Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Rex, Sep 19, 2012.
Maybe Mary Magdalene, maybe not?
This is where the Bible confuses me so.
I read an article about this, too. They seem to believe that the fragment is accurately dated, some time before the year 400. They are not sure, exactly, where it came from. Karen King (Harvard Divinity) got the papyrus from a private owner (who choses to remain anonymous). He says he got it: "The owner who showed it to King found it in 1997 in a collection of papyri that he acquired from the previous owner, who was German. The papyri included a handwritten German description that had the name of a now-deceased professor of Egyptology in Berlin who called the fragment a "sole example" of a document that claims Jesus was married."
Some are speculating that the use of the word wife is misleading and that it might be that Jesus was referring to the church as his wife. In any case, this is very interesting. We do know that the Church has adopted and rejected Gospels that did not suit their interpretation of Christianity. We will see how the Church reacts to this.
I do have a question regarding the language. It states that it is written in the Coptic language. There is also a reference to Egypt. Would this be related to Coptic Christians? In light of what is going on in the world, it would seem ironic that this came out just now.
Adding that it is interesting that Jesus' celibacy is coming into question right after the film mocking Muhammad, accusing him of rape, etc., incited so many to protest.
Interesting but like others have said elsewhere, a writing made 400 years after Jesus death does not mean he did have a wife. Only that people of the era in which the text was written believed he did.
This changes a lot IMO, since Jesus was considered to be celibate.
I don't think that this papyrus will prove anything. As Buzz said, it was written 400 years after Jesus died. We can't seem to get the news right, 24 hours after it happens today. So, how accurate can documentation be which is 400 years old and passed down via word of mouth. It will be challenged, and likely dismissed. But, I do find it to be fascinating. Here is the article I read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...s-wife-_n_1891325.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular
I'll bet Mrs. J. Christ crucified him if he ever stayed out too late.
Yes, her name is Irina Lobacheva
There was a lot of supposition about this in Dan Brown's book the Da Vinci Code. I remember a lot of the fanatics being really upset about this, even though the book is fiction. I thought it was a fascinating read and made me really think. I had one friend refuse to even discuss the book because I mentioned that in it Jesus had a wife and daughter.
As far as I can tell, there is no true historical evidence that Jesus even existed, let alone had a wife.
Yes, it is related. The Copt's are one of the earliest Christian sects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copts#History
Too much of the context of the fragment is missing for it to be definitive that Jesus' "wife" was an actually woman or the church in a metaphorical context, so I'm not assuming anything here. Of more interest to me is the reference to discipleship. That could rock a boat or two.
At best it might prove the writer believed Jesus was married.
Since the church didn't exist in his time, how could Jesus refer to the church as his wife. He was a good Jew as best is known, and quite frankly, it was (and still is) a mitzvah to be married and have children. So I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he was. Since there is dearth of contemporary historical references to Jesus, anything is possible.
There are a bunch of non-canonical gospels out there. Coptic was the vernacular of Egypt then, so a lot of them are in Coptic.
Church may just be a way of referring to Christianity. Or wife may be referring to Judaism. I understand that being married is/was a blessing. I would have no problem accepting that Jesus had a wife and child. I would not see that as blasphemous at all. It was the Church's interpretation that he was celibate, there is no fact asserting that.
Thank you to the posts answering my Coptic question. I was not sure if the language existed outside of Egypt.
Is this mocking of Christianity going on here?
So perhaps the Da Vinci Code was right after all.
Lots to say (Karen King is a personal friend of mine btw). Just a few quick things: I would just point out that the contemporary emphasis on marriage in Judaism isn't paralleled to antiquity. Coptic is the ancient Egyptian language scripted in a hybrid Greek font. Just because a manuscript is relatively late doesn't mean it's necessarily reflecting the views of that time period. There are ways to read manuscripts to detect earlier traditions. Finally, there is more data attesting to the life of Jesus than many other historical figures in antiquity, so it's not really a matter of debate that he lived.
Maybe I misread a post or two. Where is there mocking of Christianity?
Oh, and church in Coptic would never have referred to Judaism. A better understanding would be followers of a Jesus-related tradition.
I have always asked the question - what difference does it make if Jesus had a wife and/or children? We know that he had to have participated in other basic human needs - like food, water (at the time wine), why not sex and physical love. Does not make him less of a teacher or someone who shared wisdom.
My religious beliefs are deep and highly personal, but I don't believe that either Jesus or God would want us to deny ourselves of one of the things that makes us human.
And we must remember that there are many, many letters, books that the Papal council decided whether or not to include them into the Bible.
Posts 6 and 7, milanessa. All in good fun, of course.
I admit I always bought the argument that being married made more sense for Jesus but certainly I don't know enough to think one way or the other.
Most of the known books which eventually formed the Bible as it is known today were taken from texts dating from this same time period (or later).
I don't think it is a big secret that the church of the time selectively choose which books to include in the Bible. Heck, less than 150 years ago the King James bible was revised and 15 books were dropped out.
Also, personally I don't think it's shocking to think that Jesus may have been married. It would have been expected in that era, and perhaps even arranged.
That is my take on the matter, also. Jesus, as I understand it, wanted to reform some aspects of Judaism.....he did not set out to start a Church and certainly not a new religion.
Although Jesus could have been a member of one of the many and competing sects of Judaism that then existed, an that sect could have espoused celibacy the reverse is equally plausible.
I thought the issue was whether on not he was the son of God, not whether or not he existed. Aren't there records showing his arrest and crucifixion? (I'm not an expert, by any means. I am willing to be corrected.)
Islam, for example, regards him as a great prophet, though not the son God.
Another non-expert but I thought the fact that Jesus existed is not disputed.
The Catholic church obviously has the most at stake here -- their rationale for requiring priests to be celibate (and male) is their assertion that that model is what's most "Christlike."
Never made sense to me either, though. How is abstaining from sex -- not to mention loving relationships, which they're supposed to be promoting -- make them better church leaders?
I think that there are many people who do not believe that Jesus existed, even on this board. I also believe that there are references in different religions to believe that Jesus was a great teacher, but not necessarily the Son of God and the Savior. As an example, see the reference on Buddists and Jesus.
I was interested in what experts think has the most supporting evidence. IIRC, experts say that Jesus' existence has very strong supporting evidence.
I thought they explained it by saying that the distractions of a family/dating life could take the focus away from their parishioners.
The only early "historical evidence," if you want to call it that, consists of Gospels (canonical or apocryphal) -- hardly a reliable, objective source of information. The earliest non-Gospel account of Jesus is in the writings of Josephus, dating to the 90's and relying on oral and written traditions.
I read this somewhere too. In Islamic religion, is there someone else considered to be the son of God, or just Mohammed?
Islam considers Mohammed to be the last prophet, not the son of God.

Hello everyone! So a few months back I had asked some of you about the WRX and based on everything I told you guys a lot of you suggested that I don't get a WRX and others really recommended it. Well today I went out and purchased a 2014 WRX base model with a few nice extra features including the short throw shifter, all weather floor mats, fog lights etc. It seems like a great car and the price was very fair! (I'm going to go pick it up this Tuesday)
Anyway I do have one question and that pertains to the fuel. Now in the owner's manual it states that the car runs on 91 octane but can temporarily use 87 octane. I understand that, but there is no mention of mid grade gas or 89 octane from where I am in NY. Can the WRX run on 89 octane? If so how will it hinder performance or the overall functionality of the car? It is a good idea to use 89 octane in a WRX? Is it safe? Will it damage the car in any way?
Thanks for your input

In Tuesday's "Shelter Lab " discussion, Edward M. Binkley, AIA, Randy Brown, FAIA, LEED AP, and Eric Naslund, FAIA, discussed the ways they experimented with their own homes and how their experimentation—largely on the cheap—informed later projects.
Using the materials and products offered at his local big-box home improvement store helped Binkley, of Oviedo, Fla.-based BSB Design, stick near his goal for his "Whistling Winds" home—a cost of $50 per square foot. The project was completed for about $80 per square foot. Nearly 80 percent of the products Binkley used throughout his 3,862-square-foot home were off-the-shelf purchases that created a modern interior with industrial touches, such as exposed structural members and connections, interior windows, mismatched light fixtures, and simple materials transformed into design features.
"Whistling Winds" taught Binkley the possibilities of off-the-shelf products and materials, and he carried the lesson over into several firm projects, including the 2007 New American Home, the Boomer House, and a workforce housing project outside Orlando, Fla., among others.
As many architects can attest to, being young in the profession and not "knowing any better" leaves the door open for innovation and risk taking experiences. Fifteen years ago, before San Diego-based Studio E Architects' Naslund knew what he couldn't achieve, he built his own experimental house: a one-room-wide, three-level building that wraps around a 60-year-old specimen tree in the back. Its light-filled interiors are oriented to the outdoors, and a rooftop deck offers views of the city, the bay, and the ocean. Naslund designed the one-room wide house for views and daylighting. Completing much of the work himself, Naslund used materials he admired for their inherent qualities, such as galvanized sheet metal (used as wall panels) and sheets of OSB and plywood cut, installed as flooring, and urethaned for an attractive sheen.
From his experimentation, Naslund learned to first "design the site" to take advantage of view exposures, natural light, and outdoor spaces; to ennoble cheap materials; to embrace the budget, no matter its size; to be place-specific in design; and to invite occupation and use through design. He applied these lessons to several later projects, including an award-winning multifamily affordable housing project; a transit-oriented development in Long Beach, Calif.; and a seven-story urban condo development.
Experimentation defines much of Omaha, Neb.-based Brown's architectural work, and his own residences are perhaps the most avant garde examples of his experimental design. Brown's first home experiment was the renovation of an existing 1970s-era passive solar residence into a live/work studio with an open floor plan on both levels. He spent a lot of time at his local home improvement store exploring the potential of off-the-shelf materials. With features like a pull-out conference table integrated into a room divider that continued up to a loft and terminated as the headboard of his bed, exposed plumbing supply lines in the bathroom, an illuminated toilet, and a knee-activated sink faucet salvaged from a dental office, the building served the secondary purpose of giving Brown's clients fair warning of exactly what kind of design they could expect from him.
Brown described the extensive and ongoing experiment that is his second and current house, named "Laboratory." A mixture of Brown's ideas and those of his University of Nebraska Lincoln students, "Laboratory" is just that: a test lab for any conventional material used in unconventional ways, as well as for unconventional and improvistational construction methods. Brown again depended on his local home improvement store for most of the materials, while the rest he obtained through "dumpster-diving" and by repurposing materials from the tear-down site. Although the project was officially completed two years ago, Brown says he and his family are planning to relocate the kitchen and reconfigure a few other rooms. And, he hinted, it will remain an ongoing laboratory for ideas.
Brown's takeaway lessons are, simply, to experiment, to work with existing context, and to trust your own competence and your own ideas. Finally, Brown added that there is no reward without a little—and sometimes a lot of—risk.

A detail that can often be overlooked is lighting. While it may not seem like the most important element of your decor, it sets the mood for your reception. It goes without saying that you should avoid any overhead florescent lighting. If that's all your venue has, ask them if you can bring in candles, string lights, or chandeliers. The lighting at your venue may already be exactly what you want, but if not, there are some ways you can improve the ambiance.
1. Hang a sheer backdrop against a plain wall with twinkle lights.
2. Rent or purchase chandeliers.
3. Drape white lights in a crisscross pattern with a simple chandelier in the middle.
4. Hire a professional light technician to create a spectacular design that fits with your theme/style.
5. Hang string lights from four posts to create a tented feel.

MLS • Real Salt Lake added another forward to its roster Wednesday, acquiring Ecuadorian attacker Joao Plata from Toronto FC in exchange for a second round pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
Plata, 20, has been playing in his native Ecuador after going on a six-month loan to LDU Quito in July. Toronto previously acquired Plata on loan from that very club before buying him outright last year.
The 5-foot-2 speedster scored 10 goals and added nine assists in 52 appearances for Toronto. Plata will travel with RSL to Irvine, Calif., Thursday for his first preseason training action with the team.
Yankees in talks to get DH Hafner
MLB • The Yankees are speaking with the agent for free agent Travis Hafner and may try to sign the 35-year-old to compete for time as a left-handed designated hitter.
Hafner spent the past decade with Cleveland and hit .228 with 12 homers and 34 RBIs last year. He would take over a role filled last year by Raul Ibanez, who left the Yankees to sign with Seattle.
• Shawn Kelley and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to a $935,000, one-year contract that avoids salary arbitration.
Griner breaks Big 12 scoring record
Women's college basketball • Baylor star Brittney Griner has broken the Big 12 women's career scoring record.
Griner scored the first four points in Wednesday night's game at Texas Tech, giving her 2,837 for her career. Oklahoma State's Andrea Riley was the record holder, scoring 2,835 points from 2007-2010.
The 6-foot-8 Griner hit a short jumper on Baylor's first possession, then made two foul shots.

"Telecommuting" and flexible work spaces are nothing new. I've worked from home, from public libraries, airport lounges, and even Sun Microsystem's iWork Cafes and drop-in centers for the past 10 years. Companies have been (and are increasingly) giving employees the flexibility to choose where they work. If someone wants to work from a cafe in the morning before a client meeting, reserve a table in the campus cafeteria for a chat with a colleague at noon, and work from a co-work or drop-in space near their child's daycare at the end of the day, they can do that. What is new is the ability to reserve all of those different workspaces with a single tool – and in real time.
I had a great discussion with the team from LiquidSpace yesterday to learn more about how they work. They provide a marketplace for those with work spaces to offer and individuals looking for alternative work sites. "Just as Open Table is a platform used by restaurants, we are a similar real-time platform for workplaces," explained Mark Gilbreath, the LiquidSpace CEO and co-founder. "We are not an owner of space. We are the tool to connect users and space." And, those workplaces can include both public spaces – such as hotel meeting rooms, executive suites like Regus or co-work spaces – as well as private spaces on a company's campus or meeting rooms within a residential building or development.

Investigators suspect Joshua Petersen had been planning to kill his baby son and himself for about a month, an American Fork police sergeant said Saturday.
Petersen has been cooperative with investigators since his arrest, though they're still trying to piece together his motive, Sgt. Greg Ludlow said. Petersen's family, some of whom had been living with him at the home, is "a very good one," he added.
Police say Petersen, 21, shot his 5-month-old son, Ryker Petersen in the head with a rifle on Friday afternoon at his home near 500 East and 500 North in American Fork, and a relative stopped him before he turned the gun on himself. Ryker was pronounced dead at a Salt Lake City hospital, and Petersen was booked into Utah County Jail on suspicion of aggravated murder, a first-degree felony.
Ryker's mother, Amanda Merrill Pilling, is devastated by the loss of her young son, her family said in a statement issued late Saturday.
"Her sweet baby Ryker was a treasure and she misses him immensely," the statement provided by family spokesman Milo Merrill said. "Our hearts go out to all of you who are suffering for the loss of baby Ryker, including the father's family. We cannot imagine how hard this must be for you and we send our love and support to you."
Pilling's family said they understand how it is "easy to jump to conclusions and judgment when a tragedy like this occurs," but said they believed all judgments should be left to God. The family also expressed their gratitude to those who have reached out to support them in their grief.
"We will not let this sadness consume us," the family said.
Petersen struggled with depression his whole life, but Ryker had been a source of happiness, Petersen's aunt Staci Zufelt said.
"He had trouble in school. He was just kind of a loner," Zufelt said. Then in late October, he became a father. Zufelt said when she saw Petersen, he usually had Ryker with him. She said he was happy around his son.
"He really loved his son," who was a "very happy boy," Zufelt said.
Petersen only saw Ryker a few hours a day, Zufelt said. Otherwise, the baby was with Pilling. Zufelt declined to comment on Petersen and Pilling's relationship. Posts on Petersen's Facebook account include pictures of his young son. In the weeks prior to the shooting, Petersen also posted multiple comments indicating he had been having a "bad day" but that being with his son made it better.
Conversely, some posts indicated that his mood also was affected negatively when he wasn't with Ryker.
"Not cool, I don't have my son," reads one post from Feb. 27
Zufelt had no idea if Petersen had contemplated suicide before.
Petersen has no criminal history, according to a search of Utah court records. Depending on the severity of the murder charge filed against Petersen and aggravating factors, Petersen could face anything from life in prison to the death penalty.
Pilling's family has planned a candlelight vigil for Ryker at 7 p.m. Sunday at 36 S. Jenks Ave. (140 West) in American Fork. Attendees are encouraged to bring candles and toys.
A Paypal account has also been set up to help the family give Ryker "an amazing funeral," according to a Facebook page about the vigil. Donations at Paypal are to be sent to email@example.com with "Baby Ryker" in the subject line.
Petersen is scheduled to go before a judge Monday to set his bail, Ludlow said.

As Raila Odinga, leader of the Orange Democratic Movement met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu from South Africa, President Kibaki of Kenya dug in his heels and insisted the election was fair and he was legally elected. Odinga discussed with Tutu the possibility of some form of mediation that might extricate his nation from the violence which has cost the lives of over 300 people. Secretary Rice and Prime Minister Gordon Brown have both suggested various names like former UN Secretary Koffi Annan or President John Kufor of Ghana. Odinga has indicated a willingness to accept either of these names, but, so far it is far from clear if President Kibaki will even entertain the notion of any review of election results. He ruled out the idea of a transitional government and told his opponents to "follow the law" and cease their complaints. His only concession is a willingness to have discussions with "concerned parties" when things have become quiet.
Kenya's Attorney General Amos Wako raised two possibilities for resolution of the conflict. One entailed creation of a National Unity Government and the other would ask an independent body to review election results. It appears that President Kibaki interprets mediation to mean having outside parties calm down his opponents, but he does not appear to regard having any role in reviewing what transpired in the blatant effort on his part to steal an election. As of the moment, he has not arranged any meeting with Tutu anymore than with those who oppose his arbitrary actions.

Australian virologist Frank Fenner, MD was born in Ballarat, Victoria in 1914. He earned a Doctor of Medicine in 1942 at the University of Adelaide, and from 1940 – 1946 he worked on the malaria parasite in Egypt and Papua New Guinea as an officer in the Australian Army Medical Corps. He subsequently began studying the pathogenesis of mousepox virus at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne. Later he was appointed Professor of Microbiology at the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University, where he continued his work on viruses, including myxoma virus. His interest in the balance between virus virulence and host resistance was put to practical use in an effort to control Australia's rabbit plague through the introduction of myxoma virus.

Pretty good reviews (4.3 out of 5.0) over at toysrus.com
Lets watch this overview
Can I race people in these, and shoot colored shells at them?
Kett-Cars are awesome! We have owned 5 and still have 4. The frames vary in size (I have seen small, med, and large). The smaller ones have rubber treaded plastic tires and the large ones like this Woot have pneumatic ones. My son has outgrown the smallest one which was gifted away, but he still enjoys the mid size ones.
I have 2 of the larger pneumatic ones, older versions of this Woot, and at 5'9", 155 lbs, I can fit on them and race my son, albeit lose.
The gear shifter allows freewheeling downhill and the brakes work well. Handling is superb - corners like it's on rails with responsive hook-and-groove steering.
These last forever and are easy to tinker with and tune-up if you're somewhat mechanical or have experience with bikes. Other than rust there's not much that can go wrong, and I do advise storing them indoors when not in use.
Best of all they're kid-powered and great exercise! They are expensive but German engineered and high quality. However I don't need another.
Oh my! My kids encountered these pedal cars at a campground this summer and have been begging me for one ever since. They had a blast riding and racing them around the Jellystone Speedway in Hagerstown MD. They must be durable, as these were the exact ones used and abused there.

Thanks for posting the video but wish the narrator spoke English because I don't understand Swedish ;-)
We have this one upping contest with the neighbors. They bought a big wheel, we bought a razor rip rider, they bought a razor rip rider that sparks... do you think this would mean we won?

Possibly, but this one would be better:
You don't brake using a bar that rubs the tire, like the woot one. You brake using the pedals like kids' bicycles.

On this Pedal Car you can brake two ways, one with the Hand Brake the other with the pedals.
These have been around for so long. My cousin had them when they were kids, they're now in their mid to late 20's. The hand brake works awesome. We used to pull e-brake turns all the time. The thing with back pedal brakes is that if the vehicle builds a lot of momentum, e.g. a steepish hill, it can be hard to engage that back pedal motion to stop. The forward momentum can kick your feet forward. Being able to grab a hand brake means they can slow it down and control it a little better. Just my 2c.
I have bought several used Kett cars for my boy ranging in size. They are absolutely the best!
Bought an older version of this Kettler on Craigslist. Extremely well made; expect it would last generations. Free-wheeling feature is amazing, and one of the best reasons to buy it. Adjustable seat allows even medium-sized adults to ride it... umm... 'test the course for safety' (I'm 6', 180lb). Works great on long, gradual slope; especially if it starts with a short steep to build momentum more quickly.
Downside? Pedal/gearing doesn't seem to have very much mechanical advantage, and the thing is kinda heavy. Forget any uphill pedalling.
Guess I need to think about some sort of rope tow device to get us back up the hill...
I picked up an older one of these at a garage sale for a steal. It's probably 20 years old but it's built like a tank and will probably last another 100 with some care lol.
My kids love it.

Happy to hear that you would like to build a mag-trim.
1) If 1/4" magnets are good, would the 1/2" ones be even better, especially for taller items; or is 1/4" more than sufficient?
The 1/4" magnets have quite strong pull when stuck to the steel. In fact three would have probably done the job. However, they are easily adjusted into place by dragging starting with a bit of a twist.
2) Have you made the extension rods for taller items yet, and will they fit within your current wood squares?
I hope to use 1/4" dowels plugged into a 45deg. block that will glue to the top of present blocks. Maybe next week if all goes well.
3) You suggest countersinking the magnets, and they do appear sunken to the surface of the wood in one photo. Countersinking would provide more protection for the magnets I would imagine; but in the last photo, there appears to be a space between the paper and the top piece of wood, suggesting the magnets may be glued onto the surface of the wood. This would seem to be easier than trying to align counter-sunk holes with the magnets resting on the tacks. Am I mis-reading the photos? (Perhaps the third photo shows the initial process before the magnetic attractiveness inspired the last photo????
I started out with countersink, but it was a job to get the right depth not having the proper tools. I know many guys out there didn't think to marry girl carpenters being interested in other skills, so to make the project easy I gave up countersinking and just epoxy the magnets to the blocks. The down side is the magnets scratch the surface of the tin plate which in time may be a rust issue. I've thought of a couple coats of water-base-poly on the tin may offset that, but have not tried it. See attached photo, and BTW, don't forget to use the wax-paper on the jig.
BTW#2, for those of you who are selling casseroles like hot cakes, I should mention that Bailey has two versions of a magnetic system for about $90 that looks very nice and professional, but very impersonal. See link:
Thanks for your kind comments.

single plane intake vs dual plane
Here is my question: I have a 318 that is currently using a dual plane intake that is an edlebrock. I have the opertunity to purchase a wieland single plane intake for 100.00. What should I do. The car is a high rev motor. I mean I have set my shift points around 6500 to 7000 rpm and the motor likes it
Here is the build sheet:
Aluminum edlebrock heads 2.02 int 1.60 eht
Purple shaft cam power is built from 2600-7000rpm
Cam lift .509 292 dur
flattop pistons around 10.25 to 1
2500 stall converter
manual valve body in the trans
Smaller pindulim gear to make different sizing in first and second gear in the trans
3.55 gear
spooled in the rear.
750 holley
hooker headers equal length 1.78 inch
2 flow masters with a h pipe
And a fluid damper
engine should dyno around 400 to 450 hp
I guess the guestion is will this intake make a difference only at the top end or will this help out as far as low end? When I ran the set up on the computer I showed that the single plane would give more hp at a lower rpm but I just wanted to know if any one has had any experience wiht this in there car? The car though need some more ummph it acts a little sluggish from a dead stop then picks up pretty good but it has a hard time launching!!! I mean i can spin the tires in the shift between first and second and then bark them going from second to third. Any IDEAS????? My problem is I am always looking for more!!!! Joel
If its slow off the line with a dual plane, itll be slower with a single plane. Basically, youll loose low end power and torque, but it makes up for it big time in the upper rpm range. Since your cam is rated from 2600-7000, i say go for the single plane, most dual planes fall off at 6000-6500. You might want a lower gear ratio and maybe a higher stall converter to make up for the extra slugishness off the line though.
if it don`t have much grunt from take off, a single plane is only going to make it worse. for your combition, a single plane would be beneficial in the mid and upper rpm ranges as your engine has. but on the street it`s not horsepower that moves all that sheet metal, it`s torque. you can bet the single plane is going to cost you a 10 to 15 ft lb drop in the lower rpm ranges and if horsepower increased in this same area it`s not gonna help it any. it`s your car and your call, lower gears or a higher stall maybe needed with the single plane intake, as well as the fact you have a small cubic inch engine which with high RPM isn`t gonna have much low end to start with. if your racing it in the 1/8 of a mile, anyone with torque and decent gears is gonna eat your lunch. also keep in mind if you go with a single plane, one cylinder is drawing off the entire mass under the carb, so less cfm is acceptable and would likely be beneficial. your call. good luck.
with the gearing in the trans changed i had the trans shop figue out the increase with the differnet gearing in the trans in relation with the rear gear. he figured it at 4.10 on first and about 3.73 in second and 355 on third I am also running 24 inch tires. Im guessing that maybe a higher stall is in the plan just have to try to talk the woman into letting me spend another 700 dollars. Joel
try different springs in your distributor, you can make a huge difference in the throttle response by doing a little fine tuning. also try different jets in your carb
Well I would like to recurve the dist but it is a mopar and there seems not be a kit avaliable. souupsedly the dist is already recurved from the fact. But as far a rejetting I am thinking of scrapping the 750 holley and buying a demond 750 that will handle the 292 duration cam. I am in love with mechanical secondaries!!!! Im not a big fan on vaccum!!! ( I hardly pull down 7 hg at an idle) But I think it has some thing to do with the carb or the intake. Joel

text: My girlfriend wanted a new car to replace her 2008 Civic coupe. The only cars she was intersted in was another Civic or the Fiat 500. We headed over to the local dealer and she found a blue 500 sport with all the options that she wanted and took it for a test drive. She fell in love and ended up getting the car for under sticker price. While she was doing the paper work the salesman came over and handed me the keys to the Abarth that they had on the lot and said to have fun. I loved the Abarth, the exhaust note was intoxicating and the driving experience put a huge smile on my face, it reminded me of my mk1. I really like the car, here it is

Hey Fellas,Tomorrow I'm going to install my Cobra pipes and was wondering if there is anything to watch out for. Seems like it should be fairly simple but thought I would seek advice from some of the great wrenches on the site.
Those look really great! I can't wait to see the completed pics of your bike. Thanks for posting.

Eat Mussels
You'd think their briny sweetness would be all the reason we need to celebrate mussels, as well as other seafood that's low on the food chain, like oysters and clams. Well, there's more. Mussels are off the charts for vitamin B12, and high in iron, protein, even vitamin C.

Gold-Plated Sterling Silver Chains
For years, we grappled with ways to enhance our necks. We tried everything: Noodles, HDMI cables, Gracile chimpanzees, truck tires, discarded medical equipment, sausage links, ferns, a bunch of bananas, a rat king ... we could go on for days. Anyway, at one point, our buddy Trevor was like, "What about a necklace?" Our social calendar has been a lot busier since then.

Should apear to be about 1/8" thick...and as far as sanding sand it with 100-600 grits to remove the sheen...
Would also like to see some detailed answers here
I use the dremel to get most of the extra plastic off and the sand by hand to get it smooth. Just be careful with the dremel. You don't want to remove to much. Sandpaper wise start with a heavier grit to a finer one.i used an 80 to get it where I want it then 120 to smooth the edges. I didn't sand anything else on my knees. Hope this helps some.

Computer programming is an art form. The best artists have always used their skills to benefit humanity.
Open Source projects are pervasive these days. If you visit a website, chances are the webserver being used is Apache, the operating system for that machine is Linux, and there are web programs written in Perl.
Without projects like these, some of the more successful and ruthless companies would have an even tighter stranglehold on how we all use computers.
These are photos of some of the people who attended the 5th Annual O'Reilly Open Source conference. Many of these people have helped to create computer languages, programs, or companies that have had far reaching effects.
Even if you're not a geek, the work done by the Open Source community has probably benefitted you in more ways then you know.
Julian Cash took the photos, cleaned images where needed, and created the XML document for Spider Eyeballs.
Cory Bennett did half the work at the event (and lots afterwords). He did a complete rewrite of the Spider Eyeballs image gallery program.

I would assume a good 22db+ ears would work fine.
What would be the best ear protection to buy before using the Desert Eagle Mark XIX .50 AE (7 round capacity). The reason I'm asking is because I don't want to destroy my hearing.
I would assume a good 22db+ ears would work fine.
When I shoot my hardball matches. I use foam earplugs with a good set of muffs, called double plugging. I have a set of Radians electronic muffs and they work great. they are rated at 26 db. The foam pluges are rated at 29 db. Very effective.
When I shoot mine, I just use foam earplugs. Sometimes I use Ruger muffs either way it reduces dBs. Hopefully you won' need but a few shots. Usually one mag and I feel better the whole day.
When I used to shoot mine I used either foam plugs or electronic muffs. If you're that worried use plugs and muffs.
Check out this thread.
Some guy at my local range was firing off his Barrett .50 and my muffs worked fine.
Are you planning on loading for your 50AE? I have around 1000 rounds of brass and 1000 hard cast bullets sitting here.

I remember when a good EG Makarov sold for about $150 but now run over $350. I CCW a EG Mak myself:
Actually have a few EG, Bulgarian and Russian Maks:
One handgun that I believe to be a good survival gun is the Makarov. This was the Russian Armys handgun for many years. They were also made in a number of Communist satellites countries such as East Germany, Bulgaria, China, and several others. These are quality and dependable guns. They were partially copied from the German Walther PP. They are available for fairly reasonable prices.
They come in the caliber 9X18. That means the bullet diameter is 9MM (.363) and the case length is 18 MM. It fits between the 9MM Luger (9x19) and the American .380 (9x17). It is probably the minimum that I would want to use for self defense. But, it has been in use for many years and has stood the test of time.
It comes with an eight round single stack magazine. With one in the chamber, that will give you 9 shots. There is ample jacketed ammo available at this time. I would recommend 1,000 minimum ( that goes for any TSHTF firearm). But, for serious work I would recommend that it be loaded with Hornadys Critical Defense ammo. That would make this gun a lot better defensively.
Another good feature of this pistol is that there is a replacement barrel available which is chambered in .380. That way, if the Communist ammo becomes unavailable, you can change the barrel (a special tool is needed) to an American caliber and keep shooting.
The Makarov is a smaller gun. It is thin enough to carry in a pocket. It weighs around 1.5 pounds. It would be a good gun for a woman. It would be a good concealed carry weapon. I would feel very well armed if I had to carry it for self defense. It has both double and single action and has a hammer drop decocker. That is so that you can decock it without worrying that it might accidently fire.
All in all, I believe that this gun would serve a survivalist very well. The prices are generally around $200 or so.

Love my EG maks, but i don't shoot them
i see them here FL they run about $ 400
some body last week sent me a e-mail sale promotion selling brand new EG mak mags they were $25 or $25 a piece heck i used to get them for $8,
dealerwarehouse sells the parts kits, good to have if you have a few of these
not a walther copy so much, probably as much as a ak is a copy of a stg44

EG MAK is my carry. A brace of CZ 82s are for home defense. All use the same ammo.

I didn't check, but I guess the current gun buying frenzy is sending all prices skyward. I still like my Makarov and it will be near by the rest of my life. And, Black Blade, I love your collection. I'm a little envious.
Go to the C&R section and look at his CZ82 collectionI love your collection. I'm a little envious.
Here's one of his threads, check out page two
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
I think that the CZ82 is a fine firearm. However, I have never had the opportunity to handle one. It shoots the same ammo as the Makarov 9x18. I would like to have a couple of them if they came along at the right price. I assume the current frenzy has pushed prices skyward!
They are nice, basically the same size as a MAK but with a fatter grip since it uses a double stack mag.
I haven't looked recently to see if anyone still have them, but for a price reference they were around $220 before the panic started and they are C&R.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
I love the Makarov, but I'm more of a CZ man. The CZ82 and 83 are great inexpensive CCW weapons. Now after seeing BB's collection (thank you Coils) I'm BEYOND jealous!!!! LOL.

Man hit and killed by train in Monument
MONUMENT, Colo. - El Paso County authorities are investigating after a man hit and killed by a train late Tuesday night.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said authorities were called by the train conductor to the scene just after 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. The conductor told police he thought he hit someone.
When they arrived, they found a man dead near Park Trail Drive and Blizzard Valley Trail. The sheriff's office said the man's injuries were consistent with him being hit by a train.
Now, investigators are trying to figure out exactly why the man was on the tracks.
"We're trying to determine if this was a person trying to be on the railroad tracks in an act of suicide versus some other circumstances," El Paso County Lt. Jeff Kramer said. "We hope to reach those types of conclusions as the investigation continues."
The train company, Santa Fe Southern Railway, also has investigators on the scene.

Boat upholstery is the easiest thing you will ever tackle. If you are comfortable with an industrial sewing machine, you have 90% of what you need to do what you want to do. If you are not comfortable with the machine, sew simple things (straight, flat seams) until you are not afraid of the sewing machine. An industrial machine goes 5 times faster than a home sewing machine, so it takes a lot of experience to get to a comfort level.
You can't learn to do upholstery work from a book. You need to learn, hands on, while running the sewing machine, preferably from someone who knows what they are doing. Given that that isn't going to happen, this is my advise.
The problem most beginners have is assuming what they take apart, and make patterns from, is perfect, and don't know if it is perfect or not. The reality is ( especially with boat upholstery) is that what you take apart was produced on an assembly line and sewed together by people who are paid on incentive by how many pieces they can sew together the fastest, and by people who cut the material and don't care how close they cut to the pattern lines because they are paid the same way.
Learn how to use the sewing machine first, and then start your project.
I have found it best to just gather myself up and go sew something and you do not have to use the best material for a couple of practice projects to get your self back into the swing and for getting used to the machine..
Re-upholster boat - first project - tips?
I'm gearing up to tackle my first upholstery project - I am re-upholstering a ski boat . I plan to use the existing upholstery as pattern. I purchased an older Adler 267 that I'm trying to figure out how to use. Have marine grade vinyl, monel rustproof staples (for marine work) and have read Automotive Upholstery Handbook by Don Taylor. Still a little scared to get started though! I'm wondering if anyone has tips, suggestions, other helpful instruction books, etc. I do have sewing experience, but mainly garment/quilt piecing and quilting with a long-arm quilting machine but really know very little about this type of work.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
How do you like your "SVT kit"? Is the drop what you wanted/expected? Is it comfortable/bearable for a DD? I have the FRPP springs with Koni STRTs and they are just too stiff for the @#*%$#* roads in northern New England. I love the drop, but hate the ride. Does anyone know the difference between the ST (05) suspension and the SVT?
Also I've gone up to 22mm front and 25mm rear sway bars, does that add harshness?
|Posted via FF MobileGot the m3000 zx3a kit coming, SVT springs and shocks w/mounts - no swaybar. from what you mentioned, the zxm1 may be the 1.75 drop for later models, zx3a springs the 1.5 for later models. zxm springs - 1.5 for earlier models should work for me if I want lower then, without changing shocks, because I want performance from a reasonably comfortable driver for now as well... SVT should be a nice improvement, should be here this wk. from Steve (ordered thursday) Had planned on your setup, wimped out one day when my back was sore, trying SVT first... Thanks for posting your details, cuts out the guesswork as to which softer shock works....
|Sailor, my "kit" from Hilbish consists of the M-18000-ZX3B dampers and the M-5560-ZX3B springs combo, not the ZXM-1 parts. Gives a drop right about 1.5 inches. Understood when I ordered that the ZXM-1 parts would sit a bit lower and ride a bit firmer, which was more than I needed in a DD suspension.
|Great write-up, wish I had seen it sooner, but it still allays My fears.
|took me about 3 to 4 days
|anyone who ordered springs shocks wheels etc from Tousley? i was wondering how long it took?
The shocks used in both the SVT Kits and FRPP Kits appear to be the same. That was essentially the basis of my original research. Those who bought the FRPP "kits" received the same shock part numbers as those who ordered the SVT kits. Over a dozen FF members confirmed this by sending me both part numbers on boxes and those stamped on the shocks themselves. The only variance was that some folks ordered the FRPP kits with the Dynamic by Tokico shocks which are suppose to be considerably firmer than the SVT shocks (they were intended and designed after all for Spec Focus racing...so that's to be expected). It's hard to confuse these shocks with the SVT ones as there's a big sticker that says something like "Dynamic made by Tokico" on the shock body. They also appear to have a slightly bigger shaft than the SVT's as well (but not to be confused with the enormous shafts found on the Dynamic Multimatics inverted design struts).
|Posted via FF MobileSchucks, pollute away, it`s nice to see a thread calm down.... FWIW, the "kits" referred to have been made up by dealers in my understanding except for the one shock & spring combo (multimatic) Geezer mentions. I`m betting Hilbisch (and poss. others) as Steve didn`t mention it to you, unless the 1.5 vs.1.75 issue threw him off as well... Seen the ZXM springs listed both ways at different times and places, wondering if 1.5 isn`t used just to differentiate these from 2" drop from aftermarket suppliers other than Ford in general conversation. Or if 1.5 is closer to actual measured drop from users In any case, the "harsh" reports I`ve seen refer to the shocks used, not the springs, wish I could remember a member who used the softer shocks with the ZXM springs to confirm... Possibly ChrissyLIt would be nice to confirm this for myself as well, since changing springs alone for the larger drop would be an option for me if the SVT drop doesn`t feel like enough once I try it...
Actually, I do not disagree with your post, I think it is great!
I got the 1.75 from FRPP catalog:
M-5560-ZXM1* 2006-07 Focus except wagonI just wanted to share my conversation I had with Steve this morning. I had cash in hand ready to buy and he said he had no such option for a 1.5" drop using a kit for my 2005.
It sounds like you are suggesting a mix of the M-5560-ZXM springs with the SVT strut package is what many people are running...? Are these springs indeed pretty nice riding? I don't think this is the $300 price range people are always throwing around.
Anyhow, I'll ask my questions in another thread as I do not want to pollute this one anymore. Your thread is very accurate, and has been very helpful. I thank you for taking the time to pull the info together.
|Posted via FF Mobile Comfort is relative, harsh to me might be soft to you - Im personally being conservative and trying SVT kit first, even though many are happy with 1.5 drop and the "softer" shocks avail. , calling that a good ride as opposed to the "stiffer" shock option or something lower & stiffer from another source... Rotozuk , I wonder if pricing confused you with the options as many have commented recently on cheaper SVT kits - SVT type for newer cars were listed cheaper than the kits for our older ones when I shopped Tousley`s site last week, maybe I`ve just read & shopped enough B4 being ready to order that I recognized the SVT type kits for what they were without the site stating that specifically.... And just because they were listed in Tousley`s Ford Racing Parts section didn`t make it an FRPP kit.... As the LOWER kit is defined here on FF. I suppose you could be pedantic and say that they`re all FRPP kits, but the ones that match the performance of the stock SVT are better referred to as SVT kits....Geezer did well to define the parts and kits as they existed when he made the listing, right now most posters are trying to figure what works on newer cars, not the older ones so references you see on FF are often for them! Asking for advice and input to see if something is avail. to fit your desired outcome might get you further than complaining about a situation that doesn`t exist! In In over two years since I got my Focus and started on the forum, i haven`t YET seen anyone refer to an SVT setup as an FRPP kitConfusion is all on your part...
