|Who really cares - if someone is building a street rod/hot rod/ or whatever you want to call it, all the more power to him. If he powers it with a SBC - well I wish he wasn't but at least he is doing SOMETHING. Yeah, I'm partial to Fords, but if someone were drop an LS engine or a Dodge Hemi in my driveway - heck yes, I would use it. I might even consider a Toyota V8 - well, that might be a little extreme - but you get my drift. The alternative is to go to your local ricer dealer or even consider one of the Ford/GM/MoPar off the showroom floor HiPo offerings and add some decoration and call it a "hot rod"
Well, to coin a phrase and to revive and old cliche, "You can lead a horse to water, but it might take many years for it to realize that Ford engines are the way to go!"
I think that's how that cliche goes^
Seriously though, I've never been a 'fad' person, and I dont usually go with the flow(except when driving the highway, as its safer)
For that reason, I started liking Fords right from the start, because even by the mid 80's, late 60's-early 70's Chevelles and Novas were everywhere! Plus, most old and newer Hot Rods had 350's....... I just got so tired of hearing everyone talk about how they were going to be installing a 350 into their Nova, Camaro or Chevelle. Also, whenever I saw a 20's-50's Hot Rod, I'd say that 85% had SBC's, and mostly 350's.
So, whenever I went to a car show, or saw a muscle car or Hot Rod, and I asked what engine the person had in it, if the person said "oh, it's a 350", I'd then look at it with MUCH less interest and less respect. Not that I'd totally dislike the car, it's just that it would always be a big disappointment to see the same old, same old. So I'd usually say "looks nice", then walk away with not much enthusiasm.
However, if I saw a Hot Rod or non original muscle car with the 'right' engine, I'd be so much more impressed with it, and it's owner! If they built an old Pontiac WITH a Pontiac engine, I thought that was great, even though I was a Ford guy.
But then, I started to feel the same way about Mustang GT's........ When I went to the dragstrip on Friday nights in the late 80's-90's, there were just Sooooo many Mustang GT's and LX's with 302's(5.0) or bored/stroked versions of the 302. So I became bored with them, especially during the 80's and 90's when the GT had very little factory horsepower.
But that will NEVER compare with my tiredness of seeing 350's in just about everything! Especially when someone puts a Chevy 350 in a Gran Sport, or in an Olds, or in a Mopar, or God forbid......in a Ford, which seems to happen the most!
Most of my friends are/were Chevy folks, although there have been quite a few Mopar guys and a few Ford people(even an AMC guy with a Rambler) and I did always resent the fact that it was so much easier for them to find parts than it was for me to do the same. Try finding parts for either a '65 Comet or a '71 Torino Gt in the late 80's to mid 90's, when there was no internet and almost nobody had computers! We even have a regional street filled with auto salvage yards, but when I called asking for ANY part for a Torino GT or Comet, they'd laugh! They had NOTHING........ So I had to fix or fabricate stuff.
But still doesnt excuse dropping 350's in cars that arent made by Chevrolet, and doing it constantly. Engines and parts from 'other' US auto makers arent that hard to find.

The LS series is the goto replacement. Still a sbc, but other than awesome what is it called?
I personally get tired of the 5.0 swap, every boy with blue blood thinks that is the most awesome swap available. 5.0 'stang, woohoo.
My 65 Mustang is getting a 4.6 sohcammer. Dam near put an LS , LOL.
Not many guys use the 292/312 in the early fords. I would go that route before the 5.0 .
LSX destined for my 80 Vette
Long live the SBC LS
Like Centerline said, "If you set up a non SBC correctly you don't have to worry about stuff like that." There has not been a part yet that I have not been able to get from NAPA / Auto Zone or Oreilly's within 24 hours. Be it gaskets, fuel pump, voltage regulator what ever.
Would it have been cheaper for me to drop a 350 in it? Hell yes but then I would have just another car with no soul. Just another car lacking originality. I am a Mopar guy but have built/owned a couple of small block Chevys in a moment of weakness one in a Camaro and one in a 62 Impala. small block Chevys are fine in the right car (a Chevy) but you will never find one in a Mopar that I own or in a Ford either if I were ever to buy one of those.
When I was looking for my 48 Plymouth, I came across a few that I would have been interested in purchasing until I got to the small block Chevy under the hood.
GM will find themselves in the same boat in a few years as not much Gen 1 SBC stuff will interchange with their Gen III blocks. Ford moved on from the 302 with the Mod motor and now the Coyote small block , Mopar moved on with the new generation hemis, and GM has moved on (a bit later than the others) with the LS series. Its just a matter of time.

the air bags helped with the few hundred lb's in the trunk.. he ended up changing out a starter on the side of the road.. lucky he had it..
I'm all for being different, but if that means parking your trailer a few blocks away from a show and only driving it a few blocks, then why have it, if you can't drive it..
one thing that most forget,chevy for all it's faults, and having the last small block rolling of the as. lines in 2002, 10 years later you still can get parts for it from the dealer, even new engines,, something the other makes never stayed with.. ford will sell ya a reman, mopar too.. new will cost ya.. what does mopar want for a crate hemi.. 10k plus.
|I believe a lot of it has to do w/how the SBC (and BBC for that matter) has remained the same through the years. If Ford and Mopar engines would have had the interchangeability of the SBC, they might have been just as popular.
I'll start by admitting a nearly 50 yr. love affair with Chevys in general, and that includes SBC, BBC, and the old W head 348/409 engines. Yes, there are lots of them in hotrods, plus even more in all sorts of factory equipped cars since 1955. Must mean they've always been popular.
Many people choose them not just because they're cheap to buy, but becasue the parts are cheap and plentiful both new and used. Additonally, when you're taking that cross country or cross state trip, you can always find just about anything that might break at the smallest of shops and parts stores. Try getting parts for your period correct 50's or 60's Olds, Caddy, Hemi, etc. in any town, small or large.
Two of my three hotrods are SBC, and one BBC equipped. I have no remorse or second thoughts about building a SBC, and I'll continue to enjoy them. I appreciate other brands, but I wont use one just to be different so my engines wont bore people at the local cruise in or car show. I'd rather my car was different, and not worry if my engine is a cookie cutter SBC.
putting a 4.3 and an auto in the international come the spring.
mostly because my clutch leg is worn out.

Hot rodding to me is all about being creative and different, so even though I do realise the SBC is easy and inexpensive HP, I generally prefer to get outside the box... Well.... 3 out of 4 ain't bad!

I guess I need to build a car with an automatic. Now that I list them, it looks like I might be in a rut myself.
i don't think anyone should get hurt feelings or defensive. just a few old guys spouting opinions is all, and old guys are pretty good at that.
i still remember the firswt time i saw a "clean" firewall. it was a 55 chevy that had NOTHING, NOT EVEN A BOLT, on a beauttifully painted firewall. i just stared at the thing, then complimented the builder.
that's the thing. think different.
|Got an LS1 in my 54 Huh oh its that the new small block chevy

There's still young people out there that have the hot rod heart! I see em every where. They cant afford to buy the new stuff & spend hours sanding and polishing their intakes and alternators looking at new throttle brackets and making their own, making their own scoops. Old skool is still alive and growing but slow. I see the rat rod culture turning more old skool. A little less ratty, safer, better engineering, more detail, etc.
Buying everything over the counter made it too easy even for the people who can think it, engineer it, and make it. Its really good at shows to see something other then cookie cutter parts bought and bolted on. Cars I build for people they want cookie cutter! And you can see why mainly the expense of paying some one to make a one of a kind part , but cars I build for myself I hate it! Sometimes I see on here a guy will ask a question how to do it himself and he'll get all these answers on not doing it where to buy it, some on here even embarrass em and they never come back on the thread (dont think it doesn't happen some have pm'ed me on this)!! So in a way we're talking em into building cookie cutter cars.
Power pack heads , dual point distributors, 283s, 327s, arn't cookie cutter any more! Why talk or belittle people out of building em?
Crate 383s, aluminum heads, electronic ignitions, Thats cookie cutter now. Lets push those!
Buick, pontiac, ford, chrysler, amc, etc, I love em all, Ive built & raced em all. I ran a 440 wedge in a 64' chevelle, 427 high riser in a 240z, 421 pontiac in a Henry J, My 38 plymouth had a Polly head red ram in it, 392 hemi, 409, 283, supercharged 350, olds 425, and a 413 max wedge, When I got bored Id change it. If I could get my hands on a 426 max wedge It'ed go in my vette or my wifes camaro in a minute I worked on em, I raced em, I raced against em, and to me it was the most impressive engine ever put in a production car!!! Racing stats dont mean beens the fastest cars didnt always win!!! Track or drag!! This is all my personnel opinion !

Ask the Chef
New: I had Turbot in your restaurant, it was beautiful! I now want to try to cook it myself but dont know how?
Thank you! Turbot is an expensive fish so asking how to cook it will avoid expensive mistakes! Firstly, you should only buy from a good fishmonger, the flesh should be white/creamy colour, avoid Turbot that looks slightly blue or even fatty.
Ask your fishmonger to fillet the fish for you, its easy for them but if you dont know how to fillet a fish you can easily go wrong.
Cook the fish gently, either poach with a bouquet garni or simply grill. This is a very tender fish and does not need to be bashed about in a pan.
Our Turbot dish came with a shellfish risotto, langoustines & scallops, a great marriage of flavours which will set our heart alight! - Enjoy!
Prior Posts:
I recently bought some Scallops from my supermarket but couldn't get them to colour around the edges when frying them, they looked very pale and weren't as nice as the ones I had at Culloden House, what did I do wrong?
The reason they didn't colour or "caramelize" is that they were not fresh, they could possibly have been frozen. You can always tell a fresh Scallop when cooking as they will caramelize around the edge.
I tried to make a pea soup but after cooking the green colour faded and it looked awful! How do you make yours look so beautiful?
Use fresh or frozen peas, bring them to the boil, then immediately put them into ice old water, this retains the colour, from there you can blitz in a food processor with some seasoning and chicken or vegetable stock. Return to the heat, bring to the boil, remove from the heat and add a little crème fresh just as you are about to serve.
I do a lot of cooking and want to buy some new knives, can you recommend any?
Yes, you get what you pay for when it comes to decent knifes. Don't be fooled by the "amazing cutting tool" or "300 piece set of knifes" for £30.00 gimmicks.
I suggest buying 4 decent knifes and Gustav Emil Ern is a good recommendation. You will need a Chef's knife, it does about 90% off all the work in a kitchen, it's long, sturdy and can cut through most things. Second I suggest a paring knife which is used on fruit, vegetables and small foods. If you are serious about cooking then a good boning knife for taking meat off the bone and fish work, finally a good carving knife.
Do you have any tips for vegetable trimmings? It seems a waste throwing them away.
You could add them to your compost heap or better still you can make vegetable stock to keep for soups & sauces.
Put your scraps into a large soup/stock pan, fill with water, add a couple of bay leaves, peppercorns and bring to the boil, once boiling reduce the heat to a simmer and leave for 2 hours, skim any froth off the top, carefully ladle out the stock and strain, discard the remaining vegetables. The stock can be kept in the fridge for 3 – 5 days or frozen for future use.
What's your favourite ingredient?
That's an easy question. I like seasonal items as it means the ingredient is always at there best. Here are a few:
In summer it has to be sea trout, fresh from the sea, available through until end of August, or berries such as raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
September to December is wild mushroom season which has to be high on anyone's list. Along with rabbit, crab and all the vegetables such as French beans, fennel and truffles.
January to March would be venison, purple sprouting broccoli and parsnips.
April it has to be spring lamb, asparagus, new potatoes and langoustines

Asking vs Selling price
Boats and real-estate are not the same thing, they just cost the same.
What I mean is that even someone that needs to off-load a house quickly and realise some income from it (motivated seller) has options that a boat owner does not. Anything from leasing out to getting a bridging loan or flexible mortgage, until the property can be sold.
This buys them the breathing room to hold to their prices and get what they ask (just maybe a bit later then sooner).
Boats do not work that way. Getting a loan/mortgage based on a boat ownership is *interesting* (see; nigh on impossible at anything other then ruiness interest rates).
A house that gets left sitting for six months still looks like a house, just one that needs a spring clean. A boat left totally ignored for six months *can* turn into a write-off. They lose value far faster when upkeep is neglected (mind you, they also exist in a far harsher climate and move around ALL THE TIME when in the water)
Marina or hardstand fees make the interest rates acrued on even the most harsh of bridging loans look like loose change. So there is a lot more incentive to "just sell it" once the desicion to sell is made.
Unlike most real-estate however, you often hit the emotional baggage and strong "attachment" to the boat of the previous owner, so being prepared for way more BS then you have ever had to deal with in order to give someone around 100 thousand dollars will be an issue. Be prepared to force yourself to be amused by it, or only deal with a broker that really gets between you and it.
We decided to pretty much not use a broker at all, dealt directly with the former owner, got about 400cubic hours of "stories" but also learnt a lot, got handed truckloads of extra gear and found it to be a useful if somewhat tiring experience, but at least the sellers finally got "closuer". We still exchange the odd freindly phone call two years later, just to see how "the boat" is going.
What all the above is trying to say is that you should offer what you think the boat is worth, or maybe a little less and see if they go for it. You can try tactics like concluding what it is worth and then offering a lot less and then climbing in increments until they say yes or you hit your mark, this seems to sometimes work. Just remember, the worst they can do is say no to any individual offer, You can keep coming back with more offers or can go find another boat. Forget getting a "positive" response from the broker taking the message to the buyer. He would really be positive about it if you offered twice the asking price and his commission reflected this!
He is the middle man, the carrier-pidgeon of the exchange, your job is not to make him feel warm and happy.
Most important thing to keep in mind;
You are not trying to make friends with the broker or the owners. You are trying to buy a boat. Remember this as they try to manuevure you with social and emotional levers. You are not applying to be their friend. You do not want them to talk nice about you to all their broker friends etc.
(Oddly enough, if you do a deal that completely screws them to the wall, most brokers will speak of you with a kind of awed respect, if you give them exactly what they want, they will laugh at you and feel superior..after you have gone, of course.)
Having said all that, inviting the former owners out for a sail and a meal on board once you have gotten settled is a good way of learning something extra about your boat and you can at that point decide whether you want to be friends with them. But not before!
It is also advisable to have a sweetener held in reserve that will break a "near thing" in negotiating a price. For us it was "if we get this wrapped up before 3pm, we can do this in cash, today, right now."
So for us, having the loan part of our boat''s price sitting as pre-approved funds in the account was a valuable bargaining tool and well worth the few dollars extra it cost to process the loan that way.
Anyway, hope that helped get you looking at things a certain way.
Asking vs Selling price
Are imminent buyers, we are struggling with this issue too: what do boats REALLY sell for?
Of course, there are thousands of variables, but what is the industry average? For example, where I live real estate goes for 90-100% of asking price. Many brokers will not favorably present an offer of less than 85%. Why? Probably because real estate around here is pretty tightly appraised and values are well known. Also, most properties are priced realistically and closings are in the newspaper.
But sailboats are different. We were able to "peek" at some soldboats.com data and found selling prices were 85-90% of asking. But is this all the data? Probably not. I suspect that many closings that were substantially less than asking price just do not get posted.
Near as we can figure owner pricing probably goes like this:
- She''s really worth (or we paid) about $70k but we''d like to clear $80k.
- Got to cover the broker''s 10%. Figure $88k.
- Better dial in 15% for negotiating - Call it $99k.
And you''ve got a boat that''s really worth $70k (or less) listed at $99k.
Asking vs Selling price
I don''t know about you guys but every broker, lending institution and boat dealer around me uses NADA or BUC when dealing. They trust those sources more than you or me. It''s a starting point and the buyer needs to know why or how to change their minds on values that don''t fit the book. There is nothing scientific about it...you just need to know boats well and be able to communicate the reasons to the bank, seller or buyer.
I''ve bought a few boats at 1/2 book and resold at book. The key for me on this is to make offers before the boats are actively for sale. Once owners decide to sell, the "for sale" sign goes up and so does the price. Boat deal are made by the buyer, not given by the seller.
Asking vs Selling price
The problem we are having with this type of question is that it is too general.There are countless variables.Any boat is only worth what someone is willing to pay,bottom line.Many owners get an inflated price when a survey is done and believe if it is insured for x amount it is worth that.Any insured boat is worth more sunk than floating in my opinion.Remember it only takes one sucker,I mean buyer.
Asking vs Selling price
I am a broker and my experience has been that most owners have 10-15 % figured in for negotitions. Please know that we do NOT set prices on our customers boats. We do the research for them and give them the best information available, but in the end they tell us what to set the price at and what they will accept for the boat. Some folks are reasonable some are not. Most folks seem to think that there boat is worth much more than it actually is. It is my opinion that this is because people want to believe all the wonderful and expensive gismo''s and gadgets they installed when they bought the boat still add value years later. Unless all that stuff is very new it doesn''t seem to add much value. It takes time for it to sink in that this is part of the cost of ownership.
Having said that, are there deals to be had, yes, are they on every dock, NO. A deal is going to have a lot to do with your expectations. If you expect to find a Pacific Seacraft 34 in Bristol condition for $5000.00 I would recommend psychiatric care, it aint going to happen. If you are looking to get a PS 34 for $5000.00 under market value, that could happen but it will require patients, and dilgent searching. You will need to know your market in order to realize when you are looking at a deal. Derelick boats are rarely a deal, I can''t tell you how many people dream of finding a boat that they pay near nothing for and find out it only needed cleaning up. That doesn''t seem to happen much, from what I''ve seen these folks end up spending more on the old boat getting it up to speed than it could ever be worth. There is some merit to this idea IF you plan to keep it LONG term.(at my house this is defined as, long term = they are in my last will and testiment) If you plan to fix it up and sell it to make a couple bucks, you will more than likely end up one of the folks with that ridiculuosly over priced boats out there that wont sell.
Heres an idea for you, call a broker and be honest about what your looking for. It may take several brokers, but you will find one. If they have an owner that is anxious to sell or a boat that is undervalued to move quick we will tell you about it.
My personal experience has been, the problem with buying 1/2 price boats is the math doesn''t work well. When you add water to math everything seems to become exponential. The result works something like this, 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4. You pay half price for the boat, being as how you got such a good deal you pour the other half in on goodies and a year later the boat is worth about a quarter of what you paid for it.
Very best of luck to you on your search. If you are in the southeast email me direct and I will help you find a boat.
Asking vs Selling price
You''re asking if there is a scientific process to determine what a boat is worth? You may not get any definitive answers here, since used boat values are market driven. If a new boat interests you, of course brokers/dealers will not reveal their bottom lines publicly. When bartering for a car, a dealer will never tell you his cost and profit margin.
I just bought a 18 year old, 33 foot Finland-built boat for 75k that was listed for 89k. My broker shared inside info on two exact model boats of the same vintage that sold regionally within 6 months prior for 135k and 118k and listed for much more. My surveyor valued the boat above the listing price . . . so, did I get a good deal? I feel like I made out OK. Unless, I see a similar boat selling for less $ months from now. But then it may not be as well maintained and have fewer upgrades. I certainly won''t beat myself over it.
Work with your broker to research current and past offers and selling prices on the boats you are interested in, when serious about one, hire a good surveyor and give the owner your best price.
Asking vs Selling price
Does anyone have any real information on this topic? Like, for instance, a broker, or anyone else, who has seen the asking price and selling price of 20 or 50 or 100 boats and can give some idea of the average--or mean--difference? Or even anyone''s individual buying or selling experience? We all know that ''it depends.'' But averages, or industry trends/tendencies, can be useful information to a buyer going into a transaction.
There''s a thread here called "Blue Book Values" (or something like that), where NADA says they use reports from their "industry advisors" or some b.s. like that... Brokers who have actually seen sales figures. They give the value of a 1975 Islander 36 (for instance) as $23,000. The average asking prices of Islander 36''s on Yachtworld is 150-200% above that. That''s a VERY big fudge factor! Markets work best when they''re efficient, and to be efficient they need to be transparent. We need information! Where to get it?!
Asking vs Selling price
People think they know what their boat is worth. Often a broker will not work hard to discourage them since they could scare off the seller. Some sellers need more time to understand that sometimes the boat is worth more to them than in the market. It''s not at all unlike selling your home. It is perfectly possible for a boat to be worth more to you than the market price.
People are free to ask what they will. I would not however assume that all aksing prices are atrificially high all the time because they expect to negotiate down.
Few buyers will offer more than asked. Smart sellers will attempt to hit the price correctly and thus not scare off would be buyers. A good broker would help a seller if they were willing to listen.
The last variable is the survey. If you have issues in the survey they work the best at real reasons to offer less.
Asking vs Selling price
"What I don''t understand is why so many list their boats at unreasonably high prices."
I believe the "high" asking price initially set by the owner, is a reasonable figure to him/her. The amount is most likely based upon a compilation of the Owner''s total investment in the boat, the broker''s fee and a negotiation margin.
Just a matter of time before market reality sets in and the Owner accepts the inevitable loss. I suppose it''s human nature to not account for the cost of enjoyment during ownership.
Asking vs Selling price
Unless you are looking at a very rare boat, you should be able to get a general idea of what the boat should sell for by checking yachtworld, boattraderonline, and a few other sites.
I bought a used boat back in June. I searched (casually at first, then more seriously when I became more anxious) for about six months. During that time I watched many boats just sit and site. Eventually the price would drop until it became reasonable, then the boat would sell.
Study the ads for a few months and you will learn what prices the boats are really selling for.
What I don''t understand is why so many list their boats at unreasonably high prices. It takes six months before they drop the price to something reasonable, then the boat sells. However the owners wasted six months!

text: This thread is for Han Yan (first name: Han, last name: Yan) from China. Yan made his senior international debut at the 2013 Four Continents Championships in Osaka, Japan, where he took the bronze medal with a personal best score of 235.22 (SP: 85.08, LP: 150.14). Yans SP performance at 2013 4CC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5_PmrOdIaY Yan started skating at the age of 5. He used to train in Harbin, but has moved to train in Beijing starting this year. He won the gold medal at the 2012 World Junior Championships, becoming the first Chinese to win the mens junior world title. Yans favorite skaters: - Patrick Chan - Tomas Verner Some links: Han Yans Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_Han_(figure_skater) Han Yans Chinese Wiki http://baike.baidu.com/view/3573950.htm Han Yans Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter) http://weibo.com/u/1991083414 Yan is only 16! And he already has a great foundation (i.e. incredible speed, amazing ice coverage, great flow, effortless jumps, good presentation, musicality, etc) which he will only continue to build on as he gets more experience from the senior circuit. With polishing and better choreographed programs, there is no doubt that Han Yan is the future for China.

"The country obviously has a huge deficit problem, and it's projected to grow quite a bit in the future," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan group that advocates fiscal policy aimed at reducing long-term deficits.
But while Republicans want to blame the debt problem on Obama and the Democrats want to blame it on the Bush tax cuts, Bixby said, "the truth is that it has more to do with the collapse of the economy."
Government spending automatically goes up in a recession, on such programs as Medicaid and unemployment, he said. And when people are out of work, the government collects less revenue.
"The real question is what can we do to bring it down to a more sustainable level?" said Bixby.

Cleveland Makes First Cut in Convention Bid
(Washington) - Ohio's three flagship cities - Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati - have been named finalists in the competition to host the 2016 Republican National Convention.
RNC spokesman Ryan Mahoney says the others are Denver, Dallas, Kansas City, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
It's the first time in modern memory that all three have bid to host the convention in the same year.
Mahoney tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 it's their largest number of bids since 2000. All the cities will make presentations to the RNC on Monday.
Later in the spring, the finalists will be announced, with party leaders visiting those cities before they make a final decision.
Mahoney says the winner is expected to be announced in late autumn.
State party and city leaders are counting on Ohio's pivotal role in electing presidents to boost the chances that the party will pick one of their cities for its biggest event.

No republican has ever won the white house without carrying the state, and few Democrats have.
Backers see the convention as a potential boon for tourism.

Oxygen Accessories
Oxygen accessories serve many purposes, including transporting oxygen cylinders, storing oxygen cylinders and delivering oxygen to the user. There are a variety of different oxygen accessories required for home health care. At All Time Medical, we have all of the oxygen accessories you need to use supplemental oxygen in your home or on the go.
If you or the oxygen patient is ambulatory, it's important to find the right way to transport the oxygen cylinders so as not to impede mobility. There are several ways to carry oxygen cylinders including:
- Oxygen cylinder cart accessories that can be pushed or pulled
- An oxygen cylinder bag that is carried over the shoulder (available in different sizes for different cylinders)
- A wheelchair oxygen tank holder
Other Oxygen Accessories
In order to get the oxygen from the tank to the user, quality tubing connectors and nasal cannulas are required. Because bacteria can accumulate in these plastic tubes, they are disposable and come in multiple-quantity cases. From our oxygen accessories collection, you can choose from crush-resistant tubing connectors, regular tubing connectors, straight-tip nasal cannulas and curved-tip nasal cannulas to suit your lifestyle and comfort level.
Finally, it's important to properly store your oxygen cylinders when they're not in use. Oxygen cylinder racks are important oxygen accessories--not only to keep your cylinders organized, but also to prevent them from being accidentally knocked over. You can get oxygen cylinder racks in several different sizes to hold different amounts of cylinders and different-sized cylinders.

Yesterday I started searching the forums and Google to find out how I can make Windows invisble while booting and using XBMC.
This video shows my first result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfdXemzxw30
What I have done is the following:
- Altered the Windows boot screen to display XBMC loading instead of Windows loading. I also made a new animation
- Tweaked the login screen to be as non-windows as possible (removing all icons and branding, new wallpaper and automatic login)
- Disabled the explorer.exe and instead used Eventghost as shell to launch XBMC directly after login (using this guide: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_make_..._Werner.29)
- Disabled some of the auto-startup services (in msconfig and services.msc)
- Edited the current Windows theme to black and disabled all fancy GUI stuff like the aero theme and such
- My specs are as follows:
- HTPC: Shuttle XS35 GT (noisy as a calculator <3)
- 2GB ram (OCZ or Kingston or something)
- Intel X25 40GB SSD harddive
- Windows 7 Home Premium
- Logitech Z-5500
- Logitech diNovo Edge wireless keyboard
- Current boot time from pressing the power button to XBMC is ready: 39 seconds approx.
Software I've used
- Eventghost (shell replacement)
- Win7BootUpdater (boot screen altering)
- Win7LogonBackgroundChanger (welcome screen wallpaper change)
- LogonScreenTweaker (removing buttons and branding etc from welcome screen)
- Here are some images of the process:
I used Photoshop to create the animation and saved it as 105 BMP files
These are the 105 animation files needed for the boot screen
This program altered the windows config files for the boot screen
I used this program to edit the windows welcome screen
This program replaced the wallpaper at the welcome screen
All the program files and animation files will be available at my dropbox as soon as the upload is finished.
I hope that other forum member which are interested in such branding etc will contribute to this thread by adding more tips and tweaks and to further enhance the appliance feel.

I don't know that I'd say their the worst .. Pretty much all game companies these days do incredibly sleazy things including Valve. Valve's refusal to fix issues on their end with GFWL titles and Windows 8 users is both sleazy and annoying. (Several months after the launch of Windows 8, Valve continues to package Win8 incompatible versions of GFWL with GFWL titles on the platform despite all other merchants that offer downloaded GFWL titles fixing that issue months ago.)
That said I do think that EA is pretty horrible for pressuring BioWare to release DA2 before they were ready, and for all the issues/drama with SimCity. Also most of their really popular titles are crap while their really good and less popular titles get the axe. Their DRM is slightly less sleazy than UbiSoft's and they're very very slightly less greedy than Activision.
As gamers, we're kind of screwed.

This one is too funny
This one is too funny
that was fucking hot sean6344--would have loved to see him wipe his ass. Do you have any to send of guys shitting then wiping their ass? If you want you can send it to my pm--would ever be grateful!!!
Anyone got any video clips of guys sitting or squatting on the toilet shitting and pissing? Spy or not.
scatvidz wow that is some serious scat play. i never thought people could seriously do that !
Loved the video Sean! Wow, really got me hot!!
Toy collectors
i can't stand the smell of excrements or farts and that is a major tturn off. even if he's the sexiest guy in the world - if i walked in on him taking a dump and whiffs of his shit, i'll never fuck him again. but then, to each his own.
...so, in other words, just the knowledge that a guy has to shit (as far as I can remember, a necessary part of survival) is enough to turn you off? Do you imagine, then, that bottoms all have invisible colostomy bags?
I'm not that bad about it though. But if I were just getting to know a guy and he let out a nasty fart, or I smelled/heard some of his massive shitting from the bathroom, I would probably be really turned off. And if we were to do something sexual, chances are I'd remember that sound/smell and it would just go downhill from there...
So, again, look at what you're "remember[ing]" as well: the fact that this person does, in fact, need to use the bathroom once in a while. We're not talking about scat play here, just about the necessities of daily life. So, essentially, the fact that you allow the cognizance of normal human physiology, even when not being presently manifested, to interfere with your relationship with the person seems rather absurd. Wouldn't you feel somewhat unjustly slighted if somebody decided he couldn't enjoy sex with you because a few weeks ago he just happened to witness you farting or "smelled/heard some of" YOUR "massive shitting from the bathroom"? (Or are you also one of those marvelous gays with the invisible colostomy bag? Have gay people collectively forgotten that the lower GI tract evolved for the purpose of eliminating wastes, when they now misunderstand that as some kind of a sign of shame or even affront? I'd say next time you're with a guy whom you haven't had any previous knowledge of his GI activities, take a moment to reflect on the fact that even though you haven't seen it or heard it, he's sure as heck doing it nonetheless.)
I wonder, is this a hypothesis in your mind for why so many marriages become increasingly sexless over the years--statistically too great a chance to become aware of one's partner's normal, healthy bodily functions?
Heh, sorry, it wasn't so much you alone, but rather the sort of proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for me in terms of noticing how prissy gay guys so often are, and how unrealistic their cognitive dissonance can be.
that was really hot sean--thanks especially Nico filmt Unger where he wipes his ass--blasted off to that one. Pm me PLEASE. Would love to chat with you.
I've had alot of hot sightings recently at the office. There's so many hot guys and lots of reflective tile
PM me idf you want to exchange stories of spy videos.
It's GOTTA be someone u find sexually attractive! On another thread I'd described how a work colleague & I would have a Thai snack at lunchtime, & then inevitably he'd have to take a dump. Ideally I'd have LOVED to be in the loo with him, my face a couple of inches from his sweet shitter, watching, but mor importantly, SMELLING the hot turd emerge from his delicious shit hole. But this guy, who is 6 ft plus, blond n blue eyed & incredibly handsome (my PERFECT man!) is str8, & wouldn't have it
So I do the next best thing; him knowing I 'lust for his turd', he tells me' If I were u, I wouldn't go into the toilet now!' And guess what? That's EXACTLY what I do, & in the delightful smell created by this blond stud, I have a lovely masturbate!
Not ideal, I know, but 'needs must'! LOVE it, but as I said, the turd (sight, smell etc) HAS to be produced by a sexually attractive individual! For me that would be a blond stud EVERYTIME!
One time, I was with my godbrother shopping in JC penney and had to shit. So I was doing my thing, and heard someone sit in the next stall just us two.
Looked at his shoes then heard him grunt like, "Uhh..." Then it dropped. That fuckin turned me on. I was done, then left. My bro met up with me, then recognized his shoes, and knew it was him in the next stall.
^Nah. I dint worry 'bout it.
I've been seriously turned on to watching guys shit (and being watched) from a young age and boy scout camp where we had to dump in trenches and we could all see each other doing it.. Since my 20's I got into the habit of going to quiet toilets and peeking over stalls of through peepholes, don't do it so much now, maybe I am more nervous about being caught. My main haunt was a university library near me..top floor, relatively quiet toilet with two urinals and two stalls, with two smallish peepholes between the tolets. I'd either look through the holes or, if there was no one else in the toilet, I'd cautiously peer over the partition, with my head right at the back of the partition so as not to be seen. I never got caught out, was lucky I guess. I always pulled my head back in when they started tearing off paper. Saw some very hot sights, uni lads sitting down, many leaning forward and I could see logs sliding out, others sat straight up and pushed, when they leaned forward, the smell of their fresh shit would come right up and hit me. Once in awhile a lad wold hover his bum over the pan and then I'd see it all, his hole, opening right up and his waste emerging and falling in. Many sat there and studied/revised, a few also had a wank once they had finished shitting, usually bending their cocks down into pan when it when it was time to ejaculate. Lots of post-dump wanking especially if it was exam week and they were stressed. Some students were gay-cruising too, but not many. Most just wanted some wank fun and I provided that. One guy came in and took a shit (in his early 30's) then saw me looking through the hole and asked if I'd liked what I saw. I shyly said I had, and he said he's into shit-watcing too. He asked if I wanted to see his turds, and he let me look over the wall at his nice dump, two firm logs if I remmber. We then has a wank together, sadly he said he was a phD student visiting just for the day. You never know what is going to happen when you show up to do some spying.
Forgot to mention for a few years there was a slim athletic married guy I knew and he'd regularly come over and we'd watch each other's shit come out. He was small and wiry. I am big and musclely, but his huge long thick logs always put mine to shame.
I'm not into scat in itself and I think maybe the farting thing would be something that is only good in fantasy but thinking, seeing or hearing a guy shit is hot! There are these two guys that I see at the gym a lot and I've always thought they were hot. They both look alike, could be brothers, and they are both so cute. They are late 20's-30's and very beefy and lightly furry with smooth skin, and both have great asses and cute faces. Anyway I was in the locker room and they both took a shit in the two stalls and they continued to talk to each other and I heard them farting and the shit plops. It turned me on. One guy was talking about how he didn't have enough toilet paper and he was gonna walk out without his pants on and go to the front desk and ask for toilet paper. For some reason that image was so sexy to me. They were so comfortable with each other and shitting. It's getting me hard right now. I wish the stalls weren't there and I could have hung out with them and seen everything.
juicyjack, a similar thing happened to me two months ago. There's this guy at the gym who I think is drop dead gorgeous. We've become friendly and often shoot the shit (so to speak) when we run into each other.
One Sunday afternoon in May, I'd finished up and showered and was in the bathroom starting to groom myself when DDG walked in. We exchanged pleasantries and then he proceeded to go into a stall. I heard a couple preliminary farts and plops and then he continued talking to me. Not about anything in particular, but the fact that he was doing something so private in my presence (were it not for the stall) and he was totally unabashed by it, turned me on. I guess 'cause I'm very modest about stuff like that. I'm pee shy and when I have to poop while at the gym, I go use a separate bathroom that not many people know about.
Sapien: I know what you mean. it's hot as hell when a guy takes a dump next to you in a stall. But, there is nothing as intimate and hot as talking to a hot guy, especially a straight guy, when he's taking a shit behind the stall door. Especially when you can hear everything - farts, the log hitting the water, and him wiping.
love dirty smelly arse and licking them clean watching a guy on the toilet ant tan licking his arse is hot got a guy to shit into my mouth today for the first time won't be the last time

I love watching shit emerging from a tight hole.
I have videoed myself pooping loads and I have a blog with pics and links to the vids
take a look
Yeah, this is a big fetish for me. Hot guys taking a dump makes my dick get hard.
I have a fantasy revolving about having a really hunky guy like quarterback Mark Sanchez and me in the bathroom. Poor Mark needs to take a dump right away, and I'm there to assist him. He'd strip naked and sit on the throne and soon his turds would be dropping like stones into the water.
Perhaps I'd sit on the edge of the bathtub and talk to him and suggest when and how hard he should push. I'd tell him to keep his legs spread as far apart as possible, so I could glimpse his brown turds falling out of his wide open rectum. I'd hold his hand and then fondle his semi-hard dick as he continued to evacuate his bowels. I would pay special attention to the faces he might make and the sounds coming from both his mouth and his butt.
I'd listen for the splash of a turd hitting the water. Maybe we'd discuss the aroma of his shit, what he had eaten that day or the night before, and how he felt about shitting while another guy studies him.
When he's finished, of course I'd have to first inspect the turds he left in the toilet, and perhaps photograph it. Then I'd take the privilege of wiping his nice male ass. Probably three times at least, and after that I'd insist that he let me gently wash his hole out with warm water.
Then I'd suck him off, with my hands wrapped tightly around his butt cheeks until he came down my throat.

LOL. You're right!
I was half-expecting a Dirty Sanchez reference. XD
This is a 100% true story from about 15 years ago, I was visiting/cruising a park in my hometown near Chicago early one evening, walking the wooded paths, increasingly I could feel the urge to take a shit, so I headed down the path in the direction of the restroom. I already knew that this men's room was unusual. It was just one crudely built concrete room with 2 sinks, 4 urinals and 4 toilets lined up on the walls with absolutely no doors or partitions of any kind! Toilet paper dispensers were mounted on the wall, one behind each toilet bowl. I could tell I'd need to shit soon so I walked faster and then I noticed a teen boy walking a bike some distance ahead of me going in the same direction. Sure enough, when he reached the restroom, he stopped and proceeded to lock his bike. I continued down the path and entered the toilet about 20 seconds after he did. I assumed the kid had gone in there to piss so I couldn't believe it when I came in and he was standing in front of one of the toilets tearing off sheets of TP and wiping down the seat. I casually said something about there being no privacy in this toilet and he said "yeah, but it's all there is." I asked him if he minded if I took a dump too and he said "no, that's cool." He was friendly enough but not really talkative, which was fine by me. He looked to be around 17 or 18 years old, slim and not too tall, with dirty blond hair, and he wore black converse canvas hi-tops (no socks), white shorts and a black t-shirt. The kid pulled his shorts and boxers down just above his knees and sat down. I sat down on the toilet next to him and tried to steal sideways glances at him. He was a good-looking kid with virtually no body hair except for a fairly nice bush, and s! ome short blond hairs on his tanned thighs. His ass was white and completely smooth. He grabbed his t-shirt with one hand and pulled it up till it was just above his navel. With the other hand he pushed his cock down and started a good strong piss. "Aah", he sighed softly as it splattered out. Just then a guy came in and walked to one of the urinals to piss. We both kind of froze up until the guy zipped and left, then we sat in silence. It was a very quiet restroom and I knew I'd be able to hear everything. I decided to hold my shit in till the kid was done with his. After a few more seconds I glanced sideways and I saw the boy look straight ahead and his face and neck muscles tense up. A short little fart came and we both laughed a little (embarrassment?). The kid took a deep breath, looked straight ahead and pushed again. "Ungh", he gave a little grunt as he exhaled. Then he really started to strain. Obviously he was a little constipated and was going to have to work at it. He looked down between his thighs, took a deep breath, opened his mouth and tensed his abdomen till his six pack was plain to see. He sighed then took another breath. This time he grunted and shut his eyes and his face contorted as I heard what must have been a thick log start slowly crackling out of his hole. It must have been coming out in one long piece because I didn't hear any splashes, just the sound of it sliding out. After about 12 seconds of this, I heard his log softly slide into the bowl, and he let out another relieved "aahh". His face relaxed. He sat a few seconds, then started to push again for all he was worth, his eyes squinted shut and he gritted his teeth. His abdomen tensed up, and then lots more shit came, much looser and smellier now. He waited another minute, then he farted again and relaxed. "Whew" he sighed and looked over at me with a smile! I smiled back and then let my shit go, two big logs sliding out one after the other. "We really had to go, didn't we?" I said to him. "Yeah, it stinks in here now!" the kid said as he reached around and began tearing off toilet paper from the dispenser behind him. He stood up, reached behind and stuffed the paper into his crack and did a good wipe. I peered over and saw most of the kid's waste, a big fat dark brown log, very firm and knobbly at one end with the rest curving around the bowl. The part I could see had to be 9 inches or so. There was also lots of much looser shit all around it, in many small pieces. The kid kept wiping, looking at the soiled paper each time. After quite a few wipes, he swiftly pulled up his boxers and shorts in one graceful motion. He flushed and left. After I finished, I walked back down the path toward the main area of the park and saw the boy again, hanging out with his friends. Our eyes briefly met and he gave me a quick smile as I walked by. Nothing makes two strangers bond better than a good buddy-dump!

Great great story there, southcoastlad! I envy your having this experience! That restroom sounds like it would become a favorite destination if it were me!
Reminds me of the lavatories that are in the military where there is no privacy, which I always thought was hot. Just a row of toilets, with a hot soldier sitting on each one all enjoying a good shit together.
I was recently in the army, finished my obligation alright. And I had my best friend who would always go and do anything at the same time. Like hey "pap" lets go get a shower then we go see a movie. So we usually went to toilet the same time in two toilets next to each other.
I liked it knowing that he was taking a dump next to me. He was my crush buddy too. He is so sexy, but sadly army is over and we both went to our places.
i remember one time when i was around 16 my friend came round to stay for a couple of nights while my parents were away so i didnt feel so alone, and my friend (he is straight, a bit dopey, hot as hell) always needs to shit, and he must have taken like 3 on the first day, then on the second day he asked me if i wanted to watch him, of course i said yeah, then he showed me his arse as he shat, he dropped one long thick log, firm at the front soft at the middle and end, then in the end he confessed that he was into scat and that no girl would ever do it with him..... thought i might as well help him out with that good weekend.
That video is so fucking hot, just wish that was my cock
Care to share?
I used to but my laptop died a few months ago along with everything on it :/ Sadly i'll have to rebuild. Anyone know any good sites they are just spy clips? I have no interest to see the shit itself, just the process of sitting there grunting.
Hey TXsunset eagle I can totally relate to going to college bahrooms and loving to spy on guys taking a dump. There is something about watching and listening to them that is so hot.
Have you check out spyonguys.com. It's pricey and the video quality is not so good, but that is something that just came to mind when it comes to spying.
A Short Christmas Story:
Well, men taking dumps can be seen everywhere, even at my family Christmas parties, but inside snow globes.
Briefly, my sister decided that for a Christmas exchange of gifts, every adult in the family could participate in a "tacky" Christmas gift exchange, in which each person goes out into thrift stores or wherever and purchases the worst kind of tacky gift and wraps it up to give to an unknown recipient. Everyone kicked in some money to a kitty and whoever received the worst gift would collect the money.
After choosing the gifts, my brother's mother-in-law, Jane, received a large glass snow globe with an unusual scene portrayed inside. It featured an old-style country outhouse with a guy sitting on the hole reading the newspaper. The door to the outhouse was wide open, and a little dog was seated nearby, waiting for the man to finish, I suppose. The guy had a contented smile on his face, and he didn't at all mind the glitter flying around when the snow globe was shaken. Needless to say, Jane was taken aback by the sight, and couldn't believe that this perhaps "unseemly" act was memorialized in a snow globe.
It just struck me as funny that this "dudes dumping" imagery was discussed at my family Christmas gathering, and I thought I'd put it out there.
p.s. Jane didn't win the money.
Wow. this thread is rather...ummm...different lol.
Anyways, nothing about shit excites me; however, I do think its cute to see guys on the toilet and open about it. Also, I think it shows how comfortable the person is around you. It's kind of a compliment.
But I've NEVER had a fetish with shitting on or being shitted on lol. That's just nasty lol.
But I don't think farting is funny. haha.
anyways then it was my turn he just stood up and shoved his tounge down my throat (tasted of my shit) then he grabbed my face and shoved it on his shit covered cock. then i laid down and opened my mouth, and he let out this like 3 pints worth of shit mousse, it was so soft it could have passed for yoghurt, it filled my mouth and spurted over my eyes up my nose, basically covered me and the bathroom floor, he sort of laughed then shut my mouth with his hand so that i would have to swallow his shit, he then scouped up as much shit as he could and smeared it over me, then he used it as lube to shove as much of his hand as he could in me... after that he said im bored ur gonna eat the rest, so he forced me to do it, then i licked him all over snogged him, then he fucked me and we called it quits he hasnt spoken about it since
Thought I'd bump this thread up and see if anyone has found any good websites for just guys taking dumps? Not with shit play or any of that stuff, just a simple hot guy on the toilet letting it rip.
you can try the wetpantsboy site or the toiletboiz site
Well it's 2013 so I thought I'd be the first to write on this thread. Live in Hampton Roads Virginia and would love a dump buddy. Into fit guys under 60. I spy at several locations in the area at various times. November and December are best as there are many shoppers out who feel the need to take a shit. Most are really loose shits because if they were firm they'd wait until they got home. My fav place is an Office Building where professional types, young and extremely well-dressed go to dump. It has, like my other locations, reflective wall tile where I can see their asses as they're shitting, and if they wipe from the back see that asswiping. Toiletboiz remains the best site to see spyvids of guys shitting. It's a free site and all you have to do is contribute by a blog, forum, pic or vid once every 60 days.

Ralphie May
One challenge he faced head-on was a radio contest where the winning standup would open for Sam Kinison. May took a break from his studies at the University of Arkansas, entered, and won. Kinison influenced May to move to the more happening Houston. After working his act in the Houston clubs, he moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as an actor and writer, and in 2003 competed on the reality television show Last Comic Standing. Although he didn't win, he came in second and the exposure landed him a series of appearances on talk shows and game shows along with a record deal. The Dreamworks-associated label Melee released his debut CD/DVD, Just Correct, in 2004 and the equal opportunity offender soon had a platinum album to his credit. A year later he lost 27 pounds on the reality show Celebrity Fit Club, and was the only white standup to be featured on The Big Black Comedy Show, Vol. 4 DVD. In 2006 he made the move to the Warner Bros.-associated label Jack Records and released the CD/DVD Girth of a Nation. A year later his Comedy Central special Prime Cut became his second release for the label. The 2009 release Austin-Tatious found him on the Image label. ~ David Jeffries

Germany Facts Flag
Europe's strongest economic and industrial power, Germany is also the most populous European country outside Russia. Fertile northern plains stretch south from the North and Baltic Seas changing to central highlands and then rising to the rugged Schwarzwald (Black Forest) in the southwest and to the Alps in the far south. Germans are highly urbanized; about 86 percent live in cities and towns. With one of the world's lowest birthrates, Germany is a magnet for foreign workers—some 7.3 million immigrants live here. Some German industry is well known (Daimler AG, Siemens, and Volkswagen); some, like Transrapid (the maglev railway) and Nordex wind turbines represent new environment-friendly technology.
"Wir sind ein Volk—We are one people," sang crowds on November 9, 1989, as East Germans breached the Berlin Wall. A year later, just after midnight on October 3, 1990, Germany was reborn. One people, divided since the end of World War II, had one country again. Yet German unity is relatively new. Disparate Germanic principalities did not come together until 1871, when the king of Prussia became kaiser (emperor) of Germany. Defeat in World War I cost Germany its empire and left the nation staggering under heavy reparations. Inflation and unemployment hounded the democratic, but shaky, Weimar Republic. By 1933 a demoralized population had turned to Adolf Hitler. Under Hitler, Germany rearmed and invaded neighboring countries, triggering the Second World War, which killed 55 million people and devastated much of Europe. When Germany surrendered in 1945, it lost eastern lands, like Prussia and Silesia, to the Soviet Union and Poland. The Allies divided the rest of the country, and its capital, Berlin, into four occupation zones. This temporary partition persisted as tensions rose between the U.S.S.R. and other Allied powers. In 1949 the American, French, and British zones formed the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), and the Soviet Union established the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). The Berlin Wall went up in 1961 to stop East Germans from fleeing west.
Rejoining two populations after 45 years of separation has been difficult. The economy in eastern Germany remains weak—unemployment is twice as high, which forces skilled people to go west for jobs. A bright spot in the east is Berlin as the construction boom continues in Germany's capital and largest city; tourists come to see the innovative architecture, including the Reichstag building with its new glass dome. A founding member of the European Union, Germany stands to gain from increased trade with the 2004 addition of the Czech Republic, Poland, and others to EU membership.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Federal Refuge at Parker River NWR is closed due to a lapse in appropriations. Officers are forced to tell you to leave the Refuge if you are out there hunting. If I could speak personally about this, I would say much of what you are saying right now. Believe me. But I came on this site identifying myself as a federal officer, so no can do....
If you feel the need to beat up on me, please keep those comments to yourself, as you can't imagine the stress that I have been experiencing. My last pay check was 4 days short of pay, and there is not another one coming for who knows how long, close to a month at best. Also, turning people away is just not a pleasant thing to be required to do.
I usually love my job, love the Refuge, and love to waterfowl hunt more than any other activity. I have found great satisfaction helping people on the marsh. The Refuge Youth Waterfowl Hunt was also cancelled, and I also am losing out by not being able to hunt the Refuge.
Now you know.
Hope to see you out there soon.

With the success of the critically acclaimed, Academy Award-winning film The Fighter, the world stood up and cheered for the inspiring true story of Micky Ward - a heart-and-soul warrior who overcame the odds to make history in the ring. But that was only part of the tale.… Now, in his own words, "Irish" Micky Ward tells his inspirational life story as only he can.
From his first bout at the age of seven, Micky Ward was known first and foremost for giving as good as he got, and for leaving absolutely everything he had in the ring. When he fought, quitting was never an option. It was that indomitable spirit that would allow him to survive, battle against, and overcome the harsh realities that he faced every day of his life.
For it was outside the ring that Ward's heart would be most needed, from witnessing his idolized older half-brother Dicky fall from grace, to dealing with his wildly dysfunctional - if frighteningly loyal - family, to the darkest of secrets that he has never revealed until now, and the numerous setbacks and defeats that would have stopped a lesser man. Micky Ward has remained a fighter, through and through - both as a professional boxer, and as a man who finally found his greatest strength in friendship, family, and faith in himself
From the rough streets of Lowell, Massachusetts, to the blood and sweat of the international fight game, to the bright lights and adulation of Hollywood, this is the rousing, moving, tragic, and humorous story of the one and only Micky Ward.

"A good story for one listen."
This is a feel good story and it made me feel good.
I enjoyed listening to it once, but I wouldn't want to listen to it again. It held my interest all the way through -- more than a lot of books these days -- and the end was interesting. But that's it. One time was enough.
This review made me think about how I "star" a book for the "overall" category:
Would I want to listen to it over and over again? That's a 4 or 5 star book.
Made it all the way through one time but that's all? 3 stars.
Put it down before I got to the end the first time through? 1 or 2 stars, depending on how far I got and what else I didn't like about the book.
So Micky and "Warrior's Heart" gets 3 stars overall. The performance was very good. I gave it 5 stars. But performance can't replace story. And for me, the book overall can't be better than the story. So if the "Warrior's Heart" story gets 3 stars, then the book overall gets 3 stars, too.
There's nothing that stands out, got me excited, or makes me want to tell you about it in this review.
I'm guessing it will be sitting on my hard drive for a long time before it gets played again. Maybe when my kids are older they'll enjoy it. I'll probably save it for them.
Hi, I'm a cop, alumi of NYU and I'm also huge into MMA. I love books I read a lot and review the stand outs. I'll give you guys the goods.
"This was an amazing Bio"
This was an amazing Bio, Micky Ward pulls no punches and gives you a detailed look into his life in and outside the ring. Strangely enough your going to find yourself connecting with the characters in the novel. From start to finish the tale of Ward's life is going to hold your interest. If your a fight fan I think you should give this novel a try.
excellent book, if you like competitive sports you'll be inspired

For the most part this looks good except that you seem to consistently ride in a countered stance ( you twist at the waist and ride facing forward). Work at riding in better alignment in all if your riding; keep hips and shoulders aligned with board more and turn just your head to look forward.
As for your takeoff, some funky things seem to happen here and this is mainly a result of your approach in that countered stance. It is hard to tell but it looks like you are trying to use your upper body a lot to throw yourself into the air as if you are trying to Ollie off of the lip. One of the things that trying to add the Ollie does with a new park rider is it invariably puts them way in the back seat on takeoff and that is not the kind of help you need. As you approach the transition, shift your body foot to foot toward the nose of the board and gently extend just a tiny bit to pump this transition and maintain your speed. A better method for learning to gain a little more pop is to pop off of the toes and not try to Ollie. Use only lower body movements and keep the upper body quiet. Popping slightly off of the toes allows you to launch in much better overall alignment and gives you a little more pop. It also helps counter a tendency to open up and face forward in the air.
On your landings, you are being a little too quick to heelside speed check and sometimes you can do this before the board actually has fully engaged the snow. This is such a common cause for washing out after an otherwise successful landing. Delay this movement and point the board after landing to totally get fully stabilized and recentered after landing before doing a heelside speed check. It is super easy to land tail heavy and if you do not get recentered before braking, you stand a good chance of using your ass to brake with.
I have been trying to bend my legs more because although smooth, I feel l have not been getting enough pop. So I have been trying to work on that, since then my landings have suffered.
A friend pointed out today im doing something with my upper body/arms. I guess i am trying to pop from my upper body instead of using my legs?
For someone who did ballet for years, ive never felt so out of touch with my body.
Thanks for the advice :-)

BTW, Crazy Horse is my favorite run at chestnut when it's not super icy. It has the best view of the whole mountain. Here's a partial panoramic my friend took on his galaxy nexus.
Edit: Sorry for the huge size, can anyone tell me how to force a custom size on embedded images?
|I was there saturday and sunday and it was in surprisingly good shape. There were some ice balls on crazy horse and the wind had blown apache bare in a couple spots, but that was later in the day. We are coming up again this weekend hopefully they get hit with that snow that they are forecasting thurs.

For those who care...
I go to Chestnut every Friday night since it's now my closest Park. I've also been to Devil's Head hundreds of times. IMO Chestnut is better for park with the Farside and Devil's Head has much longer and better runs but almost no park features. Chestnut runs are extremely short, like 30 seconds down. They are steeper (especially the blacks, which are steeper than anything at Devil's Head) but they usually have terrible snow - either really icy or full of skier moguls. Chestnut has a better view from the top if that's something you care about. The view when you get to the top of Devil's Head is literally snowy cornfields (both at the top and bottom of the hill). Devil's Head has a lot more trees and a little better seclusion between runs, whereas Chestnut is basically just a free-for-all snow field with a few tiny pockets of trees. Neither have a good lodge but Chestnut has the slight edge.
Also, yes the "black diamond" and "double black diamond" is all relative to the mountain out here in the midwest. At Devil's Head the double black is really the same (actually less) than the blacks at Chestnut, but because they use circle, square, diamond, double diamond, you get a better idea of what skill level to expect on each hill. At chestnut, blue square could mean flat or steep, it really depends on the run.

Spider-Man Ultimate Wiki Guide
EditWelcome to the Ultimate Spider-Man wiki guide.
We all know that Spider-Man does whatever a spider can, but can you do whatever a spider can? Can you leap off a building top, shoot out a web and zip yourself to safety? Can you lay eggs and eat your young? Err, you get the picture.
The point is you can't do whatever a spider can. That leaves you horribly inadequate for taking up the responsibilities of Spider-Man, and puts New York City in great peril. But have no fear, as we at IGN have learned the secret arts of Spider-Man and documented his strategy in this in-depth guide to Ultimate Spider-Man.
In this Ultimate Spider-Man strategy guide, you'll find:
Basic tips and strategy necessary for starting your adventure on the right foot. Complete Ultimate Spider-Man walkthrough with tips for defeating all boss enemies. All secrets, including hidden unlockables and the locations of all secret, landmark and comic tokens!

It is time for the annual harvest of olives on the West Bank of Palestine, but for some reason, Israeli settlers who live near Arabs bent on picking olives appear to regard such actions as akin to fostering terrorism. The Rabbis for Human Rights movement came to support the right of Palestinians to pick olives despite opposition of fundamentalist settlers. Police an soldiers grappled with settlers who tried to drive local Palestinians away from harvesting olives. Rabbis who support the right of Palestinians to engage in farming were denounced by settlers who shouted, "murderer, murderer" at Israelis who were protecting the very foundation of Jewish and Israel culture and values — the right of people to engage in productive activities.
The settlers insist the land belongs to Israel even though the 1967 borders clearly place the West Bank under control of Palestinians. Settlers claimed they needed land where the olives grow in order to build a road to a graveyard. It is sad when Israeli settlers complain about violence on the part of Muslim militants and then proceed to behave in violent manners against innocent people engaged in their daily quest for food.

Robert Livingston, Assistant Professor of Management &
Organizations, Northwestern University
This research examines the challenges of upward mobility for minorities in mainstream organizations. When individuals from traditionally low-status groups (e.g., Blacks, women) occupy high-status roles (e.g., leaders) or exhibit high-status behaviors (e.g., arrogance), this creates tension and discomfort due to the subversion of established/expected hierarchical arrangements. Using various methodologies, this session will demonstrate that "disarming mechanisms"— traits, attitudes or behaviors that signal warmth, humility, or deference—can lead to greater power and success among minorities by making them appear less threatening and adversarial to dominant groups. Data from several experiments, using targets as diverse as Fortune 500 CEOs, US Presidents, and NFL Football players, converge in demonstrating that disarming mechanisms benefit Black males, but can actually hinder White males. We will also discuss the ways in which race interacts with gender to affect leader outcomes.

i was digging around in my basement today and somehow knocked over my helmet and broke it. can someone send me info on a decent helmet maker. or if you think it is fixable please give me some ideas on what to do.
Bill - I can work on that bucket for you.
I would suggest jumping on the FPH bucket if you are going to high end. If you want a budget bucket,l Fang has a sale - 95 shipped.
Wow...that's definitely worse than when I broke my Fang, but I think you approach it the same way. Others will chime in, hopefully, and offer what is probably more experienced expertise, but I've done a few repairs msyelf.
You'll need:
- fiberglassing materials: either a simple Bondo polyester resin fiberglassing kit from an auto parts store, Home Depot, or WalMart; separate resin and fiberglass cloth; or you can buy (my preference) epoxy resin from a hobby store and some fiberglass cloth. USE A RESPIRATOR MASK AND GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THIS STUFF
- CA glue / Super glue
- Bondo or other filler
Try your best to CA glue the pieces back together first. You will have to handle it very gently since it will have nothing supporting it until you finish the next two steps.
Then you want to reinforce the inside with fiberglass resin and cloth. Cut different size strips to make sure you can cover it adequately. You're going to want to liberally cover any areas that are cracked with fiberglass to "bridge" the unbroken parts and reinforce the fractures. A layer of resin, a layer of cloth, another layer of resin is probably enough...but add a second layer of cloth and resin if you need to.
Once that has dried for a good while (I'd leave it for a day), you're going to repair the outside with the Bondo. This is easily the most tedious part, because it's going to mean filling, sanding, filling, sanding and then priming and wetsanding and repeating it all again until the damage no longer shows. Which means you can say goodbye to most or all of your current paint job.
I can't tell from the photo if you also cracked the dome in the front. If you did, I'd actually be tempted to reinforce the inside so it can't be damaged further, but leave the outside crack. It might look kinda cool if you layer the silver and outer paint right so it looks like a battle scar instead of an "oopsie".
That's just a few hints. There are much more knowledgeable sources here, but this method worked for me and your bucket looks repairable.
Good luck!
thanks brad i just responded to you on the O.G. boards
yeah, I agree with madmartigan, and his way of repairing. I would also help reinforcing the outside but using a dremel to grind out the crack on the outside. Just going about halfway through the helmet, and then filling in the grinded area with bondo. Then sanding it down flat. This will help to penetrate into the crack so your bondo wont just sit on the surface. The end result would be much more sturdier when you know that you actually have gotten deeper into the crack and joined the 2 sides together. No matter what your going to need a new paint job. This is just a welders perspective. Hope it helps
I broke my DP95 in a similar fashion a couple years ago. I did pretty much exactly what madmartigan said to do. You have to be careful with bondoing the outside. If you put too much pressure while sanding you can crack it again.

"Despite the order not shipping when expected-Tiny Prints took the opportunity to make everything right about the experience. I ended up working with 2 different customer service reps throughout the process and they were both exceptional. They were helpful, service oriented, caring and professional. It tells me that the training received comes from the top down. And the best part is that I was extremely pleased with the product and would order from them again."
"I had ordered cards from another company, and was so dissapointed in the quality. Not with Tiny Prints.This card is sturdy (corners don't fray or bend) color is brilliant, and it has impressive quality. It is small, but I have received several compliments on the unique size and style. I love it!"
"we love this card. have re ordered multiple times. we use it on our honey from our honey bee's. you won't be sorry. great customer service when I've had a question."
"I love the design. I would have used purple in the outer edge area, if I knew I could. The printed text & line would have been better darker, though I do love the card...very special feeling. Card weight feels very good."

It's amazing to think that one week today we will be opening the Olympic Games with our match against New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium. We all feel so honoured and everybody wants to make sure we put on a performance and get as many fans behind us as possible.
You can't put into words how it feels to be on the cusp on playing in an Olympic Games - it really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is going to be an unbelievable experience and it's a real privilege to be part of this team. We can't wait to get started.
Once the New Zealand match comes along I think we will all truly feel like Olympians. We're all focused on that first game, and at the moment we are trying to do two training sessions a day. It is pretty structured and everybody is just making sure they know their roles before the tournament starts.
There might be a little bit more focus on the opposition in Team GB than at Arsenal because these are one-off games and we need to win as many as possible. With Arsenal you play over a long season and you have the chance to put any defeats right the next week - but it will be very different at the Games.
I find Hope Powell's methods great. Obviously we have been successful over the last few years and have qualified for major tournaments. She has certainly helped me improve as a player. She is very thorough, whether that is on the opposition or how to improve your game.
It's so special to be part of an Olympic Games - it is definitely up there alongside a World Cup for me. It only comes around every four years and to have it right here in your own country is just unbeatable. Everybody is buzzing and we can't wait to play. Only seven days to go…
