I've been lurking here for a few days and I thought I'd say hello. I am not new to armor as I have a troopable stormtrooper and clonetrooper. I am also assembling a republic commando. I joined TDH because after reading the Republic Commando books my wife decided she wants a custom female mando and of course wants me to put it together for her.
Any advice on where to start would be great!

Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2012
|Climed the wedgie! Great climb, better rock than Milwaukee. I stayed right of the Wedgie, about 10 feet, and made for a nice 5.5 on solid rock.

|From Milwaukee. Class 3 if you're careful. Trip report.
|Posted May 25, 2012 5:48 pm
|Via The Wedgie
Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2010
|Traversed from Milwaukee and contoured across to the prominent V slot formation on the east face. Climbed up The Wedgie, a prominent gully on the n.e. face featuring sustained class 3/4 scrambling. Highly recommended, just stick close together as there is some loose rock to deal with.

|Traverse from Milwaukee
Date Climbed: May 29, 2006
|Camped high in Cottonwood Creek and climbed Milwaukee, Pico Asilado & UN 13020 the day after tackling the Crestone Traverse. I actually enjoyed this climb better and found the scrambling to be a bit more difficult. Note that this was a low snow year in the Sangres and the end of May may be too early for this route in a normal year.

|Route Climbed: The Wedgie Date Climbed: July 23, 2005
|After making the traverse from Milwaukee Peak's summit, we climbed the righthand of two prominent cracks on Pico's east face. This route entailed some third and fourth class. It's an elegant line that takes you all the way to the summit (literally a few steps away!), and avoids the routefinding difficulties on the ledges and gullies that people usually engage further north on the face. We continued the traverse to UN 13,020 before returning to Cottonwood Creek. A trip report is available here.
|Posted Jul 25, 2005 1:23 pm

|Did this one with Jim in a cloudy haze from a wildfire down in NM. Stunning views of the Crestones. Pico was on my to do list for about two years, it's nice to finally visit that summit.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TaS, Jan 6, 2009.
Yes, we are heavily skewed at the top.
Ernie, if you're going to insist upon paying attention to details, we'll never get anywhere! ;)
Are there other teams like that? I'm not good with numbers (or facts & languages).
There are some teams where every player with significant minutes is in the -. The amazing thing is that we are close to breakeven as a team (down about 1 point per game), yet we only have 2 guys who are significantly above breakeven.
SHEED'S FREE THROW MAKES (adjusted to 82 games per season) 2000- 236 2001- 261 2002- 209 2003- 222 ---------- joined Pistons 2004- 188 2005- 141 2006- 139 2007- 118 2008- 122 2009- 96 This year he is on pace to end up with 50% of the free throw makes that he had in '04. Either he is not giving it his all or his energy level is rapidly deteriorating. He's still been a great defensive player for us, but his offense has fully evolved to the perimeter. I just think back to MC's quote at the beginning of the year that basically said that the reason that Sheed isn't mixing it up is because his conditioning needs to improve. MC's plan was to make sure the conditioning improved that Sheed produced more in the post/ paint. That goal seems to have been abandoned after about 5 minutes into the first game of the year.
I did a little research into our revolving starting lineups this season, mainly because Roscoe asked someone to, but also because I was interested. It turned into the following results: Starting Lineups-------------Games--Wins--Why?---------------Opponents Tay, Sheed, AJ, Rip, CB--------2------2---AJ made starter----IND, WAS Tay, Sheed, AJ, Rip, Stuck-----2------2---CB out, Stuck in---@CHA, @TOR Tay, Sheed, AJ, Rip, AI--------3------1---AI in--------------@NJ, BOS, @SAC Tay, Sheed, Kwame, Rip, AI-----7------4---Go big?------------@GS, @LAL, @PHO, CLE, @BOS, -------------------------------------------------------------MIN, NYK Tay, Sheed, Kwame, Rip, Stuck--1------1---AI benched---------MIL Tay, Sheed, Kwame, Rip, AI-----4------1---AI back------------POR, @SAS, PHI, @NYK Tay, Sheed, Rip, AI, Stuck-----8------5---Small ball---------@WAS, IND, @CHA, WAS, UTH, -------------------------------------------------------------@ATL, CHI, OKC Tay, Sheed, AJ, AI, Stuck------3------3---Rip injured--------@MIL, ORL, NJN Tay, AJ, Kwame, AI, Stuck------5------3---Sheed injured------SAC, @LAC, @POR, @DEN, @UTH Tay, Sheed, Rip, AI, Stuck-----5------1---Rip/Sheed back-----CHA, @IND, @OKC, NOR, @MEM Tay, Sheed, AJ, AI, Stuck------2------1---Rip bench----------TOR, DAL Tay, Sheed, Kwame, AI, Stuck---1------0---Who knows?---------HOU Tay, Sheed, AJ, AI, Stuck------5------3---Who knows?---------@MIN, BOS, CLE, MIA, @MIL Tay, Sheed, Kwame, AI, Stuck---1------0---Who knows?---------PHO Tay, Sheed, AJ, AA, Stuck------1------0---AI flu-------------@CHI Tay, Sheed, AJ, AI, Stuck------1------0---AI back------------ATL Tay, Sheed, Dice, AI, Stuck----5------0---Dice in SL---------MIL, SAS, @CLE, @MIA, @NOR Tay, Sheed, Dice, Rip, Stuck---1------1---Rip in SL----------@ORL Totals:---------------------------------57------28 Total lineup changes---------------------17 Lineup changes due to trade--------------2 Lineup changes due to injuries/return----5 Lineup changes due to discipline---------1 Other------------------------------------9 Lineup Results:---------------Games-Wins--Win% Tay, Sheed, AJ, Rip, CB---------2-----2---100.0% Tay, Sheed, AJ, Rip, Stuck------2-----2---100.0% Tay, Sheed, AJ, Rip, AI---------3-----1---33.3% Tay, Sheed, Kwame, Rip, AI------11----5---45.5% Tay, Sheed, Kwame, Rip, Stuck---1-----1---100.0% Tay, Sheed, Rip, AI, Stuck------13----6---46.2% Tay, Sheed, AJ, AI, Stuck-------16----10--62.5% Tay, AJ, Kwame, AI, Stuck-------5-----3---60.0% Tay, Sheed, Kwame, AI, Stuck----2-----0---0.0% Tay, Sheed, AJ, AA, Stuck-------1-----0---0.0% Tay, Sheed, Dice, AI, Stuck-----5-----0---0.0% Tay, Sheed, Dice, Rip, Stuck----1-----1---100.0% It's difficult to interpret this data reliably. The most effective lineup was Tay, Sheed, AJ, AI, Stuck. This is the only lineup that was above 50% while playing enough games to make the sample size large enough for any significance. Most of the other lineups weren't tried often enough to be able to get reliable sample sizes. One interesting fact is that when Rip and Stuckey start with Tay as a small forward, we are undefeated. This has only happened 4 times so far, though, so I think we are about to get a better idea of whether this is a good idea. I am optimistic. The main thing we can draw from this is that Curry has made 9 unforced lineup changes this season. In 17 weeks, that is almost one change every 2 weeks. We've played 57 games in 17 weeks - a little over 3 games per week on average. So that converts to approximately one lineup change every 6 games. That's only the unforced ones, i.e., conscious decisions by MC to change the lineup. Due to trades and injuries, etc, the lineup changed another 8 times. That's 17 total lineup changes in 17 weeks, about 1 per week, or one every three games! Is it any wonder that as a team we seem discombobulated? If Curry stays consistent to his inconsistency, and assuming there are no more injuries or trades to force Curry to change the lineup, over the rest of the season (7 weeks) the lineup can be expected to change another 3 or 4 times. I'll set the over/under at 2. Any takers?
LOL, I was just copying and pasting that CJ! Thanks again for your hard work.
No problem. You probably could have gotten it posted a lot faster than it took me to format everything nicely. But at least it's there.
Damn good post! It's funny how injuries have allowed MC to do things that he wanted to do anyways, but didn't have the guts.
I think it's funny that Curry has yet to start Maxiell.
That is weird. I knew that when Amir was taken out of the starting lineup he would end up behind Maxiell. It's like MC just likes Max off the bench. He must think that he's good in short stints with high energy... which is probably true.
Max is lousy rebounding. Against Bos, he didnt have a single defensive board in 17 minutes.
kwame didn't have a single o OR d board in 8 minutes
Kwame played?
Kwame played, had no rebounds and hit 2 free throws? Insane. Has anyone looked outside to see if cats and dogs are mating?
so the pistons are doing lot of experimentation on the starting line up. Anyone knows which team had the most starting line up experimentation during one season? is it possible that MC is going for a record???
Didn't Max hit all his too?
Curry uses injuries as fuel for benchings. Rips Starting !!! AI on IR
Stuckey and Rip combo. When on the court together, they were: +16 against Orlando +14 against Boston + 7 against Denver Overall, both players have been in positive territory as a whole for all 3 games. Rip: +14, +20, even= +34. RS: +15, +14, + 9 = +37! Next closest is Tay: +5, +11, +12 = +28.
Separate names with a comma.

Hello Dhamma friends. Have anyone of you heard of the so-called "Oseberg Buddha" from Norway?
"One of the most interesting Oseberg discoveries is the so-called Buddha-bøtte or Buddha bucket. It is a pail with two identical figures forming the joints of the pail handle. Both figures represent a man seated in the Lotus position. His head is flat. His face with closed eyes has a peaceful and sunken expression. The man's breast is ornamented with red and yellow champlevé enamel as well as panels of millefiori. Four swastikas on the enamel decoration have the shape common in the Buddhist tradition, in which this symbol represents auspiciousness and good fortune."

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II
Further readings for the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've tested a total of 83 fixed focal length prime lenses on the D3400, including both FX-mount full-frame lenses, as well as the DX-mount optics that are specifically designed for use on the APS-C D3400. These lenses cover a vast range of focal lengths, from an ultra wide-angle 14mm for fitting lots into the frame, through to a super-telephoto 600mm focal length that offers a whopping 900mm equivalent on the D3400 (taking account of the Nikon 1.5x APS-C crop factor).
In part 2 of our "best lenses for the Nikon D500" review, we look at some of the highest-scoring DX-format zoom lenses. There are many more DX zoom lenses available for the D500 compared to primes. Zooms are a more popular lens choice for many APS-C shooters who are often looking for a more convenient and versatile multi-purpose lens.
Nikon's latest flagship FX-mount, full-frame DSLR — the D5 — is a performance powerhouse, featuring a new 153-point autofocus system and 12 fps burst shooting of up to 200 14-bit RAW files. Designed for the traditional customer base of sports, press and wildlife pros demanding top performance, the D5's increased 20.8Mp resolution and enhanced low-light capabilities has further broadened the D5's appeal. As well as boasting enough pixels for advertising, magazine, and even landscape photography, the D5's image quality improvements at the mid-ISO 1600–12,800 range will interest a range of professionals looking for great results in low light.
In Part 2 of "Best lenses for the Nikon D750" we're looking at the performance of primes on Nikon's latest full-frame DSLR. We've analyzed over 60 fixed-focal-length lenses on the D750, including Nikon's own Nikkor brand and third-party alternatives. Covering focal lengths from 14mm through to 600mm, the scores include some of the best results our technicians have ever recorded.
With a strap line of 'Fill your frame, not your bag' Nikon has launched a small and portable F-mount 300mm telephoto lens for sports and wildlife photographers. Boasting a new 'Phase Fresnel' element, Nikon claim they've effectively reduced the bulk and weight of this latest telephoto prime without degrading image quality. Let's take a closer look.
In this second installment of lens recommendations for the Nikon D810, we've been analyzing the best performing models for landscape and wildlife photography. Admittedly when it comes to fast-paced photography there are better choices in Nikon's range but there's always a case for high-resolution imagery but the Nikon D810 also serves to highlight the best performing models, and particularly in the longer focal lengths where it's more common (and often more practical) to use cameras with lower pixel densities.
Nikon's mid-term refresh of the firm's hugely popular D800 and D800E models resulted in a single model, the D810. Like the D800E it aims to maximize the resolution of the full-frame 36-Mpix CMOS sensor and omits a modified AA filter completely. We've analyzed the image quality of over 100 different lenses mounted to the new camera to discover how well this new model performs.
Aimed at professional studio and landscape photographers, the full-frame 36-Mpix D800E with its modified AA filter effectively increasing resolution over the standard D800 model is the closest 35mm full-frame camera yet to rival larger formats in rendering fine detail. If you're undecided over which of the two models to choose, we've analyzed the image quality of the Nikon D800E with over 100 different lenses to discover how well this groundbreaking camera performs.
Following on the from the lens recommendations for the new mid-range DX format Nikon D5300, we've now completed the assessment of the full-frame Nikon Df. We've tested the camera with more than 90 Nikkor and third-party prime lenses and zooms to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the new camera.
Following on from the lens recommendations for the earlier full-frame Nikon D600, we've now had the opportunity to assess a wide range lenses with that model's replacement, the 24-Mpix D610. We've analyzed a total of 95 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models with the D610 to assess image quality, and we've come across some unexpected results. Read on to find out more about that and which lenses perform best when paired with the camera.

Testing of D7100, D5200 and D3200
As mentioned earlier take a chill pill. And take more photos and read less reviews. You have pro-level cameras (when compared to what was available just 5 years ago). If you like the images that you are producing then there is nothing to worry about. If you don't, first check to make sure your technique is up to snuff, and if it is go buy something else you really think is better (and of course tested, you wouldn't want to have any further doubts).
I love reading these tests and they can help guide me to 'value' lenses. I waited for months to see the D600 lens reviews and the results were no surprise. You can see it in the images if you have been shooting for a few years and still have your older lenses and camera bodies for comparison.

Re: d7100 & 5200
I hope you are not right, but that's why we need to see the test results. It is possible that for some reason DXoMark avoids posting the results. They choose to post lenses that cost $10,000 for Nikon, but not posting results for majority users for months. DXoMark is just asking to start questioning their integrity.
Added by Emilie_DxOMark | July 23 , 2013
Re: d7100 & 5200
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
We are late. We try to assess the new cameras as first priority. And then we perform measurement on other high priority cameras.
As we already performed 2 Full Frame Nikon cameras, the APS-C Nikon camera is in our list but not at the top for now.
Other brand needs their first lens recommendation (we did not perfom the Olympus OM EM5 nor the Panasonic GH3)
The next lens recommendation will be:
- Olympus OMD EM5 and Panasonic GH3 very soon
- Pentax K50
- Olympus PEN EP5
- Nikon APS-C cameras
- Nikon D800E
Some other new cameras could be included in this list when they will be announced and so add some delay for the publication of the older.
Sorry for that.
Stay tuned !

Re: d7100 & 5200
Well, I do not think it very reassuring your answer for nikon aps users. The only data on perceptual mpx sensors mounted on new 24 megapixel nikon, fall short of the cameras eight years ago, with 6 or 8 sensors mpx ... What makes me question until your point is valid ranking of sensors in which the color depth, dynamic range and noise, seem the only items to keep in mind while solving capacity or mentioned: I do know that it depends largely to the lens, but clearly it should also be considered.

Re: d7100 & 5200
Emilie, lets get real before you get to the Nikon D800e lens tests, there is going to be announcement for the new Nikon fx body. And, how much different the tests would be from D800, by half a point? By now, everybody in photography knows your web page, so instead of getting the web page on the wagon and provide the links to Adorama, Amazon, or have your own shop and get founds from it, so you can keep up with being pro-active with the lens and camera testing in timely manner keeping everybody happy you choose to sell software. As long as you keep your test results with integrity, it would make no difference to you what equipment sells. It's win-win situation-readers are happy and your are happy. If you keep up your work the way you do, you are always going to be behind no matter what you do. You step ahead or another web page will step forward with something you started first. From what you just said, we might be waiting for the Nikon D7100 lens tests for months again. Anyway, maybe I just expect too much from this web page. Thanks for the info about your future tests.

Nikon D7100 and Sigma Art lenses to be tested!
Sorry guys, but it is really silly to find another review for that covers just a few people in photography. People wait for months to see some lens tests for majority users! I am waiting as probably thousands of others for results of lens testings for the Nikon D7100 which is probably the best DX camera, but you choose for months to do everything but not it. What is wrong with that? It's ridiculous!

Kelly Smith says she is determined to round off a frustrating year by helping Arsenal Ladies to win yet more silverware.
The striker returned to Arsenal in March following three years in America but has seen a series of injuries, including a three month lay-off with an ankle problem, limit her playing time this season.
Smith has returned to fitness now, and after helping Laura Harvey's team win the Women's Super League title, she is eager to seal a domestic double with victory in Wednesday's Continental Cup final against Birmingham at Underhill.
"This Club is all about winning trophies to me," Smith told Arsenal.com.
"We have that winning mentality and know how to get the job done. We've got a strong squad of players, and if some aren't doing their jobs, there will be players on the bench waiting to prove they should have started.
"There's a lot of competition for places but we should hopefully pick up the cup on Wednesday.
"It's important that we start well and play well as a team," Smith added.
"I think we're more than capable of doing it - it's just turning up and performing on the day."
Smith has started Arsenal's last two games after recovering from a quad strain that kept her on the sidelines for three weeks.
And with fellow strikers Ellen White and Jennifer Beattie in fine goalscoring form, the 33-year-old insists she just wants the Ladies to win the game, regardless of whether she starts.
"Jennifer Beattie has come on in the last few games and scored a hat-trick against Barcelona, so if I don't start I understand the reasons why," Smith said.
"She's been a real goal threat when she's come on. If I don't start and can make an impact coming off the bench, I'm more than happy to do that."
But whatever the result on Wednesday, Smith, in her third spell at the Club, says she sees her long-term future with Arsenal.
"I love the Club and the people that work for the Club. It's always been my No 1 club. I see myself being a part of it next year and hopefully going out on all fronts again to win everything."

Cloud computing continues to be hyped. By now, almost every ICT hardware, software, and services company has some form of cloud strategy — even if it's just a cloud label on a traditional hosting offering — to ride this wave. This misleading vendor "cloud washing" and the complex diversity of the cloud market in general make cloud one of the most popular and yet most misunderstood topics today (for a comprehensive taxonomy of the cloud computing market, see this Forrester blog post).
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is the largest and most strongly growing cloud computing market; its total market size in 2011 is $21.2 billion, and this will explode to $78.4 billion by the end of 2015, according to our recently published sizing of the cloud market. But SaaS consists of many different submarkets: Historically, customer relationship management (CRM), human capital management (HCM) — in the form of "lightweight" modules like talent management rather than payroll — eProcurement, and collaboration software have the highest SaaS adoption rates, but highly integrated software applications that process the most sensitive business data, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), are the lantern-bearers of SaaS adoption today.

As we predicted more than three years ago, BI software and services are converging. Today, Deloitte announced its acquisition of the assets of the BI SaaS vendor Oco. This is a great confirmation of several trends:

Seth Green's Opera House climb proves he's no chicken
16/09/2013 , 10:20 AM by LottaHaegg
US Actor Seth Green is known as much for his voice as his face after starring in animated classics Robot Chicken and Family Guy.
But of course he's still fondly remembered for his role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and as Scotty Evil in the Austin Powers movies.
Green, along with the other creators of Robot Chicken, will be out in Australia in October as a guest of The Graphic Festival.
It won't be, however, his first time at the Sydney Harbour Icon. On his last visit he narrowly avoided security after climbing the world renowned landmark.
Adam spoke to Seth and started by asking him whether he ever considered following his father into the world of mathematics.

C/K drum brake issue
So i got some new brake shoes and pulled off all the stuff to change out the wheel cylinders on my '82 c-10 and I have two issues.
1. The brake line nut to the back of the wheel cylinder is on pretty good. I put a 3/8" line wrench on it after some penetrating oil. All i did was damage the nut slightly. Any suggestions on getting it loose would be welcomed. I've found some new rear lines at LMC truck if I need to replace them.
2. There are two different sized pads on the shoes. The ones that were on the truck had the smaller on the rear side (the shoe attached to the parking brake cable) and the larger thicker one on the front side. My manual shows a pic that is the opposite of this. Which one is right? I'm guessing the Chilton's manual is correct and that someone previously had them on backwards.
(they are the 11"x2" shoes)
I just put the old stuff back together till I can get this stuff straight.
Thanks, Matt
1.) Brake tube nut:
If it's not already too late, go out and get yourself a set of flare nut wrenches that are made for this purpose.
2.) Brake leading / trailing shoe:
WikiHow article
Unless you are restoring this truck to a "numbers matching" level of original condition ... you can simply buy a $3.00 pre-assembled straight steel brake line with fittings at your local parts store. They are available in plain tubing or in spring armor wrapped varieties.
I prefer the spring ones as they not only protect the tube from abrasion and rocks ... they also help to support the tube while you bend it to prevent kinking. That is sill no substitute for a proper tubing bender if you need to make sharp bends ... but it does help.
rear drum's
short one is in back with e brake /front drums 70&older short one in front.
per my local repair shop,mine were on backwards when i went to change them.
looked at the book .put the drums back on drove to napa they said the
book's wrong.?????????. i put small on back. have fun.
You need to do a do-over.
I have worked at a NAPA store since 1992, and some of the best advice I can give you is to not ask a Partsman for Mechanic advice.
Seriously ...
Partsmen SELL parts, mechanics INSTALL them.
The thing about using an exploded brake parts diagram as a reference is that you have to consider which side of the vehicle you are looking at. The picture above shows the LH (Driver's Side) ... and the RH (Passenger Side) will be a "mirror image". The short shoe will STILL go to the front.
BTW, when I say "mechanic" ... I mean "trained technician", not the lerp working in the lube bay making $10.00 /hr that *thinks* he knows how to do everything.
I also have an issue in regards to the "pre 1970" notion that you have been fed. Self-adjusting rear drum brakes have been around longer than that. My 1966 GMC had them for sure. I bought the truck from my wife's grandfather in 1982 with 32,000 miles on the clock. The brakes had never been touched ... still had the OE stickers on the drums.
Short shoes were at the front.
X whatever it is i use to do brakes for a living and it is the short shoe to the front and long to the rear like stated. and a good line wrench is alway's a must or at least a good idea when working with lines. If it's not to late anyway.IMHO.
c/k brake issue
I used a wrench just like the posted pic. I've goofed up like that before and used a standard open end wrench and paid the price on a nut on the fuel line into the fuel pump so I went and got a set of those wrenches. I've heard them called line wrenches, in addition to flare nut wrenches, since they will fit over the attached line of some sort.
I should mention the right rear cylinder has this milky fluid inside the ends of the cylinder. But it's all coming out once I can get the damm line removed.
Thanks GMC66 for reminding me about the line available at napa or other places. I also just remembered I have another 80s rear end in the back that happens to have the brake lines still attached and that line is probably exactly the same.
c/k brake issue
It just occurred to me to hit the junk yard (pull-a-part) and check some of the c/k trucks on the lot and see if I can pull another line and get myself something that might work and have the appropriate bends already.
Take the bolts out of the cylinder, spin the cylinder while holding the nut on the line with a vicegrip. Once you get it off you can gently heat the fitting on the line and it will break free. I have done this many times with great success. It does not take a lot of heat, a propane torch will work just fine if you have one. It is generally not the fitting stuck in the cylinder, it is the fitting stuck to the line.
As for the other part of your question, the shorter shoe always goes to the front. I have not seen an exception to this in 35 years. There are some cars that the shoes are all the same.
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
c/k brake issue
Thanks T-bucket23, that sounds like a plan to try.
I went to the junk yard and was able to get a couple of rear lines for each side from a couple early 80s c/k trucks that appear to be in pretty good shape. They broke free quite easily to add a little spite to the whole situation... murphy's law I guess.
Now I want to remove the primary soft black rubber line and replace it as well since it's got quite a few small cracks visible. The 7/16" nut on this one is in the same boat. The two soft lines at the front to each wheel look to be in the same shape and will be replaced in the near future hopefully. I'll start soaking those hard/soft line connections for a few days with something prior to trying to break them free. From the pic of the new rear soft line it looks to have a nut on the back of the fitting that can be use to help break the line free (fingers double crossed). If not that then a little heat will be used. Hopefully the liquid wrench soaking on that joint has done something. It wouldn't turn yesterday so I left it alone.
I need to stop looking for problems. They don't seem to be in short supply.
Intially I just wanted to bleed the system and couldn't break any of the bleeder screws loose.
c/k brake drum issue
So I finally got the rear shoes and cylinders replaced. I got replacement lines from an 83 and 87 truck for the rear hard lines. I had to use the craftsman bolt off set to remove 3 of the 4 bolts holding on the cylinders. The 4th rounded even using the bolt off set and I had to pound on a 9mm socket on the rounded 3/8 bolt head and it was able to catch and get the 4th bolt.
Thanks tbucket23 for the little that trick. It worked for the passenger side cylinder. On the drivers side I ended up cutting the line so i didn't use it.
I knocked off most of the rust off the backing plate and cleaned up the drums and painted the exterior with a rust arresting paint.
I did damage the nut joining the hard line to the soft line at the differential. I thing it might just work though.
I'm so looking forward to replacing the fronts lines as well and will go ahead and get some replacements since they look nice and rusted together as well. I'm just going to do the soft front lines if possible (insert laughing here).
What is the appropriate gift to offer the brake gods in prepartion for such things?

text: Well be that as it may I love my window tint but it's rough backing up of a night and I also from time to time pull someone out of a ditch or whatever and I also have a car trailer so lighting would be really nice. I had looked at the White Night back up lights and just hated to spend that on something that I could replicate and I didn't want to have to relocate the trailer light hook up. So I grabed some fog lights from Wally World and came up with this. I haven't got them finished yet but I believe I will wire them into a switch and possibly into the back up lights (3 way switch or something of the like). Here is how I have them mounted for now. I wanted smaller round ones but these have the beam I like and are more concentrated.

Following a pair of events last weekend, the Canisius College rowing team will be back on the water again Saturday, this time at the Head of the Genesee Regatta in Waterloo, N.Y.
The event will feature the same crews the Griffs faced at the Hobart William Smith Challenge on the Canal and Head of the Tonawanda, with the addition of perennially fast crews Syracuse and Radcliffe.
"This year's there's a lot of speed [at the Head of the Genesee]," said head coach Joel Furtek. "We've got Syracuse, who's very fast. Radcliffe, who's very fast and UB who we just faced last weekend. We've also got William Smith, Rochester and Ithaca who we saw last weekend as well. More than anything it's a chance to be surrounded by speed that's well above our level, which we always love; but it's also for us to test ourselves again against crews we just faced. So we're not gunning for a place so much as testing ourselves against crews we know."
The event will be divided into two parts. The Griffs will race at both the 5k distance and a sprint race at 1500 meters. The times from the two races are combined together to determine final placing.
It's the third regatta of the fall for Canisius, who opened the season last Saturday at the Hobart William Smith Challenge on the Canal. The Varsity Eight placed fourth of five and the Second Varsity Eight finished in third of four.
The Griffs then raced at the Head of the Tonawanda on Sunday, where the Griffs placed second and fourth in the five-boat race, rebounding from what Furtek called a disappointing performance on Saturday.
"They showed up on Saturday unprepared for racing, it's the first race so I can understand it, but we can't accept it," Furtek said. "To their credit they showed up ready to go on Sunday. What changed from Saturday to Sunday? We brought the race intensity that is us, there's a lot that we still need to do better, but their response from day to day was the right one. If we can repeat that with some of the technical progress we've been making over the course of the week I think we can perform even better."
The Griffs will kick things off on Saturday morning with the 5k in the morning and then the sprint portion of the event will be in the afternoon.

Git Gui Guide¶
- Git Gui Guide
Welcome to the Git Gui guide.
First of all it is important to make you positive about git.
There is a transition phase and it has some downsides, yet we are working hard to get these out of the way too.
Pros about git¶
- No messing with SVN folders (no .svn folder in each folder). All the files of the local repository are in one .git folder in the top most level.
- You can just remove or rename files via explorer (no TSVN rename/delete extra command needed) (see notes below).
- Upload and download takes less time due to very good compression.
- Overall very fast command execution (better in performance).
- You commit to your local repository first. This means you can commit ASAP without normal wait times. You do the upload to the server of several commits just once in one go.
- Git Bash gives you the option to work in a Linux cmd line. Allows some nice advanced use (mass delete / rename etc).
- Tools: Git Gui has most of the needed git command available easily via key shortcuts. The app is fast and the UI is fine.
Problems we still need to solve¶
- Hard to mass revert local changes: You want to drop your changes and go back to the last unmodified version for many files / a folder subtree.
- Hard to get locally mass deleted files back: You delete a bigger number of files by mistake and want them back.
- Wit many files or a big repository git seems to be slow to compile all local changes. The reason is as git always does check the whole repository and not only the folder (and its subfolders) you are currently in.
- Not as simple to get a diff on a file like with 'TSVN: click file, RMB, diff'.
Setup local repository¶
Alright let's get started.
We will sort out the standard workflow you will work with git and the different naming.
1) First you need to sort out the required tools and the putty key. See Source Code Management.
2) Next you need to download the git file repository of your project.
URL normally looks like this:
You need to connect to the URL once with putty to sort some git bug and get the server's key.
To create the git repository on your pc, we will use Git Bash (command line) as this seems most simple.
1) Go in the explorer to the folder you want to put the stuff in.
2) Click RMB on that folder.
3) Select Git Bash.
4) Enter git clone URL. Clone equals to SVN: checkout.
git clone git.dev-heaven.net:ace-mod.git
Standard day-to-day workflow¶
Get the latest files from the server.¶
To my knowledge you cannot use Git Gui for this operation, so again Git Bash is our choice.
1) In the explorer click RMB on any folder inside the git repository. x
2) Select *Git Bash.
3) Enter git pull. Pull equals to SVN: update.
x): Unlike with SVN, the level do not matter for this command. With a standard git repository without submodules, you can only update the complete repository and not only a subtree of folders and its files.
git pull
Sometimes you have to specific the branch you want to download. Yet normally you stay on the master and there is no need to add it.
git pull origin master
Uploading your changes to the server.¶
In SVN this is only one command: SVN: commit. For git this is split into three phases. This is a bit confusing at first, yet it is simple and does have it advantages:
- git stage file(s)
- git commit file(s)
- git push
This means you mark files ready for the commit command. This allows some advanced use, yet for our standards these are not important.
Let's launch Git Gui now finally. Again you need to select one folder inside your repository - which one doesn't matter.
1) In the explorer click RMB on any folder inside the git repository.
2) Select Git Gui.
1) The button the in the lower center, called rescan, or F5 will check your repository for modifications.
2) In the top left box, called unstaged changes, you will see all the files you have modified in the repository.
Use CTRL or shift + mouse click to select multiple files in there.
3) CTRL T will mark the selected set as staged and will put them in into the lower left box, called stages changes.
4) Now the staged files should be in the lower left corner. If you want to unstage a (set of) file(s), select commit->unstage from commit from the menu bar.
You can now commit the staged files to your local repository.
In other words you can always add a change to your local repository first.
This is useful when not having an Internet connection or to create logic atomic commits as often as possible.
In the lower right box, called commit message, you have to define the commit comment. Use the standard syntax according to your project like
~ Added: new feature X. Players can now self kill by pressing ENTER.
The key shortcut to to the commit is ALT ENTER or press the commit button in the bottom center.
Once you want to upload all your commits to the project server somewhere in the Internet, select git push. Again button in the lower center or CTRL P.

~ Reverting changes / getting back deleted files.
~ Simple file diff via explorer

Huntsville AL.
The Aquarium Shop..University Dr and the Parkway, great mom and pop store, clean tanks great variety of fish, some plants, lots of equipment lights, filters etc.. helpful and friendly owners (husband and wife) a few young loyal employees.. Great shop :proud:
Lucy's Lagoon...9th st. Nice Marine store, he has some beautiful marine tanks and very knowledgeable/helpful..has some fresh water fish and supplys, but he's going strictly marine, and getting away from fresh water. Nice Shop :proud:
Petco..Airport Rd. Typical franchise, Clean tanks, dime store fish, basic plants etc.
PetSmart..Carl T. Jones Blvd, Target Shopping Center..Decent shop, clean tanks, tons of your basic fish, 3 tanks designated for plants, large store.
One or two more shops but mostly cichlid's (africans)
The independant shops are much better than the chain stores.
So as you see if you are ever in the Rocket City, we have some nice shops to visit! :icon_bigg
Lucy's Lagoon - As mentioned above, at this time 2006 is totally Marine. A Mom-n-Pop type store. Very, very nice and knowledgeable owners. I've never had a bad experience when dealing with them. Another thing I've always enjoyed about them, was that they have no problem showing you their filtration set up and are eager to talk to you about any questions.
Located on 9th Street, between Triana Blvd and Jordan, about 200 feet from Triana.
Just Cichlids - The only bad thing about this store is it's location, as parking is kind of an issue. Otherwise, here is another Enthusiast owned establishment where, I've NEVER seen a dead/sick fish in any of his tanks. The owner is always open for questions and has even demo'd equipment for myself and others. Very enthusiastic about cichlids. Very knowledgeable about cichlids and which ones you should/shouldn't mix. If you're looking for a freshwater alternative for colorful fish that require a little more attention than regular Tropicals, but far less equipment and preparation than Saltwater, here is an excellent place to start.
Located on Triana Blvd about 100' S. of the Triana/Governors intersection.
Aquarium Shop - I don't really care for this shop so much. The owners are friendly and seem eager to help out, but I usually leave this place feeling a little depressed every time I go. If I didn't live in an apartment, and had a basement filled with large tanks, I'd probably buy a lot of their larger fish just to rescue them. They do have a large collection of freshwater fish and some interesting SW as well. I'm usually wary of their fish due to usually seeing a dead/sickly fish in 25%-50% of their tanks. I'm sorry if I'm coming off very negative about this store, and will say that I've have in the past bought several fish from them that were fine, and some that are still alive today (6yrs old). I would rank their fish quality with Petsmart or just slightly better. This establishment does have a good selection of plants and they also carry a large amount of accessories/replacement parts for many popular brands of filters. Also they carry a wide selection of filters, feed, substrates, rock, and other accessories. I shop here when I need a piece of equipment immediately, for plants, or very hard to find FW fish. Despite any negative comments I had for this store, I would still recommend them over any chain-store.
Also, just to mention it, the PetSmart here in Huntsville, on University Dr near Target is probably the best of the chain stores in the area.
Just my 2 cents.
Coral Reef Aquatics
Guys I know this is a freshwater forum but if you have both fresh and saltwater tanks like I do, Coral Reef Aquatics is by far the BEST place to go. It's in athens, but it is worth the drive. He is strictly marine, but he is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and he stands behind his products. You will NEVER see a dead or sick fish in his tank and he won't sell you anything if he doesn't think it will survive in your system.
Petsmart on University Drive and Explorer (Target Shopping center) is very clean with nice tanks, and I've always seemed to have semi-knowledgeable people helping. Most of the employees that I've talked to keep fish.
I like that the price stickers state a little bit about the max size of the fish, though they do lie a little sometimes. Plant selection a little limited, but not bad.

Business Contacts Surveys: Construction and Real Estate Survey Results - April 2012
Business Contact Surveys: Construction and Real Estate
April 2012
The majority of Southeast homebuilders and residential brokers continued to report that sales increased on a year-over-year basis in February. Two-thirds of brokers reported sales gain, while half of builders reported that sales were up slightly compared with a year earlier.
Both builders and brokers indicated that home inventories continued to decline on a year-over-year basis. The majority of builders reported that new home inventories were unchanged from January to February. Most broker reports indicated that home inventories were flat to down.
Southeast broker indicated that home prices softened again on a year-over-year basis in February, and builders continued to note more moderate declines.
Southeast residential brokers indicated that buyer traffic continued to improve on a year-over-year basis in February while builder reports remained positive but moderated somewhat.
Southeast brokers and homebuilders expect that year-over-year home sales growth will remain positive over the next several months.
Southeast builders reported that construction activity remained ahead of the year earlier level in February and the outlook is for construction to remain positive.
Note: The poll results are based on responses from 66 residential brokers and 38 builders. Responses were collected March 5–14, 2012.
The housing survey's diffusion indexes are calculated as the percentage of total respondents reporting increases minus the percentage reporting declines. Positive values in the index indicate increased activity; negative values indicate decreased activity.

After reviewing the Sig 238 schematic, it appears as if the majority of the components are the same as the Colt Mustang, while the Colt manual touches on one particular bothersome issue, it appears as if the Sig 238 manual does not. ETA It looks like Sig may have fixed this possible issue, but just in case, keep reading.
The ejector on the Mustang can be over extended into the mag well and get "stuck" by the sear spring.
Here is the procedure from the Colt manual to return the ejector to the correct position.
*I can not guarantee that this procedure will be the same for a 238*
The Colt manual can be found in it's entirety here: Colt Publications , and the Sig manual here: Sig Manuals
Another write up of the procedure with better pictures can be seen here: Colt Mustang +II Troubleshooting.

Slide Off Recovery
just out of curiousity, i have been told both sides by many different poeple. But if you driving down the road, and come across someone who slid off into the ditch, can you recover them with your truck and a strap or if you have a winch? I have been told you can get tickted for not being a licensed tow truck operator etc..... or can you just hook up and pull them out with out worrie? I see people all the time jerking people from the ditches etc....
Someone just slid off the road like 50 yds from my driveway (not in my yard, my neighbors)

I would think a cop wouldnt give you a ticket for being a good samaritan, but there are pricks out there. Most of the time I wouldnt bother helping someone out of the ditch, not that I am an asshole, just because of the liability of messing up there car and the risk to yourself of getting hit by another car.

I think it might be because most people don't have the yellow emergency flashers so you could be ticketed for obstructing traffic.
I had a guy call me a few years ago in the middle of the night wanting me to pull him out. The cops were there & gonna call a wrecker. He told the cop he didn't have the money for a tow truck & could he call a friend. Cop said sure & watched me pull him out.

This has been talked about in the past. YES you can get a ticket but will you get one? First, were are you on a main road with lots of traffic Which you could cause another wreck then YES, 2nd by your house on a side street- I would say not. The one thing you have to use is your HEAD!!! Think about it and rethink it. You don't want to kill somebody by not hooking or block traffic right.
So I'm a asshole, so what!:finger:

What BDR said. You don't have the emergency lights, license, or insurance to cover you in case something goes wrong. If the cop says to do it, no problem. If one pulls up while you are doing it, you can get a ticket. It it likely? Probably not. Just like they said, use your head.

I've done it for 30 years, only had a problem once where a State trooper showed up. We were far off the road, but he had heard that the car I was pulling out had rolled (I found out then that it had but the new driver had not been in it and it had little damage). He was upset with me and really chewed me out, he described the problem with lack of proper lights and insurance in case we caused another accident. But he let me go. I still do it, but I check the vehicle out real close before connecting to it.

I have pulled others and myself out a couple times with the winch.I even got a yellow light just in case.Hate to get smashed into.They're like 15$.I have never got a ticket, but I have never had a cop show up either.In and out.Heck, I have even pulled tree branches off the road so people can get threw.What I do is have them hook up the hook to their vehicle.I'll look and make sure it's all good, but I won't touch it.Also I won't take $.I'll take the karma instead.

Is it against the law? YES!! Will you get a ticket? Depends on the officer that would catch you doing it. One of the requirements in Michigan is that the recovery vehicle have Amber or Red or both flashing lights. Another is the recovery vehicle must remain stationary during the recovery. Would I do it? Hum? I have in the past to make a little money. But that was in my younger more foolish days. The liability isn't worth the risk of being sued in todays sue happy society.

News flash:
Any street legal vehicle CAN be considered an emergency vehicle, during an emergency.
The laws that that you must have flashers and some type of audible warning.
On your car, this is your 4-way flashers and your horn.
In the event of a true emergency, this allows you legally to use emergency turnarounds on highways. That comes directly from the state police and OCSD.
I'm sure you can be ticketed for this, since cops will ticket you for all kinds of things, legal or not. Most likely, if you were doing things smartly and not obstructing traffic, you would have no trouble dropping a ticket in court. Now, doing something like blocking a freeway cloverleaf ramp to strap someone out, that is going to make a cop be a sad panda.
Keep in mind that someone who went pretty far off the road can be ticketed for reckless driving, or other moving violations. You pulling them out denies a potentially bad driver from getting a ticket.
I've pulled many out of the years, but I don't think ever from something like a deep median. Just from the snow drifts on the edge of the road or similar.

I have pulled people out of a snow drifted road and had the cop use his lights for safety and I have also had a sheriff friend call me to pull there tahoe out in a snowstorm because he new I had a big jeep and lived close, I have also drove wreckers and I think the police just want the road clear in the fastest safe fasion, But if the person is drunk I think you could get into trouble.

Becareful of usiing Highway turn arounds. I was running a fleet of trucks to auction in Flint and had a one drop out. I went in the turn around to see if he would catch up. a state trooper pulled up and asked why I had stopped. I told him I was escorting vehicles and that one was missing. he didn't seem to care. he said if I finished the turn he would write me a $250 ticket. so I had to go all the way to the next exit about 3 miles up to go back. it didn't seem to matter that I was a wrecker driver or that I was working when the other truck went missing. and I wasn't in a wrecker. I was in one of the old style green & white Ma'bell vans

I was once pulling out a suburban on M-72 when an officer approached. He said that since I was running my headlight strobes, and beacon, I was okay. He even stayed to stop traffic as I pulled.
I think it's up to you to check to see if the law has been broken. IE, if the guy in the ditch is wasted and lost it, then you've helped him get away with a crime. The car could be stolen too, then you're an accomplice, so the risk is all yours.

She has been denying all sorts of rumour of her dating the other national heros of Korea (the soap opera guy and the soccer player etc). She was also voted CNN's sexiest female athlete (This might have been old news but still .)
