text: This morning we woke up late and headed over to Typhoon Lagoon water park. What a perfect day for it! The weather started a bit chilly, but warmed up fast and the park was fairly empty. We all enjoyed the wave pool; especially Zoe. She loved jumping over the waves. The kiddy area was nice, but all the spraying water was a bit cold compared to the heated wave pool. Bryan and I took some time to ride the speed slides and snorkel with the sharks while Sue and Dave played with Zoe in the sand. It was a blast; no lines at all!! After a quick lunch we drove back to the resort for a nap while Sue and Dave spent some more time swimming and sliding. In the evening we rode the Disney busses to Magic Kingdom and arrived just in time for the flag ceremony at 5pm. It was neat. We then went to the character area and realized the lines were just too long, so we rode the Teacups a few times and Zoe went with Dave on the car ride. Bryan and I then left Zoe with Nana and Pappy for the evening and took a ferry ride over to the Polynesian resort for our date night! We had reservations at Ohana Restaurant, checked in and then got some sushi for an appetizer at the sushi bar. We were seated near a window where we could just barely see the castle. It was cool, like a Brazilian restaurant, they bring meats on skewers around to the table. Delicious. There were a few luau dances for the crowd to participate in. We both got lei’s since we were chair-dancing and waving our ‘shakas’. From there we wandered down to the beach to watch the evening fireworks over the castle. What a great vantage point. As a bonus we got to see the Electric Light Pageant; I remember seeing this as a kid. It’s a bunch of boats with cheesy old-school light boards of animals and goofy music. Quite fun. We then sauntered to the Grand Floridian along the lagoon; it is a super-fancy hotel. Took their ferry back to the Magic Kingdom and hopped our Pop Century bus. Zoe, Sue, and Dave spent the evening on a couple more rides and then had dinner with Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet at the Crystal Cafe. I guess she didn’t take to Pooh but liked Eeyore and Tigger again. She fell asleep on the ride back to the resort. Another long, fun Disney day!

Edit October 2017: Moved all pictures in this thread to a new host.
After many months (years?) of lurking, I have finally started my build. It is as terrifying and scary as I thought it would be. I barely know how to hold a shop knife, let alone using it to trim a Stormtrooper suit... But I am trying my best!
I started trimming it, but due to more pressing matters taking priority, I had to postpone the build. It has been waiting in a box in my bedroom since.
Recently I started building again, and figured it is time to do one of these build threads.
I started with the arms and biceps. Thought it would be an easy start.
The specs states no return edge. Is this acceptable?
I hope to have the suit battle-ready by mid-September. I am spending my summer vacation at home, so I have lots of time to work on it.
You can take a little bit more off of the forearms.
Hi Simon, some of your cover stripes appear a bit long to me. Maybe you can shorten these a bit!?
From what maker is that armor?
Thanks for all advice! I have been tinkering with the arms and biceps all evening, and they are starting to look better.
Haha, yes, it was oddly satisfying!
I might sand it down some before moving on to the left arm.
I think I made the strips this long to hide the difference in height between the two halves. But it looks like it is possible to make them a bit shorter.
The armor is Troopermaster 1,5 mm ABS.
I've done some more work on the arms. I have removed more of the edge on both forearms, and the cover strips on the forearms and biceps. I had too much of an edge on the biceps, which made it difficult to hide the height difference. Took some of it off, and shortened the strips. I still need to smooth out the rough edges, but I need to do a supply run to get more sandpaper first.
Yesterday I also glued the shins. 20 mm wide strips in front, 25 mm wide strips back. I am happy with how they seems to have turned out, but I'll do my final judgement once I'm sure that the glue has set. It was a bit cold in the store room last night (14Â°C at the lowest), so I'll give it a few more hours before removing the clamps and magnets. Just to be sure.
I want to do the accurate shin hooks, but am a bit worried that the holes will rip after a while. Do any of you reinforce the holes in any way?
No need to worry about the holes ripping.
Who's skipping leg day? Not this recruit!
The glue on the shins has set nicely. The left shin did slide a bit due to poor clamping, but it will be mostly hidden by the knee plate. I might make som ABS paste and fix it later, but I will let it be for now.
I did a test fitting before I did the final cut and gluing.
I going to sand the edges some more. That right leg does not look right.
When I am done with that, I will glue the strapping. I made them with the help of a nearly 50 year old sewing machine â€“ a Singer Golden Panoramic 670G from ca 1967.
After that, I will move on the knee plate. I'm thinking it requires lots of glue, clamps, magnets and patience.
What I did was put some glue on the inside edges of the kneeplate and the front of it that touches the coverstrip, then clamp it in place and kind of trickle more glue from the top into space between the edges of the kneeplate and the shin. You can do this in stages too.
The knee plate is glued and clamped, and should be done in about 20-24 hours. Possibly. The northern Norwegian summer temperature is working against me, wildly fluctuating between 10Â° to 25Â° on any given day. It has been difficult to maintain an ideal curing temperature in the room where I let my pieces dry. Never thought that would be an issue during this build!
While I wait for that, I have moved on to the helmet. I trimmed the teeth and eye holes back when I first got it. I decided back then that I wanted a black interior. I might have chosen the screen accurate green today, but it doesn't matter. Black is fine.
I've always found that a low brow looks more menacing than a high brow, so I did some fiddling and found my preferred placement. The brow is resting about 3 mm above each outer corner of the eyes, with a slight upwards curve. The center measures 5 mm above the eyes. I like this look, so I have mounted the faceplate.
After that, I started trimming the ears. And I have made a mistake. I overtrimmed the right ear. It fits nicely in the back, but have a huge gap in front. I wish it was the opposite.
I could try trimming the back some more, and moving the ear slightly down and back. The gap should become less prominent then. Right now, I am contemplating on letting it be, or obtaining a new set of ears. I don't know, I have to figure something out.
I would trim the back of the ear to allow you to pull the front closer to the tube. You may need to trim the circular part too just to help a bit. Don't worry if you have a slight gap, it's quite normal. People try to make a water tight fit when it isn't necessary.
Using pencil marks and sandpaper only (no scissors or powertools), I took some flesh off the back and the circle on the right ear. The gap is much less prominent now, and I'm feeling more confident that it will look good when mounted. Next up: the left ear.
Simon, remember once you put the screws in it will pull it closer to the tube and bucket so don't make any more changes to the ear until you see what it looks like mounted. You're on the right track!
Just a quick update. I've just checked on the knee plate. The glue has cured, but it has slipped slightly to the right during the night. It's nothing you would notice when looking at it.
You can try sliding in your exacto blade in there to separate it on just that section and re-glue it.
Another quick update, but no pictures today. Not much has been done since the previous update. I took the weekend off from the build, after having spent many hours on Friday trying to get the ears right.
Today I marked the placement for all of the split rivets, snaps, brackets and screws on the torso. I haven't yet decided if I want to do an accurate, permanent strapping with the split rivets, or if I want use snaps on the inside.
Now I have to let the glue cure. This is the downside to using E6000. It take forever to glue something as easy as straps.
The arm straps are mostly done. I still haven't done the one on top of the shoulder bells, with the sew-on snap connecting to the shoulder straps. I want to take more accurate measurements first, so that will have to wait until I actually have a shoulder strap to measure.
- Added insoles to my TK Boots to get a better fit.
- Glued latex handguards to gloves.
- Tried on the black compression undersuit, feeling like a ninja. But I'm a bit disappointed. It turned out that the pants have very visible, light grey seams that didn't show in the picture on eBay.
- Pretrimmed the belt ammo boxes and the thigh ammo boxes.
- Pretrimmed the drop boxes.
- Fitted and trimmed thighs. Started gluing them.
- Reinforced the aerator sockets on the helmet using Sugru.
I noticed something when working on the helmet in different lighting conditions. The plastic has yellowed. This has not happened to any of the other pieces, and as far as I know, the helmet are made from the same material. I'm trying to think why this has happened. None of the parts have been exposed to direct sunlight over time, and the box was not stored close to any heat source. The only difference I can think of, is that the helmet were wrapped in bubble-wrap, but I don't understand how that would result in yellowing. Anyway, it is not that noticable yet (I didn't notice it until now). And if the yellowing continues, I think I have most of the ingredients to make Retr0bright.
When I came home today, I noticed that lingering E6000 smell from previous legs in this build. It smells like hope and dreams and sticky fingers!
The thighs are coming together nicely. I had to reinforce one of the front cover strips, so that set me back 24 hours. The other one looks good for now, but the glue is still wet. Once I free up a couple of magnets, I will tackle the back cover strips. I keep coming back to the forums to check how wide they should be. The built-in search never agrees with me, but using Google site search, it seems like the consensus here is 20 mm wide. But also that they should be the same width as the shin strips for consistency, and mine are 25 mm. The screen used once were all over the place, so I guess it comes down to armour proportions and personal preferences.
Last night I heated and bent shoulder strap hooks. I first tried the method from one of the howtos on the site, but between the measurements and the grooves, I could not get it to bend right. Next I tried just bending the plastic over a flat carpenter pencil. The pencil I used is 15 mm wide and 7 mm thick.
That went surprisingly well. And I didn't even burn my fingers!
Right now I am working on the cover buttons for the belt. How large should the square be? I have marked 25x25 mm, which will fit snugly between the ammo boxes.
Ok a little over the top but I bet it got you fired up didn't it?
If you're interested I have a little bicep retaining clip tutorial on a AM build thread, follow the link and drop about 3/4 of the page, this may help.

Land managers make decisions regarding restoration and rehabilitation actions that influence landscapes and ecosystems. Many of these decisions involve soil and vegetation manipulations, often known as land treatments. Historically, treatments were planned on a case by case basis with decisions derived from personal experience of past successes or failures. Current adaptive management strategies require a more structured and robust approach to the planning and implementation of land treatments.
The U.S. Geological Survey partnered with the Bureau of Land Management to create the Land Treatment Exploration Tool to facilitate adaptive management of land treatments.

In Benjamin Mendy’s absence, Pep Guardiola has commonly deployed centre-back Aymeric Laporte at left-back as cover for the France international.
However, the entire time that the Spaniard has been doing this, he has a ready made replacement right under his nose and a player that could even replace the misbehaving Mendy in the long term; Oleksandr Zinchenko.
What does he offer that Mendy doesn’t?
Well, the pair are fairly similar when it comes to their style of play. Both players are left-footed, both enjoy bombing up and down the left flank, and both are equally dangerous crossers of the ball and are always looking to get involved in the attack.
What Zinchenko offers that Mendy does not, however, is a much more professional outlook on the game. Just last week, Pep Guardiola was told that the World Cup winner had tagged Hong Kong airport as his location on Instagram, when he told his boss that he was heading to Paris.
Whilst that may not seem a big deal, the former Barcelona boss has already had a few run-ins with the former Monaco left-back, notably after the 24-year-old turned up late for a physio session.
In stark contrast, Zinchenko has only made four Premier League starts all season, but has sat patiently on the sidelines and always been ready to take his chance when it comes.
What are the chances of Zinchenko becoming first choice?
Due to the fact that Mendy cost the Citizens a huge £52m fee when they signed him back in 2017, it is unlikely that Guardiola would drop such a huge asset and damage his value.
On just his fourth start in the league this season, however, Ukrainian international Zinchenko recorded his second and third assists of the campaign in the 6-0 win over Chelsea; he was certainly a candidate for the Man of the Match award.
When Mendy returns from his latest knee issue, one would assume that Guardiola would throw him straight back into the starting line-up. However, one more slip up from the social media bandit, and Zinchenko could stake a real claim for his spot in the team.

Have you noticed a lot more people knit holding the yarn in their left hand? So many people have found the advantage of Continental knitting for stockinette in the round. It's very fast.
I'm an English knitter, but I have adopted Continental for straight knitting (I still purl English though).
The other place it's very useful is in stranded knitting with two colours. I used to drop colour A, pick up colour B, work colour B, drop colour B, pick up colour A, etc... And I used to do a fair amount of colour work. (I posted very briefly about an old project here, which combined intarsia and stranded).
Now I combine Continental and English for faster knitting and better tension.
Arrange your knitting with one colour on the left and one on the right. You should always keep each colour to the same side. For example, in this project, I keep the mustard colour on the left and the blue on the right.
Get your stitches arranged on your needles and ready to knit before picking up your yarn. Once you're going, it's kind of like riding a moody horse: you don't really want to drop the reins.Then arrange the strands: Continental on the left, English on the right. Then, just knit as usual. The first time you do this, it feels strange, like playing tennis with a racket in each hand (notice all my sportswoman analogies today?) But once you get into the swing of it, it's almost as fast as regular stockinette.In this example, I'm showing a small pattern repeat, where you don't have to catch the floats. That is a tiny bit more complicated, and I'll have to cover that in another post.
And just for fun, here's the reverse. I find it's much easier to keep my tension even with two handed stranded knitting.

get your stitches arranged on your needles and ready to knit before picking up your yarn. once you're going, it's kind of like riding a moody horse: you don't really want to drop the reins.then arrange the strands: continental on the left, english on the right. then, just knit as usual. the first time you do this, it feels strange, like playing tennis with a racket in each hand (notice all my sportswoman analogies today?) but once you get into the swing of it, it's almost as fast as regular stockinette.in this example, i'm showing a small pattern repeat, where you don't have to catch the floats. that is a tiny bit more complicated, and i'll have to cover that in another post.
and just for fun, here's the reverse. i find it's much easier to keep my tension even with two handed stranded knitting.

The Dutch Reach is a simple maneuver that helps keeps cyclists and scooter-ers safer. By changing how you open the car door, you could save a cyclist’s life.
Before exiting your ride, reach across your body for the far door handle with your opposite hand. Check for bikes and scooters and then slowly open the door. A little mindfulness goes a long way.
Check for cyclists (and scooter-ers) before you open the door.
Doing the Dutch Reach is a proven way to help prevent dooring collisions. What’s more, it reminds drivers and riders to safely and peacefully coexist with our friends on two wheels.
In cities we all share the streets. Let’s make them safer for everyone by teaching the reach — and making it a habit.

BOSTON - A company that runs several popular Boston bars and restaurants has agreed to pay a $110,000 penalty to settle a lawsuit by the state attorney general alleging it failed to protect customer credit and debit card information.

A new information kit has been launched to help small business understand their responsibilities to consumers as well as boost their bottom line process. A copy of the kit is available from my office, upon request.
The Fact Sheets in the kit not only explain the impact of consumer protection laws on business operations, they also highlight ways business people can use ethical trading practices to cement customer relationships, in turn bolstering their profits.
I believe this package is informative reading for small business operators who want to ensure their enterprises continue to prosper in a competitive commercial environment.
Again this year I will be participating in Pollies for Small Business Day and will be at Stuart Bros Butchery in Kyogle and Flair in Casino on Wednesday 10 September and at Daleys Homewares in Lismore on Thursday 11 September 2003.
This is an opportunity for me to spend a few hours working in a small business in my local area, experiencing first hand some of the everyday pressures faced by small business operators as well as showing my support for this vital sector of the economy. Last year was the inaugural Pollies for Small Business Day and due to its resounding success, it has been announced with the support and partnership of Australia Post NSW/ACT Small Business Awards it will become an annual event.
I have recently contacted all Lismore Electorate businesses to advise them of the NSW Seniors Card Scheme, seeking their interest in participating and becoming a partner in this Scheme. All partners are listed in a directory produced by my office, which is circulated to as many Senior Cardholders as possible.
As my office is currently in the process of updating this publication, I have written to all existing partners advising of their directory listing and details, requesting their feedback of alterations or changes.
This process is nearing completion and your communication with my office in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Earlier this month, the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2003, came into effect with important changes to the way property agents conduct business in NSW. The new Act supports consumer confidence in the Real Estate industry by introducing requirements aimed at raising the competency and professionalism of agents.
To help consumers and industry understand the new reforms, the Office of Fair Trading is running a hotline to answer queries on 1800 649 516 or more details are available online at www.dft.nsw.gov.au, following the prompts to `Property Law reforms'.

Wearing a circlet headdress conjures images of medieval princesses, fairies and brides wearing the romantic head gear. Lightweight and secure, a circlet can be a simple braided wire for a maiden or a more elaborate piece to replace a crown or veil. Creating a circlet is simple, and the headdress can be any style, depending on the intended use and your imagination.
Un-spool a section of the 20-gauge wire, cutting it to a 2-foot length. If you desire a braided or twisted wire circlet, cut 2, 3 or 4 lengths of wire depending on the configuration you want. Wrap one piece of the wire around your head. Place it above the ears and above the hairline at your forehead, then down around the back just above the occipital ridge at the back of your head. That is the area where the skull tapers in towards your neck. You don't want the circlet beneath this ridge, just above it.
Extend the wire about 4 inches if you are braiding sections together. If you are making a single wire circlet, add 1 inch to the wire. Clip the wire. Measure your other wires if you are using any against this first one and cut them to match the size.
Braid or twist the wires if you making this type of circlet.
Wrap the circlet gently around the shape of your head in the same position as before. This time, cross the back of the wire ends over each other and twist just slightly to mark the spot where they come together. Lift the circlet off your head.
Disengage the wires from each other -- where you marked the spot -- but leave the twist in the ends to see where you will be working. Use the needle-nosed pliers to create a hooked half circle on each end. The hook should bend the wire back to the direction it came from. You can use two methods to finish this off. You can double this hook with the wire and twist it on itself to make a smooth end, then clip the end at the bottom of the twist. If you are covering the wire, simply clip it at the top of the hook. Make hooks on each end of wire, both sides of the circlet. When you wear it, the hooks will latch over each other to hold the circlet in place.
Decorate the circlet as desired. You can choose to wire a single large bead or crystal to the front at the center of the forehead, or bead the entire circlet. To do this, wrap bead wire in the location of the single bead and put it in place, or string beads on bead wire and wrap them around the entire circlet. Clip the stems of silk or dried flowers and tape them in place around the circlet, and wrap the entire headpiece in ribbon leaving the flowers exposed. Seal the ends with floral tape, and add hanging bits of ribbon in the back if desired.

This soccer drill is a great way to warm up and develop a healthy appetite for competition.
Set up a small circular zone where the players will need to dribble within. It’s important for players to look up and maintain close ball control whilst trying to avoid their teammates.
As players dribble amongst each other, place a flag approximately 20 metres away.
On the whistle, players must leave their ball and sprint around the flag and back to their original ball.
On returning to the balls, the players must pick up their own ball. Practice this drill a couple of times so the players get the hang of the drill.
Now here’s the fun part, just like musical chairs. Once the players understand the drill, repeat the drill but eliminate one ball from the circular zone whilst the players are running around the flag.
The player that misses out on a ball is eliminated from the drill.
Continue the drill until you have a winner.

On Monday, November 28, Abdul Razak Ali Artan jumped a curb at the Ohio State campus driving into a group of students standing on the sidewalk. Artan got out of his car and proceeded to stab anyone he saw nearby before he was shot dead by Ohio State Police Officer Alan Hurojko.
The immediate reaction from the public was that this was a solo terror attack. FBI investigators are still looking into that angle, and police are looking towards Artan’s recent Facebook posts as evidence to see if he was “self-radicalized.” According to Fox News, the posts made by Artan urged America to stop interfering with foreign countries, such as the Muslim Ummah and expressed that they are not weak.
Artan was Somali-born and had just transferred to Ohio State this past year. He was interviewed by the school newspaper about the diversity at Ohio State University. According to the newspaper, Atran expressed that he was genuinely afraid of showing his Muslim culture in public.
So far, this is only some of the evidence that police and investigators are looking into for the motive of this attack.
The day after the attack, Fox News showed that ISIS posted on their social media page that Artan was a “soldier of the Islamic State.” However, local Ohio News 10tv stated that FBI investigators will look into Artan’s electronic devices for evidence that the attack was inspired by Anwar al-Awlaki propaganda journals rather than the ISIS claim. The reason behind it is because ISIS will take credit for pretty much anything they can based on attacks from Muslims in other countries.
With news and people who saw the attack, many are jumping to conclusions as to the purpose of the attack.
However, OSU President Dr. Michael V. Drake made a statement letting people know that the purpose of the attack is still a mystery and that there is no link to a specific community yet.
The White House has even taken action to make a statement to the American people urging them to not jump ahead of themselves and not assume this was a terror attack before all of the evidence is identified.
According to the Washington Times, White House Press Secretary John Earnest expressed the feelings everyone in the White House has about the attack.
With such a vicious attack that took place on the Ohio State campus, local police and national news make sure to express that everything is still out in the open and nothing has been finalized.
