 who can propel the Lions to greater heights.
Asked about the foursome, the coach smiled broadly and responded simply: "There is light at the end of the tunnel."
Amri and Sahil have been called up to the Singapore squad that will travel to Reunion Island to face France's Under-21 side on Monday.
And the duo can already feel the positivity.
"We have been helped by senior players and naturalised citizens in the past few years, and now it's time for us to step up," said Amri, who has been given the skipper's armband in Stange's latest squad.
Amri has scored five goals all season, and two in the last three games, and he is buzzing with optimism.
"I think if the four of us do make the squad for November's AFF Suzuki Cup squad, we will get goals."
Sahil has scored five times in seven S.League games, this after missing the first six matches for not passing the league's mandatory fitness test.
"After missing so many games, I felt like I owed a lot to the team, and that has made me work harder to repay them," he said.
"Shahril and Amri have achieved so much, and it feels like Shahfiq and I have to step up and work harder."
Shahril and Amri have been in the national side since 2004, winning three Asean titles (2005, 2007 and 2012) under former national coach Radojko Avramovic.
Former Tampines Rovers forward Amri has an S.League title to his name, while Shahril won the Malaysian Super League title with the LionsXII last year.
Watching various Singapore teams win the Suzuki Cup has inspired Sahil, who vividly remembers seeing former international Noh Alam Shah lift the Suzuki Cup in 2007.
"I liked him best: his aggression, how he dribbled - and of course, how he scored," said Sahil.
"We spoke when we met in the gym, and he told me that when you're in a team that start to win, you get that winning feeling," said Sahil.
"And that's what I want: that winning feeling."
Unfortunately I don't have any WIP pics.
My buddy asked me to make a ferro rod holder so I did. Just plain ol aluminum but I thought it came out well so I thought I'd share.
5/16" diam rod with 1.5" length striking area. Threaded the rod with a common thread 5/16-24 so he could use a die to thread replacement rods if I'm not around.
Pics courtesy of a friend.
How hard was it to put threads on that rod? I recall that stuff being on the brittle side; I'd have thought it would chip out and look horrendous!
Thanks. I have also heard that they are brittle but that was after I made them.
They threaded pretty easily, I single pointed them on the lathe. But you have to keep them lubricated. On one of them I started threading dry, it sparked & ignited some chips laying on my gap. Wasn't a big deal but I was quickly reminded of the first small lathe fire I had.
I've also tried threading one using a die just to see if it could be done. That way anyone without a lathe could make their own replacements. It threaded fine.
Very nice, Will. I have wished for one of those many times.
Those are dang nice, and I own the same exact Snap-on scale with the same wording.
Nice, how did you color the titanium? They look like anodized Al.
Also what are the round cutter like things in some of the pics? Part of them?
I believe I still have some ferro rod leftover. If I get some time I'll try to make it happen.
I anodized them electrically. Ti can also be "anodized" using heat but you can't achieve as many colors & is less controllable for the color output.
The round things are beads that were hand made by my buddy in Norway. He wanted to play with some Ti so I sent him some blanks to play with.{

Aruna Quadri lost in the quarterfinal of the on-going Hungarian Open.
Former National Table Tennis Coach, Babatunde Obisanya, has blamed the country for not doing enough to support Aruna Quadri, leading to his unfortunate loss to Germany’s Ruwen Filus at the just concluded International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Tour, Hungarian Open.
Quadri, ranked number 25th in the world, was shown the exit door by Filus (56th) during the grueling quarterfinal match that ended 11-9, 14-12, 2-11, 11-9, 6-11, 4-11, 12-10 in favour of the German.
Speaking to The Guardian yesterday, Obisanya said the fact that Quadri lost to a lower ranked player at the Hungary Open is not new, as there is room for upsets in the game of sports. According to Obisanya, moral support for Quadri would have gone a long way in boosting his game.
“Losing to a lower ranked player can never be ruled out in the game of sports. After all, a much lower ranked player knocked out the number one tennis star, Andy Murray. Even the same thing happened to Novak Djokovic at the Australia Open. But the question is why was nobody there with Quadri. I believe that the person who is in the best position to tell us that is the president of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation.
“Though a combination of so many factors could have led to that, which include lack of funds. It is one thing for the president of the federation to make a request that somebody should be there with him (I am just assuming), and may be the government did not listen to him. Sending someone there would have been a way of encouraging him,” he said.
The former table tennis star, who added that the same scenario can also be painted of other sports, said lack of support in form of funding was not peculiar to table tennis alone.
Teaching is my passion and all the students I teach do very well in their exams. Besides my lessons are fun and I don't make them boring. I give them more than they learn in school, with complete notes.
I have 14 years of teaching experience, and have taught at a University, in colleges and in schools. My GCSE students have all obtained above 6, and some have obtained 7 in their mocks. The students in lower years have improved in their punctuation, spellings and comprehension.
I have a MA,MPhil in English, MA in History and a Bachelor in Education. I have taught English Literature at the University and have worked in colleges and in schools. Right now my focus is on school students who are 11 years and above, till GCSE. I am a self-employed tutor with other agencies as well and also with Free2learn, Birmingham.For its Spring Fundraiser, the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board will be hosting a screening of “Racing to Zero.” This documentary explores San Francisco’s goal of reaching zero waste. In light of the recently announced OneNYC zero waste goals, we will host a panel discussion on where NYC stands in relation to SF.
This event specifically is being held to raise funds for the 5th Annual Community-Scale Composting Grants to provide funding assistance for community, small-scale organic waste diversion initiatives across the city in 2016. As NYC looks to expand its pilot organics program, it is more crucial than ever to promote local compositing efforts. Along with the support from the Manhattan Borough President’s Office and Citizens Committee for NYC, this fundraiser’s proceeds will help ensure we can continue this program into its 6th year!
Don’t you think we can all use a big dose of patience? After the challenges of living in what seems to be our new norm, attributes like patience, adaptability, and perseverance are key to not losing hope. It is funny how God always gives us what we need, not necessarily what we want. I guess I needed to grow in this area because this past year and a half has groomed me up to a whole new level of patience. With so much uncertainty around my husband’s fragile health during a global pandemic, along with not working and discerning my next work role and, did I mention, the inability to be with my children, grands, family, and friends? It is only by God’s grace that I haven’t gone a bit batty! But God uses everything for good. Sitting in the solitude and spending time with my Creator has gifted me with a greater understanding of His mercy and grace and has given me deeper compassion for others and especially myself.
Today, we explore the fourth fruit of the Spirit, patience. Patience allows us to have compassion for people despite their flaws and weaknesses. This fruit comes from an understanding of
