The Destructors
The Story of Northern Ireland's Lost Peace Process
Kerr, Michael
The Destructors is the story of lost opportunities. On New Year's Day, 1974, Northern Ireland's first Secretary of State, William Whitelaw, convinced unionist and nationalist leaders to set aside irreconcilable differences and long-held principles and enter into a power-sharing government at Stormont. A few months later, the government collapsed, poisoned by factionalism. Taking a fresh and dynamic look at what the idea of power-sharing meant to the different parties in the Northern Ireland conflict, The Destructors examines how the Northern Ireland Executive was subsequently destroyed in May 1974 by an unconstitutional political strike that was called by the Ulster Workers' Council. The book details how the Executive's fate was sealed when power-sharing was abandoned by Heath's successor, Harold Wilson, following an ill-timed Westminster general election in February. This study draws upon previously unavailable British and Irish archival material and over 40 interviews with officials central to a peace process that led to an Anglo-Irish settlement at Sunningdale in December 1973. It reexamines why Northern Ireland's power-sharing experiment failed.
Poverty and Welfare in Ireland 1838-1948
Crossman, Victoria; Gray, Peter
This book is a ground-breaking history of poverty and welfare in modern Ireland, in the era of the Irish poor law. As the first study to address poor relief and health care together, the book fills an important gap, providing a much-needed introduction and assessment of the evolution of social welfare in 19th- and early
20th-century Ireland
. The collection also addresses a number of related issues, including private philanthropy, the attitudes of landowners towards poor relief, and the crisis of the poor law during the Great Famine of 1845-1850. Together, these interlinking contributions both survey current research and suggest new areas for investigation, providing further stimulus to the growing field of Irish welfare history.
The Empire of Credit
The Financial Revolution in Britain, Ireland, and America, 1689-1815
Carey, Daniel; Finlay, Christopher
The Empire of Credit explores crucial questions arising from the initial creation of public debt, as well as new forms of credit, in late 17th- and 18th-century Ireland, Britain, and the US. This period saw: the establishment of national banks designed to finance government expenditure, vastly expanded tax regimes, and the appearance of novel credit instruments (from national lotteries to annuities). Collectively, these developments formed the basis of the 'Financial Revolution.' How differently did these events play out in Ireland, Britain, and the US? What circumstances governed the development of banking, finance, and trade among the players in an empire formed by credit? The Empire of Credit discusses rival philosophies of money among the major
intellectual figures
of the period (including Locke, Hume, and Adam Smith) * the role of the State in securing public loyalty through investment in national debt * the continued need for hard currency, even as new forms of credit and paper money began to enter widespread circulation * the US trading relationship with Britain and the crisis in currency after Independence * Ireland's distinctive position of being the country that remained outside the union formed between Scotland and England, yet was integrated into British and US markets while innovating in finance and banking along lines established in England.
Power in History
From the Medieval to the Post-Modern World
Breathnach, Ciara; Chambers, Liam; Lawless, Catherine; McElligott, Anthony
This book assembles some of the most exciting scholars working in the field of history to explore the theme of 'power' in history - examining the complexities, controversies, and contradictions of power and its contested environments in relation to warfare, the state, race, religion, gender, class, linguistic and cultural hegemony, symbols and rituals, and visual arts and architecture. It ranges from the medieval period to contemporary times, principally in Ireland and wider Europe, but also extending to North America, Africa, and Oceania. The 15 contributions do not accept power as a historical given. Each author addresses the specific context, giving rise to different constructions of it and its legitimacy, whether based on violence, political writings and rationalism, religious belief, popular acclamation, or visual perception. The collection brings out the different meanings and nuances of power over time and in different geographical spaces. As the editors argue in their conclusion where they look at the meaning of power in the post-modern age, the findings of this book have a reach beyond the academic and should resonate with all those interested in the exercise of power in the modern world.
Anne Enright
Bracken, Claire; Cahill, Susan
Anne Enright is one of the most innovative and exciting writers in Ireland - and indeed, the world today - whose work encompasses a wide range of genres, themes, and interests. With her dark humor and wry tone, she displays a capability to be remarkably funny while engaging with serious subject matter and themes. The recognition for her novel, The Gathering, by the Man Booker judges in 2007, proves this to be a timely moment to critically explore her writing. This is the first study of Anne Enright, in which leading scholars examine her work in relation to style; her situation in a postmodern and experimental tradition in Irish and non-Irish writing; and her engagement with culture and social change, tradition and modernity, memory, gender, and sexuality. The book also includes an extensive interview with Anne Enright and a comprehensive bibliography. Trips on the
Holyhead to Dublin Ferry
were always so memorable
Colum McCann
The Aesthetics of Redemption
Flannery, Eóin
Taking account of all of McCann's literary fiction to date, Eóin Flannery considers the ways in which the writer navigates and negotiates between Ireland and the international, and between the past and the contemporary. Unlike many other Irish writers, McCann's fiction is not limited by the 'Irish experience', but neither is it slavishly global. He transcends the limitations of nationality by exploring the interactions of many different nationalities and cultures. McCann's Irish heritage is a valuable resource in his engagement with the disenfranchised in Irish-American, African-American, and Eastern European histories during the twentieth-century. Flannery argues that McCann's writing re-imagines the possibilities of contemporary Irish fiction, it places Irish history, Irish writing, and Irish cultural life into artistic and ethical dialogue with other marginal cultures.
Reading Pearse Hutchinson
From Findrum to Fisterra
Coleman, Philip; Johnston, Maria
*This is the first collection of critical essays on this internationally respected poet who has played a vital role in Irish poetic culture for over six decades. *There is no competing work on this poet of Irish parentage, who will be 84 in 2011 and is still working in Ireland. *Exclusive interview with Hutchinson. Born in Glasgow in 1927 of Irish parents, Pearse Hutchinson moved to Dublin in 1932, and was educated at Synge Street and University College Dublin. His first published poems were in The Bell in 1945, and since then he has published over a dozen separate collections of poems in English, Irish, and in translation from several European languages. Reflecting the astonishing linguistic and cultural range of Hutchinson's interests and projects as a writer, Reading Pearse Hutchinson gathers together a diverse group of scholars who engage with the varied aspects of the poet's achievement - from his poems in English and Irish to translations from European languages such as Catalan, Spanish and Galaico-Portuguese. Essays explore Hutchinson's interests in Irish and European history and politics, as well as his examinations of sexuality and the body, music, the aesthetics of memory, and the poetics of friendship.
Turning Points in Twentieth Century Irish History
Hachey, Thomas
Irish history has always turned on a variety of axes or 'turning points,' beyond the accounts of high politics. In acknowledging the profound changes that have shaped new approaches to research and writing within the historical discipline, Irish historiography now embraces not only the re-examination of pivotal events, but also eclectic dimensions that further enrich our understanding of the broader narrative. This collection explores themes such as: political murders during Ireland's Revolutionary period, the nature of women's employment and political activity, Easter Rising, Irish neutrality, and the Northern peace process. The contributions by leading scholars make this work a remarkable new assessment of modern Irish history.
Democratic Left
The Life and Death of an Irish Political Party
Rafter, Kevin
Democratic Left was a small political party which was organised primarily in the Irish Republic but also in Northern Ireland for just short of seven years in the 1990s. Formed out of a split in the Workers' Party in early 1992, Democratic Left was formally disbanded in January 1999 following a merger agreement with the Labour Party. The party - which was led by Proinsais De Rossa, Pat Rabbitte, Eamon Gilmore and Liz McManus - participated in the 1994-97 Rainbow coalition involving Fine Gael and Labour. This book explores the emergence of Democratic Left out of the crisis in communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall as well as continued allegations about their involvement in Official IRA criminality. Issues of ideology and identity, party organisation and political funding are examined in this major study which offers a unique and revealing insight in how politics operates in Ireland today. The book is based on access to internal Democratic Left documentation and papers, and interviews with all leading party members and other figures including Eoghan Harris, Sean Garland, John Bruton and Ruairi Quinn.
The Last Irish Plague
The Great 'Flu Epidemic in Ireland
Foley, Caitriona
Decimating as many as 100 million people in the space of a few months, the Great 'Flu of 1918-19 was one of the worst outbreaks of disease in global history, totally eclipsing the damage wreaked by the First World War. In Ireland, the Registrar-General felt that not since the Great Famine had an outbreak of disease caused such havoc. The flu found its way into every corner of the country, infecting as many as 800,000 people, and taking over 20,000 lives. All across Ireland, there were many cases of families being almost wiped out by this mysterious malady as hospitals and workhouses heaved with the sudden influx of 'flu-stricken patients. Despite the fact that it claimed many more lives than the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War combined, the Great 'Flu is rarely incorporated into the narrative of twentieth century Ireland. 'The Last Irish Plague' explores this catastrophe, teasing out the full dimensions of a lethal and widespread outbreak of disease. It offers an illuminating account of an event which has slipped through the historical net, a part of the Irish past which has remained undocumented for almost a hundred years.

Ambushes and Armour
The Irish Rebellion 1919-1921
Kautt, W.H.
The Irish Revolution (1916-1923) was a war of 'firsts'. This study focuses on the development of ambush and counter-ambush doctrine, and in examining how the British forces (army, RIC, ADRIC) learned to counter these threats. By disregarding the politics and social issues, as much as possible without losing context and perspective, the focus is on the military aspects of these operations. Further, the examination of the tactics, rather than the strategies, reveal truths about how the opposing forces functioned 'on the ground'.
Dublin Slums 1800-1925
A Study in Urban Geography
Prunty, Jacinta
Based on source materials ranging from public inquiries and property valuations to the records created by women charity workers, such as Margaret Aylward, the slum geography of the city is meticulously recreated in this thoroughly original book. The overlapping areas of contagious disease, slum housing and the support of the very poorest, the beggars and costermongers who daily thronged the city streets, form the three main areas of analysis. These issues are explored on scales ranging from city-wide to the local street or court, while the final case study examines the dynamic nature of slum creation and efforts at relief and reform in the particular context of the north city parishes of St. Mary's and St. Michan's.
After the Flood
Irish America, 1945-1960
O'Brien, Matthew; Rogers, James
The essays in this volume examine diverse aspects of the Irish-American community during the postwar years and cover both the immigrant community within the US - which witnessed a surge in immigration from Ireland - and the subsequent expressions of an Irish identity among later generation ethnics. Essays consider both social and political history, such as ethnic anti-communism and American responses to Partition, and significant representations of Irish life in popular culture, such as The Last Hurrah (1956) or The Quiet Man (1952). The study shows that the Irish-American community was lively and, in many ways, dissimilar from 'mainstream' American life in this period. The supposedly deracinated descendants of earlier immigrants were nonetheless well aware that the larger culture perceived something distinctive about being Irish, and throughout this period they actively sought to define - often in deflected ways - just what that distinctiveness could mean.
Oscar Wilde's Plagiarism
The Triumph of Art over Ego
Tufescu, Florina
Oscar Wilde's practices of plagiarism across genres are seen as part of a neo-classical tradition. His allegory of plagiarism in An Ideal Husband is compared to those created by fellow playwrights, including Ibsen and G.B. Shaw. Wilde's polemical imitation of Shakespeare's cut-and-paste method in The Portrait of Mr. W.H. inspired Joyce to experiment with the erasure of quotation marks in Ulysses. The blatant collage of Wilde's poetry anticipates T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, just as it recalls Manet's paintings, which provocatively assert artistic status by drawing attention to their flatness. The mosaic-like structure of The Picture of Dorian Gray is akin to that of other anti-individualist masterpieces, notably Goethe's Faust and D.M. Thomas's The White Hotel. Why did a genius like Oscar Wilde rely on plagiarism from the beginning to the end of his career? Why did Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, and Walter Pater do this as well? And how should teachers, critics, and editors deal with the evidence of plagiarism at the heart of the canon? The extent of sophisticated plagiarism in the canonical works and the impressive list of its apologists from Ackroyd to Zola indicate the need for new models of authorship and intellectual property: models that would benefit scholarly and artistic creativity and solve the paradox of plagiarism as one of the most serious and most common of literary crimes. This book - now in paperback - presents a compact history of the meanings and uses of plagiarism from antiquity to the present. It offers an interpretation of Wilde's plagiarism and of its impact on Joyce, Borges, Gide, et al., as well as a revelation of the plagiaristic, counter-romantic tradition from Poe to Ackroyd.
The Irish Revolution and its Aftermath 1916-1923
Years of Revolt
Costello, Francis
The Irish Revolution, at the beginning of the 20th century, spawned the creation of the modern Irish state. This full-length analysis offers a comprehensive framework of that revolution in its totality, taking into account the broad range of social, economic, and political developments, as well as the Irish Republican Army's campaign of guerrilla warfare and the British response to it. Drawing on such previously unpublished sources as the Irish Department of Defense's Military History Bureau, author Francis Costello paints a broad picture of the people and the key events in the Irish struggle for independence. Described by Paul Bew as 'a revelation' and 'ground-breaking,' this important book is now available in paperback.

devilbiss finishline or sharpe finex?
Hey guys,
Quick question, I can pick up a set of DeVilbiss finishline HVLP guns for the same price as a sharpe finex. (my friend can get me cost as he works for napa). Finex is $97cdn while the Finishline is $105cdn
Which gun(s) is the best? I'll be using it for painting small things. I realize that my compressor will be running alot as its small (20gal, 7.4@40psi, 5.7@90psi), but i wont be painting a whole car, ect.. so i can somewhat live with it.
Should I end up getting the Finishline kit (includes 2 guns w/ 1.4 and 1.8) or get the Finex and get a larger tip/needle set for primer?
Finishline Kit Contains:
NOTE: I heard that there are no rebuild parts are available for this gun. Is this a major thing that I need to worry about? I would only be using it a few times per year. Hopefully these guns are reliable.

I have both guns. The FL3 that I have is with all of the nozzles and with the aluminum cup. While it does a credible job, I do like the Sharpe Finex better.
The FL3 is Chinese made, and supposedly no full rebuild kits available. I'm not sure I believe that, but time will tell whether DeVillbiss will support this gun
The Sharpe is supposedly US made and there is good support. It does a much nicer job for me then the FL3 and for less money.
If you are considering a budget gun, why not consider an Astro - most painters seem to like this one over either the FL3 or the Finex though I do not have first hand knowledge.
I'll eventually sell the Finex as I just blew a big part of the pension check for an Iwata LPH400. The FL3 with all the nozzles will be kept for a primer gun.

DeVilbiss Finishline kit w/ small compressor?
Why ask the questions and ignore the advise.
Thank you! I totally forgot about that thread
Question though, does Astro sell a 1.8 tip aswell? that way i can use the gun both for primer and topcoat? Or is it best to have two guns (one for each)?
its best to have 2 guns at least. every shop i have worked at the painter has about 5 or 6 guns. my boss right now has one for etch, one for primer, two for base, two for clear. i have used 2 guns to do a full paint job start to finish. but i would recomend using 2 rather then one.
Don't know why someone has not said this already but none of those guns will work with that compressor. That thing is for pumping up tires and is woefully inadequate for a HVLP paint gun. If you insist on using that tiny compressor you will need a low volume conventional gun, even that is going to be tough going, because any of the guns you mention will drain that little compressor in a matter of seconds, you can not spray paint when you run out of air.
Oldred thats why I suggested the Astro LVLP EVO .
Astro has both 1.4 & 1.8 tip guns. I would suggest getting one of each . Like what Streamline said Most have more than one gun for doing different things. I have several myself and find it real handy at times.
Take Care
Something like that Astro may get him by ok but with one of those HVLP guns it will simply not work for more than a few seconds. I know some may say that it can be done but just because it is still squirting paint does not mean it is working, you need enough air volume or that is exactly what you do- squirt paint instead of spray paint! It is not just a matter of the compressor running a lot, it will run continuously and STILL run out of air in short order.
I guess I should research more then before I make my final purchase.
Btw, will a LVLP gun like the Astro give a nice result? I always thought LVLP guns gave less quality output compared to a HVLP
Mike, With the HVLP guns you need to use larger fittings to get enough air flow with even the proper compressor in order to make them work properly, at least on the air hogs. Some of the better HVLP guns such as the IWATA will use less air but still way too much for a compressor that small. There are several low volume guns that will work that do an excellent job, I have not used that Astro myself but I have heard some good things about it and it will not use nearly as much air as the guns you are looking at.
FWIW, I have one of those Finex 300 guns that I picked up at a yard sale a while back and I am not very impressed with it. I asked about that thing here back when I got it because the pattern was way too narrow and I wanted to know if this is normal, seems that it is.
If your just painting "small things", Get a good touch up gun like a Iwata LPH-80 or 100 with a 1.0 or 1.2 nozzle. Or even an older Sata Minijet 3.
Either will do a great job and not use anywhere close to the air a full size gun does. You'll have to reduce your primer some and allow for more coats to build equally but hey, It's a answer.
Well what I mean by small is a grill, trunk lid, ect.. Id also use it around the house for painting furniture, ect.
I heard that the Astro guns are Single stage (fluid only) trigger squeeze. While other guns are Duel trigger which allows air to be dispensed (without fluid) with the first stage of the trigger squeeze. Is this true?
I heard that the Astro is a clone of Sata's guns
Hopefully I can get a good paint job with a lvlp gun
Last edited by mikeweb; 03-14-2007 at 11:03 AM.
I bought the finex gun for primer. It sprays nice but built crappy. The solvents from the paint and gun cleaner will soon destroy the O-rings in the gun. I had to rebuild mine within a two month time frame.
Ive used astro guns and for the money they are nice guns. Much rather buy an astro then the finex...Eric
Well, I've been looking for an Astro dealer around my area with no luck. I'd love to purchase it through one of those US based sites but customs, shipping, ect.. will kill me.
Anyone know where I can purchase an Astro gun in canada (Toronto/Mississauga area)?
Any other guns that you guys can recommend incase I cant find an Astro?

|I'm in Air National Guard and my job is chill. My job is RF Transmissions and I don't get issues a gun over seas. My job is a maintenance job so once we get something up and running in the field we basically wait till something brakes. I have not been tricked into anything that I did not want to do. The Guard has given me some much experience to excel. They give training and experience that you can't just come upon in the civilian world.
BTW, Im a Satcom tech myself. JNNs to GSCs to TSCs
Hey Guys,
I'm in the New York Army national Guard and I love it. I have done everything from unit administrator to military Police and now I am working as a JNN operator/maintainer (well I am in charge of the section but I got the MOS, lol). Are you gonna get deployed???count on it I am prepping for my 3rd deployment. Are you gonna be put in a situation where you have to protect yourself or another soldier? Maybe. during the initial invasions it was more common due to the fact that the damn Marines dont secure areas after the "take" them so we have to resecure an area that was supposed to be cleared (MPs). Nowadays you pretty much fly to the closest base and you get escorted by MPs or infantry to where you gotta go, the roads are constantly patrolled and the intelligence is pretty good...most likely you wont have to take anyones life. you dont strike me as the kick ass and take names type of guy so i suggest you go for a job as admin or computer job because anything else will require you to leave the wire at least a few times and I personally dont want anyone out the wire that doesnt have my back. you probably should look into the airforce but stay away from their security forces as well. good luck.
|Ultimately the choice is yours. I am a firm believer in the phrase 'all in'. Going active duty in the service you chose puts you into a direction without having to juggle a civilian career as well. You get the education and the formal discipline that will make life in the future more focused. This is the up side. There are downsides but so limited they are hardly worth mentioning. I served 10 years as an Air Force Combat Controller and cut clean and started working on cars. People thought I was out of my mind until they realized I loved what I did. Make sure you pick something going in that you love or will love and can bring to the real world when you are done. Give me some ideas and I can help guide you. I do this for many young people around this area and they have all been happy with thier choices so far.
|HAFB ftw :)
I've thought about that. I have friends and family out in Utah and i wouldn't mind working out at Hill Air Force Base.
not sure if it's been mentioned or not but it may or may not interest you in trying to get into one of the branches for aircraft mechanics... most of the basic knowledge applies and maybe more, I'm not sure. I mean you have a good amount of ASEs too. and degrees.
I've always found that to be an interesting idea anyway if my auto career doesn't work out. sounds fun.
National Guard sometimes gets a bad wrap with some people thinking you won't get a chance to do anything if you join up but that's not necessarily true. There are different missions you can be a part of if you decide to sign up. Keep researching your options and just find the one that you think would be the best fit for you and try it out. It may be a good idea for you since you feel stuck.
If you wanted to learn more about the National Guard your best options are to keep talking to people who are currently and previously served. Also, there is a new application NG created to give you a better idea of what kind of options you have once you join. I do some work with them so I was able to play around on the application and it definitely gave me a different perspective about what they do.
I'd say you are defini
Yeah... Airforce is not bad... But in general advancing is significantly lower, and, as it stands now, getting into the Airforce is pretty hard because they are overmanned and such to their projected numbers (they are reducing forces).
As for being given a house... All branches of the military are the same, some bases you can live rent free ON BASE if you have a family, usually though, you get BaH (basic allowance for housing) which is calculated based on various variables (you can google the 2011 bah table for rates in various zip codes), and BaS (food allowance), as well as a yearly uniform allowance.
Airforce bases are typically nicer than the other branches... As for being in tip top shape for the Airforce... Lol... They are about equal to the Navy for physical standards (not very high) and lower than Army & Marines. I believe they do their physical readiness tests on a treadmill/exercise bike.
Food in Iraq/Afghan is the same for everyone on a LARGE base... If you are on a forward operating base, it blows... I know, I did 1 year in Iraq POST military (Oct 2008-Oct 2009) as a civilian contractor (electronics & IT) for the Army... I ate with all the various military branches and the food in general was damn good on the big bases (Baghdad, Balad, etc), and generally shitty or MREs on the smaller forward bases).
Really... All branches have their pluses and minuses... AF tended to have hotter chicks though! Lol.
Don't go to a branch based on the branch, go based on WHAT U WANT TO DO :) If you want to be in Information Technology (computer shit), Navy has an IT rate that's pretty awesome, and AF has something somewhat similar... From my AF buddies say, though, Navy you are GUARANTEED to get the rate you select before you show up to bootcamp, AF, there are no guarantees, so you could want one thing, go to bootcamp, and then get selected for something else and it's pretty much tough luck... Though I'm sure you can preference to what you want!
Overall, if you are looking for something reliable, enjoy traveling, want some good training/skills, military is the way to go imo. I did 6 years in the Navy like I said before, got a Secret clearance, and used it plus my degree (paid for by the GI Bill) to net a $200k ($90k tax free) contract job in Iraq that was overall pretty chill... (3/4 of the other contracts on the contract were ex-navy, a couple of them were ex-AF, and 1 or 2 were ex-Army/marine)... Now I am stateside and work in advanced Linux/Unix systems and making GOOD MONEY and half of us are... Ex-Navy :D Including my manager ;)
Good luck!
I have never heard one Air Force member, active duty/reserves/national guard, complain about anything. My boyfriend flies around in a plane and is in the national guard. Now he normally flies for 10+ hours at a time and I'm sure that gets boring but he has the chance to go to so many places. He's been to Germany, Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico to name a few. And with the National Guard, his maximum deployment is 3 months...But maybe it's just the unit he's in. He's been in seven years and is a Staff Sergeant. Oh, and when he was in Afghanistan, it was steak and lobster on Friday's. And most of the time when he deploys, he gets his own room. I can honestly say I have never heard anyone complain about their experience in his unit. But, you basically have to be in tip top shape to be an airmen. Not sure if that would be an issue.
(I know nothing about the military outside of National Guard.)
Active Duty has it's perks like giving you a house when you get married but National Guard pays you a basic housing allowance when you're on active duty. I'm sure finding a job outside of the military is difficult but in my boyfriend's situation, he's going to end up working full time on a military installation anyway.

Perhaps the lowers were relocated on your '55 and the original holes were welded shut. I caught mine by sighting the imaginary line from upper control arm bushing to the lower control arm bushing. In that line the inner tie rod joint should fall and mine didn't. Fortunately the original holes for the lower control arm were there.
A higher ride height in the rear will reduce true caster. Might be a consideration.
An old time alignment guy told me these cars had the same problem when they were new. He'd go to NAPA and get the off set uppers for $15. Way higher now aren't they?

mad 55
im unsure how to do almost everything on a pc including a private message and replies but any way
check measurements from front to back criss crossing start big then go small untill you isolate exactly where the prob lies
look at the frame to see if &where it might be bent then tak it to a good repitable shop and see if they say what you already know
try not to volenteer too much info so you can test the shop personell
please tell me howto do the personal messageing thinga
|Rob Keller
best thing i can tell you without seeing it is to measure ,measure, measure .
make sure u got a level area measure the frame then go outward to the suspension i guess its like a trianglization .
try going across the front wheels front, back, top ,bottom .
if that dont work front end machine will give you a good idea.
so hard to do without seeing feel free to bounce ideas off me if you like.

more castor from '55 chevy 210
I have a '55 210, and I use the stock control arms, upper and lower. I have done my homework here, and have all new poly bushings, a pair of offset upper control arm shafts, new heidt's spindles, stock new springs, and a nice new rack & pinion.
Currently, my castor is maxed out at -2.5 degrees, both sides. I have stuffed in as many shims as I can, and at least it's matched both sides. the offset upper shafts only gave me a degree. Obviously, this is why the car handles poorly at high speeds, and bumpsteer is real bad. It is my quest to get more castor, and a lot of it. I just ordered new upper control arms (tubular) that have 6 degrees built in..hooray.
what in the world can be sagging?? front crossmember? front half of the frame? All looks OK on the frame, looking for clues as to why this came to be.

During the booming 1980s, the Japanese government sent out a call to people of Japanese descent who had migrated to South America over a hundred years ago to please return to their ancestral home where good jobs were available. The Japanese economy was in desperate need of individuals willing to do the dirty jobs that native born people did not wish to do. Over a half million Japanese of the dispora returned home and found work in the blue collar sector of the economy. As with most immigrants they soon discovered native born Japanese complained they did not learn the language quickly enough or were criminals or lazy or anyone of the usual complaints uttered toward those of foreign birth.
The Japanese economy is now having problems so the government is offering to pay the way back home to South America of those who are of Japanese descent. Of course, if a person takes the offer they will not be allowed to return if the economy picks up. A new film, "Sour Strawberries" depicts what has happened to these people who believed in the Japanese offer and have learned to their misfortune, being of Japanese descent only goes so far when times are bad. Go back to Brazil or Peru is now the slogan for the nikkei.

Organizations have business critical services that require non-stop availability. These business critical services entail sets of interwoven components comprised of multiple physical and virtual services dependent upon one another and have posed many challenges for organizations who seek to establish a comprehensive business continuity plan.
Download, "Are Your Critical Business Services Protected?," to learn more about the types of business continuity approaches and the three common configurations, including:
� Local high availability - recovers applications on another healthy machine within the data center
� Metro or campus cluster - recovers applications on another healthy machine within 100km
� Wide area disaster recovery - protects data across one or more geographically separated sites
Multiple dimensions of availability protection for business services can help keep downtime limited in the event of human error, system failure or natural disaster. Download the whitepaper now.

I'm a young single young adult, and I live with my parents.
Recently some Adventists held meetings in my neighborhood in Nairobi, Kenya. I heard some young people talking about the meetings. They said that I could hear some good preaching and see movies about Jesus. I decided to go.
The pastor's message touched my heart. I decided to go again the next day, and again I was blessed. I wanted to talk to the pastor who had spoken, but he and a group of others were on their way to a meeting with the youth. So I went with them. What a blessing I received!
I told my parents that I was attending the Adventist meetings, and they weren't happy about it. They told me that I shouldn't have gone there. I explained that I felt God's presence there and had to listen to the message so I could decide for myself the way to salvation.
The next day I told the pastor that my parents weren't happy that I was attending the meetings; he prayed for me. I continued attending the meetings. I decided to stay with an Adventist family for a few days so that I could learn more about what Adventists believe.
Then one night I saw my parents attending the meeting. I greeted them, and they seemed happy to see me. I told them that I wanted to join the Adventist Church because I had been studying the Bible and realized that these Christians taught the truth. They agreed, and I returned home with them. Not only did they allow me to continue attending the meetings, but they attended with me.
I thank God that I am now a believer. Praise God that my parents allowed me to go to the meetings. I have been baptized, and my precious parents are preparing for baptism. I know that it was the prayers I prayed as well as those who prayed with me that touched my parents' hearts.
I thank God for the people who sacrifice their time and give their offerings so that others, such as my parents and me, can know the truth. I urge young people to keep on praying, for He will do something powerful in their lives.

I currently live in Gage Hall, and it is such a nice building, with TWO laundry rooms, and elevator, and multiple lounges. The town is so close, and there is a Starbucks Coffee shop around the corner from the academic buildings. Certain dorm halls should be a last choice for most normal, non-partying freshmen, or first-years as SUNY New Paltz calls us. The halls ought to be last choice because of the odors or extremely small laundry rooms, like Shango or Scudder. When looking for a building to live in, check the campus maps! This should heavily impact your choice, consider if you want to be able to run to class in 5 minutes, or would you like to be near Hasbrouck Dining Hall?Read More
The town is very enjoyable. There is a lot to do if you own a car or have another mode of transportation. Personally, I don't have a car and the town and the areas within walking distance can become boring very quickly.Read More
so much better than SUNY Oneonta!!! I live off campus and i love where i live and my friends here but school is sometimes a terror to go throughRead More

So I started wondering about who is the greater of the two evils: Hitler or Stalin? So I just want people's opinions on who was worse.
These are the numbers I'm looking at: http://necrometrics.com/20c5m.htm
Apparently Hitler was worse during wartime, Stalin was worse during peacetime, and Mao Zedong killed more civilians than both combined. Hitler and Stalin both attacked Poland simultaneously, which is what sparked World War II.

In the aftermath of 9/11 the world entered on its great fear campaign about the evil of terrorism and the need for everyone to be careful and watch out for men who lean down to touch their shoes because you will never know if they are about to explode a bomb. In New South Wales in Australia, there have been 840 cases of when children were strip searched by authorities and in only six percent of the occasions was any adult being present to protect their rights. The NSW Ombudsman made clear, "in our view, a support person should be present for all but exceptional circumstances in which it is not possible to do so. The low level of compliance with this safeguard is of concern."
I really don't understand why the Ombudsman did not recognize the serious nature of the situation. There were children aged 10 to 17 who were strip searched and who knows what explosives or tiny a-bombs were in the possession of such criminals? Just think, exactly what form of criminal action could a ten year old take who is semi-naked and surrounded by heavily built policemen?
Zero tolerance too frequently leads to zero common sense.

Jones Jr. knocked down, but gets split nod
Photos: Piotr Duszczyk/Ringpolska
In a cruiserweight bout, 43-year-old former four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr (56-8, 40 KOs) won a ten round split decision over previously unbeaten WBC #9 light heavyweight Pawel Glazewski (17-1, 4 KOs) on Saturday night at the Atlas Arena in Lodz, Poland. Jones was quick enough and sharp enough to outscore the light punching Glazewski early on. Jones was doing a lot of showboating in the bout until Glazewski dropped him with a left hook in round six. Glazewski outworked jones after that, but Roy landed some good punches in round ten that slightly staggered Glazewski and likely won the bout for him. Scores were 96-93, 96-94 for Jones, 95-94 for Glazewski.
Glazewski replaced Jones' original opponent, WBC #4 light heavy Dawid Kostecki, on short notice after Kostecki was unexpectedly imprisoned. The win will undoubtedly put Jones back into the WBC ratings and position him for a title shot.
Unbeaten 23-year-old Polish heavyweight hope Artur Szpilka (12-0, 9 KOs) outpointed 42-year-old four-time world title challenger Jameel "Big Time" McCline (41-12-3, 24 KOs) over ten rounds. Although both fighters had their moments, it was mostly a tactical fight with few exchanges as the 6'6, 275lb McCline stalked his smaller, quicker, more mobile and 19 years younger opponent.
Former lightweight world champion Nate Campbell (36-9-1, 26 KOs) won an eight round unanimous decision over Krzysztof Szot (16-3-1, 5 KOs). The 40-year-old "Galaxxy Warrior" was much more ring savvy than the less experienced Szot and had things pretty much his way.
Former welterweight title challenger Rafal Jackiewicz (42-10-1, 21 KOs) scored a one-sided ten round unanimous decision over Luca Michael Pasqua (16-5-1, 10 KOs). Currently rated #10 by the IBF, Jackiewicz dropped Pasqua at the end of round three and again in round seven, but Pasqua hung in until the final bell.

text: Re: Trial League News - '06-07 Question for those of you who have been in more than one fantasy league of the same sport in the same season. When you draft, do you try to go with a different strategy for your other teams or at least draft different players (in case of injury, etc)? I'm not sure what philosophy to use. What has worked for you guys? As it is, I plan to draft pretty much the same for both of my teams. Is this wise or foolhardy?

I'd definitely hand feed her for the next couple of weeks and wouldn't let toys lying around so that she doesn't have the chance to play with herself. Instead you decide when to play, get toys and play with her. After that you end the game and take away the toys again.
So she learns that it's fun doing something with you (toys & playing) and that she's dependent on you (hand feeding).
At least that's what I do with my puppies.
Good luck!
Very Independent 10 wk old female
Hi all! My last shepherd was a male I adopted at about 10 months old. He was a fantastic dog and a true mommas boy. He had a bit of independence about himself but also made sure he knew where I was at all times. He passed away last year and I miss him greatly.
I got Maggie at 7.5 wks old. She was the runt and kind of "chose me" at the breeders (or so I thought). She came home and settled in with our Australian shepherd instantly. She growled and barked at him all the while with her tail curled up. At first I thought she was scared and separated them - but further experience seems to shows that she is just playing and demonstrating an alpha role in my opinion based on what I've read.
We have mastered "come", "lay", & "sit". She is highly intelligent and will do a lot for a treat. My issue is that she is SO independent. Now don't get me wrong, I think that can be a great trait but I have never seen such a young pup with her attitude. She prefers to play with toys by herself and could care a less where we are. She never wags her tail at us nor kisses nor acts like we are anything more than a treat and food machine. When she hears the dog treat bowl clank or dog food bag rustle - she's there. Otherwise she is trying to run off on her own. I am a little disheartened bc i have always had pretty good relationships with all my pets. My father actually purchased one of her sisters who is the sweetest baby so I dont think it is a learned behavior from the breeder not being hands on or something. I try to play and give treats and of course train but she just seems to care a less. I am not sure how I can bond with her and try to train her to be more of a family oriented girl. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated! I want a long happy life with her like Maverick and I had.

University of Missouri receives $4.5 milllion research grant
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri received a multimillion dollar grant that will help form a patient-centered research group.
The $4.5 million federal grant will create the MU Center for Patient-centered Outcomes Research. The group seeks to help patients and doctors make better decisions about health care options.
"This grant is significant because it will expand the capacity of the university to focus on improving outcomes for patients everywhere," said Steve Owens, the University of Missouri interim chancellor.
With the grant, university researchers will compare whether open surgery or less invasive procedures through arteries are more effective at saving limbs and avoiding repeat hospitalizations; test ways to improve the discharge process for patients returning home from skilled nursing facilities; and study multiple primary care practices to improve decision-making about prescribing narcotics for chronic pain.

When it comes to beauty and style, ladies used to only have to think about what clothes and makeup trends were in. However, in 2013, nail polish colors and looks are also all the rage. Luckily, Cosmopolitan magazine recently broke down the top colors of spring so you can easily match your nails with your go-to eye makeup and lip gloss.
Sassy neutrals
Similar to the neutral craze in eyeshadow this spring, when it comes to nails, shades in light peach, dewy pink and even off-white seem to reign supreme. You can spruce up your next manicure by selecting a gorgeous peachy-color and add some life by applying a top layer of shimmer golden sparkles to stand out.
Pale blue
Another hue that is popular on the nails and eyes is lovely pale or sky blue. This fresh pop of color is the perfect way to say hello to warm weather – and it will look even better when you have a tan!
Anything but boring beige
Earth-tone shades have been popular on the runway as of late, and these muted colors are great for spring since you can add pops of color and life through your accessories. Next time you paint your nails in a light brown hue, sass up your eyes wearing bold blue or purple shadow to let your true colors shine through.

http://belfercenter.hks.harvard.edu/events/steinitz.html The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will host a Director's Seminar with Dr. Yuval Steinitz, Israeli Minister of Intelligence, in the Belfer Center Library (L369). Dr. Yuval Steinitz was appointed Minister of Intelligence in March of 2013. In his current capacity, Minister Steinitz oversees the intelligence community, including the Mossad (Israel's equivalent of the CIA), Shin-Bet (Israel's equivalent of the FBI), and the Israeli Atomic Energy Committee.Minister Steinitz also takes a leading role on behalf of the Israeli government in the international campaign against the Iranian nuclear program. In addition, he is in charge of the economic aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Prior to his current position, Minister Steinitz was the Finance Minister from 2009-2013. He constructed the stimulus package of 2009 and also launched the biennial budget framework (2009-2010 & 2011-2012). Minister Steinitz later designed and implemented major reforms in the energy, technology and housing sectors. In addition, Minister Steinitz led Israel's historic accession to the OECD in 2010. Before joining the government, Minister Steinitz was a pivotal member in the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, serving as Chair from 2003-2006. In this role Minister Steinitz expanded the committee's mandate and scope, and initiated several influential parliamentary reports focusing on intelligence-related issues. In this capacity, Minister Steinitz co-established, along with Senator Jon Kyl, the Joint Dialogue on Defense between the U.S. Congress and the Knesset. Minister Steinitz has been a Knesset Member since July 1999. Prior to entering politics, Minister Steinitz was a professor of philosophy at Haifa University, where he specialized in metaphysics and philosophy of science. He was also chosen as Distinguished Lecturer two years in a row. He holds a B.A and M.A (with honors) from the Hebrew University, and a Ph.D from Tel Aviv University. In 1993 he won the Alon Scholarship, the most prestigious award for young doctoral students in Israel. Minister Steinitz has published four books on philosophy, which have received great public acclaim in Israel. His work, Invitation to Philosophy, is the most popular philosophy book in Israel's history, with forty editions printed to date. During the 1980s, Minister Steinitz was an active member of the left-wing "Peace Now" movement. His political positions moved rightward in 1994, following his criticism of the Oslo Accords.
Minister Steinitz served in the IDF infantry corps, first in the Golani Brigade, where he took part in Operation Litani on Israel's northern border (1978), and then in the Alexandroni Reserve Brigade during the 1982 Lebanon War. As space is limited for this event, RSVPs will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Belfer Center Seminars are strictly off-the-record. By requesting to attend the seminar, you agree that you will comply with the Belfer Center's strict policy against recording or disclosing the contents of the seminar.

I came across this website whilst browsing the internet looking for info on Norfolk. What a delightful find it is and all thanks to the webmaster (I couldn't find his/her name).
The site concerns itself with families who lived in Docking and traces their family history. There are plenty of lovely photographs and lots of links to other Norfolk sites. All in all a gem of a website and a gift for those with ancestors from this area of Norfolk.

gotta love those cops!
a little humor for you...
These 16 Police Comments were taken off actual police car videos around
the country:
#16 "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just
went through."
#15 "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch
after you wear them a while."
# 14 "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate
a worthless document."
#13 "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."
#12 "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the
speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you."
#11 "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can
write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?"
#10 "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it
will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?"
#9 "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that
again, or I'll give you another ticket."
#8 "The answer to this last question will determine whether You are drunk
or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"
#7 "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go
to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey crap."
#6 "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster
#5 "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."
#4 "How big were those 'Just two beers' you say you had?"
#3 "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're
allowed to write as many tickets as we can."
#2 "I'm glad to hear that Chief (of Police) Hawker is a personal friend of
yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."
AND THE WINNER IS... #1 "You didn't thin k we give pretty women tickets?
You're right, we don't. Sign here."
#12 "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the
speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you."
my favorite one....
#9 "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that
again, or I'll give you another ticket."

***Clear Water Dubs***
OK, either the other area thread died or all the other dubbers in the area sold their cars, like the guy who started the original thread .
I have 3 VDubs and no plans on selling them...so here we go again. It would be great to get together with other Dubminded people in the area some Saturday afternoon and talk shop. Spring is on the way because Menards already has all their Patio Furniture out for sale.
I am a member of dubnoxious and CVVC (Chippewa Valley Volkswagen Club).
I plan on going to Chicago on April 19 for the Windy City GTG and it would be fun to have a few other cars/people to go with.

text: Finally got to do some extended shooting with my 2 week old 9mm G2. The gun performed flawless, shot 100 115 gr CCI Blazers and 100 124 gr Blazers. I ran the first 2 magazines and shot consistently 2-3" left and 1" low at 21 feet. Made 3/4 of a turn to the windage and 1/2 turn on the elevation and started shooting COM nicely. I did like the 124 gr better as far as recoil and being able to get a quicker second shot. This was at an indoor range so the range master got onto me a little for shooting too fast. Now I just need more range time to start tightening up my groups. Too bad there arent more ranges available her in middle GA.

and i've gotta say that i'm not particularly impressed.
accuracy aside, the build quality is "so-so" at best. there's lots of excess rubber around the soles that will need to be trimmed off, and a bunch of threads sticking out everywhere.
they were out of the size i ordered and weren't going to have more for a month, so i stepped up a half size. i'm glad i did, since their size 10 is the exact same length as the 9.5 combat boots i'm wearing now.
i'm sure they'll look fine, but for $100 i'd like a more finished product. i'd liken them to a rough trimmed vac formed piece. just about ready to go, but still need a bit of work.

My mom jokingly referred to the Civil War as "the war of Northern aggression" and I, a diehard Yankee, teased her about Gone with the Wind and General Sherman. Not until recently did she tell me that her grandfather fought for the Confederacy; until after his death, his grandchildren thought he'd been a drummer boy, not a soldier.
In fact, as I've poked into my genealogy, I've realized that all my relatives who fought in that "recent unpleasantness" were on the side I rooted against in movies. A several-greats-uncle was even purportedly at Appomattox (with the troops who were surrendering). My "Yankee" relations were not even Americans yet.

AWENDAW, S.C. - The University of North Carolina men's golf team stands in fifth place with a 23-over-par 599 total during the second round of the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate being played at Bulls Bay Golf Club. Second-round play was suspended due to darkness and will resume Tuesday morning followed by the final round. The first round was scheduled for yesterday, but was rained out which necessitated two rounds being played on Monday.
Nine of the 15 teams completed their second rounds, including the Tar Heels, fighting cold and very windy conditions. Carolina fired rounds of 302-297 for its 599 total. The Tar Heels were led by junior Andy Sajevic who stands at 2-over 146 and senior Michael McGowan who is one stroke back at 147.
Sajevic fired a 1-under-par 71 Monday morning in a round where he scored four birdies and three bogeys. The Fremont, Neb., native shot a 3-over 75 in the afternoon for a 2-over 146 and stands alone in fifth place. McGowan, from Southern Pines, N.C., is just one stroke back tied for sixth place at 3-over 147. He fired rounds of 74-73 and his 1-over 73 included three birdies, two bogeys and one double-bogey. Freshman Keagan Cummings, from Dublin, Ireland, is tied for 31st place at 8-over 152 with rounds of 77-75. Bailey Patrick, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., rebounded with a 2-over 74 in the afternoon after shooting 80 in the first round and is tied for 42nd at 10-over 154. Sophomore Brandon Dalinka, from Newtown, Pa., carded rounds of 82-76 for a 14-over 158 and is currently tied for 58th place.
LSU holds the lead as the Tigers fired a 3-under 285 in the afternoon after shooting a 304 Monday morning for a 13-over 589 total. Duke is one stroke back in second place at 14-over 590 after rounds of 302-288. Missouri, which has not completed its second round, is in third place at 16-over after shooting a 303 in the morning and is currently 1-over in the second round. NC State is in fourth place at 18-over 594 while Carolina is in fifth place at 23-over 599, Texas A&M is sixth at 24-over 600 and Wake Forest, which has yet to complete its second round, is 25-over in seventh place.
Albin Choi of NC State and Mads Soegaard of Duke tied for the individual lead at 2-under-par 142. Choi fired rounds of 72-70 while Soegaard carded rounds of 73-69. Andrew Presley of LSU is in third place at 1-under 143 while Mitch Sutton of NC State is fourth at even-par 144 and Carolina's Sajevic is fifth at 2-over 146. There is a seven-way tied for sixth place at 3-over 147 including Carolina's McGowan.
The second round of the 54-hole event will resume at 7:30 Tuesday morning followed by the final round which will begin with a shotgun start at approximately 9:30-10:00 at Bulls Bay Golf Club which features a par 72, 7,363-yard layout. Live scoring is available on GoHeels.com.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Check ball question, talked to a friend on the phone who is rebuilding a 700r4 for me and he said it only needed four, what is the deal with the different amount of check balls? How does the different amount of check balls affect performance?
I read some previous posts on the converters and which to use so I understand that part better.
the t-400 only needs two (2) check balls in the correct locations to operate fine.
The diesel converter is a lower stall speed rating than a gasoline converter.
It wasn't slipping and pulled in forward but had no reverse at all. It was losing fluid as fast as I could put it in. When I bought it, it had a funnel in the dipstick and a pile of transmission fluid bottles in the bed so I knew it was bad. The snap rings gaps were on the opposite side and they had put in some kind of additive that ate the rubber seals and fiber thrust washers. Some bolts were finger tight and some were so tight it just about stripped the threads, but the clutches look new in it but the both bands were toast. I bought it from the salvage so I didn't get to ask questions of the rebuilders on what they did.
I'm not a transmission guy but this is my third th400 rebuild and I have the book.
|I'm sure the disiel has 3 extra bolts to handle the massive torque output of a disiel. The previous owner prolly didn't d*ck around with the torque converter, but it might need to be replaced if the trans was rebuilt. Does it seem to be slipping at all?
Torque converter, diesel vs gas
I bought a 1982 Chevy 6.2 diesel half ton with a bad transmission in it $250. It has a th400 in it and I pulled the transmission and someone had tried to rebuild it and it only had 4 check balls in it among other rebuilding mistakes. It was impossible for the truck to run with the transmission like it was and I am rebuilding it. There was no metal in the pan and the torque converter seems OK. The motor sounds good but have not been able to drive it on the highway to verify it is a good motor, the truck itself is a solid truck and was used on the farm with no tag for public roads.
My question is should I replace the torque converter when I put the transmission back in or use the old one? If the engine turns out to be bad I have a 400 to replace it with. I don't want to spend the money for a new diesel torque converter which has 6 bolts and then have to replace it with a standard 3 bolt torque converter. Does anyone know what the difference between the two, could I use the six bolt on the 400 and just use three bolts? This is our first diesel, Thanks for your help.

Week 15 Tale Of The Tape: New York Jets At Dallas Cowboys
The Jets have had a significant upgrade at the quarterback position all season due to the presence of Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Week 14 Tale Of The Tape: New York Giants At Miami Dolphins
It's difficult to see the Giants executing well enough to win the horrible NFC East, because they have played poorly in the fourth quarter all season.
Week 14 Tale Of The Tape: New England Patriots At Houston Texans
The Patriots have hit some hard times with two losses in a row, but they still have the capabilities of stringing wins together as long as Tom Brady is in the lineup.
Week 14 Tale Of The Tape: Dallas Cowboys At Green Bay Packers
The Cowboys had their opportunities to win games in the first half of the season when Tony Romo was sidelined, but they were unable to do so and the Cowboys fell apart.
Week 14 Tale Of The Tape: Oakland Raiders At Denver Broncos
Derek Carr appears to be laying the groundwork for an excellent career.
Week 14 Tale Of The Tape: Detroit Lions At St. Louis Rams
The Lions appeared well on their way to a fourth straight victory in Week 13, but they gave up a long Hail Mary TD pass to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to turn sure victory into sudden defeat.
