Triggered Double Burst Disk Pneumatic
So, after using Spudfiles for some 4+ years, I've finally made and posted something heheh. I haven't seen this design around much, so I thought I would share how I made mine. Rather than posting the full how to here, I made a pretty detailed write up over at Instructables. Pictures, info, and video are here.
Special thanks to JSR for help with research and such. This was my first time using burst disks, and it had amazing results!
Here are a few pictures of the final product, a little less than 40 USD for everything. All pictures are in the Instructable.
Here is a comparison with the advance combustion I built in one day for New Years:
I don't have a damage montage yet. I seem to never really make them due to laziness... oh well, I finally finished my write up after a month! Hope you guys find it useful for looking into a different style of pneumatics.
You could remove a huge amount of pilot volume by running that hose to a tee at the blowgun, but I'm sure power is satisfactory.
When you get past the 500 psi mark for burst discs, you really see a lot of performance, even for 1/2" unions.
/sarcasm, /hyperbole
Nice launcher. Interesting that you chose to build something unique. How did you cut your burst discs? Flat and clean edges. Did you use a scissor or razor?
Zeus - These parts are only rated for 150psi, but I hope to make a small metal hybrid in the future that can go way beyond that. Still need funds though, my only income is through my Youtube partnership.
CS - I cut the burst disks with scissors. I started to fold over the foil and cut out multiple disks at a time, but they started crimping together at the edge and I couldn't tell if it was faster to cut single disks, or waste time trying to carefully peel them apart.
I didn't have much to do today, so I fixed my coaxial rifle. Once I can get it painted and tested, I'll repost it in its own thread.
Good luck making more than crumbs of money with that, you're better off farming referrals on survey sites.
/sarcasm, /hyperbole
At least I don't have to actively do much. But if I could up my view/pay rates just a little bit, it would be enough for me to do a small build every month.
Very nice, I love the way you configured the fill setup! Great to see something different on the forum, kudos.
Next step is metal parts and HPA... though I note that you'll probably bypass that step and go hybrid
Nice gun, I like it
I am planning to do small metal hybrid too
Nice to see a unique build like this...although there are easier ways to launch darts...
I can see a future for triggered burstdisc cartridges..

Oh my friggin god stop being so awesome, that thing is pure kick ass. Most innovative and creative pneumatic that the files have ever come by!
Can't ask for a better compliment!!
Bit complicated to make more than one...
I almost said to myself, "Challenge Accepted."
But I have many other gun designs to explore
I notice this isn't getting much publicity on the sites I post it on, and that's probably because everyone wants a demo video. I'll see what I can do before school starts.

Take a Walk on the Supply Side
In the spirit of Independence Day I'm sharing an article taken directly from the Wall Street Journal and sharing it:
Sometimes, simple ides are the best ideas, said Stephen Moore in the Wall Street Jounral. Take supply-side economics, which holds that tax cuts ultimately boost economic activity and lead to more tax revenue, not less. Ronald Reagan was the first to take the supply-side plunge, and was vindicated. He slashed the highest personal income tax rate to 28 percent from a "confiscatory" 70 percent. The result? An economic boom that doubled federal tax receipts. Now we have "overpowering confirming evidence" that the first time was not a fluke. In 2003, President Bush cut taxes on dividends to 15 percent from 39.6 percent, and on capital gains to 15 percent from 20 percent. As a result federal tax revenues have surged by 15.4 percent in the first 8 months of fiscal 2005 over the same period in 2004. Federal, State, and City deficits were shrinking, and some states were building surpluses. The controling power now is insisting "we can't afford" to make the bush tax cuts permanent. In Fact, the evidence points to the opposite conclusion: "We can't afford not to make the tax cuts permanent."
In Conclusion: Both times in Recent History when we lowered taxes the Government collect more money!

Microsoft's REVENGE and 4 Dow Drivers Attract High Interest
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT): Slumping worldwide economic conditions and a marked drop in the feature phone market, causes the forecasts for the global mobile phone market to grow a bit more that 4 percent year-over-year in the current year, which would be the smallest yearly rate since 2009, according to the International Data Corporation. However, Windows Phone 7/Windows Mobile will add market share even with the slow start, and the IDC expects it to be the number 2 operating system with more than a 19 percent share in 2016, providing that Nokia's (NYSE:NOK) position in emerging markets continues.
United Technologies Corporation's (NYSE:UTX) former Vice President of Finance of United Technologies Corporation Kenneth S. Parks is joining WESCO (NYSE:WCC) as Vice President and CFO. Parks was VP over UTX' Fire and Security unit from April 2008 to February 2012, and served as that company's Director of Investor Relations from 2005 until April 2008. Stephen A. Van Oss, who had the position of Senior Vice President, COO and as interim CFO at WESCO since February 2012, will remain Senior Vice President and COO.
JPMorgan Chase & Company's (NYSE:JPM) CIO unit that suffered the multi-billion trading losses, is being investigated by examiners with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as to whether the company provided adequate information regarding its trading activities that preceded the disclosure of the losses, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Investing Insights: The Fed Whispers Sweet Nothings to Gold and Silver.
3M Co. (NYSE:MMM): Harris & Harris (NASDAQ:TINY), which is a large shareholder in private equity Nanosys, says that the firm and the Optical Systems Division of 3M are reporting the creation of a collaboration to commercialize Nanosys' Quantum Dot Enhancement Film technology, or ODEF. The latter supplants a similar film that is already found inside LCD backlights, which indicates that the addition of QDEF to manufacturing processes should not necessitate new equipment or process changes for the LCD manufacturer.

On Saturday, between 50,000 and 80,000 people marched through the streets and boulevards of downtown Moscow to protest Vladimir Putin's aggression against Ukraine and his illegal annexation of Crimea. Carrying Russian and Ukrainian flags and posters reading "For your freedom and ours," "For Ukraine and Russia without Putin," "Ukraine, forgive us," and "Russia is us, not Putin!" the participants of the country's largest opposition demonstration since the peak of the protest movement in 2011–2012 marched from Pushkin Square to Andrei Sakharov Avenue.
In Kyiv, members of the Ukrainian Parliament began their session with a standing ovation to the tens of thousands of Muscovites who went to the streets to say "No" to Putin's actions.
"We have no right to behave in this way toward a friendly nation," opposition leader Boris Nemtsov said in Moscow, holding a Russian flag and addressing a human sea of protesters. "It is ignoble. It is petulant. It is harmful to Russia." "I was in Kyiv a week ago, I walked on the Maidan, and I did not see any fascists or Banderovites there," Nemtsov added, in reference to the relentless Kremlin propaganda that claims that Ukraine has been seized by "fascists," and that the Russian government must therefore intervene to "protect Russians in Ukraine." Saturday's antiwar demonstration itself was depicted on Russian state TV as "a march against the reunification of Crimea with Russia," whose participants "chanted Banderovite slogans."
The Kremlin's far-fetched "antifascist" pathos proved even more absurd when Russian state media touted "international monitors," who validated Sunday's Soviet-style 97 percent result in Crimea's official annexation "referendum." The head of this "international monitoring mission" was Mateusz Piskorski, a Polish far-right sympathizer who once headed a neo-Nazi magazine, Odala, that glorified Adolf Hitler and the "Aryan race" and promoted Holocaust denial. The "monitoring mission" in Crimea also included Belgian far-right politicians Luc Michel and Frank Creyelman, and Hungarian ultranationalist Bela Kovacs—all of them, presumably, also principled fighters against "fascism" in Ukraine.
As always, the Kremlin tried to imitate public support for its actions in Ukraine by staging rival pro-Putin rallies, but, as prominent Russian journalist Alexander Podrabinek has noted, "the number of people sympathetic to Ukraine on the streets of Moscow was several times higher than the number of supporters of the occupation of Crimea. This gives hope that the aggression [against Ukraine] will eventually stall, and that Russia itself will one day be free."
Like the seven demonstrators on Red Square who protested against the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, the people who joined the antiwar rally in Moscow last Saturday stood up for the honor of Russia. Only this time, they were not a handful, but tens of thousands.

Curative Education Program
Curative Education is an interdisciplinary approach to the education and support of children and adolescents with special needs. It includes education and therapies, but also a recognition that a child's lifestyle and overall life situation can help or hinder development. Curative Educators do not look at classroom or therapy settings in isolation, but work with the totality of a child's life circumstances. Like Waldorf education, Curative Education is based on Rudolf Steiner's spiritual-scientific view of the human being, Anthroposophy.
Social Therapy Program
Social Therapy is closely related to Curative Education, but differs in practical approach and method. In supporting the lives of adults with disabilities, the emphasis shifts towards creating inclusive communities that can offer life situations appropriate for people with a diverse range of needs and abilities. This includes supporting adults in finding and maintaining meaningful and fulfilling work, as well as social and cultural lives.
M.Ed. in Foundations of Education
The M.Ed. in Foundations of Education with a Transdisciplinary Focus on Healing Education is offered as a collaboration between the Waldorf Education faculty at Antioch University New England and the Camphill Academy.

NY Times writes: "Facing a takeover bid from rival Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive sought to assure Wall Street investors on Tuesday that it is capable of growing on its own.
Take-Two, the video game maker under new management after a series of financial and regulatory problems, said it expects to perform better this year than Wall Street had projected. The company estimated that for its fiscal 2008, it expects to earn as much as $1.55 a share, compared with analyst projections that it would earn about $1.35 a share. Revenue, it said, would grow more than 40 percent to as high as $1.4 billion.
For the current quarter, the company projected sales of up to $500 million, double last year's revenue, with earnings of $1 to $1.10 a share, which were also higher than analyst estimates. Daniel Ernst, an analyst with Soleil Hudson Square Research, who recommends his clients buy Take-Two, said the improved forecast sends a message to investors that the company was stronger than Electronic Arts was giving it credit for.

Ihsan Sandhu recently developed a gourmet poutine dish that is made with halal beef. While traditional poutine does not feature any meat, it does contain gravy that often comes from an unidentifiable meat source. Because the source of the meat is generally unknown, halal poutine is hard to find.
In order to make poutine more accessible for Muslim customers, Sandhu decided to develop his own version of the classic Canadian dish. Sandhu's halal poutine is made from a combination of hand-cut fried, Quebec cheese curds and gravy. The gravy is made using fresh halal beef from a facility in Guelph, Ontario. Not only is the meat halal, but it is also free from hormones and antibiotics.
Sandhu's halal poutine demonstrates the influence of Canada's multicultural population on some of its traditional dishes.

BASKING RIDGE, N.J.— The Somerset County Park Commission Lord Stirling Stable, located at 256 South Maple Avenue in Basking Ridge will present the fourth Annual "Stuff the Turkey" Hunter Pace, providing riders the opportunity to make Thanksgiving a little brighter for Somerset County residents in need.
The "Stuff the Turkey" Hunter Pace is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Spectators are invited to attend free of charge.
Teams of two to three riders are invited to follow a well-marked course that is 6 to 8 miles in length. There are usually more than 30 fences, up to 3' in height. Fences 2'6" and higher are identified with a cone and there is a way around each fence.
For this special pace, there will be only 2 divisions: Adults (open to all) and Juniors (at least one rider must be under 18 years of age). Ribbons are awarded to the first six teams in each division finishing closest to the "ideal time" set by the Pace Team.
Registration is done in person on the day of the event. Entry fee is $35 ($30 with a food donation) for juniors (under 18) and $40 for adults ($35 with a donation). A separate check or cash in the amount of $5 is required to obtain a pinney with the team number, and will be refunded upon return of the pinney.
Light refreshments will be available.
An approved ASTM/SEI certified riding helmet and riding shoes or boots are mandatory for all participants. All riders must provide a negative Coggins taken within the past 12 months when registering. Dogs are welcome, but must be leashed at all times.
No alcoholic beverages are permitted on Park property.
Participants and spectators are asked to bring non-perishable food items for donation to the Somerset County Food Bank Thanksgiving Basket program. Last year nearly 175 items were generously contributed including canned vegetables and fruit, mashed potatoes, stuffing mix, gravy, pasta, breakfast items, sauces, soup, and much more.
For information, please call Lord Stirling Stable at 908-766-5955. Individuals with a hearing or speech impairment can call NJ Relay Service at 711.

A high school football assistant coach in New Jersey was charged with possession of steroids and syringes after he was pulled over last week.
A high school football assistant coach in New Jersey was charged with possession of steroids and syringes after he was pulled over last week, according to NJ.com.
According to police, the assistant, Charles Garcia, had 400 milligrams in two sealed boxes, as well as 14 individually sealed and capped syringes.
Garcia's attorney said Friday that Garcia resigned from his coaching position at Sayreville War Memorial High School earlier this week. The attorney also said that the steroid allegations have "nothing to do with the football program at Sayreville High School."
From NJ.com:
Garcia was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and third-degree possession of hypodermic needles, which is a disorderly persons offense. He was also issued a traffic summons for allegedly operating a vehicle with an expired driver's license, failing to signal the lane change and possession of CDS in a motor vehicle.
Sayreville's scheduled Thursday varsity game this week was canceled without reason, but school officials said it was not related to Garcia's arrest.
The school is scheduled to give a brief statement at 3 p.m. EST Friday regarding why the game was canceled.
Garcia is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 10.

Portland-based dance-pop outfit Starfucker recently signed to Polyvinyl Records to release their most recent LP, Reptilians, earlier this year. On the label website, their music is described as "dance party meets Roxy Music," a description I have to commend for its accuracy. Put into layman's terms, this amounts to "insanely catchy." Reptilians is an album about death and the end of the world, written shortly after front-man Joshua Hodges' grandmother passed. While it might seem an oxymoron to listen to joyous, catchy pop with the overarching themes of death and apocalypse, this is ironically what gives Starfucker's shows such an exuberant nature. There is something liberating about dancing and singing (and smiling) to these subjects – it has been done before (The Smiths, The Drums) and, while possibly not in the same musical style or genre as the aforementioned bands, the poppy, danceable songs about death and depressing subject matter just seem to do it for a lot of people.
After a lengthy sound check, Starfucker were ready to bring home the first day of performances from the Bumbershoot Music Lounge, despite looking like they belonged in a garage somewhere programming code. Typically billed as a trio, Starfucker brought five musicians to the Music Lounge stage and needed every one of them to fill the Lounge with wave upon wave of their sonically dazzling dance effects and instrumentation, sounding something like an arcade on ecstasy. The highlight of the set was "Julius," one of the standout tracks from Reptilians that might have resulted in more seated head-nodding and knee bouncing than the Music Lounge had seen all day. Despite the threat of sound troubles early on, the only regret of the experience ended up being that we weren't able to get up and form a dance party.

Shopping Basket from the June 11 Mill City Farmers Market
Oh boy - what a fun day at the Market! We met a new vendor, Serious Jam, found the first kohlrabi of the season, got the fixings for a wicked pesto (garlic scapes, kale, cilantro, curry roasted cashews, fenugreek and Shepherd's Way Friesago cheese). The hand rolled butter I picked up at the Wedge Community Co-op Pop-Up Market will be heavenly on Bacon Cheddar biscuits from Heritage Breads. And - yay! - Greek yogurt, also from the Wedge Pop-Up. Life is good. :)

Cake and flowers. What could go wrong?
Romance is important to the continuation of the species. (For more information, write to your local congressman).
Western countries are no strangers to Valentine's Day. With the flower giving and the red color and the awkwardness. But Japan took it a step further (where have I heard that before?) and made White Day as well.
White day seems to have come from a confectionery company, originally marketing marshmallows and later white chocolate, as a way to increase Valentine's Day sales. And man, did it work!
I treat White Day as a sort of "Take-Two" for romance. I am prone to making mistakes, and it`s good to be able to re-do gestures without the faux pas that are inevitable in an international relationship.
Japan has literally everything to offer if you look closely enough, so there is no shortage on things to do eat and talk about. So here are three ideas that pop up in my head when I think about Osaka and Valentine`s Day. (This applies to White Day as well.)
1. Osaka Station
Osaka Station is a world of possibilities. It`s got everything under the sun for you to do. There is a plethora of restaurants to choose from in any level of romance you are looking for. The price goes up as well, I guess. Maybe making a home cooked meal is the way to go instead…
You can meet your beloved in a romantic waiting spot outside Daimaru, in a place called "Toki no hiroba". It`s the perfect place for a dramatic meeting, just like in the movies.
2. Nakanoshima
If you are in Osaka anyway, take a stroll through the Dochika underground and come up on the end, you might be tempted to walk a bit further down and to the left to Nakanoshima.
About five minutes from either Yodoyabashi station or Kitahama station (Keihan line) is the Nakanoshima Rose Garden. It is a lovely place to just walk around on a cold February afternoon………. Actually it is better to go in May when the roses are actually in bloom, but who can deny a good walk through a garden anyway, regardless of color. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway, and you are supposed to be focusing on your date!
It`s a simple idea and best of all, it`s free!
3. Make cake in the rice cooker
Back in my home country, the oven, used for baking, cooking giant roasts and the like, is a staple in every building. It was actually built into the wall of my kitchen.
In Japan, this is not so. You may have to shell out some tens of "man" to get a decent oven for something more than just heating toast.
Instead of a cool oven, I have a very cool rice cooker. (I got it instead of a PS4 during last New Year`s Aeon gift card bonanza).
The recipe I found on the internet explains a very simple way to make a chocolate cake.
Well, things did not go as planned. The recipe said to use the normal rice cooker settings, but I guess I have to look at the manual a bit more closely. Oh well, lesson learned.
I will be making this cake again on the 14th (and possibly next month too) and I really hope I don`t burn the house to the ground.
4. Flower language
I am not afraid to say it. I would love to receive flowers some time in my life. I don`t think it has happened so far, as my memory fades with each year. I think everyone, even the most tough, hardy sailors would be at least a bit happy receiving flowers.
In the olden times, people used flowers to communicate, just as we do these days with emojis. If you send someone a text saying "I am so looking forward to meeting your parents" and put a smiley face on the end, the message would be read as the truth. But if you put an eye-rolling yellow guy, a beer glass or even a sarcastic thumbs-up, guess what, you will be sleeping on the sofa for the rest of the week. It`s a mistake we all must face some day.
During some ancient period, people sent flowers. The way it goes is you write a message to your long distance lover. This message is as vague as possible. But the real key is the flower that comes with the message. If the flower is, for example a violet, it represents "honesty", but if the flower is an orange lily, it would mean "revenge!". And of course if you send a cactus flower, you are looking for something more than a cuddle and a kiss on the cheek. Wink wink.
The saying goes "you can`t go wrong with flowers". Let me tell you, you can go completely wrong with flowers!
So, a friend of mine (I must make it perfectly clear that it was not me**) brings his girlfriend a bouquet of flowers, selected because they are pretty, rather than what they mean. Yellow chrysanthemums look nice, right?
WELL, it turns out, this genius gave his girl some funeral flowers!
That was a nice conversation to have (not that I was there, of course).
Whatever you decide to do during Valentine's and White day, remember to have fun. Make your lovey-dovey intentions clear and you will not be disappointed with the results. But what do I know. I`m still learning which flower is which.
**I lied. It was me

Good luck with the cake this time around! Actually, it's nice to have things a little burned. Gives them a bit of a much needed kick, if you ask me!
@DaveJpn Thanks! It was actually delicious (after I microwaved it). I guess I have to put the setting on "low" and cook it for longer rather than the "normal rice" setting I used.
@Kasajizo 'Patience is a virtue' so they say. Even when using a rice cooker then. Hope it turned out all right!

Hey folks
New to the forum and hope you guys and gals can help me out with a problem i'm having. I'm about to start the install of my dust collection system .
I have a Grizzly G1030Z2P Collector, 3HP 2300 CFM. It has a 7" Inlet and came with the 7"- (3) 4" splitter. I have one of their trash can cyclone lids with 4" inlet and outlet.
I am wanting to connect to my table saw, band saw, jointer, planer, and router table which all have 4" ports. I would also like some smaller 2 1/2" drops to connect to my drill press and miter saw.
I know that for maximum efficiency I need to run the 7" ducting as far as I can, and only drop down to 4" when making the connection to the tool.
The problem that I am trying to figure out deals with the cyclone. I would like the ducting for all of my tools to utilize it but i'm limited by the 4" inlet and outlet.
My DC is outside under a covered area and all duct work will be under the floor.
Thanks for the help!

The wrap watches. If my husband could talk (oh wait...) he'd tell you that I have a SLIGHT obsession with things that wrap around my wrist. I think I have 5 wrap watches right now. Is that going to stop me from buying another one? Nope. These ones are only $14.99! Score one for Jenna! ;)
The ruffle lace tank! Need. Want. Gotta have. And at only $8 I'm getting two (or three :)!!

North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory [official website] on Monday signed [press release] a voter ID bill [HB 589; materials] into law that will require voters to present government-issued photo identification at the polls. The law will effectively roll back the early voting period [CBS report] and repeal one-stop registration during early voting. The North Carolina General Assembly [official website] approved the bill [JURIST report] last month, despite criticism from Democrats who argued that the legislation would have the effect of disenfranchising many voters. Various civil rights groups, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy websites], filed lawsuits on Monday almost immediately after the controversial bill was signed into law. McCrory, however, stands in strong support of the law, stating, "Common practices like boarding an airplane and purchasing Sudafed require photo ID and we should expect nothing less for the protection of our right to vote." The new law is set to take effect in 2016 and will allow only an in-state state driver's license, US passport or military ID as acceptable forms of ID.
North Carolina is the first state to make changes to its voting laws after June's US Supreme Court ruling, which struck down [JURIST report] Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) [Cornell LII backgrounder]. Section 5 of the VRA requires that jurisdictions with a history of preventing minority groups from voting receive preclearance from the US Department of Justice or a three-judge panel of the US District Court for the District of Columbia before they may be permitted to make any changes to their voting laws. Section 4 provided a formula for determining which jurisdictions are covered under section 5. North Carolina had previously been subject to section 5 preclearance requirements. More than 30 US states have passed some version of voter ID law [JURIST backgrounder], including 17 that require a photo ID.

Planewalker (a.k.a. Brennan Murphey) is one of the most prolific psychedelic electronic music artists in the United States and a Celtic harp player of national renown. With over 100 original songs released between his own name and his collaborative projects Chaos Control and Mister Chill'R, Planewalker has also produced official remixes for some of the most respected artists in psychedelic bass music and psychedelic trance including Desert Dwellers, Merkaba, Funky Dragon and Smoke Sign.
Inviting you on a cosmic journey to the higher planes of the musical multiverse, Planewalker calls on his ancestral Irish and Egyptian roots to infuse his compositions with the ancient tones and rhythms of the druids and the magi. Weaving memorable stories and gems of spiritual wisdom seamlessly into the stream of sounds, every song is designed to unlock the hidden powers inside you and inspire you to align with the divine will. Raising your vibration through the resonant frequencies of the most evocative and exotic instruments, he brings you out of your mind and into your body. By awakening the ancient seeds of magic buried deep within your soul memory and activating the light code dynamics of your DNA, he calls forth with his music your divine power to manifest reality in accordance with your higher calling. The auditory experience is further enhanced by a scintillating display of projection mapped visuals, colorful lights and dance routines designed specifically for each set.
Planewalker has been featured on event lineups with Rabbit in the Moon, Ott, The Polish Ambassador, Phutureprimitive, Desert Dwellers, Kalya Scintilla, Bluetech, Random Rab, Govinda, Bird of Prey and Kaminanda. His debut full-length psy-bass album "Planes of Consciousness" is slated for release on July 21, 2017 on his new label imprint, Waveform Wizardry, and will be kicked off with his album release party "Starseed Andromeda" at Taos Mesa Brewing in Taos, New Mexico on the same date. Planewalker's calling cards are a celtic harp, which he plays live during his electronic music performances, a four-foot long flaming sword that he dances with on stage, and various LED dance props capable of drawing large, full-color moving images in the air. He has a busy summer ahead, with over 38 performances scheduled in California, Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Colorado from June to September of 2017.
Ramla Taal Tribal Bellydance is a tribal bellydance troupe from Albuquerque, New Mexico led by Megan Martyn, who has been teaching and performing bellydance for over two decades. Other members of the troupe include Acacia and Iona Vernon, Julie Parker, Tashi Amrita, Eva Lowry, Amelia Solace, and Ivy Eose. Ramla Taal's performances with Planewalker feature choreographed group dance routines, out-of-this-world costumes, and various crowd-mingling sequences.
Planewalker also works with various Crestone-based fire dancers from the ARC community and others including Fawn Moonchild, Alma Carel Ocelot Medicine Dance and Kesai the FIre Shaman, which occasionally make an appearance to add additional flare to the stage show with fire fans, fire staff, and poi.
The Planewalker Experience combines the best elements of the ancient and the futuristic, balancing impeccable production with tribal rituals to give you a magical, mystical, otherworldly experience you will never forget!

The Philippines as a few gaming jurisdictions and the current ruler of the country Rodrigo Duterte has cleared the fog away from the legality of the online gambling industry in the Philippines. The President recently signed executive order #13 which focuses on the extent of authority for the regulation and licensing of online gambling operations.
The Philippines national regulator, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) competes with the other gambling jurisdictions including the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA), the Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority, the Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan.
Duterte's executive order notes that "confusion with regard to the jurisdiction and scope of authority of the different gaming regulators contributes to the proliferation of illegal gambling and gaming." The order seeks to ensure that regulators "act within the bounds of their respective mandates." This is definitive and reinforces the fight the government has against illegal online gambling which includes activities not explicitly authorized by an operator's licensing authority. The definition includes "all gambling activities, and activities and services directly or indirectly related to or in support of such gambling activities, conducted beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the government authority which issued the license therefore."
It is interesting to note, that the efforts of the government to curb gambling company expansion is to keep the state run operations healthy and profitable. PAGCOR is nationwide, and the restrictions won't affect the 35 or more recipients of the new PAGCOR Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) license, which PAGCOR began issuing in late 2016.
The Cagayan Economic Zone Authority has been in damage control mode since last month as the new territorial limitations pose a significant problem for CEZA. Many of CEZA's online gambling licensees base a major portion of their support services outside the economic zone, in urban areas where the technical infrastructure is available. Licensees were promised technology upgrades recently, costing millions.

What a fabulous idea. This could be the beginning of a new writing genre. Collaboration in writing with another author.
Part one of an interview with frequent Brevity contributor Jill Talbot, conducted by Emily Pifer:
Jill Talbot
Emily Pifer: I stumbled upon "Lines Like Loss, Like Leaving," your collaborative essay with Justin Lawrence Daugherty, while picking around on The Rumpus one day, but after reading, I fell completely. I followed the trail of your work together to "On Writing, Like Lust" in Pithead Chapel, and then "On Going, Like Going Back" on Hobart Pulp. The lines between you and Daugherty feel incredibly present and urgent, and the longing on both sides feels raw and open. There's an energy moving back and forth. How did your collaboration with Daugherty begin, and how does the collaborative process typically unfold between you two?

Viti Levu's northern coastline offers a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, water sports and the chance to relax away from the crowds in a wide choice of accommodation.
Recently christened Fiji's Sun Coast, because it receives less rain than the rest of Fiji, northern Viti Levu on Fiji's main island, provides a peaceful and authentic alternative to the resorts of Fiji's Coral Coast. Unlike other parts of Viti Levu where a coastal plain separates mountains from sea, mountains in the north meet directly with the sea. The result is a spectacular view around every corner. Northern Viti Levu is a just a three hour drive from Nadi or Suva on sealed roads.
Bligh Water
The stretch of ocean between northern Viti Levu and Fiji's next major island, Vanua Levu, is called Bligh Water. It was named after the British naval commander William Bligh who passed through these waters in 1789 after the famous mutiny on the Bounty forced him to make a 3,618 nautical mile (6,700 km) journey to Timor in a 23 foot (7m) open boat, a journey which took him 6 weeks.
These days, between April and October, Bligh Water is one of the best places in Fiji for kite surfing and windsurfing. With a number of coral reefs with drop-offs, Bligh Water also offers great diving and snorkelling.
Nananu i Ra Island
Just a 10 minute boat ride off the coast of northern Viti Levu, in Bligh Water, is Nananu i Ra Island. With palm-fringed white sand beaches and calm waters, this really is an island paradise, perfect for taking advantage of water sports opportunities or just relaxing in a hammock by the beach.
On the island's western side, accommodation is available in self-catering, mainly cold water only, beachside cottages managed by MacDonald's (tel. 669 4633), Betham's (tel. 669 4132) or Charlie's (tel. 669 4676). Here you can drop into the sea off the end of the jetty and find yourself surrounded by a rainbow assortment of tropical fish.
On the eastern side of the island, accommodation is available at Morrison's Cottages (tel. 669 4516), Lomanisue Beach Bungalows (tel. 669 3755) and Safari Island Lodge (tel. 669 3333) which also arranges water sports activities for guests.
Ellington Wharf
Boats for Nananu i Ra Island leave from Ellington Wharf. If you book accommodation on Nananu i Ra Island beforehand a boat will be sent to pick you up here. Snorkelling gear can be hired at Ellington Wharf.
Rakiraki is the nearest town to Bligh Water. It is essentially a large Fijian village. The only accommodation here is the Rakiraki Hotel (tel. 669 4101) which was built as a guesthouse for American servicemen during World War II. The reception, lounge and dining areas are of traditional South Pacific colonial design while accommodation is in modern motel style units set in lush tropical gardens.
Volivoli Peninsula
Located between Rakiraki and Ellington Wharf is the beautiful Volivoli Peninsula, the northernmost point of Viti Levu. Here can be found Volivoli Beach Resort (tel. 669 4511), a backpackers establishment, and Wanunavu Beach Resort (tel. 669 4433), a midrange beachside resort where accommodation consists of individual modern bures, free of television and radio. Wanunavu Beach Resort also manages Dreamview Villas, situated at the very peak of the peninsula, with panoramic views over the ocean.
Even if you do not stay at Wanunavu Beach Resort, it is worth visiting to enjoy lunch or dinner at reasonable prices on the balcony of its restaurant which has a glorious view of Bligh Water. Both Volivoli Beach Resort and Wanunavu Beach Resort have a wide range of water activities available for guests.
Just inland from Rakiraki, Vaileka is the commercial centre of northern Viti Levu. Here service stations, banks and supermarkets are available.

BA (Walla Walla College), MA (Heythrop, Lond.), PhD (Dunelm)
Rachel Davies finished her PhD with the Centre for Catholic Studies at Durham University in 2017. Her thesis examined the interaction between Bonaventure's theological aesthetics and anthropology, reading both in light of contemporary anxieties surrounding the common experience of bodily diminishment.
Rachel's current work seeks to contextualize Mother Teresa of Calcutta within the history of Western spirituality and its sources. Her research interests include the mystical elements of medieval theology (particularly theologies of the paschal mystery), early Franciscan thought and practice, spiritual poverty, virtue, embodiment and death, and theological interpretations of suffering.

hi folks!
About this creation
hi! my name is CYBERFRANK 2010,
and I conceived Cybercity,
I watched u-tubes videos,
and thought, that it would be cool to do animations,
later, i joined MOC PAGES, and found that it would be a real challenge,
to build a functional city that looks futuristic and ecological,
to the standard of the best modelists in the world...moc pages!
as some of you might have been commented by me,
you won t be surprised to hear,
that i decided on PUSHING FURTHER...
i wanted to share Cybercity stories more...
i wanted other poorer, younger, or less fortunate creators,
to feel like they re a part of the story!
that can be acheived by providing the services they re missing
[water, power, hospital, ect.]
by pretending, and or exact reproduction
i knew INTER-CREATOR story making was key to that!
I d love to do an INTER-CITY RALLY
or a CRIMINAL HUNT
involving a maximum of creators!
as i studied ecological documentaries [love em]
some experiments stood out,
CRADDLE TO CRADDLE concepts for instance,
or french BLUE OIL!
as I watched those, the style of Cybercity began to change in my mind,
as Cybercity changed, i felt better watching documentaries...
as i did SOMETHING! to make it change!
all the concept you will find on the net started by drawings,
that created CONCEPTS, who, in turn, became REALITY!
it does nt cost more to try to come up with lego solutions
that said, it will define ALTA-5 s theme [ecolo]
and you can contribute to that with;
injustice on ALTA-5 should mostly come from,
THE GF,and CITY-SPACE pirates!
[in your city YOU CAN PROVIDE YOUR OWN TREATS]
i studied CITY building a lot,
and i d love to save you peer creators time...
i will do BUILDING ALTA-5 also for that reason,
but, MAINLY, a STANDARD, for a cohesive, realistic, story universe!
in future episodes,
i will define a new concept to MERGE ALL OUR WORK together,
it involves PANEL BUILDING,
a concept i beleive will able us to EASILY and QUICKLY
reproduce other creators s scenes and vice-versa.
COOP, now where is the fun in that?;
as an example, a rally;
3 creators [or more]
each with it s own city [ALTA-5 STANDARD] and rally car
an EXACT copy of the 2 other racers s car,
the standard of the cities gives a sense of familiarity,
that gives the impression of 'follow up'
that it s happening on the same planet at least.
the race start with a specific player [creator]
who made his layout-race section, with the 3 CARS
makes the race until the end of his layout,
then the 2nd player picks the race where
it was on HIS OWN layout
then to the 3rd
and so on the determined lap count.
advancement of the cars could be dices by a 2nd party
that s outside the race, measured in studs of course.
that s a rally, but, it s applicable to many themes.
3 players, each a city, + same criminal fig + car
player#1 ; the victim
makes the criminal scene ex; bank robbery
finishes his part by criminal escaping
player #2; the hunter
makes chase scenes, action,
finishes his part by criminal escaping.
player #3 the catcher
makes the final scene, + punishment! lol!
once i have a few episodes going,
the MASTER PLANNER of Cybercity will teach
SPECIAL techniques for the avid learner!
I LOVE involving other creators in coop!
how about you?
want to try?

I got it! When the Island Locked people get OFF the Island ( around season 5 or 6), they can go to cybercity! I thought maybe also, they could report the stuff that happened on the island and go back, with maybe some of YOUR characters. Does this make any sense?

Really interesting reading, seeing how your journey unfolded as it did, your a real inspiration to me and im sure many other builders, keep expanding Alta 5 at the rate its doing now and it will achieve great things and im proud to be offered a part in it, as for Cybercity, all good things must come to an end, and it was the project that put you on the mocpages map as a great builder... keep up all the great work and best of luck in the future :)

Release Notes
RPR v1.34 (website) and v1.1 (mobile)
Released October 28, 2014
We are excited to announce that RPR mobile™ is now available for iOS and Android. Found in the App Store or Google Play, RPR mobile™ gives you access to RPR's powerful database in the tool you use most: your phone. In the latest release of our website and mobile app, you will find new features and updates to many of the tools you use most in RPR. Below are highlights of enhancements you can try out today.
RPR Mobile
RPR mobile™ encompasses the powerful searching and reporting features of the RPR website. And RPR mobile™ has a special feature available only on the app: Drawing on the Map. When you're searching by map in RPR mobile™, you can click on the "Draw" button to draw an outline on your screen of the area you'd like to search. You can draw a circle, polygon, or even 'swipe' to create a line, allowing you to search along a road or other corridor. The search results will display within the shape drawn.
The v1.1 release of RPR mobile™ is available for Android in the Google Play Store on October 29; the iOS version will be available shortly.
RPR Residential
Comp Analysis – Choice of a preferred property record
To give REALTORS® more flexibility when adjusting the comps during a Comp Analysis, you can choose which version of a property record to use as the comp: Public Record, Sold Listing, Historical Listing, or if you have refined the value of the comp, you can choose that value as well.
We've added a few options to our RPR Reports:
- You can choose the number of current and historical property photos that are included on the report. Choose between: All Photos, Two Pages of Photos, or Main Photos Only.
- Enhanced HOA information is included on the "Historical Compare" section of reports, giving your clients more information.
- REALTOR®-created notes display as "Notes from 'REALTOR® name," making it clear that the RPR user generating a report added custom notes about the property.
Radius Search
When searching by radius on the map, the actual mileage displays, showing you just how far you're searching.
We have improved how school information is matched between the MLS and Great Schools, which increases dynamic linking between a listed property's Property Details page and Great Schools information.
This and That
Other enhancements and fixes in this release include:
- Search for Off-market Properties: Searches for public records properties that are missing address components, such as city, county or zip code will now yield improved results.
- Maps: Map pins for "Recently Expired" properties on search results, as well as in reports, have been updated to a color consistent with the labeling shown on the Property Details page.
- Neighborhood Details Charts: Data on the "Median Estimated Home Value," "Change Over Last Month," and "Change over Last 12 Months" charts has been updated.
- Broker AVM: Brokers can now create an error message that will display to viewers when the AVM cannot be returned for the address given.
- Maponics Update: We are currently updating data from Maponics, which will improve our neighborhood, zip code and school searches.
Coming Soon
We're currently working to add a School Search to RPR mobile™.
If you want more help finding or using anything in RPR, please visit http://blog.narrpr.com/training, where we have webinars you can register for, and on-demand learning you can take advantage of.
For more detail and support, contact our 24/7 Help Desk at 877-977-7576. We also welcome your feedback directly from the RPR website (click the "Live chat" link on any page) or by calling the Help Desk.
In case you want a list of these enhancements to review later, a PDF version of these Release Notes is attached at the end of this article.

The Band
Women, with painted faces, caterwauling in distinctive falsettos. A tribe of young men, standing blithely aside, nods in silent approval. The lights glimmer. A wineglass shatters. A chant drones ever onward. That lone, unwavering voice, echoing through the occasional darkness. All in accordance with pulsating, four-on-the-floor drumming that threatens to overwhelm those of us not in synch with the communal heartbeat. THIS is the unadulterated essence of a Pedicab live performance: a near-religious experience with all the idiosyncrasies of a shaman's ritual. And why not? For the last two years, this group has specialized in producing a riotous form Disco-Punk Music that has, quite often, induced even the most avowed non-believers to convert…to the dogma of the dance floor. Some have jokingly dubbed this unique sound "dunk." I call it "drunk." With ecstasy, that is. Being a notorious wallflower, it is hard for me even to BEGIN fathoming WHY the sound Pedicab makes is so intoxicating. Could it be the quirky lyrics? The (almost) call-and-response dynamic that makes an exchange of energy between patron and performer so effortless? The "wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am" immediacy of each simplified guitar lick…every streamlined synth line…and all the Spartan austerity of a, nonetheless, ingenious cadence? Or could it be something else? A certain "X" factor? A kind of magic? A bit of "je-ne-sais-fucking-quoi?" We will never find the appropriate words.
What fans DO understand, however, is that this Music is a joyous assault on the senses. Like a skilled boxer, it bobs, weaves and strikes when you least expect. A tremendous part of this aural alchemy is, admittedly, down to the elements each Pedicab member provides. Multimedia artist RA Rivera, also known as "Just Tony," is a cult hero among visually inclined artists. Mike Dizon, a.k.a. "Masterbeat (Extra Service)," is revered as the drummer of Pinoy Rock legends Teeth and Sandwich. Guitarist "J. Sonic," baptized Jason Caballa, is best known for his riff-mongering with Indie stalwarts Twisted Halo. Lead vocalist and digital percussionist Diego Mapa, who plays for Monsterbot AND Cambio, is "Mappy"…or, alternately, "Daddy Maps" (having recently become a father). And "Sugar Raims?" Well, the synth player/vocoder experimentalist/backing vocalist really needs no introduction. Aside from his work with Cambio and Sandwich, he is a real live Eraserhead! Not a lineup to take lightly. Their 2005 debut album, the sensational "Tugish Takish," speaks for itself. In addition, tracks have been laid down for a Jam 88.3 Christmas compilation, along with a "Musicians Against WTO" collection. The "intimidation" factor is at an all-time high. Indeed, how does one describe musicians who have written their own place in the (listen closely Atom and NU 107!) Pinoy Rock Hall of Fame? And although I have painstakingly crafted THREE disparate "profiles" in my attempt to describe Pedicab, I have come to realize that their own words would more than suffice

The Texas Sex Offender Registration Law was created and passed in 1991 during the regular Texas Legislative Session. The law became effective on September 1, 1991. The law has been update almost every legislative session since.

Chad Makara (Sex Offender Registrar) of the Sweeny Police Department at 979-548-3112 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Information may be provided anonymously.
Each sex offender is assigned a risk level by the State of Texas based on numerous criteria in order to determine statistical re-offending behavior and characteristics:
HIGH --- The person poses a serious danger to the community and will continue to engage in criminal sexual conduct.
MODERATE --- The person poses a moderate danger to the community and may continue to engage in criminal sexual conduct.
LOW --- The person poses a low danger to the community and will not likely engage in criminal sexual conduct.
EFFECTIVE 04-25-2006: The City of Sweeny adopted a city ordinance regulating the residency of convicted sex offenders within the City of Sweeny.

news > 21/02/2014 - What Charities Need
The question we get asked a lot by our businesses is "what do charities actually want". Well the short answer is absolutely anything and everything you can give, we can pretty much find a home for it. Our homeless charities were very grateful for hand-warmers and blankets that were donated recently. The children's school uniforms and toys helped struggling families and women seeking refuge with their children. The stationary went to prisons and hostels where the beneficiaries kept diaries or wrote creatively about their feelings and aspirations about the future. All delivering positive impacts to those in our communities that struggle the most.
The easiest way to find out what charities want however is to visit our website; the left hand column lists all the items charities need to make a difference to their beneficiaries.
Whatever you can donate, though, let us know by emailing us or you can tweet us, @gwotweets

General Discussion / Article about not being African enough for Africa« on: April 14, 2012, 04:40:52 PM »
I have had a wonderful time in Africa. I hope to retire there someday. The farthest south I went was Zimbabwe--loved it!. I have been approached with folks speaking the local language and only once had someone "roll their eyes". My friend in Zimbabwe told me it was because there are a group of girls who go to the US or UK and come back pretending they do not speak the indigenous language. They are called "the nose brigade" for their tendency to add nasality to their speech to emulate whites. Other than that, I was warmly greeted in Zimbabwe, Ghana, called an "American Nubian" in Egypt, did not have a good experience in Ivory Coast, but loved Senegal and folks who became family. I now have a son from Ghana because of the African cultural tradition of co-parenting, and two from Senegal. It is an honor when a family entrusts one to be a parent to their child, and it is more binding that adoption papers in the US. I never went as a tourist in West Africa--I stayed with family because of connections there. I was proud to blend in and felt totally at home. I also realize that some of us are too far gone in assimilation and too willing to look for romantic notions about Africa. I it is understandable given the racial climate in the US. However, colonization has left its ugly mark on the Motherland as well. People who keep their traditions are more likely to see the ravages of colonization and gravitate to those of us in the US who are African-centered. Human beings have ups and downs everywhere, but, for me, it is refreshing to walk about anywhere in Africa and feel like a human being whose experience--bad or good-- has nothing to do with the color of my skin. I doubt I would find that in post-apartheid Azania (South Africa)

SU fundraising gets 'Movin on Up Award' from United Way
The Capital Area United Way awarded Southern University the "Movin' on Up Award-Large Business" at its recent Employee Campaign Coordinators Recognition Program held at the Baton Rouge Little Theater.
The "Movin on Up Award" is given to an agency or business that has improved its giving the greatest amount on a previous year. Southern's faculty, staff and students contributed around $20,000 or about $7,000 more than during the previous fundraising period.
Southern's project coordinators were Travel Manager and Program Administrator Linda Roberson and Assistant to the Dean of the College of Engineering Janifer Peters.
Winning the award is a "big deal," Roberson said. "With us (SU) being the size we are and with what we have been through financially, Southern raised a good amount."
The money raised by Southern and the other contributors are used to support over 120 programs that help thousands of people in the 10-parish Capital Area.

No query, no warning, no probe -
