The handling on the Suburban is nice--- but it doesn't corner as good as a stock vehicle or one with a simple leveling kit. The Tahoe has a shorter wheel base and IMO would have different effects from a lift 4inches or greater.
My brother in law has an 08 Tahoe and all he did was put some different wheels and tires and it looks and handles great plus no power loss--- it still hauls the mail.
Thanks.. How does the burb handle with the lift? Is it fun to drive at all? Thinking about a gmt900 tahoe and want to do about a 4" lift.
Hey Scott:
Ah! you have a great mindset---FYI Scott and his father co-own a beautiful Howard Sportdeck.
Well the diesel at least gets 3 miles to the gallon more per mile. The mileage and fuel consumption is nothing compared to the boat.
Anyway wouldn't trade it for anything else. It was great seeing you and your dad at the show you both are ambassadors for Howard and the boating community.
We will see you at Desert Storm.
Very truly yours,
Nice truck John! Love my 8.1 ltr suburban except for the gas. If I had bought a duramax like I should have...whoa.....it's frickin expensive filling it up now...

The ride is superb and very comfortable we have the auto level feature and I must say it does the job nicely.
It also has a Amp Power Step and intake.
The Suburban is a beast with the 8.1 litre big block and carries the whole family. I just wish it had the tow mirrors and better gas mileage. If Chevy would only make the Suburban in a Duramax Diesel they would have a sure fire winner.
What lift/tire setup is on the Suburban?
heres a bigger pic of mine...
2007 2500 HD Duramax LT2 4x2
6" CST lift, 35" Toyo Mudds, 20" Diamo Rims, Amp Steps, Chrome Handles
got the 2008 2500hd duramax/allison combo. love the truck too could not be happier
That Big Duramax looks great pulling that beautiful Howard SportDeck John. Great seeing you at the show. Hope to hook up with you at Desert Storm.

Those photos are not the best but Rivertrash prompted me to post up some photos. He has a smokin ride in his signature line a 4x2 model--- talk about towing power a 4x2 pulls harder than any 4x4 with the same load. He can probably light them up.
Very truly yours,
KAP Cool, I will look for ya!

The Suburban/8.1litre 4x4 is also a tow rig when the entire family is aboard.
Rivertrash---the above photo should look familiar.
New2cats--- this post should have gone in your prior one ie... lets get it started better late than never.
Very truly yours,
REALLY nice truck Kap. I will take some truck/boat pix over Easter in Havi. Are you there that week??
Thanks Dennis and Highflyer: Highflyer thanks for the compliments. I was in Havasu Wed and Thurs that might have been when you seen the rig. Wednesday was blowing 40mph winds, white caps and swells on the lake [No we were not on the water until Thursday.] Dennis I sent you a PM--- now all you need is a Howard behind that awesome truck. The truck really cooks even with the boat behind it people give you that look when you pass them on the highway. Your little rocket sled is childs play you won't even know it's on the back of the truck.
That Duramax has some serious power and torque it also has a manual shift mode that makes it pull like a standard transmission power on demand. Thus, far I'm impressed with the power.
We had a Powerstroke prior to the Silverado and it was weak in the power department. The Ford did have a larger bed for a short bed model and larger interior room. However, the power curve definitely favors the Chevy by a substantial margin. I also drove the twin turbo Ford and the Chevy smoked it in acceleration and power delivery across the rpm range.
We are quite happy with both vehicles the real test is when we turn over 100K plus in mileage. I hope we will be just as happy with the reliablity and power of the vehicles.
P.S. Now if only the oil companies stopped gouging us for Diesel---yea! I know it's a pipe dream.
I think I saw that setup this morning in havasu. If it is the same one, It is a very nice setup! I love those howards and the chevys.

Try to do a little of both.Add a LITTLE more food to your diet,like a granola bar before working out,then go and lift weights/use an elliptical.I prefer the elliptical as it can give you both a leg,upper body,and arm workout at the same time.But it will make you tired as fuck fast.
For gaining strength and loosing weight this is perfect because the extra calories you eat are burned in your weightlifting so you can continue with loosing weight, but gaining mass and loosing fat at the same time is very slow and hard to do. I'd recommend that he does a clean bulk: 300-400 calorie surplus. It's slower than eating 700-800 calories over your BMR but you gain more lean mass. Also measure your BF% before bulking, the scale means nothing because you could gain back most of your lost weight but 1/6 of the BF.
Also read some of the bodybuilding.com forum stickies. Take all the advice except all the supplement crap and advice on what workouts to do (some recommend workouts that are clearly designed around advanced body builders). The only supplement you should be taking is protein and if you think your old enough for it, creatine.

Posted 25 September 2009 - 11:59 AM
Is anybody using any of these services (Backblaze vs Mozy vs Carbonite vs Jungle Disk)? How would you rate them and what are your experiences?
Although I have a pretty solid backup solution at home, the thought of an online solution is comforting. I need to back-up a little over 1 terabyte of data. I know the initial back-up will take a while, after it's uploaded it will only be incremental.
Any idea's/suggestions are welcome. Thanks!!!

Summer is so long, let's chat while we wait for snow !
Hey everyone, just a quick post to say hi to all you guys.
I'm a 24years old guy from Quebec,Canada and i been skiing since i'm 5 . I had the chance to live my whole childhood 20min away from a nice 50ish slopes mountain and had saturday ski class from 5 to 10 . I switched to snowboard back in ~97' when i was 10, took snowboard lessons for a year . I still remember my first board, it was a Sin board and fix combo, pretty cheap stuff, then moved to a Salomon Fs 157 wich i still have collecting dust arround lol . Anyway, i consider myself a pretty good rider in the slopes but i haven't touch the park, ever. At the end of last winter i decided i wanted to update my stuff and learn and get serious with the park and jibing .
My brand new setup for this year will be a 2011 DC PBJ 159W along with 2011 Burton c60 L/XL bindings. I know this is a really soft board but i intend to spend 70% of my time on the mountain in the park. I'm a little concerned the bindings might be a little too stiff for park riding, we'll see. Let me know if you prefer soft or stiff bindings. I'm gonna need to look into boots too because mine are way too used, gonna look for the softest boots i can find for my foot size (13).
Hope i didn't annoy you with my story but i just wanted to introduce myself since i been visiting the forum for a while and im so bored waiting for summer to end and get back on the slopes !
Cheers everyone

In its first five years of existence, The Perl Journal (TPJ) became the voice of the Perl community. Every serious Perl programmer subscribed to it, and every notable Perl guru jumped at the opportunity to write for it. TPJ explained critical Perl topics and demonstrated Perl's utility for fields as diverse as astronomy, biology, economics, AI, and games. Back issues were hoarded, or swapped like trading cards. No longer in print format, The Perl Journal remains a proud and timeless achievement of Perl during one of its most exciting periods of development.
Web, Graphics & Perl/Tk is the second volume of The Best of the Perl Journal, compiled and re-edited by the original editor and publisher of The Perl Journal, Jon Orwant. In this series, we've taken the very best (and still relevant) articles published in TPJ over its five years of publication and immortalized them into three volumes.
The forty articles included in this volume are simply some of the best Perl articles ever written on the subjects of graphics, the Web, and Perl/Tk, by some of the best Perl authors and coders.
Much of Perl's success is due to its capabilities for developing web sites; the Web section covers popular topics such as CGI programs, mod_perl, spidering, HTML parsing, security, and content management. The Graphics section is a grab bag of techniques, ranging from simple graph generation to ray tracing and real-time video digitizing. The Perl/Tk section shows you how to use the popular Perl/Tk toolkit for developing graphical applications that work on both Unix/Linux and Windows without a single change.
Written by twenty-three of the most prominent and prolific members of the closely-knit Perl community, including Lincoln Stein, Mark-Jason Dominus, Alligator Descartes, and Dan Brian, this anthology does what no other book can, giving unique insight into the real-life applications and powerful techniques made possible by Perl.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Web, Graphics, and Perl/Tk: Best of the Perl Journal is an emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae). This large, flightless bird is found throughout the Australian bush steppes. The emu is one of the largest birds in existence, second only to its cousin, the ostrich. Adult emus stand about 5 feet high and weigh up to 120 pounds. The grayish-brown emu's small wings contain only six or seven feathers. They are hidden by the long, hairlike rump plumage. Emus have extremely long legs, which they use as defensive and offensive weapons when fighting. A human limb can be broken by a kick from an emu. Their powerful legs make emus strong swimmers and fast runners; they can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.Male emus, which are slightly smaller than females, tend to the incubation of eggs and the raising of the young. An emu nest contains as many as fifteen to twenty-five deep green eggs, laid by several hens. Incubation of the eggs takes from twenty-five to sixty days. The large discrepancy in incubation time occurs because the male needs to leave the nest periodically to find food and drink. The length of time he is away affects the time for incubation. Newly hatched emus weigh about 15 ounces. They are fully grown at two to three years.The relationship between emus and Australian farmers has always been adversarial; three coastal subspecies of emu have been exterminated. Because emus can jump over high fences, it is difficult to keep them out of fields, where they eat and trample crops. In the arid Australian bush, emus also compete with cattle and sheep for grass and water. On the other hand, emus eat many insects that would otherwise eat crops. In 1932, Australian farmers declared war on the emus, making an all-out effort to eradicate them. Fortunately, the effort failed. The battle between emus and farmers continues to this day. Colleen Gorman was the production editor and the copyeditor for Web, Graphics, and Perl/Tk: Best of the Perl Journal. Claire Cloutier, Genevieve d'Entremont, and Jane Ellin provided quality control. Tom Dinse wrote the index.Hanna Dyer and Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from Johnson's Natural History II. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with Quark-XPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. Erik Ray, Mike Sierra, and Neil Walls converted the files from pod to FrameMaker 5.5.6. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Clairemarie Fisher O'Leary.

Comments about oreilly Web, Graphics & Perl/Tk Programming:
The articles are generally well-written. They give decent insight into the world of web and graphics programming. But one problem with any book about a dynamic systems such as the many tools used in conjunction with Perl and Tk is that the information becomes stale very quickly.There is a neat article about using Perl with the GIMP to create custom logos - a problem that I was faced with. However, the article was written using GIMP 1.1 or earlier. The current version at the time of this review is 2.6 - so the information was not exactly helpful.I would say that this book is helpful in at least getting the reader into the mindset of programming - it falls short of being a useful learning aid.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What should the distance be from the backplate to the backside of the jp? Should the JP be flushed up against the back so the rocket goes straight back, or leaning back a little???
Printable View
What should the distance be from the backplate to the backside of the jp? Should the JP be flushed up against the back so the rocket goes straight back, or leaning back a little???
I beleive the bottom of the pack goes flush.While the top leans back A bit.So if you are eiwing it from the side it is strait up and down.Remember to duck,when going thru doors.
I'll keep that in mind when I build my harness, so it could lean back a little. Remember, according to comments and pics, that if it's flush to your back, the rocket will be touching and scratching your helmet as well, which will be annoying after a litte while.
I would get it as close to the backplate as possible at both the top and the bottom. If you let it lean backwards, it will just sway from side-to-side as you walk (trust me on this) which will cause you to wear the paint off of your backplate. Mine sits as tight as I can get it, and the rocket does not hit my helmet.
Thanks for the note BobaFetish! :)
Ok, I am all ready to seal my MB JP. I have been glueing "L" brackets around the perimeter. I was planning to use GOOP as the adhesive and then 2-part epoxy to fill in the seal around the edge. I am very nervous about the back being that the straps< I am sure, are going to put some pressure when the JP hangs. And I don't want the seal to start to crack.
Any advise wouyld be greatly appreciated.
What are the straps going to? If you put a frame inside and are going to strap to that you won't have a problem since all the weight will be beared by the frame.On my first jet pack when I used the "L" brackets to close up the back I used 3/16" aluminum pop rivets into the holes on my "L" brackets since the holes were a perfect 3/16".Seeing the rivet heads wasn't too bad considering with the frame,and rivets that thing was strong as heck. :) I wanted to avoid the same thing with the seam cracking under any pressure.
Steve, you got a pic of the back of your JP?
Yeah, I have a PVC pipe fram inside. What did you use the fill the outer seam?
Unfortunately I don't have any pics as I sold it for my third jet pack...........an RA fiberglass which was all done,and closed up when it came.
For filling in the gaps on the one in question I used bondo since my seam wasn't too bad.It just took mostly time and patience......oh and a couple of cans of filler primer for that glass smooth finish ;) I start all my paintable props with that stuff.
Thanks Steve,
What is Filler Primer? How did you pop rivet with the back on???
Filler primer is a "plasti-cote" spray primer that is extra thick when applied leaving a heavier coat to sand off which in turn fills small holes and imperfections.
To line up the holes in my JP back with all the "L" bracket holes I put machine screws in all the "L" bracket holes and then painted a dab of red paint on each screw head.Then I carefully placed the JP back onto them being extra careful not to move,or rub the screw heads and get a perfect dab of paint on the opposite (inside) of the JP back cover.Then I simply drilled out the holes and pop riveted the back on.The rest was just a matter of filing,bondoing,sanding,priming,etc. ;) ......you get the picture.
Hope this has helped :)
It has helped. Thanks man!

A few weeks ago, I attended the Meeting of the Minds 2012, a conference dedicated to urban planning and sustainability, or smart cities. The conference was a great balance of academics and nonprofit advocates, city practitioners, and technology vendors. That is to say, it was exactly what it set out to be – a "meeting of the minds" – and was refreshing for those of us who spend a lot of time in the technology world.
The event started with several walking tours of San Francisco. I joined the Arts, Innovation and Sustainability Tour of Central San Francisco. The tour started with several LEED-certified buildings, including the headquarters of the tour's host, San Francisco Planning and Urban Research (SPUR), a nonprofit, public-private collaboration with a mission of promoting urban innovation in the city. Next up was the 5M Innovation Project, which is itself an example of urban innovation.

Season stats: 5.4 ppg (7th on the team), 3.2 rpg (4th)
Per-40 minute stats: 20.5 P, 12.1 R
Season in a sentence: Brice Johnson showed an advanced knack for putting the ball in the basket, but his lack of bulk hurt him in the post against bigger opponents.
Season highlights: Johnson was a revelation early in the season. Arriving in Chapel Hill less heralded than some of his classmates and relatively unknown--given the world of recruiting--because of his Orangeburg, S.C. background, Johnson scored six points and grabbed five points in the season opener against Gardner-Webb, then scored double figures in six of the next eight games. That eight game stretch also included a pair of eight-rebound games, coming at Long Beach and in the Maui Invitational opener against Mississippi State. Those eight rebounds (amassed in just 13 and 14 minutes, respectively) would be his season high.
Johnson was one of the very few Tar Heels who didn't look overwhelmed at Indiana, hitting five of his seven field goals. That performance was part of a torrid early shooting start, as he made 61 of his first 97 college field goals (62.9%) in a stretch that lasted through the ACC opener against Miami.
Against the ACC: Even before the move to the smaller lineup, Johnson struggled to find the same production against ACC opponents that he had against the nonconference foes. His blistering start cooled to just 23-55 (41.8%) in UNC's first 10 league games. That was partially the reason he was among the big men who were unable to wrestle the fifth starting spot away from Desmond Hubert before the lineup change. For the season, he shot just 41.0% against ACC teams and his rebounding dipped from 12.5 rebounds per 40 minutes against nonconference teams to 10.5 against the league.
Postseason: Johnson saw just spot duty in the postseason. He played a combined 14 minutes in the ACC Tournament and shot 1-for-6 with three rebounds, then went 2-of-5 against Villanova and Kansas in the NCAA Tournament while collecting two rebounds.
Areas of improvement: Although most of the attention went to Hubert, Johnson was actually one of the players most affected by the switch to the smaller lineup. His minutes dipped dramatically in the second half of the season, and he saw double-digit playing time just once after the lineup change (playing 11 minutes in a win over Virginia). The freshman sometimes struggled to find his rhythm in the sporadic playing time, and went scoreless in three of Carolina's last six games.
Part of the reason his minutes decreased was that he wasn't providing especially consistent rebounding; after the Duke game, his game-high in rebounds was just four (against Virginia) and his rebounds per 40 dipped to just 9.04 after the lineup switch.
Bulk has been an area of emphasis for Johnson, as he was too easily pushed off the block by older, more physically mature players. Being outweighed especially hurt him defensively and on the glass, two areas where Roy Williams requires his big men to be contributors. A year in the Jonas Sahratian-led strength and conditioning program has paid dividends; after playing at 187 pounds last year, Johnson is listed at 205 for his sophomore campaign.
Season stats: 51.1%--Johnson's field goal percentage, which led the team and earned him the Brad Daugherty Award.
1-His total number of assists in the last 15 games of the year, when he occasionally forced shots against tough defenders.

Ive been a fan of BH since I first watched the Star Wars series.
I first started using pepakura for my builds, like for my Ao2 mask, as well as the start of an iron man helmet. I have been reding the forum for a short while, and finally got the chance to start on my Fett helm.
That was 2 hours of work(notice the impromptu stand... aka lavalamp). Next couple of days ill resin it and get more done.
Im more of a fan of Bossk, hence the handle. I also like to build weapons, such as the E11 blaster, thats about 30% done.
Needed a small winter project to stay inside and work on in this freezing 50 degree weather :P. Ill be around posting, and thanks to wizardofflight for the templates for the helm. Once I can actually post elsewhere, Ill show my other WIPs.
Look forward to getting to know yall.

Lecture on Immigration Reform at Wayne Law, Nov. 18
DETROIT (Nov. 12, 2009 ) – Wayne State University Law School's Program for International Legal Studies is pleased to present a brown bag lunch discussion on "Comprehensive Immigration Reform: The Situation of Undocumented Migrants in the United States and a Path to Legal Status," by Professor Rachel Settlage. The talk will take place on Nov. 18, 2009, at 12:15 p.m. in Room 2255 of the Law School, located at 471 West Palmer Street, Detroit.
Professor Settlage directs the new Wayne Law Asylum and Immigration Law Clinic, which provides students with the opportunity to represent clients, under faculty supervision, on a variety of immigration matters, including asylum law, trafficking protection, protection for battered immigrants, and family reunification in Immigration Court and before the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Before joining the Wayne Law faculty, Settlage most recently served as a clinical fellow with the University of Baltimore School of Law's Immigrant Rights Clinic. She has also practiced law at the Asylum Program of Southern Arizona; served as a Senior Researcher at the U.S. Department of State, Office of the Historian; and served as a Foreign Affairs Officer/Senior Editor at the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
Settlage earned a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley. Her publications are in the areas of immigration and human rights law.
Settlage's talk is part of the 2009-10 Speaker Series presented by Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies, which brings prominent experts in the field to the Law School campus.
About the Program for International Legal Studies
International law cuts across all aspects of a Wayne State legal education. Fully one-third of Wayne Law's tenured and tenure-track faculty teaches and writes on international subjects. Those faculty members enjoy world-wide reputations as innovative and prolific scholars, publishing on the most important issues of the day. Students can take classes on a remarkable range of international topics, from international commercial transactions to international environmental law to the use of military force and the protection of human rights. And study abroad programs give students a first-hand view of other nations' legal systems and their approaches to legal education.
The Program for International Legal Studies is the focal point for all international activity at Wayne Law and a showcase for the faculty's latest scholarship on international issues. The Program sponsors a conference and lecture series that brings scholars, policy-makers and practicing international lawyers to the Law School from across the country and around the world. A series of brown-bag lunches allow students the opportunity to discuss international issues in a more personalized setting with faculty members and attorneys from the community. A blog in which faculty members highlight and discuss current developments in international law will be hosted on our Web site.
Director Gregory Fox writes and teaches on international organizations, human rights and the international administration of territory. He has been a visiting fellow at Cambridge University, the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg and Yale Law School. His many publications include Humanitarian Occupation and Democratic Governance and International Law, both published by Cambridge University Press.

Per Mertesacker believes Arsenal's defenders have learned to trust one another.
The German was involved in another shut-out at Wigan on Saturday as Arsène Wenger's side kept their eighth clean sheet of the season.
Mertesacker says the Gunners' backline is gelling as a unit after coming together only after the campaign had begun.
"We try our best in every match," he told Arsenal Player. "We didn't have a pre-season together and we have had to get our form together and trust each other in the games.
"We are in the last 16 in the Champions League and are in a good position in the Premier League and we want to keep on going like that.
"At the beginning [of Saturday's game] Wigan tried to close us down a lot and it was very difficult for us," he added.
"They had a good tempo and a good speed in their game. Therefore we were careful and did a great job in the final third."

UPS Launches Next-Day Service From Hong Kong To Europe
Press Release
New Direct Flights Cover More of Europe, Guaranteed, For Both Small Packages and Heavy Freight
SINGAPORE, March 28, 2011
- UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced the launch of direct flights from Hong Kong to Europe, enabling the company to offer the widest next-day delivery coverage for both packages and heavy freight to Europe from Hong Kong.
With the addition of four direct flights, UPS now offers a total of 11 flights from Hong Kong to Europe each week. This gives companies in the region easier access and more options to conduct business with Europe. Indeed, with these flights, UPS reaches more of Europe next day, guaranteed, than any logistics carrier.
The new daily direct flights will link Hong Kong with Cologne, Germany, Monday to Thursday using modern B747-400 aircraft. They will operate in addition to the seven flights that UPS already offers each week between Hong Kong and Cologne via Dubai. Beyond offering an accelerated option for shipping packages, the new direct flights also will change the landscape for air freight shipments. UPS now delivers to more European destinations from Hong Kong with next day, guaranteed express freight service than anyone.
The new service offers wide coverage across Europe reaching 34 countries with non-dutiable small package and letters service, and 18 countries with dutiable small package service. With the UPS express freight service, shipments can be delivered in one day to 18 countries and 39 cities across Europe, including Paris, Milan, Prague, Frankfurt, Madrid, Barcelona and Copenhagen.
UPS's Cologne air hub is the centerpiece of the company's extensive and integrated European air and ground network, which includes 460 operating facilities and 156 daily intra-Europe flight segments, ensuring UPS can deliver to every address in Europe. This efficient network is supported by some of the world's most advanced technology and gives companies a competitive advantage by providing them the ability to reach virtually any market using one logistics provider door-to-door.
"Hong Kong is a strategically important market for UPS with its proximity to mainland China and its well-established trade connections with the rest of the world," said Dan Brutto, president of UPS International. "With the EU becoming an important trading partner for many Asian markets, the launch of these flights shows a commitment to Asian businesses by providing them additional and faster options on these trade lanes."
"The new direct flights significantly reduce the transit time between Hong Kong and Europe, providing European businesses that import from Asia a faster and more efficient option," added Wolfgang Flick, president of UPS Europe. "Over the last few years, Hong Kong to Europe has become one of the fastest growing trade lanes. UPS's new flights add significant capacity to support this lane."
About UPS
UPS (NYSE:UPS) is a global leader in logistics, offering a broad range of solutions including the transportation of packages and freight; the facilitation of international trade, and the deployment of advanced technology to more efficiently manage the world of business.

I don't know if you're planning on running with it, but you really shouldn't. Unlike the nano and shuffle which just use RAM, the video iPod uses a real mechanical hard drive. All the jostling that running causes (or any exercise causes, for that matter) can quickly warp and ruin it.

This drawer method is so simple it should be illegal. With one table saw setup and a dado stack you can build drawers all day long.
Two critical accessories are required. You need a stacking dado set. You'll only use the two outer blades of the dado set to cut 1/4″ rabbets. (If you don't have a dado set you could also use a single 1⁄8″-kerf blade. This would require some set-up changes, but the concept is the same.) You also need a zero-clearance insert for your saw, which supports your work during the cut.
On a finished front drawer as shown here, rabbet the front and back. On a false front drawer, rabbet the sides. We recommend shooting brads through the sides into the rabbet. These brads will add some strength and reduce the clamping necessary to build these drawers. — DT
Set it up once and forget it – how simple. The first step is mounting the two full dado blades to achieve a 1/4″-wide cut. Then set the cut height.
Next, slide the rip fence toward the blades and lock the fence exactly 1/2″ from the outside tip of the blades.
You're ready to cut. The rabbets are made only on the drawer fronts and backs. The side pieces are left intact. The first pass should be made at the end of the piece. Use your miter gauge to guide the cut to remove the waste.
The second pass is made with the end of the piece guiding along the rip fence, defining the inside shoulder of the rabbet. It may be necessary to make a third pass to clean out the center of the rabbet's cheek.
The last cut is for the 1/4″ x 1/4″ groove to accept the bottom. It's made by running the two sides and front piece (shown) flat on the saw, guiding the bottom edge against the fence. The back is 1⁄2″ narrower and has no bottom groove. PW

Here is an email that I recieved from my pistol club. Let me know if you are interested and I'll see if I can take a few non-members.
Dear RCRPC Members,
Personal Protection Academy (PPA) occupied one of our tables at the Fall Gun Show. PPA trainer, Michael Bender, offered to come to Janesville to conduct a Lethal Force Seminar and Concealed Carry Weapons permit qualification class. If we have enough interest, the seminar could be conducted on a Saturday or Sunday before the end of the year. Details are below.
· Classroom and range time total roughly 6 hours.
· Learn to identify violent criminals, predators and their MOs, and acquire effective self-defense tools to legally protect your family.
· Learn legalities of pistol possession in your homes, businesses, and elsewhere; legalities pertaining to use of deadly force (or threatening to use it) in self-defense; actions you must take and must not take before and after a defensive gun use if you want to stay out of prison, regardless of whether or not you have a concealed weapons (CCW) permit.
· Learn the process and locations for applying for specific permits that allow legal carry in 30 states.
· Learn what to expect in the aftermath of a defensive gun use: legal, psychological, and social factors, and steps you must take to protect yourself in the legal arena.
· Get fundamental training: safety, handling, loading, unloading, shooting, and clearing of revolvers and semi-automatic pistols.
· Learn critical defensive handgun selection criteria and avoid spending hundreds on the wrong equipment: revolver or semi-automatic; carry size and weight for your hand and carry method; trigger action types; loading and unloading mechanisms; calibers; materials of construction; tactical manual of arms; and field strip and maintenance issues.
· Other topics: concealment methods, holsters, clothing, being around police while armed, defensive ammunition, street awareness, and everyday events from safely using a public restroom to securing your firearm in your vehicle when entering restricted areas.
· Learn the life-saving difference in shooting with defensive accuracy vs. bulls-eye accuracy.
· Seize this opportunity to brush up on your fundamentals (stance, grip, trigger and breath control, sight picture and sight alignment) to increase your accuracy and safety.
· Validate your skills while operating a handgun your knowledge of safety, your competency, and your poise by completing the Defensive Shooting Qualification before graduation.
By completing this course, youll receive a document certifying your training with a state-certified instructor, qualifying you to apply for concealed handgun permits. Until Wisconsin passes it own CCW bill, most PPA graduates acquire permits from Minnesota and some from Florida, allowing legal carry in up to 30 of the 48 states that already permit concealed carry.
Once Wisconsin passes its carry bill, hopefully in 2007, PPA will provide an abbreviated Wisconsin update at a fraction of full tuition and place your enrollment ahead of the expected lengthy waiting list of new enrollees. After Minnesota and Kansas passed their bills, waiting lists stretched out for months. Some Kansas instructors are enrolling 80 students a week in preparation for kickoff of legal carry in January 2007.
If we have enough interest in this one-day seminar, PPA offered to reduce tuition from $150 to $125 for attendees that donate their $25 discount to our Club treasury. I attended this CCW course a couple of years ago and found it definitely worth the time and money. If youre interested, call Michael Bender with questions and to register: (608) 845-7816, days, evenings and weekends. Payment is due when you register with VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. The PPA website is <A href="http://www.ppa-wi.com/" target=_blank rel=nofollow _>www.PPA-WI.com.

Showing Love For Less
New York, New York -
(NBC News) This weekend is absolutely, positively the last chance to save on flowers, candy or gifts for your Valentine's day sweetheart because by next week, you're at the mercy of retailers.
"They know that you're going to buy, you have to buy. So, you're subject to whatever they put in front of you," said Brent Shelton of FatWallet.com
And, if you've purchased from online florists before, expect a bunch of reminders this weekend about deals still to be had.
"They will be sending you reminders and they will be sending you promotional codes and offers that you can use," RetailMeNot.com's Trae Bodge said.
A National Retail Federation poll of over 6,000 consumers found most will spend on average$134 for Valentine's day.
Others say it'll be more if you don't do things like what fatwallet.com calls 'stacking discount'
"So, you'll see a discount like 20% off and then you should look to see if that retailer is offering cash back or free shipping," Shelton said.
It may be too late for free shipping in fact, expect an expedited fee if you want delivery on valentine's day or avoid shipping worries altogether by shopping local.
"Sites like Groupon, Amazon local, Living Social are competing in the online space and they're bringing you the local deals," said Shelton.
Also, consider having the bouquet delivered the day before or even the day after when everything will be discounted.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of the JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook is a howler monkey. Howler monkeys are so named because of the very loud sounds they make, which can be heard up to two miles away. They are considered the loudest landliving animals. They have two hollow hyoid bones that allow them to make the powerful sounds they are known for.Male howler monkeys are black, and females range from a brown to a light tan color. They have a large neckand a large lower jaw (containing the large hyoid bones), short legs, and a long, prehensile tail. All baby howler monkeys are born with brown fur, but the fur on the males eventually changes to black. These monkeys can grow up to 2 feet in length, and can weight up to 16 pounds. The males are usually significantly larger than the females.Howlers travel and live in packs of one to three males and two to seven females. There is one dominant male in each group. They spend the majority of their time in trees. Their howling vocalizations are used to marktheir territories as well as to communicate with other packs of monkeys. Their diet consists mostly of leaves, but they also eat fruit and bugs. They are becoming an endangered species due to the shrinking size of the forests in which they live and find food. Mary Brady was the production editor and the copyeditor for the JavaScript and DHTML Cookbook. Brian Sawyer and Sarah Sherman provided quality control. John Bickelhaupt wrote the index.Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from Cuvier's Animals. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. This bookwas converted by Joe Wizda to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the bookwere produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. This colophon was written by Mary Brady.

JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook Review
By Robert Bannon from the Columbia Java Users Group
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook:
The JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is about using javascript and css to create dynamic user interfaces for your web application. Each "recipe" starts with a statement of the problem. This is followed by the solution, which includes the code to make it run. After the solution section, a discussion section follows. The discussion section includes explanations of why the code works and various alternatives.The book is broken up into chapters and each chapter consists of recipes that relate to the main topic of the chapter. For every chapter, there is an introduction, which is a very good summary of the DHTML topic. Just reading the chapter introductions would give a high level overview of DHTML.The recipes are practical solutions for problems that a developer could actually encounter. There are not flashy recipes that are useless. The recipes consist of simple solutions to complex solutions to application problems. The book could be used as a reference to solve a particular problem that you have or the book could be read, especially the discussion sections, to understand how to solve problems with DHTML. The only drawback to using the code for a recipe is that some recipe built on top on other recipes and you need to find the previous recipe.In summary, I would recommend this book for any client-side web developer.

I got this book a week and it's already been very useful to me.As the author says in his introduction, these are examples of how to solve real world problems.The presentation of the examples is very clear and the downloadable examples very useful.If you are developing using JavaScript and DHTML this is a 'must buy'.

chakra-2011.10.26-Edn-i686.iso in this case.
Once downloaded, I successfully tested it under Virtualbox, being able to boot the ISO and navigate the Chakra desktop in my virtual machine. That told me the ISO was good, so it was time to create a LiveUSB. In order to do so, I go as follows:
- Enter a USB drive and format it as FAT32.
- Unmount it from a terminal:
sudo umount /dev/sdb2
- Copy the ISO to the USB using dd:
sudo dd if=chakra-2011.10.26-Edn-i686.iso of=/dev/sdb
- After a few minutes, the process finishes (apparently) successfully. I then test the newly created LiveUSB drive on my old trusty HP NX7400 and it works just fine, which in this case tells me the creation of the LiveUSB worked out well.
- Since I don't want to install Chakra on my 7400 because it is, well, old, I aim for the other more modern machines I use. When I plug the LiveUSB in and start up any of those machines, I get nothing but a frozen BIOS screen while the USB drive seems to keep reading and reading. The machines I use include: HP 5320m Elitebook, HP 6930p Elitebook, HP 2730p Elitebook and HP 2740p Elitebook (the former two are notebooks while the latter are tablets). All these four machines are very much Linux friendly and I have never experienced issues loading something as elementary as the boot manager.

Dear Members,
Mount Fuji is like the magic name, everytime we flew to Tokyo, when we were approaching Haneda Airpot our captain always announced about Mount Fuji down below and passengers would looked through the windows and take pictures.
Mount Fuji (富士山; Fuji-san in Japanese) is the tallest volcano and the highest mountain in Japan. Mount Fuji is still considered an active volcano. The current volcano, which erupted about ten thousand years ago, covers two older volcanos, Komitake Fuji and Old Fuji.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2YoANQa ... -shelf-119
The official climbing season for Mt. Fuji is between July1 and August ...
Almost 200,000 visitors climb to its summit every year during the climbing season, from July 1 to August 27. It is also a religious center; the Shinto goddess Konohana Sakuya Hime is revered at shrines at the base and around the rim of the crater, and Buddhists called its summit "zenjo," a Buddhist term describing a perfect meditative state. Buddhists also regard Fuji as the abode of the Buddha of All-Illuminating Wisdom . Mount Fuji is a well-known symbol of Japan and is frequently depicted in art and photographs.
Shugendo myths relate that the first ascent of Mount Fuji was made in 663 C.E. by the wizard-sage Enno Gyoja, but it is more probable that people began ascending the mountain in the twelfth or thirteenth century. In the fourteenth century, practitioners of Shugendo (a movement worshipping the nature spirits of mountains) established the first climbing route to lead pilgrims to Fuji's summit. Four centuries later, Fuji-ko, societies devoted to the worship of Fuji, became a major religious movement and inspired thousands of people to embark on annual pilgrimages. The summit was forbidden to women until the Meiji era; today almost half of those climbing Mount Fuji are women. The first ascent by a foreigner was made by Sir Rutherford Alcock in 1860. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and a common destination for mountain-climbing.
Mount Fuji is surrounded by myths and legends concerning its spiritual significance and resident spirits and deities. Around 800 C.E. a shrine was built at the base of the mountain to placate the fire god that caused the volcano to erupt. In the eighth-century Kojiki, the Shinto goddess Konohana Sakuya Hime, "the Goddess of the Flowering Trees," married a god who grew jealous when she became pregnant soon after their wedding. To prove her loyalty to him, she entered a flaming bower and gave birth to a son, untouched by the flames. Sometime between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries the belief arose that Konohana Sakuya Hime could protect the villages around Mount Fuji as she had protected her son. During the Tokugawa period (1600-1868) the Fuji-ko (Fuji mountain-climbing movement) confirmed her as the principal goddess of the mountain. Today she is still worshipped in Shinto shrines at the base and summit of Mount Fuji, including the one originally built for the fire god, and honored at a fire ceremony in Fuji-Yoshida each year at the end of the climbing season. Fuji-ko members maintain her altars in their homes, and each group lights a torch in her honor at the fire ceremony.
Buddhists found in Fuji an inspiring symbol of meditation and called its summit "zenjo," a Buddhist term describing a perfect meditative state. Buddhists also came to regard Fuji as the abode of the Buddha of All-Illuminating Wisdom. Mount Fuji is also an important religious center; nearly two thousand religious organizations are based around the mountain, including one of Japan's largest Buddhist sects.
The soaring volcanic cone of Mount Fuji has been a frequent subject of Japanese art. The most renowned work is Ukiyo-e painter Hokusai's masterpiece, 36 Views of Mount Fuji. It has also been mentioned in Japanese literature throughout the ages and has been the subject of countless poems.
Ancient samurai used the base of Mount Fuji as a remote training area, near the present day town of Gotemba. The shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo held yabusame in the area in the early Kamakura period. As of 2006, the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the United States Marine Corps operate military bases near Mount Fuji.
Though it is often enveloped in clouds, on a clear day, Mount Fuji can be seen from downtown Tokyo. It provides a stunning backdrop for numerous scenic drives, hot spring resort towns, tourist hotels and amusement parks.
Love to look at Mount Fuji on every flight to Tokyo,

Dos and Don'ts
Eye Contact: "Don't be intimidated when Argentines look you directly in the eye in public places or by the way Argentine men tend to stare at women."
BBQ Roles: "If you are invited to an asado (an Argentine BBQ), know that if you are a man, you can just sit back and relax. The women will set the table and prepare the salads, snacks, and desserts. The men are in charge of the meat, and everything that goes on the grill."
National Pride: "Argentines are proud of their country, their people, and their customs. Be patient, because anyone you meet likely will ask you where you're from, why you've come to Argentina, what you think of their country, if you think their women are beautiful, if you think the meat is good, and which soccer team you root for."
RSVPs: "Don't expect a quick response to an invitation (to eat, go out, etc.). Argentines are very informal, especially young people, and will often respond at the last minute—if at all."
Tea Etiquette: "If you are drinking mate (a traditional tea-like drink), always drink all the mate you are served. If you say gracias, (thank you) it means you don't want to be served any more."
Kissing: "It's very common for the Argentines, especially women, to greet and bid farewell with a kiss. No matter how many people are at a party or friendly get-together, the most appropriate thing to do when you arrive is to greet each person with a kiss. Men can shake hands, but male friends often give each other a kiss, a hug, or a pat on the back."
Nicknames: "Argentines often use nicknames that recall physical traits. Don't be surprised or offended if you have dark features (skin, hair, or eyes, etc.) and people call you 'negro' (black). They often use nicknames like 'gordo/a' (fat); 'flaco/a' (skinny) etc."
—Macrena Pereyra Olazábal and Soledad Olaciregui of Maneras Argentinas provide expertise on Buenos Aires culture.
Phrase Book
Valentina Noblia and Alicia Carrizo, linguistic professors at the University of Buenos Aires, provide expertise on Buenos Aires lingo.

Vos: You, informal second person; Argentines use 'vos' instead of the standard Spanish 'tu' Pronounced vohss.
¿Qué talco?: This combination of '¿Qué tal?' and '¿Como estás?' means 'how are you?' Argentines also often use '¿Qué haces?' and 'Cómo andas?' Pronounced kay TAL-ko.
Chau: Good-bye; much more commonly heard in Argentina than "adios." Pronounced chow.
Kioskos: "Kiosks" or newsstands and newsstand-like convenience stores that sell magazines, candy, drinks, and other knick-knacks. Pronounced kee-OH-skos.
Chinos: The word literally means Chinese people, but this is Argentine slang for the often Asian-owned (not necessarily Chinese) grocery stores throughout the city. Pronounced CHEEN-ohs.

Morfi: Food; morfar: eat, chow down. Pronounced MORE-fee and MORE-far.

|if you get in a real wreck with a neon you're gonna fuckin die.
I'm trying to stay away from compacts, bigger cars are safer and I'll need the space.
Almost bought a 97 Maxima for $400 today with 120k. Guy on CL wanted it gone, it needed a crank position sensor. Called my mechanic friend and he told me to have it towed to his shop. The part was $130 on ebay when I checked, I only have $550 until my paycheck tomorrow, was going to have it towed there and buy the part/hope my bud would do me a solid on free or dirt cheap labor. But it wasn't meant to be and the guy had sold it 20 minutes before I got out of school to go over there.
If I can find something decent in need of repair, I'll just do that. The thing could have sold for two grand easy once I had it running. It was online for 1000 last week and he just finally got sick of it.

Parts and insurance will be cheaper as well and readily available
I have a heavily modified SRT neon, it is the same motor as the 2.4 and 100k miles and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. Routine maintenance and only failure was a starter this spring. The 2.0 is also a super strong motor, easy to work on and great gas mileage.
Again just trying to find best bang for buck if this is what he is looking for.

Of course now I've opened up a ball of wax any everyone will tell me about their uncles ford escort that went 800,000 miles, but the stats don't lie. Toyota's last longer.
|I 2nd the neon. They are dirt cheap parts are readily available new and bone yard. Easy to work on and with snow tires on mine goes like a raped ape through snow.
I bought this during high school in 1995.
Red '88 Tercel for $700. Needed new breaks and a distributor cap to pass inspection but my dad taught me how to change them myself. I was also anal about changing the oil regularly during it's life. Learned how to drive standard on this beater too. It had 120K on it when I purchased it and then I put 150K more in 5 years until one cylinder blew. When the second cylinder blew I sold it to scrap yard for $200.
My friends and I had some amazing times with that crap box.... Believe it or not, this car picked up chicks, perhaps a couple were fugly but that was because my buddy lost a bet. The rest were definitely not fugly.

all the other choices will cost you money in repairs and shit. wife and I had a great '87 tercel that I used as a roofing vehicle till i killed it.
My GF just bought her first vehicle. I fronted her the money. I told her to get a corolla/camry/celica or similar. She wanted a Subaru or a 4Runner. Ended up paying $5k for a really nice 4Runner in good shape, but with high mileage.
The truck has been great, but she had her first off road adventure (not on purpose) and now it needs $1000 worth of body work. Where does that money come from? She still hasn't paid off the truck to begin with...
For a first car START SMALL!!! In upstate NY you should be able to buy a 90's Camry with low mileage for a reasonable amount.

have 2 civics now 97 and 99, doing great, require very little attention.
honestly you can't afford anything else.
nissan sentra is not a bad choice either.
don't buy american, european, korean or mazda, or any suv or truck(there are exceptions to these but you can't afford any of them).
toyota, honda, nissan, period. stay with the base models and smallest vehicles.

Also checked out a 1996 thunderbird down the street that a guy was asking a grand for. talked him down to 800, and it only had 62k. but the rust was bothering me, didn't know if it was going to pass inspection. also needed brakes and the ctl was on for some reason.
i agree with your advice 99.9%, mileage and reliability are a must. but with the 700 bucks i got right now, i wouldn't even find something to last me through the winter. i'm hoping a family member or friend tries to sell a car and offers it to me cheap, i'll take it in a heartbeat.
and to everyone telling me not to get a loan: i've had my job since last july and make just under 10 bucks an hour. working 12-15 hours a week (that's not hard, at all) i can pay back the loan in 1/3 the time so i avoid interest. if i pay back 300 a month, i still have money to save and spend. the reason my parents won't help is simply principle, they know as well as i do i can pay this off no sweat.

Most cars with 100K+ that have had zero suspension work will more than likely be needing that. Have you priced out that work/parts. Even if you do the labor yourself, front suspension and all new struts $700+
Also most cars in that range will need a timing belt and that averages $1k if you don't have the knowledge to do it yourself. That isn't including all the pulleys and water pump that should be done if you are in that area of the motor.
Used luxury car, in the $4500 range well over 15yrs old and I doubt you can afford the parts let alone the labor cost.
I could go on for quite some time on similar issues.

My advice...don't take any type of loan what so ever, pay cash for a car you can afford, buy snow tires, shred as much as you can.

Understand the difference between wants and needs.
and i do need a car for an internship i'm starting soon.

You think have $4,500. NO! You now have $3000 for the car, $200 for tools and $1300 in a savings account to fix what ever breaks. Also learning to work on cars is a skill that will save you crap loads of cash your entire life. (because of my skill I was able to buy an $1100 minivan for my work as a courier and drive it over 50k miles putting less then $500 into it.)
Find a car with some sort of community behind it. The reason for this is because any problem you have someone on there will know exactly how to fix it. I would personally recommend the Neon community because it is where I learned 90% of my automotive knowledge that allowed my Neon to easily pass inspection at 230k miles.
Drive anything and everything in your price range. In the used car market all cars become more or less equal. Be patient and do you research on what you find.
Oh and get a AAA subscription. An old car will break down and knowing the tow is paid for is a huge relief.
i agree with your statement regarding a car with a community. troubleshooting advise can save me 1000's at the mechanic. and i might be able to do it myself.
thanks everyone!

I just double checked my receipt from my online purchase, and there is no $15 fee on there.
I bought 4 tickets for the NLCS and the convenience fee was $28.72 total for the 4 tickets, which says it includes Cincinnati admissions tax, and there was a $5.50 order processing/delivery fee (and I printed them off). So I'm guessing I will be out $34.22. Although it seems like I would get the tax back. So maybe I'm losing the $5.50.
I don't know.

The legislation, if passed, will get more Americans working again, modernizing the nation's aging schools and putting teachers and support staff back to work. "The American Jobs Act is a win-win for the American people," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "Congress can choose to put students ahead of political gridlock by supporting a bill that puts Americans back to work, modernizes our schools, and puts educators in classrooms instead of on the unemployment lines." The 30-second ad is airing in select media markets here in Massachusetts as well as in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas and the District of Columbia. These are states that have been feeling the economic pinch caused by severe budget cuts and painful policy decisions. Teachers, education support professionals, parents and others in local communities are rallying behind President Barack Obama's bold proposal to get the economy moving in the right direction again. His proposal would put up to 280,000 educators back to work and modernize 35,000 of our nation's aging public schools. "The fact is that educators know firsthand the devastating impact the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression is having on our communities, our schools and students," noted Van Roekel. "Children can't learn if they're hungry. They can't learn if their family can't afford to see a dentist or a doctor. They can't learn if they're anxious, nervous or have low self-esteem due to living in poverty. Unemployment isn't just an economic issue – it's an education issue." One such unemployed teacher from Florida visited Washington to urge her Congressional delegation to pass the American Jobs Act. Cherine Akbari, a history teacher from Northeast High School in Oakland Park, was fired the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week and five days after she moved into her new house. The American Jobs Act would put people like Cherine back in the classroom with her students again. There are hundreds of thousands of unemployed educators like Cherine who are willing and eager to get back to schools and classrooms with help from Congress.

Dear Members,
Mother In Law: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxCBx73v ... re=related
Toy(nickname) was 1 of 12 Thai stewardesses worked for Scandinavian Airline(including me).
Those days on each SAS flight out of Bangkok, 1 Thai stewardess wearing long Thai silk dress, would be on duty.
Toy was very beautiful with pretty face/complexion, she was 5 yrs older than me. She was the only
stewardess who owned Mercedes-Benz. She loved to play golf whenever she had days off. And that was
how she met a golf-man, fell in love, got married.
Whenever I met Toy in Copenhagen or Karachi or Rome, we would go out shopping/go sightseeing together.
She told me about spending lots of her money to build a nice house on her husband's land near his parents's
home on the same premise. I asked her why not buy a beautiful new home near the airport, I said I never
wanted to live near inlaws. She laughed, said that her husband's parents had 2 maids to clean/cook for her
so she didn't worry about anything.
About 3 years later, when I met Toy again in Rome, we went walking to the Trevi Fountain and threw
3 coins in there and made wishes and went to walk up and down the Spanish Steps just for fun. And then
we took a bus to the Vatican as we used to do whenever we met. May be the Vatican was so peaceful that day,
Toy started to cry telling me that she had a big fight with her husband because mother-in-law said that Toy
might had love affairs with SAS crews while she was away from home. The breakup was so bad, Toy decided to divorce.
The worst part was she could only drive her Mercedes with personal belongings out of that marriage
and had to leave the house that she put lots of her money to help building, because the house was
on the inlaw's property !! The last time I saw Toy, she quitted flight job and became ground supervisor
for Thai International Airways at Sydney Airport, Australia and she looked quite happy/beautiful as ever.
Please stay away from your inlaws!

You have escorts and boyfriends who have been tested on lie detector tests and you don't have Joe Simpson out there saying he is not or threatening to sue, so I don't really get when TMZ has a little report that says Joe has been telling friends and family that the speculation is absurd. That is not a denial. That is just saying that speculating about it is absurd. There are just too many people who have spoken about this for Joe to just plead with TMZ to help make it go away. Be out and be proud. Sure, you have been homophobic in the past and said it was a horrible sin and that people would go to hell if they were homosexual, but now is your chance to help change all of that. Plus, everyone wants to know where you got your new hairstyle done.

Out of the six mags I have for it, only two have the extension still on. I mainly carry the standard base mags and use the ones with extensions for backups.

Making the T&E is the next step, I have several ideas and am not totaly sure which one I will use yet.
As my beltfed collection gets bigger I thought it would be nice to have a universal bench top tripod for all the guns. Shooting the mg34 & 42 off the bipod on a bench is cumbersome and you really need a tripod for the 1919 and FN30 that I will be building. I have a home made tripod for my .50 that I use for the 1919 and an AA tripod for the 34 & 42 and plan on getting a M2 tripod but hauling it all around is cumbersome as my car has a small trunk.
I made a wood mockup of the base unit and made the pintle today. I have an adapter for the 34 & 42 from the AA tripod that fits the 1919 pintle. The next step is to make a T & E mechanism that will work with all the guns. I have some steel tubimg coming next week and hope to have the first prototype soon.
I am also looking into making an adapter for my AK pistols to function like one of the AW-Sim devices.
I got the metal in today and welded up the base. It looks pretty good so far. I have some stuff on order from MSC for the T & E mechanism, I am not sure of all the details on that part yet. It should work pretty good with the spade grips on the 1919

Neat idea.I'm already seeing the rear leg runing on a semicircular track.Hmmm.
It's only metal, it's not magic.
Stan that's a great looking gadget!! I could put a mount in the fortress -- About 30' up a wall -- commanding a view of the valley.
My daughters were up this past weekend and stated that in the event of a zombie attack they were coming here. I said I'd go to great lengths for the pleasure of their company but didn't think I could arrange that.

That's a good idea. Keep sharing the info, I think I'll try to make one of these for the 1919.
Looking good. So this will work with all your beltfeds?

One of the guys at 1919a4 awhile back built a bench top tri-pod and heres a pic
It looks good but there is no T & E, the gun needs to be ridgid to fire it with the pistol grip.
The first model has a problem in that it wants to tip forward, so I whipped up V2.0 this is a more traditional design and uses the T&E from the 1919. It will also fit the 34 and 42 better and will acomidate an ak wirh 30 round mag for the bump fire sled attachment.
I love making stuff out of this tubing, it welds up real nice!
