Working out in a swimming pool adds a whole new dimension to your workout. There are several reasons to work out in a pool. Most of the time, one needs to find a low-impact workout that will not stress the joints.
Water aerobics is great for beginners as well as for more experienced athletes. The resistance offered by the water takes any workout to the next level and ups the intensity. If you are looking for a high intensity workout, using a float belt and exercising in the deep end of the pool will get you the best workout. Exercises such as cross country skiing and scissor kicking while pushing the water to and fro with your arms are very intense. Assuming a sitting position in the water and "riding your bicycle" also provides a very good workout.
For those who are new or who do not want to push their workout to the next level, staying in the shallow end, doing kicks and arm rotations can be very good. Running around in a circle throughout the shallow end is an excellent exercise that anyone can do and the natural resistance of the water takes it up a notch. Underwater kicks in and out will also get your heart rate up in a low impact way.
Find some water aerobics swimwear (racerback swimwear, cross back swimwear, etc.) and jump in the pool. Use the water, deep or shallow, and you will have a workout that can be tailor made to your needs.next article >>

Re: Please recommend sailboat museums NE US
I am back from the trip and wanted to post a bit of feedback for someone trying a similar whirlwind tour. We arrived Thursday night in Providence and drove to Newport. Providence makes a good destination because it has an Amtrak Station, cheap rental cars, reasonable hotels and is in easy reach of Mystic and very close to Newport. On Friday, we toured Newport and The Breakers mansion in the morning and the Herreshoff Marine Museum & America's Cup Hall of Fame in the afternoon. On Friday evening, we drove to Belfast, MA. Saturday was spent touring coastal cities in Maine, visiting the Maine Maritime Museum at Bath, and the Maine Lighthouse Museum. On Sunday, we went to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Sunday evening was spent driving back to Providence. We spent all Monday at the Museum of America and the Sea. On Tuesday, we took the train to NYC and ended the sailing-related museum tour.
As you can see, we saw much in a very short period of time but couldn't see everything. It was easy to see a lot because we had the roads and museums to ourselves. That isn't exactly true but was often the case and we never had to wait. In spite of how it sounds, we didn't feel at all rushed and we didn't hurry through any of the museums. I do especially regret that we could not see the Bath Iron Works Trolley Tour but it was closed for the season.
The Lighthouse Museum was nice but we were there because it was easy and fit our schedule. The other museums are outstanding and should not be missed. I think that we were lucky to do them in the order smaller to larger but not sure that would matter. I am confident that the museums and yards we missed would also be worth visiting, we just didn't have the time.
Thanks for the advice and we hope to visit again and spend more time. If you live in the region and haven't been to these museums, go!
|I was just at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum this weekend. I didn't see as much of it as I would have liked since I was actually there for "Salty Dog" day (for dogs) but what I saw was very cool. It is the site of some old shipyards and they've preserved some of the stuff they used for building wooden ships back in the day. I will definitely go back and spend more time there.
Re: Please recommend sailboat museums NE US
I drive past the Essex Shipbuilding Museum almost everyday; maybe you can tell me if it is worth seeing!
Essex Shipbuilding Museum, Essex MA
It will be late in the season, but they invented fried clams there (Essex the town, not the museum itself) you should try them.
Rt 133 Essex, MA an hour north of Boston.
Why did Essex launch more two-masted vessels than any other town in the world?
How did Essex contribute to the development of the American fishing schooner?
Why were ship's caulkers so hard of hearing?

Re: Please recommend sailboat museums NE US
I loved Mystic and many of the other suggestions sound great, but if you're right in that area anyway, you have to see Plymouth Plantation.
It's not a boat museum, though it's about people who came in boats. Like Mystic, it's a re-created town. You're in early 17th century New England--right smack dab in it. Unlike the mid 19th century, whose architecture surrounds us day-to-day, it's so very foreign to us that everything you see is a first. And you can interact with people who are in character and so good at it that you feel like an intruder in their world. I'm hard to impress but I'd go again in a heartbeat.
Read N. Philbrick's "The Mayflower" first and your time-travelling.
|I would absolutely recommend mystic seaport in CT, large amount of early ships and private sailing yachts.
Re: Please recommend sailboat museums NE US
I don't know how you'll be getting to New England, but there is a train stop in Mystic. It's on the main AMTRAK line, but the high speed Acela doesn't stop here. (The Acela stops in New London, about 20 minutes from Mystic.)
The Mystic train station is less than a mile from the entrance to Mystic Seaport. You wouldn't need a car in Mystic if your luggage has wheels. You can stay overnight in the center of Mystic where there are lots of restaurants and its all a short walk. There is an Enterprise location about 2 blocks from the train station if you need a rental car. Driving time between Newport and Mystic is an hour.

Re: Please recommend sailboat museums NE US
I was expecting to hear about two or three nice stops to make on the drive. Now, I'm afraid that my week long November vacation might have turned into a scouting trip for summer. I clearly need to return in summer if only to do the Bath Iron Works Trolley Tour, that must be remarkable.
Summer would also be better for visiting the craft schools and coastal lobster shacks. Heck, maybe I'll enroll in one of the craft school sail making courses. Setting the summer advantages aside, I now very much look forward to a trip that I thought would be too much like driving the Northern CA, Oregon and Washington Coasts -- that are incredible BTW.
We just don't have the sea-based history on the West Coast: not so concentrated, not so long, not so economically or socially prominent. Thanks again. I will report back.

Pioneer DEH-P8500MP
I started talking to this guy that lives about 45 mins away from me and he offered to sell a Pioneer DEH-P8500MP (7 months old) for $250. He also said that he would install it for free as long as I bought the installation kit. It sounds like a good deal to me, but I also dont have a clue to what I'm talking about. I honestly didnt like the way it looked at first, but I read about it and it grew on me. Neways, does anyone know where I could get an installation kit for this???
Features Link
Anyplace that has an installation bay will most likely have kits. Probably a good idea to call ahead first.
Check this in the FAQ:
Once you know the name and model numbers for the install kit, call around for it locally. Or order online and wait a few days.
Well, as far as the radio goes - Pioneer is a good brand. If the unit is in good working order, you should be alright with it. It *is* a model from last year though, so there likely won't be any warranty on it anymore. The 8500 model is basically what is now the 8600 model, but with the dual-face plate of the 9600 model.
From what I've read the sound quality did improve a lot on the current model year, but then again, the current model of that specific radio (which would be the 8600), will cost you at least $320 (that's the cheapers I've found it for online) plus shipping. So it's definitely cheaper.
As far as the install kits go, lots of places carry them... I got my bezel at the local cartoys for about $15, and the wiring harness for about the same ($15-ish) at Circuit City.
i have an older pioneer HU and i love it. if the price is right, go for it, as long as it works.
As for install parts, check out www.sounddomain.com. i bought my install kit, wiring harness, and Antenna adapter from them all for cheaper then i could get it locally or online. if i remember right it was like $30 shipped, but that was a year ago.
first, even though i like pioneer a lot, i think there are better deals for that kind of money. my main reason is this... the 8500 is very different from the new 8600. the 8600 has auto eq'ing and auto time alignment features which were actually the only reason i even bought one of these. they are really good features but the 8500 only has a normal 3 band parametric eq and no time alignment features. in fact, the 8500 is almost exactly the same as the 8400. they shouldn't have even bothered putting out the 8500.
some options could be spending a little more and going for the p8600mp, which you could probably get price matched by sounddomain for about $340 shipped or less, which includes the things you need to install the unit. you could do that or you could get the 7600 for about $220 shipped with the things you need. this unit has basically all the features of the 8500 but no motorized flip down faceplate.
also, the guy said he'd install it but only said to get the installation kit. but i doubt he has the antenna adapter or wiring harness. he may not have known it needs an antenna adapter and he may have just planned to cut off the stock harness which you DO NOT want to do. so if you want to go through with getting the 8500, i'd go buy everything online from the same place so you get good deals when you figure in shipping. you could even have sounddomain price match stuff and save a few bucks. if you want to get it locally, walmart should have the harness (that is, if you aren't upgrading from the mp3 unit) for about $7. and the antenna adapter can be had for about $8 since best buy and circuit city are your best bets for carrying it (check the link from FocusInCali above for the details on that). last, the installation kit will probably cost $15 from best buy or circuit city. if you can go to a metra or scosche dealer, they'll probably have everything you need. as well as any chain install shop like car toys.

I am NOT in the market for another gun. (I tell myself 3 times) but eventually I will be, and I'd like to get a Sig. But I want a compact model in 9mm or larger.
What is the best compact SIG I should (eventually) be looking for?

I am NOT in the market for another gun. (I tell myself 3 times) but eventually I will be, and I'd like to get a Sig. But I want a compact model in 9mm or larger.
What is the best compact SIG I should (eventually) be looking for?
Oh, yes you are in the market for a new gun. You're just in denial. :smt073
Somebody's Sig 239 pic from the Sig forum. Beautiful gun.
Can also be had in.40 cal. & .357 Sig.
Just to clarify, the photo posted is of a P239 SAS, which is available only in .40 S&W. The standard P239 is available in either 9mm, .357 Sig or .40 S&W.
Yes, last year, I almost bought a sig, and I was wishing that the SAS models came in 9mm.. :smt022 :smt022 :smt022
Have you considered the 225, or is that too big? It has cult status in the SIG clan. Single stack magazine makes it slim for carry and it's a folded slide I believe vs. a milled one.
Sad indeed the SAS models are .40 only as my collection is all .22, 9mm and .223 and I wouldn't mind keeping it that way for simplicity.
However, I've shot a .40 USP full size a while back and don't recall it being a bad experience. What are the generally accepted negatives to the round? That begs the question as to why manufacturers are so infatuated with it lately.
True from the factory, but I'm pretty sure you can get a .357 barrel for it and have both calibers in one frame with a simple swap. Mags are the same for both rounds as well. At least that's the case with the 229 SAS.Quote:

Probably the cheapest option would be the 239. You can find used ones at very reasonable prices. I don't think you'll be disappointed with that one.
I've heard so much about the vaunted 225, I'd love to actually play with one eventually. You'll probably have better luck finding the 239. I tend to see a lot of them at gun shows in this area, usually going for $400+ for a used one.
I am a fan of the 239, and have carried it many miles. It's way too big and heavy for pocket carry. That's my only gripe with it.
On the other hand, I found a good pocket holster for the 232, which is now the main gun in carry rotation.
The mags for .40SW can accomodate the .357 round, but the .357 mags cannot accommodate the .40SW round as there's indentations meant to guide the thinner necks of the .357 catridges.
I think the P239 is the best bet, the SAS is gorgeous, but I don't know if I'd like the DAK trigger or not. I do love the SA trigger on sigs, so it seems like it would be hard to give that up. For carry I'd go with a P239 in .357.

Where Web 2.0 revolution is taking us

About Me Founder Socialmediabiz

Comments about oreilly Open Government:
We've known for years how social media and Web 2.0 have been transforming the way political campaigns are run, the way we interact with big institutions, the way news is reported and distributed — indeed, practically all facets of modern society. So it comes as no surprise that social technologies are slowly transforming the way government works.What is surprising is that editors Daniel Lathrop and Laurel Ruma and O'Reilly Media have managed to make a potentially wonky topic like Government 2.0 accessible, fresh and actually interesting. "Open Government"is a big (432 pages), beautiful book, from the gorgeous, sumptuous cover to the breadth of ideas and angles inside. In its collection of 34 essays written by thought leaders and practitioners in government reform, the book offers dozens of examples of a new approach to government: open, democratic, distributed, bottom-up, shareable, data-driven and focused on making "we the people" a reality again.Tim O'Reilly, CEO of O'Reilly Media — the best computer book publisher in the world — carried the same message in a webcast today that proved so popular my browser crashed four times. O'Reilly has been at the forefront of the open government movement and contributes the key second chapter, "Government as Platform." In the book, the editors have assembled some of the top names in the government reform movement: Ellen Miller, Micah L. Sifry, Mark Drapeau, as well as Fernanda Viegas, Dan Gillmor and dozens of others. You'll learn about the potential of data.gov, the initiative to create a simple framework to share public information, and Open Secrets from the Center for Responsive Politics, used by MAPlight.org to correlate congressional voting patterns and campaign contributions. The chapter on Tweet Congress details the efforts to get members of Congress to use Twitter — even today, Republican Congressmen out number Democrats on Twitter by something like a 2-1 ratio. Other chapters lay out countless other examples of how open government has moved from a geek idea to the mainstream.Writes O'Reilly in a key passage: Government 2.0 is not a new kind of government; it is government stripped down to its core, rediscovered and reimagined as if for the first time. … There is a new compact on the horizon: information produced by and on behalf of citizens is the lifeblood of the economy and the nation; government has a rsponsibility to treat that information as a national asset. Citizens are connected like never before and have the skill sets and passion to solve problems affecting them locally as well as nationally. Government information and services can be provided to citizens where and when they need them. Citizens are empowered to spark the innovation that will result in an improved approach to governance. In this model, government is a convener and an enabler rather than the first mover of civic action.If you roll your eyes at that and think government is the problem, buy the next Ann Coulter hatchet job. But if you believe that government belongs to us, and we can collectively convene to solve some of the great issues of our day, then get "Open Government." Buy one for any of your friends who work in a government agency. Change can happen one small miracle at a time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Developer
Title: Open GovernmentAuthor(s): Daniel Lathrop, Laurel RumaPublisher:O'Reilly MediaReleased: February 2010Cost: [$]I have just started reading "Open Government" and I am already thinking I need to buy this book for my friends in government and expense it. I really would like to see a lot of comments on this book, before I finish it, because I don't completely want to believe the author's take on where US is going. However, I will just post before really getting into this book, I might need to retract my comments. So please read on with this in mind.As the book starts off in the first person, I hear Mr. Lathrop, and then another author chimes in, then another as this is a collection and a discussion of ground breaking ideas.However, I am on the edge of my seat as the young and talented authors expression and thought pour out of these pages. I am suspicious on where this is going and what he/she is selling.... which is to get me to think of Government as a Platform.My perspective, I don't really like what happened during the dot com bubble and I am disappointed with all of the start ups promising glory and the investors who seem to have been suckered. I am not an expert on any of it, but during this time I really was wondering why the old timers where buying into the kids selling cracked ideas. While so many of us Spatial IT types where cutting amazing ground, but there was less interest in pulling in grounded concepts than the high world changing smoke and mirrors.Okay, I am jealous, but I have heard of so many stories of Computer Science grades with zero experience, spending a week or two, creating a webpage and a database, and selling it for millions. I suspect the whole event was more of a hacking of wall street, through the ingenuity and genius of the DotCom'ers. I can't put it down, I need to know where this is leading, it sounds like great ideas, but still I am not sure. This better not be Cool-Aid.Gov 2 point O? I am already believing he might be right, maybe he is.We need to be clear, we need to test this, we need to debate this before buying in.Radical Thoughts, Life Changing Ideas.I hope US is ready.Regards,Harley Powers Parks

I'm getting a bit gittery with the android market right now. I bought poweramp with a prepaid credit card and it happens to be declined as it had over two dollars in it left over so I might as well use it. I checked the card statement and it has a hold for google or two dollars. That's normal for adding a new card. I assume that it would have charged me five dollars instead of the 1.97 as it was on sale. Therefore, I wouldn't get it. So instead I decide to use my other card which had more. So I attempted to purchase it again, when I actually started to download it, I get a code 403 error of some sort. I checked my second card,, it has the purchase as on a hold. I checked my apps list on the android market site, it said that I purchased it on March 3rd. As of now, I believe it has been charged on my second card instead of the first one. And because of this hold, I'm also worried that it would charge me five dollars instead of the sale price.
How long does google new card hold take again?
I just fucked in my optimus x2's outer glass, touchscreen still works. What do? Where could I go to get this fixed and how much do you think it'l cost?
This is what LG are asking for:
Everywhere i'm looking is like £50~ for replacement digitizers but i'm hearing people talk about getting them much cheaper on forums and stuff, where are all these cheap options?
Not sure if it's the right one.
What's so good about poweramp?
I don't even know if any other player allows this, but when I first tested poweramp and saw that, I just went "FUCK YES" in my mind.
What is that feature where you place your phone against another persons phone and some transfer thing happens? I never understood what exactly that was.
2) Does your phone have Android 4.0?*
If the answer to both is no, then you're out of luck.
* It might've been possible before android 4.0, not sure. In 4.0 you have the sharing framework built in.
Also, this probably works without NFC, although I didn't try it. But it's compatible with my Galaxy S2 which doesn't have NFC.
Powered by witchcraft I suppose.
Anybody know if there's a way to easily re-arrange your homescreens on a Nexus S?
My local newspaper were giving you the chance to win a Galaxy Y today, not the best of phones I know, now this was in TODAYS paper, I flipped to the page to enter the competition and saw.. (closing date, February 15th)
good job guys..
also in other news
Little Blade's done pretty good for itself, Might have to start using it again maybe..
Actually tempted to get a decent droid aswell as my iPhone, best of both worlds eh?
Any recommendations? Or anyone got an old 2nd hand phone they wanna sell me? ;)
It's not Android, but you can flash Android 1.0 in it for all it's glory.
Only $5.
no dice
are there any programs (or android apps) that will automatically add lyrics to the tag of my mp3s?
or any way to make poweramp save the lyrics from musixmatch so you don't have to be online
Does it attach the lyrics to the music file?
Pic of lockscreen with somewhat good wallpaper:
So far, PowerAMP is truely the best Music Player on the Android OS. It's just the best. They also have a 15-day trial which is just the full version with a time restriction (of course, you can always "reset" the time limit) so you can try it out before this sale ends. I don't think this app has ever been on sale (?) or any cheaper than $1.99. So check it out and buy it, it's worth every penny.
I like how fast poweramp is and the EQ is nice and it looks beautiful, but I prefer playerpro's GUI and lockscreen
The PowerAMP sale ended about 30 minutes ago so if you didn't get it then, you're a fool for hesitating in buying one of THE best applications for Android!
i just use spotify, so im good
google music master race
I mean look at it its beautiful
you have good taste in music babe
Posting from my galaxy note :~)
congratz on a great phone :)
Running ICS on my Atrix now and it's fucking sweet.
Video recording is broken and low quality Youtube videos are broken but otherwise it's great.
So I tried OneNote Mobile by Microsoft. It's not really good, so I ended up continuing using EverNote. And no moving to sd card either
so what are some of the hottest live wallpapers and themes/launchers

Maybe a lower end stripped blemished one could be a good option,,,,if you can't find one. New and not beat up, and strength isn't an issue in that area, just saying,,, there not that much now. And possibly could save you head aches on the build sense anything scrapped is going to be pretty ragged, possibly causing you other problems. just saying
Possibly even contact some of the manufactures and maybe they could help out too ,,,, with something that has some other issue than the mag well that will be otherwise scrapped,, never know. Possibly contact Will @ Red Jacket,, he might be a good resource too,,with all his connections. Never know unless you ask???

The University of Colorado Boulder, the city of Boulder and local organizations have partnered to launch a community "I Love Boulder" campaign to kick off a year of celebration about what those who call Boulder home love most about the city.
The "community-owned" campaign, launching today, is designed to be viral and invites business and individuals to integrate the "I Love Boulder" campaign into their existing marketing efforts to leverage the power of the community to tell their own story.
"Boulder is one of the best and most beautiful university towns in America," said CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano. "The combined cultural, artistic, recreational and intellectual resources are unparalleled, and the quality of life on campus and in the city is unmatched. I have lived here for nearly 40 years and am still in awe of this amazing community."
The website www.loveboulder.org will function as a centralized location to share ideas and see what others love about Boulder. The city will leverage technology to pull tweets, videos and photos tagged with the campaign into the website for others to view.
CU-Boulder joins a number of organizations who have already agreed to incorporate the theme into their messaging or annual marketing plans, including the Boulder Public Library and the Boulder Valley School District, whose students will produce short films about their Boulder experiences and create art about their favorite Boulder places. CU-Boulder students are invited to do the same.
City officials say the identity system is intended to be given away to the community with the hope that it will be repurposed, reinvented, and used in new and original ways. Ultimately, this campaign is for the community.
For more information, visit www.loveboulder.org

|Topic Review (Newest First)
getting rid of the whole 8 pack would be a step in the right direction. replace with new (@$100 a pop) springs from your local yokal, have them do the measuring and guess the wgt of your rear half. maybe if you buy the springs fro them they will install for cheap.
or even cheaper.
you can just remove one at a time till you get the ride hgt right and see if you can live with the stiffness, or lack thereof. i think i'd take out the three shortest ones off the bottom for a start, unless you have to keep the very bottom one because of a peg or something.
hangers or shackles are an easy fix too.
this guys post might be of some help too: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/rebu...ml#post1542075
1954 Chevy 3100 rear suspension questions
I'm working on the rear suspension for my 54 (3100) Chevy truck and need to lower the rear end. I've already lowered the front with 2 1/2" drop spindles and like where it sits. It currently has 8 leaves in each leaf pack. My intent is to build a safe daily driver that I can be proud to ride down the road with my wife in or toss the keys to friend and not worry about there being 'safety' issues.
I've been told that I can just have some of the leaves removed, have them re-arched and add lowering blocks if needed to get the rake that I want. However, my concern is that I've heard that since I no longer have a torque tube rear end I run the chance of having axle wrap . (mind you it's a pretty stock 350/350 combo in the truck with an engine I pulled from a van so at best it has a rv cam).
If that's an issue then I'd rather spend the money and get a multi-leaf conversion kit like this one from cpp http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...ks/4754RLK.htm
Or is it possible to swap out my rear hanger and run 2 1/2 springs that I pick up from a local pick and pull? It still sits on the original frame (in the rear at least 75 Nove front sub frame). So not sure if this is possible with minimum fab skills or an idea that just looks easier than it actually is.
yes I know that I can 4-link it instead but I'm building a daily driver and don't plan to run air in the back. (plans to hopefully add bags to the front next year)
I'm also open to ideas to hear how others would tackle the rear suspension.
pic is of where the front currently sits, just a lil bit over the tire.

I was immediately struck by the size of the gun. She's a biggun, you're not going to CCW this puppy (not without a fanny pack the size of a gunny sack or an Antarctic parka). It is literally the same dimensions as a Desert Eagle. Fit and finish are great, and the controls are all reachable, though. The gun is also LIGHT. In playing around at the house, it corners very well and makes target transitions about like my USPs. Okay, so how big is it really? About 1/2" longer and the same height as a Beretta 92--that's not ridiculously large is it? And I found myself warming up to her.
At the range, she won me over completely. Yes, the claims of 2" groups at 50 yards are true. Mine will do every bit of that and probably better. Clay pigeons on the berm at 50 yards can be broken at will. At 100 yards every other shot will claim a bird, and that's mostly me doing the missing. Recoil is incredibly soft--I load .45 in full SAAMI spec and they felt like powder puff loads. The gun wiggled when it went off, and was right back on target.
The DA trigger is all HK, meaning it sucks. The SA trigger is all HK, meaning it's perty darned good. Now I'm not a trigger whore. I don't mind a snarky trigger so long as it's not Sigma level bad, and this one is no where near that level. It is long, heavy, and grindy in DA mode though.
So, back at home I decided to prove to myself that it was in fact a big gun. I measured and compared the grip circumference to my USP40. Hmmm...smallest diameter, 1/8" difference. Largest diameter? Identical. Length of pull to trigger? Identical.
Bottom line? This sucker is a shooter. It's big boned but not huge, and it's ight and maneuverable. Accuracy is surgical. It's like a .45 caliber laser gun. If the sights are on a target, the target is destroyed. Some hold over is needed at 100 yards. Half the front sight post worked like a charm, using Elmer Keith's method of aiming with hold over.
I like the gun, even though she's a collector's piece more than a shooter. I have an uneasy feeling that she'll be out at the range more this year...LOL

How skin heals
Wounds heal in several, overlapping steps. How fast and well any skin damage heals depends on many factors, including a person's health and age, location and type of injury, and care for the wound while it is healing.
Listed below are the steps or phases when skin heals normally:
Phase 1: "Inflammatory" Phase
After an injury, a number of substances in the body reach the site of the wound quickly to begin to repair it. Besides causing blood to clot, these substances help remove damaged cells, germs and any foreign items (such as dirt). They also help create new cells that are important to healing.
As one of the first steps in healing a wound, the body starts to form a scab, or crusty layer. Removing scabs too early can cause more skin damage and cause larger scars. So to lessen scarring and improve healing, experts suggest leaving most scabs alone. Protect the scab and wound by keeping them covered and moist (with an antibacterial cream) while new skin cells grow beneath it. After a while, the scab will loosen and fall off.
Phase 2: "Proliferation" Phase
New skin cells begin to form over a wound during this phase, which begins hours after an injury. The repair continues for three to 14 days. During this phase, the body also creates collagen, an important protein that is in the skin and connective tissues, plus other substances to help the skin draw closed. If scabs are present, they will eventually dry up and fall off. Wounds that are kept moist with antibiotic creams develop new skin cells faster, according to plastic surgeons.
Phase 3: "Maturation" Phase
More complete healing continues in phase 3, about three weeks after an injury. Water begins to gradually leave the scar, and collagen fibers begin to lie closer together. This process makes the wounded skin stronger. After about two months, the area of the wound will be about as strong as it can be, which is about 80 percent as strong as unwounded skin. This phase of healing can continue for months or even years.PREVIOUS: Types of scarsNEXT: Caring for scars

mg42 bumpfire = FAST as ak if i recall..
Curse you, Rhino! Thanks to your post, I see there are 80% MG42 receivers for $450:
Add to this a parts kit w/o the receiver - $500:
more expensive here:
Add a bit 'o' garage work and ya got yerself an MG42 clone! Hrm now that looks nice - never been a big fan of 1919 builds simply because the A6 setup never did anything for me. Now, an MG42 build, well, that's a different story.
Considering the belt feed selections out there, this would be a good investment IMO. You currently have 1919, MG-xx, HK21, Shrike (LOL), and PKMs inbound. Geez - I may get my CC in trouble this summer!
Unfortunately it ain't that simple. I have been researching this and I don't think those receivers will work for a live gun. The 42 receiver if I am not mistaken is ALL sheet metal. the front halves in the kits are torch cut and need extensive welding to rebuild. In addition work needs to be done to the bolt and grip stick. It is doable but you need a lot of tools and have to be a good tig welder and be able to machine the bolt. It is a worth while project as a complete sa gun will set you back about $4,600.00
If you are interested the company that makes the sa one sells the sheetmetal rear halves for about $100.00
The Semi MG-42 mega-thread at Weaponeer.
A lot of reading and a bunch of pics, so go get yourself a cold one.
Weaponeer might have a 42 GB in the future should there be enough interest.
The mg34 link provides a 95-98% on a wwII? Sounds too good to be true.
Caliber isn't stated but implied to be 8mm.
If complete and as adv., this is better than the Weaponeer.
I'm clueless as to work involved on the receiver.
But this would be my preference in a belt fed. The best and cheap ammo.
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. -- Bertrand Russell
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Robert J. Hanlon
best bet is the MG15 receiver same place the krink kits are at. that one URL to the GB
The 80% receiver from Phil Ord. is the back half of the receiver, it is only semi cut in the bolt channel area. It was meant to be welded to the front half of the "barrel shroud" when the kits were demilled with only the back half cut away. Note pic
That looks like a bit 'o' work there. The weaponeer forum is like an entire gunco.net site contained in one big thread... a tough read!
I guess the $2500 have the allure that they are already welded together. An alignment jig may be difficult.
I don't follow the 80% being milled where the original is stamped?

Get Up and Go
Senate Bill 0509 (2003) Public Act 165 of 2003 (Effective: 10/1/2003)
In keeping with what I would assume is everyones desire to have truth in politics, I am bringing over this quote from CC and rebuttal from myself as it pertains to Biohazards thread about the Driver responsibility law found here: http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/showthread.php?t=24614
Following is the text of the original Bill 509 as sent to the Senate. I will add, to the best of my ability and in red, the political party affiliation of the state Senators that introduced this bill. With 7 Republicans and only 2 Democrats introducing this bill on the senate floor, I would hardly think that is something that can be fully and simply blamed on Granholm.
Just doing my part to clear up a few misconceptions during this time of political spin.
p.s. I am in no way singling out any individual with this post. I simply read a post made by my friend Biohazardbill and am responding to some information posted as fact. This disclaimer is for anyone who might think this is a personal attack by me on CC, which it is not.

date by multiplying the tax assessed in the preceding fiscal year
times the personal income of Michigan for the preceding calendar
year divided by the personal income of Michigan for the calendar
year that preceded that calendar year. In performing the
calculations under this subdivision, the secretary of state shall
use the spring preliminary report of the United States department
of commerce or its successor agency.

subparagraph (ii).
(iv) For the fourth and subsequent registrations, 90% of the
tax assessed under subparagraph (iii).
For a vehicle of the 1984 or a subsequent model year that has
been previously registered by a person other than the person
applying for registration or for a vehicle of the 1984 or a
subsequent model year that has been previously registered in
another state or country and is registered for the first time in
this state, the tax under this subdivision shall be determined by
subtracting the model year of the vehicle from the calendar year
for which the registration is sought. If the result is zero or a
negative figure, the first registration tax shall be paid. If the
result is 1, 2, or 3 or more, then, respectively, the second,
third, or subsequent registration tax shall be paid. A van
vehicle that is owned by an individual who uses a wheelchair or by

shall be rounded to the next higher whole dollar when the
computation results in a figure ending in 51 cents or more, unless
specific taxes are specified, and the secretary of state may accept
the manufacturer's shipping weight of the vehicle fully equipped
for the use for which the registration application is made. If the
weight is not correctly stated or is not satisfactory, the
secretary of state shall determine the actual weight. Each
application for registration of a vehicle under subdivisions (j)
and (m) shall have attached to the application a scale weight
receipt of the vehicle fully equipped as of the time the
application is made. The scale weight receipt is not necessary if
there is presented with the application a registration receipt of
the previous year that shows on its face the weight of the motor
vehicle as registered with the secretary of state and that is
accompanied by a statement of the applicant that there has not been
a structural change in the motor vehicle that has increased the
weight and that the previous registered weight is the true weight.

ad valorem taxes on vehicles in stock or bond, except on the
specified number of motor vehicles registered. A dealer is exempt

received by the secretary of state on or before the expiration date
of the registration plate, the secretary of state shall collect a
late fee of $10.00 for each registration renewed after the
expiration date. An application for a renewal of a registration
using the regular mail and postmarked before the expiration date of

Introduction and Referral of Bills
According to the
Journal of the Senate
92nd Legislature
This is how and by whom the bill was first introduced. Subsequent votes were in committee and Democrats and Republicans alike voted on all kinds of issues, including the insertion and deletion of the word "a". (Amazing what these guys spend their time doing)
I see nothing in the OFFICIAL RECORD to indicate this bill was introduced solely by those you indentify or anything with a date of 5/18/2005 (which incidently is 2 years after the bill passed )
Unless a link is provided to an official site to refute what I posted, I stand by the information I dug up.
If what I posted is not true, please prove it so we can both be right.

It sounds like the fuel pump is running, and no computer trouble.
My guess would be the hose blew off at the pump to sender connection.
Did you clamp it with good clamps?
Some of the newer 3.8 like the 04 taurus and such , had a fuel pressure sensor on the fuel rail, and with that and the cam sensor and a fuel pump control module , it ramped the fuel pressure up or down according to engine demands.Ford thought it was better than a regulator.
I dont think yours is new enough to have that, but it cant hurt to look to be sure.
Given that you have a little fuel pressure,I would bet the hose popped off in the tank.

98 Ford Winstar fuel pressure issue?
3 weeks ago my van would not start when I came out of the store, so I disconnected the battery - cable for ~15 min, then re-connected and it started up and has been running fine since. Yesterday it happened again, (same exact symptom) but disconnecting the cable did not fix this issue. I replaced the fuel pump and even straight wired a temporary power supply to the pump, but still get very little fuel volume/or/pressure at the fuel rail schrader valve, nor do I get much pressure/volume at the line going into the fuel filter. This would rule out any PCM, fuel pump relay, regulator ect. issue, right?
I'm just asking for ideas about what to check next since I desperately need this van running Monday morning.
Thanks once again for any help!!!

I'm sitting here trying not to cry... I know he's a celebrity, but damn... this one is hard... RIP Cory, you are gone WAY WAY too soon.
What?!?! I don't know what to say.
Per Vancouver PD: Cause not immediately apparent; foul play not suspected. Checked into hotel July 6th. Is originally from BC. Will gather evidence, speak to family, friends, associates as part of investigation.
Live feed concluded; no updates until tomorrow...more likely Monday per Vancouver PD.
EDIT: VPD Statement...(click link for full statement)...
Wow, that's tragic. I knew he had addiction problems.
(((his family)))) . ((( Lea Michele)))
I..wow...I don't even know what to say to this. He went to rehab earlier this year, I know no official cause has come out yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an overdose. Such a tragedy.
Also drugs damage one's body, so it could have been a heart attack, stroke or a seizure. Probably won't hear much more before Monday (if then).
Wow! So sad and shocking!
I don't watch Glee, but he was too young. I wish we could somehow teach our young people how to handle their demons without resorting to drugs.
You have to be kidding me. I feel almost how I felt when Heath Ledger died. He was way too young and this is completely shocking and I feel like I'm going to start crying any second. Is this real?
Yes, sadly it is real. I watched the live feed of the VPD press conference and posted their press release (see above).
But it doesn't feel real
I know...it's so sudden, so unexpected, so tragic. (((HUGS)))
A classic, beautiful moment from GLEE:
Don't Stop Believin': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WxPyUzWSPA&feature=youtu.be
Aww, what a shame.
How sad.
What a shame. So much talent and gone far too soon. I also think Anita summed it up perfectly about our kids today and the use of substances to deal w/their demons.
(Has a little background on his drug problem.)
Mark Salling just tweeted the word 'no'. That's it. Just 'no'.
"Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel..." - you never know how long they will be in your life.
wow, I just saw this. how shocking!
Such sad news.
Such sad news. Thoughts to his family, friends and girlfriend.
Very sad, shocking news. Gone too soon.
So very sad for his family and friends.
To young to die. R.I.P.
That is so sad. Is it true he was to be married in a few weeks?
This is just so tragic.
Bleesings to Lea Michelle and his family & friends at this difficult time.
Oh my, this is terribly sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.
