The Canisius College hockey team rallied from a two-goal third-period deficit for a 5-4 victory against Sacred Heart on Sunday afternoon. The Griffs, who scored two goals in the final 2:26 of regulation to earn the win, improve to 8-10-1 on the season and 7-4-1 in Atlantic Hockey play, while the Pioneers drop to 5-16-0 and 4-10-0 against league foes.
"It's a sign of a veteran team that we were able to stay the course when things weren't going our way," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "We had a number of chances early and good puck possession but Sacred Heart played well today and had a late two-goal lead. We were very resilient though and our seniors, who have been in this situation before, found a way late to get a big two points out of the game."
Seniors Ben Danford and Kyle Gibbons both recorded a point on the Griffs' final two tallies, each netting a goal to go along with an assist.
Junior Braeden Rigney and sophomores Ralph Cuddemi and Chris Rumble also scored for Canisius in the victory.
The Pioneers wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, netting a goal just 47 seconds into the game. Evan Jasper finished a 2-on-1 himself and fired the puck into the net for the early 1-0 lead.
The Griffs answered back and tallied a pair of goals just 39 seconds apart midway through the period. Rumble opened the scoring for Canisius with his fourth goal of the season at the 10:20 mark. Sophomore Stephen Miller and freshman Jack Hidi fought for the puck along the boards and found Rumble on the blue line. The sophomore defender then sent a wrist shot into the net to square the contest at one.
Rigney then gave the Griffs their first lead of the afternoon just 39 seconds later. On a 3-on-2 rush, senior Ryan Bohrer fired a shot on goal and Rigney was there to clean up the rebound for his fourth tally of the year. Junior Carl Larsson also recorded an assist on the goal.
Unfortunately for Canisius, its lead lasted just 19 seconds as Sacred Heart responded with its second goal. Jordan Minello knocked a rebound in with 8:42 remaining in the period to knot the game at two.
The Pioneers then reclaimed the lead in the second period with two more tallies from rebounds. Will Rayner gave Sacred Heart the advantage with 10:32 left and Jeff Carroll then stretched the lead to two with 9:11 remaining in the period.
Canisius answered back in the third period and scored three goals in the final 11 minutes for the victory. Cuddemi started the rally with his sixth goal of the season with 10:56 remaining in regulation. Miller sent a shot on goal and after the save, Cuddemi found the loose puck in the slot and fired it in for the 4-3 score. Junior Tyler Wiseman also registered an assist on the tally that brought the Griffs within one.
Gibbons then knotted the contest at four, connecting on the power play with 2:26 left in regulation. The senior buried a slap shot from the point off passes from Danford and freshman Shane Conacher for his ninth goal of the season.
Danford then finished the Canisius rally with his third goal of the season with just 32 seconds remaining. From the point, Gibbons fired a shot on goal but the Sacred Heart netminder could not locate the loose puck in front of the net. Junior Cody Freeman knocked the puck to Danford and the senior defender scored from close range for the 5-4 final score.
Canisius finished the contest with a 38-29 advantage in shots. The Griffs were also 1-for-3 on the power play, while killing both Sacred Heart power plays.
Junior Keegan Asmundson stopped seven third-period shots to earn the win in net for the Griffs with senior Tony Capobianco recording 18 saves in the first two periods. Alex Vazzano posted 33 saves in defeat for the Pioneers.
The schools wrap up the two-game series tomorrow afternoon at the Buffalo State Sports Arena. Game time is slated for 3:05 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius remains the only unbeaten team in the country at home this season with a 4-0-1 record at the Buffalo State Sports Arena … The Griffs are now outscoring opponents, 20-10, in the third period this season after being outscored 22-18 in the first and 24-12 in the second frame … Gibbons is now in sole possession of second place in the program's record book with 51 career tallies, breaking a tie with Jason Weeks … The Griffs are unbeaten in their last eight games (6-0-2) against the Pioneers.

Um... what? :confused
it was a trap
sorry mate,I was offering original pieces of the cut down girth belts,for samples for ppl to match the colour and type of material,but no-one seemed interested............I thought ppl might compare dyeing to the real colouring of the strands.Just seems like a shame to toss out the pieces as I'm sure this the real girth used in the SW films.These belts were stored for over 30 years in a warehouse,and they were a lucky find as we were looking for other items at the time.Dad was buying canvas to make a sailing ship set for a childrens tv pilot,and found the belts in a dusty old corner of the ware house.Since then,I have tried to locate the original maker,but no luck so far.We bought these belts nearly 4 years ago,and thought that they were a commonly found item.Now we know that is not the case.
There are guys who think that the esb and rotj belts are a different colour,but if you look at the comparison photos I posted,you can see this is not true.
I know,I know,I'm probably going to get my head kicked over this,but I truly believe I have the original belt type here.I have only 3 left,and I'm keeping those,as I know know how rare they are.
Please understand,neither I nor my Dad,who was a member here,are trying to
grandstand or be heroes here,but some debates can get very nasty on TDH.
The offer of the real strand samples was a genuine offer to makers of their own belts to match the colour of the original material,no more,no less.
E2K makes great belts,but keeping his dye mix a secret(as he should),but for others who like to DIY,I thought having an original piece to compare,you'd get a better,more authentic look for your homemade belt.
For photos of the strands that were cut fron an original belt,go here........

The moving force (and sometimes the solution) of a work of mystery fiction is referred to as a MacGuffin, a concept that originated in Victorian England.
Alfred Hitchcock used the term and said, "No film is complete without a MacGuffin because that's what everybody is after." The MacGuffin might be the papers everyone is looking for or the ring that was stolen — in short, the MacGuffin is any device or gimmick that gets a plot rolling. The MacGuffin itself has little, if any, fundamental importance, and, according to Hitchcock, is nothing in and of itself.
The MacGuffin, established in 1984, is a national literary magazine created on campus. The journal is a 160 page 6" x 9" perfect-bound collection of poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction, and visual art, including black and white photos, prints and drawings. Our MacGuffin is published three times per year.
The mission of The MacGuffin is to encourage, support, and enhance the literary arts in the Schoolcraft College community, the region, the state, and the nation.
By fulfilling its role as a national literary journal, The MacGuffin brings national and international prestige to Schoolcraft College. It is our main vehicle for our contribution to literary excellence.
Quality fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and art since 1984.

Edison Theatre
Opened 1931
240 West 47th Street (just West of Broadway).
Apparently the old ballroom of the Art Deco Edison Hotel. ibdb.com lists productions there between 1970 and 1990, including the notorious nude show Oh, Calcutta. Productions also listed there as the Arena Theatre in 1950-51, although not certain whether that is correct. Currently home to The Supper Club, a 650-seat restaurant with live shows.

In the StickyMinds.com column, "May I Take Your Temperature?" by Linda Hayes, you were asked to rate the state of the testing industry and your current level of satisfaction as a tester. Many of you responded to Linda's survey, and the results surprised her. Linda shares a revision of her state of the industry, as reported by you!
Good news: My pessimistic view of the state of the testing industry, as described in my last column, "May I Take Your Temperature?" was disproved by the survey results. Not only are a majority of responders enjoying their jobs as testers, but they offer useful and even profound advice. Here is what we found:
The average tester stays in a company for just under three years. That's a range from a high of about ten years in one place to only six weeks. Many are contractors, which may skew the numbers lower. Those who spent a long time at a single company typically rotated through a number of roles and/or divisions. The average time spent in testing as a career was almost nine years, with a high of thirty years. If people can stay in testing that long, it can't be all bad.
Do You Enjoy Your Job?
Think about whether you look forward to going to work and feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment at the end of the day. Rate this on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 means you are a candidate for anti-depressants and 5 means you spend your free time improving your testing skills.
As the graph below shows, most testers actually enjoy what they do. The average response was 3.6 out of 5. Again, shows what I know. Far from being depressed and downtrodden, most testers show enthusiasm for their job.
As you will see when we get to the bonus question, a lot of this can be credited to individuals' adopting healthy and realistic views of their job as opposed to external influences.

Green Bay Opens Windy City Weekend Thursday at UIC
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With the first two games of a four-game road trip in the books, Green Bay takes to the road again this week for the Chicago swing at UIC and Loyola. Green Bay faces UIC on Thursday night at 7 p.m. fresh off a 74-54 victory at Milwaukee last Friday night and with the memories of a Windy City sweep to close the 2011-12 regular season.
The game will also open the second half of the Horizon League schedule for the Phoenix, who sit in a tie for second place at 5-3. One of team's league wins was less than three weeks ago in Green Bay when the Phoenix clawed past UIC 53-47. In that contest on Jan. 12, junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) scored a game-high 21 points and added eight rebounds and four blocks. UIC was led by Gary Talton's 11 points but the Flames were held to just 21 second-half points and 34 percent shooting in the game.
Both teams enter playing good basketball. Green Bay has won five of its past six games overall while UIC has won three of four contests since the loss at the Resch Center. The teams are led in scoring by their point guards - Green Bay's Keifer Sykes (15.3) and UIC's Talton (13.3).
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans will be able to catch Thursday night's Horizon League showdown at UIC live on Time Warner Cable's Sports32 and on the Horizon League Network. Chris Roth will handle the play-by-play duties for Sports32 while Phoenix Hall of Famer Jeff Nordgaard will be alongside as the color analyst.
The game will also 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 alongside Andrew Gavin. Live stats will be available on UICFlames.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay's win on Jan. 12 was its 50th in the series history as the Phoenix has faced the Flames more than any other team in its history. The Phoenix owns a 50-35 all-time record and will be looking to even its record in Chicago at 20-20.
2. BROWN'S GRAND NIGHT: Brown sparked Green Bay's dominant second half last Friday, scoring 15 of his career-high 23 points. The 7-foot-1 big man surpassed the 1,000-career point mark in the process to become the 25th member of the program's 1,000-point club. On Monday, Brown was recognized for his strong play against Valpo and Milwaukee when he was named Horizon League Player of the Week (20.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 blocks per game).
3. SYKES IN THE CITY: Sykes, a Chicago native and a Marshall High School grad, was terrific in his last performance in his hometown. The 5-foot-11 guard scored 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting as Green Bay concluded the 2011-12 regular season with a 71-63 victory. He took over down the stretch, making the last six baskets for the Phoenix. Sykes also added seven assists in the contest against the Flames.
• WINDY CITY WINNING: In the past two seasons, Green Bay has experienced success against teams from Chicago. Led by Sykes, the Phoenix is 7-0 against Loyola (3-0), UIC (3-0) and Chicago State (1-0). Sykes scored a season-high 27 points at UIC in the teams' last meeting on Feb. 25, and the sophomore is averaging 14.1 points and 4.7 assists per game in the seven games against his hometown schools.
• FIRST-HALF DEFENSE: Green Bay sits in a tie for second place in the Horizon League standings through the first half of conference play. The Phoenix is in the position on the strength of its defense and rebounding. Through eight league games, Green Bay leads the conference in field goal percentage defense (.361), rebounding margin (+6.7) and blocked shots (5.6).
• STILL ON GUARD: In Green Bay's five league wins, the Phoenix has not allowed more than 58 points and has a scoring defense of 50.8. The team's victory margin is 15.0 and it has made twice as many free throws (86-43). Those five opponents are shooting just 33.6 percent from the field and are being outrebounded by 9.6 boards per game. In its three HL losses, Green Bay is allowing 73.7 points per game and 40.5 percent shooting. The Phoenix rebounding margin dips to just plus-2.0 and its opponents have made 36 more free throws.
• IMPACT FRESHMAN: Despite being limited to just 21 minutes, freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) totaled eight points, eight rebounds and two blocks at Milwaukee. It was another strong effort for the true freshman who is one of just three Phoenix players (Brown, Sykes) to start all 21 games. The 6-foot-7 Fouse leads all Horizon League newcomers in rebounds (2nd), blocks (t3rd) and steals (4th).
• RESERVE ROLES: Green Bay's bench has provided a solid lift in recent games, contributing double figures in six-straight games. Against Cleveland State, three Phoenix players combined for 31 points off the pine, and the reserves outscored the Milwaukee bench 21-0. Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) has reached double figures off the bench in six of eight Horizon League games, including four consecutive.
• FREE AND EASY: Green Bay is first in the Horizon League and its 75.3 percent from the line ranks 20th nationally. The Phoenix is 350-465 on the season and also ranks tied for 16th nationally in free throws made per game (16.7). Green Bay has made more free throws per game than any other Horizon League team. Sykes ranks ninth in the conference in free-throw percentage (.812) and among the league leaders in free throws made (95) and attempted (117). Brown ranks seventh in league play, shooting 85.7 percent (30-35), and is 67-90 overall. Junior Kam Cerroni (34-35) and Cougill (41-49) are both well over 80 percent.

Has anyone ever seen the ads for this 1989 concept? Some info on it can be seen at vintagerex.com. Says there was only two prototypes made before the company (Elite Enterprises)shut `er down. It was a kind of a drum mag fed Thompson Machine Gun looking affair.
Just wondered if anyone out there came in proximity to either one or know their where about? Other than still stuffed away in a box in the manufacturers basement.

http://www.vintagere.../Destroyer1.jpg I`m still learning on how to get actual pics on here, but if you go to vintagerex.com and look for these in their marker display under Elite Enterprises, you can see all the photos. I`m sure they are a lost cause. I was just hoping maybe after they were discontinued, they were given to someone and passed along to a final owner that would not mind parting with one or both. I`m fond of heavy, mechanical, odd paintball guns from yesturyear. These two examples just about take the cake.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Shadow pup
|He's itchy all year round but I noticed when he is in ac he is a bit better.
|Harry and Lola
I have girl with thyroid issues as well, before treatment she was constantly scratching herself, she always had bad ears - red sore and always scratching them.
I have since put her on Oroxine (similar to Thyorixine), depending on how bad she is as it can flare up especially in hot humid weather, she gets 1 to 1.5 tablets twice a day. She no longer has bad ears and rarely scratches.
The other thing I found helpful was giving organic virgin coconut oil twice a day, they get about 2 tablespoons now, although started them on 1 teaspoon. CO helps as well. Also organic dried seaweed helps with thyroid
If he has thyroid issues and it is hot and humid where you live, you might have to increase his medication.
I commented to you on gibby's thread - your 1st post, not sure if you saw this so copying to your thread
1 - diet change - no carbs, RAW is the only way to do this
2 - look into "Armour" it is a scripted thyroid med but is made from "dissicated thyroid" and works on the T3 and T4, synthetics are only T4
Studies say that natural form is preferred (49% vs. 12% synthetic, other of no opinion either way)...with less side effects
Yes to the "raw, organic, cold pressed, hexane free" Coconut oil.
1tsp/10lbs of body weight, work up slowly as this causes yeast die-off which produce toxins, could overwhelm your dog if too much too soon.
Natural Thyroid 101 | Stop The Thyroid Madness
Sounds like he could be a bit yeasty if his ears bug him too?
Maybe try doing a rinse on his coat with organic apple cider vinegar (with mother), and you can add a teaspoon of ACV to his feed once a day too. I'm assuming your dog is kibble fed? This can make their skin a bit alkaline, the ACV should help. I think it's one cup of ACV with 1 gallon of water for the rinse.
What food are you feeding? If you are not on a grain free formula, maybe try that out?
Is the itching year round, or seasonal?
My guy had seven years of "Non Specific allergies' and an annual shot for 7 years. I started feeding and rubbing Coconut oil on him and the itchiness has all but stopped.
He had vet perscribed Fish oil and it never seemed to make a difference, the Coconut oil has! At the very minimum...couldn't hurt.
Ironhide Kennels: Spice of Life: Coconut Oil
I had the same problem with both of mine. Vet said it was scabies due to the fox population. Spent $115 for the treatment and they're still scratching and licking. Now vet says it's an allergy which is what I thought from the start and told me to use Zyrtec. So I'll give that a try and see if it works.
As a side note, my male itched so bad but couldn't get to it. As a result, he could only get as far as the end of his tail that he licked so much, he actually had exposed bone showing. I got it healing up nicely now. Make sure Shadow doesn't do the same.
|Shadow pup
Scratching and itching.
My six year old Shadow has been scratching and licking him self. I have tried but many things but no solution. He is very playful and while he play doesn't scratchnor lick but when he stops he starts to go to town on him self. He has a low tyroid and he take medicine everyday. I feel so bad for him. I feed him wellness core and only natural treats. He also has problems with his ears time to time.

Phoenix Wins Third Consecutive Game by Shutting out Wisconsin 2-0
By: Jill Wunrow
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - According to Green Bay (7-5-1, 2-2-0) men's soccer head coach Kris Kelderman, the Phoenix has its "swagger" back after posting its third consecutive win with a 2-0 result against Wisconsin (7-5-2, 3-0-0) Wednesday at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The Phoenix not only had the challenge of beating the No. 6 team in the Great Lakes region with an RPI of 22, it had to battle fierce wind conditions that made temperatures feel below freezing.
"It was extremely tough playing," said defender Andrew Stone (Green Bay, Wis.). "It was a story of two halves with us having the ball the entire time with the wind at our backs in the first half and then them controlling the second half."
The 2-0 win over Wisconsin was Green Bay's second consecutive shutout and third of the season after shutting out Butler 1-0 Oct. 15 and SIUE Sept. 1 in its regular season opener.
"One thing we did heading into this week was really challenge our guys to come up big on the defensive side of the ball and take pride in our defense," Kelderman said. "The chances that we've been creating offensively, we know we can do on the defensive side of the ball as well and that's really starting to show."
With the wind at its back the first half, Green Bay led 1-0 at the break. The lone goal of the half came nine minutes into the game when Stuart Grable (Neenah, Wis.) took a corner kick for Green Bay and Alonso Flores (Chicago, Ill.) came up with the header goal while Wisconsin goalie Max Jentsch stepped out of position in an attempt to block the shot.
Wisconsin was unable to fire a shot in the first half as the Phoenix outshot the Badgers 9-0 and 2-0 on corner kicks. The Badgers fired its first shot of the game less than three minutes into the second half before finishing the contest with seven shots, two on goal.
Green Bay proved it could also play against the wind as Kirby Allen (Appleton, Wis.) scored his team-high fourth goal of the season off a long pass from freshman William Donovan (St. Charles, Mo.) on the right side of the field. The assist was Donovan's first of his career.
"In the first half we knew we had to be aggressive with the conditions and then had to do some adjusting in the second half, but thankfully were able to add that goal to put the icing on the cake," said Kelderman. "It was just a great effort by our team."
The Phoenix outshot Wisconsin 11-7 with Allen and Aaron Cranfill (New Berlin, Wis.) leading the way with two shots. Goalie Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.) had two saves, tallying his 17th career shutout, just two shy of tying the individual career record (19) at Green Bay. Grable's assist on the first goal of the game is a team and career-high sixth on the season.
"Our past three wins against three big opponents are very encouraging," said Kelderman. "We got a little swagger back that we had at the beginning of the season and at the same time we never got too low with the lows.
Of the eight coaches in the history of the Green Bay men's soccer program, Kelderman is the third to beat Wisconsin his first time facing the Badgers.
"Every win is a big one but there's probably a little more meaning in this game with it being an in-state rival," Kelderman said. "Wisconsin is a good team and they've proven that over the past couple of weeks so obviously the win is a big one."
Green Bay has four games remaining in regular season play, all against Horizon League opponents. The Phoenix will have a short break before facing league leader Cleveland State (6-6-1, 3-1-1) Saturday at 6 p.m. then returning home to host Detroit (4-7-1, 0-3-1) Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.

Reflecting on the view of the human person from multiple perspectives, the Honors Program class of 2013 has prepared a provocative presentation for the Research Symposium: "Person: The Endangered Species," to be given at 4 p.m. on April 12 in UST's Jones Hall, 3910 Yoakum Blvd.
The Honors Colloquium is the culmination of a four-month Contemporary Problems Seminar, the final course of the Honors Program, in which students select a contemporary problem that interests them and then collaborate on research to present to the University of St. Thomas community. This class studied contemporary understandings of the human person.
Senior biology major Dusty Tobin said the group wanted to pick a topic that is both interesting and has significance in the life of every person.
"We want the audience to walk away from our presentation asking questions about the definition of a human person and the intrinsic value of the human person," Tobin said. "We want people to realize that this affects everyone. We all have fundamental rights, and we all have fundamental responsibilities; we often forget the latter."
An Interdisciplinary Approach
The 11 seniors represent nine majors, and the interdisciplinary project approaches the topic from the perspective of their individual studies. International studies major Marissa Valle said their education is defined by the influence it will have on their actions.
"This project is a fitting conclusion to our studies at the University of St. Thomas," Valle said. "As we continue our work in the world, we will remember the importance of our duty to protect the rights of all, as doctors, government officials, accountants and musicians."
Music major Meeka Opong said the issues are relevant to everyone and will continue to be relevant to their children and grandchildren.
"These problems are important right now, not just in the classroom or in your homework, but in your life," Opong said. "Perhaps you don't feel endangered at the moment, but what about when you give birth, or when you're 87, or in the hospital? Will you wait to think about these issues until then?"
Their presentation addresses a topic that has far reaching implications for medicine, education, economics, and for national and international relations.
Brittany Garza, a mathematics major, said the students were confident in their ability to approach this issue from multiple perspectives because of their conviction that truth in one discipline will not contradict truth in another.
"Truth does not contradict itself," Garza said. "While our discussions at times involve serious disagreements, we trust that we will be able to offer a presentation that truly integrates our diverse points of view."
What is the Human Person?
By focusing on what they call "authentic inclusivity," the students will explore the consequences of extending personhood to all living human beings, from infants to the elderly.
"In this project, I have been forced to think through the implications of universal rights and equality and it has challenged my views in unexpected ways," said Rebecca Reardon, an accounting major. "Without an awareness of these issues, a well-meaning person may adopt views that are detrimental to those we wish to help."
The students assert that popular notions of independence and autonomy have served to excuse people from their responsibility to others and exclude an ever-increasing number of human beings from the category of persons with rights. The presentation is a response to ethical theories that are making radical changes to what it means to be a human person.
Students work as collaborators
English major John Kriescher said the project was not always easy.
"We wrestled with difficult concepts, each other and our own selves in an attempt to make sense of it all," Kriescher said. "However, it is through this struggle that we were able to find significance and apply what we learned to our everyday lives."
The students chose the Rev. Anthony Giampietro, CSB, professor and chair of philosophy, as the faculty member to facilitate their project. He said he enjoyed working with the Honors students.
"Such different personalities, such a variety of interests, they have nevertheless met the challenge of real collaboration," Father Giampietro said. "I am inspired by their willingness to consider changing their own lives in light of what they have learned."
Garza said she looks forward to sharing the presentation with the community.
"We offer this presentation to our friends, families, and professors as an opportunity to think more deeply about the significance of every human life and about how we may need to live differently in order to better to accept our responsibilities to our fellow human beings."
Honors Abstract: "Person: The Endangered Species"
Influential contemporary philosophies of the human person exclude some human beings from the category of persons with rights. These philosophies are often put forward by proponents of tolerance and compassion whose goal is an inclusive and diverse society. In some ways, our society has indeed become more inclusive, but in other ways, we fall short. The fact that we refuse legal protection for some human beings, by defining them out of existence rather than caring for them, is a contemporary problem. Having studied this problem using resources from our various disciplines, we propose a theory that we call authentic inclusivity. This approach eliminates no one, and calls for a greater awareness of our duties to all human beings. Authentic inclusivity goes beyond theoretical discussion, compelling us to recognize even the most vulnerable as persons with rights. We intend to engage and refute contemporary "inclusive" philosophies that are, in reality, exclusive.

Oregon History: Civil War in Oregon
The plunge to Civil War exploded on April 12, 1861, in the bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. When it became apparent the conflict would not be short, the Army began removing regular soldiers from the District of Oregon. Because of the responsibility to guard the reservations and maintain a military presence, especially in central and eastern Oregon where gold discoveries generated a rapid influx of miners and settlers, federal and state officials scrambled to find replacement troops. The Department of the Pacific raised recruits and dispatched companies of California Volunteers to Fort Yamhill, Fort Hoskins, and Siletz Blockhouse. The Army abandoned Fort Umpqua in 1862. The First Oregon Volunteer Cavalry and the First Washington Territory Infantry went to central Oregon. During the Civil War, Oregon raised six companies of cavalry. Known officially as the First Oregon Cavalry, they served until June, 1865.
Secessionist sympathizers surfaced in Oregon. The Knights of the Golden Circle, an anti-Union group, reportedly plotted the seizure of Fort Vancouver, military headquarters on the Columbia River. They did not act. When pro-Confederate partisans raised their flag in Jacksonville, they faced opposition and backed down. The Long Tom Rebellion was perhaps the most noteworthy outbreak of secessionist feeling. Emboldened by the assassination of President Lincoln, Philip Henry Mulkey walked the streets of Eugene on May 6, 1865, shouting: "Hurrah for Jeff Davis, and damn the man that won't!" The First Oregon Volunteer Infantry arrested Mulkey, who promptly grabbed a glass of water and toasted Jeff Davis, the Confederate president. A pro-Union mob, wanting to lynch Mulkey, broke down the jail door. Mulkey slashed one of the men with a hidden knife. Mulkey's supporters from the Long Tom district were ready to fight, but the infantry slipped Mulkey out of town under an armed guard, loaded him on a steamboat, and sent him off to three months in jail at Fort Vancouver. Mulkey sued for $10,000 for false arrest. After 14 court appearances over a two-year period, he settled for $200.
For many of the soldiers the Civil War in Oregon was a monotonous, numbing assignment. In their monthly post returns, officers recorded desertions, suicides, and bouts in the brig because of drunkenness and misbehavior. The Indians were quiet on the Siletz and Grand Ronde Reservations. The rain was predictable and depressing. "Nothing transpired of importance," recorded Royal A. Bensell, a soldier at Fort Yamhill. Too many days brought that refrain in his Civil War diary.
East of the Cascades the troops had active engagement. Gold discoveries at Canyon City and other diggings on the headwaters of the John Day River and in the Powder River country on the eastern slopes of the Blue Mountains had drawn thousands of miners. The Northern Paiute, disrupted in their seasonal round and tempted by the easy pickings of clothing, food, and horses, embarked on raids and conflicts that demanded military intervention. The Oregon Volunteer Infantry and Cavalry established Camp Watson (1864) after placing troops at temporary stations: Dahlgren, Currey, Gibbs, Henderson, and Maury. The forces engaged in lengthy and often fruitless explorations searching for the elusive Indians.
Realizing that the problems east of the Cascades were of long duration, the U.S. Army established Fort Klamath (1863), Camp Warner (1866), and Fort Harney (1867). During the summer of 1864 Captains John M. Drake and George B. Curry and Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Drew led troops on sweeps through southeastern Oregon, northern Nevada, and southwestern Idaho. They had little success in finding the "enemy." "These tribes can be gathered upon a reservation, controlled, subsisted for a short time, and afterwards be made to subsist themselves," commented the superintendent of Indian affairs, "for one-tenth the cost of supporting military forces in pursuit of them." In time that happened. The Klamath Reservation and the short-lived Malheur Reservation included various bands of Northern Paiute. The Civil War in Oregon mostly involved guarding reservations or pursuing native peoples who were masters of escape in their own homelands.

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race
This is the link you click to buy this shirt after April 25th
It's pretty.. I just done understand all the watery shirts anymore. Grats
Not for me. Kinda boring
Fantastic! :D Stayed up for this one...good work, Cho.
great design, but to big for me
I can't decide if I like the color o.O
Also, I still don't know if Medium fits me properly, so idk if I've been ordering shirts too small >_>
Congrats Cho on 1st place! I wanted this the first time it was subbed
I could have sworn I saw this in the "Water" derby entries...
it's pretty...and i like it better on the royal, but just not my thing. congrats though cho...good to see a woot favorite get a second chance. pretty strong finish for it too!
i wouldve gotten the shirt if there wasnt a whale and a dock thing.
Looks a lot like that "Lady in the Water" shirt I think it was. Same designer?
Stayed up just for this one. Great work!
Yay! I got one!
Now the wait until it gets here. Thanks, Mr. Cho!
Well heck, I guess my little square box doesn't change color until they have $$ in hand. *sigh*
Oh, there it goes.
I was really hoping for the army guys tonight. I'm in for one of these though. Hopefully I can snag one of the army ones tomorrow night.
Great shirt! In for 1.
I thought this was a neat design, I just have too many blue shirts. Not in.
holy first sucker me??!?!?!, considering you can arguably blame me for this not tieing in the water derby. Not sure if it was the color changes in the lines or just the royal in general over the light blue, but I find it substantially more appealing.
over 1100 votes for this one? seriously?
My 2nd shirt woot ever, and this one is great!! I cant wait to get it
baronofthebean wrote:I could have sworn I saw this in the "Water" derby entries...
I agree...it looks almost exactly the same, based on my memory.
None for me.
I didn't like this during the water derby. I groaned when I saw it return this derby. I groan again that it's got first place.
Nothing against the artist, mind you... this simply is not my cup of tea. I don't see "stylized motion" as the derby requested here.... then again, nothing in the fog (or the majority of the rest of the derby for that matter) displayed motion in a stylized fashion.
I don't think woot will be seeing any of my dollars this weekend. Oh well, more for me. ;)
Excelsior is a city on the waters of Lake Minnetonka, which is the lake made famous by The Artist (ie Prince).
I hope that "placement center" doesn't substantially alter the way the shirt looked like when I voted for it. I really think having the dock be much nearer the bottom of the shirt makes it look a lot more artistic. Plus... it's the way I voted for it *giggles*.
Other than that... right on, glad I stayed up tonight.
Tim2me wrote:I was really hoping for the army guys tonight. I'm in for one of these though. Hopefully I can snag one of the army ones tomorrow night.
You and me both.
Yes! It won! I so badly wanted this design when it was in the water derby.
Can't wait to wear it.
That's pretty damn awesome. Reminds me of the tidal wave images in Japanese art.
Amazing design, congrats to the artist. Definitely in for one here. woot!
1154 votes? holy carp! people REALLY like big waves!
thought i seen this before, anyway not for me tho.
I bought this one, but I would not have bought the one in the water entry. This color schematic is much nicer than that one, IMHO.
I don't get it. Looks alot like "Lady in Water". Not my taste at all.
Sorry not big into the wave stuff. I would of preferred the on with Issac Newton under the tree. That shirt would of been nerd +3 at least.
chinacatridr wrote:over 1100 votes for this one? seriously?
cause it's seriously awesome! ;)
been waiting for this since the H2O derby, plus i don't have any royal blue AA shirt. in for 1!
need to see a higher res pic before i get one
can't tell PAAAaaaAAaaaanCAAAAAKES! the fish looks like (it looks just ugly, not scary in the horribly low-res pic posted)
Gorgeous, congrats Cho! In for one.
Glad to see this one again; I was disappointed when it lost last time. Now I'd just to like to see one of Edgar's shirts win.
This didn't grab me during the Water derby, but I LOVE it on the royal. Not sure why it makes such a difference. Maybe it just needed to spend some time in my head Excited about it, regardless. Congrats to Cho!
(I think during the Water derby, I was too distracted by Nessie to notice )
Do asian people wear asian looking art? It seems like we never do... This does look like its inspired by hokusai.

How comparable is the recoil of the HK45 to the USP 45 either in full size or compact?
Printable View
How comparable is the recoil of the HK45 to the USP 45 either in full size or compact?
Can't compare both of them, But I did have a USP .45 for a long time that was a hell of a pistol, but wayyyyy too big for my hands. Yeah, probably doesn't help you at all.
I agree with Rupert that the H&K 45's are bulky for sure....
The recoil between the two are quite similar. The major benefit that leads to the HK45 is the improved ergonomics, they simply can't be beat. In addition, the longer mag release improves overall weapons handling. The HK45 is well worth the premium.
A friend of mine had one and said that the mag release would occasionally activate while in his blackhawk holster and drop the magazine during carry. Is this common?
I used to carry and shoot the USP 45, great gun. It is a bit bulky, they both are.
There is a larger holster selection for the USP.
Recoil is the same. The HK 45 is a Rolls Royce compared to the USP 45. Trigger, interchangable grip pads, o-ring barrel, phosphours sites, and on and on. The two pistols are not comparable except for the caliber and recoil. Get the HK45.
I have a P30 & a HK45 not the c, all are great and cant be compared to the 20 year old USP design. The holster thing, there is no reason for that other than bad design I use Comp-tac stuff iwb and owb, never a problem. The only problem I have with these guns is riding the slide stop.
Good Luck
How is the P30? What is it like vs. the P2000 and USP 9mm? I'm mostly a 9mm guy and I've been tossing around the idea of picking up an HK, and I've heard their .45s are like nothing else...but there's the cost of ammo, controlability, commonality of cleaning supplies and ammunition...
In my opinion, the P30 and the P2000 are quite similar, with the main difference being the frame. As you are aware, the P30 has aggressive grip texture and can be rather uncomfortable when carrying IWB. The P2000 has a relatively smooth frame and dimensionally, is a tad smaller than the P30. The P30 is by far, my favorite HK but the P2000 is no slouch, either. For hot summer carry, the P2000SK 9mm is my main carry sidearm.

Gay Rights Group Files Human Rights Complaint Against T-Shirt Company
A Lexington, KY t-shirt company is under investigation by the city's Human Rights Commission after they refused to print t-shirts for a local gay rights organization.
The owner of "Hands On Originals," a well-known t-shirt company in the region, declined to print the shirts for the city's Gay and Lesbian Services Organization (GLSO) because it would conflict with their Christian convictions.
The privately owned company is now accused of violating Lexington's Fairness Act – which protects people and organizations from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The attacks are out of line, said Jim Campbell, an attorney with Alliance Defense Fund, the organization representing "Hands On Originals."
"No business owner should be forced to violate his conscience simply because someone demands it," he said. "The Constitution absolutely supports the rights of business owners to decline a request to support a message that conflicts with their deeply held convictions."
Raymond Sexton, the executive director of the Human Rights Commission told Fox News that "Hands On Originals" will be "required by law to participate in the investigation."
"We have subpoena power and have the backing of the law," he said. "We are a law enforcement agency and people have to comply."
Should the company be found guilty of discriminating against the homosexuals Sexton said they could be subjected to fines.
"Hands On Originals" has faced a barrage of attacks since the accusations were made public. More than 2,000 people have joined a boycott movement on Facebook. Another group is trying to buy the company's mortgage so they can be evicted.
The Fayette County public school system placed a temporary hold on buying t-shirts from the company until the issue is resolved. The University of Kentucky is also reviewing its future business with the t-shirt maker.
Even Lexington's openly gay mayor has condemned the privately-owned t-shirt company, telling the Lexington Herald-Leader "People don't have patience for this sort of attitude today."
"I'm against discrimination, period," Gray said in a statement released to television station WKYT. "It's bad for business and bad for the city. I support the Human Rights Commission in a full and thorough investigation."
GLSO wanted "Hands On Original" to print shirts for the city's fifth annual Lexington Pride Festival. The store offered to find another company that would honor its price – but that wasn't good enough for the GLSO.
"Our feeling on that is, separate but equal wasn't okay during the civil rights movement and it's not okay now," Aaron Baker told the television station. Baker is board president of GLSO.
Blaine Adamson is the managing owner of "Hands on Originals." He defended his company in an op-ed that appeared in the Lexington Herald-Leader and unequivocally denied that he is guilty of discrimination.
"I decided to pass on the opportunity because, as a Christian owner, I cannot in good conscience endorse groups or events that run counter to my convictions," Adamson wrote in the op-ed.
Adamson, who has been in business for more than 20 years, wrote that he "does not expect, or even ask, people to agree with my view."
"All I ask for people is to respect my right as an owner to not produce a product that is contrary to my principles," he wrote.
Adamson called on people to stand up for the rights of small business owners not "to be forced into producing a product with a message that conflicts with their beliefs and consciences."
"Over the past 20 years, we have declined to produce several other products with different messages than the one at issue here because we disapproved of whatever message it was, and it never had anything to do with discrimination," he wrote. "People reading this may disagree with my view on the current issue, but I hope they will join us in supporting our right to decline an order that promotes a view so contrary to our personal beliefs."
As a result of Adamson's stand, he's started to lose business from public organizations.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, condemned the attacks on the t-shirt company and said Adamson has as much freedom to reject homosexuality as his customers do to endorse it.
"The Left still insists that personal morality take a backseat to its radical agenda," Perkins said. "Whether it's a t-shirt company, wedding photographer, or the church, homosexuals will not be satisfied until they compel us to either spread their perversion or promote it."
Sexton told Fox News it could take up to six months to investigate the charges.

Collinson FX market Commentary: December 6, 2012
The NZ Reserve bank Governor has just announced that the Official Cash rate will remain unchanged at 2.5%.
Markets rallied overnight with Obama mooting a resolution within a week. Republicans look likely to cave in to Democratic demands and allow tax rises while ignoring spending cuts. A seriously divided country now approaches the brink with the election giving Obama the high ground.
Factory Orders rose 0.8% and the ADP Jobs report was inline with expectations thereby confirming pre election improvements. The EUR remained steady trading 1.3075 and allowed bulls to regain last weeks momentum. The RBA cut rates by 0.25%, as expected, but failed to dissuade investors in the AUD which rallied to 1.0475 supporting the still healthy interest rate differential.
GDP increased by 0.5% for the quarter but incremental gains were marginal at best. The Australian economy is starting to stall and the writing appears to be on the wall with monetary policy reflecting that.
Today will focus on RBNZ intentions with little expected as the Governor balances inflationary pressures with failing growth. Macro Political decisions from the US and Europe will continue to dictate market direction.
Collinson FX market Commentary: December 5, 2012
Equity markets were flat overnight with no earth shattering news to move the needle. Obama rejected the Republicans offer for a deal on the Fiscal Cliff insisting that taxes be raised on upper income earners. The soap opera will continue until the last minute allowing a less than satisfactory result to be accepted as an emergency measure like all solutions under Obama.
Increased taxes and spending will come exasperating the already critical debt/deficit situation and driving the once great US towards socialist Europe. In Europe EU Finance Ministers met to slap another plaster on the gaping wound and the EUR traded 1.3090.
The Global Economic position did not fill the RBA with confidence as they cut rates to a record low emergency level. 3% is the level of rates post-GFC and reflects the RBA's view of Global demand with storms gathering in Europe and the US.
This had little impact on the currency which actually rose to 1.0475 as expectations were met. Look for Australian economic data to drive local markets today and Eco-Political developments in the US and Europe longer term.
Collinson FX market Commentary: December 4, 2012
China's Manufacturing rose with the PMI breaking above 50, showing expansion in the sector. This is good news for growth and demand. In Europe Greece announced a debt buy back program to reduce the crippling debt that is drowning the country and dragging the EU with it.
Merkel also hinted that the Germans may accept debt write-off into the mix which further boosts the bailout package. It also removes what little credibility the EU had in terms of the single currency and rules surrounding member nations. Merkel will pay a price politically in next years elections for Greek bailouts and could pay the ultimate political price. In the US, Manufacturing contracted with the ISM falling below the all-important 50 to 49.5! This surprised many bulls who have been talking the sector higher but is instead likely to signal a trend of poor economic indicators as the economy slips back in to recession.
Theatrics continue with the Fiscal negotiations and nothing serious is likely to evolve until the deadline is upon them at years end. The drama is part of the political game being acted out with a solution likely, but that solution likely to be detrimental to the US and Global economy. Taxes will rise and the necessary cuts are likely to be largely ignored.
The EUR rallied on the news to 1.3050 and the GBP to 1.6100. Commodity currencies drifted despite the rally in risk assets with a string of weak economic data and prospects of an interest rate cuts in Australia. Australian PMI fell along with Retail Sales and Job Advertisements all confirming the deterioration in the local economy as costs rise and mining returns fall.
The RBA is likely to cut interest rates today which will relieve recent upward pressures on the currency. The KIWI tested 0.8200 although the AUD looks set to test 1.0400 on the downside. Look out for the RBA decision today to impact local markets with accompanying commentary likely to be food for thought!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
This is a good zombie thread... (some threads can be brought back from the dead and fit right back in with the living)
Techinspector1 and oldguy829...
OUCH! those hurt.
Not nearly as good as those, but one that I just remembered..
One time I couldn't get the glove box door open in my 78 Monte Carlo..(yes I owned a monte once )
So I took the majority of the dashboard apart to get to what I thought was a broken latch....it needed oil.
I'll try to remember some more.
One time at Poli-Form I built one of the coupe bodies with hidden hinges instead of the stock ones that the customer ordered.
No big deal , I found it on the day he was supposed to pick up the body. when doing the delivery checklist... .
(hidden or stock hinges take about the same amount of time to install, but they are installed in the body at the 40 hour point in a 130 hour total build time....That was one screwup that did not get undone that day.. )
Later, mikey
screw ups
This is my first total paint job, so I'm trying to make every screw up possible. Allowing too much flash time between coats of epoxy, and the tip clogs up and starts spitting everwhere. Not getting the gun reassembled tightly after the last cleaning, so in the middle of spraying the roof an adjuster comes loose and drips paint on the roof. So, finally, spraying clearcoat yesterday, I run cleaner through the gun to keep the nozzle clean for the final coat of clear. Of course the cleaner was not compatible with the clear. What looked like a perfect coat going on, had a thousand little solvent pop pits a half hour later.
This week I get to strip it and start over.
Posted this in another thread, but will repeat it here....
Swapped a 302 Ford/C4 into a Mitsubishi pickup. Assembled trans to motor and installed as a unit. Got all hooked up and ready to fire the motor when I looked over at my toolbox shelf and eyeballed the splined driveshaft that goes between the torque converter and the trans pump. DUH!!! No room to pull trans alone, couldn't get to bellhousing bolts. Had to pull the whole shebang from the front.
Last fall, drove my old beater Ford pickup to the dragstrip to tech inspect on Friday night. Quit at 11 PM and turned the key to go home. Slight noise from starter, then...Nothing. Engaged starter switch several more times, Nothing. Checked headlights, yep, so cables and battery are ok. Had my co-workers push start it (5-spd). All it would do is skid the rear tires. Motor locked up. The bearings had been clattering for at least 2 years, so I figured one of them wadded up on the crank. Towed it home and began the tear-down. Got everything off the motor and ready to pull. Went to pull the starter. Didn't want to move. Got out "Dirty Harry", a 3-ft. screwdriver I keep for just such occasions. Pried it out. What had been holding it in was a thrust washer off the starter bendix that had broken in half and lodged itself between the pinion and the ring gear. All I would have to have done is to jiggle the truck BACKWARDS in gear and the washer would have fallen out, freeing up the motor and fixing it with a $20 starter. But NOOOOOOOOO. Not me. I'm not that smart. Awww, what the hey, it needed bearings anyway.
Runs like a top now, a thousand dollars later.
OK, You can tell when you have been doing this toooooo long.
On a 1995 Mercury Villager Van, same as a Nissan Quest. It came in for 'groaning' rear brakes.
So I think this will be Easy.
I check the rear brake adjustment, and level sensor, OK.
Front caliper pressures, would not release completely.
So I loosen the 'nuts' holding the master cylinder to the power brake unit.
Pressures dropped. I adjust the push rod, and I'm thinking "job done", NOT Still the "groan".
So I check the brake pedal height. I find it 1" lower than the 'Factory' spec's, and make the adjustment. Job Done Yet? (Chip says no).
The test drive was OK for the first block. It felt like the engine was loosing power. I turn around, and started going back to my shop.
Let me tell you, it was way down on power by the time I got back to the shop. (Chip's saying 'it is going to be a long day you screw-up') (I would much rather have talked to his brother 'LOGin' at this point ) It barely made it back. 2 blocks total?
OK they fought as brothers will do. Chip LOGin , and LOGin knocked some sense into Chip, or me.
I readjusted the master cylinder push rod, and they and their cousin 'groan' left.
I deduce it is most likely Chip yanking the 'crate' out from under my feet.
OK that was just the 2 cold ones that were left(12oz). LOL
|wretched ratchet
Decided to put new whitewalls and steelies on the 55 two years ago and I wanted to go a little larger than what was on there so I measured and ordered them from Coker.
They came mounted and balanced and when I went to put the rear tires on - - - I couldn't raise the body high enuff to get the tire on - - - - soooooooo I disconnected the bottom of the shock and stuck them suckers on and then reconnected the shock - - - they look and ride great.
I know you are probably asking yourself - - "What if he has a flat on the rear?" - - - - funny cause I've said the same thing !

lets see
Valve cover leaking on my 69 Ford when I'd park it it looked like it'd blown up. Drove home in a 76 F-100 with the emergency brake on. The radio in my 92 Civic stayed locked on one channel and the volume would not go down so I punched it about 10 times and nearly jerked it out going down the road. When I got home it would work fine. I'm sure the is more, I just can't remember them
I have been asked that question 100's of times. "Who are you talking to?"
My answer, Just Chip sitting on my shoulder.
It is funny to watch the "boss'es" reactions
Most have done an excellent impression of "Dumbo". Some just shake their heads back and forth, like a horses tail swatting flies, as they walk away. LOL

Its your alter ego that pulls on that milk crate 3 ~ 4 times in a row !.
Like taking 4 per cut shots in the gut while all 220 lbs. is on the fender.
And I still use the milk crate.
Well if its not him ....Maybe its one of them people {imaginary} that I'm talking to all the time?
One of my ex bosses comes up on me one day & I'm just ratchet jawing away.
He say 'who the hell are you talking to"?
My Reply;
Do you agree I do more than one persons job around here?
He said yes.
Well that is the Boss telling the worker to get to work ,.....now did you come here to work?
He promptly drove away.

Bbbuuutttt does it check it before you screw up? LOL
Like the time I was leaning over the grill of a 'jacked up' truck, reinstalling the power steering pump pulley. The 'crate' I was standing on kept sliding back, sending my chest into the radiator support.
Well I proudly, finally get the pulley back on, but the belt did not line up.
Once again I had to retrieve that 'crate', I had kicked away.
This was when I saw the pulley on back-wards.
Isn't it a good idea to replace the pulley anyways, when replacing the pump?
Not that it would have mattered in this case anyways.
That is why I asked that question.
I just noticed there is only a couple cold ones left in the fridge.
I figure after those and a couple more, my memory will get better.
Believe me. There are many more 'screw-up mistakes' I have made over the years.
Some I would like to forget forever, but sharing is just more fun. Don't they say "Talking about it, is better than holding it in", isn't it?

I swapped out the rear end in mu 85 BURB from a semi Floater to a full floater.
I filled it u[ with gear oil & drove to my Friends shop on the way back I hear this Schrunching noise so I limp home bout mile & half pull sown the right side & theres no oil! I had to use a slide hammer to get the hub off.
I wound up adding a xtra half a quart thru the vent tube!
I almost welded the race to the tube
Also went full synthetic.
This is an oldie but goody. I can't resist revisiting this one.
OK here goes.
I used to do a lot of re-ring jobs on Toyota 20R's and 22RE's. One came back to bite me right where my wallet goes. In my haste to finish one up, I had a brain f-rt, and forgot to clean the block out good. Do you know that the honing grit destroy's the cylinder head also?
Another time I put a 302EFI in a Ford Bronco. On it's first swart-up, I am sitting in the drivers seat revving it up, and getting real upset because of NO Oil pressure. I looked at my tool cart, and saw the unopened oil filter box, at the same time a passer-by asked me what the big puddle on the floor was.
Someone else had pulled a 3.1 out of a Buick Regal. It was my job to put it back in. Well I could not get the crank sensor wire any where close to the sensor, sooooo I thunk I'd just splice an extension into the wires. Well it would not run. For 3 days I tried to figure out what was wrong, knowing it was nothing I had done. Come on it was just 2 wires spliced and lengthened, how tough is that? Well I got someone else to come and look at it, and found out, if you cross those 2 stupid wires it won't run.
Do you know those 55 gallon drums full of recycled coolant? If you don't get the hose stuck back in the top of the drum, it will siphon all 55 gallons onto the shop floor.
On a Chevy Blazer, I was looking all under and inside, for a rolling bump sound, every time you hit the gas, or hit the brake. A 6'6" tall guy walks by and asked me if I knew there was 2 tennis balls on the roof. Turns out the guy who owns it, has a dog that likes to chew the knobs on his riding lawn mower. So he cut slots in the tennis balls, to put over the knobs, and forgot where he had put them.
I found out when standing behind a BBC in a drag boat, tailoring a new set of plug wires, it's easy to wire it up in the wrong rotation.
And I don't eat brownies!
Craked a 450 corvette windshield back in tech school. Teacher let me know the cost. They ended up having it drilled and filled. Also in school, painting a football helmet for someone in thier school colors. Was starting to get a hanger, so I grabbed the heat lamp, figuring it should help stop it from running down the whole helmet. Went to the bathroom and then got sidetracked doing something else. One of the instructors had moved the heat lamp closer, and when I got back to it it was all warped and lopsided. Other kids seemed to think it was funny.
The two back in tech school days that come to mind had to be most embarrasing, I fortuanately didn't do. I am working on a 68 cougar for one of my dads coworkers, and all of a sudden a these little yellow blobs are falling on the car. I am like what the f is going on here. Look way across shop, one of the students put too much pressure in the undercoating gun, his face and glasses were filled in yellow goo and way up on the ceiling (which was pretty dang high) there is a big glob.
Two older guys in class went in the booth to paint a toyota pickup. One side was all dry sprayed, the other solid runs. They never turned on the booth exhaust and came out looking like smurfs.
Sitting in the mechanics shop for that portion of our studies, an elderly gentle man comes in to ask about getting his car serviced. Instructor says, you will have to come back at another time, we are in the middle of class. Old guy must a been a bit thirsty. He decides to take a drink from the bubbler (water fountain for you non Wisconsin folks). Only problem is it was an eye wash, and two streams come out hitting his face and glasses more then his mouth. Couldn't have been too tasty either. Not something you want to do in a classroom full of young, still imature kids.
When younger I buffed a friends escort out for him. Was cleaning my buffing pad with a screwdriver. The buffer ripped the screwdriver out of my hand and shot it across the garage. It missed my friend by inches, about the right height in a place you really wouldn't want to go to the emergency room with a screwdriver poking into.
Dropped the fuel tank in one of my cars recently to change the fuel pump, Put tank back up, and hook up hoses. Forgot to hook up plug and was sitting on top of tank. Ohh well drop it back down.
Few weeks ago was getting out the door to work a bit late. Get to work and have on one good shoe and one work shoe. Hey least I had my pants on.
I hate to imagine things I've done when I use to get wasted, and I am sure there are many more I've done.
A forum member here once said he installed carpet in the wrong home, wonder who would have done something like that?
That not quitting until you get to a good stopping place is a good one! Getting distracted in the middle of a job can be BAD! lol
Hubby is getting ready to take his car to the track. He opens the pit **** on his catch can and wanders off to load something else into the truck while it's draining. Forgets to close it. First pass of the evening she stands up hard launching, sloshes water into the can through the still open pit ****, and onto the track. He goes a few feet, hits the water, makes a hard right, and hits the guardrail!
A racing buddy is putting a fresh bottle of NOS into his rig in the backseat area of his car at the track. Someone stops by to talk to him and he neglects to finish tightening the line to the bottle. The line comes loose during his burnout but he doesn't notice anythings amiss until his car fails to leave like it should. He's busy thinking about all the possible causes when he realizes that he's drifted across the center line and he feels like he's going to pass out! He manages to jerk it back into his lane, scrubs it against the wall trying to get it stopped in a hurry, opens the door, and falls out onto the track before passing out. Everyone thought that he'd had a heart attack at first until a track worker hit the kill switch on the car. At that point they could hear 900 psi of nitrous pouring from the bottle. He was fine but he'll NEVER live it down. te he
Me?!? I never Duh moments. I have OH $#IT moments. That's when you have just enough time to think, "Oh $#IT! This is going to hurt!", before it does.
embarrasing screw ups
Most embarrasing--- My son (10) is racing Jr. Dragsters. Straight alcohol in a 5hp briggs block. Couple of passes, we'd change oil to get rid of the acohol build up. He qualifies for the finals, so we change the oil and push her to the line. Of course in the excitement, I forgot to put the oil filler plug in tight. It's at the top of the motor. It lubes from a slinger on the crank. Within seconds of firing it up, the lid blows and it looks like spindle top. Got a 12 foot spray of oil drenching the lane, the starter, the other car. Being the final, all the racers, families, spectators were watching. Naturally we are disqualified.
Have done dumber things, but the crowds were smaller, and I didn't take my son down with me.
My list is VERY long but the most embarrassing has to be the one that occurred in front of a fairly large crowd back in the mid 70's. I was racing my C/A (pic below) at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove, WI. The altered was a Volkswagen shell over a Chapman funny car chassis with a SBC up front and the battery mounted in the back where the VW originally sat.
For some reason I had the battery out between rounds and when I put it back in I neglected to fasten it down and only had the connectors set loosely on the posts. When I made my next pass and stood it up on the wheelie bars in second gear, the battery went flying, hit the rear "trunk" lid, popping it open, and the battery went merrily bouncing down the drag strip.
In those days we were allowed tow vehicles in the competition classes so my wife was following me down the track in our Blazer. She simply stopped, nonchalantly picked up the battery and put it in the car, and continued down the track. Fortunately, the altered had built up a big enough head of steam that I was able to coast it over the finish line and onto the return road or it would have even been MORE embarrassing getting towed off the track. But needless to say, this is not the way to impress a large gathering of hot rodders.

I couldn't figure out what I don't like about the shirt because I love dragon shirts but it is the 2D effect. The dragons just look too generic to me and I would have loved to see more personality than textbook dragon. I still think it's a cute idea and that kids would like it. Congrats on getting in the fog.

Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Who hasn't had a good face scrub with nothing but an old Kleenex out of mom's purse and some good ole' spit?

The navy's okay, but I think you'd want to go with brown for it, espeically since you use the shirt color for the trunk of the tree.
What would make this shirt more appealing, I think, would be if you did something interesting with the big green "leaf area." Right now it's just a big green blob on the shirt... how about if you filled it with small leaves (some light green, some dark green) or perhaps spotted the big green blob with small pink flowers?
Love the idea... hope you manage to find an audience with it.

Possibly. I think I've heard both. I know my mom has said 'born in a barn' before. Plus 'born in a barn' was much easier to create.

I like the idea of 'wearable' tattoos. It makes sense for those of us afraid of commitment.
Will it come in 'flesh' tones so it looks like you're nude and it's an actual tattoo?

Cool idea, it does seem very close to the original song. It looks like you only changed two words to 'shirt'. Nice shirt but you posed the obvious question.
Very well done, I'm not a big cat person myself but I still might have to buy one of these.

Josephus wrote:? I can see 4 colors besides the dark grey of the shirt color. white, blue, light grey, black. That gives you two more colors you didn't use.
Can you give us a closer view so we can see the other colors that don't show up?
It can be hard to see. There's white, black, gold (in the eyes) blue, light gray, and dark gray, and also the shirt color. The dark gray on the bear and the shadow gray are 2 different grays. My original idea included other animals as well.
This design was more about learning how to submit for me anyway, I just wanted to make sure I knew how to do it.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to make the baby less awkward looking, I would love some suggestions!
Ugh, my mom use to do that all the time. I guess I was always getting stuff on my face :-/

Re: The Mother Recipe (please click)
The text reads:
The Mother Recipe
- 37 Lts. water
- 15 lbs. Unconditional Love
- 15 lbs. OverBEARing Protection
- 10 lbs. Hugs 'N' Kisses
- 9 lbs. Culinary Expertise
- dash of Omniscience
Pre-heat oven to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour Unconditional Love and OverBEARing Protection in water. Mix until it's thick with love and tells you to be careful not to burn yourself!
Throw in as many Hugs 'N' Kisses as you can (don't be alarmed if you here some smacking noises; those are the kisses hard at work).
Slowly stir in Culinary Expertise and you'll receive a compliment on your baking skills.
Add a dash of Omniscience and the mix will know what's best for you, and where you are and what you're doing at all times! (growth of eyes in back of head is normal!)
Pour batter in mom-shaped pan and bake for 9 months.
I would love to buy this for my neices/ nephews if it came in baby sizes... that would be great!

When drawing animals it's very tempting to just follow the outline an animal creates in a photo or painting, but to make really convincing forms it's important to know the animal inside and out. Start with a sketch of the skeleton... nothing detailed, just a few lines to indicate where the main bones (spine, arms, legs, etc.) are resting. Then draw loose ovals around the bones to flesh out the muscles and fat. Lastly the skin and fur overlaying the ovals will provide the final shape the animal takes.
Hope that helps!

No designs make it past their surly critique, and no t-shirt ever gets printed, and all the Woot shirt fans go without.
Isn't the way we do it now so much better? Freedom of expression, people. Freedom of choice. Woot's rules are sufficient for their purposes, and they have shown that they are flexible in listening to the demands of the Committee, but in the meanwhile, how about curbing the criticism for a while, and kicking back, and enjoying what the artists have to offer each week?
(Maybe Valium would help the Committee members. They seem to have their knickers in a big ol' twist most if not all of the time! )

LAKE TAHOE WEDDING IN SEPTEMBERSeptember, 2008 in Lake Tahoe, NV
"Our wedding in Lake Tahoe was definitely the best day of my life. We were married in late September and could not have asked for better weather on our wedding day. We were incredibly satisfied with our venues who went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. Lake Tahoe itself is absolutely beautiful and is the place where I've always dreamed of having getting married. I would recommend our vendors to anyone getting married in Lake Tahoe in the future."

Tahoe City, CA, United States
"We used D'Lish catering in Tahoe City to create our wedding cake. Since we were getting married in the fall, we wanted a cake that reflected the theme of the season and Jen did an excellent job of creating that for us. Not only was it beautiful but it was quite delicious too! We were so pleased with how the cake turned out and would recommend using D'Lish to anyone looking for someone to design their cake."
Stefan Hack/Pyramid Focus PhotographyKensington, CA 94707, USA
"Stefan did such an amazing job at our wedding and we were incredibly happy with how our pictures turned out. He was so much fun to work with and took such amazing photos throughout our wedding day. We really wanted to capture the beauty of Lake Tahoe in our pictures and that's exactly what Stefan did. Frequently visiting Lake Tahoe, Stefan was very familiar with the area which made it easier for us to find great locations to take our shots. Stefan really listened to what we wanted in our photos and was incredibly patient with us throughout the entire day. From pre-ceremony to near the end of our reception, Stefan was there capturing moments and memories that we will always cherish. I would definitely recommend hiring Stefan as your wedding photographer. www.pyramidfocus.com"
St. Francis of Assisi Church
"My husband and I really wanted to have an outdoor ceremony, but after visiting St.Francis we were convinced that this is where we wanted to get married. The backdrop of the church is absolutely stunning with views of the lake and the mountains. The church has been completely renovated and they did a really nice job of incorporating natural features into the architecture and bringing the outside indoors. I'm so glad that we decided to get married at St. Francis."
The Chateau955 Fairway Blvd
Incline Village-Crystal Bay, NV 89451, US
"The ballroom at the Chateau was exactly what we were looking for when searching for a reception site. Tucked away in the mountains, the venue still had a view of the lake and had an elegant lodge-like feel on the inside. The terrace attached to the room was a bonus and a perfect location for our cocktail hour. I was blown away when I walked inside for the first time and saw how beautiful the room looked. The food was fantastic and the price was definitely fair compared to other places we looked at in the same area. The staff really did an incredible job of making sure that everything ran smoothly and keeping our guests (and us) happy. We were really impressed with the overall result and the efforts of everyone at the Chateau who made our reception truly amazing."

For Padres, interesting times ahead
The San Diego Padres are headed in a new direction, and not simply because they are under new ownership.
Club officials, encouraged by the team's recent surge, could adjust their offseason plans in two ways, according to sources with knowledge of the Padres' thinking.
One, by keeping third baseman Chase Headley.
Two, by signing at least one free-agent starting pitcher.
The Padres are 41-30 since June 10, the fourth-best record in the National League — and best in the NL West. Headley, the subject of trade discussions in July, has a .921 OPS since the All-Star break, 15th best in the NL.
Why mess with success?
The Padres are asking themselves that very question, sources say — and leaning against trading Headley this winter. Instead, Headley would remain their No. 3 hitter through 2014 and possibly longer if he signs an extension.
Top prospect Jedd Gyorko, a possible successor to Headley at third, still would join the team next season, but at second base. The Padres' lineup, then, could look something like this:
Will Venable, RF
Gyorko, 2B
Headley, 3B
Carlos Quentin, LF
Yasmani Grandal, C
Yonder Alonso, 1B
Cameron Maybin, CF
Everth Cabrera, SS
Not bad. And the team's bench — with players such as infielder Logan Forsythe and outfielders Chris Denorfia, Mark Kotsay and Jesus Guzman — wouldn't be bad, either.
Starting pitching, then, would be the Padres' biggest concern, particularly when so many of their young starters will be coming off injuries next season.
The Pads could re-sign right-hander Jason Marquis as a veteran complement to righty Edinson Volquez and lefty Clayton Richard. But if possible, sources say, they also would like to add a higher-impact starter — maybe even New York Yankees righty Hiroki Kuroda.
Padres general manager Josh Byrnes long has liked Kuroda, first trying to sign him out of Japan as the Arizona Diamondbacks' GM in 2007, only to lose him to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Byrnes actually tried again last offseason, but he didn't have enough payroll flexibility to afford both Kuroda and Quentin.
Under new ownership, that could change.
If not Kuroda, the Padres could end up with another veteran free agent from a group that is expected to include Ryan Dempster, Anibal Sanchez and Edwin Jackson, and possibly Dan Haren, Ervin Santana and Gavin Floyd.
Exciting stuff for a team that started the season 20-41 — a team that suddenly looks like it might contend sooner rather than later.
— Ken Rosenthal

That's a grand idea, nice to see someone giving support to artists.
Only because I am in the process of moving will I wait to submit something to your project but the deadline is definitely within my time-frame. I'll message you in awhile, so thanks for offering this, sounds good.
I do have 2 pieces posted on myspace currently @: myspace.com/mrericnboyd.
However, my profile is set to private, so if you'd like to take a peek, please send a friend request. That applies to anyone reading this, and I support zines on myspace, so all zinesters are welcome!
I do apologize for having it set to private, but someone hacked and phished my account and several of my friends, literally just yesterday, so I had to change my settings. Please don't be put off by me having it set to private, the odds are really good I'll accept your friend request if you message with your request. Thanks.
I will upload more pieces there soon and here as well.
Other than size requirements, are there any other do's or don'ts pertaining to the art, in terms of subject matter?

'"There's not a whole lot of coaches that can say they've got 300 wins," said winning goaltender Martin Biron, who's been with the Sabres throughout Ruff's tenure. "That's definitely a big honor, especially in a season like this year where it's a 100-point season. It's big. That's big all around."'
