text: Rachael Flatt had rarely looked more exhuberent. "I just did my first autopsy!" The bubbly American skating champion, taking a much needed break due to injuries, had just finished assisting Pathologist Dr. Geoffrey Loftus in conducting an autopsy. Their subject was a 56 year old man who appeared to have had a heart attack. "That did seem strange for a middle aged man in otherwise fine health" explained Dr. Loftus, "I mean he was in no way obese, so an examination was begun". For the 19 year old student, examining a body would seem for most people too unsettling to even consider, but Rachael was undeterred. "The human body is just so fascinating. Being an athlete, I've always been curious about the cardiovascular system as well as nutrition, but I never imagined it would be so vivid!".

Yeah. Screw with it. Screw with it hard. There are 50 ways to bring the hood in if you have done body work, cheap crap Chinese hoods will require every method.
The hood latch assembly can be made to move up and down and more than the bolt holes allow for. The two rubber bumpers in front on radiator support can be screwed up or down to suit what the front of hood wants. When the new position doesn't want to close properly then the spring pin sticking up can be shortened a 1/4" to allow easier latching, think about it first, you can't put back on what you take off. The catch loop can be moved around a bit sideways too.
Very little comes from hinges, you can twist hood around sideways and corner to corner, and shim up/down to get the closed height at back of hood corners on with fender height.
You may need to loosen fender tops a bit to move them slightly to bring things in closer. I have actually slit the inner flange of fender to get one fender line matching hood line closer after getting a Chinese fender to go with the Chinese hood. The fender line was straight when it needed a bit of curve down low. Fun. If careful you can move a headlight up, down or angle more to suit too.
I've actually bent the hood back corners by hand a bit up or down to bring them closer in line too.
You can widen any holes you need to on, just think about it, sometimes what needs to be done not immediately evident until you widen holes till useless and then you realize that will not work for the move you're looking for.
There is a certain amount of interference necessary between the two front rubber bumpers and the latch assembly. The rubbers end up a bit too high for the height of the latch, that is so the hood bears down on them firmly when dropped from say 12 inches plus to impact the latch. The extra dig into the rubbers makes the latch dampened so that it does not rattle when driving. Once hood is lined overall, I set up the damp by backing off rubbers and setting latch height while holding UP on hood, get it right then take the slack out of latch by raising bumpers slowly till hood back lined with headlight depth and no slack in latch, then raise bumpers maybe 1/2 turn more to get the damp. Feel it out by dropping hood and wiggling it up and down, every one is a bit different.
There's other tricks to cure a hood that won't latch consistently, but later on that..............
OEM hood adjustment.
I searched and found some other posts about hood installation and fitment, and none of them really applied to my situation. I bought a new OEM hood from rockauto, bolted it on and the alignment isn't even close! There is about a 1 inch gap at the front of the drivers side fender and about an 1.8" gap at the windsheid on the drivers side fender. The latch goes into the catch, but the post on the latch doesnt even come close to fitting in the whole it's supposed to so the hood won't close all the way. It is like the entire hood is sitting slanted on the car. I tried bending the mounts but I just can't get them right. Most hoods I have put on cars in the past have some kind of adjustments built into the hinges. On these hinges the mounting holes are the same size as the bolts and leave no room to twist or re-position the hood before tightening them. Is there some way to adjust the hood that I'm missing, or should I just widen up the holes to give me some play. Does anybody have any advice to get my OEM hood lined up right???

What is 'value for money'? When a product is cheap, well featured and well made it is easy to assess. It is good value for everyone. Where the problems start is when the price goes up. The Sony Vaio Z Series is the best portable laptop on the market, but at £2,400 is it good value for money? Perhaps. The Dyson Air Multiplier is the best desktop fan, but it costs £199. Is this worse value for money because it is 'just a fan'? Ultimately value for money comes down to individual requirements and personal finances. The rule is it's subjective. And if this is something of a drop intro apologies, but value for money is the fundamental quandary when reviewing ACS's truly remarkable T2 monitors.
Let's get it out of the way. If you want a pair of T2s you will have to find £499. For £510 you can buy a 16GB iPhone 4. For £569 you can take home a 40in Sony Bravia KDL-40EX503 television. Are we in 'just a fan' territory? Why on earth would you spend £500 on a pair of earphones? And here's the hard bit: you should.
There are obvious caveats. Clearly you have to be seriously into your music. Unless you obsessively rip your music at the best possible bitrates (or still insist on buying the CD) then the T2s aren't for you. If you don't own a phone, a TV or decent laptop then prioritise - what are you thinking? Do you have a large mortgage to pay? An ex-wife to appease? Best stop reading now, because the next 1,200 words won't make you feel better about your life. On the other hand if you can consider spending £500 on a pair of earphones find a comfy chair and start stroking your credit card because you're about to learn these are the ones to get.
First things first. What sets these apart from most other high-end in-ear monitors (IEMs), such as the Shure SE 535 or Sennheiser IE8s is the fact they're custom moulded to perfectly fit the contours of your inner ear. This creates a better seal, reduces outside noise and preserves fidelity. Other companies such as Westone and Ultimate Ears also offer this service though ACS is one of the few to offer soft silicone moulds rather than hard plastic ones.
The rest of the monitor is no less bespoke. It can be laser etched with lettering or symbols of your choice. Clear, purple, red, blue, yellow or black finishes are standard options, but virtually any colour can be requested and the same goes for the Kevlar reinforced, anti-friction cable (its length can also be specified). Cable positioning is offered either at the top of the monitors (to feed behind the ears) or at the bottom to mimic a typical earphone arrangement - the former is generally better for avoiding pulling the phones out or damaging them when you snag the cable. A personally inscribed rugged case is supplied as well along with a soft carry leather pouch. £500? It's a start…

Patagonia Ice Nine Suit
The best winter mountaineering shell I have ever seen. Bright colors for visibility in low visibility situations or avalanches. Heavy duty Gore-Tex material prevents punctures from ice axes, crampons, rocks from hit when doing a sitting glacade. Many many zippered vents full length removing the need to take your plastic boots off in order to put on the one piece shell. Best piece of kit I have ever purchased. I have put mine through an enormous amount of abuse and falls and the suite is still intact… Full review
The North Face Himalayan Suit
This is the best down suit you can buy for your money. It's warm and does its job in the coldest of weather. Keeps you warm and dry, very comfortable, it's like wearing a nice down sleeping bag. It's great for any winter activity. It's best for winter camping and long treks or walks on cold days. I wear the suit all the time around the house or outside, it's that comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on the suit. I would recomend this suit to anyone whos is always cold or wants to be comfortable… Full review
Stoic Women's Merino 200 1-Z Suit
Bought this for my wife for Christmas. Fit is excellent. Not too tight. Initially seemed a little long, but she is 5'1" and the XS fit fine. Prob would work if you were a few inches taller as well. Material and seams are nice. Back paneling for bathroom use are convenient. Would be nice if this were a feature of the men's product as well. Full review
REI Windy Peak Snowsuit
We love it, it still fits our petite 2 year old with the growth tucks. It's a slim fit which we like, not bulky. Warm and cute for our winters here, a -5C average. The zip pockets are unnecessary at this age. Full review
The North Face Halo Detachable Suit
This suit is a great one-piece. It keeps me very warm and when I do overheat a little it breathes very well. I really wish they would have made a XXL as being 6'2" 250 is maxing out the XL. I have taken this thing in deep powder and through the trees at Sierra many times and i always stay dry. The only fault of this suit is the pants are not functional when separate and the jacket is a little short, in essence this can be used as a one piece. If you're looking for a suit that keeps you dry and warm… Full review
Outdoor Research Women's Banff Bodysuit
I purchased this for my wife a few years ago. She absolutely loves it. It adds great warmth and wicking without significant bulk -- No overlapping or bunching fabric at the waist. Once you try a one-piece suit like this, you'll never go back. She won't go skiing without it. Full review
Outdoor Research Saturn Suit
This is a great cold weather suit. I deer hunt a lot and I will not leave home without this layered suit. Lightweight and breathable. It holds body heat and keep me warm. The other benefit is with this suit I don't have to wear much clothing which allows me to maneuver around better while bow hunting...great product for cold weather activity. Full review
Avalanche Wear Fleece Bunting
Great base layer for taking your toddler out for a mid winter ski. What I like the best is that you can fold over the sleeve pockets and keep your child's hands inside. You don't have to worry about him or her pulling off the gloves. Also, the built-in hood allows you to keep the neck and head warm, a major heat loss area. Full review
Columbia Boys' Snowtop Bunting II
This suit was excellent for the winter! It fits easily in the car seat and my son would fall asleep as soon as we put it on him because it was so cozy! We bought the timberwolf camo print and everyone comments on how cute it is. I would highly recommend this bunting! It was very warm too! Full review

Evening has come; with it comes the end of the Sabbath and the preparation of worship for Sunday. Today rather than preaching let's just talk and think about the world we live in and our own lives. Think about the memories we have about our childhood.
In life we see a lot of things that we see. We see and hear things that we think our right and we see things that we think are wrong. What makes us want to do right and wrong? Well, it stems to the Garden of Eden which speak about the knowledge of Good and Evil.

Ford Ranger Models and Ranger History
The Ford Ranger was first introduced in 1983 as an entrant in the growing compact pickup truck marketplace in North America. Serving as the basis for the popular Explorer sport utility vehicle, the Ford Ranger entered 1998 as a redesigned truck. The exterior for the 1998 Ford Ranger resembled a mix between the Explorer and the large F-Series pickup trucks.
As well as offering a regular cab and Supercab body style, a Flareside bed option was also available for 1998. The wheelbase was lengthened allowing for greater interior room and rack and pinion steering was added to the 1998 model year Ranger. Engine options presented within the 1998 Ford Ranger line-up consisted of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as well as a 3-liter and 4-liter V-6 powerplant. The 4.0-liter V-6 engine variant of the Ford Ranger was paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel and four-wheel drivetrains were offered on the Ford Ranger. The Flareside Splash model was discontinued in 1999 while a four-door version of the Ranger was added. After 2000, the larger V-6 engine was replaced by a more potent 4-liter engine for the 2001 model year generating 210 horsepower.
A Duratec four-cylinder engine replaced the previous base powerplant on the Ford Ranger. Cosmetic upgrades were performed to the Ford Ranger in 2004 and 2006 while the mechanicals for the truck were left unchanged through to the 2011 model year. Despite some popularity among businesses and fans of small trucks, the Ford Ranger was discontinued in the United States without a direct replacement.

i like VA. you might have a shot.hey, watch out on ebay. they tend to list things as antique when they are not. like everything on there, you have to know what you are looking at....but it's one of my favorite places to find odd stuff :)
Does anyone have or know where I can buy antique anything related to bee keeping. I would like to display in our store hoping to arouse interest for new comers. I'm not sure what would qualify for antique, maybe over 50 years old? Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Hello Shane, I don't have antique equipment, just rundown old stuff. I do have an old book called Life of The Bee. Let me know if you really want it.If I'd known there was a beekeeping shop in Staunton I might have had a look when I was there in November. So long as it was just a look and not too much excess luggage. (That plane I got on at the Shenandoah Airport was more like a model plane. I bet it was remote controlled). I did get to an apiary in the area briefly which was nice.Lone

I didn't know they were actually on the board, can gunco ban someone who doesn't have an account? heh
Generally the companies which make crap are called out and people who do their research avoid them like the plague.
The fact about that shotgun is the company has had their schematic on the site for over 6 months and no information what-so-ever on a production gun. The whole thing is probably bullshit.
This just looks like an attempt by them to make a gun to work with their mag since it won't work with anything else.
Personally I can't see anyone buying parts for a gun that doesn't exist and has no defined price for the rest of the parts.
Nice looking rifle, well, if u loose the see thru mag, the too long barrel and thefunny looking fore end! Aahhh! Im goin back to AK's. Buco

The availability of a US made flat would be the Shiznit, but only if it was made to accept the US K-Var Polymer sidefolder stock and hardware. ANd since there is no evidence that K-Var will ever have them made again kind of negates the whole idea.
Freedom is not free. Some will perish to preserve it for the many. Just as our Forefathers did before us, we must take up the battle and not waver. Victory is our only option.

Fisheries Management in Public Waters
Fisheries Resource Studies
To determine what actions are needed to protect freshwater aquatic habitats and to enhance recreational fishing activities, it is critical that the Section understand and evaluate what is occurring in these habitats. Detection of such things as pollution impacts, overharvest of fish species, current sport fish population levels, reservoir water level fluctuation impacts on fish, etc. is needed.
For example, annual sampling of the sport fish populations in all major reservoirs and five rivers, which began in 1987, has made it possible for biologists to look for trends and to give anglers a forecast of future fishing opportunities in their favorite water bodies. Many important studies, such as the effect of water levels on walleye populations in Lake Burton, and the documentation of the impacts of the spread of flathead catfish populations in Georgia, have been conducted. This program accounts for about 8% of the Section's annual expenditures.
See the results of some completed fisheries resource studies - link to abstracts and study documents (in PDF format).

I had some home projects lined up and I knew I wouldn't have the time to sail much more. She was safely nestled on her cradle, the mast and rigging stored and I was getting ready to winterize her a week before Hurricane Sandy decided to form. Friday before the storm hit, I took off from work, pulled my other boat(Mako 22) and prepared my house for the storm. Because I work for the local electric utility, I know that after any storm, I'll be working 16hr days on electric restoration so I take preparations seriously knowing I won't be available until we get everybody's electric back on. My wife (Emery) and the dogs Molly and Maggie (aka Flangehead and Chickenmutt)evacuated to the mainland and rode out the storm at my mother's house. When we finally got back on the island several days later, we found that we were extremely fortunate. Garage and AC ductwork were flooded, hot tub tried to float away (who would have thunk that a full hot tub can float?)but the water ended up about an inch below the floor in the main house. We're a little higher than most of our neighbors and many of them have been devastated. We count our blessings (I also have to give credit to Emery who, before she bought a house in Ocean City, spent a lot of time researching what available properties were higher than others and bought accordingly).
Anyway, I never got a chance to check on the boats because I was leaving for work before sunrise and getting home after dark so I assumed no news was good news. Frankly, I was confident that both my boats had fared OK because I couldn't imagine the water getting high enough to float the Emery C off her cradle. It wasn't until Saturday afternoon when a friend who keeps his boat at the same place called and asked if I'd been down to look at my sailboat. I was still at work and he wouldn't tell me why I should check the boat but that I might "find it interesting". I got that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and since I was working relatively close to the area, I was able to beg an hour away to see what had happened. When I pulled into the yard I at first thought she was impaled on the pilings but I was soon elated to find otherwise. I asked the boatyard owner why he hadn't called me about the situation and he told me that he knew I was busy doing storm restoration and since there didn't appear to be any damage, he didn't want to worry me. Had asked a friend of his with a crane to come over and lift her off and put her back on the cradle. When I told him that I would have liked a few photos of her before she was lifted off, he laughed and told me that there must be several hundred pictures on the internet by now because of all the people who have been coming to see her. The crane had been delayed because there is such a demand for heavy equipment around here for clean-up, and his friend was still trying to get some free time to get to the yard and lift her off. The yard crane is fixed in place and can't reach to where she is now. Her cradle is right next to the fixed crane and that's how she gets in and out every year. This yard is one of those funky old boatyards that is fast disappearing. I've known the owner for years and it's one of those kind of places where if you are known and liked and pay your bills on time, the owner will try and take care of you. It really isn't a sailboat place but I keep my Mako at a slip there so I think they kind of tolerate my "blowboat" tendencies. I also provide beer and sandwiches every time the yard crew helps me put her in and out and step or unstep the mast.
At this point, since we didn't know when the crane would be available, I decided that it would be prudent to notify my insurance company of the situation. I called BOAT US on Monday and they told me that it was a salvage operation and would be covered under my insurance. It's probably a better idea to have them arrange for a crane and do the lifting because if there is any damage, they'll be able to note it. They gave me a claim number and said they'll be in touch soon. At this point, the Emery C is still on her perch and we're waiting for this Nor easter to clear out. Hopefully she'll be back on her cradle before too much longer.
Thanks to everybody for their interest, concern and comments. I'll keep everbody informed as to how things progress.

Re: Bad park job
In what regards parking a boat I should say that in a general way motorboats are a lot better than sailboats especially in what regards in rock parking, always a tricky business:
On other hand, sailboaters seem to prefer to park on sand:

I can't even imagine 7 people spending 9 hours on the other boat. When I walk around on my boat on the hard in a yard, any groan or creak makes me think twice! That would be a long ride down with a very abrupt ending!
In any case...I stand corrected (no pun intended)!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Beaver Creek was powderiffic first Sunday in April 08
After 4" of snow Saturday night, I hit the Strawberry Park Express lift (right out the back door of our lodging at The Inn at Beaver Creek) bright and early at 8:30 and a quick run down the catwalk to Larkspur found me in an incredible bowl of pow that was like riding in heaven for a couple of hours until the pricks on sticks got it all moguled up. This was real fluffy powder, not heavy spring mush, because the temperatures were in the 20's until much later in the day. The sweetest ride.
When I finally got Mrs. DBtv on her board around 10:30 we ventured down to Arrowhead which I feared would be a slush fest, but due to it's lower skier density and the low temps, was still full of great stashes of pow. Mrs. DBtv ran down Cresta and Golden Bear while I was bombing Tomahawk and Flint. We retired to the Ritz at Bachelor's Gulch for the $20 nachos (incredibly, they are worth it) just in time to make it up the last Bach Gulch Express (closes at 3:30). A quick run down Intertwine got us back to the IBC in time for Mrs. DBtv's salon treatment and my last three trips down a bumped up President Ford's Run to practice my mogul skills (hate the bumps but gotta learn how to deal).
All in all, an epic day for April. Incredible 87" depth still resident and less population density than high season made it one unforgettable session.
It's a massive drag that the resort must close next weekend, because there will be a lot of snow left on the table.

The three Rs used to be Reading, Riting, and Rythmetic. But that was a long time ago, and woefully grammatically askew, so we've replaced them with the three Ts: Text, Tunes, and Toons. Try to tell us that this 'twasn't terrific.
So many DVDs, which to choose and which to avoid?
Is that the Super Mario Bros with Captain Lou as live action Mario at the beginning?
If you want to relive the nostalgia of your mario brothers cartoons don't do it. My brothers and I bought the DVD's a while back and it broke our hearts.
We remembered it as a great show worth waking up at 5 AM to watch. Then we watched the DVDs and the voices switch places, writing was awful and it didn't really even have a campy feel.
I might have to go back and re-watch, we were too bummed to go back and watch them to see if it was so bad it's good.
Also, This was like, 5 years ago, so my youngest brother was 6 or 7 and he loved them. So if you're getting them for your kids chances are they'll like them, just not so much the nostalgic 20'something

Balloons and FacepaintingBy Tracy N on 23/01/2013 11:20:15 AM
We had Nadia arrive for our 4 year old's party, she was patient and never rushed us. We ended up with only 6 children, so Nadia painted faces and arms and then made the best balloons I have ever seen. We had a little Mermaid theme, so my little miss got an Arial balloon, there was also the incredible Hulk and one on my favourites was a Helicopter with Spiderman hanging off (...) Read more

Garments engineered with Dare 2b's Ared fabrics provide truly durable waterproofness, keeping water out through prolonged use in harsh conditions and demanding terrain. We measure the waterproof level or hydro static head of all our garments and offer a full hierarchy of performance, starting at 5,000mm all the way up to 20,000mm.
All Ared products are classified as truly windproof and hold up against the most demanding standards, which help to preserve the body's thermo regulation and keep the user comfortable. Breathability is also key for reducing overheating and perspiration build up. Ared products allow sweat to pass through and escape in the form of moisture vapour. We ensure under testing that during heavy exertion our fabrics must breathe well to a standard of 10,000/m2/24hrs.
Several of our premium performance garments are engineered utilising stretch technology making them ideal for high energy activities by providing uncompromised freedom of movement. The use of stretch fabrics also means each garment contains less material and therefore reduces weight and bunching of excess fabric.
Our Ared garments have been tested in real-life conditions extensively. If you are not satisfied with any of Ared products we will repair, replace or refund your purchase for up to 3 years.
Designed with stretch for an active fit and freedom of movement

Alright, so my neighbor, the same one that called code enforcement on me this spring greets me in my driveway yesterday evening. I thought, surely she is here to give me more sh..., crapola, about my bees visiting her pond but no.She came to tell me that this past Monday night or Tuesday rather 2am, 6 vehicles were broken into.I've had stuff walk over the yrs and I've even stopped a few crimes from happening, one involved two guys trying to steal a motorcycle last yr.So, why does the penalty not fit the crime? I believe an eye for an eye. You get caught stealing, you lose a finger, next time, if there is a next time, you lose a hand.You rape, you lose...If the penalty is extreme you don't do the crime, right? Pretty simple right? ...JP
i dont know about dont do the crime (theres some real idiots out there), but sure dont do it twice!

You Love Her Coz She's Dead: New Single and Debut Album News
This news couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Feeling all sorts of "in a fit of ragey" mode today, grins are bearing on this beastly mug now, thanks to the news that You Love Her Coz She's Dead are just about ready to dish out their new single, and then another new single, and then finally their full length debut album. The UK duo is the equivalent, or shall we say, answer to Canada's Crystal Castles or even Germany's Digitalism, and since first loving up on 'em a good 2+ years back, the time is nigh to revisit their radness.
Elle and Jay Dead's self-titled debut album will be properly outed on Valentines Day, but not before initial single, Sunday Best, sees light on November 29. A follow up track will then be released on January 31.
If you can't wait until then, fear not my dear beastlings. You get an advance of the new single below, which is in part noise and electroclash, and in whole...amazing.
Get. It. Now.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Tony Furtado & Dirk Powell
Furtado continued touring and recording music, playing with some of his favorite artists such as Béla Fleck and Earl Scruggs. He released Within Reach in 1992 with the help of bluegrass luminaries Jerry Douglas, Alison Krauss, Stuart Duncan, and David Grier, and headed out on the road in support of the record, as well as touring and cutting an album with Sugarbeat, a folk-funk-acoustic-bluegrass band.
Furtado's eclectic approach in playing swing, jazz, Celtic folk, and old-timey music won him comparisons to Ry Cooder's early-'70s recordings, and also earned him a following in the jam band community. Released in 1994, Full Circle marked Furtado's third album and a discovery of his passion for acoustic blues and slide guitar, citing musical influences like Cooder and Blind Willie Johnson. He continued to draw upon his own musical influences and honing a personal sound on 1997's Roll My Blues Away, a powerful, blues-driven record produced by Cookie Marenco (Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Charlie Haden, Oregon). He jammed with country alternative rock fiddler/accordion player Dirk Powell for their self-titled collaboration two years later, as well as a rock-intensive album, Tony Furtado Band, that offered a full band including Buckethead.
His next solo album, American Gypsy, appeared on the What Are Records? label in 2002. After releasing a live album documenting the tour supporting American Gypsy, Furtado connected with the independent Funzalo Records label, where he released six albums between 2004 and 2011 while keeping up his busy tour schedule. In 2014, Furtado decided to strike out on his own, financing a new project through Kickstarter and releasing the results himself. Furtado's crowdsourcing campaign easily exceeded its goals, and in 2015 he released a digital EP, Copper and Tin, in advance of full-length album The Bell. ~ MacKenzie Wilson & Mark Deming

6 volt-12 volt battery question
I could be mistaken', but I'm sure that I have seen in a hotrod before... a battery that is sort of two 6 volt batteries in one. It is a single battery with two sets of terminal-posts.... the first set is for the stock 6 volt system, the second set of posts is for the 12 volt system. where can I get one of these? please. If I'm mistaken' about this battery.... then my second question is...... could i put two 6 volt batteries in line one after the other (just like two batteries in a flahlight), then for the newer stuff that requires 12 volts use both 6 volt batteries in tandom, and everything else just tap off of the first battery; or would the amperage be different with two 6 volt batteries than it is with one 12 volt battery?
Also, if I did either of these two things... putting a 12 volt pull on an alternator that was origanaly charging 6 volts, would I need to put a different alternator in the car? thank you for any information I might get in reguards to this. Sincerely; Rob
:pimp: Doc here, :pimp:
:welcome: Welcome to the Forums! :welcome:
I'm not sure exactly what your asking..
First I need to establish what type of vehicle were dealing with? and 6 volt or 12 volt?
Next , I did a brief search..I found nothing that exists in a duel voltage battery, You may be confusing it for those that were 2~ 12 volt battery's in one (had 4 terminals) and if one half went dead, you could jump from the other half..Or maybe one with duel terminals (side and top post)
The old "SOFT TOP" 12 volt non maintenance free battery's had two flat lead terminals on the top , where if you tapped between them, you could get 6 volts..But I haven't seen one of these in years..
You can put 2 Six volt battery's in series to get 12 volts, but on a 6 volt car it has to be hooked up : one battery hooked to power and ground on the Vehicle, Then a Cable run from the positive of the first battery, to the Negative of the second battery, then a Power cable off that to a 12 volt buss...The down shot is, the #2 battery would never get a charge.
I don't think even an isolator will work because #2 battery must be separated from the vehicle system or else it will (can) produce 12 volts..you'd have to come up with a pretty complicated automated cable switching system to make it work.
The Danger in running a duel voltage system is in future you can make a mistake and accidentally grab a 12 volt wire and hook it into a 6 volt system, and fry things..including the harness..or your whole rod (older vehicles didn't have fuse links ) Charging is usually a hassle, and replacement parts must be thought out..(Gee, was that 6 volts or 12 volts?)
You can't charge 12 volts on a 6 volt system..The generator won't reach enough speed to do so, and If it did, the regulator won't allow it to go that high.You can do it the other way around, and regulate it for 6 volts...but this is whistling past the graveyard..If the regulator fails, you will overcharge the battery and possibly explode it.
If you feel you need 12 volts, the BEST thing to do is plan a harness upgrade to 12 volts..Older wire is cotton clad, soaks up 50 + years of oil, gas and grease..and will support a flame..AND act like a FUSE or WICK if ignited!
To upgrade your system, you need to change :
All the lighting
Alternator/generator swap out
Horn relay
Heater motor and Speed controller
Wiper motor and speed controller
You can run the stock instrumentation on a dropping resistor as well as a stock radio (if retro theme)
You can run a 6 volt motor at 125% of rated value, but you drastically shorten It's lifespan..so starters , heater and wiper motors should be upgraded. The Solenoid WILL NOT run on 12 volts..(besides, 6 volt stuff is getting hard to find anymore as a "SHELF ITEM" where 12 volt stuff that will fit the block are standard.
If your wipers are vacuum, It's a good time to upgrade to electric..at best consider a vacuum canister for continued operation going uphill..
Install fuse links if your new harness does not already have them, and I'd put them on your 6 volt system now while planning the change to avoid tragic fires.
That's about it..
There are good cheap harness makers out there , if you do a search or go to the thread at the top of this forum (comparing harness makers) and plan around one.
Try this http://www.antiqueautobattery.com/prod011.htm
I have used one of these in an old International Utility tractor for a couple of years. I use only the 12 volts to the starter and Delco alternator.. 6 volts power the rest of the system.

Hey Bob, Nice link to some great time saving batteries!
I think it can be done like this too {the generator ground diode could probably be eliminated}:
although I'd just take the simple and clean approach of the Optimas it is nice to know how the system works.
re: 6 volt-12 volt battery question
I used one of these 12 volt batteries with a 6 volt tap in about 1965. I had a 324 Olds in my 40 Ford. I used the 12 volt portion for the starter and electric fuel pump and the 6 volt tap for everything else. What I didn't know at the time was to make sure the 12 volts ran through a resistor so I kept on frying the points. The 12 volt generator seemed to keep everything charged fairly well even with the battery relocated to the trunk. One thing I did use was battery cables made for six volt (heavier wire guage) system. I wouldn't do it now but it worked when I was 19. I drove that car from Regina, Saskatchewan (north of North Dakota) to San Francisco and back in 1966. I just sold it last year.

Blueberries to Potatoes: Farming in Maine
Not part of the American "farm belt," Maine nonetheless has been known over the years for a few agricultural items, especially blueberries, sweet corn, potatoes, apples, chickens and dairy products.
Fair Season: Crops, Livestock, and Entertainment
Agricultural fairs, intended to promote new techniques and better farming methods, have been held since the early 19th century. Before long, entertainments were added to the educational focus of the early fairs.
Named for the two largest things in Maine at the turn of the 20th century, Mt. Katahdin and Granger of Stetson, were known as the Largest Oxen in the World. Unable to do farm work because of their size, they visited fairs and agricultural events around the Northeast.

My first designer handbag was my 18s birthday gift. It was a pleasant handbag, but I dropped it after 7 days and yes it was one of my saddest things.
I'd been trying to purchase a same handbag and comfort myself. Sadly, the handbag was quite popular and sold out quickly! Poor me!
Just few days before, I ran across this web store. It does not take biggest online luxury store and that i finally got my handbag back! Dont miss your loves.

James, Jackson Earn MAAC Softball Weekly Honors
EDISON, NJ - The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference has awarded softball weekly honors to seniors Allyssa James and Sarah Jackson after the Gaels went 6-2 this past week, including 6-0 in conference play. James was named Player of the Week while Jackson earned Pitcher of the Week honors.
James batted .462 (12-26) this past week for the Gaels. In game one against Manhattan, she went 1-4 with an RBI. Against Fordham, James had two of Iona's 17 hits along with two runs batted in as the Gaels handed the Rams their first home loss of the season, winning 6-2. In game one against Saint Peter's this weekend, James went 2-3 before going 3-3 with three runs batted in in game two. In a doubleheader with Siena this weekend, she went a combined 3-5, including a 2-3 effort in game two. Over the past twelve games, James has improved her batting average 75 points from .196 to .271 for the season and is leading the Gaels with a .366 batting average in conference games.
Jackson pitched to an earned run average of 0.22 over five appearances, posting a mark of 4-1. Against Manhattan, Jackson went seven innings, allowing just one hit and striking out ten in a 7-0 Gaels win. In a relief appearance against Fordham, Jackson earned the win after allowing no runs, four hits and one walk in four innings in a 6-2 Gaels win. Against Rutgers, Jackson allowed one run and five hits while striking out nine, earning the tough luck loss in a 1-0 game. Against Saint Peter's, Jackson allowed five hits, one unearned and struck out eight in a 3-1 Gaels win. Jackson wrapped up the week with a complete game shutout against Siena, striking out 12 and allowing just three hits. It marked the third consecutive season she has recorded double digit strikeouts in her start against Siena.
The Gaels conclude the regular season Sunday when they host Marist in the team's final MAAC doubleheader of the season. Iona sits atop the MAAC standings with a record of 11-3 in conference play, and looks to clinch its second regular season championship in three years this Sunday.

text: AJ has in fact played the 3 spot (technically) during his first two years here, if you count pre-season. I'm of the school that believes AJ can play that spot; similar to another 6-10 high-schooler (R. Lewis). That's not to suggest AJ is in that class (yet), nor would he be a "prototypical" SF, but I'd rather see him snap up any minutes available if Hays slumps.

The Biloxi Wildlife Management Area is located in Upper St. Bernard Parish about 40 miles east of New Orleans. It is accessible only by boat via commercial launches at Hopedale and Shell Beach. The 42,747 -acre tract is owned and leased to the Department by the Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation. The area is a low brackish to saline marsh. A few oak trees are present on old ridges but the major vegetation includes marshhay cord grass, black rush, hog cane, smooth cord grass, saltgrass, glasswort, and three square. Widgeon grass is the main submerged aquatic plant occurring there.
A tremendous number of bayous, sloughs and potholes make the Biloxi tract an excellent producer of fish, shrimp, crabs, waterfowl, and furbearers. The few canal spoil banks and ridges scattered throughout the marsh provide escape for birds and mammals from rising water levels during storms or high tides. Game species hunted on the area include rabbits, rails, gallinules, snipe, ducks, and geese. Major ducks present in winter are lesser scaup, teal, wigeon, gadwall, shoveler, and mottled duck with lesser concentrations of pintail and mallard. Blue and snow geese are normally found on Biloxi although not in large numbers. Fur animals present include nutria, muskrat, mink, raccoon, otter, and opossum. Alligators are also found on the area.
Fish species common on the area include speckled trout, redfish, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, and croaker. Large catches of crabs and shrimp are often taken by both sportsmen and commercial fishermen.
Besides hunting and fishing, other forms of recreation available are boating, crabbing, shrimping, and bird watching.
Vessels/Vehicles: All Airboats, ATVs/UTVs, motorcycles, horses, and mules are prohibited. Mud boats or air cooled propulsion vessels can only be powered by straight shaft "long-tail" air-cooled mud motors that are 25 total horsepower or less. All other types of mud boats or air cooled propulsion vessels, including "surface-drive" boats, are prohibited.

So I'm attempting to do a Jango Fett OS. This is my first post on TDH and I'd love whatever input you guys have. I wanted to do a custom gun, something that looked a bit clunkier that pre-dates Jango's AOTC blasters so I'm working on combining these two guns into one.
Attachment 70543
Also I put a helmet together. It's my first helmet I've ever done and I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out.
Attachment 70542
I was looking at Jango's knee armor and noticed it was different from the Boba Fett WoF templates that are available. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accurately make some Jango knee armor? Also can anyone tell me how to rotate a photo. I'd hate for more progress pics to be sideways.

Re: outboard for sailboat?
What pitch prop did you use on the 9.9 Johnson?
Re: outboard for sailboat?
For what its worth, our 1970 Vivacity 24 has had an extra long 25" 9.9 2-stroke Johnson for 16 years, had the proper pitched prop so my folks experienced improved performance. Its predecessor was a long 20" 15 hp (same motor, different carb?) with a prop more suited to a none displacement skiff and in following seas the prop would pop out (always a following sea returning to port though Jones Inlet, Long Island, NY) so Mom would often set on the stern pulpit which, despite being a lightweight, improved things a bit.
After the XL began spitting steam (and an overheat...ugh..rebuilt) regularly we retired it and replaced it with a 4-stroke XL Tohatsu. [it was either that or a used OMC, I could not afford new to begin with, let alone a new OMC or Mercury)
Now here's the kicker... er literally... The Johnsons were mounted on a typical OMC bracket with a 1-7/8" thick plywood mounting plate that the motor hung on. I too the 4-stroke and put it right on and we went about our business for the season.
Bringing her in to her winter storage slip off Boston Harbor in early November (yeah, after Sandy, but that's another yarn) I had to demonstrate to the unknown person on the dock tending to his fine sailing yacht that I was a capable seaman and could slip my bought perfectly. So to arrest my way, I chose to use reverse briefly and gently. Except that somehow the throttle revved up (probably hitting he stern cut out?), and my nearly new engine did a reverse flip with a half twist and landed on the water.
It stopped running (thank you lanyard), and it didn't sink (thank you short batter cable clamped in place, well sealed enclosure and especially thank you adrenal glands). The mounting board broke across the two upper bolts which bolt it to the bracket. I made a new one out of 1-7/8" lam-beam and sealed it and mounted it . In maneuvering the motor down into the water Something Happened (credit due to Joe Heller, thanks Joe) and my beautiful new mount cracked the same way, still held together by some thread.
I made up another mounting block out of 2"x8" rough oak running grain vertically, and that worked despite an abrupt drop into the water.
So I am looking for a better way to carry that 4-stroke someplace sturdy astern. A set of inclined rails on the stern? Maybe right into the trapezoidal notch in the stern? I get the sense that the further forward the prop is, the better. Any thoughts? The Mayer thing in another thread seems too bulky a contraption.
I have hauled the boat for bottom repairs, inside ballast corrosion repairs, rub rail replacement and other less daunting tasks
I mounted a 1972 40hp Evinrude on the back of a 1972 Pearson 36' sailboat. WE custom made the bracket and made a backing plate on the inside of the transom. Its held up for a year now with no issues(other then the motor giving up on life). If you make a backer for the mounting plate, it should be ok, just keep an eye on where the transom meets the hull sides.
On the otherhand, does anyone think a longshaft 15hp outboard would be enough power to keep the pearson going? The 40 is needed for another boat and ive found an extra longshaft 15hp Johnson to use. Ive moved the boat before with a shortshaft 15hp motor and had alot of cavation issues. I figure its enough power as long as the prop stays in the water. 15hp isnt far off what the little diesel was.
Prop pitch
On your outboard, what prop pitch do you have?
I sold my 8hp 300lb inboard and got a Honda outboard. It came with a 9" pitch prop. I am thinking a 7" would be best. Maybe less. What do you have?
Outboard mount
Seems like a lot of 'what-if's' out there. I had issues with my inboard Atomic 4 on a 1970 Cal 28. Decided to go the outboard route instead of hassle with another rebuild. I use a Yamaha 9.9 High-thrust model with a 25" shaft. I've used two mounting options- both the inboard well and a sailboat outboard bracket.
For the outboard bracket:
Pros: Easy to get the motor on/off, tilt-up available, easy to flush after sailing (lean over the side and attach the flushing rig)
Con: Hunk of metal hanging over te side.... It looks like all auxilliary outboards, not quite as pretty. Maintenance was sometimes an issue, especially with small parts. I rigged a catch bag around the motor to prevent losing stuff to Neptune
Inboard well:
Pros: Looks sharper, less chance of losing tools (although they fall through the hole just as easy) and the fuel/control lines were shorter
Cons: Difficult to pull out/ put in, since it required a lot of wiggling to fit into the factory cut out.
All told, I got 6-7 kts in the harbor, 5-6 kts open water with the 9.9, vice 4-5 kts with my Atomic. I reinforced the transom with 1"x6" oak planks where the bolts for the outboard bracket went in. I saw a little flex at full throttle. Using yamaha cables, I used my existing engine controls, then rigged a new fuel tank. The old one leaked and the boat smells better inside now.
I noticed little change in pitch with the extra weight on the stern. With the Atomic out, I've got extra storage for stuff and noticed better sailing characteristics with less weight. This boat has 2200 lbs of encapsulated lead for ballast.
Good luck with the decisions, it's tough. I did all the work myself and it definitely wasn't all clock work. Then again, anytime I had questions I just asked the local outboard shop and they had great answers. Total cost was around $2500 for everything.
|It doesn't really matter 2 stroke or 4. The thing needed for sailboats without a diesel is an outboard with low RPM and large prop. I have a 15 Honda 4 stroke on my 26 footer. I had to replace the prop to get more thrust, went from a 9.25 x 9 to a 10 x 5. picked up 3 knots of boat speed. When your 35 miles from the nearest inlet to get outside that 3 knots cuts your travel time in half.
|The Watkins 25 was 'designed' for a 9 horse inboard Diesel. The option was for an o/b. The backing plate is only added if the option is chosen. 4 stroke version is 25lbs heavier than my 2 cycle...not a big deal on my boat...even less of a problem on a 30' boat. Also I'm not pushing 2 cycle here just giving an example of real life that works not theory or opinion.
|I've always had a warm spot for 2 strokes, the old ones,with carburetors and running pre-mix. And I fought against the dominance of Honda and other foreign companies longer than most, you know, "Rather paddle my Johnson than drive a rice burner". Anyway, couple years ago when I needed new engine for the dink I started shopping and ran into this little catch 22, needless to say I'm now the proud owner of a Honda 4 stroke 2 HP. Recently I've seen some new really small (1.5 to 3 hp) from American Companies, but at that time Honda was the only one with an engine lighter than a 4 HP available to us here. Oh well, at least I'm still drivin' a GMC.
|Four-stroke engines are considerably heavier than their two-stroke counterparts in general.
Originally Posted by capttb

So I'll stick with it being difficult to buy a new small 2 stroke.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 105
Think we´ll just have to agree to differ R.John. I also agree with Nicole about trades, being selective about trading in person doesn´t make you a dick.
hy boys and girls! I'm from faraway Russia and I write my final scientist work in the university on the topic of russian zine's. I'm full of rassian "samizdat" stories and now it's time to read smth about west self-print experiense. could you give me please some links on books and articles about first zines??or may be some of you hase photocopies?
thanks from nordic bears and mr.Putin and excuse y english)
I didn't say it made you a dick, I just said it was a dick move. Of course there are extenuating circumstances- I wouldn't expect anyone to trade for a neo-Nazi zine, but on the whole I would say if you're at a fest just have a sign at the table saying you don't do trades. That way if you see something you're interested in you can make the offer but there won't be any obligation. I know i'd feel like a dick rejecting some poor sap's trade.
What's OP stand for? I still haven't worked it out.
Is it possible, or even desirable, to make a clear distinction between magazines, newspapers, and zines?
Yes. Because all three of them are completely different things.
So while it's probably desirable to many to make clear distinctions between those labels (which is really all they are) it's not 100% possible.

I know R&B does wonders on armor but can it be applied to blasters also? Mine has a lot of hard to reach spots and crevices. I've heard R&B needs a good friction going that I'm afraid I won't be able to generate on parts of the blaster. Any suggestions? Should I sand the already smooth plastic before hand?

Arsène Wenger says Arsenal have had to adapt their attacking approach due to the absence of any recognised full backs.
With Bacary Sagna, Carl Jenkinson, Andre Santos and Kieran Gibbs out injured, the Gunners have been relying on centre backs to fill in for them.
Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou have acquitted themselves well but Wenger admits there has been a knock-on effect.
"We are a bit more cautious going forward because a centre back is not a full back," he told Arsenal Player.
"Maybe we are a little bit more resilient defensively and a bit stronger in the air but overall it doesn't change a lot and we still try to play out from the back with our passing game. It's changed it a little bit."

I won a RS voice Amp off ebay. The speaker is kind of large. How does everyone make use of this? Have you taken it apart? hide it under something? Photos whold be great id anyone has then.
I asked the same question before and it wasn't addressed. I am also curious.
I think you can put it in one of the large belt pouches or maybe even the thigh pockets.
I may buy one myself and try it out. They're like $55 CDN up here in Canada.
Stuff it in a large belt pouch or put it behind your back or under your vest bottom.
I stuffed mine in a large belt pouch, no problems and works great.
I have a Jango Suit and don't have large pockets, The belt pouches are to small.
Hi all,
I was thinking of joining 3 or 4 of the ammo pouches together to make one big pouch and putting the unit inside, it my work for Jango as well.
Has anybody seen or tried this amp its from Maplin
I have the infamous radioshack one. Its too big, but the sound is great. I tried to dismantle it, but its hard in the middle to break apart. Im just gonna place it in one of the side pouches until i find another way.
Hey I'm looking for a voice amp and cant seem to find one can anyone tell me the model name or number for the radio shack voice amp??
Hey Tguntony... you can usually find one on eBay for under
$100, sometimes much less. Search "fett voice amp" and you
should see the black Radio Shack model. I don't see any
today, but I guarantee you'll see one within a week or two.

Repost from nearly identical thread in the Jango forum:
I took mine apart, replaced the battery connection to run off a 9V battery, and i stuck all the guts in the helmet. I extended the wires for the speaker itself and used a small plug so I could disconnect it easily. The speaker will either go under my chest/ab armour, or possibly in my neck seal.
Here it is minus the 9V battery connector.
I'll have pics of it in my helmet soon.
Hey JFJ... have you had any noticeable problems using the 9V
battery? Even though the math adds up, one 9V doesn't work
the same as six 1.5V batteries.
The 6 AA batteries, each at 1.5V, total to 9V. It may not last as long, but its a heck of a lot easier to swap them.
If you're using alkaline batteries, the 9V will equal the 6 AA batteries in terms of voltage. However, the capacity of a 9V battery (which translates to battery life) is about 1/4 that of the AAs.
If you're using rechargables, like NiCds, the voltages may not be equal either ... some manufacturers use 6 cells (giving an actual 7.2V, while others use 7 cells (8.4V). 9V has come to be a term for the size/shape of the battery, moreso than the actual useable voltage.
End of my almost useless lesson.
Only a 1/4 as long? Well I guess I'll just have to not talk so much
Thanks for completing my thought, shackman! I knew one 9V
was NOT equivalent to six 1.5Vs (AAs), but I couldn't
remember how exactly. Too bad the 9V doesn't measure up,
cuz it really would be easier to swap out than six AAs!
Not to mention much lighter and more compact.
Keep in mind that the figure I gave (1/4 as long) is based on rated capacity. The capacity of a 9V varies from one manufacturer to the other (I mean more than what I've seen on other types), but was roughly 600mAh on the last one I recall testing. The capacity on a AA is about 2Ah (2000mAh) ... so not quite 4 times as much. You may want to say 1/3 the battery life, to be conservative?
In addition to Shackman's invaluable info, on a practical level I found that swapping the multiple AA's for a 9v set up also decreased the volume slightly, meaning that you have to turn it up to get the same results, which then increases the drain on an already less effective battery.
To get back to the subject matter, I mounted my speaker under my right shoulder bell. No one (except kids and ewoks) can see it, but it's as loud as you like, and sufficiently close to the bucket that the voice appears to be coming from the right place, and there's no feedback.
Yikes...so, is it really worth it to use a 9V battery, or is there some other alternative to wearing 6 AAs in the helmet?
Come to think of it, I saw this guy was making Setups for Stormtrooper helmets where the speakers would transmit through the aerators on the fromt of the helmet. I'm sure it wouldn't be at all hard to modify it to work with a Boba/Jango Helmet.
I think this is the site you're talking about
I used that tutorial, except I kept the big speaker for now and made it on a plug. Still gotta figure out how I'm mounting the speakers for sure, I may put them under my shoulder bells.
What about putting the amp circiutyr, batteries, and speaker all in the chest (or speaker in the chest, and the rest in a pouch) ... but have a mic with detachable plug routed up into the helmet? Run the mic cable under the neck seal, and no one would even see it.
Actually most 9V batts are only 150mAh, while AAs are 1500mAh. If I did the math correct, that is a 10x difference!
I think the stated 1/3 number may be on the low side...
Don't wait for one to "possibly" show up on ebay & hassle with the bidding
It's only 45 bucks,easier to disassemble & very loud.
Do you have any photos of this?

Not anymore, I scrapped the idea, found it far to impractical. Much easiser to wear the mic the way it comes, on your head. I put the speaker and batteries/curciot board in the side pouches.

Hello guys i use bt, for some while about a year, just for curiosity. I have a simples question, backtrack is just and ONLY, for security testing or i can also be used for standard use, same as Ubuntu, Debian, etc?
I wanted to replace ubuntu for backtrack, but i also want to be available to do the same things i used to do in ubuntu (normal stuff)... I think i can be done.
But i want to know what you think!
