To simply call Dr. Carlo Reyes busy would be an understatement. Carlo is not only an attorney, but also is board-certified in emergency medicine and pediatrics, and is also part of the clinical faculty at OliveView-UCLAMedicalCenter in both departments. He is also the assistant director of emergency medicine at LosRoblesHospital in Thousand Oaks.
Reyes sat down between shifts to share some of thoughts on his unique career.
CITATIONS: Can you describe a typical day as an emergency room doctor?
Carlos Reyes: The emergency room is an interesting place to work because you don't know what you're going to walk into. You have to be able to prepare for anything that comes through the doors and I think that's what attracted me to emergency medicine. Every day you have to be able to handle any situation. I started my career working the night shift where the hospital runs on a skeleton crew with fewer nurses and staff available. This is when you really hone your skills as a doctor, and depending on what type of facility you work at, dangerous things can happen, especially when you work on weekends. That's when deadly activity comes in with gunshot wounds or penetrating trauma. Typically, someone might be having a heart attack or stroke in one room and another patient might be suffering from a broken ankle in another room. You need to tailor your emotions and responses to meet the needs of the patient. That's the challenges of the ER. It's a very fast-paced job and it's just going to get faster.
CITATIONS: What is your opinion on the PPACA – Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act?
CR: The way things are taking shape – the political climate, an increasing patient census, the shortage of primary care physicians – all these things make emergency medicine a rapidly changing field. Many people are under-insured, or don't have insurance. But now with the passing of the PPACA people may have insurance, but don't even know they're insured or they may have insurance but they don't have a doctor. The new challenge of the PPACA is that access to a primary care physician is going to be a problem. You may have insurance but what if it takes two months to see a doctor? This is causing a large influx of patients into the emergency room. Instead of waiting months to see their primary doctor, patients wait hours to see an emergency room doctor. There are still challenges ahead for the Affordable Care Act not only because of the primary care physician shortages, but you're also seeing a lot of physicians that don't want to take Medicare or Medicaid any more. I'm not only a doctor, but I am a patient as well, so I see both sides of the primary care access problems. The PPACA is a virtuous cause, but it may not adequately address the primary care shortage, which is critical for its success.
CITATIONS: It's quite a transition from life and death situations to law. What made you decide to pursue healthcare law?
CR: I've always wanted to be a lawyer. My father was a doctor and influenced my decision to pursue medicine. While I was training to become a physician I never forgot my dream to become an attorney. My interest in law was rekindled when I was in emergency medicine and I started to see the frivolous lawsuits. As a physician you try to help patients and you try to do the right thing and at the end of the day as a physician you are still vulnerable to lawsuits. Initially, I wanted to protect doctors and hospitals from frivolous medical malpractice actions because, in reality, disease states progress, and patients still unfortunately succumb to disease. It bothered me that physicians and hospitals could still be so vulnerable when everything was done right. As a law student, I started to see a larger healthcare perspective. I gravitated to healthcare law because I saw so many other liabilities at play for physicians and hospitals, not just medical malpractice. I saw how healthcare law can be used to protect the whole field of medicine, compared to the individual doctor or hospital. So I see healthcare law protecting medicine on a larger scale, in terms of interpretation of statutes, regulatory practice, policy, which all impacts how healthcare is delivered nationally. I see healthcare law and medical malpractice defense as really different aspects of the same goal: protecting physicians and the delivery of healthcare.
There are some doctors who end up going into law and they see how lucrative it is on the plaintiffs' side. There is virtue in being a medical malpractice plaintiffs' attorney because there are questionable doctors out there. That's just not the role I wanted to take, because I felt that if I became a medical malpractice plaintiffs' attorney I would no longer be able to practice medicine. It has always been my intention to continue practicing emergency medicine and pediatrics, so it's important for me to have the people I work with in the emergency room and in the hospital able to feel comfortable and trust me knowing that I am there to protect them as an attorney.
Carlo Reyes, M.D., J.D., M.S., F.A.C.E.P., F.A.A.P. leads the Healthcare Law practice at the medical defense firm Boyce Schaeffer LLP in Oxnard. He is married to Dr. Rebecca Reyes, J.D, and has four young daughters. Rebecca is an inpatient psychiatrist and currently treats patients returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffering from PTSD. She will join Carlos's firm when she takes the bar in February. That's another story …

Earlier in the week, the Canyon Del Oro Dorados laid the foundation for a first-round home playoff game by virtue of beating Salpointe, 4-3, in a tense extra-inning game.
"As far as beating Salpointe," said CDO coach Stephen Ambuehl, "We might not be in the playoffs without it."
The Dorados first-round 8-5 win over Glendale Kellis on Saturday wasn't much easier. With the first-round victory, CDO will now face first seed Chandler Seton Catholic in the second round on Tuesday. Results of the game were not available at press time.
In first-round action, Erik Migueles hit a home run to tie the game 4-4 in the fifth inning, setting the stage for the winning rally in the sixth.
"The home run was on a first-pitch fastball," Migueles said.
Jared DuBois opened the sixth with a single. Leo Khawam was asked to bunt. Khawam put down a bunt to move the runner over and appeared to be out at first. But the first baseman dropped the ball, putting runners on first and second. Next, Ambuehl had Anthony Cordova bunt. Cordova bunted it past the pitcher's right to load the bases with no outs. On a grounder to short, a great throw home by the shortstop cut down the lead runner for the first out. Migueles blasted a bases-clearing double to make it 7-4. Ryan Bronson punched a single past the right side to bring in Migueles for the eighth run.
For Migueles, he finished with four hits, and also gunned down a runner at second base on a base hit.
"I knew I couldn't get it diving so I let it drop," Migueles said.
The uncertainty over whether the ball would be caught or dropped made the runner hesitate. Migueles took advantage and registered the assist.
"I've had a couple of three-hit games," Migueles said. "That last inning topped off the day."
The Dorados banged out 13 hits in the win. Bronson had two hits, Nick Ames two, and Cordova had a pair of safeties.
The game was a back-and-forth affair between the 16th seed Dorados and the number 17 Kellis.
Gabe Benevides pitched just over four innings for CDO, allowing six hits, four walks, and two earned runs.

Having a sister is so cool! We do everything together! We play and take naps, and go to the park, and do all kinds of fun stuff! It is way better having her here than before without her. I used to get bored if mommy and daddy were busy, but now I have sissy to play with. My favorite it when we play tug -of-war with the toys. I grab one end and she grabs the other and we both pull until one of us wins! Then we do it all over again. We can keep it up for hours! Mommy says we are crazy puppies! I also like to take naps with sissy. We like to curl up together on the couch. Mommy says it is so cute. Well, that's it for now.
My mommy and daddy just told me that I am going to have a new sister soon! I'm not sure what that means but it sounds great and I get all excited and jump around when they talk about it! Mommy showed me a picture of another dog like me and said that was my sister and she would be coming in a couple of weeks. I don't know what that means but my mommy and daddy are really excited and we have been taking a lot of trips to the pet store to get new things. I love to play with other dogs so I hope the dog in the picture is going to come and play with me.
Today I have been with my new mommy and daddy for an entire year! They were all happy and celebrating today. I got lots of hugs and kisses and treats. They told me I was the best thing to ever happen to them and that they are so happy to have me as part of the family. I'm pretty happy about all of this too. They take really good care of me and my mommy says I'm spoiled. I'm not sure what that means, but I think it means I get lots of treats and toys. I'm really liking all of the attention today, and mommy asked me if I would like a pappy brother or sister. I think that would make life even more fun, but daddy said we will have to wait and see. Oh well, hopefully soon!

Alachua County Commissioners Special Hearing
600 thousand dollars seems to be what is separating the Alachua County Sheriff from the Board of Commissioners. Tensions were high at the Board of County Commissioners special hearing today as the Sheriff made a compelling argument about why Commissioners should spend more of the money at their disposal on law enforcement.
Sheriff Sadie Darnell presented a clear message: she can't cut the budget any more. She said, "The Board of County Commission has to understand what my reality is and that's public safety first. They have to fund us before they go on to any other services or programs."
The Sheriff outlined the 6 million dollars she has already cut and warned that further reductions could cost the community it's safety. But although Board Members agree that law enforcement is critical, they say there are other aspects of public safety and quality of life to consider.
Commissioner DeLaney said, "I don't think the public in fact wants us to cut so that all we're funding is law enforecement...I think that there's really a lot to quality of life in a community: parks and recreation, access to healthcare, all kinds of things...affordable housing, all kinds of things that we sort of have our fingers in."
The problem is, where will the extra 600 thousand dollars needed come from?
Sheriff Darnell made several recommendations, including transferring excess funds from the Tax Collector's Office or using e911 money that's supposed to be used for technology. And Commissioner DeLaney had an idea of her own. She said, "The public doesn't want to know this, but if I'd had it my way I would have been willing to actually raise taxes this year to give our deputies, the jail staff, all the folks who work under the Sheriff a raise."
No decision has been made yet, however the Board Members have promised to consider the Sheriff's proposal as they decide on a final budget in the coming weeks. The Sheriff's budget has to be finalized by September, when public hearings are scheduled.

20 mpg on my tj!!!
I cleared the adaptive memory, went through the 50 starts in 200 miles, filled up with premium, and got 20 mpg!!!!! :eek: I only ran the tank down the first 5 gallons. got 100 miles to those 5 gallons. :thumb:
I lost the thread, here is how I remember it going.
disconnect the + battery terminal,
touch the + terminal to the - terminal,
turn the ignition on,
turn the lights on,
turn them off,
turn the ignition off,
reconnect the + terminal.
I've gotta ask....how do you know you only ran 5 gallons out of the tank?
Please do. I run 35's with 4" lift and average 10-13 mpg
I own the same jeep as the OP (2001 60th anniversary edition) so I'm curious too now. Only running 31's with no lifts ect.
Only time i saw numbers that high was using ethanol free fuel across the Mojave and great plains
I will try the instructions at begining of thread and see what happens. We may have the best news in town.
what is clearing adaptive memory? where did you her of this and what does it do to the jeeps computer? wont' connecting both terminals together hurt the system . sorry for so many questions but am interested in this thread.
I tracked the original thread down and nobody else really claimed any gains
I know I ran 5 gallons down, only after I filled it up. I drove for 100 miles and filled it.
Thanks for the refresh on the adaptive memory.
I am running 30" tires.
My speedo is off by 2.5 mph. when I am going 67.5 on the speedo I am going 65 on the radar signs and the gps.
would that mean I got better gas mileage? Probably.
I had to read up on the adaptive memory and it had <I'm assuming> 10 years worth in it.
The gas was a 10% ethanol blend.
When I bought the jeep I was getting 13 mpg.
I did the usual tune up stuff, plugs, rail, filters, alignment, and gained about 3 mpg.
I live in wisconsin and the winters are brutal on gas mileage, now it has warmed up and I am almost certain that has a ton to do with it also.
I hurt nothing when I touched the terminals together. no sparks, no complete circuit.
Good luck guys.
I'm listening in..
just like this
sorry I was so vague, I had to get to work.
I replaced the spark plugs, plain old autolite plugs, gapped to .035, or whatever the spec in the book says.
I replaced the spark plug rail, no wires on this model.
I replaced the old air filter with a K&N stock replacement model.
I replaced the tranny filter and fluid.
made sure it was aligned properly at a shop. <has lifetime alignment from tires plus> <<good package to invest in with these beasts>>
Had them re-balance all 4 wheels, <another lifetime balance and rotate deal that is worth its weight in gold.>
New brakes in the front.
New radiator, thermostat, waterpump.
New shocks all the way around.
Took off the hard top and went soft top.
Used premium gasoline, 10% ethanol.
here is what I did with the battery.
1. Disconnected the + battery terminal and touched it to the - battery terminal. let it hang after that.
2. Turned the key to the run position, with the + terminal still off.
3. Turned the lights on.
4. Turned the lights off.
5. Turned the ignition off. <took the key out>
6. Re-connected the + battery terminal.
7. started the Jeep and drove it gently making sure the temp. got up to at least the first hash mark on every drive.
8. Repeated this 50 times for about 200 miles.
Gold Miner, yes, Just like that! Lmfao!
yes, when I got the Jeep with 85000 miles on it, I was getting close to 13 mpg average, city and highway driving.
taking 2 kids to school in the morning, picking them up in the afternoon, all city.
Then going to work and back during the night. All highway.
good work. i'll second the OP's experience getting these kind of fuel economy numbers. last summer, with the hard top off, on several 60 mph (never over 65 mph) highway jaunts i saw 20-21 mpg with my 100% bone stock TJ. I did over-inflate the tires to 32 psi (29 is recommended). the worst all-highway MPG i ever got with this Jeep is 18.5 and i attributed that to going 65-68 mph on that trip.
"Used premium gasoline, 10% ethanol"
Note this does nothing for you except waste money. Read up on octane level and what it means. The TJ motor only requires regular. Octane is a measurement of resistance to ignition and is only necessary to prevent detonation and preignition. Higher octane gasoline is harder to burn and can actually hurt mpg a little.
Confused....If the POS is just hanging there and NOT connected then what is the point of turning lights on and off????? There is no circuit.
Is it like put your left leg in, put your left leg out-shake it all about?????
Just disconnecting the battery - on start up it starts and runs normal
Turning the key and holding 30-45 seconds - on start up it takes longer to fire and runs rough for a for 30 seconds or so

Doing that 50 times? Who the hell has that kind if time?
I find it very hard to believe that you are getting 20mpg, I just don't see how at all. I can understand 18ish if you only drive on the highway....20 idk
Repeated this 50 times for about 200 miles.
So you did this about every 4 miles on average?
im not bashing but i think this is lil far fetched, and if you calculated your milage during this every 4 miles stop its not going to be good reading, need to measure it over few tanks to see consistant readings
I was doing some research on my 42 rle about a year ago and stumbled on to something like this. It was supposed to help the transmission shift better by learning your driving style. I tried it. It still shifted too early and my mpg is still around 13. But I didn't do it 50 times either. By only filling up with 5 gallons, he is not getting an accurate reading. How many times have you tried to totally fill up your jeep and the pump cut off, but your were able to squeeze another couple gallons in it? If you add another gallon to his 100 miles, now your only getting 16 mpg.
I too am highly skeptical of this whole idea.. Manually fooling the computer to do what? Run the engine leaner? If that's the case it would loose a lot of torque and HP.. Everytime you have a headwind, or slight grade, you would be downshifting and loosing any gains in MPG.. The trucking industry learned this long ago.. These motors are governed, but they stopped cutting back HP and torque a decade ago. With Old school thinking they believed turning them back would save fuel, just the opposite happened, weaker engines under load burn more fuel.,. Try dragging a trailer with the 2.5 litre motor,, lots of driving time in 3rd and 4th gear equals very poor MPGs .... Even if this procedure worked, which I doubt, there would be no real world benefit.,

MacGregor 22: Rocinante
My first boat was an '83 MacGregor 22 and I had a lot of fun with it. Rigging gets expensive. What is this "right price" if I might ask? The book on it isn't worth all that much. I think mine was only insured for 2 1/2K. Nevertheless, a sturdy little boat. I had it out in all weather all the time. I'd still be sailing it if I hadn't sunk it (no fault of the boat- I had no engine and ran her into the rocks in 8 footers). Loved that boat. I recommend redoing all the rigging anyway as I found it awkward. I don't think I had an original piece of hardware at the end.
|As a former owner of a Macgregor 25, I suggest checking the trailer suspension for rust and bad tires, the centerboard trunk and pivot for cracks and rust, and the clevis pins in the rigging for wear. Otherwise, you get what you pay for.
Take a good hard look in and out of the water. List everything you would NEED to do (not want to do) to make the boat safely sailable. Price out those items. Multiply by two. Add to purchase price.
Still a good deal? Go for it.
Macgregor 22 purchase
Greetings all:
I am now living in the Port Washington area of Long Island and had to leave my boat back in TX.
I took a look at a macgregor 22 recently and well the price is right.
the good:
the price, the outboard is old but well maintained, trailer included (everything titled), both main and jib about a year old and look pretty good, rolling furler is simple and in working order, deck hardware old but functioning
the bad:
as it is a 72 she is not the prettiest gal out there, it has been in the water for a year (winter included) so there is some expected slime buildup, brite work and rigging need some love.
the ugly:
definitely concerns with the standing rigging, the crank and cable to adjust the keel are ready to be replaced, couldnt give it the
my question for all is: anything else about this i should take an extra look at before pulling the trigger? any gotchas or experience with this model?
thanks as always!

The Great American Bank Robbery
The following is Part I of a two-part excerpt from Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy by Joseph Stiglitz ( W.W. Norton & Co., 2010). Read AlterNet'srecent interview with Stiglitz by Zach Carter.
Bankruptcy is a key feature of capitalism. Firms sometimes are unable to repay what they owe creditors. Financial reorganization has become a fact of life in many industries. The
The Obama administration has argued that the big banks are not only too big to fail but also too big to be financially restructured (or, as I refer to it later, "too big to be resolved"), too big to play by the ordinary rules of capitalism. Being too big to be financially restructured means that if the bank is on the brink of failure, there is but one source of money: the taxpayer. And under this novel and unproven doctrine, hundreds of billions have been poured into the financial system.
If it is true that
There are those who believe that it is better to take one's medicine and be done with it, that a slow unwinding of the excesses would last years longer, with even greater costs. Perhaps, on the other hand, the slow recapitalization of the banks would have occurred faster than the losses would have become apparent. In this view, papering over the losses with dishonest accounting (as in this crisis, as well as in the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s) would be doing more than just providing symptomatic relief. Lowering the fever may actually help in the recovery. A third view holds that Lehman's collapse actually saved the entire financial system: without it, it would have been difficult to galvanize the political support required to bail out the banks. (It was hard enough to do so after its collapse.)

Yeah, the inconsistency is really the odd thing here. Although it doesn't idle more than it idles. For example, when I took it to the dealership this morning it started and ran perfectly. Didn't die or idle surge once in the 30 minute trip. Then, on my way home from the dealership I couldn't keep it running. I've run a nice snapon smoke machine on it and there are no leaks. I just visually inspected that hose and it looks new (the car has 40k miles on it). I'm pretty sure it's something up with the tune but I really can't get a feel until I get me AFR's (wide band on the way). It idles bad enough that it would have to be a major leak; that would certainly have shown up under smoke.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: A study was performed to further characterize the pig epiblast-derived liver stem cell-like PICM-19 cell line. PICM-19 cells displayed in vitro ultrastructure, enzymatic, and transport characteristics typical of hepatocytes and bile duct epithelium. The PICM-19 cells contained large oval nuclei, numerous mitochondria with flat cristae, extensive rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Goloi complex, lipid vacuoles, and glycogen granules. Biliary canaliculi with intraluminal projecting microvilli were delimited by the junctional apparatuses between adjacent PICM-19 cells. The PICM-19 cells rapidly transported fluorescein into their biliary canaliculi from the extracellular environment. PICM-19 cells that had differentiated into multicellular ductal structures showed high gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity at their apical surfaces by histo- chemical staining. PICM-19 soluble GGT activity was high, and inducible P450 activity, measured by two independent assays, was nearly equivalent to primary cultures of adult pig hepatocytes. The data support the hypothesis that the PICM-19 cell line is an in vitro equivalent of liver stem cells.

Denmark should build on the strengths of its vocational and educational training programme to ensure that young people enter the labour market with the skills companies need and to meet the national goal of having 60% of young people enter higher education by 2020, according to a new OECD report.

Rural communities in many countries are faced with the need to restructure their school networks and close some smaller facilities. Óbidos, a town in western Portugal, provides a case study of how to meet these challenges by creating new school complexes that offer improved educational opportunities to the teaching staff, students and local people.
Simple fact: older workers are leaving the labour force earlier than they did in the 60s and 70s. The retirement age declined steadily across OECD countries from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Over the past decade this drop has levelled off, with some countries experiencing a slight upturn. Despite this, apart from Japan and Korea, it is still significantly lower than in the 1960s and 1970s.
Today, global companies are fascinated by the prospect of what the World Economic Forum calls 'the next billion' – the future consumers of the developing world whose income is rising from around $2 a day to between $5 and $7 a day.
The OECD has launched its Skills Strategy to help governments build economic resilience, boost employment and reinforce social cohesion. Despite the pressure on public finances, spending on education and skills is an investment for the future and must be a priority.
"The OECD Skills Strategy is designed to help countries build better skills policies and turn them into jobs, growth, and better lives." - Mr. Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD
While a number of single-country studies have been done to explore whether or not there is a "critical age" at which the arrival in a new country becomes a steep disadvantage to the immigrant student, this study aims to determine whether the steepness of the age-at-arrival/test score profile varies across origin or destination countries. As expected, the later the arrival, the greater the penalty. However results vary according to
Without adequate investment in skills, people languish on the margins of society, technological progress does not translate into inclusive economic growth, and countries can no longer compete in an increasingly knowledge-based global society, said OECD Secretary-General.

José L. Banda
José L. Banda was appointed Superintendent of the Sacramento City Unified School District on July 17, 2014. As SCUSD's top administrator, Mr. Banda leads one of the oldest public school districts in California with 77 schools, 43,000 students and 4,200 employees.
Prior to his appointment, Mr. Banda served as Superintendent of Seattle Public Schools, Washington state's largest K-12 district. Under his leadership, the district created a new five-year strategic plan called "Every Student. Every Classroom. Every Day." The plan was created with extensive community engagement, including a 70-person task force.
During his first year as Superintendent, Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved an operations levy and a capital levy – totaling more than $1 billion – to help build and remodel schools to meet the continued growth of the District.
Before Seattle, Mr. Banda spent four years as Superintendent of the 20,000-student Anaheim City School District.
During this time, the District saw increased student achievement for all students, including English Language Learners. In addition, the district narrowed the achievement gap and 19 of 24 schools met their school-wide Academic Performance Index (API).
Under Mr. Banda's direction, the District created a focused approach to instruction, assessment and interventions, while at the same time maintained fiscal solvency during one of the worst economic crises in California's history.
Mr. Banda also developed strong relationships with the business community, city government and service organizations, as evidenced by an innovative math partnership with the MIND Institute and the successful passage of a $170 million construction bond in 2010.
Mr. Banda spent 13 years as a secondary administrator, including eight years as a high school principal before becoming the Superintendent of the Planada School District from 2002-2005.
Before Anaheim, Mr. Banda was the Deputy Superintendent at Oceanside Unified School District. He has also served as a high school counselor, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources and board member for Salida Union School District. He brings over 30 years of experience in the field of education.
Mr. Banda is fluent in Spanish and holds a Bachelor of Arts from California State University in Bakersfield and a master's in Educational Leadership from Chapman University.

Popular Teas from Mark T. WendellSee All 67 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
If you brew this tea long and hot enough, about 4 minutes at 200 degrees, you get some great, sweet notes in the back of your throat. It has a great mouthfeel, a bit astringent, and is quite sweet and floral in its aroma. I enjoy it very much.
Sturdy but smooth today! See previous notes…
I have been lucky to have this once or twice at a friend's house and found it to be a really nice tea. I don't much about the South Indian teas, but to me it tasted wonderfully smooth and definitely "Sturdy" as you noted. Brings back good memories! :)
Tried a Nilgiri Tea years ago and didn't care for it—too lemony for me. I'd try a sample (possibly) just to see how I like it. My tastes have changed since I cupped that tea so long ago
Thanks again to Geoffrey for sending me some of this tea.
I really do love this tea. It has a beautiful flavor – very rich and flavorful. I love the warm spicy undertones and the hint of sweetness that hits around mid-sip. It is not quite as bold as an authentic Keemun, but, that's OK… sometimes different is good, and in this case that's very true. A very pleasant, deep, complex flavor that I'm enjoying immensely.
I have Geoffrey Norman to thank for sending me this tea. Thanks!
This tea confuses me! The appearance of the dry leaves remind me of a Formosa Oolong, and even the brewed liquor smells like a Formosa Oolong. And it tastes more like an Oolong to me than a typical Keemun.
Nevertheless, I am liking it! It has a warm taste to it – not just temperature, but a subtle spicy undertone – and a pleasant smoothness. No bitter taste and very little (as in practically no) astringency. A very pleasant cup.
I think I want to try this one again before I start rating it.
Finishing off the last of these pearls this evening. I do love Jasmine Pearls!
Here's my full-length review of it, written some time ago but my feelings for this tea haven't changed: http://www.teareviewblog.com/?p=17616
This smells a little herbally but it seems to have a SMIDGE of berry aroma hiding somewhere, too. The spices are very subtle…very light. Once infused I can smell the lemongrass and the spice is just underneath the lemon-aroma. The taste is very different…there is a cinnamon powder type taste paired with the lemongrass on the tongue and that's on top of the stereotypical green bean or fresh pea type taste I have been associating with Guayusa. Not bad. Very different from what I expected…but not bad at all!
Yet another surprise! Just when I think I can predict a flavor of a tea – I am dead wrong – but in cases like this – I LIKE THIS! I LIKE being WRONG! :)
This has a very masculine black tea aroma and taste. It's very rich and bold. It has hints of pepper and earthiness to it. An even smaller hint of smoke, too.
I really like this because of how different it ended up being! YUM!
See how my tastes have changed for this gem!
upping rating…
I just received a HUGE box from Mark T Wendell from UPS and I'm jumping right in!!!!
This is surely Vanilla flavored black, indeed! The aroma is intense and the black tea and vanilla flavoring (to taste) is about medium strength in each area.
Overall this is an enjoying cuppa! I'm not a vanilla freak so maybe if you are you will find this to be just what you are looking for! As for an outsider looking in – I did want to try it to compare notes! This is very nice! And that's coming from someone 'middle of the road' in the liking-vanilla world, so to speak! :)

A second rank symmetric tensor which describes the degree of orientation in orthotropic materials is presented and shown to reflect accurately patterns of experimental data. The use of this tensor to describe microstructural anisotropy is compared to currently accepted methods and is found to be more useful and accurate in experimental studies. A method for determining the anisotropy tensor in a material is given, based on measurements on any three mutually perpendicular planes, and the fundamental restriction of this method to orthotropic materials is discussed. Experimentally determined anisotropy tensors in five specimens of cancellous bone from five different human bones are given.

Re: Unvented cathedral ceilings
I live in the Pacific NW. We have a 3:12 pitch roof with archies, installed about 9 years ago. The roof has been a headache ever since with numerous leaks. The roofing company seems ready to replace the roof and install an I&W membrane over all the sheathing before putting down the shingles. The issue is that several roofs have cathedral ceilings and no venting. They will not offer us a warranty on the new roof without the vents.
The older cathedral ceilings (1928 house) have an insulation-filled cavity (no room for airflow) between the sheathing and the ceiling (2x4 joists). The other cathedral ceiling is newer (1970's addition) and the joists are 2x6 or 2x8, also filled with insulation and no room for airflow. Almost everyone I talk to says that we have to find a way to vent these ceilings, though I have run across some evidence to the counter (on this site, for example). After all, there are many older homes, still standing, that have never been vented.
Solutions presented to me range from raising the roof 1" to 2" inches, to lowering the ceilings, to compressing the insulation an inch, to installing baffles. We have not, to my knowledge, had issues with condensation, but will only know after the sheathing comes up.
Curious what sort of feedback I might get here?
Consider SIP roofing panels.
Google it.
Failed to get back to you on SIP roofing panels. Very cool idea. Amazing R values! Unfortunately, for me personally, way too expensive right now.
Find your Zone;http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic..._11_par002.htm
Then add the rigid to prevent condensation; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...rchterm=attic+
Good read; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...r-all-climates
Re: Conditioned Attics
This was a great reply. I did not know about the option of a "hot roof" or an unvented attic assembly. I was just assuming that vents would absolutely be necessary.
The zone I'm in is 4C. I haven't had a chance to look into it yet, but one of my cathedral ceilings is only 3.5" between drywall and roof sheathing, i.e., a 2x4"
Nevertheless it might be the way to go even if I have to sacrifice some R-value.
Thanks again for posting!
I'd consider a ventilated nail base, such as http://www.atlasroofing.com/tabbed.php?section_url=51
These can also be made onsite with board insulation, strapping, and OSB. You could probably skip the OSB if you want to install metal roofing.
Personally I think ventilation is a best practice kind of thing, and hot roofs are favoured because they are a simpler (aka cheaper) fix. I think they are better on paper than in the real world, as a system with ventilation can deal with moisture/heat issues much better.
Thanks for posting. So this option would also necessitate soffit and ridge/roof vents, no?
What do you think of this:
For the most part, the focus of codes, researchers, designers, and builders on roof ventilation is misplaced. Instead, the focus should be on building an airtight ceiling, which is far more important than roof ventilation in all climates and all seasons. ... Once this is accomplished, roof ventilation becomes pretty much a nonissue. ~building scientist Bill Rose
A related article by him:
There are hundreds of unvented roofs here, locally, still standing, lol. I have used that link here before, it depends on local weather, air-sealing the attic, interior RH, diffusion (slightly), insulation, etc. Other links; (up-dated version) http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/pdf2002/rose02a.pdf

Argonaut Capital Management is a hedge fund manager based in New York that offers investment vehicles using global macro and long/short equity investing strategies. Argonaut was founded in August 1993 by David Gerstenhaber, the firm's President and Portfolio Manager. It was one of the first Tiger Cubs.
The flagship fund was up 0.1% for the month of March. As we noted last month, the fund appreciated 0.3% for February.
The biggest gainers were short positions in U.S. interest rates and a long position in U.S. equity markets. In addition, the fund's short position in the yen and the long position in Japanese equities helped contribute to the positive returns.
Gerstenhaber sees the global economy is in a period of transition, with the markets are only slowly adapting to these changes. The US should have modest growth but there are headwinds. The fund manager notes the upcoming 'financial cliff' as cuts and tax raises could cause the economy to contract by more than $600 billion (or 3% of GDP).
China should grow but its rate of growth will slow as will their stature in the world economy.
The fund is even more bearish on Europe than it was last month. Recent economic data suggests that the Eurozone recession has deepened, with France being a particular concern. They think it is only a matter of time until outside assistance from Spain's Eurozone partners is required.
Upcoming elections in France, Greece, regional elections in Germany, and the
upcoming referendum in Ireland all have the potential to unleash nasty surprises on the market if anti-European political parties outperform expectations. In Greece this has the greatest possibility of occurring.

congrats on the new sig.... now do the first cleaning BEFORE you take it to the range and follow the break in procedures described in the manual (if any)
you are going to read the manual first, right? right? i mean really read it right?
I won a GB auction for a p229 enhanced elite 9mm. I really like the look of the stainless elites better, but I have smaller hands and the E2 grip on the EE just feels SOOOO much better. The gun should get to my FFL Wed or Thur so hopefully I have time to take it to the range and give it a good break in with a few hundred rounds and a thorough cleaning after. I am taking the MN CCW class on Friday and hope to use the sig, but if I don't feel comfortable with it yet I'll just use my FNP 45.
Any recommendations for first cleaning and break in procedures? Anything special to watch out for?
congrats on the new sig.... now do the first cleaning BEFORE you take it to the range and follow the break in procedures described in the manual (if any)
you are going to read the manual first, right? right? i mean really read it right?
cover to cover. word for word.
and just to give you a head start...... here is the pdf of your manual.... all other sig manuals can be found on their web site too.
Thanks TedDebear, just finished reading it!
As far as cleaners and oil, I use Hoppes Elite for my FNP, and I'm guessing these should be fine for the 229 as well.
Can't wait, it ships tomorrow and should be here in a couple days!!!
SIG's like to be "wet" (well lubed) I use MIL-COMM TW25B on the rails and slide areas.
Here is a good site about lubing your SIG. : Lubrication of Sig Sauer pistol rails « Will Work For Ammo – Apex Tactical Specialties
I have read that many use Mobil 1 synthetic grease in place of gun grease...
Have fun and shoot straight!
Well, my sig got to my FFL today, unfortunately he wasn't home to sign for it so I have to wait until tomorrow
Brought by Sig home today from the FFL and gave it a good cleaning and lube. Not much (any really) packing grease inside the mags or in the pistol itself. Everything looked good though and I can see that it is actually NiB (bought it through gun broker). My only concern is that it didn't come with the spent shell casing from how it was test fired at the factory. It isn't needed in my state, but I thought all handguns came with one now. Only problem I have with not having the case is that I don't know exactly when the gun was made. Should I contact Sig about this or the dealer I bought the gun through on GB?
Can't wait to get out and shoot it!!!
Give us a range report after you shoot it. Been looking at one in LGS and am interested.

Alabama A-Day and the Unveiling of the Nick Saban Statue
Alabama had their A-Day yesterday. The offense was underwhelming as the Tide are trying to break in two quarterbacks (A.J. McCarron and Phillip Sims) that aren't up to the starting quarterback level yet. At least, not what Bama fans have been used to in the past few years anyway. This is not a situation that will be settled by game one of the regular season.
McCarron was 21/38 for 222 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. He also lost a fumble. Sims threw for 229 yards and 1 INT on 19/38 passing. McCarron and Sims played for both teams in the spring game. However, Sims is getting the edge from me. McCarron's lost fumble on the 1 yard line was huge as Mark Barron returned it 96 yards for a TD. McCarron's TD pass to Trent Richardson (who is definitely the go-to guy this year) got him back to even scoring wise. On Sims' drives, his side scored 10 points. The difference becomes marked when we go to the Positive Impact Factor. McCarron turned in a PIF of 14.2 while Sims had a 39.5. Digging further we find that McCarron threw an incompletion, was sacked, or fumbled on 58.3% of his touches. Sims had such plays occur on 50% of his touches.
To commemorate their 2009 BCS championship, Alabama also unveiled their Nick Saban statue in the Walk of Champions. It was kind of a big deal as you can see from the news clip above. The statue stands nine feet tall, which is only a *little* larger than life size. The crowd that turned out (92,310) was a new record.

Trent Bridge 'Blotter' Mops Meadow Lane
Notts County expect their Coca Cola League Two fixture against Barnet to go ahead tomorrow after gallons of surface water were pumped from the Meadow Lane pitch by Trent Bridge ground staff.
Nottinghamshire's 'Blotter' is a familiar site to cricket supporters, and has been in action at Meadow Lane throughout the day.
"The Cricket Club have been fantastic; we would like to go on record with our thanks for their help," said Notts County's groundsman Trevor Hutchinson.
"There was a lot of surface water when we arrived this morning which is understandable given the amount of snow we had last week.
"It's heartening that the clubs can pull together at times like this. We have a good relationship with the boys over at Trent Bridge and they've certainly made life a little bit easier for us."

Attorney General William Sorrell wants businesses to be on the alert for a scam that has begun to emerge in Vermont and nationally has cost thousands of businesses millions of dollars and resulted in security breaches. It involves an email "spoofing" or pretending to be from the business's CEO to an employee, requesting the employee to wire funds, supply sensitive information, or attach employee W-2 forms.
The email might request the information as soon as possible or otherwise impart a sense of urgency. Unlike many phishing emails, which often contain grammatical errors or strange usages, the fraudsters crafting these emails may be more sophisticated, and the emails often look legitimate.
The scam plays on employees' desire to provide quick responses to their bosses – this good work ethic can lead to disastrous results. This being tax season, some scammers are using the scam to acquire employee tax information in order to commit ID theft and submit fake tax refunds requests.
While this scam can be difficult to avoid, best practices include a blanket policy against transmitting any sensitive information (e.g., passwords, financial data, social security numbers, tax information) via regular email, which has several security weaknesses. Additionally, any request for such information should be followed up by a telephone confirmation or email confirmation by a new email (not a "reply") that the request is legitimate.
More information about Sorrell's efforts to protect consumers and address data breaches can be found at http://ago.vermont.gov/focus/consumer-info/privacy-and-data-security1.php. Or contact Ryan Kriger, Assistant Attorney General, at 802-828-3170.

Continuing our discussion of the year's most interesting lenses, let's revisit those exciting announcements as they pertain to digital SLRs. In 2008 we had PMA, Photokina and PhotoPlus - the trifecta of photographic expositions. These shows brought forth a plethora of delectable tools for both the serious and budding photographer. The following overview is in reverse-alphabetical order (as a change) so we begin with Sony.
Sony has cemented itself in a solid third place among the top SLR manufacturers – the release of four cameras this year helped quite a bit. For novices, the A200 is a 10.2 megapixel offering for the entry-level marketplace featuring an image stabilized CCD sensor, 3 fps shooting speed and a 2.7" rear screen - all big improvements over the A100.
The A300 & A350 were simultaneously announced and are pretty much the same camera with a couple of notable exceptions. They both share the same live view capable sensor enhanced with a "quick AF View" that provides faster live view focusing speed. It does so by incorporating two focusing sensors into the camera so there is no focusing delay when the mirror is raised. Differences between the models include a 10.2 megapixel sensor in the A300 and a 14.2 in the A350. Furthermore, the A350 captures at 2.5 fps while the A300 does 3 fps. Both cameras are excellent choices for mid-level photographers seeking a full optical system with a range of available accessories.
Sony's new flagship, the A900 didn't surprise anyone when it came out; they had announced its development and displayed a prototype more than a year earlier. The 24.6 megapixel powerhouse gets Sony into the current "full-frame club" who's membership for quite some time only consisted of Canon. Beyond the hefty CMOS sensor, the A900 stays consistent with the Sony line by having image stabilization on the sensor; but branches upwards with a 100% viewfinder, 5 fps shooting speed, adjustable dynamic range, HDMI output, interchangeable focusing screens and a magnesium alloy body with weatherproofing. This camera was designed to compete with the big boys. With an ever-growing library of pro-level Carl Zeiss lenses in Sony mount, the A900 gives users of the A200, A300 and A350, something to grow into.
The Sigma Corporation has shown a strong commitment to the Foveon sensor by purchasing the chip developer. This is good news following the recent passing of Richard Merrill, co-inventor of the Foveon chip. This move will ensure that the Foveon design has a stable future in the photographic marketplace. For those who prefer the results from a tri-layer sensor not following the standard Bayer pattern, Sigma's latest Foveon X3-based SLR is this year's SD15. It is a 14 megapixel camera designed for advanced amateurs or aspiring professionals who seek a unique color palette to express their vision. The Foveon sensor differs from the rest by capturing all three primary colors at each photosite as opposed to CCD and CMOS chips that record one color at a time and blend the colors during processing. The X3 sensor is backed by a faster processing engine, and a large 3" LCD screen. Another change is that the camera will now utilize SD cards.
Continuing a line of SLRs via a partnership with Pentax, this year Samsung unveiled the 15.1 megapixel GX-20. Not surprisingly it is similar to the Pentax K20D discussed later on in this article. So to bypass the redundancy, let's mention the differing points beyond the name printed on the body. The interface and button somewhat design differ between the two, so it may have a different tactile response. Also, the camera's menu and accompanying software, including a RAW conversion application, are vastly different than the Pentax version. Its most attractive point is that the GX-20 is accompanied by a series of Schneider-designed lenses that may be utilized in addition to the Pentax K-mount library.
This year, two is the magic number for Pentax. There has been a change in the line-up with the release of the K2000, K20D, and K200D. The digit update was much more than a nomenclature tweak, these cameras were given a major revamp. The 14.6 megapixel K20D introduced live-view and a large 2.7" LCD to the line, and the sensor was designed in conjunction with Samsung to have a broader dynamic range than its predecessor.
The K200D, fills in the hobbyist photographer's need with a 10.2 megapixel camera featuring CCD-shake dust reduction, and a wide dynamic range - two things the K100D was lacking. It is more durable than most cameras in its genre with a steel chassis and weather-seals aplenty.
For those upgrading from a point and shoot or who are using an SLR for the very first time, the K2000 gives a nod to the sorely-missed Pentax K1000 film camera so many veteran shooters took their first photography class with. Of course, only the name and target audience descend from the K1000 to the K2000 as a lot has changed since 1976. The K2000 is a simple and easy to use digital SLR that is a great starting point for entry into the substantial Pentax K-mount library.
The first production micro four-thirds camera, The Lumix G1, heralds a new dawn in digital photography and may create a new class of photographer. From 'ye olde' film days, shooters looking for compact system cameras had a limited number of choices: half-frame 35mm SLR, rangefinders, Minox, Minolta and other subminis, as well as the Pentax Auto 110 to name a few. They were offered to balance the need for professional control without the bulk or obtrusiveness of a 35mm or larger camera body. Now, the interchangeable lens Lumix G1 has the potential to fill this niche not currently being met by any other camera system. It is sure to be the first of a new generation of gap-bridging cameras.
Most of us are anxiously anticipating the arrival of Olympus' micro four-thirds camera, but their "full-sized" offerings should not be ignored. The E-520 and E-420 are refreshes to their entry-level compact SLR lineup. Inside the E-420 is a 10 megapixel, image-stabilized shifting sensor with autofocus live view that displays on a 2.7" LCD. The E-520 is the "big brother" with step-up features that provide more customization and function controls that an aspiring photographer can utilize. Tools like a wireless flash triggering system, RAW file format, Shadow Adjustment Technology (a dynamic range boost) add to the lifespan of this camera.
The E-30 is the Olympus answer to the growing advanced amateur, experimenting, travelling, sharing consumer market. With specs like a 12 megapixel dust-reduction sensor, sensor shift IS and 5 fps shooting speed, it's a great foundation for a semi-pro camera. The swiveling LCD gives travelers who need to conserve battery-life or are concerned with damage, the option to tuck-away the display when it is not wanted or needed. This is a often-requested feature most pro and amateur SLRs lack. For the creative-types, preset "art filters" aid in accomplishing more in-camera and reducing time spent retouching at a computer.
This year Nikon has been an exciting one for Nikonians. Three camera bodies have been introduced that have revolutionized their respective markets. The year began with the D60 for the entry-level user that upgraded the D40x with dust-reduction on the sensor, D-Lighting, and a pretty nifty stop-motion mode.
The year also brought out Nikon's answer to the "compact professional" camera market with the very popular D700. This body features a full-frame 12.1 megapixel sensor and shares most of the features of its big brother the D3. Improving on what the D3 lacks is an incorporated sensor cleaning mechanism which the D700 has along with a pop-up flash, live view, and an optional grip that boosts frame rate to a max of 8 fps over the stock 5 fps.
Lastly, the D90 was the biggest surprise, replacing the D80 as the "blogger"/advanced hobbyist camera. The most outstanding features of the 12.3 megapixel D90 are its much-discussed 720p HD video recording and an optional GPS receiver from Nikon. This is a camera that is designed to become the frequent traveler's favorite accessory.
The most recent medium format digital from Mamiya, the DL28, provides studio and commercial shooters with a relatively low-cost 28 megapixel capture device. Demanding pros will be more than satisfied with its 16-bit captures and 12-stop dynamic range. For those just getting their start in this level of photography, the Mamiya system offers a wide variety of current and past generation lenses and accessories to build from. As an added bonus, by using an optional lens mount adapter, Hasselblad V-series lenses can be utilized by this camera. One shouldn't disregard the 80mm f/2.8 Sekor AF lens that the kit comes with as it optimized for digital backs. At its core the DL28 is a 645 medium format camera that can accept both digital and film backs – a kind of versatility that is very useful in this era.
Leica overshadowed the M8.2 upgrade to the M8 digital rangefinder (that included the addition of a scratch-resistant sapphire coated display and quieter shutter) by announcing the S2. Some of you might remember its precursor, the S1 scan camera from 1998. Ten years later the S2 looks nothing like the steering-wheel inspired design of its predecessor, and takes on a more familiar and portable form factor. The S2 is built around a beefy 35mm-esque SLR chassis while housing a near-medium format sensor size. This is a drastic departure from the design of modern medium format film and digital bodies with modular backs.
The S2's sensor size is a bit more than double that of a full frame/35mm sensor, and measures 30x45mm while producing a 37.5 megapixel image. A dual-shutter system, popularized by the classic Anniversary Graphic film camera, allows for shutters to exist in either the lens (leaf) or on the focal plane. This facilitates the use of a high-speed flash sync when needed. Pretty heavy-duty device, but competitively priced for those who shoot with medium format digital systems.
The Hassy squad has issued a challenge to other systematic digital back builders with the latest incarnation, the H3DII-50 built around a 50 megapixel Kodak designed sensor. The 48x36mm sensor has twice the surface area of full-frame sensors and the camera body itself was built to accommodate the Hasselblad HTS 1.5 tilt/shift adapter. This adapter allows mounted lenses to move up/down or left/right in order to allow for perspective control. This is a feature that is missing from most medium format film/digital cameras. The H3DII-50's sensor itself is not just larger, but has received a few refinements that allow for faster capture and dump speeds while reducing power consumption when shooting off battery power. We have come a long way from using slow and ungainly tethered backs for this type of high-resolution digital image capture.
Rebel fans have two reasons to cheer; Canon released the XS and XSi to cater to the entry-level digital photographer. Both of these cameras are quite similar with a few important differences. The XS features a 10 megapixel, live view capable, self-cleaning CMOS sensor, a 7-point AF sensor, 2.5" display and 1.5/3.0 fps (RAW/JPEG) capture speed.
The XSi bumps up to 12 megapixels, 9 AF points, speed boost to 3.5 fps, a larger buffer for JPEG or RAW bursts, spot meter, and a larger 3" display. The XSi also features a 14-bit A/D converter that processes a wider range of colors with technology shared with the more professional Canon line.
Moving up Canon's line, the new 50D shares a lot of cool tech from Canon's current lineup. What is new from the old 40D is a 15 megapixel CMOS, 3" screen, live view with AF options, ISO boost to 12,800 and a HDMI out for tethered viewing on a large screen. Out of the box, the camera can zip through 6.3 fps and is much more durable with magnesium construction and water-resistant seals.
But the real excitement from Canon's releases this year came via the full-frame, 21.1 megapixel EOS 5D II that not only has live view, but piggybacking on that technology, it sports a 1080/30 fps HD video recording feature. Many filmmakers recording either on film or digital, are hampered by a smaller surface area at the film plane and a limited selection of glass. Thus capturing video with the 'good-bokeh' and varying perspectives many of us still-shooters take for granted is often hindered by the native format of the movie camera. The 5D has no such restriction and we can expect to see footage, published everywhere from YouTube to the movie theaters, that are more "photographic" and unlike much of what has been filmed before.
Overall, this was a really dramatic year for digital SLR releases. Many of the announced cameras broke new ground with technologies like HD video recording in the D90 and 5DII. Other releases were departures from what came before. An example of which is the Leica S2; no one could have predicted that the company that popularized 35mm film would ever consider any other format. Another format announced, micro four-thirds, promises to develop a whole new camera breed. So to sum up the year, I think that the term "radical change" easily applies and 2008 has certainly been a milestone in the ongoing development of digital photography.

I have a love/hate relationship with Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room, and I'm currently in love. Blissful, British-y love.
This tidy little pub and dining room set on prime World Showcase Lagoon real estate really does approximate a pub you'd find in the UK today. Although I'm not sure they have pub quizzes…which they should have. Does anyone know if the Rose and Crown has pub quizzes?
The site is split between the pub, which sits on the street-side of the building, and the dining room, which sits on the lagoon side of the building. The two have separate entrances; to head into the pub, use one of the front doors on the street-side of the building. To check-in for a [Read more…]

I had a Set of undished Jangostlye Plates lying around some time and wondered - "What am i gonna do next?"
But what? I already have a custom Mandalorian Armor and a TCW-Deatwatch Armor... So i thought i gonna challenge myself and do something Canon.
A Boba or Jango would be challenging, Ok. But on nearly every troop i bump into atleast 2 or 3 Bobas or Jangos (or more). So you might get the Idea that it could get boring being just another Boba in the Fett-Realm. (Besides, according to my Pals in the 501th a screenaccurate boba might be abit too expensive for "just a little sideproject" )
After watching through all those canon guys that atleast got themselves an actionfigure i finally decided myself for Jaster Mereel -> the "TRUEST" Mandalorian from all of them.
But the TRUEST Mandalorian deserves only the Power of TRUE ******* METAL!
So the Aim:
Making on of the TRUEST - Mereel Beskar'gam out there; this means:
Avoiding artificial Materials (Plastic, fiber, or pleather etc.) when i can and go fore a more realistic. So i intend to use metal and realleather.
The Jaster in the Comic-book always changes from Panell to Panell and the Actionfigure can be roughly described as an colorchanged Jango with diffrent Head and Belt - So i Aim for a Compromise between all given sources.
What i got so far:
In my Opinion Jasters Flightsuit is more olive then grey. So i go for a stonewashed Tank-overall in the official color "Steingrau/Oliv" (Stonegrey-olive).
The good thing on that overall is: The fed. german Army has more than 40 diffrent sizes for every bodytype. -> so it suits perfectly XD
For the Cape i found a red heavy curtain-cloth in the obligatory fabric remnant-box
For the Vest i got myself a darkgreen/grey realleather (4mm thick) but when i looked at a odd lot of a local Army-store i found that:
A Submarine-Leatherjacket for 15€
So i went lazy and just gonna cut those Arms a bit. Due its a Navy-jacket the turned up neck goes nearly over the ears -> Neckseal question: solved.
The Belt might be the complexest Part of the whole 'gam - so its stll not finished over this Point
I wanted to give the belt a more venturous look like that of a traveling man that lives hand-to-mouth and picks up the gear were it fells of - instead of a clean monocolored, customized single-copy. The Materials are again 4mm thick leather including Beltpouches from several eastern-europe Armies.
For more Pictures on the crafting on the Belt -> Check here!
I thought i gonna try to make the Handblasters out of some wood and Iron Rods.... but then i went lazy again when i found these for 5€ at a Toy's R us
And ****... they look like a precursor of the Wester34....
Well, after some modding and painting...
I think i couldn't have hit the drawn original any better for only 10€ ;-)
Atleast i can finally take meazuers for the Holsters to sew and finishing the Belt later. :lol
So now for the Plates:
Material for Plates: 1,5mm thick Alloy, lasercutted in L-Long size From the last mass production run.
I'am about to teach myself the "Repoussé and chasing" of Armorplates with Hammer and Hands. So this is what i got so far.
Cod and the way of attaching it
I made them in exact this ascending Order postet here... thats why the earlier plates (tights) look more dented than the later ones. Hey i'm still learning.
First i thought i gonna paint them gunmetal-grey but when i looked back. The Comics never shown something like a scratch of fissure. Only mud and dirt. The Cover of the First Open-Season comic shown polished Plates like later Jango had. And the colorswapped actionfigure also show no mark of an paintjob (except for the shoulders of course). Therefore i treated the surface of the plates with a power-drilled Steelbrush to give the plates a rough, grindy surface
Thats all so far guys.
I will update this more frequently then my last building thread.

"We may be facing economic doom and gloom from all corners, but that's no excuse to abandon a good shopping habit."
We may be facing economic doom and gloom from all corners, but that's no excuse to abandon a good shopping habit. With phrases like 'credit crunch chic' and 'recessionista' being thrown around, it's all about making your money work harder, so what better place to start than on the vintage clothing trail? The north of England has plenty to offer in terms of great retro finds, so to get you ready for some serious bargain-hunting, we've asked fashion insider James Wright, owner of Mint Vintage, for a few tips.
With regular customers including Scarlett Johansson and Mischa Barton (left), James scours the country to find the best second-hand bargains going. Originally an antiques dealer, James married his knowledge of second-hand goods with his love of fashion when he opened Mint. 'Old stuff is just made better,' he explains. 'People buy second-hand clothes for two reasons. Firstly, it's cheaper and, secondly, they want an individual look.'
Individual or not, James has learned that vintage follows trends in the same way as the rest of the fashion world. 'For some reason, military stuff tends to come back into fashion during a recession,' he says. 'Old dressage military wear is big again at the moment, and it's the same stuff Jimi Hendrix was wearing in the 1960s - certain things happen over and over again. Teddy Boys came about in the 1950s because they wore Edwardian clothes and Edward was abbreviated to Teddy. I think Edwardian clothing is about to be huge again as well.'
If you're a vintage novice, there are certain things to look out for to ensure you're getting a genuine piece of history. 'Zips are a good way of dating pieces,' James explains. 'If the original zip has been replaced, then a piece will lose some of its value. Also look at the buttonholes. Up until the 1950s, they were hand-finished, but after that they were done by machine.' James also recommends researching the piece you're looking for before you hit the shops. 'Also, be prepared to be patient if there's something you really want.'
Once you know what you're looking for, where do you begin? Certain areas are a vintage gold mine. 'The Northern quarter of Manchester is a good place to start,' says James. 'Leeds has some good places, too - try Headingley, which is a big student area. Further afield, Hebden Bridge used to be a hippy hangout and a great antiques place - it's definitely worth a look.'
James also recommends Dewsbury. 'It used to be known as "Rag Country" and is a brilliant place to scour out some real fashion antiquities. Going west, the Vintage Clothing Company, a massive warehouse that ships vintage clothes across the world, is based in Formby, so make sure you check out its store Pop Boutique in nearby Liverpool.'
But what are the key pieces to look out for when you get there? 'For women, we've stunning blouses from the 1950s to the 1980s, as well as mohair cardigans, duffle coats and ankle boots. For men, we've got candy-striped shirts, Norwegian print knits and denim shirts.'
So now you know where to shop, and what to look for, the race is on to hunt out those elusive bargains before your fellow recessionistas. On your marks, get set, go...

Napping and nightshift work: Effects of a short nap on psychomotor vigilance and subjective sleepiness in health workers
Smith, Simon S., Kilby, Sam, Jorgensen, Greg, & Douglas, James (2007) Napping and nightshift work: Effects of a short nap on psychomotor vigilance and subjective sleepiness in health workers. Sleep and Biological Rhythms, 5(2), pp. 117-125.
Nightshift is a common work schedule in health environments, and is associated with decreased alertness and increased adverse events at work. This decrease in alertness can be predicted from biological models of sleep homeostasis and circadian influences. Naps can provide a short-term alleviation of sleep need, and the benefits of naps have been demonstrated in laboratory-based studies, and in specific controlled work environments. The efficacy of brief naps has not been demonstrated in health workers in their usual work environment. The current study examined the effects of a 30-min nap break during the nightshift in a cohort of nursing staff and scientists in their usual work environment. Measures of both subjective sleepiness and objective alertness were taken at hourly intervals throughout the nightshift, on nights where a scheduled nap was taken and nights where there was no nap. Following a nap, psychomotor performance metrics (response speed and fastest 10% reactions times) improved and self-reported sleepiness was reduced compared to nights without a nap. These improvements persisted to the end of the nightshift. Effect size estimates suggested that 20-50% of variance in these measures was explained by the interaction of time on shift and the nap intervention. Differences were found in the timing of increases in subjective and objective alertness after the nap. These findings support the effectiveness of a scheduled nap break during a nightshift to maintain alertness in health workers.
