CHAPEL HILL --- No. 8 North Carolina advanced to the 2013 ITA Kick-Off Weekend final with a 4-0 victory over No. 68 Auburn Saturday afternoon at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. Caroline Price, Lauren McHale and Tessa Lyons were singles winners for the Tar Heels, who will face No. 46 VCU Sunday for a spot at next month's ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
UNC (3-0) had its hands full in doubles against the Tigers (0-1), who were making their spring dual debut. The No. 8 duo of Ashley Dai and Whitney Kay defeated Pleun Burgmans and Michala Kucharova at the top position, 8-3, but Jackie Kasler and Emily Flickinger evened the score with an 8-4 win over No. 51 McHale and Lyons.
That left court three to decide the point, with the senior duo of Gina Suarez-Malaguti and Zoe De Bruycker outlasting Paulina Schippers and Jennifer Pfeifler to clinch doubles.
No. 36 Price, who missed much of the fall with a variety of injuries, was first off in singles, impressing with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Pfeifler on court five. No. 111 McHale then pushed it to 3-0 in the dual with her 6-1, 6-4 win over Flickinger on court three.
From there, De Bruycker and Lyons were in a race to seal the dual, and the junior from Wallingford, Pa., finished just ahead of her senior teammate. No. 101 Lyons defeated Plamena Kurteva in straight sets on court six, 6-2, 6-3, to send the Tar Heels into the Kick-Off Weekend final.
In the day's first match, VCU won a tight doubles point and cruised in singles to best DePaul, 4-0. DePaul and Auburn will play a consolation match Sunday at 9 a.m. before the UNC-VCU final. The winner of the final will advance along with 14 other qualifiers and host Virginia to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Charlottesville, Va., Feb 8-11.

Very timely question and replies.I went to visit my recently deceased MIL house that just cleared probate to cut the grass. She's had bee's in the house before that someone else cut out about 2 months before I decided to become a beekeeper.She's got another swarm setting/set up between the 2nd and first floor in the floor joist. About 20ft over from the last hive. Considering tackling it myself. It is right on a corner but also behind a huge deck so going at it from the inside is probably the best option. It is right next to a sliding glass door so I am thinking I'll crack that door open and hope the bee's that fly go outside.Do you use smoke inside or essential oil sprays or nothing?
If they haven't been there very long depending on construction you just may be able to get them from the exterior. If you would describe the house or have pictures that would be great. We would be more than happy to give you any tips you might have....JP

ETA: keep chlorhex shampoo AWAY from the dog's eyes--this is VERY important. Read the label about how long to leave it on (usually 5-10 minutes).
If it has a yeast component, you can also use this kind of shampoo to give immediate relief, while using the coconut oil that Moms recommended in the diet. The coconut oil will help from the inside, slowly--for a long-term solution. The baths will help on the outside, for immediate relief. This is a situation where the mainstream vet products and nutraceuticals can work well together.
Since you are seeing this stuff in specific patches, I'm wondering if it might even be a bit of yeast or even staph on the skin.
I've seen some flaky, scabby patches on a few fosters, and the vet had me bathe with Chlorhexidene shampoo (available without a prescription); if there was a suspected fungal component, I was instructed to use Ketachlor shampoo (which requires a prescription). We had to repeat the baths weekly for 3 weeks with one dog; another one that was REALLY bad got bathed twice a week.
I'd start with basic Chlorhex shampoo (or Malaseb), available from online pet supply stores, or Amazon. It might knock it out with just a single bath or two. Here are some examples:
|GSD mom...my mom raised me on that stuff...hated it as a kid, but have used it on horses, cows, goats, dogs kids and myself successfully. Now the grand kid is getting dosed with it. It is fabulous on sunburns, too!
How great that you rescued Diamond!
It could possibly even be the chicken besides the grains!
Here are a few suggestions:
Consider food sensitivity testing, called "Nutri-Scan" created and patented by Dr. Jean Dodds of Hemopet: "This test measures antibodies to certain foods in dog saliva. High antibody levels indicate that the dog has a food sensitivity and intolerance to that food or foods. Food intolerance or sensitivity is actually quite common whereas food allergy is rare.
These are different body immune responses. Food allergy is a more immediate reaction mediated by production of IgE and IgG antibodies. Food sensitivity and intolerance, by contrast, measures a more delayed body response to offending foods by measuring production of IgA and IgM antibodies primarily in mucosal secretions from the bowel. NutriScan tests for the twenty most commonly ingested foods by dogs to provide you with specific results as to your dog's food intolerance's or sensitivities. Since it is a salivary test, you have the convenience to complete the test at home or at your veterinarian's office. Best of all, you can have the results in approximately two weeks to help you put your dog on the right diet."
$130 for one panel (10 antigens), $250 for two panels (20 antigens). I suggest getting both. Vet Allergy test cost about $500 for 20 antigens. Check this page for test differences: http://nutriscan.org/the-nutriscan-difference/nutriscan-vs-skin-patchskin-prick-testing.html
Main site: NutriScan Food Sensitivity and Intolerance Test for Cats and Dogs
Raw would be the best way to go but I understand that not everyone is able to do this. You may want to try a high quality novel protein kibble like pork and limited ingredients such as Acana Singles "Pork and Butternut Squash". Pork & Butternut Squash | Acana Type your zip code on the following page to find a Doggie Boutique near you that either carries it or can order it for you: Store Locator | Acana Ingredients: Deboned pork*, pork meal, green lentils, red lentils, pork liver*, butternut squash*, pork fat, green peas, yellow peas, canola oil, algae, garbanzo beans, pumpkin*, carrots*, pork kidney*, freeze-dried pork liver, kelp, chicory root, ginger root, peppermint leaf, lemon balm, mixed tocopherols (preservative), dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product.
Nature's Variety (not Nature's Recipe): Find a store here: Find a Store | Instinct Pet Food for Dogs and Cats Ingredients: Duck Meal, Tapioca, Peas, Canola Oil (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid), Natural Flavor, Montmorillonite Clay, Coconut Oil, Potassium Chloride, Salt, Vitamins (Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin Supplement, d-Calcium Panthothenate, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement), Minerals (Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide, Sodium Selenite), Choline Chloride, Green Tea Extract, Rosemary Extract.
If you do change food, take your time weaning her on to it.
Also, you may want to add two high quality oils and a digestive enzyme/probiotic to your dogs food:
Ultra Oil: http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Oil-Skin-Supplement-Hempseed/dp/B0048Z93LU "Our special formula of nutritional oils from Hempseed, Flaxseed, Grapeseed and Fish (sardine & anchovy) provides the Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids pets need for healthy skin and a shining coat. It is the most effective way to relieve hot spots, allergic breakouts and other skin and coat irritations. Ultra Oil also relieves joint pain, dryness and excessive shedding – in addition to these other benefits:
Purchase USDA Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil – raw/cold pressed (should also state Non GMO & without Hexane!) from a health food store. It has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties! Add 1 tsp. of organic coconut oil to your dogs food for every 10 to 20 pounds of body weight.
Digestive Enzyme/Pro-Biotic combination: http://www.thewholisticpet.com/products/canine-product-line/digestive-support/wholistic-digest-all-plustm.html OR Sunday Sundae Nutritional Supplement
Always introduce each item slowly and at a smaller amount than recommended so as not to upset the gut.
Using Apple Cider Vinegar, suggested by Juliem is a great idea! Make sure that you purchase an Organic one like "Braggs" from a health food store, that contains the "Mother Tincture" which has the medicinal properties. Mix 50% ACV and 50% purified water (not city water).
Are the quarter sized areas moist or dry?
Rudy got hot spots which were about that size on his rear end above his tail. I think they were caused by a shampoo. They started out dry, but got kinda weepy. We used half strength apple cider vinegar sprayed on them twice a day for about ten days, then they disappeared. I did not want to go the antibiotic route unless needed. We were lucky in that he couldn't reach them to bite, lick or scratch. I did not change his food till he got allergic dermatitis on his snout, now he is on a corn and soy free food, and that has also cleared up.
GSD has dry itchy spots?
So we just got a 6 year old white GSD from owners who couldn't care for her anymore. Her name is diamond . When we got her her owners said she had a food allergy to corn based food, and she had hot spots around her hind legs and bum. So we bought her a chicken grain free food, all natural, and now dry patches are appearing . One on her body and another on her back leg , and one on her front leg. They are about the size of a quarter. They look like scabs, we are thinking of buying her salmon food and seeing if the spots go away. If it's not from the food ( not good allergies) what could it be? How to prevent and how to heal? Please help!!

I remember reading that when the top marginal tax rates go down, that charitable contributions go down with it.
Also, during the recession I saw a lot of scared rich people doing lots of scared things...dumping stocks, for example.
However, the conservative argument requires that if the Government got out of the business of helping the poor, that private charitable organizations would perform the work.
How would Churches and non-profits succeed if they, like everyone else, suffered from investments tanking and a sudden drop in revenue? Where would they get the money to help the poor or economic victims?
Also, does anyone have any information regarding tax rates and charity to prove or disprove the premise?

Woodland Hills looks to avenge loss to Upper St. Clair
Woodland Hills and Upper St. Clair had a lengthy hiatus in their series, but the teams are quickly making up for lost time.
After not playing since the Wolverines came away with a 28-15 victory in the 2005 WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinals, they will take the field for the second time this season Friday at Baldwin, with a spot in the championship game at Heinz Field on the line.
Upper St. Clair (10-1) got the best of Woodland Hills (9-2) when the teams met in the season opener Aug. 31. Panthers quarterback Pete Coughlin ran for three fourth-quarter touchdowns in a 31-12 victory.
"It's hard for both of us to play a team we've played before, but you look at what they did well against you before and how they've done in their recent games because they've evolved to where they're at," Novak said. "Playing Upper St. Clair, it's always tough to play them because coach (Jim) Render is, by far, the best coach in the WPIAL; defensively, they're one of the best defenses in the WPIAL year in and year out; and their offense, with all its motions, is tough to prepare for."
Woodland Hills is coming off one of its best defensive performances of the season in a 17-14 quarterfinal victory over second-seeded Gateway. The Wolverines made the Gators one-dimensional by negating their running attack (minus-39 yards on 18 carries).
"When you're in the playoffs every game's different, and against Gateway, our first objective was to stop the run and not let them throw deep on us," Novak said. "We were able to contain their run, and they threw the ball 49 times on us and that was a lot of passing. But our secondary did a nice job, and against St. Clair, it's going to be totally different."
One of the reasons Woodland Hills was able to defeat highly touted Gateway was the offensive spark of freshman Miles Sanders, who carried 14 times for 93 yards and both of the team's touchdowns.
Though Sanders was a nonfactor when the Wolverines and Upper St. Clair met in the opener — he had just three carries for 17 yards — he developed into the team's leading ground gainer with 111 carries for 640 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Unfortunately for the Wolverines, he'll be on the sideline watching the rematch. Sanders left the Gateway game in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury.
Without him in the lineup, the Wolverines will return to a running-back-by-committee approach they used early in the year with senior Alex Beasley and Dequan White in the backfield to complement reverses from wide receiver Khalil Harper.
"We have some other running backs that will get opportunities this week," Novak said. "We'll see who goes in."
Coming up with a winning formula, even with senior 1,000-yard passer Cody McClelland, will be a challenge against an Upper St. Clair defense that has not been scored upon in the tournament. The Panthers are the only team in the WPIAL playoffs in any classification not to allow a postseason point.
Still, Woodland Hills was able to hold Gateway to more than 23 points under its season average. Maybe the Wolverines can glean something from that first meeting to help them break the Panthers' shutout streak.
"We threw the ball a little on them, but we weren't able to run the ball at all," Novak said. "We won't have Miles this week, so we'll let him take the week off and see what happens."

They give a "range" of pull weights because tolerances will vary even within a single production run; a dirty or dry weapon might require more force to activate the trigger than a clean/lubricated one; and because the trigger pull weight can vary over the life of the weapon (typically very heavy and somewhat gritty when new, and getting lighter and smoother as the gun "breaks in" and the parts polish each other where they rub together).
For many guns, a gunsmith "trigger job" can significantly reduce the amount of force needed to fire the weapon, and also make the trigger action smoother (more important than weight in some folks' opinion). Unfortunately, because of their very reasonable initial price, there has never been a big market for gunsmith trigger-pull smoothing of Ruger centerfire autos; almost no one who spent $200-$300 to buy one wants to spend another $200+ dollars to tune it up.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Jun 14, 2012.
Guy on the right uses too much under eye shadow............not a good look for him.
What happens when a man known for his intense summer workouts picks up the pace? It might be time to turn a new page for Chuckles. He is very dedicated now! I feel badly for mocking him. The media guide is going to write itself. From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120927/SPORTS0102/209270402#ixzz27fmOtZoX
I picture Charlie peddling an excercise bike in a sauna while throwing punches at a heavy bag. My hope is that he loses so much weight that he simply vanishes one day.
He's a human montage. He should only have the rocky theme song In his music collection.
I wonder if he reads Korean while riding the bike...
Move over Willis Reed. The picture of Charlie G courageously stepping into the sauna while injured has become the defining image of overcoming adversity to me!
Chucky Balboa.
This was really sad. Instead of seeing a video about Charlie's schedule, you see a 3 1/2 minute video about an out-of-shape writer wimping out and tossing his cookies. What was the point? It wasn't informative. It wasn't funny.
I hadn't watched the video when I posted the article. I was hoping it was some Kronk Gym type place instead of the glorified pilates studio it was. The video was posted in 2 different articles this AM. The one I posted seemed like a first draft that slipped through cracks but it was more Charlie-centric. It would have been awesome if Charlie was just standing off the writer's shoulder with a towel over his shoulder and scalley cap on like Apollo Reed's cornerman the whole time. He looks ridiculous hitting the heavy bag.
Even if he sucks again this year, I have respect for Charlie for at least working hard to get in shape. It does look like he is doing some pretty intense stuff. We'll have to wait and see if this translates to the basketball court.
He looks pretty cut to me.
Media Day photo. I just ask him via Twitter if he is playing with a chip on his shoulder after getting cut from the Dominican Republic team... lol
I still find it funny he chose to wear Darko's number.
Actually, That is actually a perfect question.
He didn't answer me. BUT! Slava Kravtsov and Corey Maggette Answered me!
Please share.
Did you ask those guys about BoT getting cut from the Dominican team?
LOL! No! .. that would've been hilarious! Andre Drummond also answer me, I asked first how was he doing with the free throws but they didn't answer me that, and then asked something else.
Wow. If Charlie hears that Slavakrava is practicing 3's, he's going to feel really threatened.
I read Magette just loves working with Arnie. He said that he was planning to retire after this season, but after a couple months with Arnie, he feels like a new man.
Separate names with a comma.

Our yards say something about us
February 25, 2012
Before our guests even get to the front door, our yards have already set the tone for how welcome people feel arriving at our homes.
What does your outdoor ambiance say to passers-by or to first-time guests-or to YOU when you roll into the driveway after work? If the vibe is a little off, the look is a bit scruffy or the overall feel is dated, it might be time to update the landscape.
Amazing transformations can be accomplished simply by pruning out-of-control plants to restore a neat appearance. The next step can be removing overgrown bushes that are taking up too much space. Junipers, in particular, have a way of overgrowing their usefulness and even browning out in the process.
It's also amazing to see what can happen when a few overgrown plants are replaced with newer, brighter varieties. This is the outside equivalent of updating a worn sofa by throwing on a new cover. There's a lot of bang from the bucks spent on even a few new plants.
Still not enough? More extensive projects will definitely up the impact, but it's important to know what you want, what you have room to do and how much you can accomplish with the resources at hand. It used to be that a sprinkler system was the luxury item of the wealthy. Same for water features and then, other amenities like fire features.
But with the expanding options now available, all of these items can be affordable and incorporated into even into the tiniest of yards.
Did you know an out-of-the-box fire pit can appear to be custom made just by surrounding it with an expensive-looking finish? That's exactly what one of our member contractors did last summer for a client and they even won an Excellence in Landscape Award for how well they transformed the yard within the client's budget.
Need inspiration for what could take your yard from ho-hum to welcome home with a wow? Peruse the photo gallery of the 39 properties that received Excellence in Landscape Awards last week from Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado's annual awards competition. You're sure to find ideas that can get you visioning the possibilities around your home.

Re the letter you got about a Spanish version of TWIV: ASM already has a nice Spanish microbiology podcast, called Mundos de los Microbios. Your TWIM co-host Elio has been on that podcast at least once that I've heard. Perhaps you could put the would-be Spanish TWIV guy in touch with that podcast's host, Gary Toranzos, or with Elio. I'd love a virology podcast in Spanish, even though I won't be able to listen at 2X like I do to the English language podcasts.

Just to let you know that my own literary research suggests that the several forms of historical (real life) "zombiism" are probably due to chemical rather than viral factors. If I ever finish it, it will be covered as a chapter in a book that I am writing on shamanism and shamanic drugs.
Although much of the caribbean zombie effect has been assigned to tetradotoxin, I believe that the effects of some of the other components have been underestimated. While caribbean zombies have become well-known (if not accurately portrayed) through the movies, it is less well-known that Europe had its own "zombie hordes". Greek literature speaks of lycanthropes which were far more like zombies than werewolves and the Norse legends speak of living ghosts (draugr, I believe) of great warriors as well as housewives. Most of the european zombie stories speak of pathetic weak creatures. A few legends (especially norse ones) speak of killing machines eventually dispatched by living warriors. All of the legends describe these zombies as mentally deranged. Interestingly, I believe that a few recovered their mental facilities and "returned to life". Skipping over a lot of the background, it seems likely that these "living dead" of Europe and the Americas were the result of accidental and deliberate overdoses of Jeckylltropes, tropane-containing herbal concoctions derived from members of the Solanum family (especially daturas). These Jeckylltropes seem to have included the zombie poison of Haiti and the witch's flying ointment of Europe the effects of which can cause long-term derangement and suggestability.
Thus (real life) zombiism is of chemical etiology. A viral etiology is possible but has not, to the best of my knowledge, been observed.

Love twip twim and twip. Found these through FiB. Great explanations and not dumbed down for those of us with at least two brain cells. Find every one able to communicate this field very well. Learning lots. Thanks lots.
Despommier is outstanding. Keep them coming. Can you speak upon the surface layers of viruses and how antibodies bind to this surface.

Dear TWIV crew,
I am a newcomer to your podcast and just want to start by saying how much I have been enjoying them. I learn a lot from each podcast and look forward to listening to them each week. A special thanks to Matt Evans for urging me to listen to you guys!
One of the best things about the podcast is the way you can explain things to the general audience. For example, I loved Vince's definition of microfluidics on TWIV #142: "really tiny tubes, small amounts of fluid." I wanted to draw your attention to another remarkable microfluidics paper, recently published in Nature Medicine entitled, "Microfluidics-based diagnostics of infectious diseases in the developing world." The authors are able to detect HIV and syphilis with just 1ul of blood with their "mChip" assay. It is really exciting to think that this low-cost, rapid assay could be used, particularly in the developing world.
All the best, and keep up the good work!
P.S. I am currently an MD/PhD student in Peter Palese's Lab. Vince, I just learned you did your PhD with Peter – I hope you have some good stories you could one day share (on or off the air!)

First off, I can't tell you how awesome it is to have the TWix series! In addition to the witty banter, the shows do a great job of breaking down the normally jargon laden content in a lively and accessible way. While i'm literate in basic biology, ease of information uptake through simplicity works wonders.
Since I'm relatively late on the bandwagon of awesome, I've been steadily working through the archives of TWiV…no complaints so far.
This is the kind of content that works so well for shifting education paradigms. Free access, unassuming style, and "further reading" standards (links) seem (to me at least) to make a well-designed tool for the classroom. To what extent have you considered integrating the series with your classroom experience, and vice versa?
also, would you be open to the idea of building an episode or two from the ground up, a sort of "science on the streets" interactive style? It might be really neat to have a question session with a local middle school/high school classroom, to talk about some common misconceptions and otherwise intriguing experiments.
Tried to keep this short, but there's one more thing:
Have you guys already covered (in unreleased) the latest update in the Haitian cholera paper? If not, it's absolutely worth checking out:
Thank you for your time, and keep up the amazing work!
*ps, is it possible to balance out the audio slightly? there seems to be a mildly jarring change from speaker-to-speaker.

Dune Messiah, the second book in the Dune saga, is a dramatic departure from its Hugo and Nebula Awardwinning predecessor. The action and adventure in the first novel are replaced by a sort of internalized drama -- Paul Atreides (the messiah Muad'Dib) is the most powerful human in the known universe. He alone controls the spice melange, "the ultimate coin of the realm." Without spice, the Guild Steersmen can't navigate space; the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood's Reverend Mothers lose their powers. Without spice, billions of Imperial citizens could die from withdrawal.
One would expect an assortment of forces to conspire to take control of Atreides' immense power. Among those plotting to destroy him are the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, who are trying to create a royal offspring that they can control; the Guild, who are trying to steal a sandworm to start the spice cycle on another planet; and the Bene Tleilax, who have brought back Paul's weapons master, Duncan Idaho, from the dead by creating a ghola out of his flesh.
While Dune Messiah may not have received the critical acclaim that Dune did, it is just as masterfully written. In fact, once I finished the third book in the series, Children of Dune, I had a newfound respect for Dune Messiah. All the (small) concerns I had about unusual character developments and strange plot twists were all answered quite satisfactorily. Paul Goat Allen

Carlson claimed Kerry "refused to talk about" Iraq "for two years"
Appearing on yet another imbalanced Chris Matthews Show panel, CNN and PBS host Tucker Carlson echoed the false GOP talking point that Senator John Kerry focused exclusively on Vietnam and "refused to talk about" the war in Iraq "for two years." As Media Matters for America has noted [1], Kerry talked about Iraq throughout his campaign for president and laid out a proposal [2] for creating a stable Iraq.
Matthews's other panelists on the January 2 show were BBC Washington correspondent Katty Kay, former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson, and NBC Weekend Today co-anchor Campbell Brown. It is not surprising that Matthews rang in the New Year with a panel that skewed to the right: As Media Matters has documented [3], of the 46 panels convened in 2004 on The Chris Matthews Show, 22 skewed to the right, twelve featured only journalists or contained an equal number of liberals and conservatives, seven skewed to the left, and five featured a conservative who supported Kerry on an otherwise balanced panel.

I was 17 when I bought my first 4-wheeler, a '73 Land Cruiser FJ40. It only had 56K miles on it– all highway– and I taught myself to drive a shift when I drove that beauty home from the seller's house (killed it at every light). My buddy and I tooled it all over Utah that summer, 'til I finally rolled it at Arches Natl. Park and had to drive it (with a crushed body and intact engine) to a body shop where it rehabilitated for the next month. I loved that 'Cruiser, and rue the day I got it in my head to sell it. The other thing I regret was never having gotten a winch. We got stuck a few times, and hadn't it been for the kindness of strangers, we'd still be there.
Now that I'm older and wiser (mostly from getting my fingers burned), I know that a winch is the first thing you want to get your 4-wheeler– long before any of the other off-road bling you've got in mind. For a modest investment, it'll save your bacon from places where other dogs won't hunt, and pay for itself over and over again.
The first question to address would be, what weight capacity winch should you get? It's said the rule of thumb is, you take the gross weight of your vehicle, add in the modded bumpers, suspension, tires, etc., and times that number by 1.5. So, for example, if your total weight comes out to be 5,000 lb., the winch should have a (x 1.5 =) 7,500 lb. capacity. If you try to go lower– 'cause, say, a 3,000 lb. winch is on sale– you run the risk of disaster in a ravine. If you go a lot more, like 12,000 lb., you'll be OK, but it's kind of overkill– unless, of course, you want to be able to help heavy metal in distress. In that case, my brother, go for it and there will be blessings in store for you in Off-Road Heaven.
Harbor Freight's Badland winches are legendary pullers– in the dirt, mud, snow, rocks, etc– and are consistently thrown high praise in four-wheeler forums, magazines and customer reviews. I was getting ready to write this article when I came across the story of Annabel, a late-40's CJ2A that got stuck in the rocks while trying to back down a steep, rocky dugway. The owner, Carl, had taken Annabel up the hill, but then decided he wanted to get it on video, so he backed her back down. He ran into a rock and dirt wall, the driver's side rear tire went flat, and he was wedged there– he couldn't go up or down. As luck would have it, he had a Badlands 5,000 lb. winch:
As Carl later posted:
"I am a firm believer in my 5000 lb winch. It has twice pulled me out of a steep sandy bank by it's self besides this dugway. That's three hard pulls with the winch doing the pulling for at least the length of the Jeep each time. None of these were easy pulls but once the winch got the Jeep moving it lightened up on the load."
Badlands off-road electric winches are rugged, dependable and give some of the biggest bangs for the buck. Check out these models:
"Works great, have used this winch for almost a year now. Installed it on my Yamaha Rhino and use it to pull trees down and once because I got stuck in a swamp. Now I use it to lift and lower my snow plow….for the money I'd highly recommend (it)." Fletch – Green Bay, WI
"I have a 6000 on my Samuri and was able to pull a full size ford truck out that was sunk to the doors this has been a great investment has never left me high or dry." Lil K – UT
The awesome "go-to" choice for pretty much all off-roaders, rock-crawlers, mud-boggers and sand-suckers. Get over and through the tough terrain with this musclebound electric winch. With a 9000 lb. towing capacity and an automatic load-holding brake for safety, this electric winch is excellent for the 4-wheeling novice and expert alike. A 12-foot lead remote switch makes this winch easy to use even when you're traveling alone. And the testimonies say it all:
"I honestly believe that my push bars and frame of the truck would rip apart before the winch gave out. LOL. Pulled my 5000-lb truck UP a 40 degree incline, with brakes locked and a bed full of firewood. I say it will do anything I would EVER need it to do… Very happy with my 9000. Now the 12,000-lb winch, and using a double line, is used for what? Bulldozers?" 1997 Silverado 350 Extended Cab – Concord, NC
"Searched a lot of places for a winch before buying this one. I put it on my '78 Ford F-250 "highboy" with 39-inch boggers. I have pulled out multiple vehicles stuck in the mud, and even a tree from out of the creek that a 3020 John Deere tractor could not. Couldn't be happier, in fact i just bought a second one." TheWiseGuy – Gallipolis, OH
When heading out with the buds for an off-road excursion, the wise man will gear up according to the credo, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." That said, the Badlands 12000-lb. electric winch brings a whole new meaning to, "If ye are prepared, ye need not fear." This is the Godzilla of the bunch, the one that can take on most any mishap and chore thrown at it. Rescue a vehicle, haul timber or load a boat with this powerful winch. The series-wound motor stays cool while the 3-stage planetary gear system provides fast line speed. Featuring an automatic load-holding brake for safety, this electric winch is a must-have for ANY off-road adventure! Just ask the guys who know:
"Installed the night before an off-road trip, got the Jeep stuck going uphill with the engine not able to run and it pulled the Jeep uphill like it wasn't even there. Fixed a loose wire on the distributor and the Jeep started like the battery had not bothered at all. Easy to install, I did it in less than an hour. Tough, reliable product. I would definitely recommend to a friend and buy again! No need to spend $1200 on a Warn for a weekend warrior toy with this winch around!" DocMicro – USA
"This winch is amazing… I pulled a car sideways– not forward or backward– but sideways, without my truck running to juice my battery, and it did it without a hiccup. Strong winch and def worth the money… If you're looking for a winch, this is the one." Toyota Mud Dog – The Plains, OH
For the lighter rigs, they also have 2,500 and 3,500 lb. capacity winches. So when you're ready to put a winch on your 4x– or replace your old one– check out the rough, tough line of affordable Badlands winches at Harbor Freight. No doubt, they'll make a believer out of you, too.

Thinking about getting this, worth it?
Thinking about getting this, worth it?
In a game or multimedia PC it's completely useless.
I plan to buy a 4k 28" monitor, they're really cheap at the moment, even though they're generally tn panels. The Samsung one is looking real nice as well.

Leaving this out here for you kids to realize how pointless 4k is for PC gaming.
YouTube Video
Not to forget that if you use a 28inch screen it makes it even more useless. You sit really close to it. If you sit like 20meters away from your screen it might look amazing, but it won't really make that much of a difference between 1080p and 4k when you're not even 1-2meters away. People should quit following the logic: "If it has a higher number it's bound to be much better and I should get it!"
Outside of 4k monitors, if you want to future-proof your rig then maybe? I'm not sure why it necessarily has to be the R9 295

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by TheGirlCanSkate, Jun 17, 2013.
Katarina with The Muppet's theme in her 81 short?
Stephanie Rosenthal's "Rockit" SP at 2006 U.S. Nationals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnkku5aJzZM
Jenny Kirk - Puttin' on the Ritz
Mao Asada's SP in 2013
Stephanie Rosenthal's SP & LP at the 2006 US nationals
I will think of more later, but these came to my mind immediately. I am sure there are men who had fun programs skated to modern music too.
How do you define "modern"?
Hummm, I guess something within the last 50 years. But more so music that would be unexpected in skating....like Hot Butter's Popcorn to today's Icona's I love it.
I thought this was fun.
I'll try to think of some more.
Takahashi's Cyber Swan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-UxKhsJdZs
Plushenko's Michael Jackson SP in 2002
It was original, parts of it were very fun, and it meant someone skating to Smack My Bitch Up (among other things) at the Olympics: I vote for Adrian Schultheiss and his 2009-10 free skate.
Also I think that when Joubert skated Rise well, it had great energy and was pretty fun. Clearly agreed, which is the main reason I am linking this performance and not the better version from 2010 Worlds (in which he had a somewhat less awful costume and toned down hip thrusts).
Yu na Kim's James Bond SP in 2010
Kristi Yamaguchi's Doop Doop SP--1995
I like programs to modern/contemporary music and think of them as memorable when the skaters develop their own language of movements and don`t just do a "regular style" to modern music, thus just pretending to do something out of the ordinary.
Thought of Eman in 2005/2006:
or Abbott in 2010:
Was it a pro competition? - It had to be; Kristi turned pro in 1992. In that case it would be called either Technical or Artistic program (there were no SP & LP in the pros- AFAIK).
It was a technical program. However, I believe it was set up just like a SP. I remember it even had a spiral sequence. She may have used it in a Pro/Am. You can find it on You Tube. Sorry, I don't know how to copy it--maybe someone else can.
It was a pro-am, which used a regulation short program and then an artistic program.
Some of my favorites, just off the top of my head:
Brian Joubert - 2013 SP
Michelle Kwan - A Day In The Life
Abitbol/Bernadis - The Addams Family
Maria Butyrskaya - Fever
Bebe Liang - Harry Potter
Jenny Kirk - Chicago
Savchenko/Szolkowy - Souvenir
Michelle Cantu - 42nd Street
This is one of my all time favourites - Punsalan & Swallow race cars
Yagudin's Racing program to Safri Duo music, though he only skated it in ISU competition once, at Skate America in 2002 when his hip was really starting to give him trouble. He skated it later in the Hallmark and Sears Open competitions. Fun concept and great choreography to carry it off. It's my favorite of all his short programs.
Bourne/Kraatz - Michael Jackson FD 2002
Virtue/Moir - Pink Floyd FD 2009
Navarro/Bommentre - U2 "One" FD 2010
Pechalat/Bourzat - Rolling Stones FD 2013, and OD in 2010 to "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"
Tonya Harding, 1991 Worlds SP:
Debi Thomas, 1988 Olympics SP:
Does that mean V/M's samba FD counts? (well until everyone started using Mujer Latine for their SD the following season)
IIRC Savchenko-Szolkowy skated a 'clown' SP in the last few years, but I don't remember the music.
Send in the Clowns from A Little Night Music. Another modern & fun program from them was their Pink Panther FS.
They got the compulsory pattern all wrong, but I loved Agafonova/Ucar's SD to Faiytale by Alexander Rybak.
Canadian skater (Haitian background), Maxime-Billy Fortin, choreographed by none other than Julie Marcotte:
"Makes you want to get out there and move along with him..." Tracy Wilson
Max Aaron 2012-13 sp:
Stephanie Rosenthal's 2006 Rock-it sp at USNats already mentioned; here's her 2006 FS to Ghost Dances:
ITA also re Punsalan's and Swallow's Racing Cars FD -- iconic and memorable.
Anything by Gary Beacom, including:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iJLlBn8-pE 1988 World Cup of Figure Skating
Gary improvising to Johnny Cash's Bird on a Wire -- hadn't seen this one before
I'm Your Man .... Nuff said!
Gary in Malevolent Landscape:
Quirky skating by Gary to a Beethoven classic makes for modern mix/ twist:
2006 Super Match performance by Gary:
Gary at a 2010 Dundee exhibition shows he's lost none of his skill/ on-ice magic:
Wow, another funky 2010 performance by Gary to modern techno music:
Last on this current list but certainly not least, the incomparable Torvill and Dean, ROCK the compulsories! Wowsa
Absolutely Aliona and Robin have many fun, different performances, including:
I don't know if these fall into the category of modern music but they were definitely fun and energetic programs.
I really liked Kaetlyn Osmond's SP this season. She impressed me b/c she matched the energy of the music and didn't let it run over her, which is hard to do.
I'm also a huge sucker for Kanako Murakami's "Jumpin Jack" program. Lots of energy, very fun and she had a blast with it. I'm not all at ashamed to say this was my favorite SP of the 2010-2011 season.
Plushenko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Piijc1x748 exhibition program, he is doing brakedance
Joubert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PXy-qmNnic the original Matrix in 2004
Love, love Akiko Suzuki's 2012-13 sp to Kill Bill music:
Not an easy program to master, but Akiko owned it at 4CC earlier this year!
Surya Bonaly at 1993 Worlds:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL2Jlg-O_lU Not modern music (Vivaldi's Four Seasons), but Bonaly makes it seem modern
I love all of these - so far my favorite is Kanako Murakami's "Jumpin Jack" program - her face is pure joy.
This reminds me of why I loved this program; and his performance of it, so much.

Thats what I want to know. I'm ready for my ROTJ jumpsuit here soon and I want to know whats the best bang for the buck.
I was going to go with SF b/c you get the pockets and what ever else with it. But he takes a while. Bobamaker looks great but the price is a little high for me. Skygunbro is looking good as well. Thing is time is not a matter here and I can do my own weathering. There might be others out there that I dint know of. So help me out here please.

I was taking a look around to find a real Webley and it seems next to impossible without dropping a lot of cash on one. Then I thought about getting a non-firing replica and still nothing, but then something hit me. This gun looks a lot like the Nagant revolver. I can tell there are a few differences between the two but I wanted to get everyone's take on this. Because I have a pile of nagant revolver parts around and they are pretty cheap to get new, I figured i could give one of these guys a try. What do you all think? Close enough or look some where else?
Minor things can be banged out in the final product.

SAP Integration Suite
The SAP Integration Suite consists of two modules: ITN Connector and ITN Content Server. ITN Content Server stores SAP documents in Alfresco, ITN Connector reads or writes information to or from SAP or calls functions in SAP.
The SAP-Alfresco integration makes information more available inside the company due to the many interfaces Alfresco provides. The modules can save SAP created receipts in Alfresco and enrich them with the receipt's metadata. Thus using the normal rule- or policy-based modifications from Alfresco, nearly everything can be done with these documents. Even employees without their own SAP account will now be able to search them, modify them and process them, e.g. capture invoices and debit them. Conversely, SAP functionality can be accessed from within Alfresco.
To add meta data to an incoming document, data can be read out from SAP database. This makes it easy to create customer folders and to access all documents involved in the respective business process.
To use SAP Integration Suite, additional SAP user accounts are not necessary. SAP or ABAP programming is not necessary. The configuration applies through a database.
- Bidirectional interface between Alfresco and SAP
- Converts SAP objects to Alfresco documents including searchable meta data
- After scanning and validation, incoming paper documents are connected with SAP and converted to electronic and searchable documents
- Creates dynamic file structures and meta data
- SAP information can be easily searched in Alfresco
- Allows for the saving of SAP receipts together with related documents

My Hairy Episode
Yup. That is how I feel right about now. This is going to be a long three fold post. I am sure it will be ridiculously boring to most people but since this a forum all about the woes and wees of curly hair, I figure it might be entertaining to someone. Or maybe some of you guys can relate and offer some tips.
Okay. It is 8 on a Sunday morning and the reason I'm awake is I was unable to sleep through the night thanks to my dry burning super irritated itchy scalp. I had my very first episode ever of dry scalp three weeks into CG. My whole life I've never had dry or itchy scalp so long as I washed every three days or so. I've never had an oily scalp either. It was just normal and I thought healthy. But then after I started co-washing the itchy scalp hit! I did not panic. I just figured my scalp was "healing" like it mentioned in the CG handbook. So I did a brown sugar scrub and massaged coconut oil into the scalp and ahhhhh, instant relief. (Short-lived though.) Since then I have been doing that scrub and oil routine maybe once a week to keep the itchies away and it was working for the most part. I get the itchies on the every other day I don't co-wash of course but if it was too bad I'd just co-wash at night and rinse and style the following morning so it evened out.
So then yesterday morning happened. I should preface this by saying I live in LA so arid climate. It was also an unusually cold day. And thirdly I have also been testing out ecostyler with argan oil which I know is glycerin and protein heavy but my hair hasn't seemed to be sensitive to any styling product's ingredients so far so I wasn't worried. I'm pretty sure my properties are normal. (Medium texture, normal porosity and elasticity.) Plus the ecostyler works well. I woke up with half decent hair already, wet it and restyled it with a tad more ecostyler. I then set out for my big day reuniting with a straight haired friend I hadn't seen in a while. Later that evening she paid me the kindest compliment I've received since I started wearing my hair curly again. She said my hair was beautiful and that she was jealous because hers was so boring. Um, yes? :walk: As a girl who coveted straight hair once upon a time I cannot tell you how wonderful that was to hear. And of course her hair is not boring; it is gorgeous and I told her so! But still it was nice to hear the grass was greener on my side for once.
Cut to even later in the evening when I made the mistake to scratch the itch that I'd been doing my best to ignore all day. After my long day out I just wanted to sleep. But I couldn't! It was driving me crazy. I got up and massaged my scalp with coconut oil. Went back to bed. Still no sleep or relief. Around 5 am I gave up, got some brown sugar and got in the shower. That is when the trouble started. My hair was dry. DRY DRY DRY! Since I've turned CG my hair has been so soft and luscious and seaweed like it turns to silk the instant I wet it. Now it was rough, tangled, and super starchy. It was terrible! I scrubbed my scalp with sugar and conditioner and then tried to run a finger through my hair after rinsing and I couldn't! A real first. I put a ton, I mean a TON of As I Am co-wash on the rest of my hair and let it sit for ten minutes and still I could barely get my comb through my hair. Took almost another ten to detangle.
So what was going on? Am I protein sensitive? That doesn't seem likely. Unless I'm wrong about my properties. Or was it just that the glycerin and the climate dried out my hair? Or could it be a combination of both?
And regarding the dry scalp: even after all that it still feels somewhat irritated. I came on here and went on a a research bender and learned some new things as I always do. Quite a few actually.
One: My As I Am Coconut Co-wash contains a preservative called methylisothiazolinone that is anti fungal and anti bacterial and is known to cause dry scalp. That... sucks. This is the only cowash I use and I love the way it makes my curls look. I was planning of trying out a more natural product anyways but given the results I was still going to repurchase this stuff. But I guess I can't use it to "clean" my scalp anymore. I only have a little left as I've been using it prety consistently so maybe I'll use the rest for my ends while I nurse my hair back to health.
Two: Co-washing so frequently can be counterproductive. It sends a signal to your scalp that it doesn't have to produce sebum because you're plugging in the moisture manually and artificially. Maybe I should co-wash less or add a low-poo. I don't know. But co-washing is so good to my curls though!
Three: A lot of the ingredients in my kinky curly products are good to my scalp. I think I'll switch back to these as stylers since they are glycerin and protein free to see if I can get my hair back to the way it was by the end of the week because right now it is like straw. Just like before CG.
Okay I'm done. Except for this... Does anybody know of a good low-poo or co-wash I can use that is glycerin and protein free? I may go get the giovanni or trader joes tea tree ones to treat my scalp but since my hair is so dry at the moment I was contemplating the Shea Moisture line too. Also Shea Moisture has great ingredients and no nasty preservatives.
Oh, and this! If anybody knows off the top of their head of any other ingredients that are super bad for my scalp I'm all ears. I would like to research some more now but I'm tired and my poor scalp is sore so I'm gonna sleep for half a day so I'll recover before the work week.

Best Way to Cycle in Aquasoil Amazonia
I have a current 10gallon going with a Eheim 2213 that has been running in a long existing tank for a few days (and an older filter that provided too much flow but has been used for ages and I will be using) and tank gravel. I bought a second 10 gallon as I knew there would be the cycle in time that was unavoidable with all aquasoils and this seemed the easiest, just transfer everything over once the ammonia was done leaching.
My plan was to do a 30-50% water change from my existing 10 gallon with a gravel vac and have the water go into the aquasoil amazonia 10 gallon in order to get as much preexisting bacteria as possible then fill the rest of the tank with regular tap water. I would then run the filter 24/7 for the next 4 weeks, doing water changes/adding plants/etc. Any suggestions as to how to get the initial source water for the quickest cycle?
use a sponge or other media to seed or bacter 100 or other starter products and green bacter.
Go to your local aquarium and ask them to squeeze one of their filter media into your bucket, bottle, bag etc. Pour that into the new tank.
I have an eheim 2213 thats been running for a few days in a long existed tank. What about the long existing tank's water/detritus in gravel? Would either of those make any difference at all as I wait to collect the new media? It might be a couple days before that can happen
The Dry start method is the easiest method to cycle.
Nitrifying bacteria grows on surfaces in a bio film.
This takes time to develop. You cannot expect a filter that has only been running a few days to have any major amount of bacteria on the media yet.
The more bacteria you take from a cycled tank the greater chance of that older tank going through a mini cycle. You want to avoid this.
While there is almost no bacteria in the water, here is what you might do to get the most (it won't be much, but will jump-start a new tank)
Do a very deep gravel vac on the old tank. Work really hard to get all possible mulm out of the old tank. Skim the substrate, close to the surface, and deeper.
You will not get so much bacteria that you are going to cause any problems in the new tank. That is OK, though, you really do not need that much.
Aquasoil will keep on producing ammonia.
It does not matter how much or how little bacteria is in the tank. It is the soil doing this.
It takes several weeks to a month for the soil to slow down its production of ammonia.
It does not matter what happens to the ammonia after the soil has released it. The soil keeps on producing more.
The soil is a good source of ammonia for the fishless cycle.
Since the soil will be producing ammonia for several weeks....
And the nitrifying bacteria take several weeks to grow to a good population even if you start with no bacteria....
... then it may help a bit to start with just a little, but there is no benefit to adding more and more bacteria, and risking the livestock in the established tank. It won't make the soil stop producing ammonia any faster.
Play any sort of games you want with the filters, but do not remove more than 25% of the established media from the cycled, mature tank. If you want to swap filters around, go for it. Just make sure that your current livestock population keeps as much of the bacteria as you can, and the bacteria is mostly on the filter media. So keep the media with the fish and shrimp.
A well established aquarium system will have bacteria in the filter, and on all the surfaces in the tank. Since there is a lot more surface area in all the sponges, bio media and other things in the filter, there will be more bacteria in the filter media. Since the next largest surface area is the substrate you would think that would be rich with bacteria, too. But the conditions in the substrate are not so good for the bacteria. So there is a pretty good population there, but nothing like the amount found in the filter.
All the other surfaces put together have nowhere near the amount of bacteria in the filter or substrate.
Some, but not much.
If I had to put numbers on it, I would say
50% of the bacteria live in the filter (including sponge pre-filters).
25% of the bacteria live on the underside of the upper layer of substrate (away from light, but in the best oxygen location, maximum water flow area)
25% of the bacteria live on all the other surfaces put together. Rocks, plant leaves, surface of equipment like tubing, heater surface, ceramic merpeople...
Diana brings up a good point: since the Aquasoil will have to stop leaching out ammonia before you can add fish, it doesn't make much sense to try to speed up the cycling so it takes less than a month to complete - even if you do you still haven't gained much. I'm cycling my tank with Aquasoil in it now, so I plan to just wait out the ammonia leaching and assume the tank will be cycled by then too. Meanwhile I will be testing for ammonia and nitrites just to be sure. I'm using a Hamburger mattenfilter, so it's a little different.

Earlier this spring, I read my first complete book, actually two, on one of our Sony eReaders. I'd only read excerpts previously to try it out.
My husband and I took a driving vacation. Usually I'd take five or six books along; this time I took 30+, all on the eReader and it wasn't full.
I admit it took me a little while to get used to it – the screen, the page turning, the side light when needed, BUT it sure was convenient.
I read Little Bee, such a compelling novel that I would have kept reading no matter what the format, and a short story collection, Where the God of Love Hangs Out.
I'm not a total convert to eReaders; I still like the traditional printed book but it's a format that has its place and it sure was easy to take an eReader rather than a stack of books on vacation.
We have several to loan; come visit and give on a try.

I realize it's only July... but what better time to plan next year's ski/snowboard vacation then now??
After some discussions with my crew, it looks like we're settiled on Telluride for a week in February.
Likely, February 10-16, 2013
I know a few of you guys are either from CO, or have been to Telluride. Any tips on places to stay??
We'll likely be ~12 guys. Would prefer renting a house, but if there's a better hotel option, we're open to whatever.
I see there's a bunch of "Hike To" Terrain.... Seems interesting. (but, staircases? ) Any feedback on the fun stuff on the hill would be GREAT!
Any feedback or advice is MUCH appreciated!!

Good Morning,
I will be serving as the Gulf Coast Region Coordinator for Freedom Hunters, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization. Freedom Hunters is a Military Outreach program. We are dedicated to honoring those who protect our Freedoms. Our program takes active duty, wounded, Gold Star and families of the deployed on hunting, shooting and fishing trips to relax and recoup. Our vision is to honor members of the military and their families. We hope to share outdoor traditions and our hunting heritage. Freedom Hunters was founded in Colorado,and also has a representative in Virginia. I live in Hattiesburg, Ms and have recently volunteered to try and expand the organization into Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana so that our wounded warriors right here at home can also enjoy the outdoors. We are 100% volunteer operated and heavily depend upon donations and sponsorships. We strive to raise enough money to cover wounded warriors hunting licenses, transportation, and any gear they may need for their hunt. I would like to find sponsors that would be interested in hosting a small group of two to three wounded warriors for a hunting trip in the future, as well as donate gear or funds. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and will not return until early december so any coordination can be done via email. Thank you for your time.

Ford 8.8" rear end slop
I used the search engine but wasn't able to come up with much. Here is a video.
IMG 2572 - YouTube
We are measuring about 5/16" in slop between the flange and the wheels. IOW with the brake on and the car in neutral the flange spins approx. that amount. With the brake also on but with the car in 1st there is only about 1/32" of play. Opinions please. Is this normal?
Ford 8.8" out of a 2006 mustang.
There is going to be some free play in the pinion because of backlash settings. Different gear ratios will have different amounts. A 4.56 gear will have more than a 2.73 gear because of the difference in the size of the pinion gear. You are also feeling the slop between the axle and pinion gears and the splines in the axles and axle gears. What you are feeling here is a stack up of several things in the rear end that have some clearance in them. If you were to remove the cover and hold the ring gear completely still you would feel less slop because you would only be feeling the clearance between the pinion gear and the ring gear. If you were to hold the pinion gear completely still and set up a dial indicator on the ring gear you could accruately measure the backlash between these 2 gears. It should be between .008 and .010 inch on a used gear.
While you were turning the drive shaft did you check for any up and down or in and out movement in the pinion? If you have any movement in the pinion other than rotation then you have a pinion bearing problem or you have a loose pinion nut.
Current gearset is a 4.10.
I don't have any howling or whining coming out of the rear end. I do get clunking going up into my driveway. It's much worse when out of gear. We did check for wobble and fore/back at the flange and were unable to detect any. The driveshaft was in during these tests. Not sure if that matters.
I am trying to get an idea if the amount of slop I'm seeing here is acceptable or if the cover has to come off for inspection. If it does I will have to take it to someone who knows what they are doing.
There is no way to tell by turning the pinion. The only way to accurately measure backlash is by setting up a dial indicator like the one in the picture that I posted. When you check backlash you MUST hold the pinion COMPLETELY still. If the pinion moves the slightest bit then your measurement will be wrong.
I appreciate the response. But it does leave me wondering what, if anything, I ought to do next.
This amount of slop is ambiguous if I am understanding you correctly. If that is the case then I'm not sure it's worth cracking the cover if everything else seems normal minus the clunking I hear going into my driveway.
Were the gears installed by someone who knows how to set up gears? If the job was done right then there is probably nothing to worry about. If they were installed by someone who doesn't know how to set the pinion depth, bearing preload and backlash then you need to check it out.
The shop that did the gear install is experienced. Nobody is beyond making a mistake but if I was their mistake let's just say that was some pretty crap luck.
A friend of mine has a 8.8 with a 3.27 gearset and his has a lot less play in it than mine. Same test conditions with brake set and in neutral. Some or all of the difference could be due to my 4.10. I just don't have the experience to know.
I have had at least one person on another forum tell me his is just like mine. And seen posts from people who said up to 14 degrees of slop at the flange is fine. I just keep reading conflicting stuff. Makes it hard for a newb to decide on a course of action.
I appreciate the responses here. Guess I'll have to think this over a bit. Would be nice if I had another car to compare that had the same rear end and gearset to get an apples-apples.

We are now less than two weeks away from our annual sojourn to the RSA security conference. RSAC is a great time for learning, meeting and making friends. (Please hold cynical remarks; RSAC is what you make of it.) As the date grows near and my excitement grows, I am preparing my mind and patience for the ubiquitous silver bullet marketing that is predestined to appear.
One of these silver bullets will be the term "actionable intelligence." You will be surrounded by actionable intelligence. You will bask in the glory of actionable intelligence. In fact, the Moscone expo floor will have so much actionable intelligence per capita you will leave the conference feeling like the threat landscape challenge has been solved. Achievement unlocked, check that off the list. Woot!
Well not so fast. I frequently talk to vendors that espouse the greatness of their actionable intelligence. Whenever I hear the term actionable intelligence I want to introduce them to Terry Tate, Office Linebacker. Terry Tate first appeared in a 2003 Reebok Super Bowl commercial.

Throw in a Sig P220 and the FN FNP45 you have all the usual suspects...
Hello folks. First off this is a GREAT site, and full of information. Keep up the good work. A lot of very knowlegable people here is seems.
So, with that, I have a question. I currently own a couple Taurus revolvers and a Bersa .380. However i am in the market for a new semi-auto and have narrowed my choice down to a few.
The first is a SA XD 45 Tactical. I have shot one and liked the way it felt in my hand. Shot great.
The second is a Taurus PT1911. I have also shot one of these. GRAET gun, and I hate to say it but it seemed to feel a little better in my hand, and it was more accurate than me.
The third is a S&W M&P. Have a couple of L.E. buddies who absolutely swear by em, and say there is nothing better. I have never shot one however.
So, any insite to this newbie would be greatly appreciated.
Throw in a Sig P220 and the FN FNP45 you have all the usual suspects...
+1 on the FNP. I just picked up my FNP9 and looking forward to some range practice.
since you are familar with the revolvers, are you specifically looking for a SA or hammerless autoloader? The gunsmith showed me a "new" (first in his shop) a sweet little Barretta 9mm (sorry i don't know the model #) with a saftey that the other DA/SA i was looking at didn't have.
Of the listed options I like the M&P best. If I hadn't gotten started with Glock and if the M&P was more tested and more things were known about them when I was looking, I would have gotten the M&P.
Favorite to me is the S&W M&P.
Then i would vote for the XD45.Though if it was on your list i would take the FNP over the XD...
