|Topic Review (Newest First)
Leatherman Wave on a belt pouch; great multi-tool with the 2 blades (serrated and straight) on the outside of the tool, enabling one handed opening. The serrated blade has grooves on the back of the blade so you can tell which blade is which by feel alone.
A McHenry & Williams Benchmade 710 folding knife is clipped to my pants pocket. The sharpest knife I've ever owned, it generally stays put unless I need it in an emergency.
This is my favorite knife, the Gerber Fast-Draw. I have carried a lot of other knives but this is the one I have liked the most out of all of them. It is the fastest opening knife I have had, about as close to a switchblade as you can get without actually being one, and it has a good blade with serrated edge on the back half of the blade for when you really just need to saw something. I also like the large "button" on the blade of the knife that is easy to find with your thumb, it makes reaching into your pocket and ending up with an open knife in your hand a single fluid motion. Highly recommend it, got mine at Walmart.
Sailing the north coast of the Dominican Republic and the Mona Passage we hooked a set of lines connected to mooring balls. This was a couple miles off shore.
I quickly hung out over the stern and got the line with the help of another hand. I was hooked in with jack line and one hand clinched to a lifeline. I was able to cut the line free releasing the line of mooring balls dragging.
The important thing here...
A good sailing knife from sailnet, $75. Being able to cut a line free in 8 foot seas PRICELESS.
two for me
on my inflatable pfd/harness I have a leatherman wave on the left and a spiderco rescue on the right (I am right handed).
i think that a simple knife like the spiderco is easiest to use -- and appreciate the tools in the wave when confronted with shackles, screws, bolts, etc.
i also strap a wenoka titanium dive knife (http://mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp;jsessionid=FjTLwT2jxwCh6vPv1C8s Jk9SWXwZcyGhMt54BJ3VG9hGYt5RlppL!1155804613?PRODUC T%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442542697&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302539669&bmUID=1164168715652) to the rigid vang and another to the steering pedestal.
|Morganmike. Just a quick question. Do you own any swords by chance? and if so, do they work? Just kidding, I wouldnt want to upset someone with so many weapons
|I found (literally) a SOG Seal Pup. I always buy the chepest knife I can find but now that I have an expensive knife ($120 I think) I would get another if I lost it. It's a fixed blade. Any folder is weak no matter how strong they claim to be. A survival expert once told me you should be able to stick a knife is a tree and stand on it. I though he was kidding. I am VERY hard on things like knives and this one takes it. It holds an edge for months. I oil it every once is a while and rinse it after saltwater and it never rusts. I use it sailing, at work (forest firefighter), camping, diving, everywhere. I use it as a hammer, a pry bar, a steak knife. I never thought of myself as a knife guy but this thing is freakin' sweet. I think West Marine sells them. In rough weather Spinnaker flying or any other sailing where I'm worried about people getting caught up in things I wear it on my lifejacket where I can reach it with both hands. Please don;t ever where anything let alone a knife around your neck. It seems obvious but I've seen a guy being dragged beside his boat turning blue and he can't cut himself loose cuase it's his knife lanyard that's got him fouled up.
|I got mine via their website... Several chandleries, like Fawcetts are now carrying them as well.
|Dog, where'd you get the Boye?
|The cutlery shoppe web site was very interesting. I was particularly attracted to the Falkinen Damascus steel but disappointed that it only came in the shorter bladed Idun. I was obviously oblivious to cost. I'll bet you could get a real edge on that one.
Oh goody my favorite topic!
Al Mar Nomad
Steel: VG-10
Blade Length: 3"
Weight: 3.5 oz.
Liner Lock
Scales: Textured G-10, Black
Black Anodized finish on the blade
This is my carry knife, so yes, it's my boat knife, along with my every other kind of thing knife. You only need one knife, not dozens scattered all over the boat in various potential use spots, and it should be in your pocket at all times, sharp and ready to hand.
Yes, I love it. I wouldn't carry something I didn't love. Knives are like boats that way.
Yes, it's a folder. Straight knives are illegal to carry most places. At first I didn't like the liner lock, but now I really appreaciate it: it's easy to close the knife with one hand and the liner lock provides the strongest and most robust locking design I have yet seen on a folding knife (and I own a lot of folders.) The 3" blade is shorter than I have carried for most of my life. I've always been a 4" blade man, buying the large size of any folding line (typically folders come from a given manufacturer in 1.5", 3" and 4.5" standard blade lengths.) But a 4" blade really scares the **** out of people, even when you just whip it out to cut your bagel. 3" seems less dangerous, but don't think I couldn't dice someone up if I had to - the Nomad's blade is fat and wide, with a drop point and a curved cutting edge. The VG-10 is easy to sharpen and holds an edge through quite a bit of cutting. It will cut 5/8" nylon three-strand more than a dozen times before needing to touch the edge, and it takes a new edge in three or four strokes on a smooth carborundum. Once I strop it on my jeans, it will take hair off my arm. The G-10 scales provide a comfortable, secure grip, and the handle is shaped to fit my hand.
About blunt tipped knives, let me just say this: the tradition for blunt tipped knives on ships did not arise from a excess of concern for the user's safety. Rather, before setting off on a long voyage, the crew was required to give their knives over for blunting in order to prevent them from stabbing each other to death once the confines of the ship and the company of fellow crew became untenable. Blunt tips are inconvenient when you find yourself in need of a point and with modern knives, if you blunt them yourself you stand a good chance of ruining their temper. Buy a blunt tip knife if it makes you feel nautical, but I think they're like topside brightwork: a nice-looking but useless relic of a bygone era. (And don't talk to me about stabbing yourself. If you can't avoid stabbing yourself with your own knife, even on a pitching deck, then you shouldn't be operating the tool.)
The Nomad came with a clip, as is the fashion these days, but I removed it - there's nothing I hate more than advertising my knife, and I can spot a clip knife in someone's pocket from across the room. And no, it won't save you from a concealed weapons charge - because just about everywhere (in the US at least, I know it's different elsewhere, as in the UK) it's legal to carry a folding knife with a blade under 4" in your pocket. I simply drop the knife in my right front pocket where it's easy to get to - but I admit it was a long search before I found a knife that was thin enough and light enough to ride unobtrusively in my pocket and yet still be beefy enough for heavy use.
I would never carry a knife/spike combo. The spikes that come with knives are just not robust enough for serious work. If you want a marlinspike, buy a marlinspike. I have two spikes, and when I was in the Navy and needed one regularly, I carried it in a leather sheath on my belt. These days it lives in my toolbox and only comes out when I need to splice. I use my Leatherman for opening shackles (which, like everyone else, I wear in a nylon sheath on my belt.)
If you had your choice, what features would you have on a knife that you feel are essential and what would you consider optional?
I bought it online at the Cutlery Shoppe, which has great prices. The MSRP is $209, I paid $110 plus shipping (he's up to $131 now, though). Yes, good knives are expensive. Don't hand me anything that cost you thirty dollars and expect me to be impressed and yes, I am slandering your Gerbers and your Bucks.
The hinge and bolsters are solid, no worries. So is the thumb stud.
As you can probably tell, I am pretty opinionated when it comes to knives. That's what you get from being a third-generation knife fanatic. I have always carried something and after long consideration and evaluation, I am of the opinion that Al Mar makes some of the finest civilian carry folders available on the market today. They are innovative in their alloy selection and blade shapes, and they produce absolutely beautiful knives. Check out the Falcon and Eagle blades - they're nearly perfect and both my dad and I have carried them for years. I switched to the Nomad because I like to use my knife a lot, not just carry it for self defense and opening mail. The anodized finish on the Nomad really protects the blade from scratching with heavy cutting (though you can gouge it on the stone if you're not careful), and I have seen no sign of corrosion after 2 years in a salt air environment. One unexpected thing about the finish is that with use over time the it's starting to show wear near the edge, particularly near the point. It gives the blade a well used, comfortable look that I find attractive - kind of like the uneven surface finish aging you get from a carbon steel blade - the kind that we've all but lost appreciation for in our quest for shiny stainless steel knives.
My advice for buying a knife is the same as for buying a boat: buy something you like. But buy a knife, not a wanna-be tool box.
Edited to add: my Leatherman is also a Wave, and it's ok, but not nearly corrosion resistant enough.

Burial to honor legacy of Greenville fallen soldier
Joshua Nelson remembered as courageous, positive role model in day ahead burial service
GREENVILLE - A soldier killed in Afghanistan was set to be laid to rest right here in Eastern North Carolina.
Joshua Nelson's burial was scheduled for noon Thursday at the Coastal Carolina State Veterans Cemetery in Jacksonville.
A crowd of more than 400 people spilled outside the Mt. Calvary Freewill Baptist Church Wednesday night to honor the life and service of a 22-year-old fallen soldier.
Spc. Joshua Nelson was killed Sept. 16 in an inside attack in Afghanistan. NATO commanders described the incident as a firefight involving uniformed Afghan police officers turning on American troops.
The funeral for the Greenville native drew military officials, childhood friends and members of the community, all who hoped to continue Nelson's legacy of generosity towards others.
"Joshua would take the car, pick up kids from this church and give them music lessons, so he could share his gift for music with them," said Brian Nelson, Joshua's father. "We want to shout out his story so people will know what happened and remember him."
Teachers at North Pitt High School described the young soldier as a man with uncommon courtesy and respect for others. Nelson was actively involved in the drum-line, the North Pitt High School band, the ROTC and Mt. Calvary's gospel choir.
Fellow soldier and high school classmate Nadja Warith also served in Afghanistan, and said she still shares a bond with Nelson even though he's gone.
"We're still family," Warith said. "He's sill my battle buddy, and I'm really sad. Deeply hurt. He's still right beside me."
Laughter filled the church during the open-casket public viewing, as friends and family remembered their favorite moments with Nelson.
"He was the kind of person who everyone went to if they wanted to put a smile on their faces," Warith said. "He was just a character, a great character."
Local members of the Patriot Riders organization stood silently with American flags in front of the church, guarding the entrance until the funeral began.
The funeral home handling the arrangements presented the Nelson family with a woven blanket, adorned with a picture of Joshua sewn into the fabric. Bishop Henry Brown said at the close of the ceremony the Congleton Funeral Home provided all services to the Nelson family free of charge.

The Canisius College men's and women's cross country teams returned to the course at the 39th annual Brooks Paul Short Run hosted by Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa on Friday afternoon. Competing in the Brown races, the Golden Griffin men scored a program-best finish of second overall among 33 teams, while the women placed 23rd out of 39.
Appearing in their eighth Brook Paul Short Run, the Golden Griffin men secured a second-place finish, setting the mark for the program's best-finish at the race. In the field of 33 teams, the Griffs scored 167 points with four of their top-five finishers placing in the top-50. Previously, the Griffs best finish came in 1992 with a tenth-place performance.
"This was a big step
forward for our men's program, and the best part is that we didn't
really do anything special performance-wise," said head coach Nate Huckle. "We simply executed our race strategy well and ran to our potential."
For the third consecutive race, sophomore Chad Maloy led the Griffs. Maloy recorded an individual-best of eighth overall with a time of 25:34 in the Brown race, the program's best individual-finish at the race. Maloy's dominant performance broke the Griffs' previous highest-finish by Tom Appenheimer in 1992 of 26th overall.
Once again, it was the freshmen Griffs that helped lead the Griffs to a strong performance. After Maloy, the next three spots in the Griffs' top-five finishers belonged to freshmen with Travis Jordon placing 28th (26:04), Cooper Roach taking 32nd (26:08), and Michael Anvelt coming in 43rd (26:18). Rounding out the Griffs' top-five was senior Alex Simon, who placed 56th in a time of 26:27.
"We had a race in which
our freshmen and our upper-classmen all had strong days," said Huckle.
"Chad got the job done up front, and our pack backed him up. Our time
gap from one to five was less than a minute, which is outstanding.
Travis jordan was the one who stepped up big for us today. That was his
best race of the year and it proves again that our depth is our
Making their seventh appearance at the Brooks Paul Short Run, the Golden Griffins women finished 23rd overall, placing ahead of Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference members Niagara (31st) and Manhattan (35th).
Junior Mikelle Cala led the way for the Griffs for the third straight race of the season. Cala finished 33rd overall with a time of 22:53, tying a personal best mark set in 2010 at the course."Mikelle ran very well up front, hitting her personal best time for the course," said Huckle. "This was a personal triumph for her, as she barely completedlast year's race--nearly passing out before the finish line."
The Griffs' top-five finishers were junior Jamie Wallace in 70th (23:32), sophomore Morgan Atkins in 80th (23:39), freshman Mary Kate Chambers in 182nd (24:36), and sophomore Brandi Pettit in 232nd (25:13).
"Jaime and Morgan also ran
well, which gave us a strong top-three," said Huckle. "We have girls
that can step up for a solid fourth and fifth by the end of the season."
The Blue and Gold return
to the trails at the Fairfield Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 13. The
Griffs will make their first appearance at the race hosted by fellow
MAAC member Fairfield. The women's race will begin at 10:30 a.m.
followed by the men's race at 11:15 a.m.

No Hard Drive Lives Forever...
Hard drives are sensitive, complex mechanical devices. Most modern hard drives can hit over 7200 RPMs!
But it's not without a cost: No matter HOW hard you try, 100% of hard drives will eventually crash.
What do you do when your hard drive crashes?
Well, there are only two outcomes...
1. If you don't back up your data:
It's gone. Throw your hard drive in the trash and start fresh... because you are NOT recovering that data. A dead hard drive is just that. It's game over.
2. If you DO back up your data:
You take your handy little Super Talent 16GB back up flash drive and put all your saved files on your next computer. With JUST ONE CLICK!
You don't lose a single file, and you don't spend the weekend wishing you had printed those vacation photos that you'll never get back.
Which one would you prefer?
There's only ONE reason not to back up data: it USED to be hard. It took a lot of time, it took expensive hardware or software, and it took some tech-savvy. You had to know file extensions, directories, the whole works.
The Super Talent 16GB Instant Backup Flash Drive!
NO software. NO set up. NO time consuming steps. All you do is plug it in and click "backup"!
Could it BE any easier?
The first time you pop it in, it just asks you what directories you want to backup. After that, every new backup is just a click away.
What's great is that it keeps ALL of your directories and folders right in the order you have them on your PC. So you'll know EXACTLY where to find them on the flash drive or after you back them up to another PC!
Think about everything you have on your computer: TONS of photos. ALL of your favorite music. Family videos and contact information.
How about work documents, important files, sensitive documents. Even your passwords, e-mails, favorite web pages... EVERYTHING!
After a crash, you can't get those photos back. The videos are now distant memories. And your passwords? Good luck remembering the ones you haven't had to type in for years.
And with backing up this easy, you won't even have to think about it!
This DEFINES User Friendly!
We tested it out, just check out the video:
Ultra Sleek, Ultra Secure, ULTRA FAST!
It looks, feels, and acts just like your standard flash drive (of course, standard flash drives can't hold a candle to this one) so you know it's gonna be easy and lightweight to move or store.
Plus, when you aren't using it, you can flip the drive around to protect the connector! YES!
That's right - Just drag and drop files to it and use it like any other flashdrive! Talk about the best of both worlds!!
Take it anywhere! Back up any PC or laptop! Use it for EVERYTHING!
And if you're looking for fast, this thing is gonna BLOW YOU AWAY!
This is a Super Talent high-speed USB 2.0 drive.
We're talkin' up to 480Mbps of PURE SPEED!
Last but not least: IT'S SECURE!
When you back up anything on this drive, you can choose to encrypt it and guard it with a password of your choice! Nobody but you or those you trust get access to YOUR files.
So all your tax, financial, and confidential documents? You can back them up too without worrying! FINALLY!
It's not just passwords, either. It's full-power encryption!
All those passwords on your PC don't mean a thing if you don't have SECURE backups.
But with the included backup software, it's not a problem.
A Backup Drive For UNDER $17! WOW!
If you go anywhere to try and get a backup drive, you'll be looking $40 for the BARE MINIMUM! And those are bulky, heavy external hard drives that you really can't move or store.
Personal note - I needed another backup drive for all my photography, and these were just PERFECT for the job! They're sooooooo handy!
You will NOT find a faster, more convenient backup drive out there for just $16.97!
These are simply one of the coolest devices I've ever seen. PLEASE don't miss out on this deal. We only have so many and once they're gone... that's it.
*Color May Vary*

A love story set against the background of the Holocaust has become one of the most popular programs being shown on Iran's flagship national channel. The 30 episode drama, Zero Degree Turn, depicts a half Iranian, half Palestinian boy who falls in love with a French girl in prewar France. The boy, Habib Paisa, falls in love with a Jewish French girl named Sarah Stuck and they become caught up in World War II events. Habib works at the Iranian embassy in Paris and uses his position to help safe Sarah and her family. The screenwriter was doing research about Iranian diplomats in the World War II era and stumbled upon countless stories of Iranians helping save thousands of Jews from death in the Holocaust. Iran's president, Ahmadinejad has repeatedly claimed the Holocaust never happened, but, as the Arab Times notes, "Ahmadinejad's stance on the Holocaust has rarely been repeated by top Iranian officials, and, on occasion, even flatly contradicted." Over 24,000 Jews still live in Iran, have a Jewish MP in parliament and are guaranteed freedom of religion.
It is interesting that Zero Degree Turn is not discussed by the American media which is quick to seize upon every idiotic statement made by President Ahmadinejad. Few Americans are aware that Iranians saved Jews during the Holocaust. Perhaps, demonstrators who yelled and screamed against Iran during Ahmadinejad's appearance at Columbia University have something to add concerning this TV series and the performance of Iranian diplomats during the Holocaust.

so maybe its just the moonshine talking, but what is Boba storing in his ammo belt? I am putting together the ammo belt and the pouches look too mall to really hold anything. His gun does not look like it takes clips so what is it for? Candy and Jerky? I double checked my measurements with a few of the DYI posts, so it is not that I am just building them too small.
or is it more of the batman approach...shark repellent?

Posts Tagged 'Wrap Print Woven Dress'
January 26th, 20120
Have you done it yet? Have you discovered how a fabulous frock can change your week for the better? Just to remind you, the dress is a great daytime choice, as it is so versatile your look will change completely depending on what you wear with it and how you accessorise it. For picking up the kids, wear it with a chunky knit, scarf and knee high boots. For work, go for opaque tights, heels and a blazer, and for coffee out with the girls, go for a fitted cardi with a skinny belt and brogues. Opting for a dress, is complete no-fuss way of getting dressed, you don't have to waste precious time trying on dozens of outfit combinations, not that separates are a bad idea, there is a time and place and it's not when you have to catch the 7.45 am train.
So we have a couple more weekday options that will inspire you to give the dress a go.
For Thursday, you could choose the gorgeous new Cowl Tunic Dress. This dress is a relaxed and very versatile dress; it is available in biscuit, in a soft knit. It has a cowl neck and a tie waist with relaxed pockets on the sides, this dress could be worn with a jersey close fitting long sleeved top underneath and could be worn over skinny jeans or you could wear with thick brown tights and brown knee high boots. For an evening out, try wearing over skinny black pants, with nude heels and nude blazer.
Friday's dress is the Wrap Print Woven Dress. It comes in this vibrant abstract floral print, it is a long sleeve and a wrap front dress with side buckle and it is also available with a detachable slip. This dress is another perfect day to night dress, suitable for work and worn with a smart jacket buttoned up, then take off the jacket on your Friday night out and accessorise with some fabulous gold chunky jewellery, like the Hoop Statement Necklace in antique gold and the Swirl Bangle in gold. Wear with a wow pair of nude heels and you'll will have an instant stylish and glamorous look for the start of the weekend and nobody will believe it is the same dress you came to work in.
Invest in a dress or two you will be saving time, money and you will look drop dead gorgeous every day of the week. And don't forget, all of our Pepperberry dresses are designed with your boobs in mind, so they will flatter and hug your boobs.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
The internet is killing zines? No way! It's time for zines to fight back with content that would make more sense as a blog.
One page features a screenshot from a video on youtube, the opposing page features my thoughts on it. All finished just in time for YouTube to change their style and format. Sigh.
Views: 121
So I know this is super old, but do you have any copies of this left or is it available to buy anywhere? I love the concept, and as an internet-obsessed zinester I'll usually buy any zine about the internet that sounds intriguing. Let me know! Thanks.

Put a hacker in a room with a Furby for a weekend and you'll hear a conversation that's fairly one-sided in its originality. Toss in an 802.11b network card, a soldering iron, wire cutters, a logic probe, and a few other carefully selected tools and materials and you'll have potential. Add a copy of Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks and by the end of the weekend that Furby will be saying things you never imagined.From building an Internet toaster to creating a cubicle intrusion detection system, Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks offers an array of inventive, customized electronics projects for the geek who can't help looking at a gadget and wondering how it might be "upgraded." Beginning with basic hacks, tools, and techniques for those who may not have a background in electronics, the book covers the tools of the hardware hacking trade and basic soldering techniques, then moves into more advanced hacking projects. Clear step-by-step instructions allow even those with no formal electronics- or hardware-engineering skills to hack real hardware in very clever ways.Hacks in the book are rated on a scale of difficulty, cost, and duration. Projects range from those that are truly useful to some things you may have never thought to do, but which are really cool, such as:
Scott Fullam has been hacking hardware since he was 10 years old with his first RadioShack 100-in-1 electronic kit. He built an "intruder" alarm to keep his sister out of his room. Scott attended MIT earning Bachelors and Masters degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. While an undergraduate he built a "shower detection" system so that he could see if the community shower was in use. After graduating from MIT Scott designed children's toys and built close to 50 prototypes in 2 years. He then went to work at Apple Computer in the Advanced Technology Group designing digital still cameras. In 1995, Fullam co-founded PocketScience, which develops revolutionary mobile e-mail communications products and services. As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Fullam personally developed all of the algorithms for the company's products. Scott now works as an independent consultant assisting consumer electronic companies design high quality products. Never satisfied with how the consumer electronics products he owns work, he often takes them apart and enhances their capabilities.

Like a kid again.

Comments about oreilly Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks:
I have tinkered with electronics ever since I was a kid. And this book brings me back to those days. The hacks in this have varying skill levels, which lets your knowledge, grow with the book. Overall the book has a lot of great hacks. If you are a fish person or know some one who is you now have a use for that old monitor or Mac you have had laying around just turn it into a fish tank. I really enjoyed reading number 8 "How to Hack a Building-size Display", I don't think I will be don't that any time soon but it was an awesome read. One of the best ones I think is number 5 "How to Hack a Furby (and Other Talking Toys)"; the sky is the limit on that one. They did a great job of adding pictures threw out and reference material at every end of a project. They have a nice "Bill of Materials" so you know what to buy and Schematics when needed.I really enjoyed this book it has a lot of information and is easy to follow, I would highly recommend it if you are interested in electronics.

Good book!
By Stuggi
I must say that I haven't enjoyed a book before as much as I enjoyed thisone. The remote tracking unit hack was probably the most usefull as a trackingsond for cars can cost up to 1500 ...
Very good, but are the budgets right?
By Anonymous
I love this book. It's given me some great ideas to take these types of things even further.One thing that confuses me, though, is the budget for the Internet-Enabled Coffee Maker. The budget is listed at $50-$100, but the SitePlayer hardware you need for it sells for $99.95 by itself. Maybe the price has gone up since they want to press, but is there something I'm missing?Otherwise, great book.
Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks
By mindmerge
I very much enjoyed this book. I have to admit that I did not read the book cover to cover and only read about projects I could actually complete. Overall this book is great, even if you have no background in working with electronics and circuitry you will 'learn' enough to complete the projects. Aside from irritating my wife by accumulating the extended family's extra electronics from their garages I feel this book had been beneficial to me and a valuable addition to my library.

Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks Review
By Jerry
I have repaired large radar and radio systems for years. My passion started before the microprocessor, when the "old timers" explained the transistor was a passing fad. This book is great for both the novice and those with years of hardware work. It is an excellent book for those wanting to dig into hardware, and a fun way to learn.
By Leif Asprer
Very informative. The hacks about making your own laptop battery extender and Primestar dish wi-fi antenna were most helpful. Please make more of these kinds of books in the future. (How about hacking videogame consoles?)
By Jeff Richtman
This book is great. Especially the section that tells you how to build your own lojack...fun fun fun.This book also shows a lot of cool stuff i've always wanted to do but just didnt know how.ITS A GOTTA HAVE!!!.
By jeb
Haven't read it, it looks great though. Did you really spell "aquarium" incorrectly on the cover?

The Canisius College women's lacrosse program has added a pair of former collegiate Players of the Year in Lindsay Rogers and Rachael Burek to its coaching staff, head coach Scott Teeter announced on Tuesday.
"Being able to add two All-Americans and two successful collegiate players is a tremendous boost to our program," Teeter said. "Both had outstanding leaders during their playing careers and we look forward to bringing their philosophies to Canisius."
Prior to joining Canisius, Rogers played her collegiate lacrosse at Syracuse University under head coach Gary Gait. As a member of the Orange, she was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year in 2008 and was selected to the IWLCA All-America Second Team. She also holds the school record with 56 draw controls.
Previously, Rogers served as an assistant coach at Rochester Institute of Technology. She was also a head coach of Rochester's Relentless Hustle Lacrosse Club. In addition, Rogers has coached overseas at St. Georges VA School in the United Kingdom.
Burek joins the Griffs' coaching staff after playing the last four seasons at Albany, where she was the America East Conference Co-Player of the Year in 2013. While serving as a team captain, Burek led the Great Danes in points with 84 during her senior season. Burek was named to the IWLCA All-America Northeast Region Second Team in 2013 and participated in the IWLCA North-South Senior All-Star Game.
Prior to Canisius, Burek served as a head coach for the Albany Elite Lacrosse Club for three seasons, coaching high school-aged students.
The Griffs are in the midst of their most successful stretch in program history, having won each of the last three MAAC Championships.

We spend all day staring at the cutest cards and stationery. So naturally our minds start wandering and coming up with ideas to put together an amazing party or create a sweet gift. Every month we'll be sharing a card or stationery item that has inspired a fun decorating project or a delicious treat. We'll give you the recipes and DIY directions so it's super easy to "borrow" these awesome ideas for your own party!
First up? This little piggy gift tag!
We were instantly smitten with this gift tag. So we thought… how cute would it be to make this piggy bread, wrap it up in a little cellophane baggy and attach the gift tag? What a perfect party favor!
Want to make Piggy Bread yourself? Check out this darling recipe we found over at Café Chocolada.
Ingredients to make about 20 piglets
Dough: 13.5 oz all purpose flour 1 package instant dry yeast 1 egg 7 oz plain yogurt 3.5 oz warm milk a pinch of salt
Puffed or flaky dough: 5.5 oz flour 3.5 oz magarine (unsalted) pinch of salt
Filling: As much as you like: cheese, tomato (pizza) sauce, oregano (or something else you would like for filling)
Wash: Egg white to use as adhesive Egg yolk and some milk to brush on at the end
•First, make dough by mixing all ingredients together, then let it rise in a warm place.
•In the meantime, make puff dough with the second batch of ingredients. Then mix it into the risen dough (yes, mix them together). Work it well on a floured surface.
•Roll the dough and with a round cookie cutter (or other round object) cut out circles about 3 inches in diameter. Leave some dough for ears and noses.
•Make filling with cheese, tomato sauce (pizza sauce) and oregano. You can be creative and use different kinds of ingredients to make a filling of your own. You can also add ham or salami or vegetables.
•Place half of circles onto a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper), brush the edges with the egg white wash.
•Put some filling in the middle, cover with the other half of the circles, and press the edges to ensure nothing will come out while baking.
•With the remainder of the dough, make much smaller circles for the nose. Then make some circles around 2 inches in diameter. Cut these in quarters for the ears. Use the egg whites as a an adhesive for the ears and nose.
•For eyes and nostrils use a toothpick to make little lines and then inside, put cumin, pepper or something similar.
•Now that you have little piglets, let them rise again for a little while. Then brush them with a little bit of egg yolk wash mixed with a little bit of milk.
•Bake for about 20-25 minutes at about 385-405 degrees F.
Our note: You can use some other kind of herb for the eyes if you are concerned about kids biting into peppercorns, or just warn your kids to pop out the yes before eating.
We'd love to see pictures and hear your stories about how you've been inspired by one of our stationery items. Embarking on your own little baking adventure? Working on a décor project? Do share by leaving a comment below or send your ideas to email@example.com.

Underwire bathing suits provide great support, and are always a good bet on a beach or poolside. Swimsuit separates, chlorine resistant swimwear and aquatards can also provide comfort and support— all depending on what type of activity you will be doing.
Choosing the right swimwear based on the kind of activity you plan on performing while wearing it is essential. The wrong suit can mean not enough coverage or mobility and may let you down at exactly the wrong moment, while one chosen with care will ensure you stay both comfortable and secure in and out of the water.
Underwire swimsuits and underwire bathing suits are some of the most common on the market and are a great way for full-figured women to get the support they need for their chest – in either one piece or two piece form. Typically, underwire bathing suits are meant for walking along the beach and sunbathing, and will not stand up to heavy swimming activity.
Swimsuit separates are a great way to mix and match pieces of a suit you like, or find tops that match well with a set of well-fit bottoms. Again, these are meant for light use and make excellent beachwear.
Plus size water aerobics swimsuits, chlorine resistant swimwear and aquatards are all geared more toward pool or ocean swimming, and will often provide things like UV protection, sturdier materials, and the ability to stretch and shape more as needed.
Choosing supportive swimsuits that not only flatter but are designed for the activity you have in mind can help make sure that you are comfortable both in and out of the water, and that you always have as much support and comfort as you need, while never losing your sense of fashion or fun.next article >>

Changing your motorcycle exhaust can greatly improve the performance of your motorcycle, increase fuel economy and boost your engine's power so the first thing most people do when they buy a motorcycle is replace the exhaust system. Aftermarket exhaust systems tend to be lighter than stock systems too.
When choosing an exhaust that is right for you and your bike, you have some options like: Slip-on or full system. A slip-on pipe from a manufacturer such as FMF, Yoshimura or Two Brothers is the easiest upgrade. The slip-on exhaust is popular with street or sport bikes thanks to the increase in lower end power allowing the rider a quick jump from a stopped position. Voila, you get the aesthetic upgrade, reduced weight, an improved exhaust sound plus a marginal performance increase. A slip-on system doesnt always require any modification to your carburetor or fuel-injection either.
Generally, full exhaust systems give you higher end power. A full exhaust system includes the header or head pipes plus the canisters or mufflers. Installation is a more in-depth process but the benefits are three-fold. You will generally see at least a 10% increase in horsepower if everything is done right.
At Competition Accessories our extensive collection of full exhaust systems and slip-ons gives you options for a worry free purchase. We want you to have that throaty rumble that will give you goosebumps and rattle the windows or that shear distinct burly sound that gets your blood pumping on race day.

Ok y'allI have two trap outs to get started this week. I was wondering if it was to cold to start them or not. I am in Texas near Fort Worth and our high temps are going to be in the 60s with lows in the 40s.So to make sure I have this understood as best as possible I wanted to run this by the pros.I will block off all entrances/exits except for one. The one that is left will have a cone placed over it allowing the bees to exit but not enter. The exit needs to be large enough for a drone to get out? The hive that I am setting up for the bees to go to needs to be as close as possible to the original entrance from the tree, if I can get it touching the tree and with in a few inches the better.So the cone is up, the hive is as close as possible. I add some drawn comb to the hive and on the second day I add a frame of eggs, so they can rear a queen for me from my genetics?Where does the queen from the tree go? I will do my best to take pictures and video on these projects and share them with y'all. Thanks for any feed back.Jason
Could I set everything up and then use smoke on one of the other entrances?

Gold medal swimmer admits to cheating at Games
After winning an Olympic gold medal in the men's 100-meter breaststroke, South African swimmer Cameron van der Burgh pointed his index finger to the sky in joy following his win in world-record time.
Now, Olympic officials could be pointing the finger at him after he admitted to cheating recently.
In breaststroke, competitors are allowed to take one dolphin kick at the start and one after each turn before starting their breaststroke kick. But with no underwater video judging, swimmers are oftentimes able to sneak in an extra kick. Van der Burgh appears to take three of them based on video replays. If judges had caught him, the illegal moves could have earned him a disqualification.
In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, he said that he took extra kicks, but pointed out it's typical of other swimmers as well.
"If you're not doing it, you're falling behind," van der Burgh said. "It's not obviously — shall we say — the moral thing to do, but I'm not willing to sacrifice my personal performance and four years of hard work for someone that is willing to do it and get away with it.
"I think it's pretty funny of the Australians to complain because in the underwater footage if you actually look at Brenton Rickard in the lane next to me, he's doing the exact same thing as me yet they're turning a blind eye.
"It's got to the sort of point where if you're not doing it you're falling behind or you're giving yourself a disadvantage so everyone's pushing the rules and pushing the boundaries, so if you're not doing it, you're not trying hard enough."
Should van der Burgh lose his gold medal? Well, if we're going by the rules, yes.
Could van der Burgh lose his gold medal? Probably not. The time for appeal has long passed, and there's no replay review in swimming.
But let's not forget that officials have taken a serious stance on cheating in London, banning badminton players for throwing matches and almost banning a runner for not trying hard enough in a race to save energy.
How serious a case of cheating is this? Well, it's not the same as using a banned substance, but if athletes are leaving London for "not trying" enough, a dolphin kick could cost someone a gold medal.


text: Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, who backed a new law allowing handgun carry permit holders to keep weapons in their vehicles at work, says the law needs clarifying.Employers point to an opinion by Attorney General Robert Cooper in saying their policies banning weapons from their property have not changed."I hate that the attorney general has muddied the waters on this," Ramsey told the Knoxville News Sentinel.

Musibike,,, if UN troops did come here,, they WOULD be dying!!! Even if they show up,,, they WILL be dying!! There's no fucking way they'll push this old man around much,,, not for one second.
I'm sure I'll die too,,
but I'll damn sure snipe a bunch,,, before I do go down. No Doubt!! Several hundred deer and yotties can attest to that fact, and those blue helmets will sure make good targets!!! BRING IT, FOOLS!!
If yomama allows them in this country for one second,,,, there WILL,, be a 2nd American Revaluation in this country, of that there is no doubt, and he will soon find out he will end up like Mussolini,,,
We still have more patriots in this country than what we have military ,, that would be willing fire on American citizens. And any act like this would be treason by whom ever gave the order or by those that follow those orders to do so.
Any,,,, administration ,,, DAMN WELL BETTER,,, realize that many,, WILL NOT,,,,, "go quietly into the night". I swore an oath of allegiance to this country and it did not end with my leaving the Army, my service and allegiance to this country and it's people's freedom is for life ,,
And If you gubberment guys out there are listening and watching,, I'll be by your side to protect this country,100%,,, and if you are complicit ,,,,with those that are trying to take over this country,,,,, you too,,, will be my enemy if a 2nd American Revaluation does come,,,, period.
It's time for all good patriots to stand together against oppression,,,, from any source.

Congressmen Introduce Legislation to Improve Missouri River Flood Management
WASHINGTON, D.C.– U.S. Congressmen Sam Graves (MO-06), Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03), Vicky Hartzler (MO-04), and Billy Long (MO-07) have filed legislation to improve the management of the Missouri River. Their bill, H.R. 1460, would remove "fish and wildlife" from the list of authorized purposes for which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers can undertake a river management project. Currently, the Corps' Master Manual includes eight authorized purposes. By removing "fish and wildlife," the Corps can focus more closely on projects related to navigation and flood management.
"The record flooding of the Missouri River in 2011 affected hundreds of families, homes, farmers, and businesses throughout the river basin," said Congressman Graves. "Families were displaced, homes were under water, crops destroyed, and businesses lost revenue. As a result, we must take a serious look at the management of the Missouri River and make common-sense reforms that make residents the priority. The Corps should not have to waste precious resources on building wildlife habitats, a duty they are not suited for and should not have to fulfill. Our bill will help reduce the likelihood of future flooding, which our families, farmers, and small businesses deserve."
"With roughly 140 miles of the Missouri River in my district, I have seen firsthand how the Corps and its limited resources are being spread too thin," said Congressman Luetkemeyer. "I'm supporting Congressman Graves' bill because I believe ensuring the Corps has the ability to focus its resources on projects that keep our communities safe and help fuel our economy should be a major priority for states up and down the Missouri River."
"Over the past few years, we have seen both extreme drought and damaging floods that caused great loss and heavy burdens to citizens who live along the Missouri River, and I believe we need to take this opportunity to focus on resources and set priorities for our natural resources," said Congresswoman Hartzler. "My conversations with Missouri River stakeholders, farmers, and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources convince me we must make agriculture and transportation interests our Missouri River priorities. While preserving wildlife habitat is important, we cannot allow these narrow interests to take precedence over the lives and activities of farmers, businesses, and residents on or near the river. The well being of our citizens must be government's top priority."
"The Corps' focus should be on operations and maintenance," said Congressman Long. "This legislation is necessary to ensure the Corps uses their resources to protect folks living along and doing business on the Missouri River."
BACKGROUND: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for the management of the Missouri River. Pursuant to the Missouri River Authorized Purposes Study (MRAPS), the Corps gives consideration to eight authorized purposes – flood control, navigation, water supply, water quality, hydropower, irrigation, recreation, and fish and wildlife. Further, pursuant to the Master Manual which was last amended in 2006, the Corps gives priority to flood control and navigation of the overall eight authorized purposes when making river management decisions. Environmental groups have continually challenged the river management procedures of the Army Corps in court to gain greater consideration for fish and wildlife.

Arsenal assistant manager Pat Rice left the Club at the end of the 2011/12 season after a 44-year association with the Gunners.
Rice has a rich history with Arsenal Football Club, having first joined as a youth team player back in 1964. A Northern Ireland international right back, he was a Double winner in 1971 and captained the side to FA Cup glory in 1979. In total, Rice made 528 appearances for Arsenal across 14 seasons.
After a spell with Watford between 1980 and 1984, Rice returned to Arsenal as a youth team coach, winning two FA Youth Cups in 1988 and 1994. He took up a senior coaching role when Arsène Wenger joined in 1996.
As assistant manager, Rice was Arsène Wenger's right-hand man, helping to guide the Club to seven major honours - three Premier League titles and four FA Cups, including Doubles in 1998 and 2002.
Wenger said: "Pat is a true Arsenal legend and has committed almost his whole life to Arsenal Football Club, which shows huge loyalty and devotion.
"Pat has been amazing for me over the past 16 years. When I first arrived at Arsenal, Pat was always there and taught me so much about this great club. I will always be indebted to him for his expert insight into Arsenal and football as a whole. On the training pitches and on matchdays, Pat has always been a passionate, loyal and insightful colleague, who we will all miss.
"Thank you Pat, we'll miss you and all of us wish you and your family the best of health and happiness for the future. Although, we'll still see Pat a lot, as I know he's planning to come to all the home matches as a supporter!"

Rescue Dog GSD/Husky
Recently we got a rescue dog. He is a mix of a GSD and a Husky. Currently about 6months - 1 year old . We are still working on identifying his age.
We had him for 1 week and he already learned how to: Sit, Stay, Shake a paw, lay down and leave it commands. We also currently walk him with a Gentle leader as he used to pull before. Now he pees and dose his business when we tell him to do so.
He also now has to sit and wait for all the humans to go through the door first before he dose.
His overall behavior is great - He is friendly with other dogs and he is very friendly with humans.
Despite the great success that we had with him. There are some issues that need to be immediately addressed and I am seeking for advice/wondering if I am on the right track.
1) End of day or early morning something will click in his head and he will start misbehaving. He will jump on the couch while we keep telling him not to. We will constantly say NO, but he insists and keeps doing it. The only way for me to stop him is to grab him by his scruff and tie him to the door for a timeout.
2) This also happens end of day or early morning - He will nibble an bite our hands. We constantly pretend we get hurt and walk away, screaming "OWW" - Sometimes he will listen sometimes no.
3) He also gets very food possessive. He used to growl at us when we get near him - Through some work we can put our hand on his head, but not take his food away without him reacting at us.
We take him on 4-6 walks a day.
Any help or advice on how to deal with those 3 problems would be appreciated. Remember I only had him for a week now.

The ongoing mantra of conservatives is their opposition to government intervention in the lives of citizens. According to conservative philosophy, government has no right to interfere in the daily decisions of humans. Of course, when it comes to issues of abortion or the right to die, conservatives switch their line and become advocates of government interference in making decisions for individuals and their families. Eluana Englaro died peacefully in her bed even as the Italian parliament debated taking action to over turn a decision by the Italian Supreme Court to grant her father's request to allow a peaceful death for his daughter who has been in a coma for seventeen years.
The Vatican issued a statement asking God to "forgive" those who had implemented the father's decision to end life support for his daughter. The president of Italy refused to go along with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who wanted to ignore the court ruling. Neurologist Giorgio Napolitano said it eloquently: "I am helping a person achieve her own wish, a defenseless person who was betrayed by everyone except her father and a few other people."

TG riveting fixture
What is the thickness of the metal used?
It doesn't really matter.
I used .375 as indicated above, but all measurements given are ID, so they wont change no matter what thickness you use.
My first prototype was .500 but that was overkill. The 100+ that were sold, were all .375
PPS. I just noticed that you are new here. Welcome to the forum.
Thanks for the help. I did not see the dimension for the metal thickness. I have been in the shadows looking around the site. I have two builds planned for this year. One is a Romy sidefolder and the other is a Polish U/F. The site has been a great source of info for me.
I built this jig per blue print and discovered it would not fit the triger guard mag catch retaining pin. I had to cut off one end and mill slots in each side to accomidaye the pin. I am leaving the end off so the triger guard can be slid in from the back . I made the fixture from .750
The inside dimension can be increased to .690" for additional clearance for the retaining pin. You may still need to shorten some of the pins, I do this in the vice. I would also recomend using a 5/16" ball end mill .100" deep to help prevent forming "half-moons" on the rivet heads.
With these two mods, the rivet head dimples will extend into the gap and leave a small part unsupported, but I have found that it doesn't cause any noticeable marking on the rivet head.
nice jig thanks for the drawing:)
Does anyone have the demensions to the two small blocks of steel? I have the trigger gaurd made just need to make the other two pieces.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
i did something similar on my 58 truk w/ stock springs and flipped axle
after i had truk on the road i experienced a lot of axle wrap that caused the driveshaft to rub a x-member on a hard take off
luckily i had used a 2nd gen trans am that came with a torsion bar boss on the rearend housing
i bolted the stock 82-92 torsion bar on the housing, cut the front mount off and used a trailer shackle at my trans x-member
the torsion bar and the leaf springs have different pivot points, the added shackle makes a variable pivot point up front
works great
on leaf springs i'd remove the panhard bar as it will counter act and bind with the leaf springs
|ben s.
My thought with axle wrap was this: the axle body will rotate about the axles center line causing the pinion to climb. The top of the housing will rotate rearward while the bottom is 'pushed' forward. The upper and lower ladder bar mounts on the axle should control this movement and in turn cause a lifting effect at the front of the bar that is mounted to the frame. Now, because of the softer bushings at all bar mounts, and the shackle in front, the bar will inherently allow some movement and thus, not completely resist axle wrap. However, it can only move so far along all of the stressed axes, and ultimately it will control the axles wrapping. It's effectiveness will most likely be on a graduated scale rather than a pass/fail. So, in theory I've combined a ladder bar and a lift bar. There should be lift created at the front of the bar, and the axles propensity for rotation should be mostly controlled between the upper and lower bars on the ladder.
Hmm. I can see what you were thinking when you designed the front mount. I am wondering how effective it will be to control axle wrap. As loose as it is I really doubt it will have much of a controlling effect on pinion lift at launch.
It won't cause any bushing bind in the leaf springs because it will just saw back and forth on the shackle during jounce and rebound.
I will be very interested to hear how it works out. I would really like to see a go-pro vid of it in action.
Keep us in the loop on this please.
|ben s.
Yes the leaf springs are still there. I know the bar is short and angled down somewhat. Two things: 1) the axle does move side to side. It has rubber bushings and stock shackles. It moved just as much, if not more than the panhard will move it. 2) were the bar to be level, upon compression at current bar length it would deflect the axle laterally the maximum amount possible. Presently, It starts midway through the arc, and upon compression of the springs the bar should only make it back to the opposite midpoint. Theoretically, this reduces over all axle displacement because the panhard bar arc length is reduced.
Regarding the front mount: I have a large leaf spring shackle that the bar connects to. It will move fore and aft (and yaw somewhat because there are two rubber bushings on the ends). Yes the bar and the leaf spring have disimilar arc lengths, however the shackle should compensate for this, at least that was my intention. We're it to be rigidly mounted to the frame at the front, I should think it would bind.
Now, as a suspension guy, do you still think it would matter that the arc length of the leaf spring and ladder bar are different, even though the bar is able to move front-to-back with the axle?
You won't upset me. That's why I post this stuff. I want to know what you guys think.
Nice looking fab work, Ben. If I could make a few observations?
1.) The leaf springs are still there, right?
2.) The panhard bar is very short. The bar will push the axle back and forth, crosscar, in an arc not in agreement with the "straight" up and down travel of the leaf springs. This will put a lot of deflection (read as "bind") into the leaf spring bushings.
3.) The panhard bar is at an angle at ride height. This angle will induce more "arc travel" of the rear end into jounce then rebound. You really want the bar parallel to the ground at ride.
4.) The ladder bar front mount is farther forward, in the side view, then the leaf spring front bushings. This will also drive more bind into the leaf spring mounts as the rearend will now want to rotate around the ladder bar front mount as well as the leaf spring mounts.
I do not want to get you upset... Suspension design is what I do for a living so I notice things like this...
|ben s.
finished it up
got the lower mount done. it was a PITA. I found some hot cracks (+1000*F, appear instantly) in a few spots and some cold cracks showed up (-1000*F, takes a few days). I figured this may happen. on the upper mount I only had cold cracks, on the lower there's some little hot ones. i'm going to grind those out and use the MIG on a lower amperage in order to avoid excess heating. I f'd that one up and I didn't want to leave it out of the post. figured someone could learn from it or some old timer can make fun of me... either way.
other than some cracks, it's lookin good. no road test yet as it started raining LITERALLY as soon as I finished bolting stuff together. i'll post the results I from the road test. hopefully it'll be positive.

axle mount.
i was concerned about welding the axle housing with the TIG. I've read some stuff and it seems hit or miss.
I'm using the Ford 8.8" from a '94 Explorer. From what I've found these units are steel instead of cast iron or something... either way, they weld nicely! I was super pumped to find that. Again, some good info from the 4x4 dudes.
I'm close to wrapping this up. Figured I'd post something that i hope you guys find useful. I've gotten a lot of information from here and i really dont want this to be 'status quo'. If you have questions or comments, I'd like to see them.
I'll post the finished lower mount, and driving results when I'm done.
|ben s.
i need to adjust the picture sizes
|ben s.
more stuff
Started making the axle mounts. I used 3/16" angle steel and 3/4" bolts. The nonhardened stuff is for mock up, I couldn't find the right shoulder (grip) length in grade 8 stuff, so grade 2 will suffice for now.
The axle side end links have a nice poly sleeve in them. Comp. Eng. sells these for street use.
I have to finish the lower mount, the upper is done. I'm not entirely convinced that i need a rear gusset on the axle mounts. If i decide to do it I'm going to use 3/16" plate.
Everything seems to be going well. I should be finishing up with the whole thing this week. I've put a lot of thought into this, and spent a good deal of time sourcing realiable street parts, so I'm hoping for good results. I have the part numbers and prices for those interested. I blueprinted this set up for that reason.
|ben s.
more bars
completed the inner triangle (circumscribed). Everything seems good.
I dont have a tubing notcher so I used the grinder. It took a while and was a PITA, but it all turned out well. The front gusset is 3/16" mild. Welding the tubing should be done in short lengths, about 3" or so to prevent warping and what not.
What I shouldv'e done was make a simple jig to clamp everything to (like a the two far ends clamped to a piece of wood, like a 2x4)..... but, I'm a ******* and the bar move a little. they're still square (amazing) they just got close together. No worries, it actually worked out better.
|ben s.
getting bars together
again, 1-1/4" .120 DOM.
Bar is adjustable, around 45", 10-1/4" center-to-center at the axle mounts, and consists of two triangles, one circumscribed about the other, with a front gusset at the apex of the tubes.
I welded the bar, as well as everything else in thise post with a TIG welder (Hobart 165i). I thought that would pose some problems, especially on the axle tubes and housing, it actually worked out really well.
165i TIG
3/32" 2%thoriated tungsten, sharpened to point
3/32" Alloy steel filler rod
straight Argon gas
For surface prep i used regular fiber disks and then cleaned it up with a braided wire wheel. The regular grinding wheels can leave little bits of crud in the weld area and they can create some ****ty, porous welds if you hit them. The wire wheel got rid of them. Also, in the questionable spots I used surface cleaner/surface prep for body work (auto parts store).
|ben s.
more pics of shackle mount
some more pics of the shackle mount. I couldn't get the other pics to load on my previous post.
|ben s.
cutting some stuff
Cut out the shackle hanger from the flat stock, it's 1/4" mild steel. I'm bolting it to the cross member at the rear base of the cab.
I had a rough idea of what i wanted to look like, had to wait for the bushings to get here to take final measurements. Welded it up, seems strong.

single ladder bar for my 1950 street truck
hey guys, started building a single ladder bar set up for my pick up truck.
1950 Chevy 3100
stock frame and leafsprings, lowered 2-3"
ford explorer 8.8" rear end, 3.27 gear, 31 spline axles, 26'' tires
So.... i started with an idea. One ladder bar located close to, or on the center section, with solid axle mounts and a bushed shackle connecting it to the frame. There's a lot of 4x4 guys that use this style set up and the reviews are all pretty good. I looked at some ladder bar set ups and wasn't sure that they were right for me, so i opted to build it myself.
1-1/4" x .120 wall, DOM steel tubing (12ft)
3/4"-16 chromoly threaded tube ends (x3)
3/4"-16 Comp. Eng. solid threaded ends, with poly sleeve for street (x2)
3/4"-16 Ride Tech. poly bushed end (x1)
leaf spring shackle, stock repl., '98 1500 chevy (comes with hardware and a nice bushing) (x1)
1/4" steel plate for the shackle mount to frame (4x12" plate)
I purchased the parts from Summit Racing, it's good quality stuff. I ordered the big 3/4" ends because i'm using only one bar, and i'm planning adding a supercharger in the future.
The chevy leaf spring shackle has a real nice bushing similar to an A-arm. It also comes with a loose one that, if you planned it correctly, you could press it into a custom tube end. I'll measure the bushing and post it on here. i bought the shackle from O'Reilly Auto.
I dont know how to post pictures into the thread (that'd help the fit-n-finsh) so i'll stop now and post some more.

how often should i field strip and clean the pistol? is using a clean rag and oil sufficient? can i use too much oil?
It also depends on the gun, to a point. When I carried a 1911, I cleaned it after almost every range trip, due to reliability concerns with the old design. I switched to Glock, only clean them about twice a year, and they work fine. I clean my little KelTec pocket guns more frequently.
I clean my 1911's every thousand rounds or so, whether they need it or not. Detail strip every year or so, if I remember.
I only shoot jacketed bullets now. When I shot lead, I had to clean the barrel fairly frequently with a Lewis Lead Remover. Big chunks came out. Cheaper in the long run to just shoot jacketed.
I have been using RIG grease on the rails, instead of oil. Oil runs out the bottom and only lubricates my holsters and clothing. Grease stays in the gun. Of course, many of my guns are finished with NP3 and/or Roguard, and would run fine dry.
Friend of mine was complaining about his Springfield recently, kept malfunctioning. He swore Springfields were junk. Met him at the range, observed the problem. He had never lubricated it; dry as a bone. Couple of drops of Break-Free, and it was fine.
I clean all my guns after every range trip. A clean gun will always work, dirty...who knows. Won't stake my life on a maybe.
Having said that, it's a good idea to get the proper tools. A bore brush & patches or a bore snake to clean the barrel, some good oil or grease (your local gunshop can point out what you need), and some good cleaner. Everyone likes different cleaners. I have 2 that I like. I use Break-Free CLP and just spray everything down and watch the crud run off. It lubricates at the same time. Then I wipe everything down with some rags and q-tips in the tight spots. Then when I'm satisfied I like to put a few drops of oil on the slide, in the hammer mechanism, and down in the trigger area. Then I work it in real good by racking the slide a few times, pulling the trigger a bit and playing with the hammer. Then i wipe her down and I'm set. The other cleaner I like is from Birchwood Casey and it's called Gun Scrubber. I use the synthetic safe formula because I have some polymer pistols that I am wary of getting soaked with strong solvents. This stuff dries up almost instantly, and it cleans really good. Spray it on liberally and get into the cracks and tight spots real good. It'll run all the gunk right off, then just wipe the rest off. Some people don't use Oil after using Break-Free CLP, but I like to anyway because I typically wipe all the CLP off the parts. If you use gun scrubber you have to use oil or grease because it's not a lubricant. There is such a thing as too much oil. Use only a bit. Usually your manual (if you have one) will explain how much to apply and where. Hk for instance uses the wet or dry explination. Parts that should be wet should have enough oil so that your finger will be wet if you run it across the surface. If it says dry then your finger should not have any oil on it after touching the surface (but it should still be lubricated). That may not make sense, but basically you should only use a super thin coating on those areas. A good rule of thumb is to put oil on any part of the gun that has a spring or any sort of metal to metal contact such as the slide rails, the barrel where it fits into the slide etc.
Again, there's really no wrong way just be sure you make it a habbit every so often.

I break them down and clean them every 500 rounds. I boresnake the barrel and wipe down with a clp cloth after every range trip.
I clean mine after every shooting session which comes out to 2-3 times a month. I probably don't need to clean that often but I just don't feel right storing it dirty. I basically do the same process that Dredd does, spray down the parts with Break Free CLP, let sit for a while, wipe down with dry patches and add lube to the areas that cause metal friction.
I clean mine after every outing also...
a clean gun is a happy gun
and a happy gun will SAVE YOUR LIFE !!
I also clean mine after every range session. If I haven't had time to go to the range in a whiile and it's my carry weapn I'll clean it about once a month also.
