 2.0 movement that spends all its time deriding our current life and promising how great the next one is going to be.
There was a time when most of those movements ended up locked in safehouses, waiting for aliens to take them back to the mother ship (for autopsies).
Now they try to convince others of their own fantasies about how great specific advancements in technology will be, rather than working on advancing it in the first place.

Description: The Texas Instruments MSP430 family of ultralow-power microcontrollers consist of several devices featuring different sets of peripherals targeted for various applications. The architecture, combined with five low power modes is optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement applications. The device features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that attribute to maximum code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows wake-up from low-power modes to active mode in less than 6μs.
The MSP430x11x2 and MSP430x12x2 series are ultralow-power mixed signal microcontrollers with a built-in 16-bit timer, 10-bit A/D converter with integrated reference and data transfer controller (DTC) and fourteen or twenty-two I/O pins. In addition, the MSP430x12x2 series microcontrollers have built-in communication capability using asynchronous (UART) and synchronous (SPI) protocols.
Digital signal processing with the 16-bit RISC performance enables effective system solutions such as glass breakage detection with signal analysis (including wave digital filter algorithm). Another area of application is in stand-alone RF sensors.
Note: These are production stock that we no longer use in any assembly so we've decided to sell them here. Once we run out of stock, these are gone for good, so get 'em while you can!
Is this the SOIC or TSSOP package? I can see that it's the 28-pin version, but I'm not interested in taking a scale to that quarter to measure the pitch of those leads.
This IS a TSSOP package. refer to the device eratta sheet for package marking information all SOIC packages have the date code on the first line.
Also note that you will NOT be able to use a TI launchpad to program these devices, rater you will need to use a BSL or JTAG programer.
From the package marking looks to be SOIC
With regards to programmer, YES, you can program this (and all MSP430's) with the LaunchPad. You need the TEST, RST, GND, and VCC pins on the launchpad. That's it.
No you cannot. Launchpad will only program newer devices that include the SBW (spy-bi-wire) connections. These older MSPs do not have this feature.
This is about $0.15 cheaper than buying the part in ones from major distributors.
No reviews yet.

For the first time this season, the Liberty men's and women's indoor track & field competitors will be divided between multiple meets this weekend. The Flames will host the Liberty Quad, their final home indoor meet of the 2011-12 indoor campaign, Friday at the Tolsma Indoor Track Center. Meanwhile, 13 Flames and Lady Flames will travel to Boston, Mass., for Friday and Saturday's Valentine Invitational.
The Liberty Quad will feature four men's teams (Liberty, Virginia, Lynchburg College and Virginia University of Lynchburg) and six women's squads (Liberty, Virginia, Lynchburg College, Virginia University of Lynchburg, Elon and James Madison). The men's weight throw will get things started at 4 p.m. Running events will commence one hour later with the prelims of the women's 60-meter hurdles.
The Valentine Invitational features a unique format, with all women's events being contested on Friday and all men's events taking place on Saturday. Friday's first events begin at 3 p.m., while Saturday's action gets under way at 10:30 a.m. The meet will take place at the Boston University Track and Tennis Center, which will also play host to the IC4A Indoor Track & Field Championships next month.
These two meets will be Liberty's final tune-ups for the 2012 Big South Indoor Track & Field Championships, to be contested Feb. 24-25 in Blacksburg, Va. Liberty's men's and women's indoor track & field teams are scheduled to take a weekend off from competition next weekend.
How to Follow the Flames and Lady Flames
Live results will be available for both the Liberty Quad and Valentine Invitational, with links available on LibertyFlames.com.
Additionally, Flotrack.org will be on hand in Boston and will post archived videos of the Valentine Invitational races.
Liberty Quad Preview
The sixth annual Liberty Quad will feature a mixture of regular participants in the meet and newcomers. Both Elon and James Madison will send their women's squads to the Liberty Quad for the fourth year in a row, but Friday will mark the Liberty Quad debuts for Virginia, Lynchburg College and Virginia University of Lynchburg.
Nine events feature past Liberty Quad champions, including the women's high jump, which includes the last two winners. Liberty's Marianne Wheeler took the 2010 Liberty Quad women's high jump title, while teammate Kristen Willeford won in 2011.
Five Events You Won't Want to Miss
Listed in chronological order
Friday, 4:30 p.m. – Men's Long Jump – Liberty's Kevin Reddington will be in search of his third consecutive Liberty Quad men's long jump title on Friday. He and Aaron Johnson will also aim to join teammate Tarell Williams as IC4A qualifiers in the event. Both Reddington (23-0 season best) and Johnson (22-11.25 season best) have come tantalizingly close to the IC4A standard of 23-0.5 this year. Reddington, Johnson and Williams figure to be challenged by Virginia's Matt Meyer, who qualified for the 2010 NCAA Division I East Preliminary Round meet in the event.
Friday, 5:15 p.m. – Women's High Jump – As mentioned above, Marianne Wheeler and Kristen Willeford have captured the last two Liberty Quad women's high jump crowns. They will be part of a strong field on Friday, which includes five athletes who have cleared 5-5 or higher this season. Leading the way are Virginia's Moira Cronin and Emily Kianka, who have each sailed over 5-7. Kianka tied for fifth place in the women's high jump at the 2011 ECAC outdoor meet.
Friday, 6 p.m. – Men's Shot Put – With Liberty's Ryan Smith competing at the Valentine Invitational instead of the Liberty Quad, the men's shot put should be a wide-open event. Virginia's Thomas Fuson, who placed second to Smith in the shot put at the Liberty Kickoff earlier this season, is the top seed. Lynchburg College's Greg Wilson and Eric Van Dunk, the top two shot putters in the ODAC, should also contend. For Liberty, freshman David Scouten will look to eclipse the 50-foot mark for the third straight week, while teammate Tim Abbott seeks his first 50-foot toss after reaching 49-9.75 at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup.
Friday, 6:15 p.m. – Women's Mile – At the 2011 Liberty Quad, Wake Forest's Anna Nosenko blazed to a facility-record mile time of 4:47.32. None of this year's entrants are expected to challenge her record, but this still figures to be a competitive race. Liberty alumnus Rebekah Ricksecker, who won this event at the 2009 Liberty Quad, joins Virginia's Tasia Potasinski and Barbara Streheler as runners who boast personal-best times of 5:00 or faster. The Lady Flames' Betel Yosef is also entered, and she will attempt to continue her strong indoor season. Most recently, Yosef clocked a personal-best mile time of 5:12.84 at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup.
Friday, 6:45 p.m. – Men's 800 – The men's 800 has traditionally been one of the strongest events at the Liberty Quad, beginning with former VMI standout Donnie Cowart's victory in the inaugural Liberty Quad in 2007. Last year, Wake Forest's Thomas Morrison won with a facility-record time of 1:53.40. This year's field includes promising Virginia freshmen Payton Hazzard and Afolabi Shokunbi, as well as the Flames' Paul Arslain. Last week, Arslain clocked the second-fastest 600-meter time in program history with his 1:19.47 at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup.
Valentine Invitational Preview
Liberty will send 13 athletes to Boston this weekend for the Valentine Invitational, one of the largest meets in the Northeast. The event is especially known for fast times in the mid-distance and distance races.
As mentioned previously, all of the women's events will take place on Friday and the men's events will follow on Saturday. Some of the Liberty men's competitors are already familiar with the Boston University Track and Tennis Center after previously competing in IC4A meets at the facility.
Liberty's women's competitors will include Mia Aghaji (triple jump & high jump), Meghan Burggraf (800), Olivia Charnuski (200 & 60 hurdles), Jacy Christiansen (mile), Khristina Kanagy (5K) and Jennifer Klugh (5K).
On the men's side, Taylor Courtney (500 & 4 x 400), Kyle Gill (400 & 4 x 400), Leonard Robbins (60 & 4 x 400), Ryan Smith (shot put & weight), Andre Washington (400 & 4 x 400), Isaac Wendland (mile) and Kyle Wheeler (high jump) will participate in the Valentine Invitational.
Six Events You Won't Want to Miss
Listed in chronological order
Friday, 5:30 p.m. – Women's Mile – Coming off of a Liberty freshman-record 9:57.43 clocking in the 3K at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup, Jacy Christiansen will make her collegiate mile debut on Friday. She should have plenty of competition, as 28 women ran under 5:00 for the mile at the 2011 Valentine Invitational.
Friday, 8:40 p.m. – Women's 5K – Almost exactly one year to the day after setting the Liberty women's indoor 5K record at 16:56.14, Jennifer Klugh will look to improve upon that mark Friday evening. The pace figures to be fast again this year, after 11 women's runners clocked 5K times of 16:53 or faster at the 2011 Valentine Invitational. Highlighting the list of entrants are former Providence standout Kate DiCamillo, who boasts a personal-best time of 16:03, and reigning ECAC outdoor women's 5K champion Carly Seymour of Duke.
Saturday, 11 a.m. – Men's Shot Put – Ryan Smith has enjoyed a strong redshirt junior season, winning four of his five shot put competitions. He is the top seed on Saturday in his first meet at the Boston University Track and Tennis Center since placing third in the shot put at the 2011 IC4A indoor meet.
Saturday, 1:25 p.m. – Men's 500 – Taylor Courtney certainly has positive memories of racing on the track at Boston University. At the 2011 IC4A Indoor Track & Field Championship, Courtney took home an improbable title in a school-record time of 1:01.96. Saturday's race will be his first at the facility since that memorable race on March 6, 2011. (To watch a replay of Courtney's IC4A 500-meter title race, click here.)
Saturday, 1:55 p.m. – Men's Mile – Just like Taylor Courtney, Isaac Wendland excelled in his most recent visit to the Boston University Track and Tennis Center. He finished as the 2011 IC4A runner-up for the 1,000-meter run, lowering the school record to 2:24.74. This time around, he hopes to lower his mile personal-best time of 4:16.95. At the 2011 Valentine Invitational, five men broke the 4:00 mile, including a quartet of collegiate athletes.
Saturday, 6:20 p.m. – Men's 4 x 400 Relay – Last week at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup, the Liberty quartet of Andre Washington, Taylor Courtney, Kyle Gill and Leonard Robbins recorded a 4 x 400 relay time of 3:17.31. The Flames' 4 x 400 relay squad tops the Big South performance list for the season and has already qualified for the IC4A meet. One objective on Saturday could be earning a spot on Liberty's all-time top 10 list for the indoor 4 x 400 relay, with a time of 3:16.49 or faster.

New here, but I have been lurking 3 years trying to get my Clayton to put out heat and also burn anthracite.
What I found that has not been posted here before is 2 things.
First, as to no heat issue.. Struggling with this thing and getting ready to scrap it, I recently had a Bingo and found MY solution. My fix was in the duct work. Dumping into the supply duct of the furnace, one would think it would eventually find it's way into the house so that was the last thing I looked at. However, desperate for the heat this thing was creating but not sending it to the house, I decided to cut a slot in the duct and jam a sheet metal blocker in the duct, forcing all air into the supply only direction. BINGO All the heat I wanted instantly. it seemed I was loosing a very large percentage of heat and airflow into the ducts and it went no where.
Second As to the Clayton ash door draft and the Middle draft that the combustion blower goes on (Which I don't have the blower) I found that the two spin drafts go to exactly the same place!!!! The only thing different between using one or the other that I can see, is the top one hits the cast iron firebox end and preheats the air.
This took me 2 years to figure out. It does not matter if you use the upper spin draft or the bottom, the air flows both to upper firebox holes and under grates.
Maybe I have an odd ball, but this played heck on my burning anthracite, thinking the air in the ash pan door was only going under the grates.
I have stuffed insulation in the holes on the end plates, but I'm finding more air leakage points all over the firebox every time I clean for a new loading. Just under the front door is the second place I found air leaks, a plate I thought was solid welded was only spot welded, leaving air in.. stuffed that with insulation also.. Also found the end plates along the sides are a source of leakage also.
As it's burning now, I'm convinced there are more and will do more searching at next cleanout time.
Just thought I'd add these facts I found in case others have the same problem as I've not seen these points brought up yet.
The Spin drafts sending air to the same places was a real eye opener when I found it. They are NOT separate top and bottom air feeds. Again, only reason I can see to use one or the other is that the top one drives the air into the cast iron front plate preheating the air.
This really has me wondering also, if this is not why it eats wood at an ungodly rate... no matter which spin damper you use, it still goes under the grates and above. To me, this seems like a very poor design for air feeds.

The Saskatchewan government is aware of a BBC documentary about Glencore that brings to light some questionable practices.
Child labour in the Democratic Republic of Congo, dumping chemicals and possibility paying paramilitaries are some of the issues on the list put together by BBC Panorama reporter John Sweeney.
Glencore is to set up its North American headquarters in Regina, which is why Premier Brad Wall was asked about the documentary.
The Swiss company is the big player in a $6.1 billion deal to buy up Regina grain-handling company Viterra. The deal still needs approval from two thirds of share-holders who vote on it next month.
While these stories may not have a Canadian connection, it's important for those who make regulatory decisions to know all the details about who they're letting into the business community, said Sweeney.
Wall is aware of the issues raised in the film, but he says there's no reason to expect the company would pose a threat to Saskatchewan.
"We have laws and we enforce those laws in terms of occupational health and safety, in terms of labour standards, in terms of our environment, and obviously, we would enforce those laws regardless of whoever was active in the province," Wall told reporters.
In addition to the shareholder vote, Wall says numerous reviews of the transaction will be done before a decision is made on the take-over.
The research by the BBC started after Sweeney noticed the size of the Swiss-based commodities giant Glencore PLC.
"The Glencore float in the London stock exchange last year, with the biggest float we think in history, it came in something like £37 billion," said Sweeney, by phone from London.
The special is called Billionaires Behaving Badly. It aired for the first time Monday night on the BBC.
In the program, Sweeney reveals issues in Congo and Colombia, where Glencore is accused of reckless greed.
"A few weeks ago they were dumping acids right into the river," he said about a copper and cobalt mine they visited in Congo. (View the video here.)
The water tested had a pH of 1.9, with 1.0 being pure acid and 7.0 is neutral. Glencore admits they knew about it, but didn't fix it right away.
"They say it's because the government didn't want them to close down the refinery while they did so," Sweeney said.
Glencore released a statement it released in response to the documentary. It says addressing this issue has been a priority since it took over that mine in 2009. It is working on a complex system to direct the effluent to a tallings pond.
Sweeney's crew found another issue -- child labourers. (Read the BBC's report here.)
"It's got mine shafts 150 feet deep and the artisanal freelance miners walk down them. Some of them are children, it's illegal, it's against international law for any person under the age of 18 to work in a mine and we saw quite a few under 18 year olds and out researchers came across one child who was 10," Sweeney said.
According to the company, they stopped working in that mine four years ago and that any mining done there wasn't authorized by them, but Sweeney's team tracked the copper that comes from that mine and found that it ends up in Glencore's smelter.
Glencore responds by saying it makes every effort to ensure that material from those unauthorized miners don't make it into its shipments. In its statement, it details those efforts working with third-party operators who ship the material.
The problems found by Sweeney weren't limited to Africa. In Colombia, they investigated a 2002 massacre over a piece of land, called El Prado, next door to a Glencore mining concession. In 2008 the people who occupied the land were believed by local police to associates of the killers. (Read the BBC's report here.)
"When the court looked into this they concluded that the reason for the massacre was so that these paramilitary murderers could take over the land, so they could sell on it to Glencore's subsidiary there … In 2008 Glencore admits paying $1.8 million dollars to the people on this land, who the locals believed to be associates of the paramilitaries," Sweeney said.
"Glencore insists they haven't done anything wrong and they go on to say they were asked to do this by the government. They don't want land, they say, they have no interest in it. Nevertheless they paid over $1.8 million for it."
Glencore explains in its statement that $1.8 million was not to acquire land, but to compensate those residents – as decided by the Colombian government -- for improvements they made to their homes and nearby plantations.
The BBC investigation talked with Ivan Glasenberg, the CEO of Glencore, about their discoveries of bad practices. The company's full statement in response to the documentary can be read in full here.
"To be fair, Mr. Glasenberg, is robust in his defense. He believes, for example in the acid waterfall that they finally cleared up a mess that was made a long time ago.
"They believe they haven't done anything wrong in relation to these allegations of being involved with child labour or done anything wrong in Colombia.
"Nevertheless these stories are out there and there are evidence in each one," Sweeney said.

Trading error sparks nationwide probe
Mainland regulators to check systems at financial companies after Everbright fiasco
The trading mishap caused by Everbright Securities has raised the hackles of the regulators, who will soon launch a probe into the trading systems at financial institutions nationwide.
In focus is arbitrage trading based on pre-programmed mathematical calculations, or "algo", or "quants", which market watchers say mainland firms may have embraced without fully understanding the risks involved.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is also considering setting up a circuit-breaking mechanism as part of efforts to avoid a repeat of the August 16 trading error that triggered the biggest swing in its benchmark index since 2009.
The exchange would also consider allowing the cancelling of trades in incidents similar to the erroneous buy orders of Everbright, an unidentified spokesman from the exchange said on its Weibo platform yesterday.
The exchange was also looking into allowing investors to buy and sell the same stock on the same day, to protect the rights of small investors, the spokesman said.
"Mainland fund managers are only primary school pupils and they shouldn't have dared trying their hand at exercises meant for high school students," said a source close to the China Securities Regulatory Commission. "Unfortunately, the regulator wasn't fully aware of the risks and it has now decided to make amends for the mistake."
Program trading - an investment strategy driven by a computer programmed to respond to pre-selected conditions - has increased in popularity on the mainland since the launch of stock index futures in 2010, which created an arbitrage system for fund managers.
Financial firms have begun using these computer-driven trading systems that made and lost fortunes for their early adopters in Western markets. In the process, trade values on China's quant fund industry have grown to billions of yuan, with nearly all institutional investors keen on expanding the businesses.
The regulator is believed to have been accommodating of "quant" trading because it thought that the trades were a negligible proportion of the mainland mutual fund assets, estimated at more than three trillion yuan (HK$3.8 trillion).
Program trading, unlike portfolio investing, uses statistical models to find predictable patterns in financial data to identify buying or selling opportunities.
Everbright said a computer glitch triggered billions of yuan in buy orders that drove the market up nearly 6 per cent in just a few minutes. It admitted that the "firewall" that should have been activated automatically to halt trading failed to work.
"China's fund managers are immature but fearless," said Dong Jun, a hedge fund manager. "They thought it's a smart way of making money in a weak market, but they didn't understand that a small error, either a human error or computer glitch or a broadband disconnection, could result in chaos and huge losses."
Everbright lost at least 200 million yuan while other investors may have lost billions.

Does any one know of a plugin that allows you to display posts from one blog on a page of a completely separate WordPress site?
It's called "RSS". Most blogs have it
Pressateers said
It's called "RSS". Most blogs have it
No I'm not talking about an RSS .
Well maybe I"m missing something here.
I'm talking about having one site show the actual post on another site. Not a simple feed.
He's saying the simplest solution is to just capture the RSS feed, parse it, then display it however you'd like.
Otherwise, you might want to build some sort of RESTful service API . Perhaps something like this plugin might help you do that http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-web-service/
So are you saying I can manipulate an RSS feed from a site I set-up to display the posts on an entirely different site of my own?
I'm asking because someone is telling me that you can't…so I"m getting conflicting answers.
Thanks Seven I will forward this to my guy

Yawn. Last night there was a storm. If I was somewhere else, or my big sister, Sandy, was at the groomers or something, I would have slept, because I['m a brave dog and I'm not afraid of thunder or lightning. However, Sandy is absolutely petrified of storms. Sandy got so scared she had to be let in the garage, and because I'm her good ol' playmate, I had to go inside the garage with her. The storm pretty much went on all night, so me and Sandy slept in the garage. Okay, technically we didn't sleep much, but when we were let out of the garage this morning, we were soooo happy. I even did my little dance. I didn't do it long, though, because the next thing I did was went and took a nap. Boy, did that feel good.

Citation: Stuff, J.E., Horton, J.A., Bogle, M.L., Connell, C., Ryan, D., Zaghloul, S., Thornton, A., Simpson, P., Gossett, J., Szeto, K. 2004. High prevalence of food insecurity and hunger in households in the rural Lower Mississippi Delta. Journal of Rural Health. 20(2):173-180. Interpretive Summary: Household food insecurity is interpreted to mean that the household is unable to get adequate food sufficient to meet basic needs due to inadequate household resources. Food insecurity often results in some individuals going hungry. Food insecurity and hunger impact the nutritional and health status of individuals, especially children and other groups at high risk. Recent data from national surveys indicate that approximately 10% of the population is food insecure. In the national survey, AR, LA, and MS ranked among the highest percentages of households with food insecurity: 13%, 13%, and 14% respectively, with 5%, 4%, and 4% of these households reporting hunger as well. This paper presents data from a sample of households (1662) in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) of AR, LA, and MS, which were surveyed by telephone in 2000. The results were striking: average household food insecurity in the area was 21% or double the rate for US households in 1999. Of these food insecure households, approximately 7% also reported hunger, which is twice the rate in the US. Black households, households with incomes less than $15,000, and those with children were much more likely to be food insecure and to be hungry. Further study is being conducted as to the causes of food insecurity in the LMD. Nutrition intervention strategies are being developed to impact food insecurity and hunger in this region.
Technical Abstract: Context: Residents of the Lower Mississippi Delta of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi are at risk for food insecurity since a high proportion of the population live in households with incomes below the poverty level and have reduced access to food and decreased availability of a variety of foods. However, the magnitude of the problem is unknown because presently only nationwide and state estimates of food insecurity are available. Purpose: This study was conducted by the Lower Mississippi Delta Nutrition Intervention Research Consortium to determine the prevalence of household food insecurity, identify high-risk subgroups in the Lower Delta, and compare to national data. Methods: A 2-stage stratified cluster sample representative of the population in 36 counties in the Lower Delta was selected using list-assisted random digit dialing telephone methodology. A cross-sectional telephone survey of 1662 households was conducted in 18 of the 36 counties using the US Food Security Survey Module. Findings: Twenty-one percent of Lower Delta households were food insecure, double the 2000 nationwide rate of 10.5%. Within the Lower Delta, groups with the highest rates of food insecurity were households with income below $15,000, black households, and households with children. The prevalence of hunger in Delta households with white children was 3.2% and in households with black children was 11.0%, compared to nationwide estimates of 0.3% and 1.6%. Conclusions: The Lower Mississippi Delta is characterized by a high prevalence of food insecurity and hunger. Future efforts to identify the household and community determinants of food insecurity to reduce its high prevalence are indicated.

KENTUCKY: Support cap on payday loans @ 36% APR!
Payday loans cost Kentucky - and Network families - too much. The Kentucky Coalition for Responsible Lending supports a cap on payday loan interest rates at 36 percent APR—just like Congress has enacted to protect military families.
Governor Steve Beshear supports the rate cap. Rep. Jim Glenn of Owensboro will soon introduce a bill to cap pay day loan interest at 36%. The Making Connections Network is a member of the Kentucky Coalition for Repsonsible Lending - and we support the rate cap.
Rep. Glenn is a great sponsor. But he can't do it by himself. He'll need plenty of support. You can help. Please call your state Representative today. Ask him or her to:
Support the 36 percent APR payday loan rate cap Join Rep. Glenn as a co-sponsor of the bill!
Call the toll free Legislative Message Line. 1-800-372-7181. TTY 1-800-896-0305. En Español 1-877-287-3134. Or call 502-564-8100 and ask for your Representative. Legislative staff will take a message.
Find your state Representative online at www.lrc.ky.gov or www.votesmart.org. Let the Coalition know if you get a response! Just email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Some Background
The Kentucky Coalition for Responsible Lending now includes over 60 Kentucky organizations. For links to facts sheets and personal stories go to http://kyresponsiblelending.wordpress.com. Some of the highlights:
Over 40 percent of borrowers believe payday loan interest rates are less than 30% APR, when in fact rates in Kentucky are at least 391% APR—and often exceed 400%. Payday loans are not a "once in a while" solution.
Nationwide, borrowers take out an average if nine or more payday loans in a year—a "cycle of debt."There are alternatives: traditional small loans—at 36% or less—from consumer finance companies increased by nearly 40 percent after a rate cap was enacted in North Carolina.
- Kentucky State House
- Kentucky State Senate
- Kentucky Governor
Payday loans cost Kentucky - and our families - too much. Representative Jim Glenn is going to sponsor a bill to cap on payday loan interest rates at 36 percent APR—just like Congress has enacted to protect military families. I am part of the Making Connections Network - a network of over 3000 residents who support this cap.
Members of our Network know first hand that it is too easy to get trapped in a payday loan pattern that can effectively cost 400% interest on a $100 loan. We support action by the Kentucky State Legislature that ensures responsible lending in our state.
I look forward to hearing from you on this matter,

My mom had rapid hair loss and the dermatologist was NOT at all helpful. She diagnosed her with male pattern baldness after all her tests came back normal and sent her on her way. We do NOT have male pattern baldness in the family. My mom went to family doctors and even an endocrinologist. They tried low doses of synthroid (thyroid medicine) on her, along with other things, to no avail. My mom discovered on her own research that it was a medication she was taking that caused it. (It was a side effect, but not a common one) She also wasn't eating enough protein which didn't help her. Her hair has since grown back and its curly. (shes very happy about that) Are you on any medications? Are you eating a good balanced diet? Those are two factors that can make huge differences on hair growth and/or loss. All I can say is, be your own advocate. Sometimes docs have a hard time figuring it out.

Course Work
The purpose of the course work in the candidate's major field is to introduce the candidate to the major historical writings and debates in the area covered, prepare them to teach and undertake original research in that area, and provide a context for the broad-ranging historiographical and interpretative portion of their thesis proposal. The purpose of the course work in the minor is to add breadth to the candidate's training, either to strengthen and widen the framework for the dissertation, to prepare for future teaching or to broaden knowledge of methodology and historiography.
At the time of pre-registration in the summer, after consulting with the thesis supervisor and Graduate Chair, students shall provide the Graduate Office with a list of their intended seminars. Upon arrival in September, they shall obtain the approval of their instructors, potential thesis supervisor, and the Graduate Chair for their entire programme (courses and major and minor fields). Normally the thesis is written in a major field. No member of the faculty shall be responsible for supervising more than one graduate seminar or graded reading course in a candidate's Ph.D. programme. A minimum final grade of B+ (3.3) in all primary courses is required. Failure to fulfil this requirement will result in the student being asked to withdraw from the programme.
History 901
All doctoral students are required to take History 901. This seminar introduces Ph.D. candidates in the Queen's Department of History to a selection of theories and methods that have shaped the contemporary discipline of history. The purpose of the course is threefold:
- to expose doctoral students to an array of approaches to history and debates about the practice of history, which, it is hoped, will help them to situate their thesis work in broader theoretical and methodological contexts;
- to provide students with a foundational vocabulary and conceptual resources for the field of history;
- to encourage the development of intellectual community among the Ph.D. candidates. Toward these ends, course readings encompass a wide range of different theories, methods, and examples of historical scholarship drawn from the department's three major 'clusters' (Canada/North America; world; Europe). Individual weeks' readings will usually include one or two theoretical or methodological pieces alongside one or two examples of historical scholarship that incorporate the theory or method in question. This half year course is taught as a Pass/Fail graded course. All course assignments will be graded using the normal scale, but the final grade will be calculated as P or F, while expecting a rigorous and high standard of performance for a passing grade.
Graded reading courses can be taken in exceptional circumstances and only if no existing graduate seminar in the field is offered. Request for a graded reading course requires approval by the Graduate Chair, the supervisor and the instructor of the reading course.
Royal Military College
Students may also take graduate courses offered at the Royal Military College. Offerings vary from year to year, and interested students should consult both History departments well in advance. Note: Normally students taking courses at RMC must take, or must have taken, two other regular history courses in the Queen's History Department, either as part of a three-course M.A. program or as one of three Ph.D. courses. The cooperative Queen's/RMC programme permits students to take a course at either institution without payment of extra fees.
Instructors are asked to arrange their courses so that each student will have completed by mid-October sufficient written work to provide an objective standard upon which to judge his/her progress. The purpose of this regulation is to assist instructors and the department fellowships committee in the writing of references for scholarship applications which are usually due by late October/early November and also so that students may have an indication of their standing to date in each course.
All graduate instructors shall report to the Graduate Chair on the progress of students enrolled in their courses by the end of the first term of enrolment. The Graduate Committee may judge it appropriate to recommend to the School of Graduate Studies that a student withdraw, if it is thought that he/she is not capable of showing improvement in the second term.
Incomplete Work
The deadline for completion of incomplete work in any graduate course is 15 August of the year following initial registration in the course. Individual exceptions can be made to this rule only on the explicit permission of the Graduate Committee following appeal by the student to the Graduate Committee. If a student has not completed all requirements for a course the year following initial registration, then that student must sign a contract with his/her instructor that specifies exactly when those requirements are to be completed. A student may not register in the second or subsequent year of his/her graduate programme with an incomplete mark unless the Graduate Committee has ruled that an extension be granted.
Graduate teaching is conducted in full graduate courses, joint or combined courses, or directed reading courses. A joint or combined course is a seminar in which both graduate and senior undergraduate students are enrolled. The orientation of joint or combined seminars should depend on the balance of enrolment. In joint courses where the graduate students constitute a majority, the primary orientation should be graduate. In combined courses where the undergraduate students constitute a majority, the primary orientation should be undergraduate. In any particular case, precise pedagogical methods remain the prerogative of the instructor. Graduate students will take no more than 30% of their courses in combined or joint undergraduate and graduate courses. The size of graduate seminars normally should not exceed 12 students. Combined seminars should not contain more than 16 graduates and undergraduates. Enrolment in joint seminars will be limited on a sliding scale depending on the number of graduate students enrolled in the seminar. The maximum enrolment will be reduced by one for each graduate student registered in the seminar. Hence one graduate registration will reduce the total enrolment to 15; two will reduce it to 14, et seq. Four graduate student registrations reduce it to 12, and total enrolment will not be reduced further beyond that. If five graduate students register for a joint seminar, consideration will be given to de-combining the course.

I usually straighten my hair in the winter, and wear it natural in the summer. Since the climate where I live is particularly dry in the winter, I make sure to deep condition my hair twice a week, and always use a heat protectant. Then, since I spend a lot of time at the beach in the summer, I put aloe vera in my hair before I go out. Maybe it's just me, but my hair isn't really prone to a lot of damage, and I don't see a huge problem with heat styling. As long as you keep your hair healthy

Kistler Vineyards Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay 2006
Chardonnay from Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard's light gold hue is followed by a flowery, honeysuckle, crushed rock, white currant, nectarine, and caramel-scented bouquet. This full-bodied effort possesses superb acidity as well as length.
Range: 96-98"
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Deep, hazy yellow. Brooding aromas of peach pit, pear skin, lees and minerals gain brightness with air, picking up livelier lime and lemongrass character. Densely packed orchard and pit fruit flavors are complicated by iodine, smoky lees and flowers. This has the texture and chewiness of a red wine. The finish strongly repeats the mineral element and lingers with impressive clarity and tanginess. For such a rich wine there's really surprising finesse too. The yield here was less than one ton per acre, Kistler told me."
Wine Spectator - "A touch of mint joins ripe, rich, complex green apple and pear flavors in this full-bodied, complex youngster, retuning to the minty note on the finish."

Kistler Vineyards
Founded in 1978, Kistler Vineyards is a small, family-owned and operated winery specializing in the production of Burgundian style Chardonnay and limited amounts of Pinot Noir. Grapes are estate grown and purchased from vineyards in Sonoma County. In 1992, Kistler Vineyards moved all production to its Vine Hill Road Vineyard in the Russian River Valley.

About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about half as much wine as its northeasterly neighbor. Because of its vast size, however, Sonoma is able to achieve far more diversity within its borders, which include sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid-back and down-to-earth, but the wines are serious and well-made, ranging in style from subtle and elegant to rich and powerful. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Maui Police Continue Investigation into Missing Woman
Maui police searched the car belonging to Bernard Brown, the ex-boyfriend of Moreira "Mo" Monsalve. She's been missing since January 12th and was with Brown that night. Hawaii News Now is reporting Brown's car was repossessed earlier this week. Brown is considered a "person of interest" because he was the last person to see Monsalve and he's refused a polygraph. Brown was reportedly seen on the trails at Polipoli Recreation Area by government workers. Brown maintains he is innocent and is worried about Mo, as well.

Having worked extensively with FI, I can tell you that there is no reason other than if the injector or chip is visibly broke that I wouldn't use it again. There is a big difference between and oil pump and a ECM chip or Injector. For one, if the injector or chip isn't functioning, you are going to know pretty quickly, and two, they are easily accessible.
If you are looking for someone to tell you that rebuidling the 305 is the best option, then that will have to come from someone else. With a little work and research, you can have a fresh TBI 350 in your 88.
If you just want a decent running engine in your 88 without much concern for higher HP potential, then run the 305 and dont even hassle with the 89's engine.
For the most part, the chip between your two TBI's is the same. Other than a different fuel map and spark curve they contain mainly the same pre-programming. Your 350 would even run off the 305's chip, though it might run a little lean.
You said it yourself, no replacement for displacement. It just depends on what you want out of this.

i am a new author and sent in 5 songs.I was waiting patiently wondering when i would get an answer.Thanks for this update. Though i think i made a mistake in my mp3's that i sent – not the proper rate- what will happen?
Hello! Welcome to the AudioJungle
If you've made just a minor mistake like that – mp3 bitrate – and there's nothing else wrong with your submission (for example, quality), your item will just get "soft-rejected", which means you will only have to correct those minor mistakes you've made and then you can resubmit your file. I hope this helped you

I'm not agree urbazon. Not only Themeforest where people need support. For example, i have an item where time by time people asking me because of a bug. And now, its became 100% sure the bug is not in the action, but with few version of the Photoshop. Unfortunately i can not post there the solution because it's weird. But i recognized that, many buyers post there, then i answering to them, but i never see them again. I offering them skype, but maybe they dont have. So how can i help them? Something else, they can only send email through our profile, why they can not send an email right away from the item's page? If you dont want to give support, thats your choice, problem is i would like to but its not clean-cut for them how to get this support. We should be rated by support as well, for example.
I agree with you, other items may require some support as well. But, for such cases, when you discover something, you have the FAQ (improved by the dev team just a few days ago) and/or your item's description page, where you could point out known issues to all of your buyers (as well as potential ones). Plus, they've recently announced that they are working on the better support system as a primary current goal. And I have to remind you that support is welcomed but not an obligation. It's a bit of a paradox (Just a small one )
On the other hand, I believe you'll agree that advanced search tools aren't something that's needless/useless…
But I decided I'm gonna be patient and wait and see what the Dev team will bring to us in (near) future. Hopefully after all this Rails upgrade fuss, they can now focus on the billions of features that have been continuously requested in the past 2 or so years
P.S. I am very sorry for putting this topic on a side path (ie. towards offtopic). Let's get back to discussion about "Who's Online" suggestion.
dekurvajo said
it could be optional, so you could choose you use our status or not. Actually the site should give more possibility to giving support to the buyers.
I hear these things all the time and I always wonder about it, because support is not mandatory, yet everybody is making such a big fuss about it and the tools that should be provided for it… It's like from all Envato marketplaces, ThemeForest is the only one that matters… On the other hand, we still have a prehistoric version of search interface (apart from 3dOcean, which got it's search tool upgraded)
(Please don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm against the requested support features. I'm always supporting requests to provide useful tools to both authors and buyers, but still, some other things should be prioritized, shouldn't they?)
On topic: I also wouldn't like people to know whether I'm online or not. Plus I don't see why would that be of any relevance.
Niiice, thanks!

?? ?. Edit: cyrillic is not supported here, but I can write in latinic, because we have both in Serbian language
Sre?an boži?.
Ah, I even stopped counting how many times my posts here failed because I forget there's no unicode support
Anyway, as mocarg and dorde already said, in Serbian it's: "srecan Bozic!" , where "z" and both "c" characters are accented
Also, there's a custom to "greet" the person you meet with Christ's name, in this manner:
you say "Hristos se rodi!" (which means "Christ is born!")
and you get a reply "Vaistinu se rodi!" ("He is born indeed!" with a bit archaic Serbian word for "indeed" )
There's a similar custom for the Easter as well

Btw, if you have the option to manually adjust focus on your camera, use it to set the fixed value and lose that "shaking" when your camera tries to readjust focus
Thanks for the info, Jarel

Hi mate, what do you use for the Sling rings? I am in need of some and I can't find any online. And you're in the UK too! cheers
Hi mate, what do you use for the Sling rings? I am in need of some and I can't find any online. And you're in the UK too! cheers
I make my own posts from ally and use steel welded rings.
How much would a set be sent to Bath, UK?
PM'd u.
Created a new resin part for my ESB kit. I normally machine a short piece of aluminium tube to fit on the end of the chrome tube I supply with my kits, this then glues inside the front scope mount/barrel front. I do this as the chrome tube is relatively expensive and see no point in having a couple of inches unseen inside the barrel.
I've now cast one of these pieces to save me machining time. The part that goes in the barrel/mount is a snug fit on the mount but a loose fit in the barrel - done so you can shim it to a tight fit with plasticard/tape/cardboard and get the chrome tube to line up straight with the barrel. I recommend this part is epoxied in for maximum strength (the surface of the adapter is rough to aid adhesion)
(Kit price unnaffected)
Hey Sidewinder... I have one of your kits from 2010... do you drill the holes into the metal tube yourself? I'm not happy with the one I made (I only have access to a hand drill and not a press) do you have these available separately?
PM sent.
the custom barrel is pretty sweet
Now working on a full ESB buildup for a US Fett who wanted more pew pew for his buck. To that end He sent me a chopped down (save on postage!) Hasbro blaster toy to use for the light and sound gubbins. When I got it I was pretty impressed with the sound quality and volume from a cheapo toy.
First I stripped out the electronics leaving what you see here:
Battery case, speaker, circuit board and single ultrabrite LED. All these parts will be going inside the barrel cavity.
The trigger switch is built onto the board which is no good for mounting in my kit due to space restrictions, so the blue and white wires were soldered on to allow a micro switch to be connected to it.
I hollowed out the relevant areas in the Webley frame and inserted the switch, modifying the trigger part slightly so it acts on it when pulled. The fake resin screw was replaced with a real one to act as the trigger pivot. You can just see the top of the microswitch:
I've found the speaker is a perfect fit in the barrel but will need careful positioning along the length to provide the best sound as the hollow barrel changes the sound depending where you put it.
The battery case will need the four lugs removing for it to fit in the barrel - I suspect these hold it together somehow so i'll probably need to sort that one I chop em off.
That's really cool!
Very cool... I might have to send you one to do the same!
Thanks for the update! This is gonna be sweet! .....pew peew pew peew!
Bit more done, extended the speaker and LED wires and have installed both in the barrel. Found a greebly from my box of bits (think it was a gear from a VCR) that I can use as a holder for the LED and will sit at the base of the chrome tube.
Showing LED and holder piece:
Looking down barrel at Speaker:

Couple of pics (without flash) 'firing':
(bit of a HAL impression)
Finally a pic of the rear showing the batt pack:
A quick vid taken on my phone to show initial testing: Boba Fett ESB Blaster SFX test - YouTube
AMAZING Sidewinder!!!!!!!!!!Could you do the same effect on ROTJ version?
Thanks a lot, Leo
Don't see why not, the ROTJ has a smaller muzzle so that might affect the sound a bit.
Drat, I've glued the speaker in already so I can't try it out in one of my ROTJ barrels
You are the man! I am giddy after seeing the video! I think I've watched it 4 times!
That is outstanding...... and really has got me thinking about doing that to mine..... long overdue..............
soooooo cant wait to get mine. fantastic..

July 31, 2014
By Brian Rice
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.- The development of the Tennessee football program from year one of the Butch Jones era to its second act has been a process that has relied heavily on the players themselves. And that's just the way Jones wanted it.
The second-year head coach of the Volunteers highlighted the off-season commitment of his players in his first comments to the media ahead of the opening of fall camp for Team 118. Jones met the media in the Stokely Family Media Center at Neyland Stadium Thursday afternoon with the opening practice of camp set for Friday night at Haslam Field.
That development started with players doing extra work outside of the off-season conditioning program. The players took ownership of the off-season, fulfilling the rolls that Jones wanted for them.
"When you watch our practice Friday night, you're going to see a team of guys coaching each other," Jones said. "We always talk about it's better to be a player-led team, a player-coached team, than it is to be a coach-coached team in terms of them being around each other. They've taken great ownership of that."
Moves made in the weight room have caught Tennessee up in an area that Jones felt was lacking a season ago. A stronger team emerged from Dave Lawson's weight room this summer, but Jones knows there is still work to be done.
"We're still not where we need to be as a program," Jones said of the overall strength level of his program. "But if you look at our bodies out on the field tomorrow night, they've changed. They're in great condition. But there's a difference between the strength and conditioning level and being in football condition."
Two of the quarterbacks that will vie for the starting role found themselves doing the same extra work over the summer. Joshua Dobbs and Justin Worley traveled to California to work under noted QB guru George Whitfield, though neither knew the other would be there.
"We first saw each other when we got there, so it was good to see a familiar face," Dobbs said. "It was a surprise, but a good surprise.
"Coach Whitfield said he really doesn't like having two quarterbacks from the same school there at the same time," Worley said of running into his teammate. "But he praised us for competing, but also working together. It was very constructive for us."
Jones said getting to those national camps was beneficial to his quarterbacks and for every player that was able to leave campus to get better.
"Any time you can get around other individuals and compete, it's a great measuring stick of where you're at and work your craft, work your trade," said Jones. "When they had time off, they weren't going home relaxing. They were going to better their skill set, they were going to better themselves as a football player, but also mentally, the classroom setting, all that goes into it."
The mental development at the quarterback position and all over the field will be key to the goal that Jones set last season of playing faster. Now, the team has a base of experience to build their tempo on and an infusion of young talent that brings a boost in speed all over the field.
"I anticipate us playing at a different team speed," Jones said. "The biggest area where you will be able to see that is in the special teams game, in the coverage units."
In noting the lack of speed and depth that plagued the coverage units, Jones rattled off the names of a half-dozen newcomers that would step onto the field to boost those units. Freshmen and newcomers will see action there and all over the field, but Jones sees that as an opportunity, not a weakness.
That opportunity extends to players who have been on campus, but played in areas, particularly along the lines, where upperclassmen held long-term starting roles. Those roles are now up for grabs.
"You guys talk about them being brand new, but a lot of these guys have been here for two, three years," Worley said of his offensive linemen. "They've been in the system, they know what's expected of them. They've embraced their role, they've embraced being the gas petal to get this thing going."
"I think of it as a tremendous opportunity," said Jones on the lines. "Now is your opportunity, go grab it, take hold of it. There are opportunities for individuals all over the place."

LLVMpipe rocks :)
new posts
Using llvmpipe to run a composited window manager = slow GUI.
Have you actually tried using llvmpipe? Any additional stress on the CPU hits the performance hard. It's easy to try it out by yourself. Run you fav game in llvmpipe, try launching a couple of CPU intensive tasks - boom performance drops to the floor. Do the same test on a normal setup - the performance impact is negligible. Now imagine that the game instead is kwin or compiz....
Keep in mind, sarcasm, irony and snarky remarks doesn't translate well in text. There might be a language barrier here too, english isn't my first language. It would be a lot easier if you just said what you wanted to say instead of replying by posting comics.
I already said it
OK, one more time;
You said: if an application stresses the CPU (right? a random app which is demanding a lot of CPU time, OK?), then it will show in the GUI performance, right?
OK, so you implied that was only the case with LLVM.
Now my point: before offloading to the GPU (let that do the heavy lifting), the CPU must pre-proces/arrange the data to be send to the GPU.
Now what I was saying: even if you didn't use LLVMpipe, but were to use a GPU driver, then if the CPU is stressed by an app; it would also instantly show degraded GUI performance.
Do you understand what I'm getting at?
Heh, at this point it becomes quite obvious that you haven't tried this out yourself.
The performance penalty is several orders of magnitude greater when you're doing the rendering on the CPU rather than offloading it to the GPU.
I'll say it again just to be sure, the time spent processing data (on the CPU) before it gets sent off to the GPU is negligible compared to the time spent rendering it on the CPU.
Don't take my word for it, run a few tests yourself, I don't think kwin/compiz/g-s is usuable with llvmpipe yet, but any game or demo should suffice to prove my point.
I guess this was a misunderstanding when it comes to theory versus practice. Yes - in theory you get a slowdown in both cases - but there's a clear difference between a microseconds delay and "oh my god why is my mouse cursor taking three seconds to move from one side of the screen to the other".
Originally posted by kbios View PostI tested Extreme Tux Racer (same specs as above) and both were nearly playable at 10-15 fps depending on resolution. That's strange, but it seems llvmpipe's speed depends only on resolution, and not on the number of objects/detail/filtering. Anyone can explain this?## VGA ##
Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)
Originally posted by darkbasic View PostI use kde 4.5. Its compositor do work only with proprietary drivers because it makes use of opengl2 extensions still not supported by open drivers. So I simply do not use it at all and I don't know if it works with LLVMpipe. Anyway kwin 4.4 should run quite well even with llvmpipe.
It did take some twiddling, though, and I had to remove some blacklist entries by hand. It was probably some effect I was using before that barfed up. Starting with a clean KWin setup (deleting kwinrc) and configuring from there fixed it.
