Trip to the hardware store
got new grips for my 1911 but a few of the screw heads seem to be stripped out. Any suggestions?? HG
After I posted this it may sound like I was being a smart mouth but I meant it to be saying it would be my 1st choice if I didnt have any in a junk drawer.Also can try a local Graingers or Fastenal store.If they dont have it they can probably get it for you.
I'm thinking you have allen heads since they strip the easiest.If you have any torx bits,sometimes you can drive one in to grab if it isn't overtightened.It would be the T20 or T25,I can't recall which.If that won't work get a left hand drillbit.Just don't beat on the frame without a magwell filler,you can bend them,a couple good taps will usually set the bit in good.
Yea got a few allen heads that wont come out. Ok on the torx bits. Will try it and let ya know. Tnx. Hg
One of the pleasures of owning a real 1911 is the puzzle that is a detail strip.
Of done correctly, the gun supplies you with all of the tools you need to do the job.
One of these "tools" is the sear/disconnector/grip-safety spring, which is the "screwdriver" with which you may remove the grip screws...if they are slotted screws.
If the grip screws have Allen or Phillips heads, you can't properly complete the puzzle the way Mr. Browning intended.
Screw-slot design has no real effect upon holding power. It's the threads which do that job.
So there's no penalty for using slotted-head grip screws.
Except in terms of the puzzle, that is.
Okay after deliberating some i got s metric set of allen wrenches. Walahhhh! Either they were metric or the metric ones fit the slightly rounded out heads enuff to get em out. But it worked!!!!! Im excited and my new punisher grips look baddd. Tnx for help. Hg

Parents: Read to Your Young Children!
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that pediatric providers advise parents of young children to read aloud and talk about pictures and words in age-appropriate books to their kids. The AAP says that these activities can help strengthen a child's language skills and literacy while promoting parent-child relationships.
Pediatricians have long encouraged reading to children, but the guidelines are the first official policy from the American Academy of Pediatrics telling doctors to talk to parents about daily reading to their children, from the first year of life until kindergarten.
Reading with young children "stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds language, literacy and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime," the AAP guidelines said.
Studies have shown a wide economic divide when it comes to parents reading to their children. Only one in three children living in poverty have parents that read to them consistently. Children who aren't read to often have "a significant learning disadvantage" by the time they get to school age, the AAP added.
Even wealthier families do not always make reading a ritual, with 60 percent of those with incomes 400 percent of the poverty threshold saying they read to their children from birth to age five, according to a 2011-2012 survey.
Some pediatricians worry that technology – from television to smartphones- may be taking the place of reading to little ones.
The AAP has previously said babies under age two should be as screen-free as possible, and that the best kind of learning takes place through unstructured, interactive play with humans and toys.
Even babies can benefit from being read stories, said the AAP. "We can stimulate greater brain development in these months and years," said Peter Riche, a fellow of the AAP and Chief of Pediatrics at Northern Westchester Hospital in New York.
"I do see earlier word recognition, earlier phrases and sentence formation, and singing—I always recognize that in those who are exposed to daily reading."
Many families do not have the money for books so the AAP said it "supports federal and state funding for children's books to be provided at pediatric health supervision visits for children at high risk."
Another important benefit of parents reading to their young children is the blooming of a child's self-confidence and independence.
Child development experts say that when parents read to their children not only do kids feel more secure but words and pictures also ignite creativity and imagination; two valuable components of a well-rounded life experience.

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is a graduate professional institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and is ecumenically minded, with more than 30 denominations represented in the student body. The Seminary prepares men and women for ministry through day and evening classes. PTS is well-known for its academic rigor and high standards for programs and courses. The Seminary's degree programs are accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Degree Programs
Master of Divinity (MDiv) Degree Program
The master of divinity (MDiv) degree is a professional program that prepares men and women for ministry. With a bachelor's degree as a prerequisite, the master of divinity program is designed to integrate theological studies and the practice of ministry. When followed on a full time basis, students normally complete the program in three years. In supervised field education experiences students practice ministry through direct involvement in congregations and other settings.
MDiv Concentrations
MDiv Joint Degree Programs
In addition to enrolling in the Seminary's degree programs, students have the option to cross-register with several institutions in the Pittsburgh area, including Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, the University of Pittsburgh, and others, thereby expanding their educational opportunities at a great value.
- Master of Divinity / Master of Social Work (MDiv/MSW) Joint Degree Program with the University of Pittsburgh
- Master of Divinity / Juris Doctor (MDiv/JD) Joint Degree Program with Duquesne University
- Master of Divinity / Master of Science in Public Policy and Management (MDiv/MSPPM) Joint Degree Program with Carnegie Mellon University
Master of Arts (M.A.) Degree Program
This program is designed for those who wish to engage seriously in theological studies at the graduate level. Students normally complete this degree program in two years of full-time academic work and conclude with either an integrative essay or a thesis option. The M.A. allows students to focus on a particular area of emphasis that can be drawn from any core areas of study or the areas of special disciplines.
Master of Arts in Theology and Ministry (MATM) Degree Program
The master of arts in theology and ministry (MATM) degree is a program designed for those who wish to develop a deeper theological and spiritual foundation and a broader cultural understanding for ministry in churches, nonprofit organizations, and other vocational settings. The course of study provides a comprehensive introduction to the traditional disciplines and a selection of concentrations in particular areas of practice while seeking at every point to integrate the two.
MATM Concentrations
Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MATS) Degree Program
The Master of Arts in Theological Studies program is designed for students who intend to specialize in a particular theological discipline or pursue a specialized cross-disciplinary project in the area of theology/religion. This program will enhance the student's leadership role in both the Church and society and also provides a foundation for a Ph.D. Alongside those who are called to work pastorally, Christian leadership includes those with deep knowledge of Scripture and the Christian tradition who have the ability to communicate and apply what they know in an academic or Church environment as well as the public square.
Evening Program
The evening program at PTS provides the flexibility to allow you to start your seminary education while continuing your full-time job, family, church, and social activities. Both the MDiv and M.A. degrees can be obtained through the evening program.
Master of Theology (Th.M.) Degree Program
This program is designed to provide continued academic work beyond the master of divinity (MDiv) degree. The Th.M. has a twofold purpose:
- To provide a fuller mastery of one area of theological study, and
- To increase research proficiency and the ability to formulate questions for intellectual exploration.
Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) Degree Program
Ministry requires competency and compassion, care of self, and care of others. The Doctor of ministry degree is designed to hold these necessary tensions while providing opportunities for disciplined study, support, and renewal. It is an ideal program for pastors and those in specialized ministry. Students complete the program in cohort groups.

The potential for climate change due to increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere is quite high and transport through ports and port operations are contributors. Additionally, stricter air quality standards and concern for nearby residents prompt port authorities to take stricter measures to improve air quality in their ports.
The world's key ports have committed themselves to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) while continuing their role as transportation and economic centres. This commitment is called the World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI). They do this through influencing the sustainability of supply chains, taking into account local circumstances and varying port management structures. They also cooperate with ships in support of measures to reduce emissions to air from ships.
One of the projects within WPCI is the development of an Environmental Ship Index (ESI). The Environmental Ship Index (ESI) identifies seagoing ships that perform better in reducing air emissions than required by the current emission standards of the International Maritime Organization, the Environmental Ship Index. The ESI evaluates the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOX), sulphur oxide (SOX) that is released by a ship and includes a reporting scheme on the greenhouse gas emission of the ship. The ESI is a good indication of the environmental performance of ocean going vessels and will assist in identifying cleaner ships in a general way.
The index is intended to be used by ports to reward ships when they participate in the ESI and will promote clean ships, but can also be used by shippers and ship owners as their own promotional instrument. It should be noted that while ESI will provide a total score, the rewards can either be based on that total or on each of its constituent parts separately. The program is completely voluntary and WPCI hopes that the global port community will assume its role in improving the maritime and port environment. Finally all stakeholders in maritime transport can use the ESI as a means to improve their environmental performance and as an instrument to reach their sustainability goals (see figure).
With regard to the further development of the ESI, the following should be noted. The ESI is a flexible instrument that may be adapted having due regard of the principles underlying IMO's approach of the regulatory framework for the protection of the marine environment and also taking into account the priorities of ports in general with regard to the environmental performance of ships that ports wish to promote. This may mean that the weighing of the scores between the different constituents of the formula might change and that the evaluation of the performance can be adjusted to be more in line with experiences gained and technological developments. Additionally new constituents may be added and existing ones deleted; discussions with stakeholders that have an interest in ESI, form part of this process. Deletions will be made if a measure has proven to be effective and the behavioural change has become widespread. However to maintain the score predictability and the program stability, changes will be few and never take place more than once a year.

Green will be the new orange by 2017 at Keene Pumpkin Festival
Union Leader Correspondent | September 23. 2013 6:21PM
Event organizers Let it Shine is teaming up with The Green Up Girl, run by C.S. Wurzberger, and students from Keene State College, to begin a greening-up initiative to reduce waste, increase recycling, expand composting and become a zero waste event within the next five years.
Wurzberger runs her green event consulting business in Keene, focusing on everything from festivals to corporate events.
"Our goal is to reduce the waste at least by 35 percent by recycling everything," she said. "It's exciting to see all of the positive feedback we've been receiving."
Next year, composting leftover food will be tackled by putting out composting containers, she said.
While the tens of thousands of pumpkins at the festival have been composted or given to pig farmers as feed for years, uneaten food portions bought at the food court or brought into the festival by attendees have simply gone into the trash cans and ended up in a landfill, Wurzberger said.
"There are other zero waste festivals around the world and now thank goodness more are sprouting up around the U.S."

The College of Communication and Information (CCI) at Kent State University recently recognized several faculty and staff members for exceptional teaching, advising and service, based on nominations from their peers and their students.
"CCI has an amazing faculty and staff, but each year some special people stand out, even in this exceptional group," said CCI Dean Stan Wearden, Ph.D. "I'm happy to have the opportunity to recognize a select group of faculty and staff members each year for their dedication and their focus on student success. Theirs are jobs in which the rewards tend to be mostly intrinsic. People enter these careers because they are committed to helping others improve their lives. It's great to have an occasion to say thank you and congratulations to such devoted colleagues."
CCI recognized SLIS Professor Marcia Zeng, Ph.D., for her dedication to student success. As a tenured faculty member, Zeng received the Distinguished Teaching Award thanks to a nomination from one of her students, Connie Godsey-Bell.
"Many times I have sent [this professor] an email on weekends or late at night," Bell said. "She answers my email within minutes. It's amazing how accessible she is… She treats everyone with respect and gives everyone great direction."
Sophomore journalism student Robert Carroll also praised one of his teachers, earning JMC Associate Professor Gene Shelton the Outstanding Teaching Award. Shelton, a 1972 graduate of Kent State, taught Carroll's Introduction to Mass Communication class.
"[Shelton] is very hands-on and encourages students to come by during office hours after each test to get the correct answers and to help better prepare for the final exam," Carroll wrote in his nomination. "He also uses a variety of multimedia in the classroom to engage his learners in study."
The winner of the Distinguished Advising Award received praise from not one, but four students. Arriving at Kent State in 2011, this Communication Studies professor believes that meaningful service should embrace others to better the world and was recognized for providing such service.
"To state that the nominee is well-published, respected, and a distinguished scholar would be a vast understatement," one of his nominators wrote. "Despite that great level of recognition, the nominee is extremely approachable and humble, and models a democratic educational environment. (He) makes great efforts to be available and willing to work with students."
CCI congratulates COMM Professor George Cheney, Ph.D., for winning the Distinguished Advising Award for the 2012-2013 school year.
Finally, CCI Academic Program Director Marianne Warzinski was recognized by JMC Assistant Professor Danielle Coombs, Ph.D., for her mentorship of students in the CCI Commons.
"She often takes on the mentor role," Coombs wrote. "Students come to her with personal concerns as well as academic, and she listens and offers sage advice. Students view her as a respected and valued resource who has a real impact on their Kent State experience."
Warzinski won the Distinguished Service Award for her exceptional interaction with her students.

Descriptive essays are not the most commonly assigned essays at the college level, but since they are still assigned, you should know how to write one. This style of essay requires the writer to create a vivid description that engages the five senses. It might seem like descriptive essays are too easy to assign to college students, but with the need for specific details, it is an essay style that can stump even the best writers. When you are assigned this type of essay, it can be helpful to look at other descriptive essays so you can investigate topics to write about before you begin planning.
Descriptive essays are structured just like every other type of essay, in paragraphs with topic sentences and supporting details. In those paragraphs, you will need to craft a description that will let the reader clearly understand exactly what you are trying to convey. If your readers cannot see, hear, touch, taste, and smell the experience, person, object, emotion, or place in their minds, then your descriptive essay will be considered a failure.
In order to write a successfully detailed descriptive essays, you will want to choose from descriptive essay topics that you can craft into artistic pieces. Some topics that can inspire great writing include:
When you choose a topic for your descriptive essay, you will want only choose the ones that involve all five senses. For example, if you only write about a piece of art like a painting or sculpture, you will not be able to engage the sense of smell or taste. Descriptive essays that involve food tend to be successful because of the fact that food really does involve all of the senses, even sound!
Before you sit down to actually write, take time to brainstorm and plan the essay. With brainstorming, you should focus on the specific terminology that will add to the sensory details of your essay. If you are going to write about a birthday cake, you will not just write about frosting and cake. Why not write about the texture of the icing, if it is smooth or if you can actually taste the grains of sugar in the mix? You could write about the flavors of the fruit placed between the layers of the cake. Why not write about the glow that comes from number of candles designating the age of the celebrant? With specific details and a brainstormed list of vivid verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, your descriptive essay will get the job done the right way.
Once you have built a strong list of images, you can begin to formulate the outline for your essay. It does not matter what descriptive essay topics you have selected, having an outline will help you craft a concise essay with all of the details you need to fully engage your reader's imagination.
Your essay should be written with clearly focused paragraphs with topic sentences. The details should support the topic sentences and the main point of the essay, too. Your descriptive essay can tell a story while providing the vivid description that brings the event, image, or person to life.

Every six weeks or so in the Strand National Historic District, this city holds ArtWalk. Residents, tourists, art patrons, and people just looking for a good time gather on the steps of buildings dating to a 19th-century heyday. Back then, Galveston was the "Wall Street of the South" and the most populous city in Texas.
That prosperity shattered when this narrow barrier island suffered the worst natural disaster in American history: the storm flood of 1900, with a death toll of more than 6,000.
But ArtWalk gives the feeling that Galveston's residents have come to peace, perhaps not with the past but at least with the present. There's a camaraderie that allows visitors to drop in on an exhibit and strike up conversations as readily as if they lived here in this enclave of Victorian houses, up-and-coming restaurants, and gardens thick with oleanders.
"Galveston actually is a better place to live than to visit," says Austin communications executive Marsha Canright, who lived on the island for 10 years. During that time, she met her husband, David (who was helping restore the tall ship Elissa), and gave birth to their daughter, Lindsay.
"The town's diverse enough that it's common to know people of all ethnicities and nationalities, which makes life richer, I think," says Marsha. "It's a slower pace, and yet there's always plenty to do. There's a true sense of community in Galveston. People care about this place."
Although the 2000 census showed a slight dip in population, recent projects have brought a decided sense of upturn. Moody Gardens, a new entertainment complex and hotel, is geared toward conventions and family vacations at the island's growing western end.
Though community pride prevails, the town does have its problems. Like many cities its size, some schools are poor, and crime, drugs, and poverty riddle certain areas. Still, Galveston has a way of getting into the blood, generation after generation. Being "BOI"―born on the island―brings a badge of honor, especially among older residents. Even 16-year-old Amy Hunley feels loyalty to her hometown. Like many her age, Amy calls it "Galvatraz," but she says that if she moved away, "I wouldn't be gone long, because of the water. I'd miss it."
Sally Laney, formerly a physician's assistant, and her husband, Jim, a psychologist, moved to Galveston in the early 1990s. At first, they commuted to jobs in Houston, an hour's drive. But in 1997, they bought a 12,000-square-foot historic mansion and converted it into a bed-and-breakfast. The Mermaid & the Dolphin has done "leaps and bounds beyond what we expected," Sally says. "I'm a Yankee from Wisconsin, and I really love it here," she adds.
For Tom Curtis, director of research communications at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston is pleasantly full of contradictions, pride, character, and characters: "If Galveston didn't exist, Tennessee Williams would have had to invent it."

Kaufman v. Virginia Department of Social Services
Our Sponsors
Virginia resident Linda Kaufman, an ordained Episcopal minister, sought to adopt a second child from the foster care system in Washington, D.C. in 1999. But, the state of Virginia blocked her efforts by citing its sodomy law. Virginia's actions came despite Kaufman successfully raising a son adopted at age five from Washington in 1992, and despite the fact that a Virginia adoption agency and District of Columbia officials had determined she was a well-qualified parent. Lambda Legal filed a lawsuit in Virginia state court on Kaufman's behalf, joined by the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia. The two organizations argued that under Virginia law, applicants to adopt must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, in light of child's the best interests, rather than being categorically disqualified because of their sexual orientation. In 2002, Lambda Legal and the ACLU were victorious against an attempt by Virginia's attorney general to have the case dismissed, and later that year reached a key settlement that cleared the way for Kaufman to begin the adopting process. The settlement required a directive from the state's Department of Social Services stating that "there are no absolute barriers" to Virginia's consenting to interstate adoptions. Previously, Virginia officials had consistently refused to consider interstate applications from prospective parents who were gay or lesbian.
Many LGBT and people living with HIV would like to become parents but their rights vary widely among states, and discrimination and irrational stereotypes about sexual orientation, gender identity and HIV persist. Virginia officials tried to prevent Kaufman from adopting a second foster child even though the need for such parents in the Washington, D.C., area was dire.
Lambda Legal's Impact
With this case Lambda Legal won an important victory not only for Kaufman, but all potential adoptive LGBT parents in Virginia.
- 1999: Kaufman seeks to adopt a second foster child, but is barred from doing so by the state of Virginia because the state consistently refused to consent to interstate adoptions by lesbian or gay parents.
- December 2001 Lambda Legal files suit against the state of Virginia on Kaufman's behalf.
- August 2002 Victory! Lambda Legal wins an important settlement on behalf of Kaufman that allows interstate adoption applications by prospective parents who are lesbian or gay to go forward in Virginia.

Bell's Palsy Symptoms
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: Charles Patrick Davis, MD, PhD
Bell's palsy is a condition that affects the facial nerve, and therefore the function of the muscles, on one side of the face. The facial nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves and is given the designation of the 7th cranial nerve (CN VII). There is a facial nerve on each side of the face. This nerve can be considered to be the nerve that controls facial expression, so when its function is disrupted, the control of facial expression is impaired.
While a number of different conditions can cause damage to the facial nerve, including tumors, trauma, toxins, and neurologic diseases, true Bell's palsy is an idiopathic (meaning that the cause is unknown) paralysis of the facial nerve. It typically occurs on one side of the face and comes on suddenly, sometimes overnight. The diagnosis of Bell's palsy is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that this diagnosis is made when all the potential other causes of nerve damage have been ruled out. Most investigators believe that Bell's palsy results from...

I bought a 380 today wanted to see difference between my P-32 and the 380.
As all of the KT Ive bought oil it up and fired a way.
Used S&B ball I couldn't belive recoil about same as my PPK/S only nothing to hold onto. I was all over target.
I can keep about 4" group with the 32 this like shotgun at 7 yds,
I going to try and improve by painting F/ sight.and 13lb recoil spring I really at this time say I perfer the 32 quicker follow up and 1 more round . I fired 6 rounds of Win 95 gr HP like ball worked fine.
I will give pistol a chance and will shoot more. But with current heat wave not much fun outside.
Ive ordered a bunch of DPX to check out in my 380's will try some in KT also. As stands now My 2, P-32's win the match.

Setting: Daphne sits on Mobile Bay's eastern shore, between historic Spanish Fort and picturesque Fairhope. It's 15 minutes east of Mobile and two and a half hours east of New Orleans. With an average annual temperature of 65 degrees, the town boasts mild winters, colorful flora during spring and autumn, and long summers tempered by bay breezes.
Attractions: Daphne's climate is conducive to almost year-round boating, fishing, sailing, and golf. Newcomers enjoy the laid-back lifestyle; the well-tended parks; good public and private schools, including Bayside Academy and Christ the King; the springtime Fest Italiana's homemade pastas and sauces; and the annual fall Jubilee Festival, featuring artists and craftspeople.
Drawbacks: Hurricane season runs from June through November. Mosquitoes can be a problem during humid summers.
Housing Options: Homes on Daphne's small waterfront rarely appear on the market. Most development occurs inland. Houses in Olde Towne range from simple ranch houses to multistory contemporary structures. Lake Forest is the largest and oldest bedroom community of Mobile, but a multitude of newer neighborhoods have popped up.
What It Costs: The average sale price of homes in Daphne is $211,000. Waterfront property runs from $700,000 to more than $4 million. In Olde Towne, a small fixer-upper can cost $100,000, and large houses fetch in excess of $1 million. Houses in Lake Forest sell from $100,00 to $200,000-plus.
Your Next-door Neighbors: The town's population of 20,275 includes third-generation farmers, retired CEOs, lawyers, and restaurateurs. "Daphne is a nice melting pot of professions," says local Ceann Wachter, owner of the charming Frame Corner. "And you'd never know who was who."
Where You'd Spend Your Free Time: Fishing off May Day Park's pier, eating crab cakes at the East Shore Cafe or (on Fridays) seafood gumbo at Camellia Cafe, watching an English polo match, grabbing a beer at Judge Roy Bean's, taking a pottery class at Bay Rivers Art Guild.

Owner of the garage was a jerk - Need Advice please
I apologize for this lengthy story ahead of time, but I need to vent and I need advice - this being my first restoration, being a bit tarnished by an experience I had on Friday.
I wish I had more knowledge to be able to work on the mechanical parts of my car myself, but I'm a bit of a novice at this point. Instead, the owner of the garage that I'm paying to work on the car let's me come in the garage to watch and take pictures. I usually call and ask when he'll be working on the car, and lots of times it has got pushed off because things come up. I can tell he gets annoyed sometimes, but he cuts me deals here and there, so I try to be accommodating and understanding. I even gave him my brand new sandblasting cabinet as a 'tip' when I was done with it. He didn't thank me, but instead said to "leave it by the door' when I dropped it off. He had sold me a pancake air compressor a week earlier to use with my sandblaster (little did I know that wasn't enough pressure) so I called him and asked him why it wasn't working. He told me to bring it by and he's take a look at it. When I got there, he finished working on a car for about five minutes then shouted to everyone in the garage "I'm going to get a haircut. Be back in a little bit." 45 minutes later he comes back and takes two minutes with me and insists it's probably just too wide and long a hose and I'm losing air pressure over that. I find out soon enough that a 1/3 HP 3 gal comp. ain't going to cut it and borrow a bigger one from a friend. He gave me a low-ball estimate about a month ago on the rebuild cost for my engine, which sounded reasonable to me, so I went with it. The machine shop owner was ticked because he said the garage had no business throwing unrealistic numbers like that out. So, at this point I'm feeling like I'm being treated like a jerk a bit and my time is being disrespected, but the mechanic working on my car is a good guy, so I let it go...Then this past Friday happens.
Last week, I asked him to give me a certain day and he told me Friday morning. I took the day off work and showed up in the morning and was told to come back 3 hours later. (I live 20 minutes away) I came back and then the owner says "It's looking more like Monday, now." I was frustrated and said "I took the day off of work. This sucks." He said "Fine, I'll rush the other job out and get your car in." Then walked out to the garage and started working on it. I went around the building to the back bay and told him "Don't worry about it. Take your time. Monday is OK?" (I thought I was being very reasonable at this point) He doesn't thank me or apologize, instead tells me "Be here. 8 am sharp. I have other jobs I gotta do that day and it's starting to look crazy." I start walking back to my car, realize I left something in there, and when I get back to the open bay door, the owner has his back to me speaking to his son and I hear him say "Move this Mustang so we can get Joe's Piece of S__t car in here." His son looks at me mortified, the owner turns around, gets red in the face and says "I was just messing with you" and starts tinkering with the car. I stood there in shock and then replied "You didn't even know I was there." I was ticked. I went into the back room and grabbed all my parts and left.:evil:
I wanted to just have my car towed out of there at the moment, but didn't want to make any rash decisions on the spot nor speak when I'm mad - something I've learned over the years. I get a call from this guy an hour later telling me "You took your parts, but you forgot the biggest part - your car. If you don't want us to work on it, take it out of my driveway...You need to man-up and not throw a baby fit...This is the adult world and this is the way we talk in garages...you took what I said out of context, I call lots of cars pieces of s__t...I knew you were there. I'm not stupid. I knew you took it the wrong way when you made that comment and walked awayYou shouldn't have even been there to hear that because I let you go in areas other customers don't go and I've cut you deals here and there...you won't find another garage that will do that for you...I can take or leave this project so if we're not doing this then the car needs to go" I was appalled. I told him "It wasn't a baby fit. I'm putting a lot of money into this car at your encouragement and that means something to me, so to hear you say that...I was ticked and needed to walk away and cool off. I'd rather you just be honest and tell me you didn't know I was there and that you were frustrated. On the other hand, I had taken the day off work, lost money and was still understanding enough to tell you I'm cool with Monday." He denied meaning anything by it again and told me it did relieve pressure and to "Never ever take anything I say inside the garage while I'm running around to heart."
By the end of the call, he still never 'apologized' but I felt like maybe we could get this thing done and agreed to hold Monday's appointment. I'm just a little uncomfortable giving someone with that type of attitude my business. He's got a big ego because he does do good work and gets lots of business, but it bothers me he would disrespect myself with the call telling me to "man-up...not throw a baby fit" and my car with his comment. I still believe I caught him with his pants down and that he really felt that way and was just back-peddling on the phone. On the other hand, the mechanic actually doing THE WORK on my car is a really good guy - very knowledgable, loves my car and actually took my service manual home with him to read...he's also researched parts and parts rebuild places for me on his off hours, so I'd hate to lose him. The owner isn't really doing anything except taking my money and I've now lost respect for him.
So far, they have basically taken the engine out of the car (it's at a local machine shop right now) and Monday they are scheduled to drop out the gas tank and the power brake booster/master cylinder which I will take with me. Then the car will sit for two months until I have the engine back and they will reassemble it. What do I do here? Do I have them do the work on Monday then have it towed elsewhere or stick with this place since they're the ones that took it all apart. What to do? Thank you for any advice you can offer ahead of time...And sorry again for the lengthy novel of a post. :rolleyes::confused:
Joe (my first restoration)
Describe more the actual car and what needs to be done.
I don't need to hear any more, I wouldn't leave my car with that POS if the f-ing work was being done for free!
Sorry, but there is NO WAY I would give that jerk any of my money! And I have to tell you, in my personal experience the rude POS with the big ego usually ISN'T as good as you think and he is a legend in his own mind!
I am sorry, he is a pathetic excuse for a businessman and I would pull the car out of there and go somewhere else. You don't want a confrontation so I would talk like HE should be talking. That would be taking full responsibility for the situation. "I'm sorry, I don't want to get in your way so I am going to take my car". That sort of talk, you don't have to run in there all smoking and ticked off telling him GIVE ME MY CAR. Just go in there with a good attitude and tell him you don't want to "take advantage" of him.
So how about doing it yourself? You can rent the cherry picker, you can buy an engine stand for not a whole lot, or maybe rent it too. You can learn this stuff, it isn't that big of a deal with you have a forum like this to get advice on how to do it. I just installed the convertible top on my car never dreaming in a million years I could do such a thing, all with the help of this forum.
I pulled the motor in and out of two of my cars for the first time recently because my mechanic (my brother) moved out of the area a few years ago. I got a little last minute help with stuff and it all worked out fine. The machine shop can assemble the motor probably so you don't need to do that, think about doing it yourself. Yep, I'm sorry but there is NO WAY I would get that jerk any of my hard earned money.
Always been a do it yourselfer....learn from my mistakes kind of guy....My first engine job, I had no experience, was a 396 Chevelle that I bought and it blew 2 weeks later....Dad said.."Well, we better fix that"....and we did, in the basement. Took all winter, but got it done.
As for Mr Personality in that shop..........He has a lot to learn about business......Even joking to his employees shows them what a tool he is. They likely have no respect for him either
This is one of the reasons I have stayed 12 years where I am working, the owners treat the customer like I feel the customer should be treated. And that is with respect and understanding and they are ALWAYS right. They maybe "unreasonable" in that some little flaw is something I personally would live with on my daily driver, but they AREN'T wrong about it. The flaw EXISTS, so damn it correct the issue for them with a smile. I love turning around a customer who some other employee has ticked off (morons). It just happened the other day, there was a problem with a car and someone else said something that ticked him off, he was out there in the parking lot calling his insurance company (who sends us hundreds of thousands of dollars in business every year)! I went and expressed just what the owner of the company would do, I sucked it up and was humble and understanding and ate all the crow I could eat and told him we would take care of it, putting him back in a rental car at our expense and that was that, he left with a smile on his face, as your customers SHOULD! The customer PAYS MY HOUSE PAYMENT! He puts food on my families table, he deserves to have his butt kissed, not kicked!
No, honestly, there is no way I would give money to a guy treating me like crap, there is NO WAY.
you need to ''man up'' and realize this guy will only take your money and suck you dry.
pull your car out of there and learn to do it yourself, we all started someplace.
you will lose any money paid, he will hold you hostage over the motor work, but he hasn't paid the machine shop anything yet.
talk to the machine shop and see if he will work with you and if he can do most of the rebuild
having a shop restore a car can be a money pit, most of us here diy, that's why sites like hotrodders.com exist.
Anyone who changes prices a bunch, THAT is a huge red flag. A "Pro" can look at a car and KNOW what's coming to some extent. If I can't look at a car sitting there for restoration and give you a darn good idea of what I will come across while restoring it, I must not have done one in the past right? There are patterns you see when working on cars, very rarely are you caught off guard, unless you are 1. Lying to get the car in the door, or 2. Ignorant to what you will find because you have never been there before.
I wouldn't give that SOB one more dollar of my money! Anyone who talks that way, and then doesn't apologise when he's caught is a jerk! He didn't know you were there, and to call you at home and further insult your intelligience by reaffirming he did know is more baloney!
Get the car towed out, and take it home, then get some tools and start learning. Go to a few car places and get some reccommendations for people who can help you without giving attitude and disrespect.
Sounds like a good reason to start learning how to repair your own car. At the least you wont have the repairman calling you or your car names!
Thank you all for your advice and your support. It can be intimidating doing this on my own and it's nice to have support from experienced rodders such as yourselves. Him calling my car a POS was additionally insulting because I'd expressed hesitation at several points about restoring a 4-door and he was always supportive - telling me that it's only worth what people are willing to pay, but if it has sentimental value and I'm keeping it, then to do it for me. To hear him say that tells me what he really thinks. Then telling me to "man up" and that I "threw a baby fit" - I find it rather ironic since he didn't want to own what he said and never tried to resolve it on the spot, but instead turned around and started tinkering with the Mustang. He said he knew I was ticked when I told him "You didn't even know I was there" yet he never tried to resolve it. He was really tough on the phone, but he's lucky I walked away, b/c I would've laid into him, which in retrospect I should've done. Was just trying to keep cool and not make any hasty decisions. I guess if that makes me less of a man, then so-be-it. This is all too bad because at least the mechanic working on it was decent. The machine shop is seperate so I've been paying them directly. One of my pals says that it's normal for garages to put restorations off on the backburner to other customers' regular drivers and that I'm over-reacting to him constantly re-scheduling b/c things 'come up.'
I think MartinSr is right - that I should approach him with a good attitude and just tell him I'm going to get it out of his way. I have to find another garage to bring it to and I don't have any storage to put it yet. I don't want to give him any more of my money, especially a disrespectful ego-maniac like that who says they can "take this job or leave it" and obviously doesn't respect me or my time. I have an 8am appointment in the morning for them to pull out the gas tank and the power brake booster/master cylinder which should probably take an hour or two. Do I have them do that and pay them a few bucks so I can send the parts out for rebuild then have it towed or just call it all off and tow it right away? Thank you all for your wisdom. I can hopefully learn how to do this on my own if I get the space and someone willing to walk me through it.
Show up down there with a towtruck and a cop and get your car outta there man. What an arrogant POS.
I dealt with an A Hole like that once.Jim Queens transmission in bradenton florida. What a loser. He tried every trick in the book to hose me.
He had me so mad I wanted to hunt him down like a coyote.
You need to cut your losses my man, right NOW. If I were anywhere near I would come over and help you load your pony.
That guy is a real turd.
Yeah, I wouldn't let them touch the car, go there with a tow truck and take it. It's like a jerk I had once that I had to give the car back to him, I called the tow truck, paid for the tow, told them were it was going and after he left I THEN called the jerk to tell him it was on the way. That way there is no decisions, he can't talk you out of it, you made up your mind and you are taking the car. Call the machine shop they will have all the shops they do business with in a nice little row from good to bad in their head. They will tell you of the best place they have done business with. It's a shame you have no where to do it, pulling the tank and the master cyl is easy stuff.
Hopefully I can get there early and not get into a big confrontation. I'm all squared up with him on payments, so I hope he doesn't try and pull something. He also does most of the work for his local police dept. so the cops won't be on my side.
As I said before, I wouldn't give him one more dime. I'd call a tow truck early and arrange for him to meet me there when they open and haul it home.
This guy has put a sour taste in my mouth and I don't like him any longer, so I don't need to taint my restoration by continuing to do business with him. As a funny side note - I met him because he hired me through the local news station to shoot and edit his video commercial. I saw the quality he was doing and went with him for my own repairs. Have been giving him business for over a year. What a jerk...
His arrogance and belittlement of your person was what did it for me. I know how that feels. I wont tolerate it. I took tranny man to the state of florida dept. that was in charge of stuff like that. He called me a week later and gave me my money back.Then he short changed me the 107 bucks for sales tax. I called the state again, a week later the 107 check was at my door.
Opinions are OK, even if they are different, but when someone puts ya down like that.... well.... :boxing: :spank: :evil:
To quote the great and famous James Carville " I wouldnt urinate down his neck if his heart was on fire"
Go get your car, keep it a suprise, make a list of parts so you dont forget anything,and dont take no for an answer

Bemidji Township will not be allowed to leave the decade-old Joint Powers or Orderly Annexation Agreements, David Meyes, the court-appointed arbitrator ruled yesterday.
Bemidji Township had sued to leave the agreements in 2012, claiming that the City had broken the Annexation agreement. The Township and City had signed a Mediated Settlement earlier this summer that would have released the Township from the two agreements. But Northern Township, the other party in those agreements, voted against the deal.
Meyers ruled yesterday that all three parties must agree to any alterations to the agreements.
In an email, Bemidji City Manager John Chattin wrote, "Althrough there were a few minor points that the City will have to comply with, the core issue of whethere or not Bemidji Township could get out of the OAA and the JPA has been decided."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Compression remains the same. A better (but not perfect) definition is that there is an ideal combustion pressure to force the piston down. Iron heads retain the heat, so say this ideal is reached at 9.3:1 compression on my theoretical example. Any less and you loose power, any more and you detonate. The aluminum heads bleed much more heat out of the chamber, so another full point of compression is required to maintain the same amount of heat in the combustion process. So the process sees the same amount of heat with 9.3 iron heads and 10.3 in aluminum heads. Over simplified, but it gets us close to what is going on.
There are also limitations in stock cast iron heads that limit the amount of porting that can be accomplished. Since the aluminum heads are designed from the beginning as a performance head, there is more meat designed in around the port area so a better port can be designed, and better flow is the result. Aluminum heads save weight, and they weigh half of an iron head. Aluminum heads are cheaper and easier to produce than iron, and are also much easier to machine and port. Because of this more companies make aluminum heads - and that competition brings a better product to the market, and keeps the prices down for us.
yea i get what you are saying, ive changed most of the things i said in that first post already. But yea, i will probably end up with a 750 holley. But you are saying that i should be okay because i have a aluminum heads? ive heard that but never knew why, so since its taking heat away its essentially lowering the compression in the cylinder?
|You are very close with your static compression ratio estimate. I came out with 10.35:1 using your supplied info. Aluminum heads require an additional point of compression over iron heads because of their ability to suck heat out of the combustion chamber so you are completely safe. An 800 DP is way too much carburetor, and no reason for a double pumper on a street vehicle. Holley backs this up on their website recommendations stating that a double pumper needs a light vehicle, loose torque converter, and lower gears. It's not sexy, but a 750cfm carb with vacuum secondaries will be much more efficient on a 406. That translates to more power and much better gas mileage. I would also come down a notch on the cam choice. The 230/236 duration @ .050" is a little rowdy for a 406 in a heavy vehicle. You should also have a higher stall converter over stock, and vacuum for your power brakes will be marginal. While the cam would work, I'd just go somewhat smaller for a heavy vehicle.
|.. Round off any razor sharp edges in the combustion space to prevent detonation such as on pistons, valve seats, etc...
bringing this thread back because i have another question. I have settled on the skip white rotating assembly, i wanted internal balance but for the build this is going to be its not worth it to shell out the extra money. So this is the kit SBC Chevy Scat 406 Forged Rotating Assembly ft 30 4 155 Bore | eBay
As i was thinking about i think i will use a .039" head gasket and the piston will be about .010" in the hole, and typing that all in to a static compression calc, i got about 10.37:1 which as far as i know should run on 93 octane....
Lastly, for my dynamic balance i am trying to find a cam that will be mild and not cause any issues..
This is the one i have selected thus far: 12-246-3 - XTREME Energy
That cam gives me 8.34:1 dynamic compression...
I have aluminum heads, ive heard that plays into the picture...
Any suggestions? I dont wanna have any detonation problems, am i too close to the line? And will i be able to advance it or will i have to play with the timing to get rid of spark ping?
Edit: also if someone doesnt mind could they run my numbers through a compression calc and verify im doing it right? 4.155" bore, 3.75" stroke, 64cc heads, 14cc dished pistons, .010" deck clearance, .039" gasket (unsure of bore yet so estimate), 6" rods
.. A 650 CFM - 750 CFM carb. or even stock Q-Jet 4 bbl. carb. is plenty...
.. Stock oil pan and oil pump is fine at this performance level... maybe add a high pressure bypass spring to stock oil pump or use a high pressure oil pump... I would avoid the power-consuming high volume pumps as unneeded ... add a windage tray if it doesn't already have some kind of one inside the oil pan...
.. What's your tranny? If it's an automatic shifting at only 3800-4000 RPMs at WOT, then it'll need governor springs to bring that up to 6000 or so for the engine to make its new power... or manually shift it when wanting that power... If a manual tranny, of course it can still simply be shifted as desired...
.. Whether you need/desire a different stall RPM torque converter will depend a lot on your current rear end ratio... and driving habits... and final cam choice... and final compression ratio...
.. OK, at the performance level you're talking: "400HP" from a SBC 400 for a fun road truck, everybody is OVERTHINKING this!
.. The stock SBC 400 with stock heads and crank/rods with merely flat top or domed pistons and a $50 Summit #1105 224/234 cam/lifters/Z28 valve springs added (and 4bbl. carb./intake if not so equipped already) will make 400 HP or close to it...!! And do it by 5500 - 5750 RPMs... shift at 6,000 RPMs or so... with torque peak around 4000 RPMs... pulling really hard from 2000 - 2500 RPMs or so...
.. or another combo:
.. Stock block, crank, rods, your first pistons choice but for stock 5.565" rods, your first cam choice (biggish for a fun road truck, but usable), and your first heads choice -> 375 - 500 HP depending on the exact heads used (165cc - 220cc range intake ports)... still by 6000 RPMs...
.. The 2nd cam you picked was just too big for your goals... wouldn't pull hard till 4000+ RPMs... wants to make 500+ HP... not fun truck compatible... requires other engine parts made of expensive unobtanium...
.. 6" rods make more power above 6250+ RPMs... basically, out of your needed operating range...
.. I'd suggest doing something like one of the two budget combos above... just add an ounce or two of kerosene or other octane booster to a tank of gas if you just can't tune any/all spark knock out with ignition timing/advance curve and premium gas... or can only get 91 octane premium in your area... no 93 or 94...
.. KB, TRW, or Summit hypereutectic pistons would be plenty for this build... and KB especially usually come with good compression height... and all have good price... adjust them to the gram weight of your stock pistons/pins and avoid paying for an engine re-balance job at this performance level...
.. Here's an article about adding a cam of duration similar to your first choice 230/236 duration (only expensive roller lifter type) to a mostly stock block/rods/pistons/heads SBC 383" engine and what it did:
.. Edelbrock E-Street heads would be a good pair of American-made somewhat budget Aluminum heads... although on the smallish side for a SBC 400"...
|what is a better piston brand Mahle or SRP? Or are they fairly close. This would be for forged dished pistons with 6" rods
.. LOL! Nobody was considering building an engine with the piston 0.275" above deck... that was just somebody's math error...
.. With a longer rod, you use a piston with a shorter compression height... or, if budget allows, a custom piston with the perfect compression height if nothing proper close enough is available off the shelf...
The other way around the problem is to open up the quench area large enough that it also won't cause detonation problems. I can't remember whether it was pretty low around .080" or higher in the range of .120"? The tighter quench is definitely the way to go, but sometimes you don't get to have what you want. Basically, the big number was why we got away with milling out the old TRW forged pistons (years ago before the beautiful D-shaped dished pistons became available) to lower compression without going into ping city.
406 small block review
What I have read about DCR is you want to be in a range from 7.5 to 8.5. The engine makes the most power with a DCR of 8.2.
Edit: also would a dcr of 8.0 help at all, by using this cam: http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...x?csid=88&sb=2

By Rob Kelly
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain may be making waves in the Premier League right now but he is simply relishing the chance to learn from his team-mates.
The 18-year-old has earned a host of plaudits in recent weeks following some eye-catching displays, and he scored his first top-flight goals in the 7-1 defeat of Blackburn on Saturday.
While Oxlade-Chamberlain is delighted to be playing alongside the likes of Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry, he admits he still has much to learn at this juncture of his career.
"I'm one of the least experienced players in the squad so any player who gives me a comment always helps me, whether it is positive or constructive criticism," he said.
"I listen to everybody. People like Thierry and Robin who score goals and are attacking players like myself, you can always learn a lot from them. That's all I do, I listen and learn.
"I have belief in myself and in my own ability. I just know that I have to keep working hard and learn off the boys, and then hopefully the rest will come. At the moment it's going quite well for me so I'm just going to keep working hard."
A year ago Oxlade-Chamberlain was plying his trade with Southampton in League One, but now he is being tipped for a call up to the England squad for Euro 2012. So how has he handled the jump?
"It's been a tough challenge but I knew when I signed that I had to work hard and take little bits from everyone around me," he said.
"There's quality players at this club and a quality manager so you just have to learn from everyone. I've just tried to take it in my stride and keep developing my game.
"[In terms of Euro 2012] I am just focusing on Arsenal at the moment and I'm also in the England Under-21 squad. All I can do is focus on what I am involved in.
"Obviously it would be very nice [to play in the tournament] but I just have to keep my feet on the ground and take it step by step."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Kvitova pulls out of Eastbourne tournament
EASTBOURNE, England Double Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has withdrawn from the Aegon International tournament at Eastbourne with an abdominal strain, tournament organizers said on Monday.
ORLANDO, Florida Already a global sport, golf's future lies in the growth of the international game and a return to the Olympics, seven-times major winner Arnold Palmer said on Friday.
After 112 years, golf will return to the Olympic program at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Games, making it the sport's most significant event after the four major championships.
"As the Olympics cast their influence on the world with golf becoming an Olympic sport it is going to have a great affect on the game," Palmer, 83, told Reuters at Bay Hill where he is hosting this week's PGA Tour stop. "I would have enjoyed that (playing in an Olympics) had it been part of the program but I am happy that it's doing what it is doing.
"International golf is going to become a bigger factor as time goes on than it is now and I think that we as a nation and the United States are going to have to take a look at the international aspects of golf," added Palmer.
Just a glance at the Arnold Palmer Invitational leaderboard on Friday underscored how global golf has become with players from 10 different nations represented among the top 20.
Many of those players, including Tiger Woods, Fijian Vijay Singh, Spain's Sergio Garcia and Japan's Ryo Ishikawa could be representing their respective countries when golf returns to the Olympics in 2016.
But while the Olympics are sure to attract the world's best golfers, Palmer is not as convinced that the course layout for the Summer Games will be of the same high quality that they have become accustomed to.
A renowned course architect himself, Palmer is concerned that delays in construction could mean the Olympic course will not be of a gold medal standard.
"I am still little nervous about the Olympics and how that will transpire in 2016 simply because they are a little behind the gun already and they are going to have to pick up pretty quickly," said Palmer.
"It takes a little time to build a golf course and takes a little more time for it to mature into a championship type golf course."
Earlier this month American Gil Hanse was selected to design the Olympic course, beating out competition from seven other architects, including well-known ex-players Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Greg Norman.
Hanse is known for minimalist designs which rely on the natural environment rather than heavily-landscaped courses and also for building courses that are accessible to both amateur and professional players.
The course will be built at Reserva de Marapendi in Barra da Tijuca, about five kilometers from the Athletes' Village.
After the 2016 Summer Games, the layout will be used as a public facility to help promote golf in Brazil.
After several false starts, work on the Olympic course is set to begin next month and open in 2015, Rio organizers said on the International Olympic Committee's website.
"As it marks the return of golf to the Olympic Games after over a century of absence, this course represents the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the sport," said Rio 2016 President Carlos Arthur Nuzman. "This course will be an excellent facility for the practice and development of golf and will inspire millions of youth across Brazil and the globe."

Aging supplements?
Rottie board is a bust thus far so Im posting this here even though its a Rottie question....
New dog to me. 5 yrs old. Rottweiler. Overweight but losing it fast. Currently eating SD large breed kibble but I am going to switch her over to raw as soon as this bag is mostly gone.
She's got some front end soreness happening when she first wakes up in the morning. Left front leg. I think it's her foot (I suspect her pads just from being on pavement all of the sudden after 5 yrs of a sedentary life) But she doesn't seem to react at all to poking and prodding and I cant actually find anything wrong. Im fairly sure Ive just over-done her exercise so she's getting a few days off but it's also got me thinking about joint supplements for aging and such.
Glucosamine etc. Since Raw doesn't come with any built in vitamins and supplements (Ive never fed raw before!) is it prudent, given her age, to start adding joint supplements and such?
Does anyone think they help?
any time you have rapid loss of weight , and soreness on a limb , especially with some breeds in a high risk category, which Rottweilers are you should go to the vet and rule out cancer, bone cancer .
get your bill of health and then add the supplements
Oh her weight loss isn't that rapid...Not in a worrying sickness way. She has a bit of a flank now instead of looking like a sausage. That's all.
I would like to make sure it's not exercise related before I jump to cancer as that seems a bit extreme given that she is now exercising for the first time in her life. It seems much more likely that movement is the cause of any soreness than a prolonged sickness.
I spoke with her old owner this morning. She did not wake up sore with them that they noticed so this is a new development.
Even assuming it's exercise related my question a long term one rather than fixing her now. I think now all she needs is a bit of a break. And maybe I need to find some grass to walk on rather than country roads for a bit til she toughens up.
I think also it is best to first have the vet check her over to rule out any possible disease or a medical issue for the soreness.
1 in 4 Rotties (I believe) are prone to osteosarcoma. especially if altered at early age (under 2 yrs.).
Of course, extensive exercise on overweight dog who has had sedentary life will do it too. Could be both.
Rotties are prone to obesity too, likely thyroid related. Going raw asap, low fat, kelp for thyroid.
And when checked out...please do not allow vet to put on NSAID or steroid "just because"...ask what has to be done to rule out bone cancer...do that first before all else
So - I would take any new dog in to the vet for a wellness check. You are looking at a breed with elbow issues: Rottweiler | Canine Inherited Disorders Database | University of Prince Edward Island Sometimes animals gain weight because moving hurts.
It's a new dog - that's why taking it slow will give you an idea of her baselines - activity, behavior, etc. From there you can figure out what she might need.
I'd be looking for either a sports or PT vet in my area with the idea that they could work with me to design a safe, healthy exercise program for her, probably incorporating the use of an underwater treadmill. http://westernvet.ca/wp-content/uplo...ehab_final.pdf
I use Springtime supplements for my dogs - they are all on them, regardless of age. For the younger they get the regular joint and the fresh factors, the older ones get Longevity (if they will eat it!).
But - step back from the exercise until you can see someone about her general condition. Good luck - she's a pretty girl for the breed!

Thousands Rally to Save Nativity Scene
As many as 5,000 attended a rally in a small Texas community to show their support for a Nativity scene under attack by a Wisconsin-based atheist group, according to a minister who organized the event.
"We are humbled at the turnout of the crowd," said Nathan Lorick, the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Malakoff and one of the organizers of Saturday's rally in Athens.
"We believe that God led us to do this and so we knew he was up to something great," he told Fox News & Commentary in an email message. "This message is resonating in the hearts of people all over the country. This was a real statement to the nation that Christians are tired of the persecution and suppression. We want all to know that we are ready to contend for the faith."
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a group based in Wisconsin, sent a letter to Henderson County explaining that a local resident had complained and they wanted the Nativity removed from the courthouse lawn.
The FFRF alleged that the Nativity sent a message of intimidation and exclusion to non-Christians.
But their attack prompted a tremendous outcry not just in Henderson County, but across the nation.
The Texas Attorney General offered to defend the county in the event the atheists sued, arguing that the county has no legal obligation to remove the Nativity scene from the courthouse grounds.
"Our message to the atheists is don't mess with Texas and our Nativity scenes or the Ten Commandments," Attorney General Greg Abbott told Fox News & Commentary. "I want the Freedom From Religion Foundation to know that our office has a history of defending religious displays in this state."
Attorney General Abbott said the organization is trying to "bully local governmental bodies" and he said he wanted to make sure Henderson County knows "there is a person, a lawyer and an organization in this state that has their back, that has the law, that has the muscle and firepower to go toe-to-toe with these organizations that come from out of state trying to bully governmental bodies into tearing down things like Nativity scenes."
Pastor Lorick said Saturday's rally was peaceful and included speeches, patriotic music, Christmas carols and prayers. Nevertheless, he said they intended to send a message to the nation.
"It is time for Christians in America to stand up, show up and speak up," he said. "We believe that it is time to lead America back to the biblical and Christian values and morals that have made our nation so great since its birth."
Pastor Lorick said he's received hundreds of calls and email from across the country — and he was overwhelmed by the size of Saturday's crowd.
"I do hope that people across the nation will take note and know that they too can stand up and speak up," Lorick said. "All I can tell you is that my eyes have been opened to a large number of people who want to see us fight for our faith."

By Richard Clarke
While the "Arsenal 2" part of Tuesday night's scoreline received the most acclaim, the "Juventus 0" bit was just as important.
In the prelude to the Champions League Quarter-Final opener at Highbury Arsène Wenger argued: "The first game of the two ties determines qualification. That psychological print in the heads of the two teams is always decisive."
Having stolen a mental march on the Serie A leaders, his captain was more circumspect but Thierry Henry still had the highest praise for the re-modelled Arsenal defence that completed a record-equalling seventh clean-sheet in the Champions League.
"I will tell you how important this result is when we have gone over there," said the captain.
"After the Real Madrid away game everybody said that we should have scored more. But at the beginning of the game if everyone had said we'd win 1-0 at Madrid then I think a lot of people would have signed for that.
"The main thing that I was pleased about [on Tuesday night] was how we defended and the fact that we did not concede a goal. Even on a day when perhaps they are not play that well, Juve can always hit people.
"The defence is doing tremendously well at the moment," Henry went on. "But there is no secret.
"For example a guy like Mathieu Flamini. He is playing out of position and maybe in the first two or three games it was not easy for him. He has had to adapt. That is not easy but game by game he is doing his job. But it is harder if Jose Reyes does not come back to help, like it is if Alex Hleb does not protect Eboue.
"If, when we lose the ball, everybody comes back then they have an easier job in defence. That is some stuff that we forgot sometimes this season."
It seems they have remembered just in time.

Hey All,
I have recently adopted my dads old layout boat and setup which hasn't been used in probably 10 years. With that being said most of the leads for the decoys are braided decoy line and are semi rotten so I would like to retie all of his old decoys. I have read and decided to go with the 36" leads but I am still curious about what to go with for the decoy line material? Cost is always important so whats the most bang for the buck? What are the best knots? Crimps? Where do I find the materials? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok on Wednesday so, to find out more, we also asked local journalist Mark Iles for his thoughts and analysis.
"Bolton have played better over the last couple of games, particularly in midfield and attack. David Ngog has pace, Martin Petrov delivers excellent crosses, while Nigel Reo-Coker and Mark Davies are playing with energy and desire. Chris Eagles, too, can be dangerous when running with the ball. However, they are still struggling at the heart of their defence. Both David Wheater and Zat Knight lack pace, but to make matters worse they are not reading the game quickly enough to compensate for it. If Arsenal play at a high tempo, they should cause all manner of problems."
"Things have improved steadily since beating Blackburn on December 20 and their performances have been quite good. There have been a couple of setbacks, like losing to Man United and Newcastle, but on the whole things are starting to look a bit rosier.
A few players are coming back from injury, they have a settled line-up, a settled formation and whereas things were a bit doom and gloom before Christmas, it's looking a bit better now.
"Owen Coyle has had so much bad luck with injuries and form: some of his key performers haven't been at the races at all. In the last six to eight games though, some of those key performers have found a level of consistency. We have also seen people like Sam Ricketts come back and look fresh, David Ngog is fit again, and it gives them a bit more solidity when you know what your team is going to be on a Saturday.
"Mark Davies is the man for Bolton. he is playing in a role that really suits him, behind the front man. He is starting to mature, and we wondered whether he would be one of those players with unfulfilled potential, but he is starting to know a bit more of himself and really having an influence on games.
"It is in Owen Coyle's nature to play attacking football but recently there has been a bit of a counter-balance with them only playing one man up front. It gives them more insurance by having Nigel Reo-Coker in front of the back four. It has had a impact on the gung-ho football that we saw at times last season from them, but I think it suits the players.
"Ivan Klasnic is a possibility for Wednesday, he has had a groin problem. The big question, though, is whether Jussi Jaaskelainen comes back into the team after a thigh injury. Adam Bogdan has deputised very well, so it would be a bit of a shame if he came out of the team considering how well has has played. There is a big decision to be made there. I can see it ending 1-1 on Wednesday."

On the same day he was elevated to the College of Cardinals, Cardinal-designate Donald W. Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington D.C., came the University of St. Thomas campus to speak about "Religious Faith's Role in Building a Good and Just Society." The event, held Wednesday, Oct. 20, marked the inaugural lecture for the UST Center for Faith and Culture Master of Arts in Faith and Culture Program.
The lecture video can be viewed on the UST website. A full transcript of the lecture is also available.
In his lecture, Cardinal-designate Wuerl asserted that the service, which religious faith renders as the conscience of society, is a cornerstone of our American experience.
"We look to religious faith for guidance as we struggle to build a good and just society," Cardinal-designate Wuerl said. "Faith conviction has a long-standing role in our American culture. It is precisely out of our religious experience that we have been able to form public policy in the United States in the areas of human dignity and the improvement of working conditions.
"We are reminded today that we also have a part in the efforts to transform our world, our society and our culture so that they are truly reflective of those values rooted in human nature and reflected in our faith experience – the bedrock for a culture in which justice and love flourish and peace is sustained," he said.
Pope Benedict XVI named Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl to the College of Cardinals on Oct. 20. A consistory to formally elevate the new Cardinal will be held at the Vatican on Nov. 20. A Mass will be held with the Pope on the following day.
Cardinal-designate Wuerl is known nationally for his catechetical and teaching ministry and for his efforts on behalf of Catholic education. In April 2008 Archbishop Wuerl hosted in Washington Pope Benedict XVI on the Holy Father's historic journey to the United States.
He currently serves on numerous national and international bodies and is chairman of the board of directors of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, chancellor of The Catholic University of America and chairman of the board of the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center. He is also chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Doctrine and a member of the USCCB Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis.
