|Mr & Mrs Roush
Here's the update: I took it back and they still cannot tell me why its different from before, but are saying that I need a new clutch because its old and worn out. Which it may be since it is the original, but I still don't understand why it would be working perfectly fine the day I brought it in, and then all the sudden after they "fix" my leak the clutch wear is noticeable... I believe they did something wrong and they aren't taking responsibility and can't even tell me why the clutch feels like its slipping now, but didn't before the cylinder replacement. They can't even really guarantee me that it will drive like before after I do get the clutch replaced. Anyone have anymore knowledge about clutches? Or what to do next?
I am going to get a second opinion next, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the help so far whynotthinkwhynot.
|I wonder if Roush would help, or if you'd need an SCT or something. IDK why they would be re-flashing anyway for something that was completely a mechanical job. There's not even a need for disconnecting the battery with this particular job.
|Mr & Mrs Roush
|Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I am headed back to the dealership again today, hopefully to speak with another service rep. If that doesn't work out I will be giving the Ford Customer Service a call. Thanks.
My Feeling is they reflashed the car to stock. That is, the programming in the ECU from Roush is no longer there and you're driving a stock programmed car.
I've been hearing rumors that this is becoming more common, in part because of emissions updates available. Thing is I don't hear that Ford is asking customers if they can reflash the cars. They just do it.
Now I may not be right, I sure hope I'm not, but it's something to call and ask about.
Anything mechanical just doesn't seem to fit.
My first recommendation is to get the Ford Customer Relationship Center a call. They can reach out to your dealership and ensure your concerns are getting resolved. You can reach them at 1-800-392-3673.
Also, keep in mind that you're welcome to get a second opinion at a different Ford dealership. I've seen instances where people have had success going this route.
As whynotthinkwhynot states, I can be reached via PM if you need any additional help.
|Since you're new and maybe not familiar with forums and PMs, I will contact FCS for you, and she should show up in this thread in a day or so. Meanwhile, call that dealer back, and scan the receipt so she can have whatever information she needs from the receipt.
Smell anything burning- like hot brakes maybe?
It sounds to me like the slave cylinder locked up. Either way, since you took it to a dealer, you should have a 1 year warranty on the repair. I am surprised and amazed that they let you drive the car out, and expected you to believe that they can't fix it correctly. We have a Ford Customer Service representative from corporate on here. If you have the receipt from your dealer that should detail any warranty. Even if there is no warranty (and there should be), the customer should be satisfied with the repair. I'd locate a scanner, scan the receipt, and then contact "Ford Customer Service" on this site. I believe the girl's name is Crystal. She should be able to take your information, talk to the regional CSM, and that way you can take your car to another dealer under the same warranty if necessary. I'd try taking it back to the first dealer, and talk to a different service manager if possible.
I'm just guessing from an internet description without any diagnosis, so I'm worthless. I could be a stuck brake, damaged clutch, bad master cylinder, or stuck slave cylinder. NO matter what it is, the dealer should make the car drive like it did before the master cylinder went out.
|Mr & Mrs Roush
What Happened?? Replaced clutch master cylinder, now I have no torque!
I have a 2004 Focus Roush Edition. The clutch was leaking fluid and shifting was hard, so I took it to the dealer to get the cylinder replaced. They replaced it and gave it back, now the car drives completely differently! They claim they don't know how to fix it to like it was. It used to drive like a race car, now its so slow! It lost all its torque and clutch sensitivity. Anyone know what the problem could be and what I should do?

I was grilling some friends a few years ago about where to get the best Turkish food in Chicago, and one name kept popping up. Ever since, any time I crave kebabs, like some sort of strange doner reflex, I black out for a while, only to wake up sitting in Café Orchid's parking lot. And it smells good. Did I mention those friends were Turkish?
Ah, the age-old question: which came first, the city or the kebab? Sharing the name of Turkey's fourth-largest city (thank you, Mr. Interweb), the Adana sandwich ($6.95 with fries) features a ground lamb kebab slightly charred on the grill wrapped with lettuce, tomato, red onion, love, and homemade lavash bread—but mostly love. The meat is tender, bursting with garlic, salt, and paprika—slightly reminiscent of cevapi or Romanian mititei. Red pepper flakes give it a kick, but there's homemade cacik (like Turkish tzatziki) to cool it down. Word to the wise, though, it's served wrapped in foil for a reason. Resist the very messy urge to disrobe it.

Obama's DOJ Tries to Sneak Around Supreme Court GPS Tracking Ruling, ACLU Upset
Jason Mick
January 17, 2013 2:08 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! (says the DOJ)
The American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) hit a brick wall when its Freedom of Information Action (FOIA) of 1966 (
§ 552
) lawsuit requesting detailed documents on GPS tracking procedures was rejected by the U.S. Department of Justice.
I. GPS Tracking is Back
The issue of GPS tracking has been a contentious one. In some high profile incidents federal agents, state police, or local police have attached GPS trackers to citizens' cars and used the continuous tracking as incriminating evidence. While law enforcement agencies contend that GPS surveillance is a powerful tool for fighting crime, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) clearly thought otherwise,
deciding unanimously
U.S. v. Jones
, 10-1259
; PDF) that
planting GPS trackers on citizens' vehicles
generally is a violation of Fourth Amendment rights.
Following the January ruling, the FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann provoked ACLU scrutiny when he spoke at a February law enforcement convention in San Francisco, suggesting that other forms of location tracking were arguably legal.
While not specifically mentioned, one such form of tracking would be to seize citizens' cell phones or request records from mobile carriers in order to gain a record of locations based on tower pings. Such tracking has only been used in a handful of cases nationwide, but is growing in use.
GC Weissmann also suggested that boats and other types of vehicles may be fair game for tracking as his interpretation was that the SCOTUS prohibition was narrow, only covering GPS tracking on cars.
The FBI argues that it may still be legal to use GPS tracking on boats.
[Image Source: Ron Niebrugge]
He also makes reference to a pair of memos, detailing how tracking was to be carried out.
II. ACLU Gets Non-Answer From DOJ
In the wake of those comments the ACLU filed suit to obtain those memos, arguing that their release would make clear whether the FBI and other DOJ agencies are actively pursuing such forms of location tracking, and what the rules are (e.g. whether a warrant is required).
The DOJ gave the ACLU the memos this week, but they were almost entirely redacted, leaving little useable information. The sweeping redactions were justified in a note from the DOJ that cites the stipulation that FOIA requests can be redacted to prevent the release of information that would aid criminals.
In a
blog post
Catherine Crump, an attorney for the ACLU, blasts the DOJ memos, writing:
The Justice Department's unfortunate decision leaves Americans with no clear understanding of when we will be subjected to tracking — possibly for months at a time — or whether the government will first get a warrant.
Privacy law needs to keep up with technology, but how can that happen if the government won't even tell us what its policies are?
The DOJ release the FBI memos, but it redacted most of the details in the documents.
[Image Source: Iceni]
Given the DOJ's relative non-response it appears that the DOJ and ACLU will continue to square of in federal court or possibly in another Supreme Court case.
The ACLU's position is clear -- warrantless tracking is a danger to Americans' freedoms.
The DOJ's position appears to be that while it will respect the SCOTUS rulings narrowly, it will freely engaged in any form of investigation not explicitly prohibited. The Obama administration has gone to bat for the DOJ in court, arguing that when it comes to law enforcement, sometimes
safety trumps the need for transparency and protection of civil liberties

"I loved how the card had a variety of colors, which all worked together in a beautiful way. In addition, the card is not just a plain when, what, where, who, why card. It has personality and that's why I chose it!"
"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 11th birthday. She's too old now for the cutesy invites and she's not a frilly girl, so this was perfect. I'm very pleased with the quality."
"Some of the type on the cards I ordered was too small. When I called Tiny Prints, they redid the order and had it shipped to me in 3 days! The redesign was perfect, and I really appreciate how great their customer service is. My family has used Tiny Prints for the past five years, and I'm always so impressed with their work!"
"I've been a Tiny Prints customer for seven years now and have never been disappointed. Tiny Prints has provided a consistent and high quality method of capturing the most important moments and events in my daughter's life.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
In episode 46 of MicrobeWorld Video, filmed at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Meeting in Washington, D.C., Dr. Stan Maloy talks with Tracey McNamara, professor of pathology at Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine, about her role as the head pathologist at the Bronx Zoo during the 1999 West Nile virus outbreak in New York City. As several local residents were hospitalized with encephalitis of unknown origin, many crows and exotic zoo birds were dying off. It was determined that the patients had St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) which is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that got the virus from infected birds. However, birds with SLE do not get sick and a possible connection between the dying crows and human cases was dismissed by many experts.
McNamara suspected there was more to this story because of the large number of birds that were also contracting encephalitis and struggled to make her voice and preliminary research heard that suggested a new disease may be emerging in North America. It wasn't until she connected with researchers at the US Army Medical Research Institute in Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Ft. Detrick, Maryland, who quickly confirmed that the virus that was killing the crows and her birds at the Bronx Zoo was West Nile virus, a disease endemic to Africa and parts of Europe that also infects people.
McNamara's experience has made her a champion of One Health – "a call to action for collaboration and cooperation among health science professions, academic institutions, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industries towards improved assessment, treatment, and prevention of cross-species disease transmission and mutually prevalent, but non-transmitted, human and animal diseases and medical conditions."

West Jordan • The sounds of sweeping violins and soothing flutes that usher in the romantic moments that sneak in between the sweeping action sequences of Star Wars fill the halls of the West Jordan City Hall.
It's a Saturday morning, and the all-volunteer West Jordan Symphony is rehearsing for its Oct. 27 Fall Concert.
The group, which has about 40 members, is conducted by Music Director Larry White, who leads rehearsals, selects music and keeps the players in sync.
"These players have to give up time with their families to do this, but they love the music," White said. "It gives them the opportunity to play great music and keep their skills sharp. It's well worth it and rewarding."
The group rehearses every Saturday morning for two hours from mid-August through April, and then players spend time during the week working on their individual parts.
Some members, such as Marie Maxfield, drive from long distances to play. She commutes in from Syracuse each week, but she says have to wake up early is a small sacrifice for the joy she finds playing in the orchestra.
"I really enjoy the group, and I enjoy the conductor. He picks a great selection of music, and there's always a challenge for someone with the music, which is great for whole group," said Maxfield, who is the head of public relations for the group and the concertmaster. "The people are good people, and we play well together. It's worth getting up that early."
The orchestra players range in age. Most players are experienced and are in at least high school or college, and many are older adults, occasionally a younger player is impressive enough to keep on.
The symphony is funded by the West Jordan Arts Council, receiving $1,200 each year for sheet music and other expenses, according to city spokeswoman Kim Wells.
Anyone who is interested in playing with the symphony is welcome to talk with White, and if they can handle the music and time commitment, they are welcome to play, White said.
"Sometimes the music is too difficult for some folks, and they weed themselves out," White said. "But we're a community group, and we understand that."
Some of the players in the symphony are related, said Maxfield, whose husband, Evan Maxfield, plays trumpet.
"We have a lot of people who have family members that participate," she said. "It's an extra special thing to do with your spouse or children."
In addition to the four annual concerts the symphony plays, smaller all-woodwind and all-strings groups perform at retirement homes and for West Jordan's holiday open house.
Their concerts are all free-of-charge.
"Not only is this a good opportunity for us to play," White said, "but it's a good chance for the people to come and have a free concert and hear great music."

Hi all,
I know this has been discussed, but can you tell me what color yellow should be used for the shoulders and the knees? Also, should I use vaseline or rubber cement for masking the dents in those pieces?

Hi all,
I know this has been discussed, but can you tell me what color yellow should be used for the shoulders and the knees? Also, should I use vaseline or rubber cement for masking the dents in those pieces?
I'm too lazy today to search for a different thread, but Krylon makes a color called CATERPILLAR YELLOW (as in the big industrial earthmovers). It is more of a school bus yellow/orange color. I couldn't find it, but NAPA Auto Parts makes the same color in an automotive finish called CAT YELLOW. It actually has a finer spray pattern and takes multiple coats easily. I also used it for the yellow areas on my jet pack. I don't know of anyone who has used it on their armor and had any regrets.
Regrets, regrets, regrets. Caterpillar yellow is 1/2 of the combination you need. I did mine originally in Cat Yellow, and it looked good to me until I got my pictures back from Halloween. Way, way too bright. But it is easily fixed for it is the combination of Cat yellow and pumpkin orange when sprayed together make it just right. Some here swear by just the orange, but that doesn't look right to me. I covered mine with the cat yellow, then misted them with the pumpkin. If you take it too far, just work back into it with the yellow. P.S. don't forget to mist it with some flat black too.
I knew there would be atleast one person who didn't like it. :) Weathering mine with a combination of flat black and gray acrylic paints toned the color down a bit. Still, when I hold my pieces next to reference pictures, it's pretty darn close.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I am ASSUMING that the Krylon and NAPA colors are the same (similar names?). Which one did you use (you mentioned both of them in your post)?
The yellow is Wal-Mart brand (ColorPlace) Equipment Yellow. Since it says that it is designed to match Caterpillar I guess that it would also match yours. The orange is Krylon Pumpkin Orange Gloss. I used a satin finish over the armor to keep it matte, but I think that the orange might come in a satin finish too. I know what you mean by the color looking right. The Cat Yellow was actually my 2nd try with the first color(Sun Yellow)having absolutly no orange in it. It looks right but you have to remember that you are looking at a picture that was taken with a flash. That will lighten it by at least a couple of tints. I do have one picture online.(I really need a digital camera). This was taken outside of the Plano con in May (I believe Bardo Fett is Jango) so the color of the shoulders looks brighter and my chest armor looks darker than it is, but you can make out the color pretty well on the knee guards. http://triumviratepictures.com/2Fetts.jpg
I painted mine with a layer of chrome/silver, then a bright yellow (sorry don't remember the brand) and then the Krylon Pumpkin Orange. After that, I misted with black and a TINY bit of the yellow.
I'd have to agree with what Boba Phat said. While I didn't include that on my list of paints that is in fact how I got mine the color they are now. I used the pumpkin orange as a base and misted a bit of equipment yellow on to them. However after seeing the pictures from MOM and after going to MOM the color should be brighter than mine but they'll do.
Couple questions... (Apologize if previously discussed)
First, are both shoulder pieces the same color? (Believe I've seen it the same, as well as the two a different shade from one another - What's the case?)
Second, is the knee armor the same color as the shoulder armor (And which one if they are two)?
If anyone has any over the counter spray paint colors they can recommend - Great...
Not looking for 100% accuracy, but something close.
Well I used rustoluem old catapillar yellow for the shoulder bells, and knee's I'm doinf MoM ROTJ Fett though
I think its the same for the ESB Fett not sure though, in some pics it looks orange, like the hallway scene, I think that is preproduction stiles though.
The ESB shoulders are two different colors one yellow and one orange.
I'll let the ESB experts chime in what is what.
Indeed the left shoulder (with the skull) is a lighter shade of yellow. The right shoulder and knees are the same color to the best of my knowledge of researching ESB for the past 5 years :lol I used a base the PollyS UP Armor Yellow and misted on top with Milwaukee Orange for the right shoulder and knees.........I think it looks perfect IMHO :D For the left shoulder I simply used the UP Armor Yellow.
So the knees are more orange than yellow????
Please advise.
I think it's been said they are more orange (Right shoulder color), but thought they were more yellow (Left shoulder color)
Please advise!
I used old catapillar yellow, its a goldish yellow color, er ROTJ version at least. This got merged for both. ESB may be different on one side than the other but ROTJ I dont think it is.
I recently spoke to Jeremy Bulloch at a convention and he tells me that they were never orange, but more of a Mustard colour. I reckon that the Caterpillar Yellow is a great colour match (but Matt).
Here is a pic of the shoulder and knee armor I made and painted for my girlfriend this year. All 4 pieces were airbrushed yellow. After the weathering which included a rust I found it brought out an orange tint.

Canisius head softball coach Mike Rappl, the only head coach in the program's 35-year history, announced today that he will retire from coaching, effective immediately. The senior-most member of the College's athletic department staff, Rappl retires with a career record of 831-526-2, making him the winningest head coach in any sport in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference history.
"It has been a great run and I have so many great memories, almost too many to even try and count," Rappl said. "There are very few professions in life that give you the opportunity to work with young people and travel all across the United States and the world, while being a part of a game. I would like to think that I helped people come to school here and I helped them reach their potential as student-athletes. Then to see them go on and reach their potential in the real world – that's an amazing feeling. To think I was a small part of that growth process is a great honor. Doing this becomes a way of life. You work so hard with your head down, and then you look up and it is 35 years later. This has been very rewarding for me."
Canisius Director of Athletics Bill Maher has announced that Kim Griffin, a member of Rappl's coaching staff for the previous seven seasons, has been named the program's interim head coach for the 2014-15 season. Maher said an announcement of a permanent successor to Rappl as the program's head coach will be made in the near future.
"Our softball program is one of the premier programs in the MAAC because of the hard word and dedication of Mike Rappl," Maher said. "It is hard to truly describe what Mike Rappl has meant to Canisius College, our athletic department and our softball program. Mike has been a pillar of success during his time as a coach and administrator here at the College, and a small part of that success is evident in the numerous academic and athletic honors his teams have received over the years. I speak for all my colleagues in the Canisius Department of Athletics when I say thank you to Mike for your incredibly successful career and congratulations on your retirement."
A seven-time MAAC Coach of the Year honoree, Rappl led the Golden Griffins to 13 MAAC regular-season championships, 12 MAAC Tournament crowns and 11 NCAA Division I Softball Tournaments, most recently in 2009. One of two MAAC softball coaches to ever win an NCAA Tournament game, Rappl racked up a career record of 330-124 in league play and he saw 61 of his student-athletes earn All-MAAC accolades. Under Rappl's direction, the Griffs recorded 14 straight 20-win seasons from 1989-2002, eight 30-win seasons and 22 consecutive winning campaigns from 1981-2002. Rappl's 831 career wins rank him in the top-25 among active Division I softball coaches and he ranks among the top-60 all-time in the NCAA record book.
In addition to his term as the school's head softball coach, the 1977 graduate of Canisius handled a number of other responsibilities within the Canisius athletic department over the years. From 1986-93, Rappl won 93 games as the school's head women's basketball coach and he also served as the College's Director of Athletic Facilities. In 1994, the veteran skipper coached Canisius to an overall mark of 36-8 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Canisius lost to top-ranked Arizona in the first game before coming back to drop Rutgers in an elimination contest. The Blue and Gold saw their season come to an end after falling to Texas A&M. Rappl's 1993 squad set a then-NCAA record by winning 35-straight games, en route to a 36-3 record and the best single-season winning percentage (.923) in school history.
He was inducted into the Canisius Sports Hall of Fame in 2009, making him the first active head coach to be enshrined in the school's Hall of Fame. A total of 15 of his former softball players have also been voted into the school's Sports Hall of Fame, along with the 1994 team, which was enshrined with the Class of 2013.A native of Lancaster, N.Y., Rappl earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Canisius in 1977 and his master's degree in 1980. In the summer of 2005, he was honored by his high school alma mater, as he was inducted into the St. Mary's High School Athletic Hall of Fame, and in November 2007, he was voted into the Western New York Softball Hall of Fame.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
After some space consideration, I want to make a boom crane ( sorta like an engine crane ) rather than the Gantry. This will allow me to work off of 1 side rather than 2, and allow dropping an engine/ trans in the frame a breeze with 2 winch's and hooks.. I now have 1 of the 2 5798 winches I will need. I still need 4 snag blocks/ pully's. I will attach the snag blocks into the boom with Forged Eye bolts and heavy duty quick links rated at or above 3,000 lbs
Tower and all supports will bolt onto the base, and the frame itself should be good for 2-3 tons, but being the winch is 1 ton, that will be my max weight.. I guess I could support 2 tons with the weight carried over both winch's, but I don't have anything that heavy. Tho I will make a load bar that can utilize both winch's
|Yep. Worm gear design works as a brake without any mechanical brake. That's 1 reason why I went with the 5798 winch.. The handle should be easy to turn loaded anyway.
the better winch
I bought the truck crane and it had the gear to gear drive. I bought a big heavy wood stove for the shop at a garage sale and used it to load the stove up on the flatbed truck. My neighbor bought some livestock and his truck wasn't running and wanted to borrow mine to pull his 4 horse trailer. I was just leaving in the car and told him to just unload the stove in front of the shop. He cranked it up an inch off the bed. swung the stove out and started to crank it down. with the gear to gear winch and the weight he couldn't control it and the handle was spinning his hand around. It hit the ground but didn't break anything. The worm gear drive is slower but the design minimizes the possibility of it getting away from you. I have that winch on my crane now and also on my sheetrock lifter. I put on double nuts and use my right angle drill to power the lifter up or down then slip the handle over the DD flats and hand crank for final height.
|Well, I took the first step in building this. I got the 5798 winch from HF. first impressions of the winch are, it's ok. It's 40:1 ratio so it's slow but it'll work. It has a 'hard spot' on the drum which tells me the drum is off centered. I think I'll take it to my local Napa and have the machinist turn it center and insert a bronze bushing. Wish I had a lathe. It will probably wear in and be just fine otherwise. But a bushing with a little grease on it won't be a bad thing
|Yea, the only real reason I used it was because I had to support the trans somehow. it was supporting maby 200lbs of transmission weight, the engine crane had the rest.. Using that with the engine crane is a big reason on why I want somthing better
That's why they are so dangerous, they are not supposed to work if the load remains on the line after the lever is pulled. The only thing they are good for is pulling dead loads such as dragging something across a floor. There is absolutely no safe way to lower a load with one of these things and in fact it is designed not to do that and that's why they are such a PITA when someone tries to lower a load with one.
Several years ago a fella at a mine where I was doing a job a fella tried to pull a 350 Chevy engine from a truck with one of these things and when he tried to lower it he encountered the usual problem of having to let it down a notch at a time but at one point the teeth had not fully engaged in the locking pawl. As soon as he attempted to let it down another notch it jumped a couple of teeth and then caught snapping the handle up breaking two fingers and ripping into his face. He had to have plastic surgery to repair the damage to his nose and left eye, basically they had to re-attach his nose and part of his left brow. When they warn those things are not meant to lift with they mean just that but I am willing to bet they are used for lifting more than anything else in spite of the number of accidents they have caused and the fact they have no mechanism designed for lowering , they can get you in ways you would never expect and when you least expect it!
gantry crane
I've built a couple of heavy swing sets for my kids over the years, 2 inch surplus pipe for the legs and the top beam was a truss, upside down V with straight bottom pipe and braces,the legs telescope into 1 ft pieces of 2 1/2 pipe, then holes drilled to bolt together. One set was from a school that closed down. surplus sale CHEAP , I ve changed a lot of engines and a couple of bodies lifted off with them. . the latest one has a 4 in I beam with 2 trollies from a closed down Ford factory. pennies per pound for the steel The 2 trollies make it nice to have 2 chain hoists that are easy to move. . For the legs I used the V from the front of portable (trailer) classrooms/, A piece of 4 x 6,, 1/4 wall surplus tube for the upright to the I beam. , It has military surplus double castors at each corner wheel, wheel brakes and locks. I have 16 ft walls in the shop and it is tall enough to get the backhoe under and wide enough to fit the 6 wheel equipment trailer underneath, The harbor freight one looks doable for using in a house garage, and it telescopes up. probably cheaper than paying retail for the steel and welding rod.
I'm pretty sure most everyone already knows not to use this type of winch for lifting (even the more expensive ones) but it is worth mentioning anyway. These things are for pulling "dead" loads only and should NEVER be used to lift or pull any load that will fall or spring suddenly when tension is released. There have been a lot of accidents attributed to using these for lifting but still they are used for that purpose by some people anyway, doing so is a dangerous undertaking!

Just as a suggestion - don't over think this. The engine went in with a case strength chain wrapped around the house I-beam and a 2T chainfall and in a less then 7 foot clearance in my basement garage. As the span was a bit more then I preferred, I used a couple of the long construction jacks I own, but could have used common lolly columns or even a couple 2x4's screwed together and wedged in place. The body (even the heavy four door I started with before the roadster) was on and off several times in the same area using a beam connected to the I-beam and made from two 2x6x10 foot long screwed together. Then the final assembly was done in my normal 2 car garage with a 9 foot ceiling. I spread the weight over several floor joists with a couple lengths of 4"x4"x4', dropped a chain down then used two 2T chain falls. That upper floor is well supported by lolly columns and a beam. Unfortunately, I don't have many photos of this operation, but this below is the body, suspended from the two 2T chain falls. As far as my cost - probably less then $25 as most of what I used, I already had
Even a 460 wouldn't "kill" my arrangement or me
Dave W
I use these
They are a bit slower to operate but there is no neutral to them so they will hold in position and yes they will lift a motor and trans if needed..put 2 on one on each side as that will help in balancing a load if needed..
the cable will run to a block in the then to a block in the center of the lift. use a snatch block so it is easy to re rig if needed..
so you mean, instead of using the hydraulic ram or the chain hoist, just use boat winches at the back and hook the cable to the end and make it pretty much a true crane? what do you mean by a block for a guide? using a boat winch crossed my mind, but I was unsure about the strength of the cable, and I do tend to overthink/ over engineer some things that I build..
Could I use 2 heavy duty pully's on the boom instead of a guide block. put the winch's at like 5' up the post?
something like this winch? just have to be careful not to throw it in neutral. that would be bad.. but all boat winches have neutral I think.. I wouldn't get it from this ebay seller, probably off Amazon as they have it too

House Bill 2864 History
hb2864 intr
(By Delegates Skaff, Moore, Poore, Raines,
Wells, Stowers, Morgan, Reynolds,
Lane, Eldridge and Manypenny)
[Introduced March 7, 2013; referred to the
Committee on Education then Finance.]
A BILL to amend and reenact §18B-18A-1, §18B-18A-2, §18B-18A-3, §18B-18A-9, §18B-18A-11 and §18B-18A-12 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, all relating to the West Virginia Research Trust Fund; increasing the recipients of the fund to include all state land grant institutions of higher education; redistribution of moneys; deposit into fund from General Revenue Fund under certain conditions; deadline and consequences for failure to obtain matching funds and donations; legislative rule making; and reporting requirement.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia
That §18B-18A-1, §18B-18A-2, §18B-18A-3, §18B-18A-9, §18B-18A- 11 and §18B-18A-12 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted, all to read as follows:
§18B-18A-1. Legislative findings; purpose; and intent.
(a) The Legislature finds that the continued expansion of the nation's economy is dependent upon the ability of its institutions of higher education to increase the quality, quantity and productivity of its citizens who are engaged in scientific and technical fields of study. Failure of the United States to compete in these areas may lead to lower standards of living, dependence upon foreign intellectual capital and international insecurity. The economic future of West Virginia is equally dependent upon the ability of
Marshall University and West Virginia University, the state's two doctoral-granting, public research universities,
its higher education institutions
to promote, educate and train researchers and research support staff in these diverse fields of study.
The Legislature further finds that a recent emphasis on the creation of innovative curricula and the receipt of significant private donations by
Marshall University and West Virginia University
West Virginia's higher education institutions
has led to major expansions in certain areas of study, including energy, national security technology, environmental sciences, health and biomedical sciences, biometrics, biotechnology and nanotechnology. Despite these expansions, the additional investment of both private donations and state moneys is critical to recruiting world-class scientists, researchers, research staff, technicians and professional degree graduates, as well as providing funding for laboratories and scientific equipment.
(b) The purpose of the Legislature in enacting this article is to establish a state fund to be administered by the Higher Education Policy Commission to address the findings outlined in subsection (a) of this section. The fund will make public moneys available to the state's two doctoral-granting public research universities
and any state land grant higher education institution
to match qualified private donations and qualified private donation pledges thereby creating an incentive for donors to support certain priority areas of study consistent with each participating institution's long-range strategic plan for research. Creation of this fund promotes strategic private donations targeted to specific areas of research and creates a sustainable source of funding for research initiatives that are critical to achieving long-term goals including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) Research-based economic development and economic diversification; and
(2) Increased potential for patenting, licensing and related technology transfer and commercialization of scientific and technological research in the state.

Arsenal.com's International Watch reports back to base on those who have temporarily swapped the red of Arsenal for the colours of their national sides. Read on for the latest news...
Nicklas Bendtner
Northern Ireland 2-1 Denmark, November 17, Denmark 3-0 Iceland, November 21
A second goal in five days for Nicklas Bendtner set Denmark on their way to comfortable 3-0 win over Iceland. Former Newcastle man Jon Dahl Tomasson and then Thomas Kahlenberg rounded off the scoring as the Danes finished an inconsistent campaign on a high. Arsenal's striker was withdrawn six minutes from the end having assisted with the final goal, and will return to the Club in very good spirits.
Macedonia 2-0 Croatia , November 17, England 2-3 Croatia, Nov 21
Eduardo did little to endear himself to the English public as his Croatian side tore England apart in the opening 14 minutes at Wembley. First Niko Kranjcer's short squirmed past the hapless Scott Carson in the Englishman's competitive debut and then Ivica Olic converted a fine pass from Arsenal's front man. The hosts responded well in the second half with goals from Frank Lampard and Peter Crouch, but substitute Mladen Petric rifled home 13 minutes from time to send Croatia through as group winners and England out.
Cesc Fabregas
Spain 3-0 Sweden, November 17, Spain 1-0 Northern Ireland, November 21
Northern Ireland's feint hopes of reaching Euro 2008 were dashed in Spain on Wednesday night. Cesc Fabregas was hugely impressive for the hosts in the opening period, picking astute passes from midfield and even stinging the goalkeeper's hands with a long-range effort. He was substituted just after the restart shortly before Xavi grabbed the game's only goal on 52 minutes.
William Gallas, Bacary Sagna, Lassana Diarra, Mathieu
France 2-2 Morocco, November 16, Ukraine 2-2 France, November 21
An already-qualified French side ended the campaign with an enthralling 2-2 draw in the Ukraine. William Gallas and Lasanna Diarra both completed 90 minutes in a match that saw Premier League stars past and present find the back of the net. First Liverpool's Andriy Voronin scored but Thierry Henry and then Sidney Govou gave the French a half-time lead before Chelsea's Andriy Shevchenko levelled the scores just after the break.
Lukasz Fabianski
Poland v Belgium, November 17, Serbia 2-0 Poland, November 21
Lukasz Fabianski was handed a rare start for Poland as they secured top spot in Group A with a 2-2 draw in Belgrade. The result ended the hopes of Serbia who, despite rallying strongly in the second-half, crashed out of the tournament as Portugal went through. Rafal Murawski and Radoslaw Matusiak scored for the Poles before goals from Nikola Zigic and Danko Lazovic earned a share of the spoils.
Alexander Hleb
Albania 2-4 Belarus, November 17, Belarus 2-1 Holland, Nov 21
Belarus were out and Holland already through, so the game in Minsk offered little by way of significance. However goals from Vitali Bulyga and Vladimir Korythko in the second half, after Alex Hleb had been withdrawn at the interval, meant the hosts claimed a 2-1 victory over the much-favoured Dutch. Rafael van der Vaart grabbed a late consolation for Marco van Basten's team.
Peru v Brazil, November 18, Brazil 2-1 Uruguay, November 21
Gilberto came through another 90 minutes for Brazil as they recovered from an early set-back to defeat Uruguay 2-1 in Sao Paulo. Sevilla's Luis Fabiano, who is likely to line-up against the Gunners in next week's Champions League match, grabbed a brace for the Brazilians after Sebastian Abreu had netted inside 10 minutes for the visitors.
Jens Lehmann
Germany 4-0 Cyprus, November 17, Germany 0-0 Wales, November 21
Jens Lehmann has played 180 minutes of football with his country during this international break without conceding a goal. The German stopper is trying to force his way back into the Arsenal starting line-up and his recent performances will have done him no harm. Wales, playing simply for pride, did just that as they ended a disappointing campaign with arguably their best performance.
Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue
Angola 2-1 Ivory Coast, November 17, Ivory Coast 6-1 Qatar, November 21
Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue were in the Ivory Coast squad which dished out a 6-1 thrashing of Qatar. Chelsea's Salomon Kalou netted a hat-trick and Abdulkader Keita grabbed a brace. An own goal midway through the second half completed the rout.
Theo Walcott, Matthew Connolly
Portugal Under-21 1-1 England Under-21, November 20
Theo Walcott earned that rare thing - the praise of opposition supporters - after an impressive display for England Under-21s in Portugal. Chants of 'Theo, Theo' were heard among the home fans as the Arsenal forward tormented the Portugal defence with his pace and trickery. Adelino Vieirinha fired the hosts ahead from the penalty spot and Walcott went close before Adam Johnson equalised with a volley from Joe Mattock's long throw. Walcott, operating as a lone striker in a depleted England side, forced a fine save from Ricardo Batista after another mazy run as the visitors finished strongly. Arsenal defender Matthew Connolly was an unused substitute. The 1-1 draw leaves England six points clear of Portugal at the top of Group Three with a place at Euro 2009 well within their reach.
Tomas Rosicky
Czech Republic 3-1 Slovakia, November 17, Cyprus 0-2 Czech Republic, November 21
With the Czech Republic guaranteed a place at Euro 2008, Tomas Rosicky was relieved of his duties with his country and returned to Arsenal earlier this week. He would have happily watched on though as Daniel Pudil and Jan Koller netted in a 2-0 win over Cyprus that assured top spot for Karel Bruckner's team.

Can I right-click without my mouse?
If you are a good typist, you probably find it annoying to hop constantly between the keyboard and your mouse. I find it irritating and I'm not even that great of a typist! So, here are a couple of ways to help keep your fingers safely at the keyboard.
Here's a trick for generating a "right-click" from your keyboard. Make sure your cursor is where you want it and hit Shift+F10 at the same time. You can then use your arrow keys to select the menu option you need (hit Enter once you have made the selection).
Since the most common task for a right-click is to copy a selection of text (something normally done with a mouse), it would appear that the above tip is fairly worthless. However, I wouldn't put in a tip like that, now would I??
To make the above tip more useful, you'll need to know how to select text with your keyboard. Fortunately, that's easy enough; just use your arrow keys while holding down the Shift key.
Who needs a mouse anyway??
~ Steve


text: MTA turns out for Day of Action About 300 union members and allies rallied in Boston on April 4 as part of a nationwide Day of Action to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King Jr. Tracey Pratt, a special education teacher from Cambridge (pictured below with MTA President Paul Toner), addressed the rally. [Watch Tracey Pratt's speech on YouTube.] I stand before you today because I believe in the power of collective bargaining. The voice of educators must be heard. We must be at the table when decisions about the future of our students and our schools are made. It is key to the future success of our education system. We are assembled here today to demand an end to attacks on workers like us and our civil rights. As we stand here today, let us remember the voices of those who fell yesterday, fighting for some of these very rights. We can never forget the past because if we do we are condemned to repeat it! So never forget that exactly 100 years ago on March 25, 1911, the voices of Ida Pearl, Jennie Franco, Mary Goldstein and 143 other young garment workers were silenced as they burned or jumped to their deaths in New York's Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Although their voices were ignored prior to the tragedy, their cries from the grave caused unions like the International Ladies Garment Workers to organize in record numbers and engage women in politics and other union issues, forcing municipalities to set higher standards for working conditions and improve safety in factories. Never forget February 1, 1968, the voices of Echol Cole and Robert Walker spoke no more as these two sanitation workers were crushed to death in the back of a trash truck while trying to escape a torrential downpour in Memphis, Tennessee. Their deaths were the last straw for 1,300 black fellow sanitation workers in Memphis who tried to use their voices to get better working conditions and fair wages. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. heard the voices of the striking workers and not once, but twice tried to lead a peaceful demonstration to honor the fallen men and to help those on strike with their cause. Rest assured that we will never forget 43 years ago today on April 4, 1968, at 6:01 p.m. a shot rang out at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, silencing the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King, the night before he was to march with the striking sanitation workers. They Killed the Dreamer…They Killed the Dreamer…But they couldn't kill his dream and they couldn't silence his movement. So today, we stand united as one voice to honor Dr. King and those workers who died on their jobs as a result of poor, unsafe working conditions. We stand united as one voice in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Wisconsin who are losing their right to bargain collectively and with our neighbors in New Hampshire and Maine who are under constant attack by antiunion organizations. Educators: We stand united as one voice in the belief that all children can learn and to let local, state and federal government know that they must include teachers in the decision making process with regard to education reform. We stand united as one voice to serve notice on rightwing, antiunion politicians and their supporters: Your negative rhetoric will not silence our voices. You will not take away the collective bargaining rights of working men and women. To quote Dr. King the night before he died, "We're not worried about anything. …We're not fearing anyone." Because We Stand United as One Voice! Day of Action rallies were also held in Fall River, New Bedford, Springfield, Greenfield and North Adams. More photos from the Boston rally are available on our Flickr page and Boston and other locations on our Facebook page . If you didn't make it to a rally on April 4, you can still participate in the virtual rally to protect collective bargaining. Also this week: April 7, 7 p.m."Are Unions Good for Schools and the Community?" A forum sponsored by the Brookline Educators Union. [MORE] April 14, 4 p.m."Mobilize to Restore the American Dream and a Fair Economy for Working Families." This event will take place in the Boston Financial District; the exact location has yet to be announced. The rally is sponsored by the Greater Boston Labor Council, the MTA and many others. For information, contact Rich Rogers, GBLC, 617-723-2360 or firstname.lastname@example.com. We are also asking all MTA members to sign on to NEA's new member advocacy page, www.educationvotes.org. This website offers you detailed information about "We Are One" actions nationwide and other events and activities that NEA members can participate in to support our education agenda across the nation.

Secondly after seeing how many of have made your own helmets I was hoping for some help in making my own. What I want to do is build a fett helmet to protect my brains and I also want to run two really flat speaker drivers in it and run a wrieless headset antenna up the "scope" of the helmet. That way I can shred like the bounty hunter I am. I may do the same with trooper helmets, depending on how this goes.
