could i get just a set of knees?
I'm going on the assumption that the price is for the full set. So my question is will you be offering individual parts after these runs?
This may have been posted else where, but possibly I could just purchase one item? I would like a just backplate.... ???
Also, what type of camera you using?
BTW - Awesome job!!!
Yep, +1tk7602 said:
And... Can you sell for me the butt piece only with the knees? Please I lost it in a moving. The V.2 Cod goes OK with the V.3 Butt?
Thank you very much.
PM Sent for this lovely piece of work

We've talked briefly about this already so hope I can get in on it too!
thanks, jon/shunned
Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the delay The price is indeed locked at $250 + S/H.
I'm about ready to post the "serious" list. If my calculations are right, we blew out the first 10
It's ok though. Got it covered. The list will be on the first post, right underneath the pretty picture, with other pertinent info
Answers to questions ...
Knees. Butt Plate. Parting out
The short answer is, sure, not a problem. The only caveat is that I want to make sure to have enough plastic for complete sets. So if those that want just parts can wait until it's clearer as to what additional i need to order, I can cover it. I can post a partial "Parting out list".
Dents. As of this VERY MOMENT .... they are DENTLESS. Spideyfett and I talked about this the other day as a matter of fact. And it was pretty much agreed, that I should provide them as a blank palette again because of the various mix and match versions. And I wasn't looking forward to making a second vac mold for the knees "AT THE MOMENT" to have more than one version. But I'm not opposed to it, if we can come to an agreement. I really do want to please.
Now, what I mean is, it's not too late for this to go down - with dents. It will take me a half hour to implement the dents into the existing vac mold. So no big deal there. It will take me about 4 hours to duplicate the existing vac mold for a second version. However, we need to come up with a "standard". What is the most popular, what is preferred. If it's as simple as ESB / ROTJ screen accurate, I'll do it for you. If we're talking getting crazy and wanting exhibit mismatches, or pre-pro's ... no can do. Right now.
So if we can keep this simple stupid (ESB / ROTJ) ... you got me. If someone could post a couple of good screen shots of each version real quick, I'd appreciate it. Because I don't have time to be going through ref CD's and DVD's at the moment.
So say we all ?
I would say ESB screen accurate knee dents, but then again that is the look I am going for with my BF.
Full ESB treatment for me...
I like the knees as a blank palette. Call me crazy, but I think it would be nice to have all the armor pieces that way so that people can add their own dents or not at all for some prepro parts. Now natually I know you problably dont have the room for all those molds, so here's a thought; What about making an insert that you can pop right in to the dents and any tiny seem would be invisible through the .090 plastic.
That way you can pop them in and out as people request.
I'm in for a ROTJ full set, dents O'plenty please!!!
I actually considered this man The problem now, is there is really no definitive line on the dents anymore. There is a VERY important "Feathering" effect on them now. And that "feathering" out is different from version to version, especially on the armor. But it is a great idea !
Updated the first post with the list, pricing and payment info.

This game, and the first one were such turds. It amazes me people would actually play this more than one single try. Just poorly made on all fronts, an absolute waste of video game space.
This game, and the first one were such turds. It amazes me people would actually play this more than one single try. Just poorly made on all fronts, an absolute waste of video game space.
Final Fantasy 14: Level 50 (ilvl 96) WHM, Level 50 (ilvl 90) BLM, Level 50 SCH, Level 50 SMN.
Guild Wars 2: (Ehmry Bay) 64 Ranger.
Diablo 3: 70 Wizard, 60 Demon Hunter, 60 Witch Doctor, 65 Paragons.
Wildstar: 37 Spell Slinger DPS.
ArcheAge: 50 Gypsy.
Trove: On and off. 20 Candy Barb. 20 Neon Ninja. Have all classes.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions but the first game was far from turd.
Everyone was so against how it turned out and there's really only one reason for that, they wanted some FPS third person environment and instead we were given a quick hack n slash third person environment.
Then there's the issue of people having something against the play styles that developed and to be honest there no valid reason to hate it unless you couldn't do k-style. If a player who hated it could do it they most likely couldn't do it better than a person that loved the game.
No one can contend that leading and different levels of playing were true value to that game. It wasn't simple shooting, it was more so that you only deserved to be shot at if a person could aim. Then it was a whole different story when people got close to each other in combat, whoever got caught slippin dies.
Regardless, game was great for WHAT IT WAS. If you expected, Halo, CoD, or some easy piece of shit, then you were gravely mistaken.
Pride is a wonderful trait.

"I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world."
Tupac Shakur
- There was no natural progression of skill
- No proper counter play
- WAY too macro friendly
- Wasn't very fun to watch for public spectators that don't know how K-style worked
There's a reason that the competitive scene for GunZ 1 never took off, you know. While games like Quake 3 Arena or Street Fighter or Super Smash Bros. Melee or whatever (the ones that K-style supporters keep comparing GunZ 1 to) are still being played today with moderate competitive scenes, because they have gameplay that allows for individuality, as well as a natural progression of skill. GunZ 1 didn't allow for any individuality or natural skill progression, because of how limited players were in high level competition, and decent k-style users would sometimes discourage new players by playing against them.
If you wanted to K-style properly: You HAD to use shotguns. You HAD to use revolvers. You HAD to use katanas (and MAYBE rocket launchers during clan wars.) and that was about it. Trying to use any other weapon type in high level play was pointless D-style doesn't come anywhere close to being an effective play style compared to K-style. And E-style was... just playing the game normally but with some K-style tricks thrown in.
No one can deny that K-style helped to give GunZ 1 some lasting appeal, but it had way too many cons than pros. This is coming from someone that knows how to K-style moderately well.
And it's funny because K-style wasn't even all that deep. People always boast how many amazing techniques are possible in GunZ 1, but all you really needed to know was these three moves: Butterfly. Slashshot. Wall Slash. THAT'S ALL. All the other techs that people came up with were superfluous crap.

Currently playing:
hacks got horrible, remember the worst of them called "The Locust Plague"? where hackers could delete your characters? yeah that made me rage quit gunz1. hopefully gunz2 is made so monstrous hacks like that won't be able to exist.
otherwise when gunz first came out and kstyle was not out yet, the game was fun. after ksytle came out i was frustrated with this new development. So i decided to try out kstyle myself it was hard but kinda fun. but when i think about it, I loved gunz even with the glitch that made you submit and learn or die fast deaths.
now that they have tried to make the new game without too much animation canceling it might be fun. but then again i have seen some videos with people already learning animation canceling techniques just by playing the game.
So I don't know how this will turn out, but it will be a ride for sure.
The animation cancels that people came up with for GunZ 2 are great, and really help to distinguish play styles even further. Main difference between the ones in GunZ 2 and GunZ 1 is that they're nowhere near is game breaking.
Currently playing:
So basically, it's just too bad the two couldn't(somehow) exist alongside one-another.
Nice to see though a counter argument for k-styling that's calm and to the point without trying to be passive aggressive/shitposting.
Always worried about k-style discussions on here because they tend to just become people flaming each other.
The whole counter play issue was thought provoking. I just never really thought it applied to Gunz at the time. Any game with a META has that particular issue.
It is much easier to see the huge problems behind the way the game defined itself. Lack of variety in play style being the big bummer. However, I don't think the developers had much of a choice, it was either k-style or no k-style. There could have been another way but at the very core it was still a game defined by the user behind the screen.
Everything about spectating and a competitive scene, I cannot say much about. I may be a fan of the game but I don't think it would have ever reached a level where people enjoyed spectating or competitive play.
Also, any outside tool is bound to ruin any sort of game. There's not much to do about it except stopping it in the first place. Gunz is surely not the worst example of a game plagued by hacks or 3rd party program abuse.
My opinion is as bias as the person I was quoting though, it came from the perspective of a person who was OK with a lack of variety.
Pride is a wonderful trait.
Hopefully no hackers this time around. Can't stand games with hackers
I honestly liked Gunz without the whole K-style BS that people were enforcing people to get better at. Let's be real, I hated K-style for the exact reason, and there was no way to get better at the game without learning it. Unfortunately you couldn't even learn it since it was that specific. If there was a way everyone could learn it, I wouldn't have a problem. Unfortunately, Maiet didn't bother telling the general casual community how to utilize it.
Personelly i enjoyed Gunz up to the point K-Style became rampent...it was an annoying thing to see thought that game was called "Gunz" for a reason to fight with guns...not "Fly around like a chinese movie" as your opponents happily fly around and destroy you with ease.....
and the hit detection was so bad realy I was realy good at using Revolvers and would use my smg's when I was out of ammo for revolvers... and I would be nailing people with full clips just to found out they were either never hit in general or were only hit 2 or 3 times out of the 20+ times that shoulda sank in o_O
Oh right sorry.
It even has the 4td character Rena. She's definitely my favorite now.
Can anyone even play a match?
Well, the game is so broken no one can even start a match and it lags like every 10 seconds LOL. I feel bad for the people who were closely following this.

The Commissioner's Cup is awarded annually as a symbol of overall excellence in athletics in the 24 championship athletic events conducted within the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Marist's Success
Marist has captured 12 overall Commissioner's Cups since joining the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in 1998. Marist is the first school in the history of the MAAC to sweep all three categories (overall, men's and women's), five times. In total the Red Foxes have won 30 Commissioner's Cups:
(8): 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2013
(11): 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016
(12): 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014
For sports without a championship event or a regular-season required schedule, points are assigned based on the number of competing varsity teams. Each team receives points based on its finish, with the last place team receiving one point and the champion receiving a bonus point. Teams that are tied by record or point total in standings shall split the points for those positions, regardless of any further tie-breaking procedures. In sports with associate members, points will be distributed based solely on the finish of the core MAAC teams. The bonus point for the first-place finish will only be awarded if the team actually won the MAAC championship.
For sports with a required regular-season schedule and four-team tournament participation, points are awarded for regular-season performance as indicated above. Championship participants earn additional points in the following schedule: 5-3-2-1. In sports with just semifinals and finals, it is 5-3-1.5-1.5.
For sports with required regular-season scheduling and full tournament participation, points are awarded for regular-season performance and tournament finish. This system is used primarily for men's and women's basketball as well as teams that participate in championship events at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.

Smithgall Woods Regional Education Center
General Information
Smithgall Woods Regional Education Center (SWREC) was established at the Smithgall Woods - Dukes Creek Conservation Area in 1997 in response to the growing demand for hands-on environmental education.
Smithgall Woods is situated on 5,600 acres, most of which was acquired by the state of Georgia through a gift-purchase from Charles Smithgall, Jr., a noted conservationist and entrepreneur. Dedicated as a Heritage Preserve and managed as a conservation area by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR), the park is open to the public. Activities include hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking, wildlife observation, hunting, group camping, upscale lodging and special events.
SWREC offers both onsite and outreach programs for students of all ages in cooperation with GADNR Wildlife Resources Division, GADNR State Parks and Historic Sites Division, and Pioneer RESA. Teacher workshops are held to help teachers learn more about North Georgia's ecosystems and the unique opportunities available at Smithgall Woods while earning PLU credit.
All programs are site-specific and are grounded on biologically-sound principles. GADNR professionals from Parks, Game Management, Fisheries Management and Law Enforcement collaborate to share their personal experiences and expertise on a wide variety of topics. All programs correlate to the Georgia Performance Standards (available upon request).
Two or three hour-long programs can be combined for a half-day field trip experience, or single programs can provide an in-depth study addressing specific educational objectives. Teachers, parents and chaperones are encouraged to participate or even to lead an onsite activity. A variety of habitat types - pond, stream, field and forest - as well as an informative, self-interpretive Discovery Room allow for unlimited educational opportunities.

Even if your wedding is still many months away, it's important to start a beauty and fitness regime right now so your hair, skin, and body will be in peak condition for your wedding day. Here are some ideas on how to get started.
Wash Your Face Sounds simple, but when you're busy, tired, and stressed, your skin care regimen may be the first to go out the window. Be diligent about not only washing your face, but also moisturizing, wearing sunscreen (every day!), and even getting facials or using face masks.
Start Growing Out Your Hair Whether you want a full updo or long, loose, luxurious locks on your wedding day, it's a good idea to start growing your hair out now. While you certainly can use extensions on your wedding day for a fuller look, it's often easiest and less expensive if you go au naturel. While you're growing out your hair, be sure to get trims every so often as well as deep conditioning treatments to keep your locks healthy and shiny.
Get a Workout Buddy Whether it's a fellow newly engaged friend, your significant other, even your mom, it's a good idea to have a friend to exercise with and motivate you when you'd rather lounge on the couch watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo than run laps. Even if you're not trying to lose weight for your wedding day, it's important to start an exercise routine to build stamina for the long night of dancing you have ahead of you.
Stay Healthy It's important to take a multivitamin on a regular basis and stay hydrated by drinking at least eight eight-ounce glasses of water per day. By staying away from junk food, you'll have more energy and your body will certainly thank you.
Maintain Your Hands and Feet Well-manicured hands will allow your gorgeous new ring to shine even more. Exfoliate and moisturize your hands (and feet!) regularly and indulge in manicures and pedicures when you can.
How are you getting your skin, hair, and body ready for your wedding day? Let us know in the comments.

Arsène Wenger has explained the agreement that has temporarily brought highly-promising midfielder Brek Shea to Arsenal.
The 21-year-old American is one of the most exciting talents in the MLS and, with his campaign at FC Dallas now over, the League were looking to place him with a leading European club in order to gain experience.
Arsenal were a natural choice.
Shea will train with "top prospects" at the Club, as well as the first-team. Wenger is keen to give the 6ft 3ins US international a run in the Reserves but he accepts that regulations may scupper that plan.
"It's a training period for him to see what his top level is like," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "The MLS encourage their players to go out to Europe during their off-season for improvement, practice and to have contact with top-level football. That's why Brek Shea is coming here. It is a learning experience for him.
"Brek will train with the first-team when it is possible and practice with the best prospects of the Club as well outside of the normal sessions. There is not a better place than the Premier League to do that."
Shea is one of the three players listed for the MLS Most Valuable Player award this season and Wenger is considering assessing his ability in the Reserve team during his spell in London.
"If it is possible I would like to do it," said Wenger. "We will have to see how it goes because we play many games now and we have to check how it works on the legal side too."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

2 Twists On Traditional Men's Jeans By Chip Foster
Posted by Admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Just when you think you've seen everything in terms of wash, treatment, distressing, and style, a denim designer comes out with something new and exciting to keep consumer wheels turning. Chip Foster has a few new styles we're excited about, ranging from comfortable and stylish to clever and quirky.
The first style is a flannel-blend slim straight fit men's jean. Though slim, the fit is more relaxed, and the 12 oz indigo fabric feels just as comfy as the flannel sheets you put on your bed in the winter.
The second pair is a rainbow nap 12 oz relaxed fit jean. The outside looks like your run-of-the-mill pair of jeans, but the inside features a rainbow spectrum of the threads woven into the nap. That means as your jeans begin to wear and crease, you'll have hints of color showing subtly. How cool is that?
Both pairs of jeans will be available in late August at Nordstrom, Henry Lehr in the Hamptons, Loren in Brooklyn, and Independent in Arkansas. Check back for an expanded list of retailers on the Chip Foster waiting list, or contact email@example.com for details.

I just got a kit in the mail today to make my Hasbro E-11 look more authentic. This would be the first mod I ever done so I could use some help.
My first question would be, what would I use to attach the pieces to the rifle? Would regular super glue do the trick or do you guys use something different to make sure they stay on? Second, I'm pretty sure you have to use paint especially for plastics, but would I have to use Primer first? Any help would be very appreciative.

The wife said fat Al sold it to algazera. They make more sense than he does.
the sad thing was the US government probably gave algazera a $1 billion grant to buy gores bankrupt station --the closing price was $500 mill so the muzilums were paid $500K to take it.
hell i would have bought it on those terms--
Dirka Dirka, Here's Hussein with the weather!
They turned away Glenn Beck, because Gore said he wanted to turn it over to someone with the same beliefs as his. ( honest)
Al Gorejazera TV?
If Al Gore was to do that praying five or six times a day. It could get the blood flowing back to his brain. Chasing cleaning ladies could be good for your cardio.
Yeah, the lefties are in a state of shock over this one. Al Gore is now wealthier than Mitt Romney who he ripped for being "rich" during the election. I thought this report about the staff meeting after Current TV was sold to al Jazeera quite amusing:
And this:Quote:
Of course Al didnt show up, said one high placed Current staffer. He has no credibility.
Hes supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertisingand Al Gore, that bulls***ter sells to the emir?
The meeting, while not contentious, was, according to staffers who spoke on the condition of anonymity, miserable.
The mostly left-leaning groupsome still in denial werent buying what Al Jazeera was selling.
Current situation: Staffers talk about first meeting with Al Jazeera - NYPOST.comQuote:
How do they feel about Gore the savior of green energy now?
The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar.
We all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a bulls***ter, said the staffer bluntly.
We do stories on the tax code, and he sells the network before the tax code kicked in?
Al was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all rightas in cold, hard cash!
Black Blade: Sounds like everyone has a price, and Al Gore has his.

Student Video Blooper Reel
If you've been reading, you know that we've done a series of videos to promo our 75th Anniversary Homecoming week (That's this week!). Here is the 3rd video below. It's not really a blooper reel as much as it was a trick question for the stars to get them all loosened up. Check out what happens when the director (also a student) tells them to say "Don't go to homecoming."

First measurements of the differential positronium-formation cross-sections
Positrons are the antimatter version of electrons and so their fate in a matter world is ultimately to annihilate. However, prior to this, a positron may combine with an electron to form a matter-antimatter hybrid called positronium. This is akin to a hydrogen atom with the proton replaced by a positron. Fundamental to our understanding of the physical universe, positron and positronium are these days also acknowledged as being fantastically useful in practical applications such as probing material properties and medical diagnostics. However, there is still much that we do not know for sure about the details of the interactions of these particles with ordinary matter. For example if, in a collision with an atom or molecule, a positron captures an electron, in which directions is the positronium likely to travel and with what probability? More...

New calculations to improve carbon dioxide monitoring from space
How light of different colours is absorbed by carbon dioxide (CO2) can now be accurately predicted using new calculations developed by a UCL-led team of scientists. This will help climate scientists studying Earth's greenhouse gas emissions to better interpret data collected from satellites and ground stations measuring CO2. More...

New research from UCL has uncovered additional second laws of thermodynamics which complement the ordinary second law of thermodynamics, one of the most fundamental laws of nature. These new second laws are generally not noticeable except on very small scales, at which point, they become increasingly important. More...

Really need help leaking around the grip fram re lubes solenoid got 15 shots then leaked again anything will help
Where around the gripframe? For a while my Vice was leaking around the breach. If that's where it's leaking, try LIGHTLY relubing the poppet and the ram. Check and make sure there are no scratches on the poppet head, otherwise you might need to get a new poppet but they're not very expensive.
My personal problem was I was playing reball and my HPR was actually so low that the pressure wasn't high enough to seal around the poppet. Maybe try raising your HPR and your LPR pressures a tad and see if that helps. If it is by the HPR, try replacing the piston o-ring inside the high pressure regulator.
If it is leaking from the front of the frame, make sure that the racetrack o-ring is not nicked up. Also make sure that the frame is connected to the body pretty snugly and make sure that there is nothing that might be catching to prevent the frame from making a tight seal with the body.
Personally, I wouldn't touch the solenoid. If you're sure it's the solenoid, I would for sure try to see a tech. The solenoid is somewhere I absolutely never want to go. I hope this helps and it's not too late.

Check the hose running from you lpr to you solenoid, the easiest way is to take off your frame and air up your marker. If thats not leaking check the seal between your solenoid and marker, that gasket may bee leaking.

The slapper-on of Grow made no comment as to the amount of time it took to slap it on a shirt, despite the debate raging on about whether it took 5 minutes or 5 hours. You're correct to state he didn't. By saying I'll admit that my design took so little time to finalize (and while I don't know that it was truly 5 minutes, I'd be shocked if the whole ordeal was over a half-hour), I am not saying the other entrant lied, but that they did not respond to the claim at all. As for myself, I'm perfectly happy to have something I consider wearable come out of such a short span of time, not to mention happier still that no one was presumptuous enough or ignorant enough of design to defend it by implying that it clearly took longer.

i had a pretty bad intake manifold leak i fixed last year. i saw no other leaks back there. i never use the rubber pieces of the oil pan gasket kits just solid silicone. it seemed like that was the main leak. the bolts were not very tight either. but i didn't notice anywhere that the cork seemed to be leaking, i am pretty sure the silicone was where. God i hope so, i have it put back together now except for the drive lines and shifters. thanks for the concerns. if i had changed my oil pan gasket when i bought the one piece (sweet unit). i would probably still be running my old clutch with no problems as it still had alot of disc left.
i only put a small amount of graphite grease on the tip of my trans that goes into the pilot bushing, which i did NOT change. put most of it on the front of the splines. i am hoping that is all it needs. i blew that. the new kit came with a bearing but i did not think it was worth while. what does a burned up pilot bushing sound like? i got a feeling i might be finding out. i swear! seems like i want to cut corners on everything i do. recipe for disaster.
|S10 Racer
|A nick in the gasket at the distributor will send lots of oil down the rear of the engine if the engine has a fair amount of blowby. Ask me how I know. I also changed the rear main on the same engine that had sat unused for almost 10 years. Seal was hard as a rock. I lowered the mains a couple of turns to help the seal come out. Put in the new seal and new pan gasket. New leak now. Front pan seal was too thin , needed the thick one. Maybe I can brake clean it and silicone it. Then I started to over think everything. Did I torque ALL the mains, or did I miss one???? Pull it apart and check. Everything was good. Thick pan seal and all is well.
Have you had a good look at the oil pressure(sending unit) port next to the distributor? From there it can leak down onto the belhousing for sure(ask me how I know). Not sure if there is enough gap between the bell housing and the block, but there's for sure no gasket.
It sometime seems I can never get that 1/8" pipe fitting tight enough with out it hitting something.
wow, didn'tknow one existed. i used my one piece gasket. surprised it fits nicely into the Erson gear drive cover. now to figure out how many inch pounds 8 ft lbs is...... then, onto the damned clutch etc
wow that was fast: http://www.unitconversion.org/energy...onversion.html
8ft lbs is 96 inch lbs, 18 is 216. dont ask.
I have stuck a long hex key or a steel rod through one of the clutch bolt holes and locked it against the engine block. Turn the flywheel with one of the fasteners until the hex key contacts and locks against the block. Then use a 2 ft. cheater pipe on a 1/2" drive ratchet to loosen the flywheel bolts. Or you can use a long 1/2" drive breaker bar but I like the cheater pipe better.
I now have a Ingersol Rand 110V electric impact wrench (up to 200 lb./ ft. torque) which makes removing bolts a breeze and no air compressor is needed. I can completely disassemble an engine in one hour with that impact wrench..
okay so i took the pressure plate to the machine shop he said all the oil looking marks are hot spots from slipping. he thought the oil came from elsewhere than the main seal because the crank was clean in between there and the flywheel, the flywheel is clean too for that matter.
he said it definitely needs to be turned, so, anybody want to share how they lock the flywheel in place so i can turn the bolts? i have a round chisel that fits thru one of the pressure plate mounting holes i plan on using. got to look up the torque specs, 55 to 65. awesome, thought they were like 100! lots of fun ahead trying to put the transfer case and trans both in at the same time. i just love it. NOT. and, today is back to it's usual crappy self.
amazing how few posts there are on clutches. must just be a foregone conclusion that you replace everything. with the amount of work involved, i can see why.
I have used a disc sander to resurface a flywheel with less that 50,000 miles on it in order to break the glaze and had good results. You should do that when you replace the clutch disc. If there are grooves or damage to the flywheel surface resulting from a exploding clutch disc, it should be taken to a machine shop and resurfaced.
If you don't pull the engine and fix the rear main seal, this will be a recurring problem and will only get worse. It is rear main seal if oil is getting inside the bell housing and onto the clutch. A leaking oil pan gasket would not leak into the bell housing.
|i plan on blasting it with brake cleaner. just wondering if one ALWAYS has to take flywheel in. it only has about 50K on it. seems very flat, just smooth as glass. also wondering about the need to pull off rear bearing cap. don't want to. does the cleaness of the crank mean anything? wouldn't a leaking rear main seal put oil on it?
|The product "Brake Kleens" is really good.Depends on how much oil
oil on clutch and fixing sbc
how common is leaking rear mains on a sbc? as common as a leaking chrome chinese oil pan? i have pulled my clutch off and the flywheel and pp look like oil was on them. there is oil all over the pp side of my disc, but none on the flywheel side. i have been looking for oil dripping on the trans side of the rear main and see a couple of drops, but don't know if they dripped off the bottom of the engine and ran there or came from the seal. the crank next to the seal is clean clean clean! but oil was getting in big time. i am sure it is the oil pan gasket because when i moved my truck it left a puddle of oil under it just from backing out of the garage and backing in. a rear main wouldn't leak that bad would it? when i picked up my bell housing off the garage floor there was a puddle of oil under it as well. is there any reason to pull the rear main bearing cap off and look at anything? i wouldn't know what i am looking for anyway. the reason i took it apart is my clutch was starting to slip. the seal is a two piece rubber one.
i am replacing the clutch and pp and i am wondering if running 80 grit over the flywheel will be enough. it doesn't seem to be doing anything to the oil looking marks, kinda like oil on water, and definitely isn't leaving any cross hatch pattern, just the little swirlies that orbitals make. i am not really loving the thought of pulling this heavy flywheel off. it only takes a 12" pp and it about an inch thick and those bolts are like 100 ft pounds.
i would appreciate any help tonight and happy Easter!

I used a pair of mossimo skate shoes that I got at Target and bought some white vinyl online. For the boot horse shoe spats I used a five gallon white plastic bucket. I traced them out and it worked sweet. The bucket is already round so since I do not have a heat gun there was no need to bend the plastic. Here's a few pics

Doug Atkins
Doug Atkins is considered by many to be the greatest defensive end in football history. That's quite a label for an athlete who signed with Tennessee on a basketball scholarship.
Atkins was named All-SEC his last two years with the Vols, in addition to being named All-America in 1952. In recognition of Atkins' work on the field, he was the only player to be unanimously named to the All-SEC Quarter Century Team and was awarded SEC Player of the Quarter Century (1950-74). He was also selected to the All-Time All-SEC Team (1933-82).
The Vols went 29-3-1 and were crownded national champions in 1951 with Atkins at defensive end. After his playing days, Tennessee honored him in a ceremony by proclaiming Sept. 11, 1976, Doug Atkins Day.
After wreaking havoc at Tennessee, Atkins went on to play professionally with the Cleveland Browns, signing a contract in 1953. With Atkins rushing the ball carrier, the Browns won the division title in 1953 and the NFL Championship the following year.
Chicago was the next stop, where he spent 12 seasons imbedding his name in the history books. Atkins was a member of the Bears in 1963 when they won the NFL Championship and in all, he was a three-time All-Pro selection and made over nine appearances in the Pro Bowl, including seven straight. He finished his pro career playing three years for the expansion New Orleans Saints.
He and Reggie White are the only Tennessee players to ever be voted into both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Professional Football Hall of Fame (1982).

I just got home from my local shop to see their boot fitter and I had a pair of custom insoles made. The same company, Sidas, but a different material than yours in the photos. Just standing in them and walking around the store felt so much better than the stock insoles that came with my boots. In the off-season this year, I've come down with a bad case of plantar fascitis (sp?) so I absolutely had to get good insoles for my boots. I'm pretty damn pumped now to get out on the snow without any arch pain!
Best investment I EVER made for my boots. I used to have some serious foot problems until I got custom footbeds. I think I paid around $80USD for mine two years ago?
I will agree with BA though on most being ski and hard boot specific. I typically ride a very stiff boot anyway, so a stiffer footbed doesn't really take a lot of flex away from me.

I agree that people could get cheaper options to work for them - but how many could you try before you've hit the same cost as customs?
I don't know if this brand are available in the US but sounds like you have good alternatives. Though they're widely available in the European resorts I've been to, I got them from Nevada Sports in Tignes.
The guy there Franck has a bit of a cult following (amongst skiers) and is a bit of a character - many stories of him refusing to sell people boots that aren't right for them (even pricier ones).
We got chatting as he fixed my heal lift. He told me "if you come into my shop and want to buy a boot (referring to ski boots), I will find you one. It will only fit once it's been heat moulded, so we will do that and you must trust me. We do it this way, or I am happy to show you to another shop that will sell you any boot you want, it's your choice". He must know what he's doing because he has very happy customers.
My point is, if you're going to spend the cash on this, find a craftsman if you can too. Rather than some Johnny-No-Stars kid.
|Slush Puppie
|Also, apart from the general comfort (which is fantastic), one immediately noticeable benefit is that previously I found I was (unconsciously) curling my toes back slightly to compensate for lack of support. Now that the foot is held in place properly front to back, with the foot comfortably locked, the foot just relaxes and lets the ankle flex naturally with the boot. Much smoother less awkward, removed a lot of strain from my ankles too. And no pressure on the toes from the foot wanting to slide forward. It literally changed my riding for the better, not just my comfort.
Originally Posted by ShredLife View Post

If you don't like them in your boot they are always great to put in your shoes. Because of the arch support, and construction they end up being a little thicker then a standard insole, so you will notice you don't need to tighten the bottom portion of your boot as much.
** my sister is Podiatrist and recommend them to me because as you pointed out not every needs orthotics.
post your prices with your rec's on this one.
how much were those sass? how bout yours slush? EDIT: what is that in US dollars?
so here's the real deal:
everyone's foot is different. slush puppies foot obviously has a really high arch.. maybe too high for an aftermarket, although there really are alot of options out there...
most people's feet aren't quite that severe which is probably why not everyone is walking around in custom orthotics can be pretty expensive.... what is it typically about $100-200?
there are so many good aftermarket insoles now that its worth most people's time to check out the very many $30-50 options. its probably pretty hit and miss to try and order them online so try and find a store that stocks a few brands and go in there and stand on a bunch of them and see what feels best. some of them can even be 'custom molded' further by heating them at home in your oven and then molding them yourself. i use the Sole EVs and they can do this, but i have never tried it.
nothing wrong with paying more and getting custom ones tho... some people for sure need them and everyone could probably benfit from them. without question everyone can benefit from changing out the insoles on 98% of all snowboarding boots because they're pretty much all garbage... , but in then end that's probably ok because you really should be trying to get something that fits your foot well.
|Slush Puppie
Yeah I hear ya on the issue of being too rigid, luckily not the case here.
The rear part of these is fairly solid enough to support the arch without deforming - but the lighter material that you see the forefoot made out of is reasonably flexible, enough to allow it to flex with the foot. No problem roll onto the toes of the boot, they move fine for that, you could fold this in two if you really tried.
They feel about the right balance between support and flex. The fitting was done by standing (maybe sitting I cant remember) with feet on deformable pillows, then the insoles heated placed on the (somehow now solid) pads and feet back on top until set.
Anyway, this isn't an advert for that brand/type, I'm sure there are better systems. The point is that the it should be obvious to people with problem (or even 'normal' feet) why it's worth bothering with customs at all.
Let's look at the cost too..
Customs insoles price: 85 (and the guy added some shaped foam behind heal of the liner for free at the same time).
Total cost: 140
Why more?? Because I bought a pair of Gamechangers first. They are sat gathering dust. I paid out for them then had to get customs done anyway, they were literally a waste of money.
Not knocking Gamechangers particularly here, they will be ok for some people - just be aware of any aftermarket insoles limitations. And if you have difficult feet, don't be tight. It will cost you more in the long run.

I'm not new to Volkswagen, Audi, turbo, or all wheel drive. But I am new to Allroads.
Here's my questions. I'm considering selling my lifted truck for a more fun, more fuel-efficient ride. I already have a tdi for when I need ultra gas-savings, so this car would more than likely be the "oh ****" car... ie, ultra deep snow, my "work rig" that I stuff the hatch full of stuff, people carrier, etc.
With all that being said, I've noticed the bi-turbos' produce over 300hp and 340-ish ft-lbs of torque w/ a chip alone. Not bad at all!
Whats in these cars in terms of performance, handling, inclement weather driving, mpg etc? I was actually going to buy a TT, then stumbled across an ad for an Allroad and I thought hell... why not? Seems like a great base.
FYI, IF I get an allroad it will be awd, 6spd, and turbo.
The reason I want a TT is because they are sporty, can be fast, handle well, get good mileage, etc. But the reason the Allroad draws me in is seating, wagon-space, etc.

OK, so I have had some questions regarding the parts of the Michell sweep arm that are used for Fett and how they interact with one another on the sweep arm. So lets start with the complete sweep arm.
Now, I have stripped all the unused pieces and in the photos below show how the used pieces connect:
The rocket pack stabilizer is the base of the sweep arm. The upper collar of the stabilizer is loosened and a single wrist dart is inserted and then the collar is retightened. The boot spike is hollow and has a threaded hole in the side of it. It is screwed onto the wrist dart, but once the threads on the wrist dart pass the threaded wall of the toe spike, the spike falls down and simply pivots on the shaft of the wrist dart. The toe spike will turn 360 degrees and has a considerable bit of ability to pivot up and down. That is pretty much it.
In the photo below, you can see the head of the wrist dart inside the hollow toe spike.

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Florida and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

See that picture right there? It's my youngest brother.
I know.
Before I explain what's going on here, let me share some backstory. When I was a kid, the thing I wanted the most was a sister because with sisters you could have the "Little Women" thing going on at your house 24/7 putting on plays, taking your Christmas breakfast to poor children, going to balls and getting holes burned in your long skirts, making friends with the reclusive millionaire next door, writing your courageous father who was off fighting for the North, having a movie made out of your life starring Katherine Hepburn.
See what I mean? Sisters are awesome!
So naturally when my mother announced she was pregnant, I hoped for a sister instead of another brother. Seriously, wouldn't you have, too?
Only it didn't work out that way. Come September she delivered a male baby so ginormous that the doctor immediately slapped a helmet and some pads on him and put him in the game.
"Son," said the doctor, "go in there and take one for the team!"
To say I was NOT pleased would be a massive understatement. And I didn't get over my disappointment anytime soon.
How disappointed was I? My brother claims that I pretended he was a girl. I called him Judy. I made him wear a dress when our mother wasn't looking. I put a wig on him and ordered him to go get the mail so our neighbors would think I had a sister, which he did because a) he was easy-going, and b) he was afraid of me.
I truly don't remember tormenting my baby brother this way, but okay, fine. There is that picture, after all. And I think we can all agree it's definitely one picture that's worth a thousand words. With compounding interest.
I bring this up because I've been listening to people talk about the things they're grateful for.
(Author's note: It's Thanksgiving on Thursday. Remember Thanksgiving? That lovely little American holiday often forced to jump the rails these days due to those runaway freight trains otherwise known as "Halloween" and "Christmas"?)
Anyway, it occurred to me that I'm grateful for the things I wanted … but never got. Like sisters, for example.
Because I didn't have sisters, I rarely had to share a bedroom with siblings. And also I never had to share clothes once my brother stopped wearing my dresses.
But here's the main thing. People do go on and on (and on!) about the patriarchy. In my experience, however, most families are at the emotional level, at least matriarchies. Grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts all sit down at the table together to talk about weddings, births, deaths, food, hair, scandals, current events both local and national, the past, the future, the present. Meanwhile their men stand around at the room's edges, picking up random (and often inaccurate) scraps of information. Or not.
It didn't roll out this way at my house. If I wanted to talk, I had to talk to brothers. And because I had to talk to brothers, I got to know mine and value them as wise and funny friends with whom I still speak on a regular basis. Would that have happened to the same extent if I'd had sisters? Who knows?
But for this year at least, I'll cherish what I have and count my lack of sisters as a remarkable blessing.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
There are a lot of young people who haven't thought much about a career as a scientist. Some of them may think they're not smart enough. Some think science is boring. In other words, people believe a lot of myths. Here are some of the most common ones.
Myth: You have to be a genius (or a nerd) to become a scientist.
Reality Check: Nope. In general, people who become scientists aren't any more or less brilliant than people who become lawyers, nurses, company managers, journalists or any other kind of professional. Scientists are just regular people who are curious about the world and life and how they work.
Myth: Being a microbiologist means you sit in a lab all day looking at slides under a microscope. Boring.
Reality Check: Part of your job might involve looking at slides. But you could also journey to the wilds of the Amazon and Costa Rica seeking out new species of microbes. You could meet some of the deadliest creatures on Earth head-on as you track down killers such as Ebola and Hantavirus. You could float in zero G as you study microbe growth aboard the Space Shuttle. You could watch fish swim past your window as you dive to ocean depths in a submarine. You could climb up the sides of volcanoes. Where you work and what you do as a microbiologist only depends on what your interests are and how hard you work to pursue them.
Myth: You can't make much money being a scientist.
Reality Check: All right, so you won't find many scientists' names on the list of the richest people in the world. But microbiologists can make a pretty good living. They generally earn between $20,000 and $100,000+. That's a wide range, but salaries depend on many factors: where you work, what type of research or products you work on, your education level and how long you've been in the field. Microbiologists working for companies that make drugs or do research generally make more than scientists working for the government or public universities. But most people don't become microbiologists because they want to get rich; they do it for the joy of research and their interest in working with these exciting, strange, wonderful little creatures.
Myth: You have to spend YEARS in school before you become a scientist. You're practically OLD by the time you actually get done with all the degrees and studying!
Reality Check: If you go for a Ph.D., the highest level degree you can get, then you may spend nine or more years in college: four years in undergraduate studies and five or more years in graduate school. But the further along you get in school, the less you sit in a classroom taking notes from lectures. You're working on interesting research projects in the lab or out in the field, making discoveries and writing them up for journals. And you're hardly "old" by the time you get your degree. But you don't have to get a Ph.D. to be a scientist. Some people stop after six or just four years of study and get jobs where they put their scientific skills to work. Visit the Profiles collection to see what some people have done with and without Ph.D.s.
So, now do you think a career as a microbiologist sounds good?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
It's a mighty good idea on this pump (which I like a lot) is to drill the bolt heads that hold the pickup to the pump and tightly safety wire them together.
The problem you'll have with the 25 percent increase in volume with this pump is either or both the following:
1) Lots of oil in the windage, a very good tray with a lot of louvers or a screen will go a long way in getting the oil off the crank and cylinder walls (that floods the rings and makes an oil hungry engine) back into the pan. An oil scraper is a must on the right side (passenger side American) of the pan to catch the fly off oil from the crank, trap it and let it flow back into the sump.
2) The excess volume has to be vented or it results in too much pressure, this is the job of the oil pump's relief valve. This oil is rerouted back to the inlet side of the pump. This gets it heated up and foamed pretty good. There is no simple solution to this, just letting you know. The solution is complicated if you wish to pursue it, its taking the pump apart, tapping and plugging the hole that connects the relief return back to the intake side and making damn sure the work is smooth so the shuttle valve can't hang up. Then making a sheet metal baffle to catch the bypass from the now open outer passage hole to catch and redirect the bypass oil away from the crank and into the sump. This isn't absolutely necessary for a street engine, but is a benefit for a competition engine.
|It has 2 tabs that bolt to the pump so its secure.. Do you agree with the clearence of 1/4 inch??
|dont forget to safety wire/tack weld the pick up after depth is set.
Your way of measuring the clearance will work it is kind of hard to know if you put too much pressure on the pan causing it to bow up a little. I use some of my daughters play dough. I put a ball of the stuff on the pick-up then I bolt the pan in place using a gasket. Take the pan off and then measure the play dough where it has been flattened. I believe 1/4 of an inch is fine. Any closer and the pump will not be able to suck up enough oil to supply the engine.
oil pick-up tube to pan clearence
Ok, so I'm putting the oil pan on my 406 and I am trying to get this right before I put the engine in the car and have no room to do this over. Heres the deal... I have a melling m55HV (high volume) oil pump and a Milodon 7 qt. oil pan that measures 8 & 1/4 inchs deep. I have a pick-up tube but when I measure the clearence, I have 1/16 to 3/16 of an inch clearence. The way that I measure the clearence is, I tape a drill bit of what ever size to the pick-up and put some greese on the drill bit, then put the pan on and see if there is any greese in the bottom of the pan when I take it off. What I am wondering is what should the clearence be from the oil pick-up tube to the pan?
Thanks for all the input!

Our easiest out-of-the-water, most stable platform to date. With the most surface area in its class, it's guaranteed to instill confidence and make you a better skier than other open water skis on the market. No gimmicks, just great skiing
Bent Vee Tech
Many of you reading this brochure are thinking "but I don't turn buoys when I ski", and that's OK with us! In fact the vast majority of skiers in the world will never turn a buoy while dancing their water jig. The Bent Vee series of slalom skis was created to take you anywhere any time at any ability level. It's the easiest, smoothest ski we've created with the least amount of drag you could ever imagine. Now don't get us wrong. We take pride in the hi-performance level of every ski in our line, regardless of intended purpose! The fundamental aspects such as bevel and rocker line are that of a Vapor. So you ski assured, knowing you're riding a high performance rip stick.Sidecut
Surface area was added behind your feet for lift on deep-water starts and stability when riding straight ahead. The widest point in the tip is much further forward than a conventional slalom ski, giving the feeling of a longer wheelbase. Imagine a '73 convertible Fleetwood rolling down the highway. It doesn't get any more stable. When the ski is turned on edge, it creates an automatic turn based on the inside radius sidecut. The ski just pivots right through both on and off side turns without effort.Rocker(s)
Every ski design actually has 2 rocker lines. The first one is down the center of the concave, which, in Bent Vee, is identical to the Vapor. The second rocker line is on the bevels (the part that touches a table), and we've made it flat and stable for consistent water flow in any conditions. By altering the sidewall thickness we can create a second "bevel rocker" suitable for the intended purpose which levels the attitude of the ski in the water. In this case, we made a free skier's perfect rocker.Learn More

Christopher Williams
After two years on the Vols' squad as a student-athlete, Christopher Williams is in his second season as a volunteer assistant with the Tennessee program.
His leadership role on the team as a junior and senior led to his position as a coach.
"Since joining the program in January of last year, we have never seen anyone have such an impact on a program in such a short time," head coach Sam Winterbotham said. "Christopher immediately took on a leadership role and helped galvanize the team. He has a special ability to recognize what is needed to bring a team together. He epitomizes what college tennis is all about by the way he is committed to helping the team in any way he can."
Williams is currently working on his Master's of Science in Kinesiology with a concentration in Sport Psychology and Motor Behavior. He says working with the faculty and fellow students in the Department of Kinesiology, Recreation and Sport Studies has made him a better coach.
"The mental aspect of sport is vital when it comes to performing well in high-pressure situations," Williams said. "It is great to have an academic setting that gels nicely with the on-court and competitive experience."
Williams, a Knoxville native, recently graduated with a degree in Sociology (Criminal Justice) at UT. He was named to the Southeastern Conference Honor Roll following the 2010 season. He earned a Top 10 Student Athlete GPA Award in 2010 and got the Outstanding Scholar Athlete Chancellor's Award in 2011.
Prior to joining the Vols, Williams spent two seasons playing at Wofford. He transferred to Tennessee in 2008. He became a member of the Vols' squad before the spring 2009 season.

From spilled drinks, to drops and knocks, this laptop is tested against 12 military-grade requirements and passes more than 200 durability tests. Whether it's a day at the office, or a day on the move, X1 Carbon has you covered.
Up & Running Even If You're Not
Even when WiFi is out of range, the new X1 Carbon has Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X7 LTE-A available—so you'll always have connectivity and access to all your data and apps in the cloud.
From 0 to 80 in 60
The X1 Carbon delivers up to 15.5 hours of battery life. And if you're running low, the rapid charging feature provides 80% capacity in just an hour. So a lunch break or a layover can easily boost your battery up to more than 12 hours.
Prepare to Be Thunderstruck
The X1 Carbon includes Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3—the technology that brings lightning-fast Thunderbolt to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps. Connect a cable from your USB-C port to a Thunderbolt 3-enabled device, and get four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other port type, while also supplying power. So you get Thunderbolt, USB-C, and DisplayPort. Plus, you can even output to two 4K displays with the Thunderbolt Dock.
No Re-Inventing the Wheel
Lenovo has shipped more than a 100-million ThinkPads, all with our award-winning, ergonomic, highly accurate keyboard. And the X1 Carbon delivers that same legendary interaction that IT pros and end-users alike have come to love and expect from ThinkPad—all day, every day.
Less Really Is More
X1 Carbon is available with Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Signature Edition. No more trialware or unwanted apps. No more distractions—and easy provisioning for IT pros.
Classic or Modern—You Decide
Be it the traditional Black refined look of ThinkPad, or the modern appeal of Silver (coming soon), the new X1 Carbon is available in two colors to suit your style.
We Mean ALWAYS Covered
X1 Carbon comes with a standard worldwide warranty. That means that you can get help in 160 countries. We work around the world so your business can too.
