Inauguration of the New Academic Year 2011 at St. Sophia Ukrainian Orthodox Theological Seminary!By Subdeacon Vasyl Pasakas
Another academic year began at St. Sophia Ukrainian Orthodox Theological Seminary with the celebration of the Archpastoral Divine Liturgy at the seminaryŌĆÖs Three Holy Hierarchs chapel.┬Ā
His Eminence Archbishop Antony and His Grace Bishop Daniel began a new chapter of the seminary academic year celebrating the Holy Mystery of Eucharist inviting the faithful of the Church to share in the learning experiences of the ChurchŌĆÖs Seminary. About a dozen of priests and deacons and dozens of faithful from parishes near and far gathered to pray with the hierarchs that the new academic year will be a successful one for all the students enrolled at the seminary with each opening heart and soul to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the example of the three educators/Fathers of the Church ŌĆō the patrons of their seminary chapel ŌĆō Sts. John Chrysostom, Bazyl the Great and Gregory the Theologian.┬Ā There are currently ten resident students enrolled at the seminary. There are an additional seven students enrolled in the St. Stephen Deaconate course conducted by the Antiochian House of Studies program, who may eventually enroll in the Graduate Study of Resident programs.┬Ā Our Church also has two additional resident students ŌĆō one each enrolled in St. Tikhon Seminary in South Canaan, PA and Holy Cross Seminary in Boston, MA.
The seminary Provost, Very Rev. Fr. Bazyl Zawierucha welcomed the seminarians back to their school home and invited everyone to participate in various liturgical and ministerial services of the Seminary.┬Ā He urged the faithful to keep the seminarians in their prayers during each day as they struggle through life in a society, which will continually tempt them in order to draw them away from their calling.┬Ā He thanked all those participating in the opening ceremonies and special prayers.
Bishop Daniel addressed the seminarians ŌĆ£to pray and study in the Seminary sacred precincts entering into an intimate relationship with Christ, the Only-begotten Son of God. This relationship produces spiritual maturity and gives produces that, which the Orthodox Christian world in general and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in particular,┬Ā are in need of during this 21st century ŌĆō Orthodox priests-pastors who are men of prayer, models of holiness, men in love with and devoted to the Gospel of life, which they are called upon to love and proclaim in season and out of season and the Eucharistic Christ, Whom they with trepidation hold in their hands at every Liturgy and distribute to the faithful who approach with awe, faith and love.ŌĆØ
In his words to the seminarians, Archbishop Antony greeted them in behalf of Metropolitan Constantine, the Rector of St. Sophia Seminary and addressed them with words of encouragement, stating that ŌĆ£throughout the SeminaryŌĆÖs almost four decades devoted to prayer and study, our Lord sent forth new witnesses, new heralds, who as Deacons, Priests and Bishops, the graduates of the seminary, continue to preach the Kingdom of God and repentanceŌĆ"The return of our seminarians from last year, together with the arrival of four new seminarians from Ukraine gives us the occasion to praise God for His ŌĆ£mighty actsŌĆØ in their lives. The fact, dear seminarians, that you have just come, or that you have come back, shows the action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit in the Church. Amidst many invitations and enticements in your lives you have felt an attraction to the priesthood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which is a pearl of great price, and with generous love you are here to pursue or to continue the discernment of your vocation. The action of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit are clearly at work in your lives.ŌĆØ
At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy His Grace Bishop Daniel introduced to the faithful of the Church the faculty of St. Sophia Ukrainian Orthodox Theological Seminary as well as the new seminarians: Yurii Andreiko, Mykola Kavchak, Ivan Chopko and Bohdan Melnykovych ŌĆō all four of them arrived to the United States from Lviv region of Ukraine and Adrian Mazur of Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in New York, NY. In addition to the five new seminarians, the ChurchŌĆÖs Theological School is blessed with the following seminarians: Subdeacons Vasyl Pasakas, Philip Harendza, Vasyl Dovgan, Andriy Matlak and Ioan Mazur.
Following the Divine Liturgy, the clergy, faithful and the seminarians shared in the Agape meal prepared by the staff of Ukrainian Cultural Center at the MetropoliaŌĆÖs spiritual headquarters.
The hierarchs and seminary staff expressed their deep gratitude to all the volunteers ŌĆō staff members of the Consistory and Seminary, who prepared a luscious feast for the celebration.
Please continue to pray for the group of students and for this new year.┬Ā Along with the rigors of academics we wish to develop them in their ministry and spiritual maturity.┬Ā Our donors are a key factor in the ongoing work of this theological institution.┬Ā If you wish to contribute, click on the ŌĆ£donateŌĆØ tab for more information.

Doc here,
If the module was not damaged in thermal cycles, It should hang in there.. If not you have a new spare.
One thing those testers can't add, is the added temp of the oil and engine heat transferring up the Dizzy shaft..(as high as 250 degrees..or the heat of the oil pump) They can only add the heat of the electrical load.
Keeps updated!
Well Doc, It's going for now. I just drove it around for about 15 min. after letting it get up to temp and no problem yet. I took the module out and took it to auto zone. checked it 9-10 times bad, got a new one ck 9-10 times good, KICKER, then they ck the one I took them again 9-10 time and it ck good, Got a little concerned so took it to another store again 9-10 time good. So I came back home took my old HEI apart and put that module on the new dizzy. Used that wells grease a fair amount ( more than was on it before but not too much ). Anyway, it's going for now and I have ran out of time today. I will get a new one, nice to have a spare. And there is nothing like original GM parts. THANKS so much for your help, but stand-by there may be more to come.
Street Rod Nationals in town next month and I want to be DRIVING not wrenching.
|Thanks Doc, I did'nt get to pull the dizzy today to check the module but will try tomorrow before work. I did check the coil primary and sec. while hot same results 00.7 and 11.5. also checked the charging system at around 2500 RPM a pretty steady 14.45 to 14.50 . That was taking the readings from the coil + to a known engine ground. I will also try the wire from batt to coil + , but I am sure it is wired correctly and no temp relays in the system. I do have a fan installed but its manual sw no relays. I thought of that today while checking the charging system and turned it on to see if it had any effect. When I first turned on the fan it dropped to about 14.10 then went back up to 14.45 and engine did not stall during that time. I will let you know on the module,, Thanks
Doc here,
Just out of curiosity, this wouldn't happen to be Dave's Small body HEI's would it?
Check the module yourself, It's the only thing that will go thermal on that system..It's not uncommon to get a bad run of them..
Other than that, make sure you didn't mis~wire the Coil + to something like a Fan Relay?? or something going on/off with a temp range..
Try running a direct wire from battery to Coil + and see if it happens again..that'll tell ya if it's thermal or wiring..
|Thanks Doc, When I sent the dizzy back to the manufacture he tested the module and magnetic pickup under heat conditions found them to be good but changed them both out anyway and retested. The manufacture is very knowledgeable and helpful. It was his idea to send it back so he could insure proper testing was done. That said, I will check it as you suggest but I also need to check everything I or anybody else can think of. The only other thing changed was the coil. Thanks Doc I will keep you informed. Its my last day off for a while so I'll get to work. I don't think I am suppose to drive this thing just work on it, oh thats hot rodding is'nt it. Thanks Doc
Doc here,
Pull the module and have it checked several times..be sure it's warm during test..
Sounds like the module is going thermal .. a very common problem..
If you need a new one, have it tested the same way before you leave..and installing either make sure you use the heat sink grease..of you'll be doing it again real soon!
stock HEI to Small body HEI now there's problems, need help Doc
I have read and read pervious post and already done a little trouble shooting but the bugs took over tonight.
I have a mild built 350 chevy in a 50 chevy truck. I had a stock HEI in it and it ran fine but had a firewall clearance problem so I changed to a small body HEI and ext. oil filled blaster 2 MSD coil. The problem is when the engine gets up to temp. it dies at idle, it will start right back up, run for 30-45 sec. then die again. Idle is set at about 750-800 (no tach). New wiring harness before changing dizzy and no ballast resistor in use. The dizzy was removed sent back to the manufacture, bench tested, placed in another vech. tested everything was fine. Got it back, dropped it in today, same problem. I had the coil checked before I sent the dizzy back and went today and bought a dig. volt meter and checked it again myself. 00.7 primary and 11.8 sec. I will check the charging system tomorrow for 14.2 to 14.6 volts as suggested by the manufacture of the dizzy. I will also get the engine up to temp. and check the coil while hot. A friend suggested I my have a vapor lock problem, I tend to rule that out because I never had one before. Sorry this is so long , But just looking for other thoughts, suggestions or perhapses a todo list from the Doc. Thanks for any input.

Hello everybody!
I am starting this thread to learn more about your mentoring experiences. Personally, I did some mentoring back when I was in CEGEP. It was not English mentoring, but rather French. I was paired with 2 students whom I had the responsability to evaluate their learning and help them improve in certain aspects of the language. It was a great experience! One of my students improved greatly when it comes to making less mistakes. When I first saw him, he made 41 mistakes in a 200 word text and after the mentoring, he did a second dictation and made only 15 mistakes. This was a significant improvement and I was proud of him.
I am sure you guys probably did some mentoring as well at some time in your lives. I would like to know more about your experiences!
Thank you !
Samuel C.

Tunnel trouble ahead
November 15, 2012
The start of a large-scale highway project at the Twin Tunnels expected to cause a traffic mess on Interstate 70 next year, was pushed back from mid-March to April 1, sparing the spring break crowds a painful commute to Denver.
The Colorado Department of Transportation will launch the seven-month, $60 million widening project – expanding the highway to three eastbound lanes through the Twin Tunnels to reduce congestion – the day after the Easter holiday, which typically marks the unofficial end of the peak of ski season.
But the delay was a safety decision, not a business decision, officials said.
"March has the highest number of call- outs for emergency (services)," CDOT spokesman Bob Wilson said. "There are a lot of people from out of state who don't know how to drive in the corridor. Listening to various emergency providers, March is a very hard month to impact traffic."
Local emergency officials say the roads seem to be more dangerous in the fall and spring when warmer weather and wetter snow produce slicker conditions.
"My belief is that the early season and late-season snowstorms are the most treacherous," Lake Dillon Fire Rescue spokesman Steve Lipsher said.
The widening project will cause 30-minute traffic stops in both directions and a full closure of eastbound I-70 lanes in the area near Idaho Springs, forcing traffic onto an upgraded two-lane frontage road with a 35 mph speed limit.
While the visitors who book vacations through March will avoid the worst impacts of the work, some locals are concerned about the effect the project will have on April business.
"I am sure most of our community, who thrive on tourism, will be happy to hear the reconsideration to move the project to April 1 rather than mid-March," Breckenridge Resort Managers president Toby Babich stated in an email to the Daily. "Hopefully CDOT can push back a couple more weeks to allow for the (April) tourism building efforts made by so many to be realized this year by not creating a difficult situation for our guests."
But the delayed April 1 start date is already going to put crews on a tight schedule to finish the widening work by the slated Oct. 31 completion date. Transportation officials are pushing to have the project finished in a single summer construction season.
"It represents another challenge," Wilson said. "A big challenge for us."
As early bookings for the spring ski and summer seasons begin coming in, the local tourism industry is priming to prepare its guests to expect and work around the highway project.
Local officials have discussed advising visitors to book later flights and to plan to leave on Mondays rather than Sundays, when outgoing traffic to Denver peaks.
"I think it's very important for all the resorts, Breckenridge and all the Western Slope resorts, to have great information for our guests to minimize their inconvenience during this roadwork, which will obviously, in the future, make for much more simple and stress-free travel to and from the Front Range," Breckenridge Town Councilman and time-share resort co-owner Mike Dudick said.
Highway 285, a longer route running from Denver up into Summit County from the south, likely won't be an ideal alternative to I-70 next summer. The back road is up for its own set of construction projects.
"It's a longer trip," Wilson said. "Plus we're working on 285 through South Park. We're paving it and we're going to widen it and build passing lanes."
Hwy. 285 would also put westbound travelers onto Highway 9 coming out of Breckenridge, where there will be another widening project impacting traffic.
The two-lane shoulderless Twin Tunnels form a bottleneck just east of Idaho Springs on the I-70 mountain corridor that frequently slows eastbound traffic returning to Denver from the mountains on Sunday afternoons during peak seasons.
The widening project, approved in October of last year, will increase the size of the eastbound bore, allowing the road to be expanded to three lanes through to the base of Floyd Hill, where the highway grows to three lanes for the rest of the trip into Denver. Crews will also smooth the sharp curves in the area, which pose a hazard for heavy commercial vehicles and tend to slow down traffic.
During blasting operations in the tunnel, traffic will be stopped in both directions for up to 30 minutes at a time. Transportation officials say they'll try to avoid blasting during the Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon peak travel times. A full closure of the eastbound lanes of I-70 will be in place through duration of the project.

I have my Jango shin armor attached, but the flight suit is a little loose and the leg armor seems to sway around a bit while attached to the legs. How do I keep the shin armor pinned to my shin? How does everyone else do it? A quick response would be appreciated, trying to get everything together to submit to 501st before I leave for vacation on Monday, and before the next troop?
I have it attached with industrial strength velcro at the moment.

Sturgeon Fishing in Wisconsin
Last Updated: 2/21/2013
Wisconsinites and fish go way back. About 136 million years, give or take. Alright, Wisconsin wasn't "Wisconsin" back then, but the prehistoric lake sturgeon was around during the time of the dinosaurs. Once considered a nuisance, this living relic is renowned for its caviar. The fish itself is delicious smoked and their skins can be tanned for leather.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Path-Breakers: How Does Women's Political Participation Respond to Electoral Success?
Lakshmi Iyer, Associate Professor and Marvin Bower Fellow,
Harvard Business School
We examine whether women's electoral success induces greater female political participation in subsequent elections, using the regression discontinuity afforded by close elections between women and men, and constituency level data on India's state elections for 1980-2007. We find that electoral victory for a woman leads to a large and significant increase in the share of female candidates from major political parties in the subsequent election. However, most of this is due to the increased propensity of previous candidates to run again; we do not find an increased entry of new female candidates and no change in female or male voter turnout. We construct a stylized model of political candidacy to investigate the mechanisms driving the increased share of female candidates. Our preliminary results suggest that a reduction in voter bias against women is the main mechanism, rather than an increase in the supply of potential women candidates or a reduction in party bias against women.
Lunch will be provided.

Cabboose Flouquil enamel (mandibles)
Rainbow hobby enamel
"54 Blu Marina"(Lower cheeks)
"TS 43 Racing green"(rear)
Color to mist on top of the Tamiya racing green as the Tamiya color was too deep green this will add just a little blue and grey hue:
Humbrol enamel 88 (rear) *Use this color to tone down the main green by dry brushing it on lightly.
Humbrol super enamel 82 (killstripes)
You can use various grays for the some of the areas around the scratches.
The misting/weathering was done by mixing some gray enamel with Weathered black and lightly airbrushign it on.
The rust on the ears was weathered black with some rust enamel.
Forhead arrow was Insignia Red.
Discolorations were darkend and lightened Matt 31 Humbrol enamel by mixing white and or weathered black.
Silver was Hubrol Chrome Silver enamel.

Fouse Named to CollegeInsider.com Freshman All-American Team
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has been named to the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Freshman All-American Team. The versatile 6-foot-7 forward's rookie campaign with the Phoenix included breaking the program's freshman records for rebounds and steals in a season.
Fouse earned a starting spot for the Phoenix by the season opener and finished the year as one of just three players to start all 34 games. The runner-up for Horizon League Newcomer of the Year averaged 6.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. He also was the lone freshman to earn one of just five spots on the Horizon League All-Defensive Team.
Fouse's rebounding average led the Horizon League, making him the first freshman in the conference to do so since 1995-96. With 268 rebounds, he grabbed more rebounds in a season than any freshman in program history and the second-most by any player in the Division I era. His 55 steals set a freshman record and his 49 blocks were the second-most by any freshman and the most in a season by any player not named Alec Brown.
The versatile forward sparked a Green Bay defense which led the conference in field goal percentage defense, three-point field goal percentage defense and blocked shots per game in league play. He helped Green Bay hold at least five opponents in the forties for the first time since 2000-01 season and break the program record for blocks in a season.
Highlighting Fouse's versatility were 13 points, 11 rebounds and a record-tying seven steals against Loyola on Jan. 9 and a 17-point, 13-rebound, 4-assist, 4-steal and 3-block effort against Cleveland State on Jan. 19.
Fouse will carry two impressive streaks into his sophomore season. He has blocked a shot in 23 consecutive games and has also grabbed at least five rebounds in 19-straight games.

One of the things this column showcases is the versatility of the sandwich. As one of the most universally loved cultural culinary touchstones, the sandwich represents something special, and different, to people everywhere. Around the World Gourmet Sandwiches seems to agree. The name says it all: the shop features sandwiches from across the globe, backed by high-quality meats and local produce. However, there were some problems with execution that left all that goodness wanting.
Take the The Scandinavian ($8.99). The Nova lox smoked salmon was appropriately smoky, which meshed with the classic sidekick of capers. And it was served on a savory but soft cheddar bagel. But there were a few problems.
First and foremost: the cream cheese. It certainly belongs, but there is so much that it overwhelms the salmon in such a way that the sparse red onion can rarely balance it out. And that poor tomato slice never had a chance. Second, there's the cost-to-sandwich ratio. For $8.99, you get a fairly modest sandwich that goes light on the salmon, along with one mushy pickle spear. It's good, and the few well-balanced bites are fantastic, but it's ultimately not consistent enough.

Mmm, I've done a couple-- "Billy Wuzza Dino #1" which is a comic about the lives of some dinos and humans, under the pretense that dinos never died out but just became a marginalized social group. The last one I did is called "Dino Punx" and is a storybook with pictures about what dinosaur punk culture is. Lemme know if you wanna trade or something.
There's a fellow in Portland, OR named James Williams who does dinosaur comic zines, but I don't have any of his info. I'll post it if I find it.

|I know several people that make their living from sailing. Some work primarily as instructors... others work as delivery captains or crew. Some work in the boating business—not as sailors, but as tradespeople—electricians, plumbers, fiberglass repair, etc.
long cruise -- desired in the next few years
Hi, Everyone !
I am new to this site, I am also new to the sailing world(not totally) . Though I am not unfamiliar with the open water . I have spent my fair share weeks COMMERCIAL FISHING . I am living in the out skirts of New Orleans, Louisiana now . Now days I run a construction small(small company big head aches) . Since the hurricanes in 2005 I have managed to pay off my house I lived in before and purchase in full the one I am living in now(nothing fancy just home). In the mean time I bought a boat it's a, 44 gulf star ketch . I have now got this burning desire to get as far away from this place as possible(no offence to home town) I just want to see so much of the world . My number one desire is to sail to the Philippines . I am just worried about cost of living ! I would like some in put on this once gone I wound not have any income though I am sure that I would rent both my homes out . I am still not sure if that would be enough income to survive . Another thing that has me pondering is the threat of "Pirates at Sea" some of my freinds tell me that if I plan on traveling I better travel along with several boats because solo is unsafe in the open waters . I know I am new to this so any advise will be taken in full

Every penny you earn gets taxed anywhere from 30% on up depending on what country you are in, so it's really only 70% of a penny by the time you get it. Whereas a penny saved is not only a penny saved but also a penny generating interest, so it is in effect a SUPER PENNY that will feed you if you save all of it's cousins too. Saved pennies are very grateful.
This method of saving money and generating interest is virtually unknown in the United States where a penny saved is only collateral to use in borrowing large sums of money.
Also, if you know of any good books, non-fiction prefered, that cover all the aspects of long-term cruising and good destinations, please drop a line. Thank you.
Definitely non-fiction.
Theres something that the trail of this thread has left behind but as any person out there cruising knows well. maintence and the ability to do such is a major part in choosing the boat you plan on sailing.
Awhile back a good friend of mine said they should change the name from Cruising to "REPAIRING YOUR BOAT IN EXOTIC PORTS"
From the time we purchased our boat, some 4 or 5 years ago, we've replaced almost every piece of moving parts on the boat. understand the retro-fit was our choice as we brought a mid 80s vintage FIRST 42 up to newer standards.. and every part of the boat, I've done the repair or replacement myself. Not bragging, but stating a fact.. Parts break and if you want to cruise at a low cost, you have to do the repair yourself, so find a boat or size that you can manage by yourself.
As boat type, we chose a proven race design, the designs (when built) were state-of-the-art, The materials were the newest and strongest avalible. the hull was designed fast and strong and the rigging built to withstand the riggors of offshore racing for multiple days at a time. we will never as cruisers put the boat through half the load the racers would have put on it... Its strong, its fast, its comfortable, and sails like its running on tracks...
If your looking for a boat to cruise with.. take a good look at what people are using these days, and not what people are dreaming of..
The reality of it, people are using what they can, and they make it work.
Like the guy who sailed the hollowed out log from Panama to the South Pacific.. With a 5 gallon bucket of granola and a couple jugs of water!
I think that since the thread you just woke up from the dead is from 2003, the guy already decided....
But...we never know...some people are real slow deciders....
Consider the Catalina Morgan 440
We love ours. It has so many features that we wanted in a cruising boat. We won't get to sail away for a few years to come, but when we do, our 440 is the one for us!
There's a brand new owners site now.
It's up and running!
catalina440 dot org
Good luck on your decision.

One minor point, I would say that "Effort required to sail the boat and hours performing maintenance increase exponentially as the ''displacement and to a lesser extent length'', of the boat increases incrementally." It is my sense that displacement rather than length that really controls so much more about size of the boat in terms of sail area,ease of handling, maintenance costs etc.
Dream of Sailing as a living
I''d like to highlight what I consider to be the two most important pieces of sage advice in this thread:

Jeff H''s remarks are right on the money: take the time to learn to sail first on a small keelboat that will actually teach you what you''re doing. You''ll become a better sailor faster, and weekending will give you a small taste of "cruising." You can always sell it later.

A 42-47 footer is a lot of boat to sail short-handed, especially if you haven''t taken time to develop your skill on a smaller boat. If you set your sights on a LOA (length-over-all) somewhere in the the middle or upper 30-foot range, you will still have plenty of room for 3 people (it''s a boat, not an apartment) and save tons of cash that you can use to refurbish whatever needs attention.

Effort required to sail the boat and hours performing maintenance increase exponentially as the length of the boat increases incrementally. This will afffect everything from changing/reefing sails while underway to bottom-painting to hours of scraping/sanding, & varnishing, etc. All the ground tackle (anchors, chain, etc.) will by necessity be larger, heavier & more difficult to manage, and/or require electric windlasses, etc., which increases the complexity of your systems and charging requirements.

 The list goes on
Dream of Sailing as a living
There are lots of good cruising boats out there. Practical Sailor has a two volume set of boats they recommend.
PS are great boats, but the new ones are not really set up for long term cruising. Almost all new boats are built for the weekend sailor or short term cruiser.
I bought a Mariner 39 CC two years ago. This boat is 21 years old and in great condition. It is blue water proven having sailed from Florida to Tahiti, Alaska and Peru. The first owners lived on the boat for 18 years. Its layout is ideal for cruising, plenty of space. I went and looked at all the new boats at the St Pete boatshow last year and quite frankly would not trade my boat for any of the new ones.
And the cost was only $75,000 with no major refitting required.
So be willing to look long and hard. There are great boats out there.

Jeff & James,
James, I''d stay away from Pacific Seacraft if you don''t want to pay a heafty price. You can buy two Beneteau 42cc''s for one 42ft P.S. And from what I''ve read (since I can''t find anyone on here willing to answer my questions on them) the 42cc''s are great bluewater boats. Just type it in a web search and you can find lots of articles from third parties, to parties with an investment in it, and they both say the same thing; it is well designed and great for both coastal cruising and bluewater (it''s designed for bluewater though, to make Jeff happy). The price for a new one is about $185k at a sailaway readiness. Great standard features. Since it is a new designed I really couldn''t tell you used prices, but in a couple years, you might be able to find a couple 5 yrs old ones on sale, for maybe 1/4 the price. That''s what I''m planning to do. If anyone got any other ideas, please tell...I''m a humble person.

so after lots of research and looking up pics iv come to the conclusion that ill stick with the one ton frame i have just aquired and mod it to work to my liking. as far as the front end goes ill have to run with the solid axle up front and suicide it, with the spring over. theres lots of parts out for the solid axle and i love how it completes a rod thats fender less. it wont ride that good but if its any worse then my one ton dodge in -40 c on an uplowed back road then ill take action from there. now i just have to swindel a day off to make it back home an get nutz deep into this proj.
thanks again folks for all the help
twin I beam
Twin I beams work ok as long as you run the load on the truck the same as the alignment. The problem I had was on my 85 one ton the previous owner had it set with a huge cab over camper. I had and alignment done with minimum load since I pulled heavy loads in my big trailer. If you want to stay all ford you can check the Ford truck forums for using a Ford aerostar mini van front crosmember or an later Crown Vick crosmember front suspensions. or since Ford owned Jaguar for a while a Jag xj6 crosmember suspension swap and even mabe the Jag rear Irs.
|As much as I love Chevys, I wasn't inferring you use Chevy power in your Ford! Not sure who told you the S10 frame was a poor fit, as those I know who've done it all said it was a great fit. But as I also said, if you want to keep it all Ford, then ignore what I suggested.
Thanks for advice guys, i know alot you dont like the twin ibeam i dont have any issues with it, ive ran them for yrs n between the twin ibeam and the s10, i would take the the twin ibeam hands down for the ablitly to take a **** kickin and only require minor repairs, but when it comes to keeping things simple i dont see the s10 frame to any advantage over the ranger frame , looks aside, other than the 7ft box reg cab ranger frame has almost the identical wheel base (114") to the 1947 half ton which i looked up and found to be stated at 114". but tony makes a good point of the 1 ton frame and cut it to fit. unfortantly im working still , just over 38 days now, and havent had a chance to really get into any thing. but as for what 1971BB427 was saying about the s10 frame from what i have found its almost as much work as fabing your own frame as to convert the s10 frame and a 1947 cab and box to fit properly on the s10 frame, that being said i do want to keep this truck a all ford parts for the most part. Im one of those guys who sees a beauty ford that has been, in my opinion only, massacured to fit a Gm frame and then put a Gm heart in it. everyone says its easyeir for the gm small block conversion and the s10 frame is easeir to use. i beg to differ the parts aren't as readily availbe which makes it a bit harder, but other than that you have to change out very simular parts to work a gm in as to work a ford in. and lets be honest guys if we were looking for easy we would just find one some one has done an buy it!
Unless you're dead set on keeping it all Ford, I'd pick up a inexpensive S10 frame. I believe your '47 has about a 110" wheelbase, and the S10 comes in either 108", 117", or 122". It also has a nicer front suspension for a rod, and they are plentiful and cheap!
I've known a few people who used them on post WWII Ford trucks and said the frame contours fit good. Most paid around $200 for a complete frame with suspension, and no engine or trans. Might even find a private party wrecking one out, and get it cheaper, and sell off what you wont use.
|In my opinion a twin I beam is best suited on the down side of an anchor chain. Its just not that good of a design. Take the one ton chassis, shorten to fit your shortbox, get a good design replacment aftermarket crossmember, put a four link in the back and call it a day
|so i have an update! you fellas have talked me out of using the ranger frame. i just aquired a donor truck its a 47 1 ton. im not to sure how much work is needed, or if its workable, to the frame on my 47 half ton. but i figured that between the 2 i should be able to make one solid frame. other than the one ton frame being physicaly longer and heavyer, with larger axles and stiffer suspension. would it be at all work able to drop it to a half ton. thinkin twin ibeam from a 75 half ton and ford 9inch. what are your thoughts? or should i just try for another half ton frame? any help would be grate just remeber i want to put a 390 big block in this thing.
|Sorry bud you have take the spaces out of the @hotmail.com i put them in to keep the spam Bots down.
I tried 3 times but keep getting error mesage, no Email for q_6971@ hotmail .com
|Hey thanks for the advice guys. I did a quick thumb threw the ebook it's got alot of good content and will come in handy for sure. As for the stock chassis I havnt got a good look at it but the truck has been siting on the drums in the dirt in northern Alberta for the better part of 30 yrs. I kind of wrote if off already not many survive that it's soft dirt and lots of moister. Plus do you think that if the stock chassis is any good it could handle the weight and power Of a big block. I'll running a 390 with c6 behind it. Me and a friend cramed a 460 into a short bed in high school wasn't to bad to get in. Snaky as hell though. But I woul love to the pics of your fender splice q_6971@ hotmail .com if you wouldn't mind sending them. I currently have a 32 grille shell and grille, reman steel, to mate to the front. But as you all probly know plans change as things come toghther and apart! Thanks again guys stay awesome!!
eBook I beams
Check out the eBook at the top of the page, Cboy has used f150 I beams on a couple of his builds, and got rid of the big coil spring mounts, and a chevy v8 is easier than a ford small block swap.
lakester nose
Our 46 had a lot of front end damage so my son took off the front fenders cut the front half off then turned them around and butted them together trimmed and welded together to make a lakester nose. Pict too big to load
|If it were me..... and I was going to do that much work, I surely wouldnt use a twin I beam. If your factory chassis is in relatively descent shape, I would use that, four link it and put a crossmember in the front.
1947 pickup- 85 ranger frame long box.
hey fellow rodders, so im fairly new to the rodding game, ive built afew 4x4s one street truck, and a few bikes over the yrs and have decided to finaly start assembling/choping and Rodding out my 1947 ford pickup. due to the lack of aftermartek metal body parts avaible, ill be building this one fenderless with an almost RAT ROD look but with paint and clean body work. with the 85 ranger frame a 114" wheel base, should be a good fit im aware of how ugly the front suspension is. i plan on rebuilding the upper spring mounts as a almost baja style hoop, please note that the front rad support will be intergrated in to the upper spring mounts for add support. An ill probly end up fabing my own trailing arms? might not have that rite, but the ugly *** arms that conect the I-beams to the frame at the back side of the i beams. but any ways im thinking of making them longer and cleaner. is this going to throw my front suspension out of whack? my thoughs are that it will change some of the goemetry a little bit but if made correctly, and keeping the I-Beams located in the proper place should still handle like the ranger any thoughts?

Romney releases taxes, claims he has paid every year
Mitt Romney released new tax documents Friday showing he and his wife Ann received $13.7 million in investment income and paid more than $1.9 million in federal income taxes or a 14.1% effective rate in 2011. The documents, which fulfilled a campaign promise, also included a claim that the Romneys' personal federal income tax rate during the past 20 years has never been lower than 13.66%.
The documents also made clear that Romney, who donates millions of dollars to charity each year, reduced the amount of charitable deduction he claimed this year to keep his federal tax rate above 13%.
The 2011 returns for the Romneys were part of a package of documents released by the Republican presidential nominee that also included his wife's trust, the family's charitable trust, medical records for Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and tax returns and disclosure reports for Ryan and his wife, Janna.
It is the second of the two years of returns Romney has said he would release. He released his 2010 returns in January after coming under attack from Republican opponents before the crucial early primary contests of South Carolina and Florida.
STORY: Romney, Ryan both declared in good health
ANALYSIS: Romney tax return release doesn't satisfy Democrats
Romney made his fortune running private equity firm Bain Capital and most of the Romneys' $13.7 million income came from investments. Capital gains and dividends are taxed at 15% -- a lower rate than the 35% on ordinary income such as wages and salaries. The 2011 tax return shows he earned $190,350 in speaking fees and $260,390 as a director of other companies.
President Obama and Vice President Biden have each released 12 years of returns.
The Romneys' 2011 return showed they donated more than $4 million but claimed only $2.25 million.
"The Romneys voluntarily limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the governor's statement in August, based upon the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13% in income taxes in each of the last 10 years," the campaign explained.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said in a statement late Friday, "Today's release of Mitt Romney's 2011 tax returns confirms what we already knew â?? that people like Mitt Romney pay a lower tax rate than many middle-class families because of a set of complex loopholes and tax shelters only available to those at the top. Yet, Mitt Romney still wants to give multimillionaires an additional $250,000 tax cut at the expense of middle-class taxpayers who will see their taxes go up."
During a South Carolina primary debate in January, Romney said he had only paid "the taxes that are legally required and not a dollar more."
"I don't think you want someone as the candidate for president who pays more taxes than he owes," he said.
Romney told ABC News in July," Frankly, if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president. I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires."
Asked how the decision squared with Romney's comments, adviser Michele Davis said the Romneys were in a "unique position."
"He has been clear that no American need pay more than he or she owes under the law," she said. "At the same time, he was in the unique position of having made a commitment to the public that his tax rate would be above 13%. He directed his preparers to ensure that he is consistent with that statement."
Martin Press, a tax law expert from the Gunster law firm in Fort Lauderdale, said there were several ways to look at Romney's decision to claim less than he gave in charitable contributions.
"You could look at it one way and say he's being very magnanimous and not taking all of his charitable deductions, even though he was entitled to under the law. That's the Republican view," Press said. "The Democratic view is he's so scared that his tax rate would go down too low that he didn't take all his deductions. It's an interesting comment on our tax system."
"You could call it manipulation; he did manipulate what percentage he wanted to pay in taxes," said Ellen Minkow, an accountant at MS 1040 LLC in New York City.
Fred Slater, another accountant with the firm, hypothesized that Romney's decision to forgo some of the deductions to which he was entitled cost him a little under $300,000.
The Romneys' charitable donations go to their own foundation -- the Tyler Charitable Foundation -- and to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Tithing, or contributing at least one tenth of one's income to the church, is a tenet of the Mormon faith.
The campaign also released a notarized letter from accounting firm PwC, LLP -- the U.S. company of accounting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers -- summarizing the Romneys' state and federal income tax returns from 1990-2009, which seemed to confirm Romney's claim that he has paid taxes every year -- despite allegations to the contrary made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
However, Instead of detailing each year, the accountants averaged all of the years of returns together -- saying the lowest average rate "any year during that period" was 13.66%, the average rate was 20.20%.
Press said the letter answered few questions.
"He's not releasing 20 years of his returns, but they're making summary statements about 20 years of returns," he said. "I don't know what they (the accounting firm) mean by that statement, because they're not specifically basing the conclusion on (Romney's) adjusted gross income."
In January, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who was surging in the polls at the time, hammered Romney for his hesitance to release the financial documents during a presidential debate in South Carolina.
Gingrich hinted that Romney's refusal to release his returns was because he had something to hide.
Romney initially insisted he would wait until April to release his returns, but days later released his 2010 return as well of an estimate of his 2011 total.

This has always confused me...I thought a gallon of honey was around 12 lbs.But a quart only holds 44 oz, that is 11lbs per gallon.So which is it? :?
Selling honey by weight must date back to all comb honey times. Bottled honey is liquid. Sell it by volume like everything else.
(Abbr. pt. or p.) a unit of volume or capacity in the U.S. Customary System, used in liquid measure, equal to 1/8 gallon or 16 ounces (0.473 liter).a unit of volume or capacity in the U.S. Customary System, used in dry measure, equal to 1/16 peck or 1/2 quart (0.551 liter).a unit of volume or capacity in the British Imperial System, used in dry and liquid measure, equal to 0.568 liter. a container with a pint capacity.The amount of a substance that can be held in such a container.
a pint jar holds a pint guys. Measure a pint of water, mark a jar, done. Just the same as weighing a pound of honey and marking a jar so you know how much to fill it. Or are you going to tell me you really weigh every bottle? Didn't think so. Difference is, every one of mine will be a pint. Yours will vary with the type of honey, how dry it is, whether it's filtered or not, how humid the weather is, etc. The bottom line is, my customers are just as happy buying pints and quarts as your's are buying pounds and ounces. It doesn't matter one wit which you do. It's not a religion and it's not a law. Just as long as you say what you did, it's fine.Bjorn, when was the last time you went to the store for 3.34 ounces of Grey Poupon? Would you have declined if it had been 5 fluid ounces?
Isn't this, :deadhorse: over & over :deadhorse:Bee-Bop
a bit off topic - and I do of course get the lesson from this thread... but I just wanted to say that I am intrigued by what you folks have in your refrigerators. :)
Man you guys got big pints, my pints way a lb. remember the saying ,, a pints a pound the world around. 16 US ounces of honey weigh 1.36 pounds (or 0.615 kilogramm) and for good measure, lets say a deviation of + or - 5gm. specific to the water content. 22 ozs = 1.37 pounds. So, how do you figure that he has big pints. He has exactly what you are saying. There is a difference between ounces of mass and ounces of fluid. That old saying, is just an old saying.

Posts Tagged 'Offshore Halterneck Swimsuit by Faubourg'
red hot, white and blue
May 25th, 20120
At last! The sun has come out, it's been positively scorching and it's set to last into the weekend. It hasn't taken us ladies long to get into summer mode. No sooner have we shaken off the last drops of rain from our umbrellas, next we are dusting off our flip-flops, painting our toenails, reaching for the bronzer and planning a weekend by the coast. And there's no better place to spend your weekend than the British coast, and with The Queen's Diamond Jubilee just around the corner, and the Olympics in July, we have lots to celebrate about the UK.
Britain has some stunning beaches, and we have more coastline miles than Italy, Spain or France. Each coastal town has its very own unique personality, some are quiet, wild and craggy, and others are polished, noisy and busy. So if you are thinking of heading off this weekend with your other half, the whole family, or the girls, why try out some of Britain's finest beaches? You will not be disappointed, and while you are snoozing in a sea breeze, or tucking into your beach picnic, you will need some Jubilee inspired swimwear to look gorgeous in; Bravissimo can help you out there too.
The Buoy Oh Buoy Tankini by Faubourg is picture postcard perfect, it has a 1950s nautical look. 1953 was the year that The Queen was crowned, so we think it's quite apt. It is based on the Bon Voyage style from last year, which was a hit with our Bravissimo ladies. It is an underwired tankini top with concealed back fastening bra. It is available with swim shorts or briefs, so if you are after more coverage than a bikini, but more flexibility than a swimsuit, this set could be the perfect choice. It is available in Coral and Spot.
The Offshore Halterneck Swimsuit by Faubourg available in Blueberry could be for you if you are a dedicated swimsuit girl. Exclusive to Bravissimo, this swimsuit is an underwired halterneck style and comes in this fabulous large floral print. The halterneck style is ultra flattering for bigger boobs too, it also offers great support.
The Cote D'Azur Halterneck Bikini Top by Pureda is another fifties inspired two- piece, even though the name suggests France, its red, white and blue and that's good enough for us. The cute boat print is so on trend this summer, and the stripes give it even more of a nautical feel. Again this is an underwired halterneck which really flatters the boobs, and the bikini top is lightly padded, which increases the uplift and creates amazing cleavage. It is available in Navy/Red print and comes with matching swim briefs or swim fold briefs.
Some of Britain's Best Beaches
Cornwall – St Ives Bay, Dorset – Lyme Regis, Devon – Burgh Island, Somerset – Bunham-On-Sea, Isle of Wight – Cowes, Kent – Botany Bay, Sussex – Rye, Suffolk – Southwold, Norfolk – Holkham, Yorkshire – Runswick Bay, Northumberland – Bamburgh, Wales -Barafundle Bay, and Scotland – Calgary.

hey! I used to sell these guns as well as use them. I recommend the 1.3 tip for your base and the 1.4 tip for your clearcoat. As for the fluid caps, stick with the instructions and follow their recommendations. If I recall, 1.3,silver, 1.4, purple. Double check me though, it's been a couple of years since I dealt with these guns. At my age, sometimes breakfast is a blur!

After doing lots of research on guns (spent the last 2 days (10+hours) digging on the internet) I've decided to buy a LPH400 for my base and clears... figured if i was going to buy equipment I might as well spend my money on some high end equipment... and some cheap gun for primer, since I'm going to sand it anyways, until I can afford a better primer gun.
So the question is since this gun has so many different setups (different nozzle sizes (1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc etc) different caps (silver, orange, purple), different cup sizes) which one would be right for me? for just base and clears.
I plan on painting my this colour (see picture below), and yes it's also a 180sx(240sx) I know its a jappa, this forum just seemed like it had good info, please don't discriminate .
As for cup size I assume 1L cup as I'm going to paint a whole car and that should save me from refilling as much?
Thanks in advance.

On a day set aside to honor the work and sacrifice of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the second inauguration of President Barack Obama, I hope you got a chance to tune in last night for "The Price of Poverty in Kentucky."
Both Renee Shaw and I thought the conversation surrounding one of the most important issues facing the state and the nation was timely, interesting, and thought provoking.
Our guests were phenomenal. During the program, you heard from:
-Terry Brooks, Ph.D., executive director of the Kentucky Youth Advocates
-Attica Scott, Louisville Metro councilwoman
-Eric Schansberg, an economics professor at Indiana University-Southeast and member of the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Board of Scholars
-Reid Livingston, Kentucky state director for Save the Children USA
-Courtney Trent, early steps to school success coordinator for Save the Children USA
-Gerry Roll, executive director of the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky
-James P. Ziliak, Ph.D., founding director of the University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research and a UK Gatton Endowed Chair of Economics
-Michelle Tooley, Ph.D., religion, social ethics and public policy professor at Berea College.
During the discussion, Terry Brooks talked about the picture of poverty in Kentucky.
I asked Councilwoman Scott why we can't end or put a stop to poverty.
Toward the conclusion of the program, there was a robust discussion on how best to tackle the issue and the steps needed to reduce poverty in Kentucky's urban and rural areas.

Hurricanes and Global Warming – Is There a Connection?
Finally, then, we come back to Katrina. This storm was a weak (category 1) hurricane when crossing Florida, and only gained force later over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. So the question to ask here is: why is the Gulf of Mexico so hot at present – how much of this could be attributed to global warming, and how much to natural variability? More detailed analysis of the SST changes in the relevant regions, and comparisons with model predictions, will probably shed more light on this question in the future. At present, however, the available scientific evidence suggests that it would be premature to assert that the recent anomalous behavior can be attributed entirely to a natural cycle.
But ultimately the answer to what caused Katrina is of little practical value. Katrina is in the past. Far more important is learning something for the future, as this could help reduce the risk of further tragedies. Better protection against hurricanes will be an obvious discussion point over the coming months, to which as climatologists we are not particularly qualified to contribute. But climate science can help us understand how human actions influence climate. The current evidence strongly suggests that:
(a) hurricanes tend to become more destructive as ocean temperatures rise, and
(b) an unchecked rise in greenhouse gas concentrations will very likely increase ocean temperatures further, ultimately overwhelming any natural oscillations.
Scenarios for future global warming show tropical SST rising by a few degrees, not just tenths of a degree (see e.g. results from the Hadley Centre model and the implications for hurricanes shown in Fig. 1 above). That is the important message from science. What we need to discuss is not what caused Katrina, but the likelyhood that global warming will make hurricanes even worse in future.
1. By 'destructive' we refer only to the intrinsic ability of the storm to do damage to its environment due to its strength. The potential increases that we discuss apply only to this intrinsic meteorological measure. We are not taking into account the potential for increased destruction (and cost) due to increasing population or human infrastructure.
