|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sorry to dig up an oldish thread but my questions relate to a few items mentioned here.
The '52 I want to put the motor into has got a factory fitted dash from a '50 and that's why I'm now wondering how to make sure.
How drivable is this combo of mods, apart from using the 2004R OD?
What kind of power does this combo make?
|Back in my day I worked at a Mobil gas station. We had one customer that was my age and had a '65 Chevelle with a 235 built to the hilt. He was first in his class for 2 years at the local strip here and could take a lot of V8's too. It sounded like a darn Cessna taking off, but really hauled!
If you have hydraulic lifters, the rocker arms will have ball ends @ the push rods and will be screwed down 'tight'. Mechanical lifters will have ~0.015" clearance between the valve stem and rocker tip.
Hop-up tips -
Mill the head 0.100" for ~9.5:1 compression. Use a 244deg camshaft Got mine from Clifford. Do a minimal clean-up bore, don't go for much added cu.in. Use a Clifford single 4-bbl manifold (with manifold heat provision) w/small Holley or Edelbrock carb. Use Fenton cast iron split headers and dual exhaust. Convert it to electronic ignition ( I show a cheapie but effective way to adapt Chrysler electronics to the stock 235 distributor in my Journal). Modify the engine for full flow oil filter like this (go to 'Tech Tips', click on 'Full Flow Conversion', click on 'Chev 235/261 Full Flow' follow the directions). As you may have noticed I installed a 2004R OD tranny using a Langdon's Stove Bolt Engine Co. adaptor so I won't be screaming @ 3000rpm @ 60mph.
|There are books out there on how to hop up the 235 engines. I have one some where that I bought to build one for the 41' Chevy I had. The later engines work best as stated and sound sweet with spilt exhaust!
|I'am glad to see your going with the latter 235 block. If your going to go though the expense and work of rebuilding a 235 by all means use the full oil system block.
|Thanks for all the info, much appriciated, and damn fine job on your project. I wish I was that far along! The 235 I have is from a latter model 59' full oiler. I have done some homework, and I think this is a good candidate. How do I check if it has hydrolic lifters?
First off, building an engine is actually just an assembly process. Your local machine shop will take care of 99% of the critical dimensioning and finishing on the parts. Your job is to check their work with plasti-gage on the bearings, feeler gauge on the piston gap in the cylinders, straight edge on block and head surfaces, etc., then to do a very careful assembly job being sure you pre-lube everything with the proper assemble lube, torque all bolts to spec, make sure gaskets go on properly, etc. The machine shop will take care of 100% of the important head/valve work so you just need to tell them exactly what you want (for example, dead stock to factory specs or milled heads, bronze valve guides, custom springs, multi-angle seat, hardened exhaust inserts, etc.) then you just bolt them on.
Now about the 6 vs an 8. By all means go with the 6. I am putting this hopped up 235 in my '53 pickup;
These are marvelous engines and you can easily get 1hp/cu.in. with a little effort.
I highly recommend you do not use the '49 engine though. Prior to 1954, the 235 had several features that were not very attractive, including no oil pressure to the rod bearings, they got their lube from a 'splash' system. 1954 and later engines are totally 'modern' w/ hydraulic lifters, full oil pressure, etc. The easy way to tell them apart is the early 235 had the valve cover held on by two studs that go up through the valve cover whereas the later, desirable engine has 4 slotted screws around the rim of the valve cover.
Sounds like your engine may be junk. Water in the crank case usually ruins stuff quickly. Metal shavings in the oil is of lesser concern since the parts that were being shaved are likely bearings that will be replace in the rebuild. As long as the crank, block, and head, and hopefully connecting rods are in good shape, no problem. Your machine shop will do a detailed inspection of all the parts before they start working on them and give you an honest evaluation. Pistons, bearings, oil pump (new ones are pretty cheap), lifters, probably the cam, and misc expendable parts will be replaced.
In fact reportedly Toyota bought the casting patterns and molds from Chevy and built and installed the 235 in the Land Cruiser I think up into the 80s. As I understand, Toyota even left the Chevy casting markings on the foundry patterns! When I bought my '53, some previous owner had already dumped the original engine for a modern model. If you want to get really tricky and you can find one, Chevy also made a 261 and GMC trucks came with the same engine in displacements of 270 and even a 302!
235 engine rebuild
I have a 235 motor, that I would like to rebuild. I am a rookie and have never rebuilt an engine. It's for a 49' chevy truck that is getting a complete rebuild. I know some people will say ditch the inline and get a v8, but I really like the inline motor's. I have another good runner in a 54' belair, and I think they just look and sound better than the v8's. Anyway, I have taken the head off and the cylinder walls looks good, but the pistions seem stuck. One of the push rods was bent really bad, but I have not taken the lower end off to see the condition. I have not checked to see if there are any cracks in the block, but it doesn't appear so. I will say that when I drained the oil, it was brown with water in it, but it had been sitting outside with an unsecured valve cover for some time. It did also appear to have some fine metal flakes in the oil/mud I drained. I have purchased and read cover to cover books on engine rebuilding, and it seems within' my ability, but I get a little nervous when they talk about the exact tolorances that need to happen. Is this a waste of time, and if so, who sells good rebuilt inline 6's?

Have a unique opportunity to get one for much less then 200, so what do you guys who have them think?
bought a North American Arms .22 Mag instead
Got a Beretta Neos instead.
I had a PT-25 years ago. Worked fine. At less than 200 I would grab it. Provided it didn't burn my fingers and had all its parts.
I had two in the past. One worked great, but the other did not. So, 50/50 for me.
I recently picked one up thats less than 2 y/o for $150 and havent had any problems with mine I bought it to convince my wife that handguns arn't all EVIL so far her and my kids love it next I move them up to a Rossi .38 spl I bought from the same guy...
I bought a new one 5 weeks ago for $219 at a gun show. Since then I've shot over 600 rounds through it without many issues. The only time that I did have problems was because of some defective CCI Mini Mags that I bought at the range.
Went into Gander Mtn. a year or so ago and they had some price glitch. Sold me a brand new PT-22 in polymer for $139. I have a thing for cheapo guns.
I managed about 15 or so rounds of quality .22lr. The trigger pin broke. Convinced GM it should go back on their dime even though I didn't pay
extra for that service. After all it was only a couple of days old. It was gone 2 months. I never fired it again, just dumped it. I won't buy
any Taurus semi ever again. Had a .45, asked Taurus to send a part that just fell off. It took six months and it was the wrong part. By then I
had sourced the screw elsewhere and already had other parts fall off. I may try a revolver if its way under market price. Also the PT-22 has a trash trigger.

I had 12 teams (perfect number of teams) until one team dropped out last night. To do the draft I need an even number. Our draft is at 3:45 this afternoon pacific time. THAT is why this is urgent. If worse comes to worse, I'll just make up a team and see of somone will take over--or just do an auto draft. It would be nice to have somone fill the spot. pm me for info:

Women, wartime and the dream of peace
In war we often see only the frontline stories of soldiers and combat. AT TEDGlobal 2010, Zainab Salbi tells powerful "backline" stories of women who keep everyday life going during conflicts, and calls for women to have a place at the negotiating table once fighting is over.

AMES, Iowa — In early autumn, in response to the shortening days and declining intensity of sunlight, tree leaves become vivid reds, oranges, golds and browns — signaling their oncoming fall to the ground. Horticulturalists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach explain it's more than just leaves that fall from trees during autumn. To have additional plant and garden questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The browning of the inner foliage is probably due to seasonal needle drop. It's normal for evergreens (pine, spruce, fir, juniper, arborvitae, etc.) to shed their oldest (innermost) needles in fall. The innermost needles gradually turn yellow or brown and drop to the ground. Environmental stresses, such as drought, can cause greater than normal loss of needles. The needles on the outer growth remain green on healthy evergreens.
The loss of needles is probably due to seasonal needle drop. Deciduous trees, such as maple and ash, drop all of their leaves in fall. Though it largely goes unnoticed, evergreens also lose a portion of their foliage (needles) on a yearly basis. Seasonal needle drop on most evergreens occurs in fall. Needle loss is most noticeable on white pines. As much as one-half of the needles on white pines may drop in early fall. Seasonal needle loss is less noticeable on spruces, firs and other pines as they retain a higher percentage of their needles. Seasonal needle drop is uniformly distributed throughout the inner part of the evergreen. It is the oldest needles which are shed. The needles turn uniformly yellow or brown and drop to the ground.
The weather in early fall largely determines the intensity and duration of leaf color in those tree species capable of producing good fall color. Best fall color typically develops when days in early fall are sunny and mild and nights are cool (but remain above freezing). Long periods of cloudy, rainy weather or a hard freeze in early fall will mute fall colors.
It's common for the acorn crop on oak trees to vary from year to year. Most oak species produce a good crop of acorns once every two or three years. However, the white oak tends to produce a good acorn crop once every four to six years.
Weather and other factors can affect flowering and fruiting. For example, freezing temperatures in spring (when trees are flowering) can damage or destroy the flowers, drastically reducing the fruit crop.
The gray-green patches are probably lichens. Lichens are unusual organisms. They consist of two unrelated organisms, an alga and a fungus. These two components exist together and behave as a single organism. The agla provides food via photosynthesis. The fungus obtains water and minerals for itself and the alga.
Lichens are common on trees because the bark provides a suitable place to gather sunlight and grow. They grow especially well on dead branches because they receive more sunlight. In addition to growing on the trunks and branches of trees, lichens can be found on exposed soil surfaces, rocks, wooden fence posts, shingles, gravestones, stone walls and other sunny surfaces. Lichens may be flat, leafy, or branched and hair-like. The lichens on trees are often gray-green. Other species may be orange, yellow, slate blue or black.
Lichens are fascinating, unique organisms. They do not harm trees.

Graduate Research
Research and achievement at the graduate level
Like the professors they work with, graduate students at DU are doing research, creative work and scholarship that addresses real-world problems.
Here are a few of the ways our graduate students are working for the public good.
Testing the antioxidants in food
Biology master's student Natalie Kelsey examined the popular claims that antioxidant-rich foods can ward off everything from cancer to Alzheimer's to wrinkles. Kelsey studied whether foods like broccoli, garlic, grapes and rosemary can mitigate the free radicals caused by oxidative stress, which can damage cells and cause disease. She exposed cell cultures to antioxidant compounds, and then to various forms of stress. She found that rather than directly acting as free radical scavengers, the antioxidants in food seem to enhance cells' own antioxidant defenses.
The results of Kelsey's work could help doctors learn how to boost the body's natural tools for fighting disease.
Support for children in poverty
Children living in poverty are exposed to a lot of stress, which makes them more likely to develop high reactivity. That means they have unusually strong physical responses such as increased heart rate, blood pressure and breathing due to environmental stressors.
Many DU graduate students do their research in the field, often with the people their research is intended to help.
To find out whether social support affects children's physical responses to stress, Brian Wolff, a PhD candidate in child clinical psychology, is working with children from Denver-area Head Start centers, all of whom come from families with income below the federal poverty line. Wolff is measuring how their reactivity changes when they spend time in a supportive social environment.
By finding out whether social support lowers low-income children's reactivity, Wolff is helping psychologists work toward lowering children's risk for anxiety disorders.
Understanding American Indian urban cultural identity
From the 1950s to the 1970s, the U.S. government moved more than 150,000 American Indians to cities as part of its Voluntary Relocation Program. For her doctoral research in social work, Nancy Lucero interviewed relocated Indians and their descendants in Denver to see how urbanization affected their cultural identities.
Lucero found that relocation to cities didn't wipe out Indians' culture, but allowed it to grow and adapt, blending tribal practices and values with newly evolving traditions. When social workers better understand urban American Indians, they will communicate more effectively and develop a better rapport with them as clients, Lucero says.

One of the reasons I chose this site is that (as a beginner) I want to get better at what I'm trying to do, and I find it frustrating that people have a look at my pics and don't make any comments. I really want to learn what I'm doing wrong/right, how I can improve etc. I realize that photography is subjective in many ways (the subject may not appeal), but the only way I and other users of this site are going to learn and improve their skills is if people make comments. I've noticed that it's easy to give a score for something that you like and ignore what you don't, but I think that if we take the time to look at a picture, it deserves to have feedback - not a score, necessarily (that's subjective too in many ways) - so that we can all get better at what we're trying to do.
I don't just want to get an above 7 score, I'd like low scores with feedback as to what's wrong and how to get better. I'm sure that's one of the main reasons why we're all here ... except for those on an ego trip.
Or am I asking too much?
More Feedback Please

I'd say do both or like Thaison says find a good muay thai gym. You could be lucky enough to have a good muay thai gym near you where the coach also has a traditional boxing background, this is not unusual. Boxing will make you good with your hands and teach you the importance of head movement among other things. Muay thai will teach you how to throw and defend against not only kicks but knees, elbows and will teach you useful techniques for controlling your opponent in the clinch. All things that boxing won't even touch on.
I went along to a boxing club a while back after doing many years of muay thai with a a coach who was a good amateur boxer. I found it very difficult. I found it very hard to alter my stance for boxing and felt crippled without being able to use my kicks. I'm 6' with long legs so I always preferred to kick. Needless to say, the boxers destroyed me when sparring.

NRA Conspiracy Theories Lurk Beneath Joseph Farah's Claim That Obama "Wants To Foment Armed Rebellion"
Taking National Rifle Association conspiracy theories to the next level, WorldNetDaily founder Joseph Farah is suggesting [1] that President Obama might be spurring gun sales so that he can later confiscate those weapons after the occurrence of "civil strife" or "armed rebellion." According to Farah, Obama will do this because his "real goal -- the objective he has in common with all true leftists and socialists -- is to create chaos."
I have always believed Obama's real goal - the objective he has in common with all true leftists and socialists - is to create chaos. As a former leftist, I understand the paradigm. It's classic Cloward-Pivens [sic] strategy. Obama seeks "to heighten the contradictions of capitalism," as they say. He does a lot of crazy things to further that objective - to prove, if you will, that America is incapable of self-government, that smart people like him and Michelle are needed to guide our every move.
Maybe he wants to create civil strife. Maybe he wants to foment armed rebellion. Maybe he realizes that would provide him cover to take sweeping and repressive actions that effectively subvert the Constitution.
In Farah's disillusioned reality, Obama is planning to end private firearm ownership while acting as the driving force behind gun sales. As Farah puts it, "There's a lot of irony here to digest."
At the heart of Farah's rambling diatribe are a number of wild-eyed Obama schemes dreamed up by the NRA, including a "massive Obama conspiracy" to confiscate privately owned firearms, the United Nations Small Arms Treaty, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives failed Operation Fast and Furious.
Farah's view on Obama and guns is rooted in his belief that that "the goal of people like Obama is, quite clearly, to ban private ownership of firearms." This idea germinates from the NRA [2], which announced in September 2011 a "massive Obama conspiracy" to end private firearm ownership in America. According to NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre:
We see the president's strategy crystal clear: get re-elected, and with no other re-elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms freedom. Erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and exorcise it from the U.S. Constitution. That's their agenda.
In fact, Obama has thus far expanded [3] where guns can be carried, signing legislation allowing firearms in national parks and on Amtrak trains.
Farah cites two bread and butter NRA conspiracies as evidence of Obama's supposed devious plot to foment violence. The first is that the Obama administration will work in concert with the United Nations to disarm Americans. According to Farah, Obama "is supporting the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that requires member states unable to disarm their populaces to be placed under the jurisdiction of the U.N. Office of Disarmament Affairs."
For years, the NRA has claimed that the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) -- the real goal of which is to prevent the diversion of weapons to human rights abusers [4] -- will be used to attack gun ownership in the United States. LaPierre even wrote an entire book [5] on the topic where he suggested that "any U.N. firearms treaty that becomes law in the U.S. could become a platform for the imposition of extremist gun control, with U.N. bureaucrats, not U.S. voters, making the decisions."
But this claim has no basis in reality. The latest draft [6] of the ATT affirms "the sovereign right" of countries to regulate firearms "pursuant to its own legal or constitutional system." The Department of State has also indicated that it will oppose [7] any treaty that contains "restrictions on civilian possession or trade of firearms otherwise permitted by law or protected by the U.S. Constitution."
Secondly, Farah claims that Operation Fast and Furious -- a failed attempt by the ATF to crack down on gun trafficking to Mexico -- was "an operation designed with one thing in mind -- to provide cover for the banning of gun sales." According to Farah, "If Obama could conceive of such an illegal and stealthy plot, why wouldn't he also stealthily take actions to increase the number of guns in the hands of Americans to make the case that there are just too many guns in the hands of Americans?"
The idea that Fast and Furious was designed as cover for further gun restrictions was also created [8] by the NRA. As LaPierre put it, "This was about putting these guns down there in Mexico and then when they found them at crime scenes going, 'Aha, we need more gun laws in the United States.'"
But an independent investigation into Operation Fast and Furious by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General soundly debunked [9] this theory. According to the Inspector General's report, there is "no evidence that the agents responsible for the cases had improper motives or were trying to accomplish anything other than dismantling a dangerous firearms trafficking organization," and that there is "no evidence that ATF Phoenix initiated the investigation in order to facilitate efforts to obtain long gun legislation."
In the end, Farah's conclusion falls perfectly in line with NRA's use of fearmongering to push gun sales. According to Farah, "I personally recommend all law-abiding Americans purchase guns and learn how to use them for their own safety, the security of their communities and the liberty of the nation."

Deerfield family honors loved ones by walking for Alzheimer's cause
By JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent | September 23. 2013 8:58PM
Along with fellow members of the team "Angels Take Action," Julie Rumfelt, her daughter and granddaughter are participating in the Central New Hampshire Walk to End Alzheimer's, which is Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. in Arms Park, Manchester.
For the past five years, Rumfelt, 43, said she's been walking to help others cope with Alzheimer's after she watched three members of her family, two sisters and a mother, suffer from the disease or from a similar illness.
"It helps families that are going through it," Rumfelt said, adding her sister Carol Fonteneau, then 59, died after losing the ability to talk, walk, eat and remember due to Alzhemier's two years ago.
"I want to do that," Leandra said, adding she has two more years of school before starting as a nurse.
"It's frightening to think that my mother or I could get Alzheimer's," Leandra said. "You can't let that stop you from living life."
Rumsfeld said these diseases are hard on everyone."You're used to that person and they become someone different," Rumsfeld said, adding Alzheimer's leaves people confused, frustrated and scared.
Rumsfeld said the information, which includes suggestions about living wills, advocate options, family care, home care and other topics, is becoming more available in doctor's offices and medical centers. She added it's essential for families to be prepared.
"So far, we've had a great response to this information," Rumsfeld said, adding people can learn more by calling the Visiting Angels office at 483-8999. For more information, visit http://act.alz.org.

text: I missed all but the last five minutes of the Celt / Cavs game, but that was still worthwhile. - Sheed with hair - Pierce calmly putting the game away - Shaq missing free throws when it counted - LBJ actually whining about probably the most obvious carrying the ball call in years. Maybe it was the crab carry. Seeing Cleveland lose is fun! Actually, I don't care about Cleveland one way or the other. Seeing LBJ lose is boatloads of fun!

Wenner-Gren Funding permitted the construction of a 1.6km boardwalk system leading from camp to the east and north through the center of the 200ha Sungai Lading study area was constructed. The boardwalk was constructed by a team of local villagers by mounting ca. 25cm wide x 2m long boards on wooden stakes at variable heights between 18 - 125cm above the peat swamp. The boardwalk was essential to working in this particular swamp forest, which is located deep within the flood zone, in order to efficiently move throughout the transect system. Without such a boardwalk, it would take up to twice as long to reach the orangutan morning nest and to return to camp after the focal lies down on its nest in the evening during the rainy season. The rainy season in this area lasts between 7-8 months of the year with water levels reaching nearly 2m at the height of the season. Considering that even with a boardwalk observers must leave camp by 3:30 each morning and do not return to camp until well after dark each evening, this project would have been impossible without such a boardwalk system.

text: In Curry's last year here, he had half the rebounds per minute and half the points per minute vs. Delfino. Thats not all that comparable. And on defense, Curry was horrid, Delfino pretty darn good. Curry had a rep as a good defender amongst fans, but not amongst the coaches. The coaches fed like sharks on Curry's lack of quickness and speed. It was kind of laughable watching Curry play power forward for Toronto after O'Neil realized that Curry could no longer follow small forwards around. I believe Curry is why Carlisle got canned, and why O'Neil got canned. Curry then going to Toronto just might have hastened Carlisle's departure from Indiana too.

She set new technical standards with a 3lz-3toe-2loop and 3flip-3toe in the same program, and had created a superior artistic impact with Turandot. Her best performance ever! 2. 2003 Kwan: Her Worlds performance was a joy, considering how much pressure and pain she suffered the year before. I only placed it second, in my opinion behind Arakawa's, because her technical content wasn't nearly as high. 3. 2005 Slutskaya: A very inspiring performance after her struggles with sickness (and with her mother's), and a 3lz-3loop as well! In terms of PCS/presentation it wasn't as great as some of the other performances, but it was definitely a great program to watch. 4. 2001 Kwan: Another great program with Kwan - she handled the pressure tremendously well, considering she wasn't the favorite 5. 2000 Kwan 6. 2007 Ando: A solid performance, but it wasn't phenomenal, which was why it only placed 2nd for the freeskate. But her reaction afterwards was priceless, one of my favorite moments 7. 2002 Slutskaya: A clean program, but a bit conservative and not nearly as much impact as her 2005 winning performance 8. 2008 Asada: She skated wonderfully, but she did have a fall in the beginning 9. 2006 Meissner: Clean program with triple-triples, but the rest of her program just wasn't as impressive, though she received a great reaction 10. 2009 Kim: I can't believe I put this record-breaking performance at the end But I didn't think her program for this year was that great - it was kind of flat and didn't catch my attention, and she even popped a jump. Not to mention, she skated to Scheherzade

The 4th generation iPod is most certainly larger than a new iPod Shuffle (that's the point, isn't it?)
A classic NES controller is bigger than a new iPod Shuffle. While some would say they're more fun, especially when plugged into the NES for a little Super Mario Brothers or Mike Tyson's Punch-out action, that's for you to decide.
This DeLorean time machine toy from Back to the Future is bigger than a new iPod Shuffle.

Comentários de outras propriedades deste anfitrião
Was a great place to stay at. Was a bit difficult to find it at first, because we've got no number for the office, but the place was great and clean, and the staff really helpful
Location of the apartment block is very accessible, it's in the alleys opposite Sogo Fuxing, the building adjacent to this Japanese restaurant. In any case, customer service is prompt and there should be little issue in getting someone to guide you to the apartment.
We stayed on the 16th floor, view was much better than expected, clear view of the 101 tower.
Size of room just right for the four of us, and it's great to have basic amenities like the kettle, hairdryer, hangers etc. In room wifi works well too.Toilet was small but clean.
One small comment, the washing machine drying function does not work, so you may have to air dry your clothes in the room while out.

The hole through the mast step is at the very edge to one side, if I recall correctly. Its a real hassle with how they had to do all of the wiring and several support pieces just to get the compression post a short distance out of the way.
Since you have the mast down, take a good look at your bulkheads that the stanchion plates bolt too. One of mine was completely rotted out. I also made brackets that bolted to the first port bulkhead to the shelf. The first port bulkhead is glassed to the hull and under the deck, but no support for the counter clockwise torque the stanchion puts on the bulkhead. as a results the deck starts to bulge up topside, and crakes the deck.
Here is some picures of what I'm talking about:
I drew in the bracket in black. I made one for each side and used through bolts. I also glassed in some support blocks. I did ad plates to each side of the spliced bulkhead. I will post this repair job when I get more time.
Good Luck and work safe

Sole area cutout I did for my 10x24x3/4 aluminum plate, black in the picture.
You may be able to use two jacks, as you described, a long piece of 3/4 inch plywood, and a 2x4 place across the cabin top. I would angle the top plywood and 2x4 about 30 degrees to the post, or angle it to go just next to the post. One end towards the starboard Sautee and the other to port by the by the head door. Then put the jacks at each end of the 2x4 supporting the 3/4 plywood on the cabin top. I would use some plywood under the jack bases on the sole too. The plywood and 2x4 would even out the load on the cabin top. You would have the jack bases out of the way on the sole and move the top up with more evenly distributed load. The load shouldn't be more then 300# divided by 2, 150 at both ends, and insure you don't damage the fiberglass top. This method would eliminate the lateral component, the jacks would be straight up and down.
If you are just fixing the floor section, leave the post bolted to the counter top. You will be able to pull the whole compression post, counter and post at the sole.
I fixed the counter top first with pole removed. Then bolted the post back up and jacked up the top again raising the post at the floor. Then fixed the sole area.
Thanks for the suggestion

Sailho, How did you jack up your mast. Did the loose turnbuckles give you any trouble with the mast not being stable?
I had my mast down for my repairs, but could be done with the mast up if done properly. The mast and spreaders weight about 125 pounds, not as heavy as you think, just tall and awkward. The foot plate the mast sets on has a 1/4-3/8 inch lip the mast extrusion fits over. This will keep the mast from slipping out from under the rigging should the rigging become loose for whatever reason. Keep in mind that is not much margin for loose rigging.
At your own risk you can gradually loosen the rigging slightly, jack up a little, check the rigging, loosen slightly, jack up slightly, and so on, until you can remove the post. Reverse after repairs
The mast only weights about 120 pounds. I would still run lines from the spreaders to the rails port, starboard, forward and aft. I would have these lines fairly relaxed. I would remove all sails and the boom.
The biggest problem is if you want to replace the counter top the metal tub sets on. You have to remove the tube completely and place a temporary 2x4 or 4x4 the correct length to support the cabin top and be able to move the jack set up. This allows you to fix it all. The bear is getting the tube out with the wires running through it. I re-stepped my mast with all new wiring too.
I even drilled each end out to be the same size on the tube. Then put in a PVC tube through the holes and glued them in. Sure made it easier to fish the wiring through the tube. Imagine a pipe with 1/4 wall and to plates welded on each end, the only 1 inch holes in the plate. You put the wire in and it hits the plate at the bottom.
Any way you can fix the weakest part of the compression post, the floor area, without much hassle. Just requires right tools and time.
here are my pictures of how I jacked up my cabin top. Remember, shouldn't have to much load on the jack if the mast is removed. You can hear when you are getting close to original height, head bulkhead will creek some where it is tabbed.
Keep an eye on the set up and boards getting out of alignment. You don't want them kicking out from under the jack. I put a piece of 3/4 plywood along the sauté and a 2x4 to keep the jack up right to accommodate the lateral force. It doesn't take much to move the top.
Jack from my Toyota or a bottle jack
Side bracing. You will need some wood door type shims for leveling the 2x4 on the sole, shown on the top right corner of the 2x4.
Jack in place with 2x4 to cabin top. I had to use some additional 2x4 under the jack to get the correct height and have travel in the jack.
Cabin top area
Once the top is at the height you want measure the distance from the top to the 2x4 next to the jack base. Cut a 2x4 length and put it next to the jack set up, using shims to adjust fit. Then remove the jack set up. You could put in a few screw attaching the 2x4 to the floor 2x4's and the 3/4 inch plywood at the top, prior to removing the jack of course.
This worked for me, there maybe better ways, but this seemed pretty easy.
Good Luck and work safely!

I just took some pictures on how I jacked up my cabin top, but my mast was off. I will post them tomorrow night or Monday.
I took the metal post out because it was driving me nuts thinking about having to fish the mast wires through the small holes then the tube itself. I'm going to drill the holes out to 1 3/8 and put in 1 inch PVC pipe, wires will pass through easy with no hanging up.

Re: Compression post repaired
Thank You for your positive comments on my fix post. I was hoping the effort was worth it to the Islander 28 community.
I do wish I had taken pictures of how I did the cabin top jack up part. I was pretty busy at the time and not really wanting to snap pictures.
Thanks All!

Safety, convince, and easier to work on the repair with the mast removed goes a long way with this repair. This can be a costly repair if done by a contractor or boat yard. You save plenty by doing it yourself, spend some of the saving, its well worth it, on de-masting the boat.
The repair will take you 4 or more days to complete, long time to suspend the mast of the compression post. Most experienced riggers can bring down the mast with the boat still at the dock with or without a crane.
Oh, one of my chain plate bulk heads, the forward port one, was completely rotten from the chain plate leaking, a previous owner used silicone. If you have chain plates that have been leaking, a good probability, and your shrouds could fail. My bulk head looked fine until I removed the chain plate. I was able to fix because safely because the mast was down. Another point for de-masting.
Good Luck whichever way you go.

I know my blog has been awfully quiet the last couple of weeks and while we are still in the process of moving, last night I whipped up these New Year Resolutions Printables to share with you before my computer was packed. This year I wanted something I could put up somewhere in our new house that would remind me of the goals I want to be working on constantly. As you can see the first of my New Year Resolutions printable is a list that is somewhat general. I am a goal oriented person and while I often need a very specific goal to be working towards I also want to work on being happy with the small achievements.
I can't really put a number to the times I say " I love you," I just know I need to say it more than I do now. For some reasons those words just don't come out as easily and often as they should. Same goes with my goal to "enjoy today." You can't put a number on that but its something I want to be better at. The grass be green on the other side but it doesn't mean that its not green in the here and now as well. Sometimes it just needs a little water. You get the idea.
I thought that perhaps I would share this printable with all of you in case we are working on similar goals.
The idea is that you would print these goals on an 8 1/2 x 11 size paper and then trim it to fit into an 8 x 10 frame.
You can find this free download on my website here.
Next I have a New Year Resolutions quote. Often as I'm laying in bed each night I think, "Why did I say that?" "I should have called this person." "Why am I so judgmental?" While I have my general goals up above, my 2013 "theme" or overall goal is going to be "Do all things with love." When it comes down to it, I want to learn how to have a greater capacity to love those around me.
This printable again was meant to be printed on an 8 1/2 x 11 size paper and trimmed to fit an 8 x 10 frame and can also be found on my website.
There are two 5 x 7 quotes on an 8 1/2 x 11 size paper. Find this and all of my free printables on my website.
Hopefully we will get completely settled and moved in the next couple of weeks and I can resume a more regular blogging schedule.
In the meantime, what are some of your 2013 New Year Resolutions? Do you have a family theme you work on each year?

Monday 18th October 2010
Every season we get games like Saturday and as the dust settles I think we all realise that we came away with the No 1 priority achieved.
Without being disrespectful to our opponents if we are going to challenge for the title, Saturday's was a fixture we simply had to win. Especially of course after what happened in our last home league outing!
Of course, as seems the norm these days, it was another game that included one or two controversial moments but overall the TV replays came out fairly favourably I feel.
Seb was onside (just) when the ball was played in for our disallowed goal so unfortunately that one went against us. Some might say our penalty, on the other hand, was debatable but replays suggested Marouanne was touched in the box. The defender certainly went in for the tackle and was a million miles from the ball!
So, after dominating the first 20 minutes or so without making it tell, we went in at half time level and upbeat instead of totally frustrated and being a goal behind.
The second period could not have started better with our Moroccan striker at the heart of the action once again, this time neatly slotting home to give us what was to be a match-winning second goal.
A huge three points then as this period of the season's almost match-by-match competition change sees us take on the other team in our Champions League group with a 100 per cent record so far - Shakhtar Donetsk.
It is a fixture many of us remember for when we grabbed three points in the dying seconds of a game we were losing as the clock hit 90 minutes. Martin Keown in particular will have fond memories, netting an unlikely double to see us home in 2000.
Teams from that part of the world are always extremely talented technically and never make it an easy fixture. I don't expect tomorrow to be any different.
It also sees a quick return for Eduardo since he moved on to pastures new. Reactions from supporters when an 'old boy' returns very much vary from player to player. I expect nothing more than a fantastic one to welcome him back.
That's where the niceties should end though as three points are to be played for.
Wrap up warm if you are heading to N5 tomorrow night, it's due to be a bit chilly!

Before ComicCon I made a bit more progress toward completing my Zam - I sculpted my interpretation of all of the interesting little things that hang from her belt and the thing on her arm.
unpainted resin casts:
and with my paint job (I regret using a gloss sealer):
We started using a new type of silicon from a company called FX Solutions and I have to say, I've been dumping excess resin in them quite a bit and they still look good! Cris knows the exact name of the silicon - it is a bit tricky to mix in a 10:1 ratio but we haven't had anything not cure yet.
Post here or PM if you have any questions!

a good paint with proper dilution will lay down and self level
a good paint with proper dilution will lay down and self level
Yes, all of the gray and silver (and later, maroon on the mandibles) is applied with a small
detail brush. I take absolutely zero credit for the way the paint lays down. I use Floquil
Bright Silver and like all the Floquil/Polly Scale paints it levels out tremendously well.
The Flo/PS paints are very pigment-heavy compared to other hobby paints, and I think
that's certainly a factor in the way they brush on. You don't need heavy/multiple coats
to get great coverage.
Humbrols lay down about the same...
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I've only used Humbrols once before on another prop project. I shot a couple
of the metallic shades onto a blaster. They airbrushed really smooth but I've
never tried brushing them on.
UPDATE: April 16, 2014
Moving around the dome now. Here's the area just behind the RF ear.
You can see some of the grays I tested on the upper platform.
Right after I post this update, I'll be crossing over to the front of the dome and
beginning the cat scratch and the associated damage. This is one of my
favorite areas to paint! So much fine detail crammed into a small section.
Just did that bit last night but worked from the front to back lol....
Yeah, I saw. Looks great!
UPDATE: April 17, 2014
Couple of key features completed! There are 3 main damage areas in the catscratch section of
the dome. The catscratch itself, the smaller humped area just in front of the RF ear arch, and the
area above the catscratch. I generally try to do these parts together because they're sort of
interrelated as far as their positions go. The "negative space" between them is important, just as
the shapes are important.
I'm really digging this gray blend. It becomes stronger or slightly fades depending on the lighting.
Here are a couple of angles.
Next up will be the smallish scrape above the turn signals, then I'll begin. . . the dent!
Its called negative space SJ...and totally agree...my old college professor for my 2d design harpped big time on the negative, I actually look at the negative more then the positive space because of that....
You just make it look to easy lol
"Easy? You call that easy?!" Sorry, couldn't resist the Han quote.
UPDATE: April 19, 2014
Got the dent area done! Still working with my gray and silver.
This is hard to photograph because of the reflections, so I took shots from
a couple of different angles.
The contrasting pale gray and the "blast damage" are yet to be added. I do those
steps toward the end of the project, just before the final protective clear coat.
Next will be the big crazy scrape across the top of the dome. After that
it will be killstripe time. There are a couple more silver/gray areas to do, but
their positions are dependent on the stripes, so I do those after the stripes
are airbrushed on.
UPDATE #2: April 20, 2014
Killstripe time! Have a nice relaxing afternoon so I thought I'd show my entire killstripe process.
Lots of pics to follow.
I begin by measuring out where the stripes will go. I use several reference pics to do this. It's
best to have reference pics that are as oblique as possible. In other words, pics where the camera
is at 90 degrees from the area you want to measure.
The first measurement I determine is how much space there is between the red band and the bottom
of the killstripes. The best measurement I could get was 7 mm. (I always do my measurements in
metric. I can get a greater degree of accuracy that way.) I cut a strip of blue painters tape that is
7 mm wide and apply it to the helmet. I keep it flush with the upper limit of the "hat band" ridge.
Next, I use reference pics to determine the position of the stripe above the left ear. In this pic of
my laptop, I have drawn a thin line that goes right up the center of the ear piece. It shows that the
stripe above the ear has its front edge slightly forward of the ear centerline.
I mark the center of the ear platform on the helmet and extend that line upward onto the
blue tape. This will help determine the placement of that stripe.
The measurements I have come up with for the stripes themselves are: 8 mm wide, 25 mm tall,
with a 6 mm space between each stripe. Tamiya makes a 6 mm masking tape, which is perfect
for taping off the spaces between the stripes.
I use the line I made previously and apply the first piece of Tamiya tape. In the following pic, you
can see that I've positioned it slightly forward of the pencil line. This makes the front edge of
that stripe slightly forward of the ear centerline, just as I explained above.
I then measure and mark lines 8 mm on either side of the Tamiya tape. Then I continue to
apply strips of Tamiya tape vertically, marking out the killstripes. I generally write a small number
below each stripe so I don't get lost when I mask off the chips!
I continue this process until all 17 killstripes are masked off. Ahaaa!! Caught you napping. . .
there are 14 stripes of course.
I then mark off 25 mm vertically from the bottom of the stripes (top edge of the blue tape).
I use another piece of blue tape to mark the upper limit of each stripe. I cut the tape thin
to conform better to the curve of the helmet.
Continued in next post!
UPDATE #2: April 20, 2014 (Continued)
Now that the killstripes are marked off, it's time to mask off the chips. I like to use
Winsor & Netwon masking fluid. Just personal preference, there are lots of great masking
products out there. I also use the "Superfine" size Microbrushes to apply the fluid.
Here's a Microbrush compared with a standard cotton swab.
I use several reference pics when I apply the masking fluid. I go slow, and I'm constantly
counting the stripes as I go so I don't get lost in the middle!
Here are the stripes with the chips all masked off. The shiny bits are the dried Winsor & Newton.
I've done quite a bit of work to the helmet by this point, and I don't want to take any chances
with any sloppy accidents, so I mask the entire helmet with some plastic wrap.
Now it's airbrushing time! (Pssshhhhhh. . . psshhhh. . . psssshhhh!) That was my airbrush
sound effect. I shoot a couple of light/medium coats of UP Armor Yellow, then give the
airbrush a quick rinse and immediately apply some orangey-red to the rear of the run of stripes.
It's a subtle color shift from about the middle of the run to the rear.
After I finish cleaning my airbrush, I go ahead and remove the plastic wrap. I leave the tape on
for a few hours while the paint cures fully. I use acrylics, so it really doesn't take a tremendously
long time. I also leave the tape on because I don't want to disturb the masking fluid while the
paint is curing. That can lead to headaches when trying to remove the fluid.
So that's where the helmet sits! I'll post a final pic of the stripes once everything is dry
and I've had a chance to remove the masking fluid. Stay tuned!
UPDATE #3: April 20, 2014
Results! Got the stripes unmasked and removed the masking fluid using my rubber cement
pickup. This is a very handy tool for removing dried latex-based mask.
Next I'll complete the damage on the dome by going back and adding the sections in between
and above the killstripes. Then it will be on to the inner cheeks.
Nice SJ your detail is perfect ! Just amazing.
Wow, After a long absence from this forum I come back and see people still doing absolutely amazing work!
The master at work! Love these Superjedi paint-up threads! Everything is well described and backed up with great images and color list. I already suggested this, and I will repeat myself: why don't you do a new thread regarding Killstripes, The Making of, as there are always people asking about it.
Thanks, guys! Having fun with this one.
this thread and put it in the Prop Building Workshop forum I suppose. I'll see about that when I have another lazy day.
UPDATE: April 23, 2014
The dome is complete!
I finished the areas between and above the killstripes. The positions of these little areas is
very dependent on the stripes. That's why I wait until I've gotten the stripes airbrushed on.
Here are a couple of different angles. With the curvature of the helmet it's difficult to get a
single shot that captures everything.
In the exhibit photos, this area of the helmet has taken a beating over the years! But by carefully viewing
ESB screencaps, you can make a determination as to what damage was present during filming, and what
came later from years of storage and manhandling.
A view from a slightly higher angle.
If you noticed, I've drilled the holes in the ear platforms to accept the bolts that are
already epoxied into the ear pieces. The next stage will involve measuring and cutting
the physical damage into the left cheek and the mandibles. After that I'll paint the
outer cheeks, then begin working the detail on the inner cheeks. Once the cheeks are
painted, the "Boba look" will really start to come together.
Boom! Then you can slap some lipstick on that bitch!!!..
Looking freakin amazing as always my good man
Amazing work....
LOL, Jonny.
Thanks, guys!
UPDATE: April 25, 2014
Just a quick one tonight. Got the physical damage marked and carved out, and painted
the outer cheeks. I do these with a 1/2 inch flat brush. Couple coats of PRR Brunswick
Green and it's good to go!
Now that the outer cheeks are done, I'll work on all the cheek damage this weekend.
Almost time to get some red on this puppy!
UPDATE: April 26, 2014
Right cheek is done. I'm starting to see the world in gray and silver now. . .
Closer shot.
The damage in the outermost corner of the upper cheek is more closely associated with
the mandible damage, so I won't paint it until I reach that stage.
I'll start the left cheek after lunch today. I'm hoping to have enough time to finish
it up by this evening. If so, I should be able to lay down the red basecoat on the
mandibles/band/keyslot area tomorrow.
UPDATE #2: April 26, 2014
Left cheek complete! Took a bit longer since there's more damage on
this side than the other.
This is one of the sections where I use another custom mixed color. The damage
on the inner cheek uses the same gray/silver that appears everywhere else, except
for the little strip down the outer edge. Here it's a slightly greener gray. Like I've
mentioned in my other progress threads, I can't find anywhere else on the helmet
where this color is used, and I've looked at enough reference pics to show that it is
in fact a slightly different shade.
To get this tone, I take my dome/cheek gray and mix in some of the darker blue green
color from the rear panels. I add a few drops of the blue green at a time until it becomes
noticeably different in appearance.
It's pretty subtle, but it's just one of those fascinating little details of the ESB bucket!
Next up, masking off and airbrushing the base red for the mandibles.
UPDATE: April 27, 2014
Red! Finally, another color besides gray and silver!
Got the red airbrushed on late yesterday, and today I began the damage
by doing the keyslot area. . . so it's back to gray and silver after all.
Except now I can add the maroon! Yay!
This area will also get some of the pale contrasting gray once the rest of the
paint job is complete. Here's a closer look.
Next I'll begin working on the band above the keyslots.

RALEIGH, NC -- Most of North Carolina's Internet cafés with sweepstakes videogames will probably remain open after Dec. 1, despite the fact that a new state law takes effect on that day that was specifically intended to ban this type of amusement.
Brad Crone, a spokesman for the Entertainment Group of North Carolina, the state's major operator association, told press outlets across the state that operators will launch a new type of sweepstakes videogame in November or early December that will conform with HB 80, the sweepstakes game ban.
The law in question -- "An Act to Ban the Use of Electronic Games and Devices for Sweepstakes Purposes" -- was passed this summer by the General Assembly and subsequently signed by Gov. Bev Perdue. It takes effect Dec. 1. [see story]
The language of the bill includes a multi-part description of prohibited "machines and devices," including the provision that banned equipment is "server based."
Presumably, however, a sweepstakes videogame that is not server based (or otherwise differs from the law's lengthy definition of banned devices) could continue to operate after Dec. 1 and remain in compliance with the law.
Echoing past comments by EGNC leaders and the Internet Based Sweepstakes Organization, a rival association, Crone told a reporter for a Charlotte TV station that the sweepstakes games industry is a "moving target" that cannot be effectively eliminated by legislators "because it's driven by technology." [see story]
Accordingly, said Crone, lawmakers should regulate and tax the risk-reward entertainment machine industry. EGNC has been lobbying for a well-regulated video lottery system for at least two years, saying taxes on the machines could add $500 million a year to state coffers.

Daily Mass, weekly confession, crucifixes in classrooms, a devotion to Mary and a quick prayer before a test are what many non-Catholics might experience and observe when attending a Catholic school for the first time. None of that is difficult to understand for Alizeh Yusuf, as she attended a Catholic convent for girls all throughout elementary school.
Yusuf, however, is not Catholic. She is Muslim, with a great understanding of the Catholic faith, and she is the 2014 student Commencement Speaker.
On May 17, 2014, Yusuf will address 298 undergraduate and 739 graduate students with her speech, "Taking Our Story Beyond UST" at 10 a.m. in Reliant Stadium, One Reliant Park.
"This is such an amazing and great opportunity, and I'm very excited," Yusuf said. "It's just the perfect culmination to my UST experience to be able to talk about with everyone on the day that we graduate."
A Welcoming Environment for All
Yusuf chose the University of St. Thomas because the campus reminded her of the Catholic convent in Karachi, Pakistan, where Yusuf was raised, although she was born in Houston. Her appreciation and familiarity with the Catholic faith also contributed to her decision to stay with UST.
"People would say, 'Oh no you're Muslim, why would you go there?' But growing up, Jesus and Mary were everywhere, and I've always been close to the Catholic faith," Yusuf said. "It was just a comforting feeling, and you want to go to someplace that you would feel nurtured in, not just go there and come back. I felt like I would get that nurturing at UST."
Faith, science, people and love are four things most people would never associate with one place. But for Yusuf, these four things are what inspire her to work hard every day and strive for greatness.
Yusuf is one of the founders of the Interfaith Council, a club that seeks to facilitate interfaith dialogue, understanding and exposure to different faiths.
"There is a huge similarity between Islam and Catholicism that often times many people don't see because we're taught to look at differences," Yusuf said. "That is why starting the Interfaith Council was important to me. We ultimately all have the same goals, to lead a good life without sin and believe in God."
A Servant Leader's Heart for Others
Life after graduation may seem like a daunting time, but Yusuf hopes to alleviate some fear and instill hope to her fellow peers with her speech. The speech will focus on the diversity in the UST community, along with the philanthropy and altruism of the students at UST.
"Students here really go out of their way to do volunteer stuff and fundraisers for various causes," Yusuf said. "It's really wonderful to see that different kinds of people can put aside their differences, come together and work for something good in the community. That's something that we really need in the world today."
As a biology and international studies joint major, Yusuf hopes to take all she's learned at the University of St. Thomas and apply it to the real world, as either a doctor with Doctors without Borders or as a member of an international organization, such as the United Nations or the World Health Organization.
"I grew up in Pakistan and then moved to Houston so I've always wanted to work in an international setting," Yusuf said. "I want to integrate medicine with international affairs because I think it's important to learn not only the science of medicine, but also the science of people."
The Best is Yet To Come
Yusuf is filled with mixed emotions as she ends the year, excitement tinged with bitter sweetness as she leaves the place she called home for so long. She'll miss the University a lot, but hopes that the students who come after her will have the same experiences she did, if not better.
When Yusuf stands in front of her peers on May 17, amidst all the chaos, nerves and excitement, there is one thing that she hopes people take away from her speech and experience.
"Whatever you have accomplished here, continue it on," Yusuf said. "Whatever you do, whatever field you go in to, make sure you do it so well that when other people follow in your footsteps, they can do so without regret. This is not the end."

Theo Walcott believes that Kieran Gibbs made the most important tackle of his career in Sunday's vital victory over West Bromwich Albion.
The Arsenal left back made a superb last-ditch challenge in injury time to deny Billy Jones and help his side claim the three points that secured Champions League football.
Walcott is delighted to have sealed third place, but says the team owe a debt of gratitude to Gibbs, who came on as a second-half substitute.
"It is a fantastic feeling - we have been hot and cold all season and it doesn't matter how you play, as long as you get the result here," he told Arsenal Player.
"Third is fantastic - you wouldn't have thought that at the start of the season, the way we started off.
"I have to give credit to Kieran Gibbs. The boss has always says, 'you have to be ready when you come off the bench' and Gibbsy made probably made the most important tackle of his career so far.
"You never know what would have happened as we have a world-class keeper behind him and he could have stopped it, but you have to give credit to Gibbo."

Alright, as of today,I am a first time owner of the DM platform (a DM9). I have done a lot of forumresearching/techpb vids to get a good handle on what to expect with my DM9. Iam more focused on how to properly tune then gun. All the forums i have read sayto begin with a different thing. I am trying to tune my gun for best consistency,so i know i need a medium/high dwell (19-21), LPR a bit lower than stock, andHPR set to the fps I need.
BUT which one do itweak first???? Do i change my stock dwell of 18 to 20, and then adjust theLPR, and the finally the HPR? Or do i begin with the HPR being at the fps idesire and then adjust the dwell and then the LPR? Or another combination? Any help and tips would be most appreciated. Thank you very much
