Yes my machine is the R/W/B, I was fortunate enough to get NOS decals for it and have an extra set...just in case, if anything happened it would be next to impossible to replace. my 68 Rebel, was quite a deal, I saw and add in the local news paper for it and it read, "for sale, 68 Rebel, new 4 speed transmission, 343, running, $800.00." I figured the 4 speed alone would be great and I could make up the rest with a running 343...well I went and looked at the car and the body, although the original paint (blue) was faded, was mint, same with the interior. I didn't argue, I paid the guy, drove it home and kept the car. I didn't do a frame off on it, it would have been nice but,really didn't need it. Just did the paint, cleaned up the interior and rebuilt the front end. One of my better deals...except my 69 AMX...I'll never part with that one.
Your right about the after 1970 AMC's...again...except the Gremlin. I loved the Gremlin because it was so easy to drop whatever AMC, V8 you wanted in them, and they are so ugly, they look good...it's almost like AMC was building a car, ran out of resources and cut 2 feet off the back to save money...it was like a V8 Vega with 1/10 the work. My Gremlin now has a 1971 AMC 401 in it and is a blast to drive. Does it go fast in the 1/4 mile? NO...I haven't done any suspension work to it, but the best burnouts you can imagine.
I still would love to get a SC/Scrambler, I think it would make my AMC collection complete, for me anyway. I'm sure someday I'll either be able to afford the asking price for a good one or find one that's rebuildable for a decent price. When I got my Machine decal kits, I also got a NOS Scrambler kit complete.
|Sounds like quite a collection you have there. That Machine you have is it R/W/B paint or a color? Always liked those cars, the guy that bought my scrambler, his brother who I know quite well has a nice collection of rare AMC muscle cars and has a real nice machine. I am with you on the 71 up big hump fender javs and amx's. The last one as far as I am concerned was the 70 AMX. Not too many people care for the amc's and I think the AMX was never really recognized for the great muscle car it really was and could hold its own against any of the other big motored muscle cars of it's day. Today the scrambler is mostly sought after for it's rarity, as they only built 1512 of them. Now because all the wealthy collectors are getting into this the prices are out of reach. When I bought mine back in 1987 I did not buy it because of it's rarity and the fact that some day it would be a collectors item, I bought it because I really liked the car a lot and thought it was the wildest paint sheme to ever come from the factory. I drove the car hard, the way they used to be driven even after I finished the restoration back in 1990. Today if you were to take a ride in one of these cars, it would not be anything like it was back then by any means, for the fear of something happening to this "valuable" piece of history.

I guess I should mention that I have several pre 71 Javelins, but thy aren't done yet, I've put them on the back burner for now but, they will get done. They should be counted in my AMC stable, but I don't consider them as a true part of the collection until the're done.
Not a big fan of the 1971 and up AMC's (as a rule, except the Gremlin), I call the Javelin's and the AMX's humpsters, because of the humps over the front and rear wheels. Some people like them, I don't.

I've been into all muscle cars but AMC was one that I fell in love with in 1970. The AMX was into it's 3rd year and I was looking for my first real car...My neighbor was selling his 290 68 AMX and I always loved the looks, with a 2 seater, I wouldn't be able to have a bunch of rowdy buddies in the car and it was just different. He wanted a whopping $1,400 for the car and all I had saves up was about $1,200. So I ended up with a 67 Firebird...it was great had it for years and did paint body and engine work. Still loved AMC, so in 1990 I was at an estate sale and picked up my first AMC, I finally got a 69 AMX 390 4 speed group 19 package with about 40,000 miles for $1,750. Still have the car and have added the 68 and 70 to the AMX collection as well as a 68 343 4 speed Rebel, 70 Machine, and a 71 Gremlin. The pride of the AMC part of my collection is the 69 AMX....it's almost to clean and original to drive. The last time I drove it I lost a fan belt and it took me a while to find a NOS belt to replace it. So now I'm collecting as much NOS stuff that I can find for my AMC's
I always wanted the 69 SC/Scrambler but a good one is hard to find and when I have found one, well for some reason (I know they only made about 1,500 of them) they are priced real high. Oh well, 1 day I'll get lucky and get that barn find.
|Always said the best paintjobs are all in the blocking and buffing skills, period. You could put a bad paint job on good prep work and possibly salvage it as long as there is enough material to sand into for buffing. But if the prep on the blocking end of it is bad (ripples) then I don't care how good you can paint or buff the end result will still look bad. I am probably my own worst enemy with being critical on the blocking end of it, and wont stop until it is right and ready to spray. Then the work begins all over again when it's time to start wet sanding and buffing, this is where all the hard work really pays off. By the way Ray, I have had a few AMC muscle cars myself. Started off with the 304 powered gremlin X's, then picked up a hurst sc/rambler, then a 69 AMX with the 390 go pak and 4 speed. Unfortunately had to sell the sc/rambler a few years back (thanks to this economy). The AMX was sold back in 97, and the gremlins had a lot of fun with swapping out the bigger 343 and 360's. How long have you been into the AMC's?
|69 widetrack
Right, Right and did I mention that you where Right...Prep is the major part on any paint job...With out good prep, there is no reason to paint a vehicle...I won't...I used to send vehicles back to the prep line when I worked flat rate and even when I worked straight time. People do get excited and the laymen will call poor prep work a bad paint job...and in a way I guess their right...it shouldn't have been painted.
Now that I'm in a position to work on the vehicles I want to work on and when I want to work on them...I insist I do all my own prep work...That way I know that it's done to the standards I want...It used to take me months to train a good prep person and a good prepper is way under rated and deserves to get paid in the same range as a good painter...they go hand in hand.
|I knew an old guy that was a heavy equipment operator that had an old P/U with a rotted out floor...One day when the cement truck had poured a footing for a bridge he decided while he was sitting around that he would get some of that mesh and fix that hole, then he scraped up some cement that fell on the ground and threw that over the mesh ....worked like a champ he said, until a coulpe months later.....He was driving down the highway and a chunk of it fell out and blew his tire when he ran over it....Funny ,yes but it could have killed him...or worse someone else....
|Had an old junk ranger used great stuff on the bed sides above the wheels on bothsides where rotted out duraglassed over that then filler.Lasted almost three years lol
|painted jester
How about the old news articles from the papers stuck in the hole with the mud or the piece of wood and window screen
Whats the wierdest thing we found that was used to fill a hole or brace the mud !
I found an old "Negro Quepy doll) in a 54 ford in the quarter panel bracing the filler!! LOL
Hi all,please post photos of the bondo chunks that fall out,we can all use a good laugh...........
|painted jester
I was working on an old Mopar Engine and trans install a few months ago!! I lowered the engine and bumped the cross member hard and a 3 foot x one foot piece droped out of the quarter LOL It was a good 6 inches thick It must have been 30 LB.'s !!!!! It was so funny the owner was there with his buddy's talking about what good shape it was in, Everyone was laughing but the owner LOL
I pulled an 05 monty in the shop to fix a damaged door ,a few hours later I was finished and closed the door when I heard something hit the floor ,when I turned around it was any bodymans nightmare....A hudge chunk of bondo just fell out of the 1/4 about 12"x12"and about 1 1/2" thick...IT JUST FELL OUT...I never even touched the 1/4, someone had used a slide puller (I think just for the holes) because it was still shinny paint underneath ,the holes were all that it was holding onto...
The shape of it looked like the state of Texas ,so I saved it and hung it up...Look to theleft of the booth window,its hanging under the shelf...
A couple years later it happend again on an 80 something Porche but this time it looked like the state of Fla...I saved that one too...I sure hope my United states of bondo collection ends here I'd hate to end up any more...Or whats next ..... Jesus or the virgin Mary
people did hella good jobs with a lot less not all that long ago..
most times the mid grade paint job ,scares the owner into not driving it. and then ,sells because it's never used.. it's become a life sized hotwheels..
owners have got pissed at my dad when he'd try to talk them out of the mid/high paint systems on a driver.. try'n to explain.. they'll be afraid to get a chip in it and chance a wreck..
some don't hear what he said untill it's sat in their garage for a year + and seen one or two shows because they can't enjoy it.. as they are freaking out driving it.. and the next car.. gets what daddo. advises after talking to them on what they want out of the CAR. when done..

Hmmm what's the ILX got going in its favor? Not too long ago my bro test drove a ILX, wasn't impressed at all with it and purchased a new Aston Martin......I meam Fusion. It's too bad that even though Acura launched the Japanese luxury theme, that after all these years its name plate alone doesn't have enough clout to it to deter a shopper from walking away from it to purchase a Ford
Finally saw one on the road the other day. It's ugly .... and forgettable. Not surprised it isn't selling particularly well.
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
Needs old RDX drivetrain + 6 speed manual. Then you have a WRX without the sh*tty interior.
I'd still buy a GLI over it.

I have test driven a lot of cars this summer.
The ILX was not among my favorites. It was outclassed in interior room, sightlines, equipment levels, refinement, driving enjoyment, comfort and space by a Mazda3. Which was one of the best new cars I test drove (I tested a 2010 with 70k kms too and it was just as solid and tight).
You cannot hide the Civic roots, when you push the car that's all it feels like. My buddy recently bought a 2010 Civic Si sedan - and that car just felt so much better. You knew what its mission was - to provide inexpensive, solid, reliable, high-revving fun! And it does that. It's an excellent car, because it has a real mission. The ILX is a combination of the Si and a luxury model. It doesn't work. Even the 2.4L 6-spd version doesn't work... it has the worst manual transmission and clutch I've ever used on a Honda. Every Honda manual has been slick, smooth, fast, and damn enjoyable. This thing rev-hung, the clutch felt weird, the shifter was notchy, the engine over-reved too easy when taking off. Terrible. The automatic version felt slow. The handling at the limit on both felt wonky... It just all of a sudden feels unstable.
The high end ELS stereo is clear, but there is not much bass... for a 360W system with a sub it's very weak. I was highly disappointed... it also has bluetooth from 2-3 years ago. The whole multimedia interface seems like it was designed about 10 years ago then updated with a patch recently... It just seems really outdated.
They need to drop $5K across the range, which is were it should have been from the start, and they see sales take off.
people saying ILX is like another Civic.
I think sales will jump if they give 2.4L an auto option and navigation.
RIP Cosmic TDI
If the MSRP for the ILX (god, what a stupid, meaningless alphanumeric name) is $25,900 and a loaded Civic is $23,xxx and they ILX features things like more sound dampening, improved interior, etc....then the ILX is basically what the Civic should be if Honda was serious about leading in that market segment again.
In other words, Honda did not make the Civic as good as they knew how to. Which, coming from Honda, is depressing. When I purchase a brand new car, I like to think to think that the car is as good as that company possibly could have made it and still turned a profit. Otherwise, you've got this weird thing going on like Porsche does with the Cayman. It should be better than a 911, but they've held it back artificially.
And it seems to me that the Civic could have been good enough to render the ILX pointless, but Honda let cynicism win the day.
Have driven all three ILX's. 2 are very, very boring, 1 is amazing. The 2.4 6 speed, Pretty much an SI that doesnt look like robot poo. Only badging is the hybrid, so 2.4's look like 2.0's. Making me like it even more, kinda of a sleeper, with the hidden exhaust and no nav too. mmm.
For what it is, it's a good car.
But it's not been marketed very well, nor do their target audience nowadays really care about more than MPG and price. $25.9k isn't a bad start for a car with those features but when most of those "features" aren't really a concern of the casual buyer, then there's the problem with sales.
This isn't a new concept, oh Einsteins of TCL. How is this any different than the old Acura EL?
MemeGate 2012 - First Responder, post #2
Buy my wife's old laptop!
Thing I don't get is why they're trying to pull defeat from the jaws of victory when there's a fat, perfect market segment just waiting there for somebody to exploit it. Build a $25-30k compact sport sedan with a sharp design and a turbo four developing around 230-240 hp and SH-AWD as an option, make it look okay, call it the Integra, and sell a goddamn million of them to 35-55 year old professionals who are tempted by the WRX, Focus ST, MS3, and so forth but want something a little more grown up that doesn't rape their wallet like the Tier 1s do. As it stands the GTI and GLI have that market essentially to themselves. Undercut the upcoming A3 sedan by a few grand or so, and they've got it made.
Last edited by Turbio!; 10-05-2012 at 09:50 AM.
Turbio--I agree, but the issue is that SH-AWD is now Acura's outdated tech. It's not going to be a focal point anymore, as they ready their next-gen system for launch in the next few years.
SH-AWD is also heavy...part of the reason for the 1st-gen RDX's perceived poor MPG.
Im not sure im seeing how this is a sales "flop" just yet
It was a new model that people didn't know existed yet and each month its been increasing in sales based on the figures posted. Month 4 is almost double month 1. If they go with a nice marketing push and the sales continue to trend upwards then I don't think 40k units is unreachable.
This is so much not on Buick's radar as a competitor that they don't even compare it in our side by side comparisons.
Now that I see standard content, available options, and standard power trains I see why. It is a sub par vehicle for the cash.

Meanwhile in Canada....... the ILX is selling better than its predecessor, the CSX.
I guess we just really like fancy Civics.

We've got two exciting full time job openings in FRC that were recently posted, one for a Mechanical Engineer and one for a Software Engineer. You can find the details here: http://www.usfirst.org/aboutus/employment. You don't need to enter any search terms on the web page, just click the 'Search' button at the bottom of the 'Job Listings' section and you will be able to find them quickly in the list.
Here's the overview of the Mechanical Engineer position:
"As a member of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) engineering team this individual will work collaboratively with the Game Design Committee to help develop and prototype the FRC field and game components used at FRC events. Incumbent will be involved with the final design and documentation of all mechanical aspects of the FRC Field."
And the overview of the Software Engineer position:
"As a member of the Engineering team, this individual is involved with the design and development of electrical and software engineering aspects of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). Work in conjunction with the FRC Engineering team, Game Design Committee (GDC), and external developers to create prototype field and game components and robot systems for use in FIRST events."
Sounds pretty sweet, right? All this, and you get to live in the beautiful state of New Hampshire, with one of the lowest tax burdens in the nation.
These two positions will have a direct impact on the ongoing success of FRC, and we're hoping to see some very enthusiastic and qualified candidates. See the website for all the details and how to apply.
While the Mechanical Engineer is an addition to our team, unfortunately, the Software Engineer is a replacement for Ryan Foley, who is leaving our engineering staff after nearly 3 years of hard work. Among other things, Ryan was principal programmer for the touchscreen interfaces used on the field the last three years, designed and programmed the radio Kiosk software, and was a co-author of the 2012 Einstein report, as well as being one of the engineers sitting in our 'Mission Control' every weekend official FRC events were taking place to keep everyone on track. Ryan is leaving FRC to pursue a new career opportunity in Maine, and so he can work more closely with the growing robotics community up there. As FRC staff members, while we get to see the big-picture impact of our work, which is very satisfying, we often miss out on the more local team-level work, which comes with its own set of rewards. We thank Ryan for all his hard work and wish him the best of luck!
I'll blog again soon. [Note: There will be no Frank Answers Friday this week. We'll pick it up again next week.]

New-generation high-range water-reducing admixtures have the ability to challenge even the most tried-and-true industry standards, and yet we still do not have a standard name for the concrete they produce. One of the hottest and most controversial subjects in the concrete industry is what's known as self-leveling (SLC), self-placing (SPC), self-consolidating, or self-compacting concrete (SCC). Several admixtures are designed to produce concrete that fits any of these four often-interchangeable descriptions. Most of these concretes actually have less water than standard mix designs.
Because of the fluid nature of the concrete, a more continuous grading of aggregates is required. Also, many producers have pursued cost-effective SCC solutions through the use of high-volume fly ash replacement and still achieved optimum performance from the mix design. But the real magic in producing this type of concrete comes from the chemical admixtures.
SCC, SLC, and SPC are produced through a combination of superplasticizers and what are called viscosity-modifying admixtures (VMAs). According to Tony Schlagbaum, group marketing manager at Master Builders, VMAs offer two major advantages: 1. extreme rheology control and 2. improved engineering properties vs. a high fines mix-design approach. The use of a VMA creates a certain amount of "fluidity forgiveness" in the mix if excess water content is present. Under ordinary circumstances, this would produce a mix that would tend to segregate. But with the use of a VMA, the mix remains cohesive and maintains its viscosity.
The article includes definitions of SCC, SLC, and SPC; a list of commercially available SCC admixtures; and a list of SCC workability test methods.

I agree, the print is too dark. Not happy with how this turned out at all. Another one for the "looked good on the screen" bin.
Any idea when the mens size medium will be back in stock? I ordered for two out of my three kids....that third one will feel like the red headed stepchild....
First shirt I've received from Woot where the image definitely degraded after one washing (new washer and drier). Very disappointed - I really liked the concept of this shirt.

It's just as cool, just as indulgent as ice cream, but with a fraction of the carbs and calories
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | August 28. 2013 12:48AM
Theresa Anderson serves up a mix of gelato flavors the way it's done in Italy at Swan Chocolates in Merrimack. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER)
Made with milk, and containing a fraction of the butterfat content of ice cream, gelato offers advantages health-wise, but that's not really why people eat it, said Theresa Anderson, who owns Swan Chocolates in Merrimack with her husband Michael.
Jack Anderson, whose parents own Swan Chocolates in Merrimack, indulges in a bit of gelato, his favorite treat. (Nancy Bean Foster)
"Some of our customers are people who experienced gelato in Europe and couldn't wait to have it again," said Anderson. "But the rest are people who have heard about it and are curious to see what all the talk is about. They love it."
"It's a business that will never fail," he said. "People may not have the money to go out to dinner, but they'll always have the money to go out for gelato."
"It's fascinating to see how the flavors play off of each other," Theresa Anderson said. "It's really fun to experiment."firstname.lastname@example.com

ATLANTA -- Coca-Cola Co.'s second quarter net income was in line with year-earlier performance, helped by pricing increases in North America late last year.
Net income was $2.79 billion, or $1.21 a share, compared with $2.8 billion, or $1.20 a share, in the comparable 2011 period. Revenue in the quarter climbed 2.7% to $13.1 billion.
The world's largest soda maker saw worldwide volume grow 4% in the second quarter. Sparkling beverage volume grew 2%. Noncarbonated beverage volume climbed 9%. Ready-to-drink tea volume grew 13% in the quarter; bottled water volume rose 10%; and energy drinks volume climbed 21%.
Beverage volume in North America climbed 1%, led by higher sales of noncarbonated drinks like Powerade sports drinks and Gold Peak and Honest Tea iced teas. Those gains offset a 2% decline in carbonated soft drink volume, which the company attributed to last year's price increases.
In China, volume rose 7% while sales declined 4% in Europe.
Coca-Cola raised its prices last year to help offset higher costs for commodities such as sweeteners and plastic for bottles. Pricing rose 3% in the second quarter, with a 5% increase on soft drinks in North America.
On a positive note, Coca-Cola now expects commodity costs to increase by $300 million over last year -- about $50 million less than previously expected -- based on a prolonged decline prices for aluminum and plastic among other inputs.

Not sure if this is the best place for this but i have a question about my trailer. i just got a new 6x12 and it has the screws on the outside not rivets. If i was wanting to put a decal on would it be okay to remove a screw then put it back in the same hole once the decal is put on over its place? i dont want to mess anything up or have stuff come loose and i really dont want to drill any other holes in it for sure.
I was just wondering if anybody has done that before i thought about attempting it.

My neighbor Mel has a 63 Belair 2dr with a built 350 (roller rockers/lifters, high lift-short duration cam, stock "rams horn" exhaust manifolds, stock Rochester 4bbl) With a two speed auto transmission and granny gears in the rear(not sure of ratio). Radial tires.
On the hiway, he can get about 25-30, city 20mpg! EXCELLENT power when you need it, squaks the tires loudly if you womp it at a stand-still. On the hiway it revs at about 3500, and is right in the middle of the powerband at 70 mph.
I passed a car once on a country highway when he let me drive it earlier this summer. I had three cars ahead of me, but opposing lane was clear for miles, I got in that lane and floored it. It shot off like a rocket, and pretty soon i was doing 85-90 when i passed the third car. It still had more to go, it was still pulling!!
|Never heard a 502 RamJet barking out lake pipes, eh?
a manual trans connects the hotrodder to the hotrod. i gues thats what you connected with in those trucks.
the old 4 spd v8's 4bbl were a blast.
ford, didnt have too many i was ever in. a 65 mustang 289 4 spd toploader with 4.10 gears was nice. that was quick and wound out to a bunch of rpms, but you couldn't "drive it", but 40 mph around town. it was a race vehcile.
imo- FI cars dont have that "real" muscle car sound.
All the above choices are for vehicles I've barely seen, let alone driven. But, from experience with my trucks (former '93 C1500 3.73 posi geared 2wd ex-cab 4.3, 5 speed and my current '97 C1500 Silverado 3.73 posi 2wd ex-cab 3rd door 5.7, 4L60E 4 speed auto), I can safely say that the V6 and stick was much more fun and useful than the V8 and automatic. The only thing that my '97 is good for is the occasional roasting of the hides. Nothing more.
In a while, Chet.
|Anyone seen Skippy? Here boy.
what old combo's really worked well together?
not neccarily factory combo's/ my first example is the "cop 360" ( but in a 4dr dart) 9:1 308 heads(1.88/160 valves), LD340 factory intake, tuned holley 600 carb, 6.123" long rods, 275hp factory mopar cam .430/.444" lift , factory adjustable shaft rockers system, add a 4 speed with a lightened flywheel. with a 4 dr dart and 3.23 gears. it booked, and laid rubber everywhere. even with 6 people in the car. that factory purple shaft cam and 9:1 compression sounds classic muscle car through a pair of 2 1/4" walker mufflers. factory vacuum advanced HEI for ignition got 18 mgp's
the nova had a chevy 350", had the complete performer package .420/.440" cam , performer 750 carb/intake, hooker headers, with a 4 speed and 3.08 gears. mild ported/matched camel hump heads(1.95/1.50) set up for a performer cam around 9:1 compression. GM HEI with vacuum advance. 2 2 1/2" dynomax mufflers sounded classic as a drive in. that grocery getter could downshift to passing gear with a ton of wheel spin! got 15-16 mpg'
doesnt count but---
85-93 mustang 5.0 5 spd. my 89 302" 5.0GT example had the stock roller roller cam , FI with heads matched for it, performance air cleaner 3.08(3.42) gearing. flowmaster craze hit so i had 2 1/2 " 50's on it. sounded tuff. car drove like perfection. FI was well engineered, grabbing 2nd gear. then making it to 5th gear was really hauling. it was a new expirience. got 18 mpg's with OD.
what other vehicles do feel drive like perfection? in all speeds and conditions.

...this has been a passion of mine for well over 15 years but without the skills or the funds it was always just a dream. Well with Celebration V right around the corner and a little push from my nephew I decided to revisit this dream (funds also help ). TDH and all of the members I have spoken with have been great. There's some serious skill out there and I'm amazed every time I log in. By the time I'm done I'm gonna have to make up a business card to hand out that reads -
ESB Boba Fett brought to you by:
Helmet (fully painted and weathered) - Bobamaker
Ammo Belt - BBF
Wookie Braids and Cape - Woodman
Girth belt - dsonik1
Of course this list will be growing very soon with the help of TDH. Thanks again to all, you've been a great help.
On a side note if any of you plan on attending Celebration V and are looking for accomodations drop me a line and I'll see what I can do. I'm the Director of Rooms at a major 4-diamond hotel on Disney property (not owned by Disney) aprox 10 miles from the Orange County Convention center.

Hey kids,
I picked up this bucket a couple of months ago fully painted, unfortunately I wasn't happy with the paint job (Ms did not paint this) so I started the laborious task of sanding and repainting. I've hit more than my fair share snags (stupid masking fluid) but I think it's coming along well. Here is what the helmet looked like originally.
Now here is what I have painted so far
And just for kicks here is my costume so far.
I have no idea when I'll have the chance to finish this (I have a ton of writing to do) so I would appreciate any pointers or kind words.

Evolution Hoax
The 22 June, 2007, issue of Tribune de Genève, a daily published in the Swiss canton of Geneva, carried an article about the Atlas of Creation. The report stated that in addition to France and Belgium, Atlas of Creation had also been disseminated in Switzerland. The arrival in Europe of Atlas of Creation was described as an "anti-Darwin movement" in the report, which went on to say:
The counter-attack that criticized the theory of evolution has now landed in the Old World... The Council of Europe report says that schools are particular targets in the spread of the belief that the world and man were created by God... Let us make this clear, nothing could be more alarming than this; although the theory of evolution would appear to have put down deep roots in European culture... The result of a study carried out last year by Science magazine revealed that evolution is by no means in an unshakeable position in our continent.
The clear presentation in the Atlas of Creation of evidence that demolishes the theory of evolution and the growth of Creationist belief in Europe have been met by enormous panic. However, it is clear that the evidence of the existence of Allah cannot be concealed by any lie or superstitious belief. The reason behind this panic is that evolutionist fraud that has deceived people under the guise of science has now been brought out into the daylight in this giant work by Harun Yahya.

Next year, Louisville and Duke will become Atlantic Coast Conference rivals.
For now, however, the Cardinals and Blue Devils will battle for supremacy in the NCAA Tournament's Midwest Regional.
Louisville was given the region's No. 1 seed on Selection Sunday. Duke, perhaps surprisingly, was seeded second in a bracket that also includes Big Ten power Michigan State, Pac-12 tournament champion Oregon and coach Rick Majerus' final team at Saint Louis.
The Midwest also has a local flavor, with Colorado State of Mountain West Conference gaining the No. 8 seed and Saint Mary's of the WCC getting a berth in a Tuesday night play-in game against Middle Tennessee.
If any team other than Louisville or Duke advances to the Final Four, however, it will be an upset.
The Cardinals come off a 78-61 victory over Syracuse in the Big East Tournament championship game, while Duke hopes to rebound after losing to Maryland in the ACC semifinals. The defeat likely cost the Blue Devils a No. 1 seed, perhaps the one given to Gonzaga.
Against Syracuse, Louisville trailed by 16 with 15:50 remaining. But the Cardinals' defense, which will key its chances in the NCAA Tournament, turned the game around.
Louisville outscored Syracuse 27-3 over a devastating eight-minute span to win the Big East and earn the No. 1 overall seed in the Big Dance.
"Our press is pretty much like controlled chaos," said Louisville's Peyton Siva, the tournament MVP. "We're going to press. We're just going to run and trap, run and trap. ... For a minute there, we were running around the court with our head cut off and got a couple of steals."
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim agreed, calling the Cardinals "the best pressing team that I've seen this year."
If the regional seeding stands, No. 1 Louisville and No. 2 Duke will eventually meet in the Midwest finals.
The Blue Devils are led by one of the top power forwards in the country: Senior Mason Plumlee averages 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds.
No. 1 Louisville vs. No. 16 North Carolina A&T/Liberty
Records • Louisville 29-5; North Carolina A&T 19-16; Liberty 15-20.
Conferences • Louisville, Big East; North Carolina A&T, Mid-Eastern Athletic; Liberty, Big South.
Outlook • The Cardinals' last loss was a five-overtime classic against Notre Dame. The North Carolina A&T-Liberty winner will be overmatched against a team that can struggle on offense but feeds off a suffocating defense. Louisville is led by Russ Smith, who averages 18.1 points per game.
No. 2 Duke vs. No. 15 Albany
Records • Duke 27-5; Albany 24-10.
Conferences • Duke, Atlantic Coast; Albany, America East
Outlook • Duke boosters are unhappy over the No. 2 seed, considering the Blue Devils beat Louisville in November (76-71). Duke also defeated Ohio State and did not lose to a non-ACC opponent. Albany qualified by upsetting Vermont in the conference tournament finals.
No. 3 Michigan State vs. No. 14 Valparaiso
Records • Michigan State 25-8; Valparaiso 26-7.
Conferences • Michigan State, Big Ten; Valparaiso, Horizon League
Outlook • Michigan State makes its 16th straight tournament appearance the third-longest in the country. But the Spartans went 3-4 down the stretch. Valparaiso could be dangerous after defeating Wright State 62-54 in the Horizon League final.
No. 4 Saint Louis vs. No. 13 New Mexico State
Records • Saint Louis, 26-8; New Mexico State, 24-10
Conferences • Saint Louis, Atlantic 10; New Mexico State, Western Athletic
Outlook • The Billikens will be heavily favored, but New Mexico State won the WAC tournament as the No. 3 seed. The Aggies were led by 7-foot-5, 330-pound center Sim Bhullar with 16 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks in a victory over Texas-Arlington.
No. 5 Oklahoma State vs. No. 12 Oregon
Records • Oklahoma State 24-8; Oregon 26-8.
Conferences • Oklahoma State, Big 12; Oregon, Pac-12
Outlook • The Ducks will have a chip on their shoulder. Despite winning the Pac-12 tournament, they were seeded 12th. Oregon beat UNLV and Vanderbilt, but an otherwise soft nonconference schedule obviously caught the attention of the selection committee, as did back-to-back losses at Colorado and Utah to end the regular season.
No. 6 Memphis vs. No. 11 Middle Tennessee/Saint Mary's
Records • Memphis 30-4; Middle Tennessee 28-5; Saint Mary's 27-6.
Conferences • Memphis, Conference USA; Middle Tennessee, Sun Belt; Saint Mary's, West Coast
Outlook • Memphis is Conference USA's only representative in the tournament. The Tigers were rewarded with a No. 6 seed, but the winner of the Saint Mary's-Middle Tennessee play-in game won't be a pushover. The Gaels, who lost to Gonzaga three times and defeated BYU twice, are led by guard Matthew Dellavedova.
No. 7 Creighton vs. No. 10 Cincinnati
Records • Creighton 27-7; Cincinnati 22-11
Conferences • Creighton, Missouri Valley; Cincinnati, Big East
Outlook • This is one of those mid-major-versus-power conference matchups that makes the first round of the tournament so interesting. The Bluejays are one of the nation's best offensive teams. They rank 24th in scoring (75.4 ppg) and are first in field-goal percentage (.508). The Bearcats have lost eight of their last 12 games.
No. 8 Colorado State vs. No. 9 Missouri
Records • Colorado State 25-8; Missouri 23-10
Conferences • Colorado State, Mountain West; Missouri, SEC
Outlook • One of five MWC teams to reach the tournament, Colorado State starts five seniors. The Rams could be difficult for up-and-down Missouri, coached by Larry Eustachy, a former assistant at the University of Utah and ex-head coach at Utah State.
Top player
He's only a freshman, but Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart was named the Big 12's Player of the Year. He averages 15.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists and could be the No. 1 player taken in the NBA Draft.
Top team
The No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, Louisville is 13-1 since a three-game losing streak in mid-January. The Cardinals won three games in the Big East Tournament by an average of 16 points.
St. Louis is playing for coach Rick Majerus, who died on Dec. 1. The Billikens own a victory over New Mexico and have beaten Butler three times this season. They have won 15 of their last 16 games.
Player you don't know
Creighton's Doug McDermott averages 23.1 points and 7.2 rebounds. The 6-foot-8 forward plays best in the biggest games, like a 34-point, nine-rebound performance against rival Wichita State.
Best time for a fast break
The Blue Devils probably lost a No. 1 seed when they stumbled in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament. The loss was bad news for Albany, which will have a tough time with this matchup.

Any regular 15 round mag from the fullsize will fit the compact. Just don't slam it in if the slide is open because it could hit the ejector hard and break it.
There are some mag sleeves U can use to put over the longer mags to make them fit the compact better. I bought 1 from Germany recently. They are on Ebay. If U look, there is 1 or 2 threads on these sleeves here in the Walther section. I think I took a pic and posted it.

Waivers of Removal for Legal Residents
Authored By: St. Mary's University School of Law, Center for Legal and Social Justice (Immigration and Human Rights Program)
Overview of Relief for Legal Residents in Removal Proceedings
The law provides avenues for some legal residents who are in removal proceedings based on crimes to apply for discretionary relief to remain in the United States. A long-standing provision in §212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) remains available although the statute was repealed in 1996. A form of relief which replaced §212(c), cancellation of removal, also permits certain legal residents to petition the immigration court to remain in the U.S.
Requirements to apply for §212(c)
INA §212(c) provided a waiver to individuals who lawfully were admitted to the U.S. and who accumulated at least seven years of legal residence. The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that §212(c) remains viable for legal residents who would have been eligible for the relief when they pled guilty to offenses prior to the 1996 repeal of the statute. The application is considered by an Immigration Judge (IJ) in an adversarial proceeding in which the government is represented by an attorney. The IJ determines whether the applicant is eligible and whether s/he merits a favorable grant.
Process to apply for §212(c)
- The application, form I-191, is filed with the Immigration Court.
- The application must include documentation which demonstrates that the applicant is eligible to apply and that he or she merits a favorable decision. At a minimum the applicant should include evidence of residence in the U.S., family ties to U.S. citizens and legal residents, employment and tax history, and complete criminal history. Evidence that the applicant has rehabilitated and accepts responsibility for his or her offenses will significantly assist the applicant in gaining relief.
Requirement to apply for Cancellation of Removal for Legal Residents
Cancellation of removal is available to individuals who have been lawfully were admitted to the U.S. for at least five years, who have resided in the U.S. continuously for at least seven years, and who have not been convicted of an aggravated felony (which are defined in the statute at INA §101(a)(43)). As with applications filed under §212(c), cancellation of removal relief is heard before an IJ in an adversarial hearing with the government represented by an attorney, and the IJ determines whether the applicant is eligible and merits the favorable exercise of discretion.
Process to apply for Cancellation of Removal
- The application, form EOIR-42A, is filed with the Immigration Court.
- Documentation demonstrating the applicant is eligible and merits a favorable exercise of discretion must support the application. See, above description as discussed with §212(c).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|St Anna
Well, you need your stuff, its obviously 'you'. As everyone said - I guess you have to monitor it.
I have a parkwood by cort and if you use it, the strings dont rust too quickly. You said you change them anyway.
I of course need to anchor miles away from anyone as the noise that I attempt to produce would induce fruit to fly !
So my 2c - go for it.
|Funny, because I was just going to ask this question. I will most likely just find a cheap pawnshop guitar to take with me
I would say that at the very least you need a humidity guage that lives in the case with the guitar and NEVER let the guitars sit around out of the case. It's not the conditions that affect the wood as much as the rapid change in conditions and that is what a good case does, it lessens the rapidity of the change in conditions. A guage will tell you whether you need a dessicant or a humidifier and the you can go from there. FWIW, when I lived aboard, my 1968 Gibson Southern Jumbo lived at my Dad's house, just not worth the risk. My Martins don't even know I own a boat. YMMV
|Before reading all these posts I would have said to never attempt to keep guitars that are not beaters on a boat. Been living on the water my whole life and I've lost a few guitars to the salt and water (though I've always kept the Gibson and Martin away from the water) . But considering the suggestions of dessicant, tape etc and the convenience factor of not having to keep an extra storage unit I'd say to go for it if this is your long term situation. However if you're only planning on living aboard for a short time I wouldn't do it. Put up with the inconvenience if its only temporary.
|GREETINGS EARTHLING, Syilica Gell in the gutair case and place in one of those big vacume bags for bedding if thats not big enoughf use two and some double-sided sticky tape to form a water tight seam Keep the music Live Go Safe
I have an ovation celebrity that stays with me (the reason i went that route is the plastic body). In any case, even in a freshwater environment it is a wee bit hard on the strings but that has been the only issue, but these do a great job:
Amazon.com: Ernie Ball Wonder Wipe String Cleaner 6-pack: Musical Instruments
as an aside presonus makes a pretty cool audio box that provides xlr and 1/4 ins then converts them to usb/lots of products bundled with their 'studio one' recording suite. its not logic or protools, but for laptop recording on the boat using stereo as monitor system its effective enough for my floating studio. no affiliations....
I'd rather not have to pay for storage and the thing is I often am coming home very late from gigs so to make and extra stop at 2:30AM when all I want to do is climb into bed is not going to happen. I' so lazy that I often leave my gear in my car overnight and deal with it the next morning. That will not be an option at the marina where I will be parking though.
My main guitar is a Strat, thus bolt on neck but the others are not. I will look into the issues regarding the neck joint. Set ups every 6months? You must haul your guitars around even more than I do. I take mine in about once a year.
|Is there any climate controlled storage nearby? If you're living aboard, you may find other uses for it as well.
|I'm a player too although I'm not a liveaboard. Having said that, the only guitars I would consider bringing on board would be the bolt in necks. Keeping my Les Paul's on the boat is not even a consideration due to the concern over neck movemt. As it is, living in the hard, I'm doing setups every 6 months. I'd hate to see what would happen in a uncontrolled environment. If I were u I'd start by experimenting with my least favorite and go from there.
Off boat storage is not really a viable option because I use them so often and at different places. The heat will not be excessive enough to damage them. The boat will be heated and, hopefully, will net get so cold as to crack the finish. If I leave the boat for any longer than a day during the winter I think I should drop my guitars at a band mates house. I may have to keep them in good cases with desiccants. Right now my main player is in a gig bag which makes it much easier to carry but provides much less protection.
Getting a road case for my amp is also a good idea. kd3pc, your kid has good guitars. My nicer acoustic is a Guild that I bought new back in 1981.

Mississippi State University wins EcoCAR competition
A look at the Hardware In the Loop stratagies employed by The Ohio State University EcoCAR Team:
From Green Right Now Reports
Students from Mississippi State University placed first in the 2010 EcoCAR: The NeXt Challenge finals in San Diego last week after designing and building a biodiesel extended-range electric vehicle. Virginia Tech finished with an ethanol-powered EREV design and Penn State came in third after building a biodiesel EREV vehicle.
Mississippi State beat 15 other universities to win the Year Two Finals of the three-year competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and General Motors. The competition challenges university engineering students from across North America to re-engineer a GM-donated vehicle to minimize the vehicle's fuel consumption and emissions, while maintaining its utility, safety and performance.
During the second year of the EcoCAR competition, the teams utilized cutting-edge automotive engineering processes to move their designs into the physical vehicles. Once the vehicles were built and rolled out, they went through a series of safety and technical tests at GM's Desert Proving Grounds in Yuma, Ariz., similar to those conducted on production vehicles. Each of the cars was evaluated based on the ability to decrease fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and maintain consumer acceptability in the areas of performance, utility and safety.
The Mississippi State EcoCAR team chose to design an EREV hybrid with a 21.3 kWh A123Systems battery pack, which provides an electric range of 60 miles. It's also equipped with a 1.3 L GM turbodiesel engine and 75 kW UQM generator in a series plug-in configuration. During testing, the vehicle's fuel economy stood out, achieving 118 miles per gallon gas equivalent (combined city/highway cycle). In addition to the overall winner's award, Mississippi State won nine additional awards, including performance events in auto-cross and acceleration.
"This was our most challenging year and stakes were high to have our vehicle ready for inspections. To finish a year of hard work and long hours in first place is an incredible honor for me and my teammates," Matt Doude of Mississippi State said in a statement. "We look forward to the next chapter of the competition – with so much talent among the schools it will not be an easy road to another victory. But it's this rigorous, hands-on process that gives us the valuable experience we'll need in the workplace."
The Virginia Tech EcoCAR team designed an EREV vehicle with a 40 mile electric range. Penn State's EcoCAR vehicle is also an EREV design, which includes a 12.8 kWh battery pack coupled with a GM 110 kW Electric Traction Motor and 75 kW UQM generator. It includes a 4-cylinder 1.3 L biodiesel engine and achieved more than double the fuel economy of the baseline vehicle, or 57 miles per gallon gas equivalent.
Here is a list of schools participating in the competition:
- Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
- Georgia Tech
- Michigan Technological University
- Mississippi State University
- Missouri Univ. of Science and Technology
- North Carolina State University
- The Ohio State University
- University of Ontario Institute of Technology
- Pennsylvania State University
- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
- Texas Tech University
- University of Victoria
- University of Waterloo
- University of Wisconsin

Went for a look, too dark to take any photos. Should be a nice easy trap out though, entrance is just above ground level so I can just sit the trap hive on the ground. I'm going back on Saturday week to to set the trap. Wish me luck :-D
Paul, I don't know what your winter is like, but isn't it a bit late to start a new hive? You might want to consider using a weaker, existing hive for the trap rather than starting a new one.

Good for my acne prone, aging skin!

Having had acne for over 40 years, I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun, prescription and OTC, and this is one of the best creams I have ever used. It absorbs easily and my face feels soft and looks smoother after application. I like this cream mostly for its' nots, i.e. it does not make me break out, it does not leave an oily residue, it does not contain harmful ingredients, particularly parabens and pthalates, and it does not cost an arm and a leg! A little goes a long way. WGP Beta Glucan, which is derived from the walls of yeast cells, was used in clinical trials (orally) with some very impressive results. It has been shown to aid a particular chemotherapy drug ) causing cancer cells to die) as well as provide radiation protection in mice. (The mice were given lethal doses of radiation and the ones that received the BG survived. Believe it or not, humans and mice are very similar genetically.) Anyway, you can tell I'm a big fan of this product! :) I only hope the manufacturer will someday add a version with sunscreen so it can be used in the morning as well as at night.
Good Soothing Cream
Posted by Reviewer2455090 on Jun 23, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I have tried many things and I don't tend to write many reviews, but this cream was worth a review. This cream is very soothing and healing. If I have any skin irritations (like minor dermatitis), I just put some of this on it and the skin looks and feels better quickly. Also, since I use micro retin A and glycolic products, this cream does a good job keeping my face moisturized. I have combo skin, if you have very dry skin, this might not be heavy enough for you. I'm going to reorder as it is a good price for an effective cream.
Best face cream

Great product to use at night

I have oily skin so this product I use at night before bed. I truly feel it has some benefits and my wrinkles are less noticeable. I even use it on my lips and they are very soft in the morning when I wake up.
Don't like the smell
Posted by Reviewer3236180 on May 11, 2011 | Verified Purchase
It smells like a type of household cleaner, and I don't think it keeps my face moisturized. I find it not very easy to apply; if a little too much,it becomes solid and rolls out on your fingers.
Posted by Reviewer2873215 on Apr 23, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I have tried so MANY products over the years and have to say this one is among the best. It goes on smooth and continues to keep your face feeling smooth all day. I also feel a little tightness after a while, so really, another plus. I intend to keep puchasing this item at what I feel is a decent price.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just a follow-thru to close this out (I hope). I could get all the AN fittings and high-pressure hose to make a new line from Speedway for about $50 or their already made-up kit for $92. Nobody within a 40 mile radius would make me up one with the exception of one guy who would IF I brought him the proper ends. $30 PLUS the cost of a new hose to rob the end off of, so still around $50.
I talked to Gil at Borgeson (http://www.borgeson.com/catalog.html#) who said if I had the rack that mounted on 15 1/5" centers it was the newer rack which took the metric fittings, 14 mm O-ring pressure side. My old rack was an 'old' rack (mounted on 16" centers) which took the 5/16 male O-ring.
For $75 I ordered his hose kit which should be here by Thursday (depending of course, on how many blizzards hit between here and Connecticut in the mean time).
Thanks to all who responded.
Sounds like a FORD rack one of the parts places should be able to use the numbers and tell you what it is .A lot of the after market people use 74-78 racks BUT they are getting harder to find so they use 79 up and the holes are different I can't remember what the hole size is . It seems like mine (a 80) has a either 5/8 or 3/4 I do know the man at PURECHOISE though I was full of it until I SENT him a line I pulled from a bone yard that fit then he made me a set of ends so I could make up some lines.
Just remember a good hose place will know what size they are IF you tell them what year rack and year and make of PUMP.
good luck OLDROD
|Also, Centerline, I forgot to add: indeed the old rack IS half steel/half aluminum. The new rack is all aluminum.
Cape Cod Bob and Centerline, thanks for responding. I was trying to avoid buying the already madeup sets. BTW, Borgeson has the best price I've found ($75) on these sets. Also, Centerline, I found the reference and link to Borgeson on one of your earlier (like 2004!) threads on how to hook up a GM pump to a mustang rack, so, again Thanks. (Back then the price on these hose sets was like $56. )
After my post yesterday I crawled under the car and found that it is a ford rack with the number D8BC-3550-AA. Any idea what that translates to?
It does appear that Speedway has the fittings, adapters and high-pressure hose I would need to build a hose. (they have an AN adapter to fit a 14mm o-ring opening, which I'm beginning to believe is what I have on the new rack).
There were two different racks used in the stock application. One was made by Ford and the other was a TRW rack. They had different size fittings and my guess is that you're new rack (if your original was a Ford) is a TRW. Tje way to tell which you have is easy. The ford unit is all aluminum. The TRW unit is 2 pieces, steel on the passenger side and aluminum on the drivers side. All you need is a magnet to tell.
There are some aftermarket manufacturers who make specialty hoses that will fit these once you know which one you have.
Good luck.

Not sure about the diff in size.10th.
However I recently change my MII rack with a rebuilt MII from NAPA and got ready made hoses from speedway. The pump I had was like yours and the hoes pressrure was for a female pump fitting. I happened to have a newer pump and switched the pressure fittings. to use the hose they sent. They have a bunch of fittings. You need to find out exactly the fitting tyoe and size on your rack.
ahttp://www.speedwaymotors.com/Mustang-II-GM-Pump-Power-Steering-Hose-Kits,7270.html female pump fitting
"Mustang II" power steering hose fitting sizes
I have a '48 Chevy coupe that the original owner installed a Mustang II crossmember and rack in. It is FoMoCo and worn out and nasty enough to truly be a Mustang II. It mounts on 16" centers.
Recently at the Turkey Run in Daytona I bought a reman rack from one of the street rod parts vendors. I already knew that what is called a Mustang II in street rodding is not really apparently a Mustang II so I knew enough to buy the offset bushings at the same time from the vendor. I wasn't prepared for the taller pinion (which I can work around by shortening my steering shaft).
The difference in the pressureside fitting into the rack is frustrating me right now.
I'm running the older style GM pump with a 3/8 inverted flare out. My old hose fit the pump and had a Ford fitting (5/16 tubing with a male 5/16 o-ring flare (1/2X20) for the rack. Naturally the new rack is different. The pressure side fitting is slightly larger.
I been reading previous threads on HotRodders and have seen a reference to 9/16X18 being the size I need (which would be a swivel o-ring type which used 5/16 tubing). But I also found the Borgeson link on another thread and, when I talked to them, they said the fitting would be metric, 14 mm o-ring, which is what comes on their hose kit for hooking GM pumps to so-called Mustang II. 14mm and 9/16 are within a few thousanths of each other (11.5 thousanths or 1.15 hundredths).
I'm wanting to get a hose made locally (which is a 60 mile round trip for me since the local NAPA does not do power steering hoses) but want to be able to tell them what size fitting to use, of course. And, of course, the rack is already bolted in the car.
Does anyone know what fitting is on these non-original racks or does it matter whether its a 9/16 or a 14 mm?
Sorry for the long post.

Apple chief Tim Cook has called the Microsoft Surface 'a fairly compromised, confusing product."
The comments (as reported by AllThingsD) came during Apple's Q4 2012 results conference call, when Cook was asked for his opinion of the new Microsoft Surface tablet. The device will be a direct rival to Apple's own recently announced iPad 4.
Cook responded that he hadn't had a chance to use one yet, "but what we're reading about is that it's a fairly compromised confusing product," he said. He added that "I think one of the things you do with a product is make hard trade-offs. The user experience on the iPad is absolutely incredible."
All of which implies that he feels the Microsoft Surface isn't a focused device and thus doesn't boast a particularly good user experience.
"You could design a car that flies and floats, but I don't think it would do either of those things very well," Cook continued. "People will look at the iPad and at competitive offerings, and I think they'll conclude the iPad is the better choice."
Cook's comments refer to the Microsoft Surface's limited version of the Windows 8 OS, as well as its clip-on keyboard peripheral. This has led to criticism in some quarter that it's neither a completely usable tablet nor a fully functional laptop.
