Hi Chef John,
Great recipe!
Where do you buy your ribs?
I live near the Bi-Rite on Divisadero and rack of lamb is somewhere around $20-$30!

Hi Chef John,
Great recipe!
Where do you buy your ribs?
I live near a Bi-Rite on Divisadero and a rack of lamb ribs is somewhere around 20 or 30 dollars! The Safeways I go to don't seem to ever carry it.

Don't pay that much! I got mine at Olivier's off 3rd St. Don't remember how much it cost. Try to order from Golden Gate Meats or Calmart on California. Should be cheaper than that!

Trying this tonight with some spare ribs. My mom isn't a fan of overly hot food so I added a bit more root beer to give it some additional sweetness. Ribs are chilling in the fride now. Gonna cook em up tomorrow paired with some herb roasted garlic mashed potatoes!
Thanks Chef John!

Just curious is it possible to use hard apple cider as a marinade? i.e. Angry Orchard? What would that be like?

I just spent 80 bucks on two racks of lamb. I must have gotten the wrong one :(
- November 30, 2013 at 5:31 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes, do not use rack of lamb for this recipe! You want lamb ribs!

Greetings Chef John!
I love your youtube channel and I'm going to make this recipe, but here in my town I can't find root beer, the options I have are: Suga cane juice; Sugar syrup (perhaps dissolved in soda water); India Pale Ale Beer (alcoholic dark beer with malt and sugar cane);
Some of these would be a good substitute or you would have another option?
Thank you!

Those probably will not work the same. Do you have Cola? Coke or other cola sodas? This would be closer.

I'm doing this recipe now... But I've wrongly bought lamb rack with loin instead of Breast Rib. Think I need to cook it a bit longer... Btw, did you frenched the rib? Because the prep I can see it's not frenched but the result is frenched rib.

Are you looking for an Estate Agent in Clare? Have you considered selling your property without an estate agent? Many property owners across Ireland have chosen to sell their property without using an estate agent and use the services of Sellityourself.ie instead.
The benefits of selling property without an estate agent are numerous. In these recessionary times one of the most attractive benefits of cutting out the estate agent is that you save thousands on the estate agent's commission. However a recent survey by Sellityourself.ie has shown that the majority of our clients use our services in order to have more control over their property sale.
It is interesting to note that Myhome.ie (which is an 'estate agent only' website) say the following on their website in relation to Selling Without an Agent:
"The number of independent property sales is starting to rise as the number of property websites increase. Apartments and properties in housing estates are easier to sell online, especially if you live in a popular area where you can be sure of strong demand. Although more than 95% of people selling residential property in Ireland use an estate agent, with a similar situation in Britain, in many areas of Europe, and in New Zealand, millions of people handle the sale themselves. Saving yourself a big chunk of money, especially if you are moving to a more expensive house, would be very welcome for a lot of people so going it alone might be something to consider?"
The following is a list of property in Clare where the property owners have chosen to sell without an estate agent. You can also click here to find the most up to date list of property for sale in Clare Ireland.

Economical Fluorescent Lighting from Interfit
April 11, 2011
Interfit (www.Interfitphotographic.com), a leading manufacturer of photographic lighting, recently introduced Super Cool-lite 6 Fluorescent lighting. Designed from the ground up, the Super Cool-lite 6 features a rear grab handle, fully illuminated switches and new self-contained fixings for the high-contrast reflector and soft-box fitting built into the head. Its 32-watt lamps deliver output equivalent to 650 watts per head when compared to tungsten lighting, and each lamp can be controlled via the rear panel switches. The single head kit has a MSRP of $234.99, the twin head kit: $549.99.


text: The rear is dovetail--you can make your own tool to push it out of the slide, but you'll want to be gentle with new night sights installing them. You can also use the brass, or wooden dowel as a drift punch. The front sight is staked in at the top, and retained by a screw from the bottom. Kind of a hassle for the DIY'er. My suggestion----buy a set of night sights, then ask the dealer where you buy your pistol if they will install the new sights for you free. Never hurts to ask, but be prepared to pay maybe $20 for them to do that. I've been the Glock armorer's kit with the tools to do this as I have several Glocks, but only one still has factory sights. The kit goes for $125, and I could get a group buy with three or more for $5-10 off. I haven't got one yet as I'm still not quite able to justify it. If I get my FFL, it will be one of my first tools though.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Plastic is cool!
Tomorrow I am mounting the dash that I modified. In my '74 Chevy, all of the gauges are pooled together on the left side & looks funky and outdated.
I grabbed another plastic dash and hacked up the two sets and made my own that gives me what I am looking for... all of the gauges marching along the top of the dash, left to right.
Since I don't have A/C in my truck, two of the gauges fit there np, I don't have a working OEM radio, so I built a little cubby hole for junk & stuff.
A shot of gray wrinkly-coat paint & itis looking pretty sharp. Low bucks project.
You guys are on the right track. Make the part out of something stiff, like aluminum, then find a screenprinting place that can laser cut. They can screen a new cluster face and laser cut it to fit exactly. Thats what we do all thetime. Most custom gauge shops can handle this. The artwork is the big cost.
|I like Sam's suggestion, but I would make the pattern out of chipboard (easier to modify and tweak) and back up the aluminum with plastic like sheet nylon, UHMW polyethylene, or UHMW polypropylene. The plastic will fabricate very easily with woodworking tools. This will give you a very stable surface and a solid base for the gauges.
How I would go about something like that is to pull out the old dash panel and then make myself a template of the area to be filled out of thin plywood like 1/8 inch plywood..It may take several stabs at it to get something pleasing in appearance..figure out just where you are going to attach the new panel and fix some brackets or you may be able to drill some screw holes to fasten the new panel..layout the gauges and lites and then cut the holes in the ply..when all this is satisfactory then take a piece of aluminum at least 0.060 and engine turn it and then cut and drill the holes in the aluminum..assemble the gauges to the new panel and install it..I try and find some socket head cap screws or nice stainless or chrome torx screws about a #8 to fasten the panel..looks kinda high tech and hotroddy when done..
If you like you can do a fiberglass dash panel as well..just depends on your fabrication skills and what you like..
Help with custom gauge cluster 87 caprice
I have an 87 caprice. The dash only has an 85mph speedo with a fuel level gauge. Im swapping in a t-56 transmission so I need a tach. What I want to do is pull out the gauge pod/cluster unit and make some sort of sheetmetal? gauge panel and cut out some holes to put in an aftermarket speedo,tach, fuel and a few other gauges so I can keep an eye on all the vitals. My vehicle is no longer computer controlled so I dont need all the dummy lights it has. Any suggestions on how to get started and if I should use sheet metal or something else. I will have to add my own lights for turn signals and hi beams so I know when they are on. If sheetmetal is preferred would it be wise to rubber mount it to keep vibrations down?
Thanks and I hope I didnt confuse anyone.

text: We started slow, off to 5-0 deficit, we made a run to take a 6 pt lead, they hit back and we were down 29-24 by the end of the qtr. My whipping boy for the night: Ben Wallace! Might be the worse defense I've ever seen him play, he gave Scola one WIDE OPEN look after another, never fought him, never battled him, he was awful. The only thing worse may have been the rebounding of Jason Maxiel, he's absolutely pathetic on the boards, he's fat, overweight and slow, yet he's one of our best front court defenders, GOOD GRIEF! Pistons got a ton of deflections yet NEVER came up with a loose ball and instead of us heading back with the balll on offense we usually gave up an easy buckey, and-1 or trey. Our bench kicked their benches butts, Adelman noticed and got his starters back in and Hou once again took control. We had no answer for the killer combination of........... Lowery and Scola? Now in all fairness, Kyle Lowery is probably the best backup PG in the league, and he beat the heck out of our starting-backup combo guard. Stuckey had a good stat line but did nothing that resembled winning basketball. Rip is pathetic, and so is Kuester if there are no changes made. We can't win with Ben Gordon shooting so poorly, and he was awful nor could he defend. There's enough blame to go around for everyone for this loss. Daye got some legit run tonight as did Monroe. And While GM is finishing better, he still has a long way to go.

We are proud to announce the impending launch of a series of novels written specifically with younger Blizzard gamers in mind. This series of novels, titled Fledgling Heroes, will focus primarily on themes and topics that are relevant to teen and tween readers while still delivering epic, heart-pounding, page-turning action.
At Blizzard Entertainment, we've been telling stories for years. Stories about demons from a plane of eternal torment and insatiable hive-mind aliens ravaging the galaxy. Tales of armies clashing mercilessly across worlds without end. These are big stories, stories that we love—but are they real enough? Do they convey the true humanity of the characters you've come to know and love (or hate)?
Starting this year, our new Fledgling Heroes series of young adult novels, aimed at our growing tween and teen audience, will give you a chance to watch iconic Blizzard characters fall in love, overdo it with concealer, and tackle that most dangerous of raids: the emergency house party.
Read on to learn more about the first novels to be released under the Flegling Heroes label . . .
Kruzz has it tough. Ever since his parents sent him away to live in cosmopolitan Stormwind, life's been bleak. By fate or just a cruel trick of biology, he's growing faster than the other kids. Everyone makes fun of the way he talks, and Kruzz's body image issues are so paralyzing that he's begun to wear a disguise to class.
But then one day, he meets a gnome. Rolli's a star forward on the flag capture team. She's inspirational—passionate, hotheaded, and unafraid to break the rules—and shockingly, she seems really interested in Kruzz!
There's only one problem: Kruzz is an ogre! And he can't stop eating, especially in a kingdom full of thousands of two-legged meats.
Rolli might care about him, but first she'll have to get over the fact that they look really awkward together. Meanwhile, Kruzz is forced to make the most difficult of choices: embrace Rolli as the girl he's always wanted, or cook and eat her before she realizes he's planning to cook and eat her.
The Anger Gauntlet
Trouble is festering in the Undercity. Unruly Forsaken who were between the ages of 12 and 18 before they were reanimated are starting to question their leadership—and now these unteens have made the terrible mistake of gaining the Banshee Queen's attention!
Sylvanas Windrunner, the undisputed ruler of the Undercity, plans a masterstroke of statecraft to quell this rebellion and pacify her people. She demands that three young members of each of the Undercity's quarters participate in a brutal gladiatorial battle to the death, where only one dead person will survive.
Into this utterly foolproof recipe for continued totalitarianism are flung the contestants of the Mage Quarter: quick-witted, capable, likeable friends Catnip Nebelung and Mason Abernathy, along with resident elevator guard Gorgus the Belly-Maw. The odds are on Gorgus winning—but odds are made to be beaten!
The Anger Gauntlet strives to ask difficult, eternal questions. Is it okay to take someone else's unlife if it means saving your own? Should we trust our leaders? And are 400 pages really enough to describe an arrow's exit wound?
Ross Harrison and the Secret Academy
Eleven year-old Ross can't stand life on the Dominion homeworld of Tarsonis. Sure, the capital of terran civilization offers plenty to do, but Ross's adoptive parents are terrible, terrible people. His "mother" is a staunch disciplinarian who makes him eat, sleep, and go to school in the bathroom and complete 5-mile forced marches while carrying his fat brother in a backpack. And his "father" is an insufferable despot and the reigning All-Districts Hate Crimes champion.
But one day, Ross receives a private holo-vid invitation. It says that he's special, and offers him a scholarship to study at the secret military academy of the Emperor's Legion, the elite retinue of terran special operatives that his parents—his REAL parents—once served with. When he accepts, Ross's whole life changes.
Ross's natural greatness sets him on the fast-track at the Legion military academy. Despite being an emotionally perplexed creature with an underdeveloped sense of self-control and no real life experience, he's put in charge of the famous Fourth Squad that his dad used to lead. And not a moment too soon.
When all of the Legion's officers and their husbands and wives decide to go on an irresponsible extended holiday, the nightmarish alien zerg descend on Tarsonis in droves. Ross is the only soldier in the entire Dominion military with enough bravado and drive to save the planet from annihilation!
We're also working on a new collection of short stories to answer one of the questions we're most often asked about our more famous heroes and villains—"But what were they like in their early years?" Discover the turbulent adolescence of popular faces like 13-galactic-cycles-old Zeratul as he struggles with his budding psionic powers, or join young Garrosh Hellscream as he deals with an absentee father and natural disasters on a planetary scale.
Spend time with then-Warchief Thrall and Archmage Jaina Proudmoore in the warm summer days after the fall of Archimonde, when the mistrust between Alliance and Horde seems destined to fade away, and anything—anything—can happen.
The Fledgling Heroes project is something that we've really wanted to do ever since we started making games, but we had to wait for the right time.
And the right time... is now.

Sarah Jackson To Play For Des Casterta In Italy
CASTERA, ITALY, Iona College softball graduate RHP Sarah Jackson has earned a spot on the roster of Italian softball powerhouse Des Casterta following a three day tryout last week.
After last week's tryout in which the attendees took part in scrimmages, Jackson was named to the team in time to compete at the European Cup. Due to a rule allowing rosters to expand, Jackson was able to join an otherwise already set roster. The European Cup is a tournament to claim the right to be called Europe's top softball team with Des Casterta getting an automatic berth by way of its Italian Cup a year ago. The team is currently ranked number one in the country and will look to claimed another Italian Cup in a few weeks.
Jackson, a two-time MAAC Pitcher of the Year and a three time All-MAAC First Team honoree, finished her career with a program record 62 wins and is Iona softball's all-time leader in strikeouts, games started, games pitched, innings pitched, shutouts and strikeout ratio. She led the Gaels to three consecutive MAAC Championships and three straight NCAA Regional appearances.

Discussion in 'February 2009' started by Dlev59, Feb 16, 2009.
He asked where the unemployment office was located.
LOL, my turn: He asked were the janitors office and uniform were located.
The way this team is disintegrating under Curry will force Joe to pay more for FA's. He needs to nip this in the bud asap if he wants the Pistons to be EC viable in coming years...otherwise the Pistons will turn teal again.
Where to start. Why start. When will the Pistons arrive for the game? Oh, they did show up. But they don't have a coach with them. For sure, Curry will blame the players tonight. But he himself has quit showing up. The Pistons could not run plays. A bunch of one on one stuff that went nowhere. More and more, you see the other team running sharp plays, and the Pistons appear not to have ever played a game in the same gym. Who did what? No Piston did anything. Nothing. West had a great shooting game for them, since we don't play any defense. What else to talk about. How about the fact Herrmann went 5-15 in this game. Curry runs into adversity, and he sends Herrmann out there to jack up shots the rest of the night. No working on plays. No giving guys like JMAX, Amir, Affflalo, some shot attempts. You know, the guys who actually play for us, and just might be able to use the in game practice? Herrmann is too slow to play in the NBA. Some sequences on defense were laughable as Herrmann tried miserably to make defensive rotations. For sure, he is not going to score if any decent team defends him. He is too slow to get open. Indeed, you know, of all the things Dumars has done wrong, letting this guy have a roster spot has to rank right up there with the worst of them. I see someone mentioned that Amir was plus in the game. So was Bynum. They were both plus 9, but that was all in extended garbage time. Thats about it. Detroit looked completely unprepared. Never had the slightest chance to win. But I will say this. With a decent coach, Cleveland can't match up with us. You may not want to believe this. But you know, we don't have to pair up two old men to start the game. Lets talk about that. Who in the heck was Dyess guarding to start the game? Ben Wallace? Do you need a center in the game to guard Ben Wallace. Of course not. And this is why Curry should be fired. He can't see simple things like this. His latest starting lineup is horrid, and must cease if we are to win another game this season. And one last thought. The excuse machine. The excuse for this latest craziness from Curry is slow starts (that never actually happened - as we were actually losing games in the 4th quarter.) Can anyone imagine worse starts than we have been having since he put Dyess in to start game. Of course not. But Curry will never mention it. Guaranteed. Unless he uses it as an excuse to start Rip and bench Stuckey.
Did 3 pt shooting help the Cavs win? DET is one Bobby Jackson type player from turning this thing around. In all honesty, is there one team in the league that you could say with certainty that DET could beat now? I could have sworn there was a 4-5 possession stretch where DET had a violation or just got a shot off with a second left on the shot clock.
Will turn? We are already there. This is like Isaiah breaking his hand on Laimbeer's head umpteen years ago. The core quits, the backups stink, and next year is going to be teal, teal, aquamarine, and teal.
My turn. He called LB and asked for his agent's number. LB laughed, pulled out his catheter and shoved his phone down his pants.
What happened to the pod show?
It is canceled lee. The Low doesn't have the stamina for ranting tonight. Sorry.
when they normally go to them on fox sports he hadn't come out of the locker room yet.....
Hahaha... gotcha
So he expects us to keep all this rage inside? Ain't healthy. I guess I will go down in the basement and try a primal scream. Let me know if you hear it over there is Canada.
In honor of the Oscars... These millionaires are doggin it in the slums, ghetto and hi rent districts.. What is the curious case if Curry's Coaching? Is it to late Milk any more victories out of this bunch The Pistons were destined to lose this game no matter if it had been played on a day other than Sunday or even if Doris Burke had not been doing the color commentary. The players have quit, there is no hustle and they can barely score over 80 points. The season can only be salvaged with resignation or firing of MC Clueless. At least the players could learn to respect someone else instead of continually ignoring Curry for the next two months before being ousted in the first round. A new coach, whether it is Laimbeer, Avery, Van Gundy, D Walker or even Joe himself would at least reenergize these players so that they possibly pull that first round upset and attract a FA that actually wants to come here to win and not just to get paid.
The Pods!!?? Om MY GOD THEY'RE BACK!!! OOHH THE AGONY!! HELP US...SOMEBODY HELP US!!! PLEASE...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo.... and scene,...There's your POD show for tonight. Thank You. Please stopThank you..please sit down...
U left me wanting more!!! I like u ...I REALLY like u!
I'm drinking heavily.
Thanks Sally
Isn't that every game?
Did anyone expect them to win this? It was surprising how they was no attempt at trying to stop some of those easy 3's. Agree with Lee. There was no adequate preperation or planning in this one. Back to the tired old 3-man rotation up front. What happened to Stucky? Just a couple of weeks ago he out-played Wade.
Wow, the final score is much better than the way the Stones played. They quit right from the start, disgusting game to watch in terms of effort and heart. MC maybe bad, but the players have to show up and be accountable. Curry has lost this team.

Finally getting around to painting my sons helmet. Its one of T-Bones mini Fetts.
Here's what I have for you guys so far...
No primer pic, but here's the italian olive:
With some black misted Rustoleum royal blue that was left over from my Jango bucket:
Range finder... E-cookie for anyone that can tell me what I used instead of LED's:
Fast forward to finished base colors, with a light dull coat. The specs that you see on the cheeks is spider webbing from the Krylon burgandy... I can never get that color to spray without cracking, so I rely on my top coats to smooth it out.
I know the cheeks are still on the blue side, but I'll take care of that with my final misting/dry brushing:
Made some progress, obviously not going for accuracy but theres a representation of everything there. Needs some touching up on some parts of the silver. I'm using some nasty old crusty paint. Maybe one day I'll learn to buy new supplies per project, instead of using left overs.
I messed up the spacing on the left side, but I still think it looks pretty good. Gonna have to touch a bunch of stuff up, like the scratches to the right of the arrows. All in all though, I don't think its too bad for a kids bucket.
I'll being putting a couple more pics up (of all sides) in the next day or so, I think T-Bone wanted some for his gallery.

Health Information
RanitidineSkip to the navigation
Drug Information
Ranitidine is a member of the H-2 (histamine blocker) family of drugs, which prevents the release of acid into the stomach. Ranitidine is used to treat stomach and duodenal ulcers , gastroesophageal reflux disease, erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Ranitidine is available as a prescription drug and also as a nonprescription over-the-counter product for relief of heartburn .
Common brand names:Zantac, Zantac 150 Maximum Strength, Zantac 75
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Folic Acid
Folic acid is needed by the body to utilize vitamin B12 . Antacids, including ranitidine, inhibit folic acid absorption.1 People taking antacids are advised to supplement with folic acid.
Stomach acid may facilitate iron absorption. H-2 blocker drugs reduce stomach acid and are associated with decreased dietary iron absorption.2 People with ulcers may also be iron deficient due to blood loss and benefit from iron supplementation. Iron levels in the blood can be checked with lab tests.
Vitamin B12
Stomach acid is needed to release vitamin B12 from food so it can be absorbed by the body. H-2 blocker drugs reduce stomach acid and are associated with decreased dietary vitamin B12 absorption.3 The vitamin B12 found in supplements is available to the body without the need for stomach acid. Lab tests can determine vitamin B12 levels.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

Voters will decide whether 16 year-old Swiss youth can vote in Basel elections. Parliament voted clearly with 62 versus 39 in favor of such a motion and passed it on to the government. If passed, the sixteen year-ols would be allowed to vote on cantonal issues, but they would not be allowed to nominate themselves for public office. A goal of the move is to brdige differences and issues between generations by actively involving young people in the democratic process while still in secondary school.
One could raise many issues concerning the "maturity" of adolescents, but just look around at the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush mess that older people created for 300,000,000 people. It is difficult to imagine youth being more incompetent than what passes for "maturity" in the Bush administration. We suspect the normal range of intelligence in voting will be displayed by adolescents since they are not that far different than their elders.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by G-man, Jun 27, 2009.
Sheed needs a change of scenery to motivate. I would expect him to have a great year with the Magic.
Wasn't he fired from Houston after not teaching Yao anything?
You can't teach size...
Or bone density.
What can Sheed teach him? Honestly, it's been at least 3 years since Sheed even ventured into the post (and no, faceup jumpers and fadeaways in the post don't count)... how do we know he even has any moves?
I would not want to play against a renewed Sheed and Dwight Howard. Sheed's biggest weakness is his tendency to settle for 3's... which actually works right into Orlando's offense. On defense, nobody would be scoring from the post against these 2 and guards would have a tough time finishing as well. Sheed would be stripping and playing D without fouling while Dwight would be blocking everything up to the top of the backboard. Nelson Lewis/ Redick Carter/ Pietrus Sheed Howard This could be the best lineup in the league with the many of the guys having NBA Finals experience and confidence. Howard will come back hungrier and with a better understanding for what he needs to work on to play Championship basketball. I'm frightened.
Sheed can practically shut him down. His knowledge on defense would make Howard so much better. I think he still knows how to post up even if the last time he did it was in 1993 LOL
That's a championship team IMO. Althoughi'm hesitant to say that w/ Carter instead of Turkey, but still scary as hell.
will he respect VanGundy?
not to the same level but sorta how ben was able to roam around in 04 05.... would be a good fit for them at this point i'd think
Sheed the new John Wayne? As free agent period begins, Kidd, Bass are front, center | Mavericks/NBA | Star-Telegram.com Sheed doing the Texas two-step? Spurs & Dallas? Looks like Sheeds gonna make the most of his FA opportunity. Though with money scarce to have his pick of teams he better pick quick. No one can afford to sit on their hands waiting for too long without missing out on others in a scant market. Sheed & Duncan or Sheed & Dwight? If he goes to the Spurs will Dyess sign with Dallas? If he goes to Dallas will Dyess sign with the Spurs? Rockets may want McDyess

VO Campeur Frameset
"...were I forced to limit myself to a single bike, this may well be the leading candidate." Adventure Cyclist (July 2013 review)
The Campeur, as the name suggests, is a touring frame for paved, or unpaved, roads. It can carry a substantial load for long unsupported trips, yet handles beautifully even with no load. In fact it makes a nice gravel racer.
Here are some of the highlights and specs:
- 4130 double butted chrome-moly frame and fork.
- 1" fork with lovely French-style bend. Uses a traditional quill stem (or adapter and threadless-style stem)
- 700c wheel size for 51cm-63cm sizes. 26" wheel size for 47cm and 49cm.
- 135mm rear spacing.
- Clearance for 38mm tires with fenders.
- Canti brake bosses. Seatstay cable stop with adjuster.
- Vertical dropouts with double eyelets front and rear.
- Fender bosses under fork crown, at seat stay bridge, and at chainstay bridge for easy fender mounting.
- Three water bottle cage mounts.
- Lowrider through bosses and seatstay rack eyelets.
- Pump peg (on size 57-63cm). Rear dropouts on 51-55cm are designed slightly differently, but still have 2 eyelets.
- Kickstand plate, because touring bikes should stand up.
- Metal head badge.
The frame geometry chart can be found at this link.
A brief comparison of the frame and other VO frames can be found at this link.
A nice "after 1500 miles" customer review can be found here.
A review of the Campeur by Adventure Cyclist magazine can be found here.
Includes frame and 1" threaded fork. Headset not included.
Here is what you, or your mechanic, need to know when building up the frame: The headset is 1" threaded (ISO), canti brakes, BB is standard ISO (or British) with a spindle length to match your choice of crank, 27.2mm seat post, it takes a 28.6mm clamp size front derailleur, 135mm rear spacing, 50-52mm fenders with 35-38mm tires.
If you are getting a VO Headset or Bottom Bracket along with your frame, you can get them installed for a reasonable fee. Labor for Headset Installation and Labor for Bottom Bracket Installation.
Any components ordered by retail customers at the same time as the frame will be discounted by 10%; this reduction will be made when we process your order and will appear on your final shipping confirmation/invoice.
Note: this is an oversized item, so our free shipping promotion does not apply. But your shipping cost will never exceed $22 for orders to the contiguous US. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, military addresses, and overseas will be quoted separately. Due to size restrictions, we can't send frames to certain countries (at least not at reasonable cost).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I also might add if your sore after some serious terrain park riding using skins or other compression gear back home to recover really does help. Huge difference the next day. If your just cruising and riding low key its overkill but if your mountain side for a weekend straight breaking out compression gear for a few hours at home relaxing is really recommended. I should note that I'm a head instructor in the Midwest and usually spend my days and weekends mon stop riding and homesly compression gear keeps me going after a hard weekend or busy lesson times. It's worth every penny but it does take a bit to get used to , on to bunching I've had bunching issues with cheap comp gear but UA therman and skins do a really good job and holding form and not moving up or bunching. Just my two sense.
New member - been snowboarding since 87 yeah I'm old. I hated compression gear until I got use to it and being in te upper age group, I don't go riding without eithe UA pr my set of skins gear. Defiantly reduces fatigue at the end of the long day let alone the warmth factor.
I used to use UA thermal
But Two years
Ago I sported the extra cash to spring for both top and bottom skins a200 thermal. It's helped with both my knee injuries and muscle soreness. I wouldn't ride without it. Now I won't go riding with just the skins and nothing else but a pair of skins pants and long sleeve compression shirt keep me fatigue free. I was a total skeptic on the stuff and now I don't go without it. Skins is on the pricier side of the spectrum but for durability I've had excellent luck and money well spent.
I do like UAs think 2.0 thermal
As well on the really cold days.

I bought a pair of UA Base 1.0 leggins. They fitted me fine, but there was a problem: every time I crouched down in them (as if on a landing or something when boarding), they would go down. So I returned them.
The reason I bought them in the first place was because the boxers I wore last season kept sliding up my waist and it was a hassle to get them back down again. I just want something that stays where it is! Sometime I just can't win.
...Until now. Compression shorts ($10 from Walmart) + sweat pants for cold days (also $10 from Walmart) = finally, an ultimate base layer that stays in place!
The best part is that on warm slushy days I can just go without the sweat pants.
You save $35. You get removable layer. It stays in place. You get happy face.
Quite simple, really.
I know- old thread
I predict it's going to look something like this:

The compression fit only rides up if you are wearing the wrong size, you're probably going up one size, which most people like to do. You probably don't understand how tight our compression is made to be. It's skin tight and shouldn't move in most circumstances. If you fall and slide on your stomach down a hill the friction will probably make it ride up. I guarantee you in terms of moisture wicking, while also keeping you warm, there are hardly any superior compressions being made. In my opinion the only real argument is merino wool vs under armour which is a very legit argument. You are probably just trying to bash the brand because you had one bad experience. Have you even worn the more recent thermals UA has come out with. Maybe next time you should try the new fitted mocks, they're not as tight so you won't have to deal with the skin tight feel. Also, the heat gear compression is made to quickly wick off the moisture so you're not wicked wet while working out or playing sports in hot weather. Most people usually wear a looser shirt over their heat gear compression, unless you're a V-neck wearing bro who loves to take his shirt off and tries to show off to the other guys at the gym. Here's a rundown of what the material is designed to do: Tight compression to help the lactic acid in your muscles, and skin tight feel to bring the moisture to the outside of the material where it can dry faster.
In regards to the thermal vs compression, they're both good, I have pairs of both, it really just has to do with what fit you like. The base layers are fitted so they won't be really tight, but might not be as good in wicking the sweat off cuz they aren't always right on your skin like the compression mocks. From what I see, people seem to love them both.
|also, lactic acid has no place in snowboarding unless you're riding at a very high intensity for ~75 seconds at a time
|compression actually helps your muscles out in a big way and yo don't need to be an elite athlete to notice. The compression supports your muscles, so they're not moving around and using energy to support themselves as much, leaving more energy to be used on the activity at hand, meaning less fatigue early on and your day will last longer

How many people would use an already running short block?
or dingle ball one in their garage to build an engine?
How many people insist that torque plate honing helps 20-30 hp?
How many people insist that fuzz brushing cylinder walls helps 10 hp?
How many people insist that low tension rings adds 10+ hp?
How many people insist that full circle rings adds 10-20 hp?
How many people insist that if you have dome pistons that contouring helps 20-30 hp?
How many people would use a "jessel" and find exactly what the engine wants?
For the arithmetic challenged
455 x 90% = 409.5
That's 45, not 80 hp
Generalizations are just that, generalizations.
ive seen quite a few N/A 347s dyno and they are usually quite dissapointing.
Even some of the well put together ones.
I know of a local 306 running around with AFR heads a good intake setup and a very healthy solid roller.
It makes about 300whp through a T5 and a 8.8. Pretty sad if you nask me.
|old fords
|I thought about building a 347 stroker with afr 185's and about 12 to 1 compression. If it got about 450hp I would be more than satisfied
If you don't know how to get the "minor details" right, and many people don't(or don't even know what they are), then ScoT is pretty close, maybe 20 HP overboard.
That's the difference between "engine builders" and "engine assemblers". Assemblers can get it together , but usually only Builders can make the big power. F-Bird, I'm sure you already know this
I think that is a legitiment number.
Bare in mind there is a LOT more to making horse power than throwing a bunch of specific parts together and hooking it to a dyno.
There is 20-30 hp difference in the honing jobs done on cylinder walls.
There is 10-20 hp difference in the rings that are used. full circle?
Piston crown detailing makes up to 30 hp difference on many engines.
We know that thin synthetic oil is good for 1 1/2 % more power, instantly.
Then you use a Jessel drive and get the cam timing perfect for what the combination wants,
change pushrods to find any harmonic unbalance and get the best numbers.
Lot of "minor" details done by skilled craftsmen add up to more hp than what can be duplicated by the hot rod masses.
You can bet your money that the AFR engines are detailed to the max in every way, shape, form, and fashion.
Realisticly IMO if most of us put together the identical parts list we would be doing good to get 90% of the stated figure.
|Tany Mamo is a good guy and really knows his stuff but I think when it comes to the LTX and GEN 1 stuff, they are just resting on their laurels.
Opti... thats the exact porter I'm using; advanced induction. Nice heads, and I agree. Their published timeslips tell the truth; power and torque under the curve is what wins the race.
Oh... and on the topic of customer service, those AFRs that I mentioned with the CNC cut too deep on one side of the chamber and untouched on the other? They refused to accept them for return. I had to drive the heads up there, show them what was wrong, and then they offered to refund me minus a 30% restocking fee - which brings up two very murky things. Either they intended on putting them back on the shelf for some other poor soul, or they were just going to junk them and soak me for 30%. I had to get a lawyer, so when it comes to customer service? Don't ask ME about it.
The Lt1 owner is completely right. AFR isnt what it used to be. They used to be awesome but when they went to make their LT1 heads they just transfered over a slightly modified SBC. The LTX AFRS blow. Especially for the money.
The onyl LTX AFRs worth buying are the 227cc and only the guys doing all out builds are buying those and about 99% of them are having them shipped out for more port work.
A ported stock casting is a far better head for the money for the LTx crowd, and flow numbers dont mean jack.
People like Advanced Induction are doing good work with ported stock castings. Hows 500whp out of a 355 on an LTX manifold sound?
Go to advancedinduction.com
And the other ones, the LT4 raised runner AFRs are apparently a huge ***** and ALOT of money to get setup properly.
I have seen some pretty weak things from AFR lately and there are alot better choices out there.
Their LSX castings are pretty darn good but people are doing the same things with ported 5.3 heads. About the only good things I have to say are their 205cc LSx heads have some great mid lift numbers.
|Stock Ford 302 blocks will hold together for awhile with 450 hp, push it to 500 hp and expect it to split right in half down the lifter gallery. I wouldn't push a stock 302 block more than 400 hp if you want any kind of life out of the engine. This is why Ford Motorsports makes the beefed up 302 blocks and World makes a even better 302 block. It is very easy to make too much hp for a stock 302 and have it spit parts everywhere.
|I am no expert but I myself would look at those numbers as pretty high. about 50 to high.
flow numbers are just a number, you can make any head flow great numbers but will it make your car faster? when you get your LT1 heads compare them to the AFR'S. let us know if they actually flow the same with the same port velocity. i think you will be suprised, and find that the AFR is a far better head.
The AFR 180's are for your grandma's car, I'm talkin' real manly heads in the 210cc+ range. The two sets we tested on a SF-600 bench were within
1 1/2% of what AFR said they were.
I have used AFRs several times before because I always heard they were the best, but I was ALWAYS disappointed in the performance. Their flow to port volume ratios aren't anything to write home about, and they tend to inflate flow numbers. Put them on a bench yourself and you'll probably find they don't flow nearly as much as AFR claims.
Having toured their facility several times, I can see why. Their CNC machine is older than dirt, and their port models are getting old; as in last updated in the early 90s for most traditional blocks from what I understand.
AFRs are fine heads and they perform great, but I think they make most of their money by publishing big claims and hoping that the person who buys it doesn't actually know what HP feels like. They seem a bit "boutique" to me; all claim and not much game. One of the sets I had, the CNC machine dug way too fast and too deep into one side of the chamber and totally missed the other side. The fact that they screwed up is human, but to miss it during inspection, or to actively send it to me anyway knowing it was messed up just turned my stomach.
Any time you see over 2 hp per CI in a stroker block, you can pretty much bet you're looking at a shortblock that is in the 5-figure range.
... and, no, it won't hold together, nor will it make any power until 5000 rpm. And it will idle at 2000.
Put it this way... I'm currently building an LT1 383 stroker. For $2700 I could have AFR 180s... BUT, instead I'm going to spend $1800 on custom CNC ported LT1 heads that flow as much actual air (not advertised) as the AFR 180s, and that 18 bills also gets me titanium retainers, pacalloy beehive springs, 2.02/1.6 valves, and an F1-spec TIR < .00012" valvejob with Manley stainless ProFlos AND (the big one) my choice of a custom made, hardened billet roller cam.
I strongly suggest looking to other avenues. If you're rich and you want the prestige of AFR's name to wow the guys at the cruise-in, go for it. If you want to go fast and your name isn't Midas, look elsewhere.
|The AFR's really are that good. You only have to run a pair to know that they are the best thing short of a custom $3500 pro ported head.

Well I do like watching Drake/Josh when my daughters not about
And In the night garden
What Not to Wear
JK. Kid Rock is ok.
PS - I also watch "Sell This House" because although Tanya Memme is annoying, I enjoy the snark of Roger Hazard, her bear of a designer.
I have a collection of Tiggers that's embarassingly large.
OMG!!! My 19 year-old daughter and I luuuuuuuv In the Night Garden! Her fav is Makka Pakka. Mine are Iggle Piggle and the Pinky Ponk.
^ Ok, since we're coming out of the closet re: our love of children's TV programming:
"Stanley" on Playhouse Disney is friggin' awesome!
No reason for Buffy to be a guilty pleasure - that show rocked!
Judge Judy .
I thought I was the only one who loved this show, despite not being close to the target audience. I think the Toombly-boos (sp?) are hilarious, especially when they make kissing noises. This is easily my guiltiest pleasure .
I absolutely love "The Avatar" (the Last Airbender) cartoon on Nick. It is NOT the blue Avatar of the big screen but a martial arts themed show that is suprising realistic (with the martial arts). I can watch a marathon all day with DD (who is a black belt)
I lurve bad movies like Showgirls, Who's That Girl? and The Bodyguard. Especially the latter, as I'm obsessed with Whitney's bad acting. Speaking of obsessed, I lurve to watch Obsessed with Beyonce. She's actually worse than Whitney .
OMG, I have watched Showgirls twice...I actually love the acting!
I also loved Vampires Suck, voted Worst Movie of 2010.
frozen pizza
Jim Cantore
Big Time Rush
This thread is awesome.
Favourite kid's show: Pocoyo (Link to best episode ever)
Other guilty YouTube pleasures:
Potter Puppet Pals
Lego Darth Vader takes a Personal Day
Engineer's Guide to Cat Series - especially the more specific one on Cat Yodeling
- Smoking Gun Presents World's Dumbest _________" (criminals, partiers, daredevils, etc.). Totally mindless drivel highlighting total idiots, complete with commentary by the likes of Danny Bonaduce, Tonya Harding , Leif Garrett, Todd Bridges, several B-rate comedians, and the like.
- Reruns of Roseanne - up through Season Five. After that, the show went to hell in a handbasket.
- Caramel rice cakes with buttercream icing spread on top
- Coconut gelato with chunks of pineapple
Heh me too. I am excited that there's going to be a sequel.
Have you ever watched Boohbah? Now that's a trip, lol!

I call for immediate banishment!
I couldn't agree more! I love that show, wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure at all. It was brilliant until, as you said, season 5 then bleh...
Lindt 60% Extra dark truffles
B Giallo and Horror -movies and cheesey 1930s and 1940s murder mystery movies
Telenovelas ::
I guess I can say the same for my Donald Duck and Mickey Sorcerer (plus the broom with buckets) collection.
Suddenly my Jonas Bros. crush doesn't seem so tragic.
Hey I was just joking,eh? There are certainly much less talented acts out there than Justin. Though not a fan I don't run away screaming if I accidentally hear one of his songs.
At least he was always into music and actually composes and sings strongly. There are a lot of so-called singers out there who couldn't write a song to save their lives and have barely passable singing voices. They are really just manufactured "stage acts" with totally forgettable voices that are so heavily overproduced I am sure you couldn't recognize them if they sang a capella.
I'm pretty sure we don't want them to sing a capella or without help. :screams: Though a few of them sound better live, like Lady Gaga. You'd never know it from some of her songs, but live, she can SING.
Britney Spears could genuinely sing when she was younger. She had a low, soulful, jazz-like voice. I wonder now if she still can sing but sounds the way she does because that's what sells or if she's one of those unfortunate people that lost their voice with maturity.
Here's a partial list:
Pawn Stars
Say Yes to the Dress
This website: http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/
Chocolate Chai
LOL I'm in that camp. too. I also thing Dog's son, Leiland (from Dog the Bounty Hunter) is smokin' hot. What is wrong with me?
Other guilty pleasures include:
-The Bachelor
-Toddlers & Tiaras
-Little Miss Perfect
-Nancy Grace...She is so over the top that I love it. I think I'm like her #1 fan. I'm so ashamed!
Also, not really a guilty pleasure, but something I should probably be embarrassed to admit here is that I named my daughter after a skater.
Well, they say confession is good for the soul.
Pretty Little Liers
Vampire Dairies
A lot of M&M's
Celtic Thunder
And my 20 year old crush on John Bon Jovi.
You and me both! My husband has just come to accept my infatuation. Jon has kept himself in such good shape...Richie has kinda fallen apart. I can't count how many times I've seen him in concert

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Florida and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
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. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Green Bay Welcomes Southern Illinois on Saturday Night
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - For the first time in three weeks and just the third time in 2012-13, Green Bay plays on its home floor at the Resch Center on Saturday night, hosting Southern Illinois at 7 p.m. The Phoenix, the only Horizon League team to have played just two home games this season, kicks off a four-game homestand and will play eight of its next 10 games in Green Bay.
In conjunction with the game, the first 1,000 youth fans will receive a Titanium Phoenix Necklace presented by Baylake Bank. The contest will mark the first Festival Foods Family Game of the season, with adult tickets starting at just $8 and youth tickets starting at only $7. Hot dogs and small sodas will also be sold for just $1. After the game, the Phoenix players will welcome youth fans to the floor for Free Throws with the Phoenix and to sign autographs.
Southern Illinois and the Phoenix have met four times but the Salukis will be playing in Green Bay for the first time. SIU holds a 3-1 series edge and is making a return trip after Green Bay visited Carbondale in 2010-11 for a BracketBusters contest. In that game, the Phoenix fell 61-60 on Feb. 19, 2011. Only five players from either team that played in that game are on the current rosters - Green Bay juniors Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.), Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) and Daniel Turner (McCordsville, Ind.) and SIU's Kendal Brown-Surles and Diamond Taylor.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans in the seats or those unable to attend Saturday's will be able to follow the action in numerous ways on Saturday night. The game will be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM/1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call with Cordero Barkley. Live stats and live video will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. HOME SWEET HOME: Green Bay is 2-0 at home this season with wins over Chicago State and North Dakota State back in November. In the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, the Phoenix is 24-6 at the Resch Center, including a 14-2 mark since the start of the 2011-12 season. Sykes, who is averaging 15.8 points per game, is averaging 26 points per game and has made 21-of-23 free throws at home this year.
2. SYKES SANS SOPHOMORE SLUMP: Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) has picked up where he left off in 2011-12, avoiding the dreaded sophomore slump in the process. Sykes has reached double figures in eight of nine games this season and dating back to his freshman campaign has scored 10 or more in 23 of the past 26 games. Still 18 years old until Dec. 30, the Chicago native is averaging 15.1 points per game in 26 contests as an 18-year old.
3. WELCOME TO THE RESCH: All four of the Green Bay opponents on the current homestand will be making their first visits to the Resch Center. Wardle's alma mater, Marquette, will visit Green Bay for the first time in 11 meetings on Wednesday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. Games against two first-time opponents - South Dakota (Dec. 22) and Illinois-Springfield (Dec. 30) - will wrap up the homestand later this month.
• ROAD TRIPPIN': Wednesday night's game at Wisconsin was the last non-conference road game for a Green Bay until a BracketBuster contest in late February. The contest also ended a stretch of seven of nine games away from home to start the season. The Phoenix has played road games in five different states and traveled over 4,000 miles during a 35-day stretch with just one home game.
• CHARITY CASE: The charity stripe has been kind to the Phoenix this season as Green Bay ranks second in the Horizon League and 29th nationally in free throw percentage (.759). The Phoenix has connected on 31 more made free throws than its opponents and has three players shooting over 85 percent. Cerroni has yet to miss in 16 attempts, senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) has made 18-straight free throws (29-33, 87.9%), and sophomore Keifer Sykes is 35-of-40 for 87.5 percent.
• OLD FOR 18: Sykes entered the 2012-13 season as a starting point guard and a team captain. He entered as a Preseason All-Horizon League Second-Team. He entered the year after a season in which he scored 335 points (most by a Phoenix freshman since Bennett) and was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team. Amazingly, he also entered as an 18-year old, and he will stay that way until Dec. 30 when Green Bay hosts Illinois-Springfield. After playing his first 13 games at age 17, Sykes is now averaging 15.1 in 26 games as an 18-year old.
• FAST START FOR THE FROSH: Wardle started a true freshman in the opener for the third-straight season, and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has made it look like a great decision. The 6-foot-7 Fouse is averaging 4.9 points and leads the team in rebounds (7.1), steals (1.2) and blocks (1.2) through nine games. He has led the team in rebounding in five times.
• SECOND CHANCES: Green Bay has hit the offensive glass extremely hard this season, grabbing 27 more offensive rebounds than its opponents. Led by Fouse's 21, Green Bay has four different players with 10 or more offensive rebounds (Cougill-20, Brown-19, Mays-14). The Phoenix corralled 11 at Wisconsin and have tallied 10 or more offensive rebounds in seven of nine games this season. The offensive rebounds have turned into a 109-85 edge in second chance points.

Pick 5 packages and single-game tickets are on sale now with the Green Bay Athletics Ticket Office. For more information and to order tickets, please call 920.465.2625, visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center or access GreenBayPhoenix.com/tickets.

Starter Kit
My friend Teresa recently asked for a list of essential items for making chocolate in a home kitchen. "Not a problem" I replied and set out to put together a short "Chocolate Making Starter Kit." What began as a short and simple list quickly grew into a long list of items I can't live without when making chocolate in my home kitchen. Here are my lists. The first is the Basic Starter Kit. The second list features other items I can't live without. And the third list consists of additional items I use but didn't photograph.
Basic Starter Kit
- Callebaut Dark Chocolate 811NV (12.50 euros at Colruyt)
- Plastic Mixing Bowl (5 euros @ Chocolate World)
- Chocolate Mold (16 euros @ Chocolate World)
- Digital thermometer ($10 @ Amazon.com)
- Box of 100 Plastic Piping Bags (17 euros @ Chocolate World)
- Chocolate Scraper (6 euros @ Chocolate World)
- Pallet Knife (7 euros @ Chocolate World)
Items I Can't Live Without
|Palette Scrapers and Knife
I like to have several different shapes and sizes.
|Plastic Scrapers
These are for scraping bowls and cleaning chocolate off the table and floor. I like to have many on hand in different shapes and sizes.
|Plastic Spatulas
One can never have too many spatulas. They come in different sizes and styles. For making fillings, be sure to have some that are silicon and can be used with hot liquids.
|Plastic Chocolate Stirring Spoons
These long and flat spoons were made for stirring chocolate without producing air bubbles.
|Plastic Containers for Filling Piping Bags
I use a plastic pitcher or pasta storage container as a stand for filling piping bags with tempered chocolate. This makes it easier to fill the bag up with chocolate for filling and capping moulds.
A key tool for tempering chocolate at home is a thermometer especially if your home kitchen is like mine where I cannot keep the room at a constant or consistent temperature (one entire wall of my kitchen is a window resulting in the room temperature fluctuating with the weather). There are many different kinds of thermometers on the market. One can use a simple meat thermometer (you need a thermometer that can read low temperatures). Digital thermometers with long probs are nice because they work well in large bowls. My favorite thermometer is my infrared thermometer. You just point and read the temperature; No need to insert anything.
|Digital Scale
Making fillings for molded chocolate requires precise measuring. To do this one needs a digital scale. The scales come in different shapes and styles. One need not be fancy, just accurate.
|Micro fiber dish cloths –
I use these to wipe down the molds, spatulas, scrapers, and even my hands. I like to use micro fiber because the cloth won't scratch the molds or tools
|Trash Can
I like to have my trash can near to my working area. However, I don't need a large trash can out in my kitchen all the time. The answer is a colaspable container. I use a child's laundry basket from IKEA.
|This is what it looks like collapsed
|Here is what it looks like with a garbage bag inside.
Additional Items not Shown
- Extra plastic bowls – One can never have too many plastic bowls around.
- Blow dryer or hot air gun – This is to reheat the chocolate and/or warm up the molds.

Needs more gold to be really classy.
Tasteful? No.
Wholly appropriate? Yes.
Read Mansory. Saw . Leaving satisfied.
Maybe without the gold accents.
Incredibly tacky.
Creep my new instagram - Chrispluscars
yeah it would look better without the gold.
Do I like it? No, not my style. Would I drive it?
Brought to you by the same people responsible for abominations such as this...
Mansory is certainly not about subtlety. I kind of like their Aston...
"Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection"
I don't mind the unpainted carbon fiber but all of the gold has to go. Gross.
Man, sorry (about your car)
Would still drive it for $100k
Oh wow a car completely wrapped in carbon fiber. So clever!!!!11!1!!
.. and we have some serious beak action rolling up in here.
"Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection"
I wonder what made them say "Hey, let's leave these covers silver"
How can I start a company where I do stupid **** to stupidly expensive cars? Doesn't look like it takes much creativity.

That may be the first Veyron I've seen that I didn't like any aspect of the styling at all.
Production on the highest technical level combined with masterly craftsmanship and most precious materials this is the quality standard of the MANSORY corporations. Harmonically designed aerodynamics programmes, ultra-light aluminium rims and powerful engine performance enhancements are the basis of the MANSORY technology programme. High-quality accessories and stylish interior fittings complete the assortment. Whether dynamically striking or extravagant and noble, MANSORY interiors render comfort and confidence.
Looks very sheikh
Sent from a place using a thing
I am sure it will end up in Saudi Arabia. No worries here.
so wait, did they wrap CF over CF?
factory does exposed carbon MUUUUCH better....

Can somebody explain why you have to use the scirocco intake mani?
Can somebody explain why you have to use the scirocco intake mani?
Puts throttle body on driver side, all other 16v manifolds put it on passenger side. Makes for a easy hook-up to factory parts, boost tubes isv ect.
That's what I thought it was used for. Seems like it creates more problems than its worth just to keep a few stock parts. throttle body on the ps would make a front mount piping a lot easier. I've contemplated building a 16vg60 since I got my Corrado years go. Now I think I'm finally gonna jump in
Yes, it would but there is no way to t-body adapter on there as, it hits the strut tower, and is a weird angle.
this thread is about to get a kick start
i would love to do this with my golf, but there are some drawbacks for me
i've got most the parts to do it, the real pain would be the exhaust manifold. it would be too pricy to get one custom made, and getting a Limited manifold just won't happen
sometimes it sucks having a syncro
16vG60 syncro on MS would be fun in the winter
just save more money. don't not do it just because of a manifold. took me 3 years to save up and buy parts for my syncro 16vt project, but i had a kid and it went on the back burner.
either way it will be done when it gets done. motors in and engine management wired soon. most of plumbing done. I found a guy that did a manifold for my syncro for pretty cheap. log style but still. people out there make them, and i got in done in the US. If someone had the specs here, someone has it over seas for sure
I'm building my 16VT for 5 years now...
It's gonna have all I want, or nothing.
Does anybody have a set of water pump and power steering pulley spacers they don't need? I can't find any and BBM doesn't carry them anymore.
i think somebody should make a VWMS 16vG60 limited exhaustmanifold replica
mine 1.8 16vG60
hiya guys,
if anyone has got a Bosch FPR B280 500 844, or /and a VWM 16v-g60 bypass hose left, please pm me.
best regards Ad
p.s. Tezet is making awsome exaust for those who are looking for one.
da fuuuuuck... how did you come by this? does more of them exist?
Sorry, it's a one-off. I'm not certain I'll use it however. My 16V G60 syncro uses a Scirocco exhaust manifold bolted to a modified Rallye DP. Just looking at the Scirocco manifold, I think it might flow better than the fabbed up one. I need to investigate this further, just haven't had the time lately...
please do the manifold is mainly what keeps me back from doing this, the rest is easy to come by (atleast here in europe)
a kit from Huber Rennsport isnt very expensive, and contains the bracketry and a SRI intake (if you don't go with the scirocco style inlet)
What is so special about the manifold besides being clocked to clear the angle drive?
I have been looking for an ABF manifold for sometime with no luck.
That's about it... you either need a custom exhaust manifold or a custom down pipe. No factory pieces to make it work aside from the VWMS exhaust manifold used on the Limited.
I gotta say tho, the shop that modified my Rallye DP to work with the Scirocco 16V exhaust manifold and tie into the twin cats didn't have much trouble with it, and it came out great...
Heads up..., we are planning a sale on the last of our BBM 16v ltd. packages early next year.
Will be under $1k or 200-300 $$$ off
Happy Holidays from all of us at BBM

Learn About Integrating UPS Developer Kit APIs
1. What are APIs?
UPS Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are programming instructions and standards for accessing and integrating UPS functionality into e-commerce websites or enterprise applications. These complex technologies are designed to meet the needs of customers who require maximum flexibility during integration. APIs require internal or external Information Technology (IT) developers to write XML code in order to integrate within a customer's systems. Three types of APIs exist all using Extensible Markup Language (XML). The first type of API uses straight XML; the second type uses Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Service Definition Language (WSDL), and the third type uses Java Script Object Notation (JSON).
In addition to the actual API transaction developers need to translate the XML into internal system code that will be receiving the data from the API whether it's a Graphic User Interface (GUI) or to another computer system. There are more than 100 different coding languages which includes languages like; PHP, Perl, C#, C++, and Java.
By integrating UPS transportation functionality like Rating, Shipping or Tracking directly into your enterprise business applications and e-commerce website, your employees can become more efficient and your customers will benefit from an improved user experience. Possible business applications include:
Improve accuracy of orders with Street Level Address Validation, Rating or Time in Transit APIs.
Automate fulfilment and global shipping processes with Collection, Shipping and UPS TradeAbility
Customer Service:
Provide visibility to customers and your customer service centre with Quantum View
, Rating, Tracking, UPS Signature Tracking
and Locator APIs.
View a List of Available UPS APIs
2. Who do I consult for expertise?
Once you've made your decision that you want to integrate UPS APIs, you will need to consult a technical team who is proficient in XML/Web Service coding.
Look for either an in-house development team or a third-party integrator. An in-house developer is an internal IT resource employed by your company who has the expertise to integrate the APIs. A third-party integrator is an external resource who you contract with to integrate the APIs for your company. You should request references and referrals before contracting with a third-party integrator. Both types of developer will receive technical support directly from UPS. One difference is that during the registration and certification process, an in-house developer can handle this independently, but the third-party integrator must register and certify the APIs on your company's behalf.
3. What should I consider before getting started with API downloads?
Although the APIs offered by UPS are available at no charge, you should consider the time and resources that your company needs to integrate the APIs into your business systems. This cost could be moderate or substantial based on multiple variables. Before you get started, carefully examine the
Steps for Planning API Integration
to help your company determine expense and length of development.
View Steps for Planning API Integration
If your company has made the choice to build an API solution, provide your in-house developers or third-party integrators with easy-to-follow instructions on how to access UPS APIs.

Adventure Time!
Finn never looked so tasty. Considering that he never looked tasty in his previous forms.
Ahh an adventure time joke :-( how disappointing the thumbnail made it look like the tea bag was screaming because it was about the be boiled alive, and I thought the text might have been a little drippy too. Ohh well maybe next time.
Exuberant! And a little splashy.
I have never been a huge tea drinker.. Until today.
Now I will proudly sip, pinkie extended, thanks to Finn and his adorably jacked up cartoon smile.
I haven't kept up with cartoon characters since I stopped working at Toys R Us. Honestly the first cartoon character I thought of in relation to this tea bag was Spongebob. And then I involuntarily shuddered.
Having to listen to that theme song day in and day out on as part of an advertisement video loop playing in the department across the way will do that to you.
Hmmmm interesting how the # of votes (561) are revealed for "Let it Tea" but "Tea Time" still has a "?".....hope the correct design was listed
Question for the British gents and ladygents...
Is 5 o'clock, as pictured on the shirt, an acceptable tea time?
Pardon the pun but it's more like part-tea time.
dsaiz11 wrote:Hmmmm interesting how the # of votes (561) are revealed for "Let it Tea" but "Tea Time" still has a "?".....hope the correct design was listed
As of last week, votes only matter for first place. The other two winners are chosen by the Woot editors and a guest judge.
Regarding the design, this might work for a derby on "Debased American Practices." In England they know that you need to pour boiling water over the tea leaves, whether loose or bagged. Dunking a tea bag into a cup of water that's already been poured and has had a chance to cool isn't going to get you very far.
What time is it?!
YESSS! I am so excited this printed!!
Ah Is that Mr.Teatime, it's pronounced Teh-ah-tim-eh
Teatime, it's pronounced Teh-ah-tim-eh
Good point. I've reported it. Not sure it'll be fixed though with the weekend.

Re: part-tea
Thank you! It's been awhile since any new additions have been placed in my Sniglet Dictionary! .....LOL
Good job! Donna
Oh my glob! No way!
Where's Jake?
ThunderThighs wrote:Good point. I've reported it. Not sure it'll be fixed though with the weekend.
it's not going to be fixed until they change the derby to the new format on a permanent basis, because they'd have to change it back anyway.
"bares"? Unless there's some underoo action going on...
I might get this if it were a prettier color and the tea cup were decorated.
Most of the shirts this week have been gray.
Alright! I had never watched Adventure Time before this week but I was really hoping this would print. Will buy. Nice work, editors! Congrats Naolito!
greyhound989 wrote:"bares"? Unless there's some underoo action going on...
Well, technically, the tea bag isn't wearing clothes...unless the bag itself counts?
I'm not one to comment much, but I feel I should bring this up. There was definitely a 'Coffee Time x Adventure Time' cross on Teefury, but Jake was a coffee mug and Finn was a disposable cup. I'm not sure if it's pure coincidence that I discovered that shirt's existed today or the fact that I just came from a Mario Party drinking party for N64, but my mind is blown.
A dilemma. I love tea but I hate tea bags!
Great design and an excellent job emulating the style of the cartoon. It's just I don't know anything about said show. Is it as funny as Sponge Bob?
This the greatest tea shirt of all the tea shirts in all the lands. My God, thank you.
Adventure Time is one of the best shows on tevision and is pure insanity. Its awesome cannot be compared to stupid poorly animated crap like sponge bob. It's on cartoon network and is more adult/teenager oriented. It should be watched and loved by all.

I lift my cuppa to you! It's so rare I run across someone who knows the marvelousness of Discworld.
You know, I shouldn't be buying anything. My fiancee and I have enough t-shirts.
But then you go and do something like this.
I've never bought anything with less rational thought.

Best. Response. Ever. ;)
If only there hadn't been text. And the odd shape of the tea bag.
No way I would buy this shirt because some people might think I was supporting the #go*%^&%!d teabaggers!
Tempted to buy this shirt for my wife, so I can wear my Coffee Time shirt from TeeFury and she can wear this one. Too bad Jake didn't make it into the shirt, though.
The only improvement I'd make would be a Jake-cup, otherwise, LOVE IT!

Ya, really. Not like you had a choice in the matter...oh, wait.
I think the derby automatically reveals the first, second, and then rest of the fog's votes on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday respectively. So "Tea Time" was editor's choice and thus second place but didn't have the second highest vote count ("Let it Tea." did) so it's number wasn't revealed even though it's for sale.
As other's have mentioned, this needs 2 characters and not just one. I have a hard time accepting this as an adventure time reference...

Exactly what I was thinking. The design in cute though. I like quirky cartoons but this one and a few of the other newer ones don't amuse much. I'm getting old. Hah.
Glad I'm not the only one that has that stuck in my head.
Congrats! I love Adventure Time and and even use their song as a ringtone. Great Fin-Tea design and great remodel of their logo!!
