|Topic Review (Newest First)
In fact, I wrote a guidebook to the Delmarva coast, with the goal and intention of keep the information on these inlets reasonably current buy printing on-demand and revising every few months (see blog). It's chalenging to nearly impossible--they move all of the time.
* Call the local Coast Guard station on the non-emergency number (you can get the phone numbers from the internet). They will know if the markers are on station and the controling depth.
* Local marinas can be a good information sorce, but since they want your business, I have found they are VERY optimistic. I mis-trust local knowledge if the person giving the information might have a business interest. Cynical, but that has been my expereince.
* Slack high-tide is best.
* On shore conditions are very bad. Not only is it rougher, but if you ground you are instantly in trouble. Seabreeze conditions are not so bad, because they are of limited range and generally do not pack big waves.
One of the best costal sailing preparations, IMHO, is to have a list of all of the Coast Guard station phone numbers for the area sailed. I have used those numbers several times for non-emergency concerns and they have always been helpful. However, some of the smaller braches only do law enforcement and SAR and do not maintain channels; you will need to get that information from the group HQs.
For a typical cruising monohull, between Cape Charles VA and Lewis DE, only Ocean City and Chincoteague make any sense.
With the exception of Georgia traveling the AICW is actually SHORTER in distance that going 'outside'. By going 'outside' you will invariably be forced to go additional long distances through the inlets, etc. and that stacks up to a LONGER ride.
The benefit of going outside is that you can sail continuously for days if necessary. So if you prefer to anchor each evening, then (with the exception of crossing GA) its 'shorter' and less distance overall to follow the ICW in most cases - due to the 'length of MOST inlets'. The ICW in NC (south of Beaufort), SC , Northern FL, is essentially a 'straight shot'. Charleston, Tybee, Waccamaw, Port Royal, Beaufort SC, etc. inlets are LONG distance inlets,

I can only sail for about 24 hours at a stretch, so the inlets not only need to be passable, but close enough together so I can get back in before I fall asleep!
My small boat has done 100 miles in 24 hours with perfect conditions, but I use 60 miles as a safer limit. I prefer to head out late in the afternoon, sail all night so I can stay awake, and then sail into the inlet during daylight the next day. I've scared myself twice trying to run dodgy inlets at night. Never again!
I'm also very careful to check the wind forecast before heading off shore. I am looking for fair winds in a reasonable range... say 10 - 20 knots. If there's no wind, it's much faster to motor in the ICW. If there's a storm coming, I'd rather not be in it.
Again, if the wind is against me, I find it's faster to motor in the ICW than to beat into the wind all day. This can be a problem when the wind turns against you for 2 weeks at a time, as it does sometimes.
Whenever I stop for fuel or ice, I always ask the dock master about conditions ahead. They hear lots of stories and are usually familiar with conditions 20 miles or so in either direction.
If I want to run a questionable inlet, I position myself near the inlet and wait for a big sailboat to head out. Then I follow in her wake! It hasn't happened yet, but I'm ready to turn around if the big boat runs aground.
|I'm not suggesting you leave your information-gathering til the last minute, but I've almost always gotten a good answer by just asking for "local knowledge" over the VHF (make contact on 16, then switch away). You probably get the most timely info this way, and people are usually willing to help a stranger/fellow sailor out.

You've developed a HEALTHY respect...trust your instincts, but don't be afraid. Cape May is straight forward...I haven't done Barnegat yet.
Don't run them in a storm; don't run them when wind and current oppose; update your charts; run them at slack; and follow somebody with a deeper draft than you !
|OK, I may be naive but the Coast Guard publishes the Local Notice to Mariners weekly which should supplement the Coast Pilot, and the charts with discrepancies and corrections.

Timing your approach/passage for HIGH tide isnt necessarily wise when 'shooting inlets'. At inlets the historical CURRENT is the most important factor and the max current is totally dependent on how the specific inlet historically 'flows' .... as in many the max. current flow is 'just before' HIGH tide and WAY before LOW tide ... and every (small) inlet has its own individual current flow characteristics vs. the state of the tidal heights.
You really need the CURRENT FLOW data to safely 'shoot' an unfamiliar inlet, especially in adverse conditions. - Eldridge tables, PC current prediction programs, etc.

For example, looking at some of the inlets south of Beaufort such as New River Inlet, Bogue Inlet, etc.
How does one know if inlets such as these are deep enough?
I just posted this on a similar thread .......
An INVALUABLE source of data for 'shooting inlets' on the SouthEast US coast.
White Sound Press
Shows all the buoys, etc. that are "NORMALLY GREYED-OUT" on NOAA charts and chartplotters. Give specific hints, directions, etc. for each inlet from Norfolk VA to Miami. . and which inlets to STAY OUT OF with a sailboat. Most of the depths are taken by the authors using sophisticated depth sounding / recording hydrographic devices. .... its all the 'stuff' that NOAA doesnt list because of 'legality' issues due to the always changing conditons/bottoms, etc. in the SE coast inlets.
Also gives very good 'hints' and advice on 'shooting inlets' in a slow sailboat during less than ideal conditions.
If you sail the SE US coast this text/book is INVALUABLE.
Contacting directly with local BoatUS or SeaTow or even the 'local USCG' station will often give you the CORRECT course and depths especially when the 'published data' is old and 'doubtful', especially in the 'shifty' inlets.
I've had very good experience with local knowledge from Towboat/US. On the phone, calling the 800 number and telling them where you are will generally get you patched through directly to the local tower. Local towers have been very responsive to calls on VHF as well. Great service, and they never even ask if you're a member!
@DeniseO30 - don't stress over the inlets, or the ocean for that matter. It simply isn't that hard. You might try Cape Henlopen and Lewes DE before Cape May -- a gentler introduction ... YMMV.

I found these really nice parade gloves in IMS Plus, a military surplus store. I have purchased from them many times and their products are outstanding!
These are just $2.95 and in most sizes, from small to extra large.
Just scroll a bit down and look for the white parade gloves.

Zen retreat
This Palo Alto, CA front yard was designed be a point of interest for anyone passing by. Landscape designer Chris Jacobson kept mostly to a green palette to create tranquility and year-round good looks. Clumping Berkeley sedge dots the yard, while spiraled Aloe polyphylla and asparagus ferns line the drive. Japanese maples and dogwoods provide softness, shade, and color. Jacobson placed an arbor supported by concrete columns 7 feet from the house, creating a courtyard. The planting beds, mulched with tumbled glass in shades of blue and green and buff-colored decomposed granite, add texture while keeping the palette serene.

Bend police still diving into decades-old cold cases
Body's found nearly two decades apart in Drake Park
BEND, Ore. - There are more than a dozen "cold cases" in Central Oregon. In Bend, there are around five.
Police have two cases they are actively working on. Both of them happened in Drake Park in the early 1960s and late 1970s.
Detectives found both of the victims' bodies in the Deschutes River.
While the trail to the killers may have gone cold, police say they have new technology that could help them crack one or both cases.
It was February 1962 when two children discovered a 17-year-old, dead in Drake Park.
Judy Lee Reeder was a popular Bend High student and homecoming princess.
Police believe someone beat Reeder, then dumped her body in the water, leaving her to drown.
"Obviously, a lot of years have gone by since that happened," said Bend Police Lt. Chris Carney. "And obviously, it has been unsolved all these years."
Reeder's case is one of several that have Central Oregon police still searching for answers.
And 17 years later, another death would haunt Drake Park.
Mary Jo Templeton, 47, was a waitress most of her life. Templeton was also known to frequent bars.
Her body was also found in Drake Park, in 1979 -- but this time, the victim was in pieces.
"She was found dismembered in Drake Park, in different parts of Drake Park," Carney said. "It took about a month to two-month period of time before that was located."
Templeton's head, hands, legs, thighs and arms were found by a fisherman, a utility worker and police divers over those two months.
"Really a horrific case -- all homicide cases are, but this was something especially back in 1979 was never thought of ever around our area," Carney said.
Both cases leave police stumped, but not giving up hope.
"Of course, we are not letting it go," Carney said. "We are going to try to do everything we can, for the family and for the community.
"If we can solve these cases and put them to rest, it doesn't change the fact that this family member lost a loved one, but at least we can hopefully bring some closure to others who are still left."
The more time passes, the bigger the challenge for detectives trying to solve these cases.
"It's that people move," Carney said. "People pass away -- that's what really hurts us. We lose the ability to contact people that may have knowledge."
But time has also brought new tools, such as DNA matching.
"Technology has changed," Carney said. "We have DNA, which we didn't have back then, and so we have a lot of abilities that we try to bring this new age of technology into, try to help and solve some of these old cases."
Police cannot say if either cold case is closer to being solved.
"We can't say it's going to happen this year, next year, and that really, to me, doesn't matter," Carney said. "If it's 10 years from now, if we bring closure to the family and community, that's our job."
While police keep working to bring closure to these cases, they can still use any help you might be able to provide.
If you do know anything about either case, you are asked to call Bend police.

I've tried to read as many messages and topics as possible on this forum, but unfortunately I still have questions which I hope someone could answer for me.
I'm 27 years old, turning 28 this year and am working full time within the NHS (government Health organisation in the UK, as an hospital administrator). I have studied a degree in Biology many years ago.
My parents are from Hong Kong and I am Ethnically Chinese, but my first language is English, second being Cantonese and I am looking to teach English in Hong Kong. I've always wanted to teach and wanted to work in Hong Kong and feel this could be an opportunity for me to do so.
Having looked at all the courses on offer (online and on-site), I would really love to do a Trinity or CELTA course but do not feel experienced enough in Teaching to do this nor able to quit my job in order to go on a 4-week intensive course, hence I am looking at the 20 hour weekend Courses. I am thinking of avoiding the 40, 65 or 120 Hours online courses as it appears that these only look good on Paper, but have little benefit towards the knowleged for the User?
I'm guessing that the benefits of the 40, 65 and 120 hour courses is that you stand out better when handing in the Job applications or that you will get into the better schools? Another problem that I have is the work experience. Would it be advisable to slug it out in a school for a fix period of time and then reapplying for a better school once I have the experience under my belt?
My question for the users of this forum are mainly for ones who have taught in Hong Kong. Is a TEFL enough to find a job in Hong Kong or do I need to complete the CELTA?

My Fiance and I want to try to scratch build a Phase I and a Phse II helmt (with the help of sSkip's files)
As I understand, those helmts are very similar, but there ARE differences (despite the faceplate, of course)

Is this even possible?
If someone of you have generously have a pic comparison, that would be of great help.
An overlay from all sides would be heaven!
So please, help a girl out!

Do Not Travel When Kids Are Sick
While I have been working over the holidays I have not been the most popular doctor around town. With that being said I need to explain.
As everyone knows the Christmas holidays fall right at the beginning of the winter SICK SEASON. The pediatricians office never really stops and if anything it gets busier as families are trying to get out of town, or are trying to get well in time for holiday activities which may include big family plans which may include out of town guests. This is a perfect storm to spread germs as well as families fly around the country and gather together.
While working over the holidays, I have found myself having to be the bad guy by recommending that families cancel their airline flights and trips to see the grandparents or for others to cancel their vacations to far away destinations. All of these cancelled plans were due to children in the family who were too sick to travel. The majority of these patients have one of the numerous viral upper respiratory infections that are currently TNTC (too numerous to count).
I am seeing children with rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), meta -pneumovirus and the first few influenza cases of the season. These viruses may sometimes cause children to wheeze and some of the sicker children may even be hospitalized.
In most of these cases, children may be treated at home with rest, lots of fluids and some children may need nebulizer treatments to help their breathing. For those in the hospital the treatment is the same although the hospitalized children typically need oxygen. The rest of the treatment is really about letting the virus run its course, and that is really frustrating, as there is not a doctor around who can tell you what a virus is going to do.
Since you can never tell when and if a child's breathing will deteriorate, I had to recommend that several families cancel their trips. What if you are in the middle of a plane flight at 30,000 feet and your child who has already been coughing and wheezing suddenly turns blue? It is just too risky.
At the same time I had to put a child in the hospital who had traveled from out of town to visit family, and once here they worsened and required hospitalization. They are now in the hospital far away from home and the dreams of a big family reunion were squelched, unless you can fit everyone into a tiny hospital room and let them all be wearing a mask in the family picture. (Not the best picture for the holiday card).
With all of this being said, I know that all of these children will ultimately be fine and their plans will get re-booked or re scheduled, but disappointment is never fun, especially during holidays.
So if your child is sick and your doctor recommends that you stay home or change your plans just remember that they feel as badly as you do, it is never fun to be the scrooge during the holidays.
That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.

I got stopped for speeding a few years ago. As the officer was writing the ticket, I explained to him that I had never gotten a ticket for anything (true) and could he overlook it this time. He ignored me, kept writing the ticket, but when he gave it to me, he lowered the speed on it as to make it quite insignificant. He said he did it to help me out. I pleaded not guilty in court, and was let go on the basis of my good record and the low speed on the ticket. I really appreciate what that officer did for me that day.
I wasn't aware of getting any points on my insurance. How do I find this out? Annette

'Sabres have allowed only two goals on 60 Flyers shots this season.'
Archives for March 2002
Sabres vs. Flyers
NHL Suspends Sabres Forward Rob Ray, Pending Hearing
'Ray received a match penalty for attempt to injure and a minor penalty for elbowing in the third period of the Sabres' 4-1 loss. He will miss Buffalo's game at Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon before his hearing.'
Today's Game
'Buffalo's fading playoff hopes took another downturn with Thursday's 4-1 loss in St. Louis.'
Sabres' Ray suspended by NHL
'The NHL said Ray was suspended pending a hearing Monday.'
The St. Louis blues
'Johnson said he was practically yawning under his mask. "It was quite boring," Johnson said. "I'm not kidding."'
Blues find control vs. Buffalo
'As the game went on, the teams got ornery, with a series of fights and scrums. The most serious came after Buffalo's Rob Ray jammed the butt end of his stick into the face of Blues defenseman Bryce Salvador in the third period.'
Facing accountability, Blues step it up
'Since the Blues walked over the Buffalo Sabres 4-1, most everybody earned that ice time.'
Blues 4, Sabres 1
'"It got boring out there," Johnson said. "We haven't had a game where we've been up four goals on a team in a long time. The pucks went in for us."'
St. Louis 4, Buffalo 1
'The Blues held Buffalo without a shot for more than 11 minutes in the second while garnering 10 of the 12 shots in the period.'
Noronen pushing Biron for Sabres' No. 1 goalie job
'Noronen has been solid in the last three games he's played in, giving up just five goals while facing 76 shots. That's a .934 save percentage.'
Sabres set to roll dice in St. Louis
'"We're taking a flat-out aggressive approach," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said.'
Noronen, Biron will both play on trip
'Biron is the favorite to start tonight despite allowing soft goals in Tuesday's crushing 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals. Philly looks better for Noronen, who stopped 31 of 32 shots to beat the Flyers there March 14.'
Sabres vs. Blues
'Sabres have converted 3 of 8 power-play chances since D Jason Woolley's return to the lineup.'
Sabres are lost without Hasek
'Sabres' owner John Rigas spoke of getting "the tools to finish the job" after the club's march to the Stanley Cup finals in 1999, but trading Hasek to Detroit was like leaving a carpenter without his hammer.'
Ruff maintains faith in Biron
'After a heady two-month stretch, which included consecutive shutouts, Biron has gone 1-5-1 in his last seven starts and given up a number of questionable goals.'

Latest International Symposia Volume "Where the Wild Things Are Now"
Where the Wild Things Are Now: Domestication Reconsidered edited by Rebecca Cassidy (Goldsmith College, London, UK) and Molly Mullin (Albion College, USA)
Domestication has often seemed a matter of the distant past, a series of distinct events involving humans and other species that took place long ago. Today, as genetic manipulation continues to break new barriers in scientific and medical research, we appear to be entering an age of biological control. Are we also writing a new chapter in the history of domestication?
Where the Wild Things Are Now explores the relevance of domestication for anthropologists and scholars in related fields who are concerned with understanding ongoing change in processes affecting humans as well as other species.
From the pet food industry and its critics to salmon farming in Tasmania, the protection of endangered species in Vietnam and the pigeon fanciers who influenced Darwin, Where the Wild Things Are Now provides an urgently needed re-examination of the concept of domestication against the shifting background of relationships among humans, animals and plants.
For the complete list and detailed information about all the symposium volumes and a full table of contents for this volume click here

small backfire
im looking for a few suggestions
last week i fired up my chevy for the first time after a rebuild its running ok but i am getting a slight backfire through the carb its enough to make the idle shaky. at start up it gives a good shot through the carb .
now the motor is a 327 with a comp cam an hei distributor, performer intake and a edlebrock 1405 carb. and headers.
the machine shop assembled the block and cam i installed the lifters pushrods etc.. i also rebuilt the carb it was only put on a car once but supposedly it was flooding right out of the box so i used a rebuild kit and replaced the needle, cleaned the jets and adjusted the floats (they did seem to be a bit out of adjustment) for initially adjusting the rockers i used the method of rotating the motor untill a cyl was at tdc (both rockers down) then slowly tightened them until the pushrods would not spin in the lifter seat then went a quarter turn to set them. upon start up i let it run 20 min to break in the cam when we went to adjust the rockers while it was running for the most part they were very close but about three of them were very tight maybe a full turn before they would start clacking. i really hope i didn't screw up the cam. as for the timing its advanced about 8 to ten degrees (with the vacuum advance disconnected) that seems to be where the motor likes it the best. i figure to check out the cam im going to have to do a compression test here are two videos of the motor running well one is us starting it up this is before we adjusted the rockers and it has open headers inside my portable garage so it was very loud and the audio was picking up all kinds of noise so you cant use that to diagnose anything. http://youtu.be/0R1eFynyS8U http://youtu.be/oxLqrGHvVtY so what do you think???
Generally what you describe is due to a badly-tuned carb or timing issues, but I'm confused about the cam now. Certainly if your method of finding TDC was off a bit, you'd probably wind up with loose rockers instead of overtight ones. But I don't understand why you wanted to reset them with the motor running. Are you using solids? In that case you would never do the 1/4-turn thing at the end, you'd set them with zero lash and then adjust them while running (hot) with a feeler gauge. Assuming you have hydraulics, it is bothersome that you had some that wouldn't show lash until a full turn, but that still doesn't mean you trashed the cam necessarily.
All of this is why I went to roller rockers long ago. You can fingertighten the polylocks, then give 'em the additional turn (I go 1/2 turn). But you don't zero-lash them by going down until the pushrod no longer rotates, just until the rocker is seated. You can force the plunger down too far otherwise.
The fact that you just did 1/4 turn at the end helps somewhat. I would check my timing again, and try another carb to be sure that's the cause. As for the cam, try the method I suggested (again assuming hydraulics). Loosen them all up, go down until the lash is gone (the pushrod can still be turned usually), then go another 1/2 turn. You should have no problem with overtightening, though you can check for undertightened, which could happen if your cam wasn't totally on the base circle when you made the adjustment.
Another advantage of aluminum rollers... they restrict oil flow so you can watch 'em running without taking a shower in hot oil.
So, just to be orderly...
1. Reset the valve lash as suggested to be sure you aren't grinding yourself a new cam
2. If it still burps, look for easy stuff like crossed-up plug wires, timing etc.
3. If it still burps, swap carbs and see if that works.
Good luck!
thanks for the reply, they are hydraulic and i was always taught to check the adjustment with the motor running. i don't do this every day so if i didn't double check it i wouldn't know if i set them up correctly in the first place. and seeing that a few were tight i guess i wasn't spot on
the first thing i am going to do is double check the firing order
as for the timing i used a timing light to set it so i dont think thats an issue.
Had that problem once. Spider egg's in the dist cap!
Sounds like an intake valve too tight or cross firing cables like #5 & #7. :D
ding ding ding........we have a winner 5 and 7 were crossed and some how i managed to put the drivers side valve cover on backwards...... the rockers almost wore holes in it :sweat:
and there is a problem with the carb it suddenly started idling real fast and i couldn't tune it back so it runs real nice now but i do need to have the carb looked at that part is beyond me. thanks for the help guys. :thumbup:
Maybe the carb problem is just a vacuum leak? Could be at the carb gasket, an unblocked or loosely-fitted vac port, or even the intake gaskets. If no, and if the idle mixture screws aren't at fault, might just be a bad carb.
Are you running manual choke?
I think your rockers are not set properly. I adjust the rockers same way you did except i turn the crank by hand until I see the exhaust valve closes then bring the piston close to TDC. Then I tighten to push rod until there is no play then 1/2 turn for the final setting. Then go to the next cyclinder do the same thing again. And I never adjust it when it's running.
I suppose that rechecking them with the motor running eliminates any worry about how well you found the lobe's base circle during initial static adjustment (along with accounting for any other inaccuracies that could exist like pushrod length etc.), but it's awfully messy with standard-type rockers. With roller rockers it would be a snap. They don't squirt oil at you.
thanks guys the rockers are all good now my main problem was that wires 5 and 7 were crossed as soon as i fixed that it ran 100% better i did check for vacuum leaks and all is tight it may just be a simple adjustment on the carb im going to get someone whos really good at carbs to take a look while its running and get there opinion. its just a little rough at idle the skip is gone so we'll see what happens
i did recheck the timing its about 12 -14 degrees advanced the motor seems to like it best there. as or the idle i know its in the carb when i put a little pressure on the throttle linkage the idle will drop down and the idle screw isnt even touching the cam on the linkage also the pass side idle mix screw stopped working so i may have some dirt in there i will at the least have to pull it off and re check it all and clean it out i have a glass fuel filter and you can see a lot of junk in there.
one other question i was checking some pics of timing tabs and found a pick that showed the top of the tab scale was marked before and below zero was marked after http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/chev...to-178514.html mine is marked a on top and b on the bottom just wondering what the difference is

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|this roof is as bad as I've ever seen....oops this is what happens when you touch bare metal with bare hands (done on porpose)so use gloves and the primer on the side still sticks to bare untreated metal as you can see but just much better treated.the last two pics posted previously are before and after working the roof,(very rusty)the paint for this car runs just under $1,000 if it doesn't last I'm screwed.....but I'm not worried in the least,I've donethis before,(many,many times) the first pic below is a hand print this car is done now,without ospho or epoxy as an experiment.Conclusion:even if you dont treat,etch or use epoxy the job will still be done but will have trouble hitting the five year mark,with ospho and epoxy?who knows twenty years?more?15.00 for ospho 90.00 for SPI epoxy.....for 100.00 who wants to take a chance? Not me......
|Now we ARE off topic Pm me for any additional info but Ospho is phospheric acid,that cleans metal extremly well it dries with a protective coating that wont start rusting inside not even surface rust for media blasting.....bondo wont stick to it!!!!! you must epoxy prime then bondo.....before you epoxy you sand with 80 or 180 just like you would any other coating to assure adheasion.....theres a little more to it but thats basicly it...it also disolves surface rust without any sanding at all and treats rust,neutralizing it.its great for etching bare metal.If enough people want to try it I'll explain my whole proceedure in detail including pics just pm me and I'll start a thread.BE fore warned :its no mirical cure and its a lot of work but in my opinion and with 35 yrs experiance its hands down THE best way to start a major resto project.You guys got nothing to loose and I have everything to loose if its not completely true ........sooooooo.....who wants to give it a go? Get an old hood and PM me.heres some pics to help you make up your minds
|What is "ospho" and where does one get it/info on it?
|You wouldn't happen to have a link to their tech sheet would you? I had a bad experience with directions on a can. It failed to inform me what the product was not compatible with.
|read the directions first some have trouble
|I dont like etching primer ether its a waste of money as far as I'm concerned,I etch with ospho and scrub it in with a red scotch brite,once you try it you'll feel the same way....but like I say they all work.just some are better.I think Ive done it every possible way there is
Great info, thanks guys. I hadn't planned on the EZ Sand step, I thought the high-build primer would take of the 80-grit scratches. Am I wrong to think this? If so, I'll do the EZ Sand. A little more info: I basically skim-coated the entire truck with filler. It had 50+ years work of little dings, dents and deep scratches in the metal. So between that, and all the little body mods I made (rounded the door corners, re-shaped the drip rails, pancaked the hood, etc), I skimmed the entire thing. So does "high build" primer fill 80-grit scratches? I've never used this stuff and am willing to learn. Thanks again guys, you guys are great!
I guess everyone does things different. I cant stand etching primer. My process is to clean any bare metal by sand blasting it then use PPG metal prep to bring out any impurities. I will follow that with PPG zinc chromate. Two restorations I did in 88 are still in the same condition as when they left my shop 21 years ago. I live in Upstate NY.
I agree with your follow-up in sanding. However, I dont use a DA for feathering glasswork or primer. Feathering old paintwork, yes. As far as putty, I use good old Nitro Stan. Yes, Im a relic of the past. My methods are old but my career and success has been built on my experience. Its hard for me to abandon whats worked best for me over the years.
|first I gotta say I'm originaly from saratoga springs,NY and still have family there.This might be the wrong place for this and be conciderd off topic but I'll give ita shot.....I gotta assume you know a little and everything I tell you will be for people just like you.usualy I treat and etch the metal then epoxy prime THEN bodywork but I've done some experiments and know the best way first hand,BUT the only differance is in the jobs longevity so the differances of priming first etching are very minor and ALL procedures work.even 2k primer sticks to unetched metal very well,not that I'd do it but if you did its not that big a deal for you the job will still get done and look good for a few years then you'll find something else and sell it so getting the best materials and useing the best procedures will only cost more and take you more time but since your not a pro the out come will be the same...,Ok? since your there I'll start from there the easiest way to do this is break that big a zz job down to bite size pieces...stand at the drivers headlite you need a system ..walk down the driver side to your first bondo spot...you start here and walk around the truck till you end up in the same spot again...start with polyester finishing putty its like a thin soupy bondo..I like ez sand by evercoat it sands ez and dont clog the paper.. use it for 36-40 & 80 grit scratches use it just like bondo but just a thin coat,cover the whole spot over lapping two or three inches.go down to the next spot,etc ,till you end up back at the lite,again..get a can of semi or flat black spray paint (the cheap stuff)lightly mist a fog coat over the putty(this also works for the bondo)block it lightly with 80 to knock down the high spots till its flat and all the black is sanded off we call this a guide coat it lets you use your eyes to sand since rubbing your hands over it will mostly confuse you but I do this because it makes it faster...then sand everything with 180 da then resand the metal to shine it up .80 is faster..then I 180 the metal but 80 is good enough,the epoxy will easily fill 80 since I've filled 36 grit scratches with it in one of my experiments I can only recomend SPI because its the best (but very inexpencive)the other epoxies I used dont even come close,so if you use something else I dont know if this will work.and the epoxy does stick to bare unetched metal well enough to not worry about adheation. spray a couple very wet coats and let it sit 24 hrs.you can leave it just like that or sand it down again with 180 da and reshoot two or three more coats for a real nice sheen..it'll take time to cure completely but its no concern, its done.Now...if I missed anything or if anyone wants to know why I told you to do something a certain way do speak up, a discussion is good it'll help clairify some foggy points.pros,your input will help too, I dont know ALL the tricks and I can learn something too,plus it'll give my finger a rest. At first I thought this might be off topic but it might be spot on for an example of what we all want to accomplish (a love of the work) I can post some pics if it'll help
|I start with 40 grit, then move to 80 grit. then finish with 120 prior to priming.
Nicely done Dbm. I was trying to follow along a few threads looking for tips, but got discouraged after the threads went off on weird tangents. So hopefully this thread will help. I have a question, but first a little background on the subject vehicle; I've stripped my 55.5 Chevy truck down to bare metal, repaired the sheetmetal with welded patch panels, and filled all the areas of known highs/lows with a little filler. I rough sanded everything with 80-grit, and that's where it sits now. I plan to shoot it with epoxy primer, followed by coats of high-build primer to fill the sanding scratches. I do NOT plan, nor want a shiney final finish, just a flat "primer look" since this is a hot rod truck. My simple question is: should I sand with 40-grit prior to shooting the epoxy? Or will the 80-grit be a better base for these primers?
Thanks in advance for your time and advice.

Re: Prism Jism
Yea, I think the problem was the reference to bodily fluids. Too bad because it's a funny idea. You might be able to salvage it though. You could dump the first rainbow and the equal sign(which is text anyway), and put a ray of incoming white light. Then it would be like the prism is straining to split the white light into individual colors. Because really, that can't be easy to do...

Random question...
How do you get your images as signatures? I tried coping and pasting the image link (with proper formatting) in My account > signatures, but it hasn't worked the last few weeks. Hasn't worked for me yet actually.
The only way I can get it to work is if I copy and past it each time at the end of my comments (like below) until a Mod auto creates the signature for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Except no one said that. It is similar though, which is what they were saying - and it's hard to deny that two smiling atoms are not similar to each other, at least similar enough that woot might think twice.

Anyone wants some good laughs (and the joke behind the shirt), watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzcLQRXW6B0
I'm not trying to pick on anyone here, but it feels like there are quite a few entries this time around basically have the name of something physicsy (like a quasar or fulcrum) and are barely related (if at all) to the concept they're supposed to convey. Which I guess is fine, since there weren't a lot of rules set down this time around, but I feel a little disappointed cuz I was hoping for some more...I don't know, physics based designs (too bad no text is in play, RESIST would have been nice to see resurface)
Thank you all for the re-votes!

It does look better, hopefully it can make it up there.
Schrödinger's cat in his famous quantum physics example realizes the idea of two possibilities both existing simultaneously and both being equally valid.
The cat in the box is both dead and alive.
But who knew that when the box was opened, both possibilities would still be true.
Schrödinger knew.

Along 5900 South at the Oliver Farm, David Kezerian practiced basketball with his teammates from Murray High. Baskets hung at opposite ends of the dirt-floored barn as Kezerian and company drilled and conditioned throughout the season.
A close group of friends dedicated to basketball and civic pride, they were the children of immigrants who migrated to Murray at the turn of the century. Like most of the new arrivals to South Salt Lake, they came to work at the American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO).
"They were exceptional players who loved playing basketball," Kezerian remembers when talking about those practices at the old dairy farm. "Sometimes the ball would fall in the pig pen, but we'd wipe it off and keep playing."
In picking up those loose balls, they would see their namesake off in the background. The ASARCO smoke stacks loomed in the distance at 5300 South and State Street, pumping out black smoke. The region's largest refiner of lead, ASARCO's two towers could be seen throughout the valley, one reaching 300 feet and the other extending 435 feet. These smoke stacks were seen throughout the community as their largest employer and the nickname of Kezerian's basketball team.
The Smelterites.
The moniker took hold during Murray's 1931 state basketball championship season. Those who worked at ASARCO were called smelters the process of removing metal from ore. Bunny Ankney, Murray's museum assistant, said the name Smelterites was attached to the team because of ASARCO's sponsorship and the firm's omnipresence in the valley.
"ASARCO paid good wages, attracting people from around the world to Murray," Ankney said. "They transformed Murray from a community of farmers to a diverse group of people. Workers at the smelts made Murray what it is today."
Kezerian's father worked for ASARCO for 30 years. The higher wages allowed him to provide for the family of eight during a time when social services were limited for students. A dedicated student, Kezerian was student body president in 1943 and a forward on the Smelterites basketball squad, which sported purple and orange uniforms.
With fewer than 300 students at Murray High, they were a close-knit community. The rally from the stands during basketball games still causes Kezerian to smile.
"We are Smelterites!" they would yell. "You smell wrong, we smell right!"
The battles in the Pacific and Europe's shores found their way to Utah, canceling the 1943 state championship tournament, but Kezerian knew he played on an extraordinary Murray basketball team.
"I'm sure we would have won that year if the war hadn't broken out," he said. "Beating Jordan, Granite, Cyprus and Davis, I thought we were excellent."
In 1954, Murray High moved across State Street to its current location. In preparation of the new campus, students of the 1952 class were asked to rename the mascot. ASARCO had closed its doors in 1949, and the name Smelterites had fallen out of favor with the community, according to D. Wright, the communications director for the Murray School District. In voting for a new name, the student council narrowed its choices to the traditional Smelterites and the new Spartans. In the end, the antiquated Smelterites fell to the Spartans as the new mascot of Murray High.
The 1952 class of Murray High was the last to graduate as Smelterites.
The Murray landscape has changed in 60 years. The twin stacks at AMARCO were imploded for the Intermountain Medical Center in 2000. The only remnants can be found on Murray's logo and trademarks. But Kezerian's affection for the community never has wavered.
After graduation, the lifelong resident enlisted in the Army. Kezerian graduated from the University of Utah after being discharged and became a letter carrier for 20 years. Walking 14 miles per day with more than 45 pounds on his back, he often thinks of his time as a Smelterite.
"I am always proud that I went to Murray High," Kezerian said. "There were only 300 of us, but we all knew that our school was excellent."
When asked about the Spartan name change, he paused long, thinking back to those days at the Oliver farm when he practiced with his teammates.
"It's a fine name," he said. "But for me, we were always Smelterites."

Love it
great use of contrast and clean lines, love the little ode to bobas chest lights with the post reply button, nice touch.
Love it
great use of contrast and clean lines, love the little ode to bobas chest lights with the post reply button, nice touch.
I doesn't seem to be because I spoke with another admin last night trying to help me and they have no problems with firefox.
WHEWHOO!!! You guys don't know how relieved I am to have the majority of this done! It has been completely stressing me out and I am glad most of you are liking it! In regard to the rotating images and those who are no longer in the rotation, we have had a heck of a time coming up with good backgrounds for the characters and we decided we would not put a graphic up unless we were really happy with the look. However, rest assured that I am still working on this and am also tasked with the rotation pics for the top of the forum, so I hope to get a great number of you represented. Someone asked earlier if you have to have been photographed by me to be in the rotation. The answer is no, you don't. However, I am pushing very hard to have only high end graphics as our site will be judged by them and the pics I have of people happen to be the best readily available pics we have. Also, due to the fact that I have dozens of pics of the same person, I can go through them and pick the image that I feel is best. If anyone would like to be in the rotation, you are welcome to email a pic to me. However, I may or may not use any pic submitted for any number of reasons, but if it is NOT used, please do not take it as a personal insult or negative critique to your costume in any way. The biggest reason I don't use other people's pics is usually because the pose, lighting, or quality are poor, not because of the costume itself.
Well, right now I'm looking at the site on my Mac G5 (not a new Intel based Mac) in both Safari (2.0.4) and Firefox (126.96.36.199). I've had a lot of issues like other Mac users with Safari - but none with Firefox. So, I think you can narrow it down to Safari issues (which of course is unheard of... )
For now, I would suggest Mac users switch to Firefox while viewing TDH - hard to type without seeing your cursor!
my eyes are just fine. none of this is bothering me. and again, this is all a very good touch.
This looks great!
Awesome Job... I really like the face lift done with the whole site... Way to go Team TDH!
All this work and I don't even have a respectable fett helmet.
Maybe now braks will open up a new vader or trooper section to post my stuff in.
Just kidding braks, don't have a heart attack.
Love it!
This has to be the most thought out, beautiful message forum anywhere on the net!!!
Fantastic job to everyone involved!!!!!
Me likey!! Although like the rest of the Macheads I can't see the cursor on the black entry box, though it's not too hard to go back and edit.
I love the new layout!
I love the new look, even though it takes a toll on the eyes hehe. It's funny, when I opened the page I got a Canadian vibe.... very close to a maple leaf... Overall, great work on the redesign.
Wow! Cool Dude!
Now I just have to get use to this...hehe!
I really appericate all of the work that has gone into it⦠but, to be honest, the new look seems too contemporay and Iâm a little wishy-washy on the smiling-T logo⦠it may just take some getting use to on my partâ¦
Looks very cool guys... love the new look...
The rebrand is nice guys but I have to say that in my opinion, the white text on black background is too harsh on the eyes.
Can I use something else than firefox to see my cursor???
I'm a mac user (g5) but I cant install firefox
I gotta say, I'm not too keen on the new layout.
I find it hard to view, and it makes my eyes go funny! It just seems a bit too in your face. I prefer the old style, as it was easier to read and not so "loud".
Just my 2 cents.
Although I do like the look of all the T-Shirts etc

July 18, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee's six legacy freshmen spoke with the media for the first time as Vols on Friday afternoon as Dillon Bates, Elliott Berry, Evan Berry, Neiko Creamer, Todd Kelly, Jr. and Vic Wharton talked about wearing the Orange & White.
Despite all six freshmen having fathers or an uncle, in Vic Wharton's case, only one grew up in Knoxville. Todd Kelly, Jr., takes a lot of pride in being a homegrown talent and having the chance to play college football in his backyard.
"I am the only local guy in the class," said Kelly, who starred at The Webb School. "It is pretty cool, just going around, going to different restaurants and hearing my name and things of that nature. I went to school about 30 minutes away so I wasn't far, I got to come to all the home games last year."
One of the benefits of playing close to home, is that his parents are just a few moments away, something that is special to Kelly.
"It was a pretty cool," he said. "Ultimately my dad is right up the street so whenever I need to talk to him or need support he is always going to be there for me."
In honor of former Volunteer defensive back Inky Johnson, legacy freshman Evan Berry will wear the No. 29 jersey. Berry, also a defensive back, believes he will best embody the true meaning of representing No. 29.
On Sept. 9, 2006, Johnson suffered a career-ending injury in Neyland Stadium. Despite his inability to physically play football, Johnson continues to motivate both former and current Vols through inspirational messages.
"I think everyday people would love to be in my shoes right now, to be playing at the University of Tennessee," Berry said.
With high expectations of himself as a true freshman, Berry's enthusiasm to honor Johnson has impressed many around him.
"Just to show my respect for him, I didn't want anyone wearing that number and not really know the meaning behind that number, so I decided to take that number and wear it and represent it," Berry explained.
Alongside his brother, Elliott Berry will also honor a former Vol.
Elliott will wear the No. 41, the inverse of No. 14, to represent his older brother and All-Pro Kansas City safety Eric Berry. Eric played for Tennessee for 2007-2009, garnering All-American honors.
Five of the six legacy freshmen joined the Vols during Summer School. A key component of their regiments since arriving in Knoxville has been strength and conditioning under the supervision of Dave Lawson. The Vols' staff continues to push the Vols to new limits in the weight room and with agility and quickness. The Vols are hoping to see the results with Team 118
"I have added about 10 or 15 pounds just being here for a few months," said linebacker Dillon Bates, who said he now weighs 232 pounds. "That is all credit to the strength coaches and hard work. It really is a great program they have us in. Coach Lawson is doing a great job. We will be working hard in the weight room then running on the field. We are also getting recovery right and the nutrition bar. We definitely have a formula for success."
Todd Kelly, Jr., has seen changes in his body which he hopes allows him to contribute right away.
"I know they play a lot of freshmen on special teams, but ultimately where ever they put me I am just going to go out there and give it all my all," said Kelly. "Right now I am weigh 203 pounds, they put that on me pretty quick and I have been able to keep my speed up as well. So I have enjoyed it but wherever they put me that is where I am going to play.
Vic Wharton has been surprised with the immediate impact the strength staff has made on his physique.
"I wasn't expecting it to be so challenging but I'm happy that it is," he said. "I don't think there's a better strength coach in the country other than Coach Lawson. I just feel that my gains have been tremendous and I never expected to be as strong as I am now."
From Little League to Power T
Representing the Volunteer state among the six legacy freshmen, Tennessee natives Todd Kelly and Vic Wharton are not unfamiliar with sharing the same field. While growing up in the Greater Knoxville and Nashville areas, Kelly and Wharton played on the same Little League football team and had just as much chemistry and bond then as they're anticipated to have for the Vols.
"We called ourselves the `Dynamic Duo' back in the day," said Kelly. "Our team went down to Atlanta to play. We didn't end up getting to play the Berry brothers but they were in the same tournament."
Despite moving on to attended different high schools, Kelly and Wharton's competitive roots began at an early age together. Now within reach of their lifelong dreams at UT, the two freshmen have quickly resumed their friendly competitions while continuing to push each other.
"I always say that I am better and he always says he is better," added Wharton.

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery.

What might be the most unlikely sex comedy in movie history involves a quadriplegic poet, a professional sex surrogate, an Oscar winner, two past Oscar nominees and an Australian filmmaker who stumbled on the story "quite by accident."
The result "The Sessions," which opens Friday, Nov. 16, in Salt Lake City received standing ovations and the Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival and has put writer-director Ben Lewin and stars John Hawkes and Helen Hunt in this year's Oscar race.
Lewin, 66, was casting about for a project "someone had told me I should write a sitcom about myself, so I wrote 'The Gimp,' about someone using his handicapped placard for sex," he said in a recent phone interview when, in 2006, he stumbled across an article online. The 1990 article, by the quadriplegic poet/journalist Mark O'Brien, described the writer's visit to a sex surrogate to help him lose his virginity at age 38.
The article was "brutally frank, it felt totally authentic, and it reached me emotionally," said Lewin, who, like O'Brien, contracted polio as a child and spent some time in an iron lung. (Lewin today walks on crutches; O'Brien, who died in 1999, was confined to an iron lung for most of the day.) "I forgot about everything else I was doing and decided to make it my next project."
Learning from O'Brien • There was plenty of material about O'Brien from which Lewin could draw. There were his articles and poems, and there was the Oscar-winning 1995 documentary "Breathing Lessons," a profile of O'Brien by the filmmaker Jessica Yu. But the key was meeting O'Brien's girlfriend, Susan Fernbach, "who gave me a lot of insight into who he was and the permission to see him as an inherently funny guy," Lewin said.
Lewin also met Cheryl Cohen Greene, the therapist and sex surrogate O'Brien hired to allow him to experience sex for the first time. "She shared with me her side, and it showed me the whole relationship," Lewin said. "It felt more powerful as a relationship movie."
Searching for an actor to portray O'Brien, Lewin said it was his casting director, Ronnie Yeskel, who brought Hawkes to his attention.
After seeing Hawkes' Oscar-nominated performance as a violent Appalachian man in "Winter's Bone," Yeskel told Lewin, " 'This is your guy,' " Lewin recalled. "I said, 'What? That creepy old guy?' "
"I saw what an incredible range he had," Lewin said. "Then we met, and I really liked him. That to me makes a tremendous difference."
Hawkes received a stack of scripts to read after his Oscar nomination for "Winter's Bone," and Lewin's script "is what I look for. It's a good story, well told, and a role that's really interesting and challenging to me," Hawkes said in a phone interview.
Hawkes was only vaguely familiar with O'Brien beforehand and admitted what he knew about "Breathing Lessons" was Yu's famous comment during her Oscar acceptance speech: "You know you've entered new territory when you realize that your outfit cost more than your film."
Even though Lewin hadn't directed a feature film since "Paperback Romance" in 1994 (his only directing credit in the past decade was an episode of the made-in-Utah TV series "Touched by an Angel"), Hawkes said, "just meeting him, and reading the script over and over, I'd be reassured that this guy knows how to tell a story."
Holy moley, Helen Hunt • As Lewin sought someone to play the sex surrogate, he got a surprise. "One day I got a call, and they said, 'Helen Hunt would like to meet with you,' " Lewin said. "I thought, holy moley."
Hunt heard about the script when a friend auditioned for a different role, and was attracted to the story. "But it wasn't until I met the real woman that I got excited," Hunt said in a phone interview. "She's very frank and open, and willing to talk about anything. And what was more intriguing was the way she talked. Her Boston accent is louder than mine, more no-bulls- than mine."
Hunt, Lewin said, "really understood the part in a seriously intelligent way."
Also in the cast is Oscar nominee William H. Macy ("Fargo"), as a surprisingly open-minded Catholic priest in whom O'Brien confides.
Hawkes faced the challenge of playing a character who, because of his physical disability, was always lying down and didn't move very much on his own. He had to lie for hours on a foam-rubber ball to make his back arch the way O'Brien's did. At the same time, he said, "the character was so alive, and if I could bring half of that, I'd be OK."
Hawkes who read O'Brien's journalism and poetry and watched "Breathing Lessons" repeatedly to capture O'Brien's speaking voice praised Lewin for wanting to avoid the clichés Hollywood employs when portraying people with disabilities.
"If I was going to play Mark, I had to fight self-pity," Hawkes said. Lewin, he said, "had seen disabled people portrayed as either victims or saints. He wanted a warts-and-all human being."
Sex, frank and true • The emotional core of the film are the sex-surrogate sessions between O'Brien and Greene scenes of frank sexuality and raw emotion between Hawkes' and Hunt's characters.
Hawkes said he and Hunt hadn't met before filming started and didn't talk about the sex scenes beforehand. "We weren't unfriendly, but we gave each other a great deal of distance," Hawkes said. "What you're seeing are things happening for the very first time."
The scenes were filmed without rehearsal, Lewin said, "so there was a natural nervousness, an awkwardness." The sessions were shot in chronological order, "so that the development [of the relationship] came about in a natural way. There was a lot of trust between the actors and the cameraman."
Hunt has shot sex scenes before, "but it's been very different it's [usually] adorned with light and drama," she said. "This was more scary, but also less scary. We had a tiny crew and a beautiful cinematographer."
Hawkes added: " 'The nudity is necessary for the role' may never be more applicable. The nudity is not dirty, it's not exploitative. It feels frank and true."
Hunt said she was less nervous performing nude than she was watching herself when the movie premiered in January at Sundance. "I went, 'Why are my hands sweating?' " she said. "I'm about to be naked in front of 1,300 people."
Those 1,300 people at Park City's Eccles Theatre gave "The Sessions" (which was then called "The Surrogate," a title that changed to avoid confusion with the Bruce Willis sci-fi movie "Surrogates") two standing ovations one for the film and another for Hawkes. The film went on to receive the Audience Award and a distribution deal with Fox Searchlight Pictures.
"I wish I could bottle the Sundance experience," Lewin said. "It was quite overwhelming, like a warm tidal wave."
As for the talk of Academy Award nominations, Hunt (who won an Oscar for the 1997 comedy "As Good as It Gets") takes it in stride.
"When people say 'Oscar buzz,' I say, 'OK, but will you take me out to lunch if it doesn't happen?' "

The first Scandinavian immigrants to North America came in Viking ships, captained by Leif Ericson, 1,000 years ago. But that early settlement of "Vinland" at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, failed to take. The seafaring Scandinavians abandoned the New World and didn't return for more than 600 years, giving an Italian latecomer named Columbus the chance to hog the credit for their discovery.
Today's Viking descendants will mark the Leif Ericson Millennium Celebration on Oct. 9, 2000. Though no one knows the exact date the Vikings landed, Oct. 9 is annually proclaimed "Leif Ericson Day" in the United States — ironically, in 2000 it's also Columbus Day. (For information on the millennial events, see <viking.hgo.se/Millennium/millennium.html> and <viking.no/cgi-bin/viking/publisering/arrangementer/index.cgi>.)

The Canisius College men's basketball team wraps up its three-game road swing on Monday when the team travels to play at Holy Cross. This marks the first time these two Jesuit schools have played since Feb. 25, 1990.
• Canisius closes out its three-game road swing tonight when the team plays at Holy Cross.
• The Griffs are coming off a 67-51 loss at St. Francis Brooklyn Saturday afternoon. That loss ended Canisius' three-game winning streak and dropped the team to 1-3 on the road this year.
• Canisius' 51 points at St. Francis on Saturday ties the team's mark for lowest scoring output this season. The Blue and Gold also scored 51 points in a road loss to Rutgers Nov. 18.
• This marks the 18th all-time meeting between Canisius and Holy Cross and it is the first game between the two Jesuit schools since Feb. 25, 1990 - a 102-85 win for the Crusaders.
• The Griffs come into tonight's game with a 6-4 overall record and a 2-0 mark in MAAC play. Canisius is 2-0 in MAAC play for the second-straight season and for just the fifth time since 1989-90.
• Canisius connected on a season-low 17 field goals in the loss to St. Francis on Saturday. That stands as the fewest made field goals in a game for the team since Feb. 7, 2013 at Manhattan, when the Blue and Gold made 17 shots from the field.
• As a team, Canisius is 3-2 in its last five outings, where the team is averaging 72.8 points per game. Senior guard Billy Baron is averaging 15.8 points and 5.4 assists per game over that stretch, while fellow senior Chris Manhertz leads the way with 6.4 rebounds per game in the team's last five contests.
• Tonight's game against Canisius is Holy Cross' first game since the Crusaders lost at Hartford by the score of 90-78. Holy Cross is 5-4 on the season entering tonight's contest.
• Holy Cross is led by senior forward Dave Dudzinski, who is averaging 17.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Dudzinski became the 47th player in Holy Cross history to reach the famed 1,000-point scoring mark for his career in the team's loss at Hartford.
• Junior forward Malcolm Miller is considered one of the top perimeter players in the Patriot League. He currenty ranks fifth on the team with his 8.3 points per game, highlighted by his career-high 18 point effort at Hartford Dec. 7.
• Freshman Anthony Thompson is chipping in 9.2 points and a team-high 2.7 assists per game for the Crusaders, who come into tonight's game averaging 73.8 points per game.
• This will be the 18th all-time meeting between these two Jesuit schools, with Holy Cross holding a 13-4 lead in the series.
• Canisius and Holy Cross first met Jan. 28, 1947 in Boston Garden. The last time these two schools met on the hardwood was Feb. 25, 1990 when Holy Cross was a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
• The Crusaders are 6-2 all-time in home games in this series, but only four of those eight games have been played in the Hart Center. Canisius is 0-4 in those contests.
• Canisius' last win in this series came Jan. 16, 1982 when the Griffs recorded an 82-80 win over the Crusaders. That game was played in Buffalo's Memorial Auditorium.

*** Which parts would you like sharpend up etc ***
Bare in mind this only refers to vac formed parts
Here's a little example of what I've done so far...
clay type stuff

The team's captain last season, Ryan Bohrer of the Canisius College hockey team has signed a contract with TSV Peissenberg, which is a member of Bayernliga in Germany.
In 138 career games with the Blue and Gold, Bohrer totaled 33 points, 13 goals and 20 assists. He helped lead the Griffs to two appearances in the Atlantic Hockey Championship, including the program's first crown in 2013. During the team's title run his junior year, Bohrer anchored a record-setting penalty kill unit, which finished with the 11th-best percentage (90.1) in NCAA history.
In his senior campaign, Bohrer served as the team's captain as the Griffs returned to the conference championship game, totaling six points, two goals, four assists and a plus/minus rating of +2 in 41 games.
Bohrer is the sixth member (of a possible seven) of the Canisius Class of 2014 to sign a professional contract after finishing his career with the Griffs.
