'Preppers' on guard for every catastrophe
OTTAWA — Preppers, survivalists, homesteaders. They go by different names but people with heightened emergency preparedness are often dismissed as paranoid doomsdayers or ridiculed as in the recently released This Is The End apocalyptic comedy.
"Anything can happen here," says Breanna Gray, the 23-year-old founder of a small prepper networking group in Ottawa.
Natural disasters, pandemics, terrorists attacks: Gray posts stories about these from around the world to the group's Facebook page. She thinks they could happen here and doesn't want to get caught off guard.
"You wouldn't hesitate to buy house insurance or life insurance to protect your family, and it's kind of (like) doing the same thing," Gray says of prepping.
She can't recall when she first started preparing; she was always the one to have a first aid kit handy and a purse filled with remedies for whatever life might throw at her that day.
Now, she can survive for a few days with what she carries in her purse. Her apartment cupboards are filled with a couple months' worth of food and water, which she adds to bit by bit with every paycheque. She also has a bug-out bag: a prepper necessity containing 72 hours of food, water, clothing, medication, shelter building and other survival supplies. With an evacuation plan and remote Northern Ontario location as her escape destination, Gray is ready to skedaddle at a moment's notice. She's also in the process of acquiring her firearm licence.
For Gray, it's not only a matter of being prepared to protect her and her husband's lives — he's more or less signed on to the prepper thing, too — but also to relieve pressure on emergency services.
"The more people are able to be resilient, the less they're going to put a burden on the people responding to the emergency, and they can get on to situations with people at risk," says Allison Stuart of Emergency Management Ontario.
The organization's warnings — and their associated emergency preparedness suggestions — are well aligned with Gray's. Its website lists seven natural, nuclear and disease-related disasters among its potential hazards (and yes, extreme heat is included). It recommends developing a plan in case of emergency, having a 72-hour survival kit ready and staying informed of developments.
Allen Charron has never doubted the importance of being prepared.
"I prep everyday. It's a lifestyle," he says. Unlike Gray, Charron is most concerned about societal collapse as a result of a financial or governmental breakdown.
The 49-year-old Barrie resident runs Bug-Out Canada, a company that offers wilderness survival and self-defence courses. It's part of a much larger Ontario preppers network, including an online food and supplies store.
The former special forces officer and bush pilot says survivalism is a "lost skill" and many people underestimate how difficult it can be.
Outside his business, Charron's prepping makes Gray look like she's packing for a picnic. He's part of a 19-member prepper group that goes on "bug-out" retreats, communicates daily and shares several underground stockpiles with seven years worth of supplies. These include important barter items like 20 pounds of tobacco, pre-packaged with wrapping papers and lighters. Charron estimates he's spent about $30,000 on prepping.
People looking to join the group need to undergo an extensive interviewing process and commit to a buy-in package of supplies. They also have to be unanimously accepted by the group.
Preppers are generally private people, willing to divulge few details about their stockpiles or emergency plans. Despite this, many are open about swapping ideas — the Ontario Preppers Survival Network held a two-day meet-up in Huntsville in July — and say they will help anybody who comes knocking on their door when disaster strikes. For Charron, that includes his family, who he says considers him an "alarmist."
He adds that people would be surprised to find out how many professionals are "closet preppers."

Discussion in 'January 2012' started by roscoe36, Jan 26, 2012.
8:00 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Two observations from this terrible game: 1- Austin Daye is the most talented dumb player I've ever seen. 2- Vernon Macklin is the best defensive big we have.
2 starters with 0 points is never good. We had an eFG% of .391. We missed 51 shots. They had an eFG% of .586. They missed 34 shots. We had 17 offensive rebounds to their 7, so that helped limit the damage. Total rebounds were a wash, which favored us do to the imbalance in off/ def chances. Turnovers were a wash. Assists were a wash. If Flip Saunders were to analyze this, he may conclude that Milwauke "made shots". http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/shotchart?gameId=320130015 They made 9 threes to our 1 and they hit from all around the court. On the highlight of Delfino's dunk, you can see that Monroe is in decent position to challenge it, but he decides not to. Stuckey was only -1 on the night and he was a big reason why with 19 points (7-7 from the line), 6 assists, and 2 steals in only 25 minutes. The team thrived tonight when he was on the court without Knight.
I was surprised when Knight came back into the game during garbage time and had no points....and only 2 assists. He was like the invisible man tonight. Then again it was if they were all invisible as this game as someone said in the chat room was over at tip off. Once again at the start of the game, the start of 3rd and the start of the 4th, the Bucs were ready to play and the Pistons were still trying to tie their shoe laces. Monroe and Vernon Macklin were the only Pistons to shoot 50% or better from the floor and Macklin who played the last 6 mins of the game had more points than Knight, Big Ben, or Max and tied Wilkens with 4, despite Daye hogging the ball in garbage time.... Should this offense which just barely exceeded their 81 ppg average, sit Tay to see if it can score more??? They average 99.5 when he missed two games sitting at home catching up on re-runs of Family Matters.
Rookie. I think in a few years we will know whether Brandon is the clutch-shooting, shades-of-zeke point guard we dreamed of, or whether he washes out with the rest that show flashes but don't ever reach the next level. Hard to call at this point.
6 assists from the new guy! He isn't a scorer, but his 5.2 assists per 36 minutes leads the team and so does his a/to ratio (barely ahead of Stuckey in both). He's gotta be proud of that since he is very fortunate to be on the floor during NBA games at all, much less leading the team in something. In scoring, he is only ahead of Ben Wallace in points per minute, and that isn't saying much. His .174 shooting percentage is beyond horrific (4 for 23 shooting on the year). Walker Russell also happens to be leading the Pistons in steals per minute. You don't have to score a lot if you're a true point guard, but you do have to shoot better than an old center with a wrist that pops out of joint to stay in the league I would imagine.
A contrast in efficiency: Tonight, the Pistons took 83 shots and scored 65 points from the floor. The Clippers took 80 shots and scored 103 points from the floor. The Mavs took 87 shots to score 110 from the floor. So, they were about 40 points better on a shot for shot basis purely through increased accuracy. We're not the worst though- the Magic took 78 shots to score 59 points. Howard's 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks didn't do much for them. Only 5 of the 17 FG's made by their starters were assisted. Vern Macklin's ppg average has surpassed Ben Wallace's, even though VM only averages 4.5 minutes per game. VMack's win shares per 48 are #1 on the team. His defensive rating is the same as Ben's, but his offensive rating is 43 points higher per 100 possessions. Leads the team in eFG. 2nd in PER behind Monroe. It's either a small sample size or... well it's probably exactly that. Btw he's 25 years old? The same age as Stuckey? Only 1 year younger than Darko, who is in his 9th season?
I think it'd be worth a shot at least, doubt Tay would go for it though. It's his team after all, he simply must be there to bog down his team's offense with endless isotayshauns! On a more serious note, I only caught half the game, but what I saw was a team that looked like they still felt the effects of the Atlanta game, especially Knight. In the first quarter, everyone but Greg was settling for jumpers, even Stuckey, whose entire game has been heavily reliant on getting inside. He looked better in the second quarter, driving in more and getting to the line. The offense still looked sluggish though, no matter who was running it. This team and the one that played against Miami and Atlanta are night and day. Subtraction by addition? Maybe, maybe not, all I know is Tay looked like the odd man out, the odd man everyone defers to. Re Brandon - his shot has been a bit off the last 2-3 games, but he's usually more active than he has been against Philly and Milwaukee. Rookie wall maybe? He was driving inside and was a lot more aggressive the last time we played Milwaukee, and that was with Bogut guarding the inside for them. Dude just looked a step slow and was surprisingly unaggressive all night. Most nondescript game I've ever seen him play - also his only zero point outing on the year. Saw that he came in for JJ with 40 seconds left - not sure what Frank wanted him to do there. Know why I think Austin Daye is a bad defender? Lead feet. I noticed that during the game whenever he would dribble. He just looked slow, and the defender was almost always able to recover to him even after getting screened off. He's like a taller, more awkward version of Tayshaun - holds the ball just that second too long, will do a tay fake that fools no one, and takes forever to decide to pass/shoot. This guy has the potential to be a chucker of Beasley proportions. Fancy passer though. He looks like he tries on D as I'm sure he knows it's what'll keep him on the floor when his shot's off, but he's just not good at it. Also - lol at the sheer stupidity of having Greg (your leading scorer big man who was having a good game) make entry passes to IsoTay to post up player number 100000000 and miss his takes forever to launch hook shot. On to NY - for the Ping Pong Balls!
V Mack is going to get released if he keeps dunking in the games. Not so young, young fella, that is not Piston basketball! I'd like to see him play more just to get some size on the court if he goes w/ Monroe. Like Bill L said, what's the worse that can happen? I am to the point where I get angry just watching Austin Daye run up the floor. I think they should let his life coach onto the floor with him like a plankton fish. I am very impressed with the leap Stuckey's game has taken this year. If the Pistons are still feeling the effects of the ATL game then they should just fold the team.
Walker Russell Jr. was averaging 16.0 ppg (41% FG) with the Mad Ants before he got called up. I think he can score, but has no confidence in his shot right now. He also averaged 9.9 assists and 1.9 steals per game and shot 88% FT with Fort Wayne. At age 29, though, he is probably not more than a roster-filler (ala Will Bynum) at this point in his career.
3rd game in 4 nights? That is it. Mystery solved.
The Bucks game was game #1 of a 3-day back-to-back-to-back stretch of road games. Last time that happened? Ask Woody.
Getting ahead of myself, but so far of the teams that have already played their back to back to back games, none of them have lost all three games. This includes the cellar dwellers like Charlotte, Washington, Toronto and New Orleans who all have multiple game losing streaks beyond three games like our Pistons. The Bobcats avoided the b-b-b trio loss, by winning game three of the b-b-b and the Raptors won game 2 of their three game set. Will the Pistons be the first to lose all three, or do we get a Carmeloless Knick team tonight that provides a victory for the Pistons..and avoids the pressure of trying to hard to win tomorrow in NJ?
This is a good opportunity for us.
Good to know. It's understandable that he would try to make an impression passing first. His shot form doesn't look terrible, but not good either. He's one of those short guys with a ton of legs in his shots. Tough to be consistent.
Also, watching Monroe in these last few games should lay to rest all the "this guy's not athletic" talk. The dude can move! He beats everyone to the rim in fast breaks and he's very quick around the basket, whether it's his drives or his cuts. He doesn't play above the rim for sure, but he's not slow. The Pistons need to just complete their execution. They keep running these plays, passing the ball around to get a guy open and that guy just pump fakes and restarts the play all over again. Whether it be Russell, Daye, JJ, etc etc. Everybody on this team needs to grow a pair and take the friggin shot. I want to see Macklin get more minutes. Yeah, he's only played in GT so far, but he's making the right defensive moves. Add to that his size, he'll be an upgrade over both Maxiell and Wallace. I would love to see what a Macklin-Monroe frontcourt can do. He's not the ultimate solution, but he's better than anybody else we have at the 4.
I agree, Monroe is athletic. He just doesn't have hops. I've notice how often he faces up in the post. You don't do that unless you are quick. And his best quality is probably his soft touch on the glass. He wouldn't be nearly as good if he had the non-dunking finishing ability of the average center. His free throw touch is actually pretty good too, so there is hope for development on his range. It's pretty cool that he has defined himself clearly as the best player on the team... and we drafted him! When was the last time that happened- Isiah?

Is the skull logo on the pre-pro boba different that the one on the other versions? If so does anyone have a really good pic of it and/or know where I can get one?
Ok good pics. Now the task of finding where I can get that.
I can give it a shot;):D
PM me for the info.
I made this up this morning:D
What do you think?
Eli, you won't stop surprising us! :D:thumbsup
Robert :fettrotj
Really nice. Good job, see I knew if I asked someone could hook it up.
Lookin' good there bud,
Looking at some of the other pics of it in my chronicles book though, I'd say that the symbol itself needs to be wider . . the head isn't quite that oblong I don't think.
Thanks Robert and Predatormv:D
Ego, how does this look, I just widened it in photoshop. I also changed the area around the "nose" as I looked closer at the pics.
Once again, you da man Ely! Any pre-pro Fetts out there will be happy to have you around...of course, we're all pretty lucky you're here :)
By the way, thanks for the decals you've sent my way...they are GREAT!!!
You get Jer Stamp Of Approval on that one now! (for whatever the hell that's worth! hahaha)
Looks sweet buddy!
Wish I was doing a prepro so I could use one!
Looks great for all the pre-pro guys out there.I just noticed the similarity between the insignia on the top of the skull,and the chest decal symbol.Does anyone else see it ?
Yup, that's one of the first things I noticed. I used the same symbol from my chest emblems and just made a couple of modifications: shortened the bottom and lengthened the left "T".
Does this actually stand for something?
By the way, I made a couple already for Predatormv, and if anyone else is interested, PM me.

hej hej
I have read the forum discussion about taking the tefl cert online .........and how it should be checked that it is verified by a reputable educational body.
However I cannot find anywhere that the bodies recommended do an online cert As I live in Sweden and there are no courses being run here - an online course is my only option
Does anyone know which of the online certificate courses would then be the best to go for , bearing in mind the comments about their being a waste of money and not recognised as a certificate.
any suggestions or advice please ?

Arsène Wenger ranks Theo Walcott's performance against Newcastle as his "best ever".
The winger enjoyed an excellent night on the right flank against Alan Pardew's side, setting up the equaliser for Robin van Persie and creating a string of chances in the second half as Arsenal pushed for a winner.
Walcott was the fans' man of the match on Arsenal.com and Wenger believes the 22-year-old deserves huge credit for his display.
"Theo Walcott was outstanding," said Wenger. "From the first to last minute he was great. I feel it was his best performance for us.
"Against Milan, Theo was hitting top form and he has continued it tonight. He played with intelligence and power.
"Newcastle gave the impression of a strong team and to come back quickly was important," the Frenchman added.
"The equaliser was provided by Walcott. We speak many times of many other players and he deserves great credit this time because he was exceptional."

Mookie Blaylock on Life Support Following Accident
Former Atlanta Hawk and New Jersey Net Mookie Blaylock is in critical condition and has been placed on life support following a two car accident in Atlanta this afternoon.
Blaylock was one of two people critically injured when his vehicle hit another head on. Blaylock's Cadillac Escalade crossed the median on Tara Boulevard into the southbound lane. According to police, the accident happened at 1PM this afternoon.
The other names injured have not been released, but all were flown to Atlanta Medical Center. Blaylock was found unrespomsive and a female passenger suffered from internal bleeding.
Blaylock played for 13 seasons in the NBA and was named to two All-Defensive Teams. He was named to the Eastern Conference roster for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, his only All-Star appearance. An interesting side note, Blaylock was the inspiration for the band Pearl Jam's first name, Mookie Blaylock, before switching to it's current name.
Blaylock finished his NBA career with career averages of 13.5 points per game, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game.

Hey all!
Today's been a bit of an off day here at DP. Google Analytics tells me that all of my stats are way down - hits, views, time on site, and pages visited - from just yesterday! and I'm not sure what the deal is! Bloggers, is this an across-the-board trend? Hopefully things will be back to normal tomorrow.
Anyway, here are today's links!

Thanks for the link! As I said via Twitter, I think the dip might be an across the board thing. Maybe with the end of summer coming people haven't been able to devote as much attention to blogs...I don't know...but hopefully it picks back up!ReplyDelete
It's just so odd - there were an abundance of comments last week, and now, nothing!ReplyDelete
Maybe my comment karma is kicking me in the ass...
From experience, I try not to check my stats on a daily basis. If I sense there's been a drop in comments or general feedback, I might check it at the end of the week. But usually, I just wait to check it at the end of the month.ReplyDelete
Otherwise, I just start freaking out about it and get stressed. Usually, if a dip lasts a month, then I know I need to get on my grind. Otherwise, it's usually something outside of my control and worrying about it is pointless.
Those are my two cents, but y'all can carry on this way if you'd like lol. =)
FSB, that is an excellent point! Unfortunately I'm a little compulsive...ReplyDelete
I'm on Wordpress, so Iduno if that makes a difference, but Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be "down" days. And I agree with the above commenter-- I'm a little compulsive about checking stats too, but I try not to check them until the end of the week. It's a good way to get feedback, but not to let the stats rule my posting habits.ReplyDelete

So I am wondering how to put Jake out for stud! He is AKC/UKC registered,and has all the certifications on hips,and eyes,and I am hoping to find some people in the New England area that are looking for a good solid stud for thier female!
I'm also looking for possible websites or something like that where I can find possible matches for him! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I do plan to screen all possible matches for him,or review the females papers,to make sure there is no relations in thier blood lines! This is all new too me and am just trying to get some ideas on how best to get him out there and possibly a new pup out of him!
Here is a pic of him in action,he is a big boy,91lbs! Large blocky head,and solid!

For those fixated on my Mustang comments: I LIKE the Focus ST, at an appropriate price point. When the OP came in talking about paying $34k is when I made my comment that it was DIW to pay $34k for a Focus instead of the (IMHO) better fast Ford.
The 2013 also has a stack on the hood, and AFAIK, there are no material differences between 2012 and 2013 Mustangs.
So if you're butthurt, grab some Tucks.
If you're not, and just didn't understand

I did the 460 swap in my 63 lincoln covertible.
Yes you will need to box the frame and create mounts. You will also need to refab the tunnel for the C6. I rolled my fire wall and set up to tuck all of my wiring behind the fenders. We moved the engine back 6 inches put a full race radiator with double electric fans. I belive the car handles a bit better but I really did not drive the car much before I started the exchange. My 460 is a 92 with a mild build 500 HP. At the time I was just trying to create a more reliable daily driver. I started it 4 years ago so I added a new Holly commander throttle body fuel injection. It really has not worked so well because it required way to much programing. It was just before the good plug & play units that are out now. I am currently replacing it with a carburator. This swap is not an easy or cheap process and few people have pulled it off. This is why many people talk about it but few pull it off. Just a side note I just saw the movie Hit & Run last night where Dax Shepard drives his 67 Continental with a 700 horse power motor in a car chase. The car is his daily driver. I was pretty impressive to see a 6000 pound car ripping around. It was pretty sweet. If you want more info call me Bruce at 530-409-5178.
1963 Lincoln Continental engine swap
I am putting a 460 C6 into my 1963 Continental. If anyone has done this before or knows someone that has I could use some advice.
1. Did you have to box the front frame rails to make clearance for the stock exhaust manifold?
2. What mounts did you use for both the engine and tranny? Did you fab plates for them?
3. What linkage did you use for the tranny?
4. how was your clearance for the fan? Did you use an electric one?

Hello everyone!
I am an English teacher from Israel. I teach English as a foreign language L2 in 9th grade.
for my students, learning grammar has been very difficult, they just can`t figure it out. Maybe something is wrong with the way I`m teaching it, English is not me L1 as well.
Can you please advise me how to teach grammar in a clear and interesting way? for example the prefect tenses
Thank you

Crystal Fighters - In The Summer
New single. Newer-ish sound. And Crystal Fighters swoop into my June listenings with a wash of anticipation for their new album, which is tentatively set for a September 13 release.
The Spanish five-piece is a little out there, and frankly, that's what I really enjoy about their sound. It's like a nursery rhyme in hell with lullabic tones and whispers of electro dust and lit soundscapes.
Freaky emotronic folk, if you will.
In The Summer is the new single (stream it here or download it at this link) and will come with a pack of remixes from Telepathe, dBridge, Sepalcure, Shortstuff, Canblaster and Tek One, in the next few weeks.

Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
Hello there guys,
Had my fluids changed today, since I got paranoid with all this talk about what is, or might be, best to do. It was not an inexpensive deal, though. I had engine, tranny (auto) and rear end changed. Total was $540.39.
Of course, I'm now good for many worry free miles on tranny and rear end. I made sure they didn't reset my "oil change indicator" since my Normal oil changes are included in my "care package"..... this way I'll get one
more early change out of the deal and my engine should be void of any excessive metal particles from my break in period.
It would have been much less without the tranny flush, but it did give me some more peace of mind to change all the fluids. Because of the warning in this thread, I had the dealer check the rear end shortly after getting
the car and it was fine....
I watched them check it by topping it off. It took maybe an ounce or two.

Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
I mentioned this to the woman who got us in to see our car built. I emailed to ask her if the fluid was checked in the full audit I got. Her reply:
The differential fluid is not checked at the plant. It comes to us prefilled.
Thank you for the heads up on the potential issue. I forwarded your note onto our warranty group and they are investigating it through research in the warranty database. We have also contacted our brand quality manager to determine if differential fluid is checked at the dealer (delivery inspection check). You can always ask the dealer about your concern.
Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
any oil with the GM4718M spec on the label (probably back label) will be just fine ... let's not start an oil war

Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
taking possession of 2012 V sedan in 2 weeks. Do i have the fluids checked prior to taking delivery, or do i drive approximately 700 miles and then take it to the dealer to check levels. By the way, someone was saying that they had the fluids changed it cost almost $550. Is this not something that would be covered under the warranty? Maybe i am thinking that topping off should be covered, but not a full flush and refill. Anyway, appreciate this info. Sold my 04 CTSV and thought i would never let it go, until i test drove the 2012 - iyiyiy.
Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
topping off to correct levels should be covered by the warranty ... drain and refill is not in the service recommendations so it would not be covered (for no reason)
Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
I always change all fluids (excluding brake fluid) at about 500 miles in order to flush out any manufacturing debris. Some metal particles and once in awhile, some malitious intententional contamination needs purging.
And.... I always check post-flush for correct fluid levels following the 500-mile fluid replacement. One time, the manual transmission oil level was a half-quart low - Dealer mechanic trying to make an extra $25.00 by not installing the full design fill of expensive mineral oil. I actually (really did) encountered a mechanic that did not know how to change the rear differential oil. On my Jeep, there is no drain plug; one must open the Differential "pumpkin" to drain the oil. Of course, the gasket will have to be replaced. For some reason there is only an upper fill plug.
Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
and how is a dealer tech going to make money by not filling your fluid to the correct level? techs can't turn parts (especially fluids) into cash very easily
first, it's a BIG BIG no-no ... first offense is grounds for termination at our shop
did they charge you for the correct amount of fluid but leave a quart low?
so you suspect the tech kept the extra bottle and then sold it back to the dealer to be used on another car?
i've heard of techs doing stuff like that to get fluids for their personal cars (saving themselves money) - still just as big of a no-no
but i've never heard of them selling the fluids to make some cash
unethical people are everywhere ... that's why trust is such a big factor in choosing who to do business with (especially in a service oriented industries like automotive, finance and hospitality)
Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
The diff is covered under the TSB if you get a clunk, "chatter" or howling.
#10-04-20-001B: Rear Axle Clunk and/or Chatter Type Noise on Turns (Drain/Refill Rear Differential Fluid) - (Apr 21, 2010)
Subject: Rear Axle Clunk and/or Chatter Type Noise on Turns (Drain/Refill Rear Differential Fluid)
Models: 2003-2010 Cadillac CTS, Sport Wagon (Including V-Series and Export)
2004-2009 Cadillac SRX (Including Export)
2005-2010 Cadillac STS (Including V-Series and Export)
Equipped with Limited Slip Differential (RPO G80)
Some customers may comment on a clunk and/or chatter type noise from the rear of the vehicle while making turns.
This condition may be worse on vehicles built prior to the 2008 model year. Carbon-faced clutch plates were introduced into production in the 2008 model year and have decreased the likelihood of the clutch plate chatter.
This condition may be caused by slip/stick of the posi-traction clutch plates due to insufficient limited-slip axle additive. As plates slip and stick, a jumping or jerking feel occurs accompanied by a clunk noise.
Important: DO NOT remove the differential cover. It is not necessary to flush the old fluid from the differential.
Drain and refill the rear differential with fluid, GM P/N 88862624 (in Canada, 88862625). Refer to the Axle Lubricant Change procedure in SI.
This fluid includes a friction modifier already added with a different formulation that lasts longer and does not break down over time.

Re: Must Read All New CTS-V Owners !!
A little confused by this topic.
Was under the impression that the full service warranty on 2011 and up Caddies covered all of these items.
If your fluids are wrong, isn't that on GM/Cadillac?
Was certainly my impression when I went to the 2011 model year.

S10 frame
Thanks for the feedback. I will do as you suggest for now, and gather up all the info I can find, and try to make a decision. I don't really want to "clip" the car though. I though I would see if the whole complete frame swap would be a viable option.
|The con to an S10 clip is the steering box usually sticks out too far in front for the sheet metal body.You will have to check your car as every one is different. Measure from the front axle centerline to the front of the steering box on the S10 and compare to your car. If it will clear the body it is the cheapest way to go.Hope this helps.We did it on a 40 Dodge and I had to cheat a little on the wheel base but it worked out.
New street rod project
Hello all, I just bought a project car. It's a 1941 chev coupe roller, with a pretty rusty floor, and rather straight outside body sheet metal. I'm trying to put together a build plan for this car, and am asking for your input. I am very good with all the usuall body and fender tools, and procedures. I have a shop with a lift, plasma cutter, torch, and mig welder. I'v done a lot of classic cars, but never really a fabriactaed hor rod before. Seems to me this car needs a lot, but I belive it all should be based on the drive line and suspension. I have a 1979 Corvette small block, a 12 bolt posi (already in the car) But the car needs all the suspension redone. I have been reading a lot about the MII verses the S-10 swap. What are the pros and cons of the two? What about the "clip option? Thanks for any advice. The work is one thing, the money these days is another. But, I want the car to be right, in the end. You guys have done these beforew. What's really the best way to go? I have access to a salvage action where I can buy just about anything in the way of complete cars, trucks, ect.

text: RICHMOND, Va., April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In its 11 th year, the Genworth (NYSE: GNW) 2014 Cost of Care Survey shows the cost to receive long term care services at home in Colorado through a home health aide increased over the past five years. On a national level, the survey shows a dramatic increase in facility based care, such as an assisted living facility or nursing home, while the cost to receive care at home through homemaker services or a home health aide is rising at a moderate growth rate. This is good news for consumers as almost three quarters of people needing long term care prefer receiving it in their homes, according to Genworth's extensive claims data (Long term care claims Experience Data for Genworth Life Insurance Company and affiliates – December 1974-June 30, 2013). "Over the past 40 years, Genworth has worked hard to educate today's families on the need to plan for the significant financial risk that long term care could impose on them," said Tom McInerney, Genworth president and chief executive officer. "With the number of Americans over 65 projected to double over the next 40 years, continued increases in the cost of care and limited public financing options available to cover these costs, long term care is one of the most important social issues of our time." The Cost of Long Term Care Nationally, the 2014 median hourly cost for the services of a homemaker or home health aide hired from a home care agency is $19 and $19.75 respectively. Homemaker costs nationally have risen annually 1.2 percent on average over the past five years and home health aide services have risen, on average, 1.32 percent annually over the past five years. In Colorado, the median hourly cost of homemaker services is $21 and the median hourly cost of home health aide services is $22. The median hourly cost for homemaker services in Colorado has increased 1.9 percent annually over the past five years, and the hourly cost of home health aide services has increased 1.9 percent over the same period of time. By comparison, the median annual cost for care in an assisted living facility is $42,000 nationally and $39,750 in Colorado. The national yearly cost of assisted living has increased 4.29 percent annually over the past five years and increased 2.0 percent over the same time period in Colorado. The comparable cost for a private nursing home room rose 4.19 percent annualized over the past five years to $87,600 nationally, and increased 3.8 percent over the past five years to $91,980 in Colorado. Bob Bua, Genworth vice president and business leader of its wholly owned subsidiary, CareScout, explains, "Since we first launched this study, we have seen long term care costs march higher year after year. If you live to 65, there is a 70 percent chance you will need some form of long term care services so creating a sound financial plan for managing future long term care costs is very important." Drivers of Rising Long Term Care Costs Long term care costs are being driven up by a combination of economic and market factors. As a result, these associated costs are being passed along to consumers.

Ice Sheets and Sea Level Rise: Model Failure is the Key Issue
We might also look to our experience with GCMs for some guidance as to how to evaluate the situation while we await an improved basis for numerical projection. GCMs are anchored in a broader range of observations than are ice sheet models at both the process and synoptic levels. But what would we do today if GCMs had failed several critical tests? With the climate already changing, we would likely not throw up our hands and say "let's come back and reassess the situation once our numerical tools have improved". More likely, we would increase our attention to paleoclimate analogs, a standard test bed for, and complement to, numerical modeling.
With the ice sheets already changing, the importance of analogs has come sharply into focus. Inferences from Eemian climate and sea level yield a wide range of estimates with regard to the climate changes that might result in widespread deglaciation of either or both ice sheets. Polar warming less than 5ºC (Overpeck et al, 2006) and global mean warming of 1ºC (Hansen 2004) or 2ºC (Oppenheimer and Alley, 2005) above recent temperature have been cited. Such global mean warming would almost certainly occur during this century, given forcing within the range of IPCC scenarios. In the southern hemisphere, the requisite circumpolar warming may occur more gradually, but a northern hemisphere trigger for WAIS deglaciation during the Eemian has also been proposed (Overpeck et al 2006). The information on potential rates of deglaciation is extremely sparse and its relevance to the future unclear. Potential rates of sea level rise equivalent to 1m/century (10mm/yr) have been suggested based on paleoclimate analogs (Overpeck et al, 2006) and by comparison to current ice discharge from West Antarctica (Oppenheimer 1998).
Filing the gap in knowledge between the risk (a significant probability of many meters of sea level rise) and the current reality (rapid local ice responses to local warming but small aggregate effect on sea level rise so far) will require a sharpened focus on all three fronts: observations, modeling, and paleoclimate assessment. Currently, the resources to do any one of these at the appropriate level are lacking. And because greenhouse gas concentrations and ice sheet loss are effectively irreversible, policy decisions need to be made based on the information in hand, which argues that deglaciation could be triggered by a modest warming.

Yamaha rolled out its Star Motorcycles line in 2005 to help brand its cruisers separately from its sportbikes and dirt bikes. For 2013 Yamaha offers three models in the chopper-like Raider family, one of them, the Raider SCL, brand new for 2013.
Raider SCL
To give customizers a head start, Yamaha introduced the Star Custom Line of factory custom bikes for the 2012 model year with the Raider SCL. Bearing the same name, but all new for 2013, is the extremely limited edition Raider SCL. To call the Raider SCL a limited edition model is something of an understatement; Yamaha will produce only 500 of the performance cruisers.
The first thing to catch your eye on the 2013 Raider SCL is the exquisite paint job. Yamaha developed a new Crimson Red paint especially for this model. Skilled craftsmen hand paint each of the 500 models, accenting the rich red with Intense Black.
A two-tone genuine leather seat adds to the custom looks of the Raider SCL. The seat features an embroidered SCL logo with matching beige stitching and crocodile-pattern embossing. Yamaha claims that each seat will age uniquely, giving it its own sense of character so that no two Raider SCL models will look alike.
Each fuel tank gets an exclusive SCL badge attached to its top. The metal badge serves to remind every Raider SCL owner that there are only another 499 models in existence. Yamaha teamed with Performance Machine to develop custom five-spoke chrome wheels with matching chrome pulley and chrome belt guard. The custom look extends to the stainless steel mesh throttle cables and brake and clutch lines on the Raider SCL.
With the first ever six-degree yoke angle on a street-legal Star, the Raider SCL has a chopper inspired look with neutral handling. A 33-degree rake angle combined with the six-degree yoke produces a total rake of 39 degrees with 102 mm of trail. The solo rear shock is hidden from view, giving the Raider SCL a classic hardtail look.
An air-cooled, fuel-injected, 1,854 cc, 16-valve, OHV, 48-degree V-Twin with a compression ratio of 9.5:1 powers the 2013 Star Raider SCL. Each valve is pushrod activated and has two spark plugs for maximum combustion efficiency. Each cylinder has ceramic-composite plating for increased heat dissipation and the forged pistons are cooled by oiled jets to increase reliability and the life expectancy of he power plant. The edges of the cooling fins are custom machined to enhance the beauty of the engine.
Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a five-speed transmission and belt final drive. The clutch on the 2013 Raider SCL is lighter than on the 2012 model, taking 20 percent less effort to operate.
The 46 mm, telescopic front forks provide 5.1 inches of travel while the solo rear shock has 3.5 inches of travel. The front brake lever is integrated into the master cylinder and operates two 298 mm front discs with monoblock calipers. In the rear is a single 310 mm disc.
A tank-mounted instrument cluster includes analog speedometer and fuel gauge plus digital dual tripmeters, odometer and self diagnostics.
That custom, two-tone leather seat is a comfortable 27.4 inches off the ground. Ground clearance is 5.7 inches and the wheelbase is a stretched out 70.9 inches. Ready to ride the Raider SCL weighs in at a hefty 750 pounds. It'll hold 4.2 gallons of fuel and gets 42 mpg for a range of about 175 miles between fill ups. Yamaha gives the bike a one-year limited factory warranty. Base MSRP on the 2013 Raider SCL is $19,990. You should be able to found the Raider SCL in showrooms in December 2012.
Raider S
The Raider S provided the basic canvas that the Raider SCL was painted on. It may not have all of the custom features of the SCL, but the Raider S is great looking, easy handling, factory custom in its own right.
A cast aluminum, double-cradle frame is light weight but manages to provide a balance between rigidity and strength. Open space under and behind the steering head adds to the chopper styling of the Raider S. The bike has the same unique six-degree yoke angle as the SCL, providing a combined 39-degree rake angle with 102 mm of trail. That combination counters the tendency of other raked-out front end bikes to be heavy steering.
The Raider S sports plenty of chrome. Triple clamps, fork sliders, air box and engine covers, headlight housing and handlebar risers are among the chrome features. Pullback handlebars, low slung seat, fat rear tire and hidden rear shock all add to the custom performance cruiser looks of the Raider S.
The engine on the Raider S is an air-cooled, fuel-injected, eight valve, OHV, 48-degree V-Twin with a compression ratio of 9.5:1. Torque is boosted through the midrange of the powerband by the two-into-one-into-two exhaust with Yamaha's Exhaust Ultimate Power valve.
Suspension is provided by a 46 mm telescopic front fork with 5.1 inches of travel and an adjustable solo rear shock has 3.5 inches of travel. The front brake master cylinder has an integrated lever controlling the dual 298 mm front discs with monoblock calipers. In the rear there's a single 310 mm disc brake.
The sculpted rider's seat sits 27.4 inches off the ground. Wheelbase is 70.9 inches and the wet weight is 730 pounds. Fuel capacity is 4.2 gallons and the Raider gets a claimed 42 mpg. It comes with Yamaha's standard one-year limited factory warranty. Color options are Candy Red or Pearl White. Base MSRP on the 2013 Yamaha Raider S is $15,690. This bike should be on your local dealer's showroom floor now.
Inspired by custom choppers, the base model of the Raider family is also the dark horse, sporting plenty of blacked-out styling cues and less chrome than the other models in the line. The headlight shell and body, turn signal bodies, lower fork legs and handlebar clamps, all black. Also blacked-out on the Raider are the upper and lower triple clamps, handlebar switches, front brake calipers and the clutch and brake master cylinders. Wheel accents are black and brushed aluminum and the engine covers are black with some chrome accents.
The same air-cooled, fuel-injected, 1,854 cc, eight valve, OHV, 48-degree V-Twin with a compression ratio of 9.5:1 that powers the other models is on the 2013 Raider. A hidden, adjustable rear shock has 3.5 inches of travel and the 46 mm, telescopic front fork has 5.1 inches of travel. Front brakes are dual 298 mm hydraulic discs and the rear brake is single 310 mm disc.
Seat height on the Raider is 27.4 inches, wheelbase is 70.9 inches. The Raider has a ready-to-ride weight of 730 pounds, a 4.2 gallon fuel capacity and gets 42 mpg. The Raider is available in Raven (what else for this blacked-out custom?) and comes with a one-year limited factory warranty. The 2013 Yamaha Raider has a base MSRP of $14,890 and is available now.

Senior Ryan Bohrer and sophomore Stephen Miller of the Canisius College hockey team were both honored as Atlantic Hockey Scholar Athlete of the Year for the second time during their career, announced by the league on Monday.
Overall, a school-record 23 Griffs were recognized on the Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team – four more than the previous school standard set during each of the last two seasons.
Both Boher and Miller posted a perfect 4.0 grade point average to collect the league's top academic honor for the second time during their career. Bohrer also earned the accolade during the 2011-12 campaign, while Miller was named Scholar Athlete of the Year last season. It marks the sixth time in the last nine years that a Griff has collected the honor and the first time that a Canisius student-athlete has earned the accolade twice.
Bohrer and classmates Kyle Gibbons and Taylor Law were each named to the Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team for the fourth time during their career.
Seniors Tony Capobianco and Patrick Sullivan and juniors Cody Freeman, Matthew Grazen, Doug Jessey, Carl Larsson, Mitch McCrank and Tyler Wiseman all collected the honor for the third time with Miller, senior Ben Danford, juniors Stephen Farrell, Logan Roe and Braeden Rigney and sophomores Adam Harris and Chris Rumble earning the accolade for a second time.
Sophomore Ralph Cuddemi and freshmen Shane Conacher, Geoff Fortman, Jack Hidi and Josh Kielich were named to the all-academic team for the first time.
To qualify for the Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team, an individual must post a 3.0 grade point average or higher in each academic semester during the 2013-14 year.
The Griffs have advanced to the Atlantic Hockey Championship in each of the last two seasons, winning the program's first title in 2013. Canisius is now set to enter a new era this season when it begins play at the HARBORCENTER – a $172 million multipurpose hockey and entertainment complex that sits directly across from the First Niagara Center.

Franklin Tabbed to Lead Green Bay Volleyball Program
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Michaela Franklin has been named the head coach of the Green Bay volleyball program, Director of Athletics Ken Bothof announced on Tuesday. Franklin takes over the program after spending the past four seasons as an assistant coach at Marquette.
"First, I would like to thank Ken Bothof and the entire hiring committee for their time and dedication," said Franklin. "I am ecstatic for the opportunity of becoming the next leader of the Green Bay volleyball program. As I went through the process, it was made very clear to me that everyone at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has the same passion, intensity and drive as I do in assisting the student-athletes in being successful both academically and athletically. I look forward to competing in the Kress Center, one of the nation's premier athletics facilities."
During Franklin's time at Marquette, she helped the Golden Eagles to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in 2011 and 2012 while also serving as the recruiting coordinator. Franklin assisted Marquette to a 27-7 record in 2012, including a 13-2 mark and a second place finish in the BIG EAST Conference. She also trained the outside hitters and worked as the program's defensive coordinator. Prior to Marquette, Franklin was an assistant coach at Northern Illinois from 2006-08.
A native of Lincoln, Neb., Franklin played her collegiate volleyball at Kansas State University, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in family studies and human services in 2005. While at KSU, Franklin helped the Wildcats capture a Big XII Championship and win four matches in three NCAA Tournament appearances.
"Michaela brings a passion for the sport of volleyball and the well-being of student-athletes that is extremely important to our program," said Bothof. "That quality as well as her experience recruiting successful student-athletes from the Midwest, and, in particular the state of Wisconsin, make her a perfect fit to the be head volleyball coach at Green Bay."
Franklin takes the reins of the program from Debbie Kirch, who resigned from the position after 16 seasons in November to take an Assistant AD role in the athletics department and will serve as the sport supervisor for the program.
"We are excited to have Michaela join our staff," said Kirch. "I truly appreciate the professionalism and passion for the sport of volleyball that she displayed throughout the search and screen process. She is going to be a great fit, not only for our volleyball program and athletics department, but for our University as well."
In her first season with the Phoenix, Franklin will welcome back senior setter Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.), a group of four senior hitters which combined for 952 kills in 2012 and three other letterwinners.

time to save $$
Alex can you post a pic of a FPH beside the new FPH2..
Last edited by Sixxgunn13; Nov 14, 2009 at 7:03 PM.
Can't wait to see what other pics you got up your sleeve there buddy ! Very nice
I'm actually working on a few pics of my own with the new bits and pieces that will go with this helmet (unpictured) that didn't make it's way to Alex with the helmet. I'm thinking the bit and pieces are better than the helmet But it will be a couple of days, so post more if ya got 'em !
For now, I only have a pic of the master. But it's gray so you can see a little more detail I think.
I'll be officially announcing this with another little surprise or two that may be of interest in a couple of days as well. Hint: just think ... "Supertrooper". And it sort of all does fit together with this
I wanted to announce this much sooner, but I had a lot to do to get this all to come to life. I've been in R&D hell for 2 weeks over the final stages of the extra bits (the helmet was done weeks ago and made it's way to Fan Days somehow? ). Which of course created delays for members unfortunately. A huge thanks in advance to all of those members - they'll be seeing this thread soon <embarrassed>
Manuel, I got your messages today buddy. PM coming soon
Sixx - This is just Fett
Thanks for the comps guys :thumbup
I feel so....... dirty.
Looks like their may be a FPH2 in my future spendings.
Chris, you're a bad, bad man. :thumbup
A few more shots, and a few as compared to the FPH.
And as far as the name "FPH2" ??? Naah.. I would see if there's a better name we can come up with, seeing as how it's a perfect proto-type.
Looks like Christmas is coming early. Haven't even gotten my first bucket done and looks like I'll be in the market for a second....Can't wait to see what's to come....
Great looking helmet, FP. Looks very special indeed.
Did someone say "PayPal" ?
Chris & Alex thax for the new pics. I can't wait to pick one up!!
Now, will I make this one in to another ESB and make my FPH#26 into a ROTJ..
Alex what about those sweet stands you have pictured.
And Chris that "logo" would look sweet glued to the inside of the helmet.
Last edited by Sixxgunn13; Nov 15, 2009 at 1:34 AM.
part of me really wants to get this and be the first one to paint it rotj.
Amazing job! Must have been a pain to get those details so crisp...
It appears that this new one is smaller, is it? hope so.
Also - will there be an option with out the ear pieces? I would love to have a smaller option of helmets, but I would also like to utilise my aluminum ears.
thanks guys.
Ohh! and it looks beautiful!
Thanks everyone :thumbup
FPH2 ?? For some reason I didn't even catch that. I don't know what to call this thing
Sixx - Actually, you hit it right on the head bro - there actually will be a little plaque inside the helmet
As I've eluded to in other threads recently though, this isn't meant to overshadow my FPH. The FPH is very dear to me - and might I add, will be officially living on in the care of one of our very own soon (TBA). I really don't consider this new helmet better. Just, different. The FPH is in a specific genre and was designed to mimic the ESB/AoSW exhibit. And, the FPH is still a little larger for those members here that may need that little bit extra. I will of course post more info when it all goes up official, but I just want to make sure people understand that this this new helmet is just - Boba Fett
The short answer - Yes. All will be revealed soon. Lots, and lots of cool new stuff
Thanks for posting some more up Alex !

Chat with Children: Talk, Listen and Learn
April 29, 2012 at 8:00 am amy mascott 1 comment
This educational activity is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Amy Mascott.
What better way to chat with children than while their hands are busy crafting? –Amy
It's easy to forget that time with our kids–even if it's just sitting next to them as kids are crafting or snacking–can be time well-spent as long as we're present. As long as we are really, 100% with the child and not texting, chatting on the phone or watching TV.
Talk. Have a conversation with your child. Make observations, share stories about your childhood and your memories, share your dreams.
Kids want to know all about the adults in their lives. They love putting the pieces of the parent-puzzle together; they want to know what life was like when we were kids. They want to know how they are similar–and different–from the people they most love and trust. They also need to hear how you use words to learn about the structure and nuances of language.
Listen. As important as it is for us to talk through experiences with our children, it's equally important for us to listen during playtime, giving children breaks in our running dialogue so they can interject, add their ideas and engage in conversation with us.
Encourage your child to talk by demonstrating good listening skills: Acknowledge her words, even with just a nod; be patient if she stutters or is slow to form her thoughts; ask questions to help her expand on her thoughts and show that you're listening.
Learn. As you converse with and listen to your child, learn about the child's interests, strengths, weaknesses, dreams and fears. Remember them.
Learn about his friends and teachers. Observe what letters he recognizes, words he can read, numbers he can write and the skills that he possesses.
Watch her fingers move, her attention to direction, her use of creativity.
And before you know it, talking, listening and learning will become natural, meaningful time spent together. With a few fun crafts to show for it.
Hang with Amy over at teachmama.com for more cool, super-sneaky ways to throw in some learning in the name of fun or join her at we teach–a forum for parents and teachers to connect, share ideas and grow–no matter the classroom. Or tweet with her (@teachmama), pin with her or chat with her on Facebook!

Jeans. Usually of the cheap $10-20 walmart/other retailer variety.
My favorite pair of jeans I've had for almost a decade now and they're full of holes, a few broken belt loops, extremely light blue from being worn/washed for so many years... but they fit perfectly. Pretty sure I got them on sale for $9 at walmart.
Or sometimes pajama pants.
But normally, if I'm not wearing something like these:
You'll find me in jeans.

le jeans.
normally something like:
Men wear Carhartts
Play hard. Play smart. Win.
Work hard. Live smart. Prosper.
Skinny jeans for the lads.
When the weather is warm enough starting about this time of year I start rocking my East Bay cheap basketball shorts. Pants suck.
I have a thing I do where I buy like 4 pairs of one style and then feel like a scumbag because all my pants are identical and makes me feel like I haven't changed them. I have a drawer of all the same jeans which I'll wear until they're ruined. And probably a little longer.
