Randy, you are convincing me When I read Rons post my first thought was pulling the low spot up, that was until I read your response. Ron "could" pull it up and get going with some filler. But there is ALWAYS a way to work it up properly as you have pointed out I guess.
I was thinking, I commonly cut an "access hole" in the rear to push out things with no access, this would be an option, you think?
If you CAN'T get behind do to limited tools, using a die grinder and a cut off wheel cut an access hole in the wheel well. After your outer quarter looks good weld it back in. Unless you are doing a full on show car where the wheel wells are perfect, leaving the weld a little after welding the piece back in wouldn't be a crime.
And Ron, PLEASE where the particle mask and eye protection. There are a LOT of guys who can't breath or see today because they "just had a little more work to do". Please, do it. When you are eighty and you are told you are dieing from bad lungs, it is to late to turn back and put them on.

Hi Ron,
You have to be resourceful and use a tool that will snake in behind the weld seam to give you the resistance from behind. When working a dent or weld, you shouldn't need to do any tapping from the backside. On a large dent, you can, but for the most part, you use the mass of the dolly to provide the resistance needed when tapping the panel from the face side. This will cause the metal to move outward, toward you as you hammer on it. In this case, if you can get something behind there that will resist the blows, the metal will move where you want it. Use your 3" cut-off wheel to remove all the proud weld bead except for just a few thousandths. The weld (tack) should only be very slightly above the surface of the surrounding metal. Place a dolly on the back side and gently tap with a fairly flat faced hammer, or better yet, a slapper. You will do this only on the tack welds. DO NOT work outside of the heat affected zone, only the tacks. In doing so, you will find that the sunken metal will quickly rise toward you and the slightly proud tack will be almost eliminated, as you will be cold forging it into the surrounding metal. This will make for a very strong weld seam. In fact, if it's done properly, it will just as strong as if there were never a joint there. It will be as one solid piece of sheetmetal. This cannot be accomplished with lap welding and especially not with adhesives. The adhesives on the market today are great, in their place, but this isn't one of them. I can assure you, that you will see the seam if you go the glue route. It may not show up immediately, but it will show up. Too many variables to deal with. Butt welding is the only way to fly when replacing exterior body panels if you want a high quality repair. All other methods are sub standard. This will get you started. If you get into any more trouble, let us know. Also, read the "Metalfinishing, Let's talk about it" thread for more info. The message I posted on mig welding the '39 Ford rear fender should give you the information needed to do this.

Quarter Panel Patch
Today I tack welded on my lower quarter patch panels and completed my outer rocker panels for my 49 chevy fleetline. I wanted to thank guys like MartinS, Randy Ferguson, BarryK, Troy and others for the help. Your ideas were very helpful and I am very pleased with the outcome so far with one exception. The guy who did some bodywork before me used a torch to do some welding, and I say torch for a reason. He must have used a cutting tip to braze with. There were massive areas of heat warpage and large areas of brazing pools with about 5lbs of filler per fender. I was so pissed and going at it that I did not wear a mask and I am still choking!
Anyway, I managed to cut out most of the really bad areas and replace them with the patch panels. On the area I thought would be the toughest, (the lower with the round fender hump) they turned out great, I mean really great. Take a straight edge, and maybe a skim of filler is all that will be needed, not much if any light passing through that straight edge at this point. I managed to get most of the previous bodymans warpage out using Randys suggested method, heck it almost felt like being at work just dollying away. Here is the kicker though. On a 49 chevy rear fender.(no digital..damn) there is a large section above and around the wheel wells that is fairly flat. It had massive amounts of filler and bad brazing warpage and some rust through, so here I go with another premade (Made-Rite) patch panel. I cut the area square to about 6" above the wheel opening and about 2 feet long(Used the patch panel as a template and marked it with a sharp scribe). So far so good, but the wheelwell is close to the inner side of the fender at the long cut seam. I manage to finally get the panel fairly lined up with some challenges. It went in with a bit of tension, so I trimmed it in. It did not fit as well as the others, as they were dead on. On this patch, I had tight areas to clean up and a couple of gaps up to maybe a 1/16". When I went along and tacked it in, tacks about every inch, I then checked in all directions with a straight edge. What I found was if you turn the straighedge vertically, I have a gap that goes from 1/8" to 3/16 of an inch that is deepest at the tack seam, OUCH!!!!! So, I look at it to see if I can work it and weld it and maybe dolly it flatter afterward, (no solid welding done yet). The problem is that the factory wheel well is right in the way so I cannot work it from the backside! At this point, the rocker is welded solid (not much of an issue) and the lower and upper quarter panel patch panels are all tacked together pretty good. The lower looks great, but the upper (wheel well opening) is my problem. How do I work it flat or flatter if I cannot get to back side to dolly it. There is about 2 inches of clearance between the wheel well and the fender on the inside. By the way these wheel wells are welded to the trunk and I think the gap is for body movement as it there is a large rubber type of gasket for sealing between the wheel well and inner side of fender and trunk.
I am using a mig welder and I do not think it is as much welding heat issue as something else. When I cut the original, it kind of seems to go inward toward the wheel from how it appears. Any ideas on how to correct this or flatten? I was almost thinking of cutting it out and maybe use panel adhesive on the top of the patch panel and weld the edges toward the bottom. I have some 3M 8115. But then how would I get a good clamp with maybe 2 inches of clearance not to mention how would I get clamps around everything. Kind of stuck and looking for ideas on this one. I really hate to cut it out as it seems to kind of get out of shape when you recut them. By the way, I have been using an air body saw and 3" angle grinder to do much of the work. The only other thing I could think of that gave me the problem was my annoying know it all neighbor who was giving instruction from behind me for about an hour. Of course this is the same guy who welds everything with a stick welder. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Barack Obama confronts a situation in which his nation is economically damaged and militarily exhausted making him less able to take aggressive stands in support of human rights. Several leading human rights groups are urging Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be firm in her meetings with Chinese officials about the situation of human rights in that nation. Human Rights told her fighting for human rights would send "a signal" to Beijing although it is doubtful if such comments would elicit anything other than anger and hostility. Years ago when she was a senator, Clinton spoke at conferences that it is the "duty of all governments to respect the fundamental human rights of women and men." Those words were then, today, she is secretary of state of a nation that is experiencing economic collapse.
Hillary Clinton is now secretary of state and is not an individual senator who can freely speak her mind. The United States has limited leverage on the Chinese government and it is not likely she can do anything other than express some quiet pleasant words.

Hey everyone, I have cruising around the jetpack forum and I notice that all the jetpacks are quite bulky. I am going to be making an assassin mando and want to get a smaller jetpack (stealthy like). Anyone have any ideas or people I should look to?
I was wondering what you all would think would be good weapons to be put onto my gauntlets. I ordered gauntlets from redkraytdragon and a flame thrower attachment (which I may convert into a dart shooter) and I want to put blades on the outsides of both gauntlets. Any thoughts would be great!
Does anyone know where I can get a cheap vest the looks good?
Are there any small blaster/blaster pistols that are cheap?
My budget is low I just bought armor gauntlets, a flight suit will be purchased soon and a helmet will be ordered shortly.

Gary, do you have any desire to keep bees, or do you just want them out of your attic? If you would like to remove them and keep them in your own equipment, you have a little more time. But if you just want them removed, you should act as quickly as you can, because it's spring build-up time and they are looking to grow their brood nest right now as fast as they can! Good luck! :D

Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?

Back to your original question, do you see yourself sailing a dinghy or a keelboat? Which type of sailing would your wife most likely enjoy? That's the direction I would go, because there are enough guys on here who complain about there wives not being willing to sail with them, and I married my wife to spend time with her, not away from her...
I started with the buy a trailer sailor, read as much as I can, and sail as often as I can method. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my wife... Our kids love sailing, even my mother-in-law loves it, but every time the boat starts to heel slightly the mommy inside my wife goes into protect her babies mode, and she can't relax. Just the idea of going out with an experienced instructor made her agree to spend 4 days on the Chesapeake Bay. This will either make or break my wife as a sailor, but if it helps her enjoy herself it is money well spent.
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
"Danger Will Robinson!" as they used to say in Lost in Space.
Rushing into an un-shared dream is pretty risky and one reason why a lot of boats are sitting in the marina or rotting in back yards.
Has the OP's spouse been out on a gentle sunset cruise on a nice sailboat with dinner and cocktails served?
Spent a day on a tall ship or wind jammer?
Watched sailing races from the comfort of a club patio?
Had a social chat with sailing women?
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
The last thing you want to do now is turn the Mrs. off to sailing and a dinghy just might do that. We bought a large trailer sailer straight out and started sailing. The boat is a little stiff (I think) so with a little practice I can reduce the leanin' and eliminate the screamin'. If I may be so bold, pick up a copy of The Complete Trailer Sailor by Brian Gilbert. Lots of great info but especially a section in the back with specs, sketches, pros and cons of 50 or so small to large trailer sailers. It can help you pick out what you like. Two things I'd keep an eye on: head room and head room. One for standing, one for sitting. An enclosed head is always a hit for the ladies. As far as experience goes, you have MUCH more that I had when I motored past the jetty into the Atlantic and hoisted my jib. It was the very first time on a sailboat. I had lots of studying and a USCGA certificate; I wasn't perfect moron. That's takes practice so I had to work way up to it. Check my other posts for a complete listing of unrehearsed foibles. But, here we are, me and my lovely bride, 1200 nm later and still sailing strong. Keep at it. And remember: Reef early, preferably at the dock.
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
No the sailing is more of my "thing" the pattern seems to be I try something new, get interested in it and do it often then she tries it. This is a little different as she is not comfortable on the water.
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
Ah, it sounds like your wife has not yet taken a class.
Maybe a class of her own would be an excellent move.
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
Thanks for all the feedback. Right now I'm in a holding pattern for the next few months due to an upcoming move. Otherwise I think my plan would be to buy a small used boat with enough room that we could camp overnight on the boat.
So I think I'm going to go ahead and take both classes. The dinghy class is a few weeks before the intermediate sailing class. My plan is to try to be as confident as possible on the water before i get my wife on the boat.
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
How has your wife responded to being in the class? How much confidence does she now have in her sailing skills?
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
I would recommend the keelboat lessons if only for the practice pulling the boat in and out of the slip and maneuvering around the marina. You might not realize how difficult that can be, and dinghy experience won't help you.

Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
I've learned a ton by owning my own boats, but a lot of that has been on how to maintain and repair boats, not only on how to sail them.
The two best sailors that I know have never owned a boat. I aspire to be as good of a sailor as them one day. They also have a lot less money invested in the sport by renting instead of owning. Both have been sailing instructors and have tons of access to smaller boats through that. I love introducing friends to sailing and hope to teach beginning sailing soon.
I took a single class and have been a mix of self taught and taught by inviting more experienced crew to sail with me. This has worked well (and I'm lucky to have many good sailors who are friends), but I think I could have benefited from instruction as well (especially with handling large inboard-driven keelboats in tight quarters).
At a minimum I'd suggest that your classes should cover enough sailing that you can understand how to safely handle the boat in a variety of wind conditions, do man overboard rescues in a few different ways, steer the boat with the sails (doing that helps you understand how to balance the sails), hove-to in rough conditions, and dock under sail (in addition to docking under power). Classes will help you get experienced in a variety of sailboats, which will make you a more informed buyer when you do get your own. I know that I found it difficult to understand the differences in how 20', 22', 25', and 30' boats would feel and sail in a different sea conditions without personal experience.
Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
I'm usually a big proponent of starting small, for all the reasons set forth above. And if that fits with your plans, then go for it! I'm also a big proponent of buying, rather than renting (though crewing for others can be a good option), because you learn a lot more when you actually own the boat.
All that being said, in your particular case, I think a keelboat class makes more sense than a dinghy class. You're not planning on sailing a dinghy any time soon, and your goal is to be a proficient big boat sailer. I whole heartedly agree that dinghy sailing teaches you a lot of skills that translate nicely when you move to bigger boats, but I also agree that they are different animals. It won't hurt you to focus on keel boats, and that will help you get out on the water sooner in the kind of boat you intend to own while still allowing you to learn to be a competent sailer.
Getting your wife in the dinghy class would probably be a mistake - most dinghies are tender, and she'll be heeling quite a bit, which may well turn her off to the whole notion. If you can get into a comfortable boat for the keelboat class, she may see the difference size and weight make, and be more comfortable aboard. The idea of splitting you up may make sense, depending on how receptive you think she'll be to taking the keelboat class alone.
My wife is a decent swimmer, but we have kids and that makes her very concerned about the boat's stability. She and I took lessons on a 14.5' American, and she was nervous about having our boys (at that time, ages 3 and 5) aboard. We "graduated" from there to a 25' Catalina, and have now moved up to a 31' Allmand. The difference in stability between each of those is significant. For example, when boarding the American you needed to get to the centerline as quickly as possible to avoid feeling like the boat was going to capsize. The Catalina handled people climbing aboard over the lifelines, but a roughly 200LB person would cause the boat to rock pretty well. The Allmand is significantly more stable; you almost don't notice someone climbing aboard. The boats are also comparably tender, in my opinion.

If New Zealand get to Eden Park this week at 0-0, they'll be exceedingly happy. The cricket nation will be pleasantly surprised too after the grim forebodings of the gulf between themselves and England in test terms. Whether they do draw this test almost certainly depends on events at the Basin Reserve today, when New Zealand, following on 211 runs behind, start the fourth day at 77 for one. They are 134 runs short of making England bat a second time, and, as an old French teacher would have described it, with a job of work to do.

Hit the river for the first time this season, last night. It was a little cool, water temp was around 52-55 degrees after dark.Air temp was about 52 when we took out. We did manage to put 2 fish in the boat, I got one 2.5- 3 lbs, my buddy had one about 1.5. 2 keepers and thats all, but we were still fishing so we had a ball. Nice and quite, had the lake to ourselves. Sissies dont fish at night in the cold, it takes a special breed.Tight lines all.

Hi all,
I moved my "left ear" pics into this thread. . . not sure why I couldn't change the title of the other thread.
Anyway, I've recently started painting my super sweet new M_S 2. It will be ESB, and I'll post progress pics in this thread as I go.
Here's the left ear for starters. To paint it, I used Testors RLM Green #83, with details picked out in RLM Lichtblau, and Polly Scale Rock Island Maroon. I tried to follow reference pics as closely as I could.
The decals are by Ely (fantastic by the way!).

ARSC Announces New System Procurement
More details will be available later, but we wanted to let ARSC users and other newsletter subscribers know:
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center will be installing a Sun Microsystems high performance computing system running SuSE Linux. The system will consist of 952 AMD Opteron dual core 2.6 GHz processors (1904 total cores), yielding a theoretical system peak floating point performance of 9.88 teraflops. Four gigabytes of memory will be available per core. The compute nodes and the disk storage servers will be connected by a high performance Infiniband switch. In addition to this compute capability, Sun's recently-introduced x4500 disk technology will provide 144 raw terabytes of disk storage. The x4500 systems will use the Lustre file system to deliver high performance shared storage.
We anticipate installation of the Sun system this fall.
Baseline Configuration
The Baseline Configuration (BC) Project of the HPCMP has been working to define consistent working environments across resources of the Modernization Program. The intent of this project is to allow users to compute productively and collaboratively when using the HPC resources at multiple centers.
Towards this end, ARSC has made several changes in the past few months on our allocated resources, iceberg and klondike.
The show_usage command displays standard allocation information about your projects. This information includes:
- Hours allocated to each project
- Hours remaining for each project
- Foreground and background use for each project
- Percent of foreground allocation remaining for each project
- Percent of the fiscal year remaining.
The "-s" option will show allocation information for all allocated ARSC systems.
common queue names
Both klondike and iceberg now accept the standard BC queue names as well as "historical" ARSC queue names.
BC queue name priority -------------- --------------------- standard Standard priority urgent Urgent priority (requires special permission) high High priority (requires special permission) debug Debug priority background Background priority challenge Challenge type (requires challenge project status)
common environment variables
Several environment variables are now set:
ARCHIVE_HOST: the hostname for the system housing long term storage.
WORKDIR: the globally accessible temporary filesystem (same as
ARCHIVE_HOME: the location of long term storage on
ARCHIVE_HOST(same as
JAVA_HOME: the base directory where java is installed if available.
PET_HOME: the directory containing tools installed by the PET CE group.

Phoenix Opens Season with Thrilling 54-53 Win on the Road
By: Jill Wunrow (@JillWunrow)
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - For the sixth consecutive season the Green Bay (1-0) women's basketball team tipped off regular season play with a win, holding off a late charge to defeat UNI (0-1) in its 2012-13 opener at the McLeod Center Saturday, Nov. 10 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The win also marks the eighth consecutive regular season win for the Phoenix.
"UNI is a great team and they're going to win a lot of games this year," said Green Bay head coach Kevin Borseth who improves to 5-5 in regular season openers leading the Phoenix. "It really came down to a half-court game in the end and we had to fight tough to hold on for the win."
With 14:51 to play, the Panthers went on an 11-2 run to cut Green Bay's lead to one (40-39) with 11:18 to play after a three from Brooke Browne. Senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) gave the Phoenix a three-point advantage with a layup with 10:53 to play.
"I love layups, if you can give me one I'll take it," said Eichler who tied a game-high 17 points while grabbing a career and team-high eight rebounds and tying a career-high five steals.
Later in the contest, UNI hit back-to-back three pointers from Jacqui Kalin to take its first lead of the game with 8:46 remaining, making it 45-42 in favor of the Panthers.
With six consecutive free throws, Green Bay took a 48-45 advantage with just under six minutes to play before Jess McDowell drained a three from the left corner to tie the contest at 48. Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) answered with one of her team-high three three pointers from the right side, giving the Phoenix the 51-48 lead and after a UNI basket, drained another three before UNI responded with their 10th three of the contest, cutting the Phoenix lead to one (54-53) with 3:01 to play.
Neither team led by more than four points the final 12:08 of the contest. With 53.1 seconds to play, Green Bay called a timeout to set up a side out-of-bounds play but the shot clock expired on the Phoenix as Lydia Bauer's (Lake Zurich, Ill.) three pointer did not count. UNI got the ball back but Green Bay came up with a big defensive rebound.
"I thought our defense really came to play, especially in the possessions down the stretch where we didn't even let them get a shot off," Borseth said.
Lukan missed a pair of free throws with 5.9 seconds remaining, giving the Panthers one last possession. Green Bay set up its full-court pressure and one last desperation shot from UNI's Brittni Donaldson bounced in and out as the Phoenix held on for the 54-53 win.
In addition to Eichler's 17, classmates Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) and Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) each added 16 and 13 points respectively as Green Bay finished the contest shooting 39 percent from the field.
"To come out and play like we did against a team like Northern Iowa on their home court was a great start for us," Sension said. "I'm going to continue to come out and play hard for my teammates every game with them pushing me to help this team continue to win."
FIRST HALF PLAY: Adrian Ritchie scored Green Bay's first basket of the 2012-13 regular season with a three pointer from the right wing and the early Phoenix lead. The game remained without a basket for the next four minutes until UNI scored a layup to put the Panthers on the board.
Green Bay later went on a 10-0 run midway through the first half while its defense forced four turnovers including two consecutive shot clock violations in the nearly three minute span. UNI ended its scoring drought with a layup from Jen Keitel to cut Green Bay's lead to 22- 13 with 6:07 to play in the first half.
Sension scored eight of her first-half-high 12 points in the final 6:07, including four in the final 49 seconds. Eichler chipped in 10 points with her aggressive play to help guide the Phoenix to a 31-22 halftime lead. Both Eichler and Sension led Green Bay with three rebounds each.
As a team, Green Bay shot 52 percent from the field (13-25) and 66 percent from the free throw line (4-6) in the opening half of play.
NEXT UP: Green Bay will host Central Michigan in its home opener Saturday, Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. at the Kress Events Center. Prior to tip-off, Green Bay Athletics will unveil banners honoring the team's success in 2011-12 postseason play.
Full season ticket and Pick 5 packages are on sale now with the Green Bay Athletics Ticket Office. For more information and to order tickets, please call 920.465.2625 or visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center.

I care about changing healthcare, protecting the environment, having a fairer tax system, and having a safety net, especially while the economy recovers.
Riiighhhtttt. The Bush tax cuts and corporate bailouts were what? Not welfare? Puhlease. Since when is taxation called theft? It'd be nice to at least have an honest and intelligent conversation.
I happen to believe our economy is in the crapper because:1. Stupid wars we didn't have the money for, that are getting nothing of value done, and weren't paid for through increased taxation or revenue.2. Unregulated housing market that collapsed, taking a lot of people down with it. It would be interesting to KNOW how many welfare recipients even vote. It's so easy to paint Democrats as people seeking handouts. I've never gotten a free thing in my life, except from my parents, and have worked every year of my life since I was 14 years old. This would describe all the Democrats I know. I know it's an easy talking point for you to claim welfare as the only reason Ds vote, but it's not accurate and doesn't help either side to understand the other's point of view any better. [/quoteAre you aware of who was behind the housing market crash? And what they were trying to accomplish?People on welfare voting? What percentage of es panics voted for Romney? And it's being talked about everwhere that they voted. If you do not believe they are being taken care of by the Govt. for a short course go to the emergency room on any given day and watch. Or maybe stand in line at a grocery store for awhile and see how they pay for their foodstuff. As for the wars it's probably alot more complicated then you are willing to accept. I have a question for you. If the country goes deeper into the crapper the next couple years what then are we going to use for an excuse? The wars are nearly over, the housing crash was four or five years ago and we have spent billions helping poor people.
1. Stupid wars we didn't have the money for, that are getting nothing of value done, and weren't paid for through increased taxation or revenue.2. Unregulated housing market that collapsed, taking a lot of people down with it.
OK, so you found a few Dems that aren't on welfare. Now turn around and see how many welfare recipients you can find that voted republican. Then you might see the picture.
i will amend my portrayal of dems to include those who are of the opinion that welfare and more government are good things, and that we all should pay for it....endlessly.... you seem to fall into the second category.
Many of the Rs I know are farmers getting subsidies. That's welfare.
I think a tiny bit of welfare is a good thing. Most of it needs reform. Much of it is necessary with the economy in the tank right now, unless you're willing for people to freeze and starve. I think it's ironic to criticize support for the unemployed when 99% of people would prefer to work but cannot find a job.
I would like the govt to shrink--defense, social issues such as abortion and marriage, most corporate subsidies.
As for the budget, a couple days ago I was looking up budgets. It was amazingly difficult to find any 2 pie charts that agreed. Those I looked at had defense spending anywhere from 18-50%. Not sure where the truth lies, but getting out of Afghan. and ramping down on Iraq has got to help.
Kathyp, we might agree on more than we think Wink I like the idea of some state sovreignty, but it seems impractical. For example, if the states took on disaster relief, how exactly does the state devastated by the hurricane take care of itself? If we left welfare to the states, how do impoverished states keep their citizens clothed and fed? If we leave regulation to the states, how does interstate commerce work? And what about national natural resources? What if the western states decided to clear-cut the national forests, something many of us would consider national treasures? Same with education. Should American children have basically similar educations, regardless of whether they grow up in WI or GA?
clear cuts are beautiful and full of wildlife. i love them. + timber grows back. it's a crop. :evil:
indeed. and if you look at the popular vote map, it said "give me stuff".
I don't find that helpful. Most of the people I know and love are Republican, but it's very difficult to get past their talking points. I actually don't know anyone who voted D based on social nets. I know people who voted based on the environment, the economy, access to healthcare and women's reproductive rights.

Trump's Potential to Hurt Obama: Bigger than Both of Them
posted at 6:16 pm on April 11, 2011 by Howard Portnoy
As President Obama begins week two of his campaign for re-election, he finds his poll numbers listing once again into the danger zone. His Gallup job approval rating today is at 45 percent, a telling number since no president ever won re-election with a Gallup approval rating under 47 percent going into Election Day.
Of course, Election Day is still a year and a half off. Much can happen between now and then. Besides, Obama has a not-so-secret weapon working in his favor—the Republicans' chronic inability to find a serious contender among their ranks.
Even seemingly better news for the incumbent, at least at first blush, is the identity of the GOP candidate currently tied for second place among would-be nominees. He is an unpolished and graceless blowhard with garish tastes and an ego even bigger than Obama's. He is real estate mogul Donald Trump. And these qualities—his boorishness and in-your-face attitude—are precisely what makes him a force to be reckoned with.
A more reserved and seasoned candidate would know better than to touch, let alone fully embrace, a hot potato like the subject of Obama's birthplace. But not Trump. He has been all over the airwaves, most recently on CNN on Sunday, asking:
Why doesn't he show his birth certificate? The fact is, if he wasn't born in this country, he shouldn't be the president of the United States. The Constitution requires that the president be a 'natural-born citizen.'
The first inclination of news junkies and pundits is to laugh—to ask whether Trump has even heard of the "birther" controversy. The surprising answer is that he has not only heard of it but is in the process of reinventing it. As he iterated yesterday:
It's a very sad thing, because the people—the birthers—they got labeled and they got labeled so negatively and even the word 'birther' is a negative word. If you come out and … even question, the press goes wild. They get angry at the question.
The Obama campaign so far has tried to deflect the criticism by calling Trump's comments a "sideshow" and asserting—quite correctly, in my view—that "there's zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people."
But Trump's chances of winning even the Republican nomination, which are equally slim, are not what the Obama team needs to worry about. Rather it the mere fact of his ongoing presence in the campaign. The longer Trump harps on the subject of Obama's birth certificate, the more doubt he raises in the minds of impressionable voters.
The question of whether the president was born in America is not and never was a serious one. It doesn't have to be as long as enough voters are curious about it.

Hi Guys!
In this moment I'm working on an old Colt ("new line") but something is missing in the mechanism!
The cylinder is not revolving when I activate the hammer, so maybe the missing part/s is a spring or something like that. - Can anyone of you tell me what I need, or have any of you an exploded drawing of the model?

text: I had never had one in my life (so I know it's not just dry air which the doctor tried to tell me at first).... and then one day I was blowing my nose, possibly too hard? And it started bleeding, and didn't stop for 3 weeks straight basically. I was in emergency nonstop.... they tried a few things that didn't work, but otherwise had no clue what to do.... my doctor doesn't know either and the ENT specialist apparently can't see me until APRIL!! This started beginning of December. It lasted til Christmas then stopped.... I assumed it was healed after not bleeding for a few weeks after this. I was going INSANE without being able to skate... so I tried a camel spin last week... and after a few rotations I was gushing blood all over the ice... and now am having the constant nose bleeds again. Just wondering if anyone here has experienced this or has suggestions? Since it looks like otherwise I'll just be bleeding to death at least until April.

Work Out With a PLL's Trainer!
Yes, we are telling you to eat the same seeds that grow quirky plant pets (as in ch-ch-ch-ch-chia). These little seeds are packed with minerals and fiber, and they give you tons of energy. Chia seeds are also one of the richest sources of Omega-3's, which protect against arthritis and heart disease, and they improve your brain function and focus.
Another bonus of the little seeds? They expand in your stomach and keep you full longer. When added to liquid, the seeds can expand to ten times their size! Since the seeds are tasteless, you can add them to anything for some added nutrients. Throw a teaspoon or two in your smoothie, or sprinkle the seeds on your morning cereal.
17 Expert: Robyn Youkillis, AADP and Holistic Health Coach
Think of kale as an "upgrade" or swap for lettuce. It's a dark, leafy green and is the vegetable if you're looking to get tons of nutrients— it's high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K (you know, just a few). Kale purifies your blood, strengthens your immune system, and improves organ function.
The best part (besides the ah-may-zing benefits) about kale is that it's super easy to introduce into your diet. Throw a handful into your smoothie (the color will change, but you won't even taste it, we promise), use as a base for salads, or cook with olive oil, avocado, and salt for a yummy cooked kale salad.

Drinking Water: Camille Meiners, (317)234-3661, email@example.com
Wastewater: Shelley Love, (317)232-4396, firstname.lastname@example.com
Every four years, Indiana has a opportunity to increase funds available to drinking water systems via the Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey ("Needs Survey"). During a Needs Survey year, a sample of drinking water systems are asked to provide information related to 20-year capital improvement needs. The results of the survey directly impact the Indiana Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Loan Program's national allotment.
In 2011, 84 community water systems participated in the Needs Survey. As a consequence of the needs reported, Indiana maintained its national allotment, resulting in approximately $10.9 million dollars over base for Indiana DWSRF projects.
The 2015 Drinking Water Needs Survey will begin June 2015
Additional Information
For more information, please contact Camille Meiners, SRF Section Chief, at 317-234-3661 or email@example.com
Every four years, the U.S. EPA conducts a comprehensive assessment of the capital needs to meet the water quality goals set in the Clean Water Act. This report is used by Congress to assist with informed budget decisions and provide information on general water quality issues the public.
To be a success, input from all communities is vital!
The 2012 Clean Water Needs Survey concluded October 2012. The results are being verified and analyzed.
The next Clean Water Needs Survey is scheduled to begin January 2016.

Retraceable hears no footsteps in taking Princess Elizabeth
TORONTO, November 1 * Retraceable, a bay daughter of Medaglia d'Oro, easily took Saturday's $250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes.
Confidently ridden by Patrick Husbands, Retraceable watched from mid-pack as first-time starter Sanguine and favourite High Mist, who came into the 1 1/16 mile feature undefeated in three starts, took the seven-horse field through opening splits of :23.35 and :47.14.
Longshot Milwaukee Appeal surged to the front on the far turn, but Retraceable, eight-wide, was waiting to pounce. Down the lane, Retraceable widened her advantage and went on to a 3 ¼ length victory, timed in 1:44.76 on the Polytrack. Milwaukee Appeal held for second, while Flashy Got Even was third.
Mark Casse, who trains and co-owns Retraceable, was happy to finally see his filly enjoy some good fortune.
"She really had a rough trip in the Sales Stakes," said Casse, in reference to a second-place finish in the seven-furlong Muskoka Stakes on September 1. "She got steadied four or five times. In her last start (Mazarine), she pulled her shoe off and afterwards she was notably off. I have to hand it to the gang at the barn, they worked hard on her. It paid off today."
High Mist, the 3-5 choice ridden by Eurico Rosa da Silva, was in prime stalking position throughout, but the Fanfreluche Stakes winner came up empty, winding up fifth.
"Today, she was not herself," said da Silva. "Hopefully, next race she'll fire for us."
Husbands, who celebrated his first Princess Elizabeth score, was happy with how the race unfolded.
"I was trying to get my horse relaxed," said the five-time Sovereign Award winner as Canada's top rider. "I have to take my hat off to Mark. I breezed this horse twice going into this race and I told him she wasn't right. He told me not too worry.
"She ran a dynamite race. She just got lonely the last six strides and jumped back to her left lead. But she showed you she's back to her game."
Rectraceable made a solid first impression, taking her six-furlong career bow by 2 ¾ lengths on July 26.
She paid $6.20, $3.50 and $2.70, combining with Milwaukee Appeal ($11.70, $7.50) for a $79.70 exactor. Flashy Got Even paid $5.80 to show and completed a $421.10 triactor.

Media now mum on Rice's apparent falsehoods
Since President George W. Bush nominated national security adviser Condoleezza Rice to succeed Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, major news outlets have produced numerous reviews and assessments of Rice's record during Bush's first term. But these reports have generally omitted mention of Rice's numerous apparently false statements, even when the reviews were conducted by outlets that originally broke the news of the statements in question.
Iraq's aluminum tubes were "only really suited for nuclear weapons"
In The New York Times' large-scale investigation [1] of the intelligence regarding Iraq's purchase of aluminum tubes, the paper reported on October 3, 2004, that Rice had misrepresented the state of intelligence on the tubes. Prior to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the White House and parts of the intelligence community had promoted the purchase as crucial evidence that then-Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had restarted his nuclear weapons program.
The tubes were "only really suited for nuclear weapons programs," Condoleezza Rice, the president's national security adviser, explained [2] on CNN on Sept. 8, 2002. "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
But almost a year before, Ms. Rice's staff had been told that the government's foremost nuclear experts seriously doubted that the tubes were for nuclear weapons, according to four officials at the Central Intelligence Agency and two senior administration officials, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity. The experts, at the Energy Department, believed the tubes were likely intended for small artillery rockets.
The Times did not mention this incident when reporting [3] on Rice's recent nomination; nor did the paper note other instances in which Rice's truthfulness has been challenged. A separate analysis [4] of Bush's new Cabinet appointments did mention that Rice would likely face questioning in confirmation hearings about "what appeared to be her failures either to warn Mr. Bush about flawed prewar intelligence regarding Iraq's weapons programs or, as Secretary of State Colin L. Powell did, to make dogged efforts of her own to ascertain its accuracy."
Cox News Service [5] also predicted that Rice would face questions about her statements on the tubes. A USA Today article [6] on Rice's nomination recalled her statements on the tubes, as did a Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service editorial [7] originally published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Journal Sentinel editorial board opined: "If outgoing Secretary of State Colin Powell will be remembered for his 'you break it, you own it' advice to the president, Rice regrettably will be remembered for her assertion, which she should have known to be false, that those infamous aluminum tubes 'are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs' in Iraq."
Despite the Journal's prediction, few media outlets have "remembered" Rice's assertion or reported it in the context of her nomination for higher office.
"This August 6th PDB was in response to the president's questions"
On March 25, 2004, The Washington Post debunked [8] Rice's longstanding claim that the famous August 6, 2001, presidential daily brief (PDB) entitled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S." came in response to a specific request for a summary of potential Al Qaeda plans to attack the United States following a summer of elevated threat reports.
The CIA now says that a controversial August 2001 briefing summarizing potential attacks on the United States by al Qaeda was not requested by President Bush, as Rice and others had long claimed. ... After the highly classified document's existence was first revealed in news reports in May 2002, Rice held a news conference in which she suggested that Bush had requested the briefing because of his keen concern about elevated terrorist threat levels that summer.
Beyond the news conference [9] that the Post mentions (where Rice's statements about Bush's requests were ambiguous), Rice repeated the claim about Bush's supposed request in her April 8 testimony [10] before the 9-11 Commission: "The fact is that this August 6th PDB was in response to the president's questions about whether or not something might happen or something might be planned by Al Qaeda inside the United States."
Neither The Washington Post [11] nor any other U.S. news outlet mentioned this apparent falsehood in its recent coverage of Rice, according to an MMFA search.
"Our plan called for military options to attack Al Qaeda"
In a March 22, 2004, op-ed in The Washington Post, Rice suggested that the Bush administration was developing plans to invade Afghanistan even before September 11, 2001. But Chapter 6 [12] of the 9-11 Commission report notes that far from an invasion, the pre-9-11 plan "called for a multiyear effort involving diplomacy, covert action, economic measures, law enforcement, public diplomacy, and if necessary military efforts." Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage revealed in testimony before the 9-11 Commission that the immediate military component was in fact added to the administration's plan only after the September 11 attacks.
From Rice's March 22 op-ed [13]:
Through the spring and summer of 2001, the national security team developed a strategy to eliminate al Qaeda -- which was expected to take years. ... Our plan called for military options to attack al Qaeda and Taliban leadership, ground forces and other targets -- taking the fight to the enemy where he lived.
From Armitage's March 24 testimony [14] before the 9-11 Commission; Armitage is responding to a question from commissioner Jamie Gorelick [15]:
GORELICK: So I would ask you whether it is true that -- whether it is true, as Dr. Rice said in The Washington Post, "Our plan called for military options to attack Al Qaeda and Taliban leadership, ground forces, and other targets, taking the fight to the enemy where he lived." Was that part of the plan as -- prior to 9-11?
ARMITAGE: No, I think that was amended after the horror of 9-11.
No U.S. news outlet mentioned this apparent falsehood in its recent coverage of Rice, according to an MMFA search.
"Richard Clarke had plenty of opportunities"
On March 22, 2004, Rice tried to answer former National Security Council counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke's claim that the Bush administration did not treat terrorism as a serious threat before the September 11, 2002, attacks. She told CNN: "Richard Clarke had plenty of opportunities to tell us in the administration that he thought the war on terrorism was moving in the wrong direction and he chose not to." In fact, Clarke sent Rice a memo on January 25, 2001, in which he wrote: "We urgently need . . . a Principals level review on the al Qida [sic] network." According to the 9-11 Commission report [12]:
The national security advisor did not respond directly to Clarke's memorandum. No Principals Committee meeting on al Qaeda was held until September 4, 2001 (although the Principals Committee met frequently on other subjects, such as the Middle East peace process, Russia, and the Persian Gulf).
(See below for news coverage of Clarke's revelations about Rice.)
"No al Qaeda plan was turned over to the new administration"
Rice also wrote in her March 22 Post op-ed [13] that "No al Qaeda plan was turned over [by the Clinton administration] to the new administration." But according to the 9-11 Commission report [12], when Clarke sent Rice his aforementioned 2001 memo, he also sent her the so-called "Delenda Plan" -- which he had developed in 1998 -- along with an updated "strategy paper" entitled "Strategy for Eliminating the Threat from the Jihadist Networks of al Qida [sic]: Status and Prospects."
Ahead of Bush's official nomination of Rice as secretary of state, The Washington Post assessed [16] her tenure at the National Security Council. The article devoted significant space to recalling Clarke's and the 9-11 Commission's criticisms of Rice but did not highlight Rice's pattern of factually dubious statements regarding Clarke. Other news outlets (including The Boston Globe [17]; the Baltimore Sun [18]; and Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service [19]) noted Clarke's allegations that Rice failed to heed his warnings about terrorism, but none specifically mentioned her apparently false statements.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Jul 28, 2008.
Well, one way or another we'll find out once the season starts.
Seems like what ppl speculated was the main reason for KB . . . Brown is low-risk move for Dumars
Let's take a closer look at Kwame Brown. He pretty much fits the profile of free agents the Pistons have brought in the last few years. He does one thing, bodying up on D, not horribly. He can't move his feet, he can only play one position (not that well) and he's likely to kill off a few forum members with his dropped passes and missed dunks. Not surprisingly, the media, like Tony the Tiger, is quick to point out that this is a Greeeeaaaat "low risk" signing by Joe. They are probably happy because they only have to go back to last year's article about the great low risk signing of Jarvis Hayes and replace his name with Brown's.
Ernie, I agree. These "low risk" moves haven't produced any results yet. One would think it is time for a "medium risk" move at least.
The fact that he was a #1 pick may be part of the thought process. This kid couldn't live up to the hype and crumbled under the pressure, criticism, taunts, KBsucks.com websites and such. He's surely nowhere close to a #1 pick talent-wise, but maybe he is better than his reputation and can "blossom" in a good environment. $4M sounds like a lot, but it's not much more that we are paying Amir, who as everyone knows is just an overrated foul machine.
Remember all the hype about Nazir Mohamed? How much better he would make the Pistons and all.
He did... when he left.
I don't remember any Nazr hype . . . Everyone called it for what it was; a panic signing.
The offense really took off with him out there in place of Ben. I swear, Nazr did more to help DET win playing for SA in G6 that I just watched then he ever did playing for the Pistons.
I don't think there was much hype (or hope) when Nazr was signed...and Kwame is a poor man's Nazr.
To recap, DET brought in a guy who might be the worst # 1 pick ever that no one else wanted, a guy who looks like Fabio who they're seemingly afraid to announce that they've signed and drafted a guy who struggles to stay awake as well as 2 guys who admit they're not good enough to play in the league. Am I missing anyone?
That might be because they haven't officially signed him yet... unless they did it this morning. I'll have to check on that.
Langlois has an article about the conference call on Pistons.com. I think that means he will practice dodging projectiles and talking to a reporter at the same time.
Biggest Busts In NBA Draft History | The Onion - America's Finest News Source Kwame made the list! Besides his inclusion, the rest of the list could be categorized as "somewhat joking".
I love The Onion. It absolutely IS "Americas' finest news source".
Grant Hill working out pretty good for us, hardly missed any games at all. His problems started when he moved to Orlando.
Jordan has been sort of a bust in management.
He DID bring in the greatest coach in the history of sports this year. I fully expect the B-Cats to "play the right way" and lock down the 7th seed in the East.
The Grizz's replacement for Giant Turd. Given his propensity for excelling against Serbians (20pts/20reb/6blk), Ehadadi should be starting in front of Darko by week two of the season.
Just out of curiosity, I thought it would be cool to compare the career highs for all of our big man. In some ways, this tells what they are capable of. I was surprised that Kwame's were so good and it makes me hopeful that he will pleasantly surprise us. Career Highs: Kwame 48 min/ 30 pts/ 19 reb/ 7 ast/ 4 stl/ 6 blk Sheed 56 min/ 42 pts/ 18 reb/ 8 ast/ 6 stl/ 6 blk Dyess 54 min/ 46 pts/ 21 reb/ 7 ast/ 7 stl/ 7 blk Maxiell 44 min/ 28 pts/ 15 reb/ 5 ast/ 2 stl/ 6 blk Amir Johnson 37 min/ 20 pts/ 12 reb/ 3 ast/ 3 stl/ 7 blk The things that jump out at me.Kwame is capable of doing many things well. Off the bench, I'll take some streakiness on offense if he plays consisten D. Discount his 7 assists if they were the result of throwing the ball in Kobe's general direction.Dyess was a stud in his prime.It's amazing that nobody on this list has had a game with more blocks than AJ, given his limited minutes and few years in the league.How is it possible that Maxiell hasn't had a 3 steal game yet? Oh well, compared to Bresec, he's a regular John Stockton.

Hi, im looking into teaching English abroad and hoped you guys could give me an idea of where to start and things.
My background is in IT but I now currently work with Youth Work. First I was wondering what the best course is to do i.e Celta, Tefl or Tesol. Also if I do complete one of these courses, most probably be one of the longer running courses and not the weekend, would I be able to apply and get jobs abroad, preferably in Asia, South America and Africa.
I have taught English when I was in Asia but would like to get some proper qualifications before returning to do it as I plan to do this as a living.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated, cheers

And another slander if I'm reading you right. Equating atheism/humanism to Nazis and Communists if I'm reading you right. For something to be causal it must both be required for and sufficient to justify actions. Lacking a belief in the Christian god is neither required for dictatorship/genocide, nor sufficient to justify it. Sure it's compatible, but so is Judaism/Christianity (divine right monarchies / genocide in the Old Testament like Jericho).There has never been a society led by Humanists, so your accusation that it ends terribly is false. However, the Enlightenment and our Founding Fathers were the foundation of modern Humanism, so secular American governance is the closest thing we have seen. Learn what Humanists are before you start making assumptions about what we do or don't believe, or what actions are or are not consistent with our philosophy.And with that, I'm done with your bigotry kathyp.Have a good life everyone, be good for the sake of goodness.
All i can say is i have to applaud green bee, being that its his first day on the forums and having the balls to enter this discussion and being so articulate in your posts. Way to dive in head first.-Ron
Thanks Jim for demonstrating my point about how there are different versions of the Ten Commandments. If anyone is interested in more info on this there's a page on About.com, search "Different Versions of the Ten Commandments" and it's the top article (sorry, can't give links yet).
more 'exclusion' behavior... seems to me some folks are addicted to a monologue and cannot tolerate a conversation???
Personally, for a long time I've found it pretty weird that Christians, as in followers of Jesus Christ, uphold or follow the ten commandments at all... It's to my understanding that Jesus pretty much tossed the old testament rules in favor of just two rules in the new testament. I don't get why followers of Jesus disregard his words and keep following the old testament stuff.
I surely wasn't coming to anyone's rescue - especially yours: saying you need rescueing is like saying a pitbull needs a stronger jaw.

I'm not quite certain why it is assumed I'm a nu-bee. I've been managing bees for a long time, have been to many of the local conferences, am on the executive of the County Beekeepers' Assoc and plan to go to Apimondia in France next year. And I'm still looking for an on-line course that covers the Master Beekeeper program and is one that others might recommend.
There's a reason why the definition of assume is to make an arse out of you and me :evil:
