Memories of "Jeep" Burn Bright, 25 Years After His Passing
April 30, 2012
Dave Feitl had a lot to look forward to on May 2, 1987.
With his rookie year in the NBA winding down, Feitl's Houston Rockets were set to open the Western Conference Semifinals at home against the Seattle Supersonics. The Rockets had fostered a 42-40 record during the regular season, but were riding a wave of momentum after upsetting third seed Portland, 3-1 in the first round.
Feitl also eagerly awaited a visit from his former college teammate, Hernell "Jeep" Jackson. Feitl and Jackson had played together for three seasons at UTEP (1983-86), and Jackson was about to embark on a pro career of his own.
The Carson, Calif. native had recently been chosen by the Philadelphia Aces in the United States Basketball League draft. But after a breakout senior year with the Miners - supplying the heart and soul for a 25-7 team - Jackson was getting looks from the big boys.
"Bill Fitch, the coach of the Rockets, had talked to me the previous week about Jeep," Feitl said. "They were thinking about drafting him, because they had aging point guards at the time. The Rockets ownership really liked the way Jeep played, and they were asking me about his character.
"Jeep was going to be flying down to see me in Houston that weekend."
But Jackson never made it.
On May 2, he was scheduled to play in a benefit basketball game at Fort Bliss Logan Heights Fitness Center with two other ex-Miners and four members of the NFL's Houston Oilers.
In the opening minutes of the game, he was the same old Jeep, bringing his infectious smile and spirit to both ends of the floor. Then something terrible happened.
Jackson sat down on the bench at approximately 2:55 p.m., then collapsed. An ambulance arrived shortly after, and paramedics tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him. Jackson was taken to Beaumont Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 4:09 p.m.
"As I was getting home, the phone rang, and someone from El Paso told me that Jeep had died," Feitl said. "Then I checked the messages on my answering machine, and there was a message from Jeep. He said `Hey big boy, I'm coming down to Houston ... come get me. I'm looking forward to seeing you.'
"It was eerie and sad at the same time."
It was also impossible to believe, how someone with so much energy, enthusiasm and vitality could be gone at age 23.
Coach Don Haskins was so devastated by Jackson's passing that he couldn't summon the courage to notify his parents. Instead, he asked his former assistant coach, Tim Floyd, to deliver the horrible news.
Floyd had just completed his first year as the head coach at Idaho.
"It's still one of the most difficult things that I have ever had to do," Floyd said of the phone call he made to Vivian Jackson.
"Coach Haskins asked me to call her because he couldn't reach down deep enough to find it in him. He was so upset about the loss of Jeep."
Weeks later, autopsy reports showed that birth defects in his heart caused Jackson's death. The abnormalities had gone undetected while Jackson was playing 2,862 minutes in 124 games for the Miners over four seasons.
The Miners posted a 101-27 record in those four years, part of an unprecedented run to seven straight NCAA Tournaments. They won the Western Athletic Conference regular season title every year with Jackson on the roster.
Jackson raised his scoring average from 1.9 points as a freshman to 5.1 as a sophomore, 7.5 as a junior and 12.9 as a senior. He collected 313 assists and 165 steals in his UTEP career, numbers that rank seventh and fourth in the Miner record book to this day.
Statistics, however, only begin to tell the story of Jackson's contributions to UTEP basketball.
"He was the epitome of what coach Don Haskins was all about," said Tim Hardaway, who played two seasons with Jackson (1985-87). "He was a hard worker. He went out there and led by example, and taught you what coach was trying to say.
"He was a beautiful human being. He wanted everybody to excel. He never had any arguments with anyone. He was just an easy-going, lovable person."
"He was more of a friend than anything - a guy you could count on, on and off the court," said Mike Richmond, Jackson's teammate for three years (1984-87). "He was just someone who loved people. He loved putting a smile on everybody's faces. He just loved to have fun."
Jackson always found the appropriate balance between playing, practicing, studying and having a good time.
"He was the hardest and most disciplined worker when it came to playing basketball and partying," said Wayne Campbell, a Miner from 1982-88. "Nobody was going to party harder than Jeep. There were times where we'd break curfew and be out partying until three or four in the morning, knowing we had practice at the crack of dawn. But who would be the guy to get us out of bed the next morning? We needed Jeep to pull that off. And we were never late for practice."
After earning limited playing time as a freshman, Jackson began to assert himself as a sophomore during the 1984-85 season. He backed up Luster Goodwin at point guard and also saw extensive minutes at off-guard. He scored 15 points in UTEP's 87-81 win over San Diego State in El Paso. The Miners and the Aztecs tied for first place in the WAC standings that year with 13-5 records.
As a junior in 1985-86, Jackson dished out a career-high 115 assists, while serving as a mentor to the freshman Hardaway.
"Tim wouldn't have had the ambition to take his game to the next level without Jeep forcing him to work on his game after practice," Campbell said. "That's not an easy task when you have a three-hour practice, and coach Haskins ran all of the energy out of us.
"That's just the kind of character that Jeep had. He was our starting point guard. He was helping the guy that wanted his job. Now who does that?"
Jackson added 108 assists as a senior, while tying for team-high scoring honors. He scored a total of 39 points in his last two college games, both in the NCAA Tournament - a 98-91 overtime win over Arizona (23 points) and an 84-82 loss to Iowa (16 points), both in Tucson. Jackson recorded five steals, a UTEP NCAA Tournament record, versus the Hawkeyes.
"He was definitely going to be a first or second round draft pick. That's the game he had," Richmond said. "He loved the game of basketball, and loved playing for the Miner fans more than anything."
"I think he would've made a hell of a pro," Feitl said. "I played with Kenny Smith and Tim Hardaway, and Jeep had the right combination of athletic ability and being coachable."
"He had tremendous heart, tremendous swagger and tremendous confidence," Floyd said. "He had a great smile and he was a great, great player. He was the guard that we really needed to affect winning. We had great bigs, great twos and great threes prior to his arrival. But we always came up a little bit short. It's not coincidental that after Jeep arrived, the string of conference championships and NCAA Tournament teams began."
Jackson touched Campbell's life to such a great extent that he named his son Landon Hernell Campbell.
"He will always be a part of my life, no matter what," Campbell said. "I'm fortunate that I was able to spend four years with him."
"I seems incredible that it has been 25 years," Floyd said. "You remember his giant personality like it was yesterday. His spirit and enthusiasm really rubbed off on our crowds. He was such a hustler and such a winner. He made it easy for our fans to stand up and cheer."
While his former teammates and coaches remember Jeep a quarter-century after his passing, Richmond imagined a future where he was still here.
"I think he would have done a lot of basketball camps and clinics in El Paso," he said. "He would have been involved with a lot of stuff. You would have seen a lot more ex-players coming back. We probably would've been around coach Haskins a lot more [before his death in 2008]. I can see Jeep on the phone now saying `Yo, let's go.'
"He would've been an even bigger cat now than he was back then."

Re: beard magic!
Cool. I went and bought some silly T just so I could vote for this one.
So if it doesn't make the top ten, are we still able to buy it somehow?
I have a red-beard, lol. I need something to show my mom to prove it's magical next time I go over and she says the same thing she says everytime I go over (when are you gonna shave that all off?!?). LOL
Re: In magic skies
I like the drawing a lot, but with color, this could be epic!
Re: Tide goes in, tide goes out. MAG(net)IC
You can't explain that! Haha, great title.
Re: AbracadabrAAAAHHHH
This is absolutely spectacular-- there's a lot of stiff competition in this derby, but I seriously hope this prints!
Re: How to levitate a llama
Your style and characters are wonderful! And I like hte faded coloring.
Re: Finders Keepers...
Your daughter does have terrific promise. Definitely encourage her to learn more skills, with paper, and with the software. She has a good grasp on composition - I especially love how the dragon's tail wraps around the leg.
BTW, I didn't see if anyone commented on your scanning issue, other than suggesting tracing paper.
When I scan a drawing, I set it to 300dpi, then desaturate it so it's just grayscale, and the background is pure white. I beef up the lines in PS if they need it, then I select by color and copy just the linework onto a new transparent canvas. This isn't 100% foolproof - for some reason I lose opacity in the lines and have to re-fill them. But that's quicker than having to erase all that gray!
KevinSGreen wrote:Parody, by whatever definition you care to ascribe, is not required according to the the derby blurb and is therefore irrelevant.
To quote: "That's why for this Derby we want to see your interpretations of magic: its power, its effects on people and nature, or maybe just your favorite magic trick. Conjure up some images that invoke power, showmanship, and mysticism."
I'd say Tim definitely falls into the showmanship category if nothing else.
Parody is required by law for use of intellectual property for profit. If this shirt is made and Monty Python decides to sue, woot would have to prove that there is some form of parody and this shirt makes some kind of statement that the original creators would not have been comfortable with. Woot would lose that battle pretty quickly.
AS stated many many many many many many times before, parody is a defense. IP is property and the burden of proof is on the party creating the derivative work not the license owner.

Excellent advice! Thank you. I'll be sure to do this next time.
Last night I was playing around with halftones, and now have a very basic grasp of them. I'm actually starting to get excited about future entries, and am certain I will improve my speed on formatting her drawings with each subsequent entry. Your advice will certainly help me do so.
I may request a partnership at some point, but for now I think I want to continue learning this on my own. It never occurred to me to teach my daughter about PS, but I can do that, too, as I increase my knowledge. Many thanks to Spiritgreen for his/her tutorial on halftones (it was far better than anything I found in my 5+ books on Photoshop!) at http://shirt.woot.com/Forums/viewpost.aspx?PostID=4382556&PageIndex=6&ReplyCount=252#post4384363.
Yeah, you see alot of Gandalfs but this is the only elf I'm aware of. Very cool!
This feels like a cross between the Neverending Story and the ghost seen on Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Re: Magical Cube of Evil
This is awesome on many levels
I love this picture! This is possibly the ONLY shirt on this derby I'd actual buy. And good luck, I've had fun racing you to the top!
Re: The Weasel and the Owl
I looove this shirt! I want it so bad.
I agree, sometimes it's so hard to tell a joke with a picture and you've done an excellent job.
Re: Grimoire Ver 2
This is phenomenal. Easily my favorite shirt in this derby. I really hope this prints.

I will take that as a complement.
By the way, if you have never read the book The Neverending Story, you should. It is amazing.

I think that qualifies. As a fellow Minnesotan (with a red beard) I think anyone who can survive our winters should be an honorary Scandinavian. Plus, it's perfect for Vikings games!
This is really cute. :D
Great colours and design, I'd buy it. :-)
Re: Imagination Magic
I would definitely buy this shirt if it won!
firewallender wrote:Great colours and design, I'd buy it. :-)
Thanks! :D
I liked this shirt better when I saw the closeup view of just the wizard and the cards. With the other stuff it's just too busy.
I WILL buy this once it wins. (It will win won't it?)
Oh crap I NEEEEEED this!
Beard magic is freaking amazing, can easily take out all forms of elemental magic, and dare i mention The Killing Course too?
Unstoppable this man is!
Please vote and help make this shirt print.

I love this design! The dragon, wizard, fairy, mermaid, and unicorn are all great! I like the water droplets coming out from the mermaid.
Also, great idea to have it all come from a book. I can think of at least 6 people that this would make a great gift for. I would definitely buy a few if this one wins!

Thank you. That part was a real struggle. I kept trying to figure out how to make it look nice with a limited palette.

no, I still don't see it.

Wait, is it just me or are the elf's thumbs on the wrong side of each hand? With hands in those positions, the thumbs should be on the far side, not facing the viewer.

{last updated November 1st, 2012}
This Windows and Mac guide will teach you how to jailbreak various devices using redsn0w 0.9. The current version of redsn0w 0.9 is 0.9.15b3. Note this is an UNTETHERED JAILBREAK, meaning you can reboot your phone just like you normally would.
This guide should be used with the following device/firmware combinations (if you're not sure, here's how to find your iOS firmware version and how to find your iOS device type):
- iPhone 3G | 4.3.4
- iPhone 3GS | 4.3.3
- iPhone 3GS | 4.3.4
- iPhone 3GS | 4.3.5
- iPhone 3GS | 5.0
- iPhone 3GS | 5.0.1
- iPhone 4 | 4.2.9
- iPhone 4 | 4.2.10
- iPhone 4 | 4.3.3
- iPhone 4 | 4.3.4
- iPhone 4 | 4.3.5
- iPhone 4 | 5.0
- iPhone 4 | 5.0.1
- iPad 1 | 4.3.3
- iPad 1 | 4.3.4
- iPad 1 | 4.3.5
- iPod touch 3G | 4.3.4
- iPod touch 3G | 4.3.5
- iPod touch 4G | 4.3.4
- iPod touch 4G | 4.3.5
- iPod touch 4G | 5.0
- iPod touch 4G | 5.0.1
If you prefer the fuller version of this guide with pictures, click here for OS X or here for Windows.
Alright, let's get started. First thing you'll need to do is download redsn0w 0.9.15b3 for your operating system - the OS X version is at mod.my/redsn0wmac0915b3 and the Windows version of is at mod.my/redsn0wwin0915b3. Double-click the zip file to unzip it, and open the redsn0w folder to see the redsn0w icon.
- Making sure your device is connected, double-click redns0w to launch it. You will see the redsn0w home screen - press the Jailbreak button.
- Before you do anything on the next screen, power off your device by pressing and holding the sleep button (the button on the top) until the slide to power off screen comes up. Slide to power off.
- Alright, NOW you can press Next on the redsn0w page which tells you to power off your device. NOTE: redsn0w will IMMEDIATELY ask you to press and hold the sleep button on the device, then continue holding it while pressing the home button, then continue holding the home button while letting go of the sleep button. Make sure your device is in your hands before pressing Next in redsn0w.
- After successfully following the prompts of holding buttons down (this is entering DFU mode for the device), redsn0w will tell you it is Exploiting with limera1n. You can now let go of the home button on your device.
- redsn0w will go through a few screens, telling you it is waiting for a reboot, then popping up a new window with various status messages as it jailbreaks your device.
- Once that is done, you'll be shown a screen asking what you'd like to do. The default action (which we'll be doing in this guide) is to Install Cydia. You're welcome to check any other boxes you'd like, but please only do so if you know what you're doing. Press Next when you've selected your choices.
- redsn0w will now tell you Uploading ramdisk, which will take a few seconds, and then say Done! Once it says Done! it is safe to close redsn0w, as the rest of the jailbreak process will happen on the device itself.
- Your device will now scroll a bunch of command line messages as the jailbreak completes. After a minute or so of the scrolling text, you will see the pwnapple logo with some more status updates (the final step before your jailbreak is complete).
- That's it! You're now holding a jailbroken device. Not too bad, eh?

Thanks and kudos for the great website and forums. Boba Fett's always been my favorite Star Wars character.
Truth be told, though, I didn't come hear on account of Boba Fett, but rather because Dented Helmet has some of the best message strings about authentic Joker gear. Hope that doesn't get me disqualified.
In any case, thanks for being here. And thanks to everybody else for the great Joker links and info.


text: I bet that if you ask they will say sure. If I found hidden swarm traps around one of my yards I'd be thinking "sneaky little so-and-so" but if someone were to come to me and ask politely I would say "sure, I'd rather you get them than loose them to the bushes".There's no way you can keep every hive from swarming (although you try). If I'm not setting traps at my own yards why not let someone who really wants the bees try?Scott

Welcome to our 2013-14 season
Baroque Northwest is pleased to share with you our fifteenth season of innovative concerts. Our unique programs will focus primarily on music written between 1650 and 1750 that features historical flutes, lutes, and basso continuo. For our program of Baroque music from New Orleans and New France the concert includes sacred and vernacular vocal music. You'll get to see how the two came together in colonial Louisiana.
Concert descriptions may be found here. All events are held at Trinity Parish Church, in the Parish Hall.
This year we are joind by Montreal-based cellist (and Seattle native) Elinor Frey. Elinor has been hailed as an "Impeccable cellist" by Montreal's La Presse, "A superb cellist" by the Syracuse Post-Standard, and an "unquestionable and robust talent" by the Giornale di Brescia. Her Baroque CD, titled La voce del violoncello, was released in 2013 on the Belgian label Passacaille.
Our other guest artist this season is mezzo-soprano Janene Nelson. An Oregon native, Janene's performances have been described as "gorgeously sung." She has performed throughout the Pacific Northwest in operatic, orchestral, chamber music, recital, and choral settings. Dr. Nelson is on the voice faculty at Western Oregon University and lives in Eugene, Oregon, with her two children.

Bipolar Disorders
Bipolar (BP) disorder, also known as "mood swings," is a mood disorder that is characterized by recurrent periods of depression and interspersed by brief periods of elevated mood consisting of increased energy and drive, rapid or sharper thoughts, increased involvement in professional or social activities, a sense of well being and a "can do" feeling, and a decreased need for sleep. Sometimes individuals may experience extreme talkativeness, irritability, over-enthusiasm, over-spending, or boundless energy during these "high" periods. The more mild form of this disorder is called BP type II disorder, while the more severe form is called BP type I (or manic depressive) disorder. BP type II disorder is often difficult to diagnose and is often thought to be recurrent depression. It is much more common than BP type I disorder.
In addition to the symptoms noted above, individuals with BP type I disorder may also have feelings of extreme energy, creativity, and euphoria - that they can achieve almost anything. Individuals experiencing a BP I "high" episode may talk a mile a minute, need very little sleep, and over-engage in pleasurable activities. They often over-spend or put themselves into debt, feel easily angered, have rapid changes in mood, or feel like they are invincible or destined for greatness. Many individuals with BP I disorder say that they enjoy these "high" feelings, and will turn to stimulants or street drugs to try to maintain or recreate these episodes - without much success. Individuals with BP I disorder often exhibit reckless behavior including excessive gambling, excessive spending, or engaging in risky pleasurable or sexual activity. These individuals often become easily angered or irritable with anyone who criticizes their behavior.
On the other hand, individuals with BP type II disorder never have extreme "high" periods, but instead suffer mainly from depression. BP type II disorder affects nearly 2.5% of the US adult population. Individuals with BP type II disorder generally report depressive symptoms beginning in adolescence or teenage years. These episodes often interfere with schoolwork, professional activities, and social and personal relationships. Most individuals with BP type II disorder spend the majority of time in the depressed phase which is associated with high rates of substance abuse, alcoholism, job loss, marital discord, and divorce.
The treatment of BP type I disorder with mood stabilizer medication is now established. However, the treatment of BP type II disorder remains a challenge for clinicians. In this regard, while mood stabilizer therapy is also currently recommended for individuals with BP type II depression, there is reason to believe that antidepressant medications (which are often avoided in BP type I disorder) could be effective for BP type II disorder. Studies of BP type I and BP type II disorder presently being conducted on the DRU at Penn are advancing the field in its understanding of the best treatment approaches for these disorders.

Pirate I got a question I hope you have some advice for.
I just started messing with my kit & receiver, I got the receiver stub off the barrel and was comparing the barrel to the receiver. I got a Vector receiver and the barrel hole is about .090" smaller then the OD of the barrel.
I really don't want to turn that much off the barrel, unless I have to.
Do you have any suggestions how to open up the receiver hole any more?
My mill isn't big enough and I don't see anyway to use the lathe.

Arsenal face a tough trip to Greece to take on Olympiacos in the Champions League, and are 4/3 with GunnersGaming to return with three points.
Arsène Wenger's side sealed qualification by beating Montpellier last time out, but need to better Schalke's result if they are to top Group B.
Lukas Podolski netted against Olympiacos when Arsenal beat triumphed 3-1 in the reverse fixture. He also scored in the last Champions League game against Montepellier and is 6/1 with GunnersGaming to open the scoring in this, and 15/8 to net anytime.
The last five meetings between the two sides have averaged of 2.8 goals per game, and that makes over 2.5 goals well worth considering at odds of 11/13.
The last three games have also seen both sides get on the scoresheet, and it's 3/5 that they do so again.
*Odds correct at time of writing.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks again Rick427. I have been as quick as 9.70's rowing gears, and now going after the 8.69 that is currently (last I checked) the quickest T56/LS1.
I drive a 5.3 Suburban, and this trans shifts (under normal acceleration) no different than the Camaro I just wrapped up. Again, under more aggressive throttle, shifts clean up and more defined.
Thanks for all your input.
I went with a Monster rebuild kit with a looser converter (stall speed @ 2800) from Monster, and was very happy with how complete the kit was. I mean it had EVERYTHING in it as for as Teflon rings, seals, gaskets, O-rings, Alto Reds clutches...it even had the trans cooling line retaining clips, bushings, etc...
Thanks guys
But yes, I took EVERY solenoid out, cleaned it with brake cleaner, soaked with clean ATF, and cleaned them again. Still gonna do new electronics/solenoids later on.
|rick 427
|Yes,it's typical....depending on what type of trans you're doing,some kits installed you'll say ''wow,thats sweet'',after a road test,and others,ya wonder why you went thru the trouble installing it.Bottom line tho,they all ''clean up' the shifts at the very least ,and make the trans more durable,even if you don't feel a significant change in shift feel,it still has a better shift quality..it's kinda hard to explain..Welcome to the world of automatics!!
I just wanted to make sure, that the improvements I did, the results we are seeing, are typical.
If you read the kit, and it says, "Heavy duty" spring this, and "heavy duty" spring that, I was expecting a lot more firm of shifts than what we are getting. But, if that is typical with a 4L60E, then Im ok with it.
Thanks for your reply.
Well, I understand the difference in all of that, and what an auto does street/strip. I've been at this for 25+ years, but just got into re-doing auto's.
I was just under the impression, that with this kit, the shifts were gonna be a lot more crisp than what they are.
Again, I'm a manual trans guy, and been doing those for years (currently going after the T56/LS1 ET record) and really haven't messed with many auto's, for the street anyways. I've run some Powerglides in some of my cars, C4's...but for most part, I have been a Tremec, Doug Nash, Jericho manual tranny guy..banging gears.
|rick 427
|Remember...street application trans reprogramming kits are not designed for firm or crisp shifts...hard shifts on street cars are not good for the whole driveline.....these kits are made to reduce overlap between shifts, and to make upgrades in areas that makes the trans more durable,which will give you a 'positive' shift,meaning you know when it changes gears...Yes,there is a difference between a 'positive',and a 'firm' shift...if you got that,then everything is right....Factory transmissions are designed for smoothness[slight overlap between shifts] so the happy new car buyer can't even feel them shift,in turn,giving them the smooth ride they want and expect,but in many cases,to their surprise,a shorter trans life.I cant tell you how many customers came back to me asking me why,after a rebuild, they can now ''feel'' the trans shifting,where before they didn't. I tell them this same scenerio. Hope this helps.
Also, I did reuse the stock plastic 1-2 acc. I know it can crack, but didn't know that until trans was almost together, and was trying to get trans back in car for customer.
Does that 1-2 accumulator have a REAL bad rep? Or, will it survive?
Well, Trans is back in car, and so far so good. Shifts a little softer than I hadf thought it would to be honest. I had picked up the "shift improvement kit", did all the necessary stuff:
Drilled a .073 hole in the pressure reg valve in oil pump
Replaced outer press reg spring
Replaced the converter control switch valve, and new springs
Replaced forward clutch accumulator spring
Replaced 4-3 return spring
Ground 1/8" off piston retainer seat
Replaced servo cushion spring
Installed steel orfice plug in 3-4 accumulator bore
Changed out springs in the 1-2 accumulator
Drilled out separator plate in all the places mentioned (8 places in all)
Left out the #6 check valve in valve body
Turned adjustment screw on force motor 1/4 turn
Also, I DID leave out the load release springs as well. Some say leave em in, most say leave em out. I left them out.
ON light throttle, shifts are hardly even noticeable. I mean, you know they take place, but very wimpy like if you ask me (basically shifts just like a stock trans does) However, you get in the throttle some, around half throttle, and shifts clean up some and are much more firm. We haven't done any full throttle blasts yet (been raining here) so, guess we will see.
Trans works, and all of that, and Im happy with that of course, but thought with all the "improvements" in trying to firm up the shifts, it would've shifted much more firm and crisp.
Any idea's, or is what I am explaining pretty typical of the 4l60e?
|Yeah I did all the bushings and thrust bearings. No new sun shell, no. Did the input drum. Basically the 3/4 clutches and steels were wiped out, and the band and drum were toast. It appears to have been short lived, because as bad as the clutches were (and they were bad!) the fluid and everything was actually fairly decent.
|New sun shell? New bushing in the pump,reverse input drum & the one that goes in the tail shaft housing?
|rick 427
|I assume you put in the new molded pistons in the drum,and you stated the old clutches were just worn out....and it air checks good....then button it up.I don't know if you plan on changing any solenoids in the trans,but I highly suggest you put in a new EPC,or variable force solenoid,as some call it, at least...it will save you a lot of headaches down the road. And the manifold pressure switch,[the one located just above the filter],make sure all the round screens on it are there and clean before you bolt it on the VB.
|Bueller, Bueller?
Hey guys, while we are here, I guess I do have another question. I have just recently started getting into rebuilding auto's (I specialize in manual trans rebuilds/performance upgrades to trans like the T56, TKO 500/600's, etc..).
This 4L60E didn't want to go into 3rd gear, and when it did it would slip real bad. Clutches on the 3/4 clutch pack were worn out.
Anything in particular that would've caused that? Any known problems with that 3/4 clutch pack? I upgraded with the Alto red's, changed out the spring in oil pump (bought the shift improvement kit for oil pump/valvebody), , springs in accumulator, etc...
Anything I should be looking for before I get trans ALL the way back together and in car? Thanks again guys
|OK great, thanks for reply. The ATSG manual, on the cover, says 4L60E, and inside says was updated Aug '03, so not sure why it doesn't give correct info. Oh well. Thanks for reply, and getting me back on track.
|rick 427
|The ATSG is giving the set up for the 4L60 ,not the E... On the E trans,the 2 part thin retainer plate[with legs down] and the stepped plate used on the 4L60 was replaced with the 1 piece thick plate [with the legs down],then clutch,steel,clutch,etc..... Put your new set-up together with WET clutches,air check it a few times to seat everything,and check the clearance. If you're in the .030-.060 range,you're good.

Snow Melting & De-Icing Systems
The secret to a shovel-free winter... It's the first snowfall of the season, and you're coming home after a long day. The snow is falling as hard as you've been working, and there are already two feet of snow on the ground. But instead of gassing up the snowblower or grabbing the shovel, you pull right into your driveway. And you don't need to worry about slipping on the concrete steps to your front door, because this winter, you've planned ahead and installed a complete maintenance-free snow-melting radiant heat system. And today, the sensor you installed automatically activated the system before snow and ice had a chance to accumulate on your driveway.

Yeah kevlar! This really is an epic job with textures. I like this shirt and if I actually liked s'mores, I might be lighting a fire ; )
Now this is a band I can't imagine EVER breaking up. On the other hand, their deliciousness is dangerous. They wouldn't be able to appear in public more than once or twice before someone eats them.
I loved this when I saw it, I voted for it, I thought warmer thoughts about the Doors than I have in years, and I realized how fracking old I am when I remembered how exciting it had been to discover the Doors long before they became popular.
I may be too damned old for this Tshirt.
At first I LOLed because funny. But then confused. I dunno about you but when I make s'mores my marshmallows are visibly toasted (I actually set them on fire). Why isn't this one?

There are too few pictures of the band post-formation, since they got eaten so quickly. They had to use older pictures of the band mates for this shirt, obviously.
Try explaining this one to somebody who wasn't a teenager in the 70's
This is a tasty shirt! And it really captures the Derby theme well: the font and layout are very reminiscent of concert shirts.
Way to go, Kevlar! Congratulations on the print.
Congrats Kevin, and RIP Jim S'morrison.

At least John Densmore is still with us.
The guitarist for the S'mores was great - really played some tasty licks...
At first glance, it looked like it had a long, graham cracker sleeve.
Sure, the S'mores had their meltdowns but it was only because they were Waiting For The Sun for too long
People are Strange, but I'm sure they'll Love this shirt Madly 'till The End

Quality Post!
I really want to like this.
The doors were one of the first bands I liked, discovered while going through my dad's vinyl collection as a kid. However, the graphic is just too large for my taste.
I've noticed this with some other shortwoot's as well. I'll buy a design I really like and then, when I get it home and put it on, the graphic is so large it covers the entire front of the shirt. I feel like I have a plastic billboard on my chest because heavy application of the ink they use tends to build up and stiffen the fabric.
I was fully expecting this to take first place, but second place works too.
Damn fine design kevlar!
I was a teenager in the 90s and I absolutely loved The Doors.
Congrats Kevlar!
if you are making them in the microwave they don't toast. Although, nothing compares to toasted when you have a craving you do what you gotta do.
I knew this would print, Kevin! Congrats!
Regarding the 70s comment, my son is 16, he knows exactly who The Doors are and got this reference right away. That's because his parents are giving him a well rounded music education!
krissta wrote:I was a teenager in the 90s and I absolutely loved The Doors.
I was a teenager in the 00's and I get it too. Good music never dies.
The Doors
Pink Floyd
et. al.
Bands that transcend generations in appealing to teens.

Now, may I have s'more please?!
Thanks so much everyone! And thanks Woot editors!!!!
This is the band photo for 1971's Light My Campfire Tour. How's Marshie going to be toasted if they don't have a campfire yet?
This is exactly how a parody shirt works. Great idea, funny, well executed... CONGRATS MY FRIEND!!
Felicidades Kevin! its very funny!

I'm totally late to the party, but thrilled to see this won! I voted for it, and I just bought 2! Both for me. This must stay in my camping-shirt collection for many years to come.
Nice graphics, I bought matching shirts for my son and I. After 3rd wash a hole began to appear in one of the shoulders.

Robin van Persie says Benik Afobe can pick up from where he left off after the youngster's recovery from a long-term injury.
A serious groin problem suffered in pre-season meant a six-month spell on the sidelines for Afobe but he made a goalscoring return in the Reserves' 5-0 victory over Norwich last week.
The 19-year-old was involved in Arsène Wenger's first team last summer and Van Persie believes he has all the ingredients to have a big career.
"I was delighted to see Benik come back in the Reserves last week, scoring against Norwich," Van Persie told the Official Matchday Programme.
"Six months is a long time out at his age, especially when he did really well with the first-team over pre-season and was making fast progress.
"He has returned impressively though - I watched him in training last week while I was doing my warm-down and he looked really strong and quick, a proper English striker who holds the ball up well and works very hard.
"When you are young you just want to be playing, improving your game and making your career, and he was denied that for a long time.
"To come back as he has done is tremendous - he is a fantastic lad, a really good character to have in the squad and a player I genuinely rate, so I'm really proud of him.
"He absolutely loves his football and treats it very seriously. That is the main thing for a young footballer - if you really love the game like he does then you will make it, and he has everything to become a great player."

SpaceX's Dragon Arrives at the ISS Successfully for First Official Cargo Run
Tiffany Kaiser
October 10, 2012 1:44 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Dragon arrived at the orbiting station early Wednesday morning
SpaceX's Dragon capsule successfully made it to the International Space Station (ISS) early this morning, where it will unload nearly 1,000 pounds of cargo for the next few weeks.
The unmanned Dragon capsule
set off toward the ISS Sunday night
, and arrived at the orbiting station early Wednesday morning. Astronauts on the ISS used a robot arm to securely latch the Dragon to the space station about 250 miles above the Pacific, just west of Baja California.
"Looks like we've tamed the Dragon," said Sunita Williams, ISS commander. "We're happy she's on board with us."
The Dragon's hatch will be opened tomorrow, where astronauts will begin unloading the cargo inside. Right now, Dragon contains 882 pounds of scientific experiments, groceries, clothes and other items. The capsule will return to Earth with twice as much cargo.
This week's venture to the ISS marks
Dragon's second journey to the ISS
. It originally made a test flight back in May of this year, but this particular trip marks the first official cargo run as part of a $1.6 billion contract with NASA. This contract locks SpaceX in to 12 total cargo runs to the ISS through 2015.
While today's linkup at the ISS was a successful one, the entire trip wasn't perfect. A prototype communications satellite aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket (which launched Dragon to the ISS) was sent into the wrong orbit due to one of the Falcon 9s' Merlin engines shutting down early during Sunday night's launch. Orbcomm, the company that owns the prototype OG2 satellite, said it was "deposited into a lower-than-intended orbit." The company is now analyzing whether the satellite can use its onboard propulsion system to adjust its orbit.
Aside from that malfunction, all went well for
the SpaceX mission
. Dragon is due to return to Earth near the end of October, after all cargo is unloaded and reloaded.
SpaceX, a private space transport company from California, stepped in as America's new form of transportation to the ISS after NASA retired its space shuttle fleet throughout 2011. This retirement left American astronauts with no way to get to the ISS, except onboard a Russian Soyuz rocket -- which has become pretty pricey.
It was clear that the U.S. needed a new way to send supplies to and from the ISS, and SpaceX was happy to provide its Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket.
Dragon is set to make its next cargo run for the NASA contact in January 2013.
SpaceX is also working on a Dragon capsule that can be manned by astronauts, and hopes to send the first manned Dragon to the ISS between 2015 and 2017.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

I need off roading plates for my F250. I know you can get aftermarket plates for Jeeps (diffs; tranny; gas tank). Can't seem to find them for trucks.
Any advice? (At least one serious before the diesel or Chevy boys see this).

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by FSWer, Jan 6, 2013.
Say,who do we know for Skaters that Retired in 2012? Please include Discipline.
For Canada, Cynthia Phaneuf and Myriane Samson, both retired. They skated in ladies singles.
Mary Beth Marley, Pairs in the USA.
Samuel Contesti (Italy) and Kevin Vanderperren (Belgium), men's singles.
Amanda Evora (USA), pairs.
Contesti, Ando, Lepisto, Phanuef
Ando has not officially retired, as far as I know.
FSWer, Laura Lepistö is a ladies' singles skater from Finland.
Kylie Duarte, pairs, US
Alexis Miart, ice dance, France - he just kind of... left. I think he's done with competitive skating.
Dan Zhang, pairs, China
Everyone else I can think of has been mentioned.
Ari-Pekka Nurmenkari, singles men, Finland
It's going to be sad when the 2013-14 season ends. Imagine the retirements then.
dare you no official word until now. hope dies last.
She's not "famous," but 3-time Senior Ladies champion of the Netherlands, Manouk Gijsman, announced her retirement on August 1, 2012: http://www.manoukgijsman.nl/
Her ISU bio: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00009422.htm
Oh that's too bad. I'll always remember how happy she was with her short program at 2010 worlds where she qualified to skate the free. Too bad she never reproduced that, but she will always have that moment.
Is Ian Lorello still training/competing? I thought he was working with Lauri Bonacorsi at DSC, but haven't heard/seen anything about them for a long time.
Emanuel Sandhu UNretired!
Kloe Chanel Bautista/Tyler Harris - both retired due to her injury
Davis/White, Virtue/Moir, Pechalat/Bourzat, Sav/Szol, Pang/Tong, Dai, Oda, Akiko, Mao probably, Yuna, Babou... oh dear, I'll suffer from a severe case of depression...
Thomas Sosniak, single men, France, retired in August
I'm glad they had the experience of competing in the Senior Pairs event at 2012 US Nationals!
Last I heard, Lorello may still be looking for a partner? They parted ways sometime last summer due to his injury and I believe Bonacorsi started college full-time at the Univ. of Pennsylvania.
Jordan Cowan retired last year - he was 7th in Senior Dance at 2012 US Nationals with Anastasia Olson.
Todd Gilles, who was 8th in Senior Dance at 2012 US Nationals with Emily Samuelson, also retired (for the second time).
Did Emily Samuelson also expressed her intention to retire the last summer? Not because she wanted to, but primarily because of Todd Gilles' retirement and difficulty finding another suitable partner.
I think she did, she is coaching now, IIRC.
Thanks, blue_idealist . I wish Emily the best luck.
Yeah... figure skating(and individual sports in general) are cruel that way...
We lucked out with relatively few retirements after Vancouver; at least some of the skaters mentioned might have left then. Post-Sochi will definitely be tough, even with new and exciting skaters coming up the ranks.
Here's how Emily Samuelson ended her public statement last June: http://www.facebook.com/notes/emily-samuelson/todd-and-my-end-of-partnership/10150959989667626
She is continuing her studies at the University of Michigan and coaching in her spare time.
^^ That's a real classy statement from Emily. Very admirable.

Second choice at 5-1 in the event that followed Zenyatta's triumph in the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic, Roshani's win closed out the Ultra Pick Six on the Ladies Day portion of the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Winning tickets returned $16,800.60.
New Zealand-bred Black Mamba, who had never finished worse than third in 11 previous races since coming to the United States, rallied mildly to check in seventh after trailing during much of the early running.
The winner paid $13.80, $7.40 and $6. Rosinka returned $9.60 and $7.20 while Lemon Chiffon paid $8.60 to show.
Roshani had won her only previous outing at Santa Anita when taking an allowance event last March. The 5-year-old mare's only dull career outing had come in her last start at Keeneland on Oct. 30. She ran seventh in the Grade I First Lady Stakes, beaten 11 lengths by Forever Together. Two races earlier on Friday, Forever Together had won the $2 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.
"It was a tough race for her," Pletcher said of the First Lady. "She probably needed that race, but she's run well over this course. She's a very consistent race mare."
Velazquez said his biggest concern was making the lead too early. "I wanted to wait as long as I could," he said, "because when she makes the lead too early, she waits on the other horses.
"It couldn't have turned out any better, but I thought maybe I had waited too long and that we wouldn't be able to catch them. But it worked out in the end. She ran great."
Roshani's win was worth $150,000 to owner Ron Mcelroy. The Kentucky-bred daughter of Fantastic Light's career earnings rose to $481,300.
Following Saturday's nine Breeders' Cup races that get underway at 10:10 a.m., Oak Tree will present a pair of stakes races for 3-year-olds, the $100,000 Damascus Stakes at seven furlongs and the Grade II, $150,000 Oak Tree Derby at 1 1/8 miles on turf.

How to make an Image a Link
Any image can be a hyperlink to another webpage or another website alltogether. This will allow your website's visitors to click on an image and go to a different webpage automatically. We will start using the same code as we did in the previous tutorial and build on it in this example:

Now we will make it a link. The basic tag to make something an active hyperlink is object/text to be linked. This looks very foreign to new website designers, since href is not a "word" that most people have seen before, but it is used whenever you want to create a link on your website. As with other tags, make sure that you close the  tag with the  at the end or the hyperlink will never end. For images, you will simply put the hyperlink tag before and after your image code:

The link above will make the image (image.jpg) a hyperlink to the page morepictures.html on your website.

Student artwork to be displayed in the Stephens Gallery
Release Date: 11/17/2010
Clarksville, Ark. --- Three University of the Ozarks art students will display their artwork in the university's Stephens Gallery during November and December.
Senior art major Jessie Heidelberg shows one of the pieces she will display in her exhibt, Me Defined.
Works by Jessie Heidelberg will be on display from November 29 through December 6. The exhibit, entitled Me Defined, includes paintings and sculptures Heidelberg describes as "fantasy-based self-portraits."
"I have always loved the mythical aspects of life and imagination," she said. "I chose self-portraits because I have a fascination with my appearance -- I place my image in different environments, some fantasy, some actual places. My fantasy environments are an escape into another world where the limitations of reality and daily toils don't exist. Instead wonder and enchantment exists. This is a world where anything could happen."
There will be a reception to meet Heidelberg from 7 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 2, in the Stephens Gallery.
Daydreams and Nightmares will feature work by artists Ronni Rauschenberger and Kenny Millsap. The show opens December 9 and runs through December 16.
Ronnie Rauschenberger shows one of the pieces included in her "Dreamland" art exhibit.
Described as having a "hippie" flavor, Rauschenberger's works are a mix of paintings, ceramic pieces, and sculptures. "'Dreamland' is my theme," said Rauschenberger. "It involves vivid colors – with some nature-y aspects – and things that make me happy. There's also a feminist dimension, since it involves welding and other things that girls aren't 'supposed to do'."
Millsap's work, a mixture of digital 2D pieces and sculptures, reflects a darker influence.
"The most prominent artists who have influenced my work are H. R. Giger, Jamie Hewlett and Francis Bacon," explains Millsap. "The definition of mankind is arbitrary when viewed from an evolutionary perspective. Every species is gradually changing over time, and transitioning ever so slightly. No species abruptly appears on the scene. Humans can be said to have lived on earth anywhere from a quarter to half a million years. People have not existed for even a million years. I wonder what our descendents would look like in 10 million years. My work reflects these interests."
Kenny Millsap shows two pieces that will be included in his art exhibit.
There will be a reception at the gallery for Rauschenberger and Millsap on Monday, December 13, from 7 to 8 p.m.
The Stephens Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and there is no cost for admission. For more information on the exhibit, please call the Humanities and Fine Arts Division at 479-979-1349.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks everyone I think I'm going to keep looking. The seller was not real clear about the reasoning and I think its best that I find another boat that has not be modified.
|Good point Knothead
Are Tartan 37's that rare that one would have to opt for a owner modified one? Or is it that the price is really attractive?
It seems to me that there are a glut of used sailboats on the market. I for one would opt for a boat that was well maintained in it's originally designed configuration.
If someone glassed over the centerboard because they didn't want to maintain it or because they didn't maintain it, that would signal a red flag for me.
Just adding my $.02
Glassed over centerboard wouldn't be a deal breaker for me knowing how the boat sails without it down.
If a thorough survey goes good, don't let the centerboard thing stop you. Did you ask the PO why they glassed it over? Maybe it could be undone, for all we know its because they didn't want the maintenance aspect of it? Worst case, its because the penet pipe has failed or something structural?
I am not familiar with the T31 first hand so add much, but I would think the additional size would be most appealing
I guess I'll chime in as well....Dan, I believed you also posted on the Tartan 37 website??
What I said there also echoes what Solare is saying here. I've had our T-37 for 16 years now and I can tell you, we only use our board about 5% of the time, even going to weather. Sure, the board helps out pointing, but unless you are really trying to tack through 80-85 degrees, you don't need it. Without the board we tack throu 90-95 degrees, no problem...even closer if it's blowing above ten knots. The fixed part of the keel is fairly long, about 8ft or so at the bottom, and leeway is not that noticable either and I don't think the board significantly improves leeway. This boat has a 48% ballast/displacement ratio so she's quite stable....check out the other specs and you'll see she's quite respectable.
All that said, I wouldn't hesitate buying the boat but just make sure it is priced accordingly, maybe 10K less than others of the same vintage and degree of repair?
I am guessing it is hull #2 that you are buying? This is(was)the yacht "Tigger"(later renamed), which circumnavigated and lost it's board in the Pacific and they glassed over the slot. Must not have been too bad if they continued on with their circumnavigation.
Hope this helps,

But with all that said, the T-37 is a very capable boat with or without the centerboard and I would not hesitate cruising the Caribbean in one.
Is the increased leeway due to lack of centerboard significant or minimal? Is the 5-7 degrees a big issue? Would you say that the boat is more tender without the lowered centerboard?
You would not hesitate cruising in a T37 without a centerboard? Last question, if the Phrf for a T37 averages 132 what would it be approximately without a centerboard. Just trying to get an understand just home much the performance is compromised.
Thanks for all the quick responses. I appreciate everyone taking the time. I agree with both sides to some degree. My biggest concern was stability. Do most of you agree that a glassed in centerboard will not affect the stability? I understand that the boat will not point as high without the board down, but I didn't think 5 degrees was that big of a deal. Am I right with that assumption? Does the lack of centerboard affect speed or diminish the performance on any other point of sail other than close hauled? For example, does the lack of down centerboard affect the speed or overall performance on say a beam reach? Also, will the boat roll more and be less comfortable to sail on?
One other concern I have is resale value. If I sell the boat someday prospective buyers will surely be thinking the same thing I am thinking right now. Thus hurting the chances of selling it at its suggested value or even selling it at all.
I really don't want to buy a boat where I have major repairs such as fixing a centerboard that has been glassed over, so I don't think I would do that. Plus from what I have read it is fairly expensive to restore a centerboard. Anyone have any idea how expensive this is?
|The false concept of a "guillotine board" might work on a Catalina 22, but you should research the functionality of the Tartan board before making a misleading comment like that.

Imagine a stormy night off a dangerous lee-shore and your engine fails the difference between survival and disaster is the boats ability to sail to windward off a lee shore...Which boat would you choose?

There is no way that the loss of the centerboard on a S&S designed T-37 would compromise the seaworthinesses of the vessel, be it glassed in, missing, or just not bothered to be dropped and the notion of it to "become a guillotine" during an inversion is simply ridiculous.
The majority of Hinckleys & Bristols also have centerboards, not for ballast, but as a performance boost....

Looking for info on this coupe
Hey first poster here,
I apologize if this is in the wrong section.
My dad got this coupe in a trade a few months back and I am trying to help him sell it. We are not looking to flip it for quick cash, but would prefer to get a decent offer for it.
Here are my questions..
-Is this a 34 FORD coupe? (seems chevy and ford look similar in my opinion)
-where would be a good place to list this for sale online?
-hints/tips to increase the sale price
-Any idea on a rough estimated value/what it might actually sell for?
Here are the specs:
2001 Z06 engine
All aluminum
383 hours <2500 miles
350 Cu In
700 R4 Trans
IRS and IFS suspension
Halibrand quick change rear end
383 gears
1935 ford truck diff mounted sideways
wilwood brakes and floating axle
34 tub
33 doors (no vents)
full roll bar
Dan Rink custom grill
American Racing rims
These are specs I was given... If possible, tell me if I need to explain more about certain specs or if I should ignore others.
It appears it will not allow me to insert IMG pics nor will it upload my pics on desktop so here is an album full of pics.
No pics of interior for now, but it is mint.
Thanks for any help!
It looks to me like it is neither a Ford or a Chevrolet. It looks like a fiberglass kit of some sort.
What does the title SAY ???
How would I research this? I'd start by calling Goodguys and telling them that I'm trying to chase down the builder or last owner of a chopped top coupe built in a 33/34 Ford Coupe style. Phone number is on the right side of this page. If they can't help, ask them who to call next. This car is nice enough to have been shown many times, so I'll bet someone knows something about it in the show circuit.
Good Lord, no it's not a Volkswagen or Peterbuilt either...t-max.....you have to say "is it a REPLICA 34 Ford" God forbid you offend the ...if it ain't steel it ain't real" types.
Can do it.
Is the fact that this may be "custom fiberglass" or something a good or bad thing? Id imagine its not good seeing as its not a genuine brand.
Any more info on this? My father was told this car would/should sell for 50k+ without any issues.. luckily he didnt pay anywhere near this price.
I will give goodguys a call! thank you for that info.
No pardner it's nothing against you at all, what I meant was some folks that own the "real steel" original Fords have a problem with other folks that refer to their fiberglass "kit cars" as they put it by the original manufacturer's name. Hence the term "replica" as I refer to my own '32 Victoria build, this has been going on forever.
Okay I see! And to determine whether or not this is a kit where should I look? When I am in town I will examine the car closer to see if I can find anything.
Thanks for the info!
chopped/pie cuts/etc..
good luck with the car...
maybe list it on ebay.. with a crazy hi reserve.. to see where the car bids go to.. without loosing the car.. if it gets to a point you feel is high enough(bids) you can always lower the reserve..
this give you an idea.. of what people in the market might pay.. without fear of a no reserve auction..
you'll have the choice to lower the reserve and sell or use the listing as a tool to know about what it should bring.. and go from there.
But even if it were to be cut up like my truck, chopped, sectioned and much more. The point being at least in my case, I like the real vintage car because it has a history. I can't say "original car" because that means something completely different. But I personally like the parts even to have a "history". My cars carried kids home from the hospital, you know what I mean? They went on honeymoons, vacations, drove the elderly to church or out to a dinner to, they have a history. I feel the same way about the parts, about the manuals, I want original owners manuals not reprints because I like the idea that some new car owner looked at this thing to figure out how to work his new car, I dig that thought. On the repair manual, I love the old original manuals with greasy finger prints in them where some hard working mechanic thumbed thru it to get a car back on the road years ago. They have a soul, a history. That's how I see it at least.
racingjunk.com is a very good sight to sell or trade or trade plus
cash! Our sight is already mentioned.
Steel has heart and an old soul! A lot more skill to build from steel!!! Lead work, hammer welding, Shrinking ,stretching, rolling,Etc,Etc It becomes part of the builders body and soul even if built for a customer it becomes part of you!
I do glass, and steel I know by doing both I have more pride in the steel !! But they are both nice cars when done!!!
When people buy them already done those guys argue:boxing: Any one that has built both Knows!!!!! Glass is easy! if you can mix pancake batter you can work glass!!!!
and some also forget that they have it made... drive 2 hours and tow home a 80 y/o car that is not a total rot box..
up here the steel is real. guys.. (don't want to offend anyone) but they blast the fiberglass cars.. even tho.. their car is on a t.c.i. chassis, with a 350/th350, an ididit column and billet everything.. some the body is factory.. more than most are chopped/etc .. som even bought the body already built chopped /etc all new and IN STEEL..
and roll it off a trailor a 1/2 mile from the show field and roll on in.. at 10mph and then roll back out to the box on wheels then home..
I can't see the difference.. ones fiber ones steel.. neither is real.. if real is factory.. all are cool (in my eyes anyways) but be cooler if they drove them.. and here li my beef.. why have all these speed parts and the cost if it's only gonna put in and out of a trailor..
that I just can't see..
I like them all.. but I don't like the way some treat others in this case ,the steel guys blast the fiber body guys.. the steel bodied car is no more real than the fiber one beside it thats on the same chassis and drivetrain as the real steel car..
to me there all kool.. I just don't get the build it then not use it. thing..
and is where I think the ratrod trend came from.. build it. and drive it.. tho. today even thats become over the top.. but it started with the right idea..
Remember gray bakersfields ed. on the goodguys turning away his daily driven streetrod.. but he's smile'n from the grave..
most that OWN these steel cars. you know the oem steel ones didn' build it.. so steel being harder or easier to work with is moot...
both have there place.. sadly.. the car hobby is full of high than to. types.. in every segment..
most on here would laugh at almost all imports.. the rod guys don't like the muscle guys.. the muscle guys don't like the new muscle guys..
it's somewhat sad... and all you got to do is go to a show and walk around and overhear people talking.. I really thing some go just to pick apart everyone car on the field..

Thursday 12th April 2012
There are no easy games in football, especially in the Premier League, and this statement becomes more and more accurate every year. So it was hugely important to start our visit to Molineux at a similar pace to the way we dictated against Man City on Easter Sunday.
Pre-match went very smoothly, a buffet-style Balti house playing host to our group, so we entered the stadium ever so slightly over-fed and watered! Enjoyable nonetheless.
Up at Everton a few weeks back we started the game in electric fashion and could have been two or three up. With just the one goal in the bag we had to fight extremely hard to take home the three points as the game went on.
On this occasion it was fantastic to take a two-goal lead from our early dominance.
Wolves' centre half was perhaps a tad unlucky to not only give away the penalty but also be sent off but with Theo in on goal he was a little clumsy and left the officials with little choice given the current rules. The most important thing for us of course was to make sure we took full advantage.
RVP did just that with a coolly-taken penalty and it was the just the opening we longed for.
Theo was receiving expected but unfair stick from the home support. After all there was no way he could stay on his feet for the penalty and surely their 'gripe' if any should have been with the officials.
The best way to silence the boo boys was to be part of a superb one-two with RVP before calmly slotting home to double our lead.
The Black Country folk didn't particularly like it but the thousands of travelling Gooners certainly did I can tell you! 'Theo Theo Theo Theo' echoed into the night sky and we were already in an extremely strong position with much of the game still to play.
Our hosts did everything they could to try and get back into the game including a header mid way through the second half that saw Chezz make a superb one-handed save.
Keeping possession without needing to particularly force the game a number of chances came our way in the latter stages to completely finish the game off and Yossi duly obliged.
Another job well done before we look forward to Wigan at home on Monday night.
Fighting for their lives and fresh off the back of an extremely unfortunate defeat at Stamford Bridge and a victory over Man United, we do not need any further warning that we must be at our best to continue our great run of form.
Like on any occasion when things are going well, I cannot wait!
Come on you reds.

I agree that all of the classic red flags were there. Snowing over an inch an hour, lot's of wind, plus natural avalanches were visible at various spots on the pass. Ultimately he paid with his life. You can't really ask for much more than that. Hopefully this is a learning experience.
I was at the pass on Friday and almost everyone I talked too was asking about this accident. So it is definitely in front of people's minds. Of course there was a fair number of riders out there sans gear, hopefully they won't venture into avalanche terrain...
Damn it, that sucks even worse. So reminiscent of the last death on Berthoud as that victim's avy gear was in the passenger seat of his car in the parking lot.
I hate to play Monday morning QB on this, but Jeff should've known better than to have been out on the pass in those conditions, with the avy danger where it was with a partner with no gear. Even in areas you know very well, it's easy to get a bit off track in low visibility. A bit off track in avalanche terrain can be the difference between living and dying.
You're probably right that visibility played a role here. It sounds like Jeff knew what he was doing and was trying to play it safe, but the poor visibility may have led to him getting a bit off course and into an area he didn't intend to be in.
A few things about this accident.
Lot's of little mistakes added up to taking a life.
The victim had a beacon, left it in his car. I assume this is because his partner did not have avy gear.
Evidently they were planning on riding the 7 mile trail. Which by itself is not really threatened by avalanches and is about as safe as it can get to ride. There is a 100 year path that comes down from the Mines drainage. If that one gets you in Seven Mile, well god hates you. The problem is that getting into the 7 mile trail brings you under some avy paths. There are pretty safe lines to get through this but conditions contributed to them not taking that route.
Conditions as mentioned were snowing hard and very windy. Hard to see white out at times. So visibility was an issue. From what I have seen they traversed too high when they were trying to get onto the seven mile trail. They ended up smack in the middle of the apron. A loaded face that rips a fair amount of times. Jeff's partner was able to ride out, while Jeff most likely had the rug pulled out from under him.
He was not buried deep. Most likely that he suffocated.
I am pretty sure that the slab fracture I noticed on the Apron was the one that got him after reading some of the reports. From where he was found, and where they talk about the slide, it almost certainly is. We could have done something.
This is a stark reminder as to why we carry avy gear. Better to have a gun and not need it...

|Excuse my ignorance as I have never ridden backcountry. But, technically, how does one go snowboarding with a dog? Does the dog run down the mountain as you carve down? Is the dog at the bottom waiting for the master? Is it a little dog in a back pack? I'm just trying to picture how you backcountry ride with a dog.
I don't know if they realized the danger they were putting themselves in or not. I do know that from chatting with some people that there are many people out there who would consider themselves relatively avy savvy that don't understand that you can trigger an avalanche without being on the slope itself. That it's very possible to trigger one from below without even being on the slope. This sounds like what very well could've happened in this place.
I had no clue this was possible before reading Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain. I know just enough about avalanche awareness to get myself in trouble in complicated terrain, but at least I know that.
I hate to keep talking on this one, but there is a lot that can be learned here.
CAIC has their preliminary report out.
CAIC: Colorado Avalanche Information Center
He was riding in the exact area that I thought he was. From the report from his friend, sounds like the slide released from above the cliffs. Not a good scenario. Those cliffs have a convex roll and get very wind loaded. A trained eye would instantly see this.
Avalanches just don't care if you are an expert, novice, uneducated, superhero, dog, whatever. They will take anyone and anything out that annoys them.
That sucks. With Jeff already gone, it would've been nice for a small sliver of good news to come out of this.
Unfortunately I heard this morning that the dog was also buried and killed.
My experience with the pooches in the backcountry is that they often get flushed out and not buried, but obviously that is not 100% of the time. Lighter weight, the constant swimming motion, generally keeps them on top. Riding with a dog, also makes me extra conservative when out there. I don't want to lose my best friend and putting a beacon on him is not an option. There are lines where I make my partners hold onto Cody while I drop. Then after I give the all clear they send him down. If I don't trigger a slope, it's not likely a little 50lb dog is going too. Still, that does freak me out a bit. Sound decision making skills are pretty much required if you want to ride with you dog in the bc. Unfortunately there wasn't much of this in this situation. 26 is too young to die and there are a bunch of people hurting now that he is gone. I do remember seeing Jeff on the pass here and there.
so sad, RIP.
Is it my or has there been a shit ton of deaths already this season in resorts and the backcountry?
Stay safe out there
