The inaugural University of St. Thomas "Two Saints and a Taco Tasting" event, hosted by the Alumni Association will feature tacos from some of Houston's most popular restaurants and the full line up from Texas' oldest craft brewery, at 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, April 19 at Saint Arnold Brewery, 2000 Lyons Ave., Houston, Texas.
Guests will sample tacos from Bocados, Hearsay Gastro Lounge, El Tiempo Cantina, Roots Bistro, Berryhill Baja Grill and Taqueria Arandas, and cast their vote for the favorites. The event will also feature a silent auction and live music.
The scholarships will benefit the UST Alumni Association Annual Scholarship Fund, to be awarded to continuing students. Last year, the Alumni Association awarded $23,000 in scholarships to eight students.
Drew Wilson, vice president of the Alumni Association, said one of the most appealing things about the scholarship fund is that it is for students who are currently enrolled at UST.
"Once a student is committed to the tenets of building faith and character, the Alumni Board sees to it that they can continue their journey and complete it with graduation," Wilson said.
Silent auction items will focus on tacos, saints or beer with packages such as: "Taco Mania," including giftcards to area Mexican restaurants; "Tacos in the Sky" with dinner in Hilton Hotel's Skyline Bar & Grill and a one-night stay; a St. Regis hotel gift certificate – another "saint;" and "No more Beer Belly" with a fitness package, plus more. With affordable silent auction packages, there will be something for everyone!
Alumni and current students in the band, The Beans, will perform live music (a fitting band name for a taco tasting).
Tickets are $25, advanced purchase only, and benefit the Alumni Association. Register for the event online or download the form to purchase tickets. No tickets will be sold at the door. Donations to the UST Alumni Association Scholarship Fund are also accepted. The event is open to the public and all alumni are invited to attend.
Contact Hank Emery, director of alumni relations and annual giving, at 713-525-3111 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

I've re-committed myself to a daily vipassana practice over the last two weeks. I have been meditating for a couple of years, but mostly it has been irregular.
My question basically comes from the fact that I meditate in the evening, before bed. So about 10pm for me. I find that this frequently results in lucid dreams, very vivid dreams as well.
Also, separately, I can fall into states of near-sleep (like on the bus ) where i have a fairly clear awareness of what is going on, but my sense of the body largely drops away. I say largely, because I will be able to note 'mouth hanging open' if it drops open. It isn't a struggle anymore to maintain that near-sleep state, I can coast along for like half an hour in this way noting aspects of my thoughts.
So, no real problems here. I am guessing this is just another thing to be aware of and let pass. My near sleep state might be called 'sinking mind' by some Buddhist meditators, I don't know.
But, I have an intellectual curiousity if this is close to Yoga Nidra? I am considering taking a yoga nidra class at a local yoga studio to see what it's like. I still see myself as practicing in theravada traditions, but I think the sort of experiential overlap is interesting. Anyone else consider this??

A Very Public Caining
posted at 7:25 am on December 4, 2011 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Right. So Herman Cain is O-U-T out, and we still don't know whether all the charges lodged against him, from sexual harassment to sexual battery, with a stop-over on the cheatin' side of town, are true; or whether some or perhaps the entirety are a fusillade of fabrications, phantasms, confabulations, and falsehoods.
But we will know — and very soon, too. I have in mind an infallible test, one that the Godfather might not even realize he's taking.
There is little that a candidate for public office can do to punish a political operation that is savaging the principal. There just aren't enough hours in the day to (a) push a positive public-policy agenda for the voters, (b) respond to political attacks by competitors and launch his own counterattacks, and (c) chastise third-party liars and libelers clandestinely dispatched by ideological enemies.
He just has to shrug off (c) and hope that nobody believes the slanders anyway; he simply doesn't have the option of nuking the craven dastards properly — that is, while he's still in the game scrambling for nomination or election.
But it's all topsy-turvey once a candidate drops out of the running. At that point, he has given up all hope of election this cycle… so he has nothing left to lose by crushing his tawdry traducers. In fact, if he is to run again in the future with any hope of success, he is obliged to clear his good name; else his next opponent will cheerfully resurrect the old and unanswered charges, jump-starting the scandal serenade once again. The once and never again candidate would be forever barred from running for president, governor, congressman, or Chairman of the Elves, Leprechauns, Gnomes, and Little Men's Chowder & Marching Society.
Thus we come to Mr. Cain, who abruptly announced yesterday that he is no longer in play to be President of the United States… who thus is also finally free to fully answer his accusers — most specifically Miss Ginger White, a longtime "friend" who now claims to have engaged in a 13-year sex romp with the erstwhile CEO of Godfather Pizza.
And so at last we come to the test: Now that Cain has dropped out of the race, if he is an innocent victim of calumny, he must go after Miss White in court.
If Cain sues White for libel and slander, her only defense would be truth. She certainly cannot claim never to have said that they had a long-term affair; she said it on national TV. Nor can she claim that she caused him no damages; arguably, it cost him his shot at the presidency! Neither can she rely upon his status as a public figure (which of course he is), because she certainly knows for a fact whether they had an affair; therefore, if they did not, yet she said they did, then that would certainly satisfy the requirement of "actual malice."
No, no, and no; her only defense is to claim truth. But in such a case, my non-lawyer understanding is that truth is an "affirmative defense"… meaning the burden of proof shifts to the defendant, Miss White, to prove that they did indeed have an affair. Cain would not have to prove they didn't; White would have to prove that they did. If she could not, she would lose her case; White would be slapped with potentially ruinous damages, and more to the point, Herman Cain would be utterly vindicated.
In fact, although there is no logical connection, if a court were to find Miss White liable for libel, or if she 'fessed up and apologized, that verdict would cast grave doubt in most people's minds about all the other accusations against Cain as well; that's just how people think. If the worst charge against him is demolished as a mean-spirited, vicious falsehood, who's going to believe the lesser charges? Only those who never would have voted for him anyway.
Contrariwise, if the dame really can produce the complete cell-phone records she claims to have — including the content of text messages and e-mails that show it really was an affair, not merely friendship — then Cain himself would surely know it. In that case, he might make loud noises and wave his hands in the air, but he would never run the risk of actually filing a lawsuit he was destined to lose. Fighting such a high-profile case and losing it would crush his reputation far flatter than raging to the skies but avoiding a court of law like an atheist shies away from a cross.
So that is the acid test of Herman Cain's veracity and fidelity: Simpy put, if he files a charge of libel and slander in court and dares White to claim "truth" as a defense, then he is very likely innocent of the charges.
But if he fumfahs around, rattling the bars of his cage but never actually making a federal case out of it, then I will fairly conclude that he's guilty on all counts.
As I said, I reckon we'll know pretty soon; Cain's lawyer, Lin Wood, has already demanded those records from White; but he hasn't pulled the trigger yet. Now that Cain is a civilian once more, he's going to have to either fish or get off the pot.
And then we'll all know whether he was a man with a mission — or a man with a secret.

I love recycling. Paper, plastics, glass, metal. It's gotten so that I almost don't need a trash can for my regular garbage.
Yes, recycling is great for trash. But not so for old and tired product advertisements. Today, Oracle has basically recycled a contest and an ad from almost a year ago. On the front page of the Wall Street Journal they offer a $10 million reward if you can show that your Oracle database application would not run twice as fast on Sun hardware. Same challenge, same reward, same interesting rules. The contest rules state that "The Database Application must be limited in speed only by database performance and not by application performance." Sounds realistic, doesn't it? This contest serves to distract the potential contestant from real issues - like balanced application performance, real benchmark numbers, software licensing costs, and RAS.
And we won't even discuss the fact that the "Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant" based on many varied disqualification scenarios.
Did we ever hear about a winner for the first challenge? Big surprise, huh? As big a surprise as the fact that there are still no industry standard benchmarks on the Exadata system featured in the ad to even compare to.
There is an interesting debate going on in my city. Should the city be allowed to have special Recycling Police go through your trash if they suspect that you may be hiding plastics in your garbage? Too bad we don't have recycling police for the media. And contest police too, in this case.

text: I have been having an issue tracking down polly scale concrete for my bucket. I even lucked out at my local hobby shop and was able to pick up some PPR brunswick green, PPR Maroon and reefer yellow. I had to special order the caboose (and I think its custom due to the fact that the image was just the color sample and not the bottle). I know my options for concrete are to use the humrol combo or have the color made up but I was wondering if anyone has found a suitible equivilent. On hand I have a ton of vellijo colors for painting minuatures including a wide range of tans (desert grey, khaki, field drab, tan earth). The closest match visually (as far as i can tell comparing the color to images) is vellijo khaki grey but it seems a little dark. The color sample below is faily close to how the paint looks dried.

Other treatments for urinary incontinence include the following:
Behavioral Therapy
Bladder retraining is often an initial treatment for incontinence, and it requires that you have at least some control over bladder function. For example, if you know that you tend to leak urine 3 hours after you urinate, you could empty your bladder every 2½ hours, then gradually increase the interval between trips to the bathroom.
Not all the muscles involved with bladder control are automatic. You have control over the sphincter that holds urine in. Therefore, you can strengthen it by doing Kegel exercises:
- Tighten the muscles in your bottom as if you were holding in urine and bowel movements. These muscles contract together.
- Hold them as tight as you can for a slow count of ten.
- Relax.
- Repeat 10 times each session and several sessions each day.
Pessaries are devices inserted into the vagina. Most are designed to improve the function of the bladder sphincter by supporting the floor of the bladder.
Regularly emptying the bladder by inserting a tube (catheter) keeps the urine from spilling uncontrollably. Patients with neurogenic bladders can learn how to do this by themselves. Those who are incapable of caring for themselves may need a catheter that remains in permanently.
Nerve Stimulation
To stimulate the nerves, there are devices like Urgent PC and InterStim. The procedure may involve implanting a thin lead wire with a small electrode tip. In some cases, the tibial nerve, which extends down to the ankle, is stimulated. This electronic stimulation therapy can be done as a series of treatments in the doctor's office.
By using electrical sensors, it is possible to make the contractions of the sphincter muscle visible or audible. While attached to such a device, you are encouraged to increase the signal, which strengthens the involved muscle. This form of treatment has not yet become widely accepted.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Except for catheterization, these methods are relatively safe. If you are doing your own catheterization, you will have a training session that will teach you when to call for help, such as:
- Signs of urinary tract infection
- Difficulty inserting or removing the catheter
- Bleeding
- Pain

CD4/CD8 ratio T-cell test
This test looks at the ratio of two important types of white blood cells in your blood.
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell in your immune system. This test looks at two of them, CD4 and CD8. CD4 cells lead the fight against infections. CD8 cells can kill cancer cells and other invaders.
If you have HIV, your CD4 cell count may be low. Without HIV treatment, your number of CD4 cells will likely keep falling. A lack of CD4 cells usually leads to more frequent infection.
This test looks at the ratio of CD4 cells to CD8 cells. The ratio tells your healthcare provider how strong your immune system is and helps predict how likely you are to develop a crippling infection.
In addition to HIV/AIDS, conditions that can be monitored with this test include infectious mononucleosis and other viral infections, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin disease, aplastic anemia, and neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis.
You may need this test if your healthcare provider thinks you have HIV. Some people infected with HIV may develop flu-like symptoms within a few weeks of getting the virus. But other people have no symptoms at all.
Although the test looks at the ratio of CD4 cells to CD8 cells, your healthcare provider may focus on the results of the CD4 count.
You may also have this test to see how well HIV treatment is working.
Your healthcare provider may also order other tests to help diagnose HIV. These include:
HIV test
Complete blood count
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider.
Results for the ratio are given as a number. The results for each cell count are given as a number per cubic millimeter (/mm3).
A normal CD4/CD8 ratio is 2.0, with CD4 lymphocytes equal to or greater than 400/mm3 and CD8 lymphocytes equal to 200 to 800/mm3.
If your ratio is higher than 2, it means your immune system is strong and you may not have HIV.
If your ratio is less than 1, you may have:
AIDS if your CD4 count is less than 200/mm3
Bone marrow problems related to chemotherapy
Multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, or another nervous system condition
Chronic infection
Higher than normal results may mean you have:
Major infection
Viral infection
Type of blood cancer
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Pregnancy can affect your results. Women with HIV may have higher levels of white blood cells, which affects the proportion of CD4 cells. Drinking too much alcohol can also affect your results. Certain medicines such as corticosteroids can affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test. But tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, are a heavy alcohol user, or are taking medicines that could affect your white blood cell count. In addition, be sure your provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

Discussion in 'December 2010' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
In this conference we can. Currently we are 2 games out of the playoff picture.
Would this be a successful season if we make the playoffs?
The Pistons (6-13) are on current pace to finish 26-56. Last year, a .500 record (41-41) was needed to make the playoffs. That's a big gap.
IMO = no. A successful season would be a season where Joe is able to trade away some vets for assets to make us better next season. Another important aspect to a successful 10/11 would be most (if not all) of the Piston youngsters developing physically and mentally through PT. ...and a lucky lottery ball bouncing our way to add a top player to the mix.
I'm with BallDon'tLie. This is only a successful season if enough of our youngguys develop enough to prove they are core guys going forward, and we get value for the old-dudes on the roster (Tay, Rip, Wilcox, Maxiell etc.)
Agreed...We'd probably face the heat in the first round anyways. [SARCASM]At least we'd know that Tay can cover LeBron.[/SARCASM]
we will get better
Who said we didn't have any defense?? We held the heat to 97 points!!! They have 95 vs the Cavs have given up 95 after three....including allowing the heat to shoot 73% in the third quarter Dan Gilbert is turning in his [STRIKE]grave[/STRIKE] straight jacket. I miss the pregame hype, but once again a game where all the advertisement money spent in the 4th qtr will be wasted...as people on the east coast go to bed and those on the west coast switch to Entertainment Tonight.
Simple declaration that speaks the truth. The league is very weak. A very big separation from high talent (perhaps at best, with one per team) and placeholders. Bad corporate ownership following the other empty noddles shaking their heads. This means in picking collaborative and associational talent that has grown up under the entertainment industry.

Stacie Manuel, Arkansas-Winner Women's Pole Vault
"This was a good win. I got a lot of things accomplished and worked on a lot of things. For instance, I was clear until the second to last bar, and I got some poles cleaned up. I knew I had a shot (to win), but I knew it was SEC's and I had to step up. I had a teammate jump a PR, so this was a good meet before nationals."
Shantel Glass, Ole Miss-Winner Men's Long Jump
"I've been working hard and was hoping for the top 3. It felt good to win and to PR, especially after been injured last year. I want to do what my roommate did last year, and that is win both the indoor and outdoor."
Candice Scott, Florida-Winner Women's Shot Put
"I wanted to come out and PR and knew that is what it would take to win. (Competing against second-place teammate LizWanless) I do it in practice so it is always a good thing. Every meet is important, and you have to throw your best. This helped me get ready for the NCAAs."
Tianna Madison, Tennessee-Winner Women's Long Jump
"I've been trying to be a first jump jumper because as the competition goes on everyone gets more tense. All of my best jumps have been easy, so I wasn't sure my first jump was as far as it was. After that it was pretty easy, and after placing second last year, winning is exciting."
Michael Morrison, Florida-Winner Men's High Jump
(Going back and forth from long and high jump) "I lost focus so I was trying to put together some decent jumps. I wasn't pleased with the long jump but winning the high jump made up for it. Winning a championship is always a good feeling."
Peter Kosgei, Arkansas-Winner Men's 3,000-Meter Run
"The main thing was to get everyone good qualifying marks for the NCAAs. (Winning first SEC championship) It was good and running with my teammates was good, too."
Maurice Smith, Auburn-Winner Men's Heptathlon
"I was very pleased with my performance. Whenever I go to a meet, my main aim is to better each mark from the previous meet. This is my last college season, so I wanted to do my thing to get to the NCAAs."
Felicia Guliford, Tennessee-Winner Women's 3,000-Meter Run
"My strategy was to hang back and relax and kick it at the end. I was very comfortable with that strategy and had just a little burn at the end. (Only her second SEC meet) Winning was a great feeling, but it's hard to think about because I have one more day tomorrow."

But before that a little background on myself. My name is Ty and I have been a Star Wars fan since I was 5 years old when I was given the Trilogy for Christmas. I have been heavy into RC for the last 6 years mostly crawlers, but also Rally cars, short course trucks, planes, etc. I have been a photographer for ten years now working for a couple magazines and websites as a freelance photographer and writer. Now that the intro is done with.
I started on a series about a year and a half ago. The series has some pretty conceptual ideas behind it, but for the basics full synthetic environments using Star Wars figures. The early photos used many characters the newer photos use only Stormtroopers. But enough of my yacking. Hope you guys enjoy.
And if anyone was curious I print these as 22" by 33" fine art prints, the scale is really interesting taking figures that are 3.75" tall and making them 8+ inches tall.
Thanks for looking guys!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The problem you describe is typical of insufficient heat transfer area for the temperature gradient of the entering air. You can put as many fans on it as a DC7 has propellers and the thing will be more likely to fly than cool the engine.
Obviously when the cabin is being cooled there are two problems that result in the engine overheat:
1) Air conditioning pulls a lot of power off the engine, more power always equals more heat so the radiaitor needs to work harder.
2)The condenser being in front of the radiator is surrendering heat to the incoming air flow as well as restricting in an aerodynamic sense how much air gets to the radiator.
So the Delta T (temperature differencce) across the radiator is suffering from the flow restriction from the condenser, while it also increases the incoming air temperature to the radiator so less heat transfer can happen while more heat is being put into the coolant. Frankly I'm with your friend in calling the quits at 210, that's just to damn edgy, the down side is the engine needs to be cooled and shutting it off only lets it heat soak to a higher coolant temp. This risks cracking castings because it will get localized boiling without the movement and pump pressure present when the engine is running, sitting still engine off you're 100% dependant that the pressure cap may provide enough system wide pressure to prevent that from happening.
Somewhere in here were the words under-drive pulleys, this is a gamble for a few horsepower on the top end where the thing probably spends little time. These things are dangerous devices in the hands of people who don't appriciate what they are for. In a high RPM engine there is a point where the typical water pump develops much more flow than the engine requires, this is typically a race engine that isn't running air conditioning and is mounted in a relativily open engine room with a lot of airflow around the engine. This is nothing like the typical street driven car with all the gadgets and space restrictions one can put into the engine room. The power extraction from the water pump is an inverse parabolic curve, in that it comes up a little bit but sags against RPMs using damn little power till the RPMs start climbing above 3500 then it gets to a moderate 5 to 7 horses which grows to 20 or 30 horses at 6000. Slowing the pump if it's a production pump starves the engine for coolant flow at low to moderate speeds while reducing the high end impact. A high volume pump can restore the flow while turning slower but this begs the question how much volume is the high volume pump delivering compared to the stock pump? Unless you doing the measuring you'll find this isn't easy data to find other than a percentage aginst some unknown OEM number. So on the street just buy an OEM pump and run it with OEM pulleys and forget the games advertisers suck you into. Racers have turned them faster or slower, shaved off impellor fins and all sorts of bass-akwards tricks to walk the line between enough cooling and reducing power extration when what is needed is a variable speed or variable output pump that sees some slowing or flow reduction from variable vanes as the RPMs go up. But the complexity of such a drive or vane control causes people to shy away. The reason for the need is that pump output goes up geometrically with RPM but the engine's cooling needs go up more linearly. So the pump could use a form of regulation to put it's output into agreement with the engine's coolant flow needs besides spinning the pump and regulating the output through the enigne with a thermostat or restrictor as that doesn't address the power extraction problem of the pump.
If you're really jammed for space and can't get a larger radiator in there or some space between the condenser and radiator, maybe with scoop between them to pull up some air that hasn't been through the condenser will help. After returning to the good sense GM engineers had on pulley ratios, you may find an oil cooler mounted somewhere besides in front or behind the radiator will be helpful. Getting 50 degrees off the oil temp will typically take about 15off the coolant.
The oil leak could be the seal on the back of the manifold. A lot of people use those little rubber pieces with no rtv on them which will cause a leak on the front, rear or both on the manifold.
Can you post some pictures of the fan/ rad setup so we can see what you're working with.
|Jim Rockford
try and get a clutch fan with a thermal clutch , whatever you do don't use a junk *** flex fan, those thing eat HP and the blades can break off and do some damage to the car or someone, Maybe you guys can take some factory stuff and make a good electric fan setups..
You are most likely not moving enough air. If there is room, loose the electric fans and get a good engine drive fan with a shroud and most likely your issue will go away. When the air is on the condenser gets hot and pre heats the air that is supposed to be cooling the radiator. If it is good at idle and on the highway without the air on then the cooling system is most likely up to snuff. I would not put 3 fans on anything. The cases of the fans will be blocking a good portion of the radiator surface area and will probably hurt more than they help.
210 is not to hot but the engine should run at +- 10 degrees of the thermostat rating. If not somethin is wrong.
|the car has aluminum cone where fan should be the electric fans have plastic shrouds on each of them. I cant believe the owner never reseached the temp of his engine ? He shuts off air at 210 i wonder if it gets alot hotter or will it cap out at 210? I will have to buy to find out.I dont think it could be a tough fix.I may not buy it also has oil leak behind engine[rear main?] He just had new clutch install and didnt fix the main??i am suspitious on that one![i would go back to a fan and full shroud that car originaly had]. seeya..Don
210 isnt overheating. You didnt say whether there is a shroud on it or not.
What do the pullies look like on the water pump/ crank. Sounds like he might have those "underdrive" pullies and its getting just enough flow at idle to keep it cool but as soon as the a/c is on there's too much heat for it to keep up.
|okay i saw the car today and took a 15 minut ride it ran just under 180 turned on air but didnt see much movement on guage.He gets nervios when it climbes to 210 and he shuts off air.it has a bigger cam[some lope]it also doesnt have an engine run fan just electric fans on engine side of radiator[pull] 180 thermostat on engine adjustable thermostat on elec.fans How hot should the 350 run? maybe 215/220?..thanks for all the help...Don
I believe what he was saying is that the fans don't have a thermostat, not that the engine doesn't have one.
Op you can use puller fans mounted inside the engine bay or pusher fans mounted on the front of the rab/a/c condenser, although the first method mentioned is better.
Does it have a shroud?
over heat
i agree with CD.. u do need a stat.. if its just a summer driver then go with a 165°. drill one or 2 small (1/8") holes in the stat just inside the gasket area. this will let the air to escape when filling and will prevent air bound. then take a harder look at the fans.. including a shroud.
First thing you should do is install a 180* thermostat. Then you will need a shroud to cover most of the radiator. Do you know the cfm of the fans? I looked up a BE COOL Radiator Module, it has a 19x33 radiator, dual 13" puller fans, 2000 cfm fans with a shroud. In a single fan it takes a 16" diameter, 1610 cfm puller fan, with a shroud that covers most of the radiator. Without a thermostat and a shroud it will always run hot.
|i will go to see car tomorrow picture of motor not to clear i believe they are pushing fans,no shroud and i cant see the fan blade used on engine drive. He said it gets hot in traffic. thanks...Don
|Are they pusher or puller fans? Two 12's should keep it cool just fine if they are pullers. Does it overheat while moving too?
Hello to all!! need some help,looking at an Elcamino 350 crate motor not sure of hp has 650 carb 373 posi.When air is on engine overheats,new alum. radiator 2 12 inch electric fans he told me it needs a 3rd 12 inch fan? the 2 now run constantly[no thermostat] keep air off he said it doesnt overheat.Do you think it just needs that 3rd fan?...thanks for the help...Don

Hello Arlo
I actually did send you information on OSPHO and on SPI Epoxy Primer in a Private Message about 30 minutes after my last post to you. If you didn't get it, I will resend the information. Lizer did explain the difference between Epoxy and 2K Primer. Never apply 2K primer over bare metal, it doesn't have the corrosion resistant qualities that an Epoxy primer does. A good 2K primer is great for achieving build but, somewhat like lacquer primer, it's porous and allows moisture to penetrate through the metal and rust to form underneath. A good route to take is to apply two coats of Epoxy Primer, allow proper flash times and the 2K primer over top...now you have the rust resistance of Epoxy and the build of 2K primer.
2K primers can shrink...if they aren't used properly but, when used properly, with the right amount of time between coats they are an excellent product.
I will resend the information, let me know if you get it, if not we will figure out another way to help you.
Here is the tech manual for SPI products. You won't be disappointed in their products. We have used most, if not all, of the comparable products from the major manufactures and SPI products are more user friendly, more cost effective, and I feel they are better quality as well. The customer service is unsurpassed, help and information is only a phone call away.
Look here: http://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/TechManual.pdf
The great thing about the epoxy--pot life is loooong. Once it's mixed up, it's good for several days. I have gone back 4 days later I think it was, and the epoxy was a lot thicker and didn't spray well, so I pitched it. It's not like a 2k primer or poly primer that sets up in the gun in 30-60 min. Hell there's a 30 minute flash time between coats of epoxy, which means sometimes it may sit in my gun for an hour or more.
So to your concern with epoxy, if you have extra, pour it into a mixing cup and put foil on the top. It's good in there for several days. You can use this time to prep another panel or get something else ready to spray.
I've been pretty good, or lucky, about accurately guessing about how much I need whether it's spraying a single panel or the entire car with epoxy so I usually don't end up with much left over, if any. But it's nice to have several things ready to go at the same time, so once you have sprayed what you really wanted to spray, you can use your leftover to spray on the other panels that are prepped.
The other thing I do is keep a log in the shop where I write down how much I used to spray a certain panel....ie '3 coats epoxy on rear valance, 3 ounces.' Just making numbers up there. Makes it easy to refer back...then I can say well if I used 3 ounces on that, and this new panel I want to spray is roughly about twice as big, I had better mix up about twice as much.
The 2k primers have more mil build than epoxy, sand a little easier, don't require an induction time, and subsequent coats can be shot with much shorter flash times. Basically easier and faster to use. These pro's like to go on and on about using epoxy as a one stop shop for building and filling, I just don't think it's practical advice for an amateur. My panels require a little more help than what any of these guys' will.
People don't like the 2ks because of their tendency for shrinkage which you don't get with epoxy. I can mostly avoid this since I'm also using SPI's 2k which isn't talc-based and uses a different solids substrate that doesn't shrink as as bad. But just to be clear, epoxy and 2k can both be used on the same car...I've been doing 2 coats epoxy on bare metal, do my filler work over that. Then I put another 1-2 coats epoxy over that so the filler can soak it up, and because I've sanded to bare in some spots most likely. Then 2k primer for build and imperfections, block it down, I ended mine with 400 wet, then I went over the entire car once more with epoxy as a 'seal' coat basically to hit any small bare metal spots if I hit an edge or something while sanding, and to give the car a uniform color. Then, because there might be some spots with dust nibs or maybe a little bit of peel, I go 600 wet over the final epoxy coat before base.
ok Ray
I trust what u say about the epoxy primer! So just for talk say, why does any one use the 2k primers than?

Hi Ray
I would like to have u send the info that u talked about. I don't know my way around post that well, or I would have sent it priv. O well, also if u have something on the SPI'S epoxy if not, what is the time u have from the time u mixed until it will set up in gun?
thanks arlo

The situation you have now is that you have Lacquer Primer on your car. In order to do a good job, the Lacquer Primer should be removed. This can be done by sanding or by wiping it clean with thinner. If you choose to wipe the primer off, make sure that that the bare metal is cleaned with a quality wax and grease remover...several times to remove the residue left from the the thinner. Once the metal has been brought back to raw steel, you will be able to see where and how much rust you have.
You mentioned that you don't want to sand blast the metal, is there any reason for that? Another way to go is use a product called OSPHO...this is a chemical that will remove rust and it should be neutralized before primer is applied. If you like, I can send you a PM a little later with all the details.
A lot of people like POR 15, I'm not a big fan. The metal needs to be prepared correctly or it will not stick.
You mentioned that you where concerned about waste when using Epoxy Primer...again, I understand, however, there would seem to be a fair amount of waste of lacquer Primer now. If the parts had been sprayed in Epoxy to start off with, there is a good chance that things would have worked out. Epoxy Primer is much superior to Lacquer Primer in every way. It has much more hold out, it has build qualities, it is water resistant, SPI's Epoxy sands very well and can be directly top coated within 7 days without sanding.
The best thing to do if you are concerned about waste is to mix whatever amount of primer you feel you will need. If you have a little left over, put it on the part, if you need a little more, mix more...you won't be sorry when you use Epoxy Primer.
Let me know if you would like more information on OSPHO, send me a Private Message, or even just a short line on this thread and I will get you the information. I'm not sure if that's what your after otherwise I would do it now.
I hope this helps, again, if you need more information about anything involving your car, please feel free, I am always happy to help.
Body filler showing through epoxy primer
I know I goof a story and questions for 69 Widetrack
I am working on my 30 FORD Coup, I want to keep it original, I am just a original Model A FORD guy. Any way it will not be a show car but want it to look kind of nice. At my age I just want to get it done so I can drive it some be for I am to old to dr.. I have had it for years and never got it on road. To many Irons in fire in early years.
I am not up to date on the new primers and paint. Many years ago I patched and use lacquer thinner, primer and acrylic enamel on my own cars. But 69 widetrack I think you have talked me into trying epoxy primer. I was afraid to try the stuff on small panels or just one fender at a time, when I only need a little bit. I figure I would be wasting a lot. I was told you have to through it away in a few hours.
I have a 4.5 hr. peak air compressor from Harbor freight, I know it is not big enough to use air sander, it seems to do ok with L. primer and black enamel that I used on trunk lid, with the Binks 18 gun. It has the regulator that came with it.
What I did, I used my ½ hr drill with 40 and 80 grit. I striped to bear metal on top of coup and sides of top, used course steel wool and Dupont Metal Conditioner where I figure I need to. I mixed 1 part to 2 part water, [ maybe it to old ] the can said to keep wet while working it, I hand dry it good , said nothing about rinsing of , let dry for 10 more min like can said to do, and prime with my L . Primer, sand re prime sand , did this about 2 months ago. Look good , than I strip front fender and did the same , but I guess I had more little pitting here, it seems smooth , I think u call it black rust. I though the metal cond would work as well here too. This has been just a month now and now 4 or 5 spots pop through primer, the size of pencil lead. So now I am thinking about the epoxy primer. I am still concern about all the waste I will have on what epoxy I have left over.
Now I have the car in basement and run the dehumidifier most of the time. The car sat all winter and the fender was bear a long where we mig weld a spot on edge last nov 2012 and it did not get any rust, and no dehumidifier running all winter , furnace keep basement at about 50 this is by Erie, Pa. In spring I put some fiber glass on spot and filler and meal treated and prime. Then got my popping. Fender is staying on car to do work. Oh I wire brushed under side and brush on black Rust-oleum about 1 yr ago. I thought it would help seal also.now 69 w.t. for the questions-- I am lost on all this new stuff and dont want to sand blast
What can I use ? u told me metal has to be clean and rust free , without sand blasting what do I use? What about POR 15 I saw a post movie clip ,on it.
or do u have something else in mind? thank you for any help arlo
Body filler showing through epoxy primer
thank you guys this is a lot of help for me.
|All epoxy does is provide the best seal for metal against rust ,it does not stop or prevent rust if you just spray over it. the rust issue needs to be addressed before using the epoxy the epoxy then seals it all up (like a condom) ... most epoxies do that, what makes SPI so special is its easy to sand and build so theres no need for any other primers...You can go from bare metal all the way to paint using only this one eopxy, with almost all the other epoxies they dont sand well so you need another primer after the epoxy that you can sand easily...the problems with putting another primer over it are the 2 k primers tend to shrink more and get sand scratch swelling and they chip a lot easier like door edges and rock chips on the front of the car. so eliminating the 2k primer and only using epoxy makes a longer lasting and better job....

Okay...lets start...SPI stand for Southern Poly Urethanes
DIY"s...Do It Yourself"ers
#rd question...that is the Economy line of products from PPG, if you like your vehicle...I would be able to recommend better products at a similar price. Yes you can put filler over top of this product. It will not work over rust. The metal needs to be cleaned and rust free, then applied and it will inhibit rust from forming in the future.
Arlo...If you want a better product at less than 1/2 the price...try this.
That is SPI's web site, A quart of Epoxy primer in White, Gray or Black...will cost you $33.75. A quar of activator will cost you $33.75. That is $67.50 plus tax and shipping is free. With what you where quoted, your cost is about $150.00 compared to $67.50 from SPI. I used to be a PPG rep and used only PPG's DP Epoxy line...until I tried SPI's...I am sold, hooked and will use nothing but...and no, I don't work for SPI...The product is that good...and you can't beat the service.
Hope this helps....try some SPI, then this will really help.
Body filler showing through epoxy primer
I have been reading a lot of what u guy say, I don't understand all of this primer stuff. what does spi brand stand for, and what does DIY'S stand for? For the ones that like ppg epoxy primer is ppg mcp 270 epoxy primer the same as what u guys are talking about or is this another primer by ppg? I was told it is a urethane primer and can put filler over it. I think it is white ish about $50 a qt. with ( DTL 16 ] hardner it is about a $100.It is suppose to work over rust?? or at least stop rust.
thank you for any help
|plus no pro will trust eastwood primers and paints ,it targets DIY'S, who knows what it is or whos making it this week...probably from China like everything else.
|69 widetrack
Because they are PPG rep's and that is what they/we where taught to say. When you represent a paint company's product, you are inducted into the propaganda that their product is the only one and everyone else's product is inferior. That is not the case. I was a big fan of PPG's DP Epoxy before I was rep for PPG. I thought it was the best on the market and to some degree, for the time it was, I was right. There are other products out there today that will out perform PPG's Epoxy and you do not need to use one manufacturer's product throughout a job. If that was the case, we would need to know what manufacturer's product was applied at the factory in case the vehicle needed to be repaired at some point.
With your situation today, I'm not a fan of Eastwood anything. Is their Epoxy primer a bad product, I don't know. The reason I don't know is that I don't know who makes it for Eastwood or to what specifications. Do you need to strip the old Epoxy off and start over, in an ideal world Yes...is it 100% necessary, No. You can prime over top with a quality Epoxy...here comes the pitch....right over the plate. I prefer SPI for many reasons, one being that it's user friendly, two, it's priced right, three it offers great rust protection and easy to sand compared to PPG's DP line of Epoxy.
So there you have it from an ex PPG, Dupont, ICI and Nexa (ICI and Nexa are the same product) Rep. As they said on the old TV show Drag Net, only the facts.
Hope this helps
I gave up.
First I want to thank all of you for all your input in this thread.
I was determined to paint this truck myself, but after my botched attempt at applying acrylic enamel I realize that I am not a painter.
With that said I would like to try to explain what happened. I used Eastwoods epoxy primer and had problems as stated in the beginning of this thread. I talked to a body shop owner about my problems. He being a PPG authorized dealer (or what ever title PPG gives them) he asked me what kind of primer I had used. I told him Eastwood. He paused for a minute and said if I wanted to use PPG I had to take it down to bare metal and start over with PPG products. I then checked with a buddy who lives 30 miles away. He told me to wet sand it with 600 grit and then paint it. So I did, but when I was done I still had bare metal and filler showing in spots. I had the acrylic enamel primer and paint I got on eBay from APP so I painted it with that. At this point is where I think I screwed up. Im not sure if I rushed the primer and painted over it too soon, or did not mix the acrylic enamel properly, or didnt have the gun setup right. But I got huge ugly fisheye and orange peal. I let it set over night and remembered what my buddy said a long time ago and got out the lacquer thinner and washed off the acrylic and see what I got. Well the lacquer thinner took it off down to the Eastwood epoxy. I then called my buddy to see if he could do the painting. Well he too is a PPG guy and told me the same thing to take it down to bare metal and use all PPG products. It does make sense to stick to one manufacture. So it was down to bare metal and PPGs epoxy primer. Once I get the filler (Rage Gold) work done and primed Ill drag the parts and pieces over the mountain to have my buddy paint it with sealer, base coat, and clear coat.
Ok now to stir the pot. Im sure that there are Eastwood guys, PPG guys, and others out there. If you can apply PPG epoxy primers over original manufacture finishes with out taking it down to bare metal than why would both PPG representatives say I would need to take the Eastwood epoxy primer down to bare metal?

Hi all :thumbsup
How many helmet castings do you get from a mould on average ?
Thanks :fettesb
Yeah, I'd also like to know, since I'm planning to scratchbuild a helmet and cast it.
Many factors contribute to the life of your molds. If your casting with polyester your mold will last longer than urethane. Urethane kicks off considerably more heat and is much harder on your molds, you will notice discoloration very early when using urathane, this is your mold absorbing chemicals and breaking down. You can prolong the life of your molds by using mold releases as well you can clean your molds using acetone.
On top all these factors the type and quality of silicone is important.
Not to steal your thread, FettTheHunter, but what if I were to use plaster for the mold? Would that be a really stupid thing to do? I'm just asking because I've seen your work, MarrowSun, and I really admire it.
Well with plaster molds your master must be totaly colvered in some sort of release agent otherwise the plaster will stick to it. Doing this you may lose some detail. Also Plaster is heavy and fragile making it difficult to work with in my opinion. Lastly, depending on what you plan to cast it better not have any undercuts otherwise the mold will end up locked into the casting and you will have to physically break your mold to get the copy out.
go with aluminum molds ;)
Titanium? :D
I'll be using a sillicone rubber mold with a plaster surround, amd casting in fibre glass, will I be able to get six helmets out of it ?Quote:

Do you guys leave the old butyl tape on when you change your windshield?
I been working on my Firebird. I am trying to get the body ready to be blasted. I just got done removing the front and rear windshields.
I used one of those windshield removal tools with the two handles and a blade.
Windshield Removal Tool - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop
The rear windshield came out fine, no damage to the glass. The front however was a real pain. The blade on the tool was not even long enough to cut through the mass of goo. I then tried the guitar string method which seemed to do the trick. Unfortunately the glass cracked on the edge while using the guitar string method.
When I removed the glass, there was so much butyl tape on the windshield frame that even the trim clips were buried under it. It is basically a mess of butyl tape. People must have just piled new butyl tape over the years without ever removing the old butyl tape.
I figured it was just some more poor quality work that has been done to my car over the years until I talked to this neighbor who swears to me that you should not remove the old butyl tape.
What you guys think?
Yes you MUST remove it all, leaving it would be a big mistake on a number of levels.
First off, there is GOING TO BE rust in that channel. I have done way too many of those GM window channels to count and I have NEVER, make that NEV-ER seen one that didn't have some rust that needed to be cleaned up and primed, and only a few with only rust, they most always have rusted holes. The clip studs are often broken, there is just no reason what so ever to leave that junk there.
Now the next decision, do you use the Butyl tape or do you have a glass shop set it in urethane? I have done a pile of those windows on butyl and it seems to work fine if you have covered all your bases. Some worry about the structual aspect, but realistically in my opinion this isn't an issue for a number of reasons. But your car did NOT come with butyl as I thought for years it did. It wasn't urethane either, I think kinda in the middle between the two as far as strength. But non the less, having a glass shop install your new windshield on urethane could be a good way to go. You can do it your self but the learning curve is pretty steep and I would say have someone do it.
Here is a "Basics of Basics" on setting glass. I added a disclaimer at the end warning about using butyl tape because I was getting such flac. But really especially on the back glass I don't see a big deal. But it is a choice for you to make.
"Basics of Basics" Window Setting - Team Camaro Tech
And you are going to want to sand blast your channels and apply epoxy primer by the way.
I have installed a windshield using urethane back in my auto body class I took in high school. I feel confident I can get this done.
More often than not it did just the opposite, trapped water that couldn't leave, and rusted the metal. And if you haven't cleaned up out you don't know what is there. You don't plan on sand blasting the body do you? That is a serious NO NO unless you have piles of experience. You can do some SERIOUS damage to sheet metal panels. We are talking throw them away because they are ruined kinda damage VERY easily.
As long as you know what you are doing, I have seen too many cars destroyed by someone who didn't get it.
I have only changed a single windshield, in a Camaro. I was told to leave a thin layer of the rubber in place, but only if I replaced the windshield at the same time I removed the broken one, so no dirt/contaminates could get on it (it will be sticky).
So that's exactly what I did. All I can say is it didn't leak, and I could see there was no rust (FL car). Guess I was lucky for once.
I was told at another time the urethane was more for vehicles that had air bags. Something about the urethane keeping the glass from popping out when the bags deployed. Hadn't thought of that till just now and no idea if that's true or what.
You wouldn't leave butyl you are talking about urethane, or what the factory used which was like urethane basically. You cut a layer off the urethane with a razor to create a "fresh" urethane to apply more over before setting the window in. And of course this is when you don't have a reason to remove it all like to properly clean the pinch weld of rust or loose paint or what not. But you would never cut the butyl, that is a whole different animal.
As far as the urethane over butyl, it isn't for cars with air bags, there is no car made that I know of that used butyl on the windshield. It was common and I have done a crap load of them where I used butyl, 60's and 70's cars mostly. But as in any modern unibody the windows are a structural part of the body! So the urethane is bonding that glass to the body to make it a part of it. Butyl tape doesn't even come close to doing anything like that, it is VERY weak.
The only butyl used these days is in bolt in quarter glass and back glass applications in some vans and trucks. What they have is a plastic body around the glass, they call it "incapsulated glass". This plastic piece has studs sticking out of it that stick thru holes in the body at the window mounting area. The window is being held in by those studs and the butyl. Slider rear truck windows are often held in like this.
By the way, not that it means jack but I have an ICAR certification for glass, all it means is at one time I sat thru a class on this so I am repeating what I learned there.
Maybe the ones I've seen (and the Camaro) were already replaced previously. Because they were rubber, not urethane. No mistaking one for the other. Mind you, the newest of these was the '81. Others older by a fair margin.
When did the OM quit using the sticky rubber, or are you saying none ever used it? Not arguing, trying to learn siomething.
Well in cutting out windows in sixties cars I remembered it as being a very rubbery substance with a string thru the middle. Apparently it came on big rolls and they pulled it off the roll and put it on the glass before setting it at the factory. That apparently was a "damn" so the adhesive, a urethane "Like" substance that held the window in wouldn't ooze out into the passenger compartment when the glass was pressed in.
Here is what was posted on how it was done at the factory on a thread about window setting at the Team Camaro site. And can be found there...Setting glass - Butyl or Urethane? ... AAARG!!! - Chevelle Tech
"GM never used butyl tape or anything like it to install windshields or backlites. Period.
The body opening flange was coated with black silane primer using a flow-brush 30 minutes prior to installing the glass, and all the reveal molding clips were installed to the Body Shop-installed weld studs.
The glass was placed on a powered rotating fixture, inside edge up, retained by suction cups.
The glass periphery was cleaned using a solvent, dried, and a different silane primer was applied.
A fabric-reinforced self-adhesive foam rubber "dam" was extruded and applied to the glass just inboard of where the Thiokol adhesive would later be applied; the purpose of the "dam" was to contain any Thiokol "squeeze-out" so it wouldn't show from the inside past the edges of the interior garnish moldings after the glass was installed to the body.
After dam application, pumpable Thiokol adhesive (with a pyramid-shaped cross-section created by the dispensing tip) was applied adjacent to the dam, all the way around the glass.
Lower glass supports were fixture-located and screwed to the cowl, and rubber spacer blocks were glued to the opening flange. The spacer blocks set the height of the glass relative to the body to ensure a good fit of the reveal moldings.
The prepared windshield was removed from the rotating fixture, installed in the body opening, and pressed down against the rubber spacer blocks; wooden tonque depressors were used to "paddle" the Thiokol around the edges at a 45* angle from the top edge of the glass to the bottom edge of the body opening to ensure a continuous seal all the way around the glass.
Reveal moldings were installed.
That was the plant production process, and explains what is sometimes described as a "rope" being found when an original windshield is removed - the "rope" is the fabric-reinforced rubber "dam" that was applied prior to applying the Thiokol adhesive.
If you'll look in Section 4 ("Fixed Glass") in the Fisher Body Service Manual, you'll see exactly the same process for windshield replacement, except the "dam" wasn't included with the Service kit - masking tape was used instead to control "squeeze-out".
The Thiokol installation passed the Federal MVSS windshield retention tests, and contributed substantially to the body's torsional stiffness; it also helped the structure pass the roof crush test. It's illegal to replace a windshield with butyl tape, although some glass shops do it as a less-expensive short-cut method instead of doing the job right."
As I present in that threat at Team Camaro, these cars aren't unibodies and the glass is doing nothing but keeping water and debris out of your car. :D In a collision while driving a 1968 Camaro if your windows being set by urethane were to make a difference over butyl you are in BIG trouble and that glass attachment is the least of your worries. That being said, why not do it in urethane so there is NOTHING to think about. When I was setting windows on a regular basis on butyl, I was doing it without any training or understanding of what I was doing and I feel bad about that now.
It's like the old argument that you will get from people on the forums "I do it and it works", we all have heard that over and over. Well I set windows on lacquer primed, lacquer painted pinch welds with Butyl tape over and over, and they didn't leak. That didn't make it right! That was HORRIBLY wrong, now with a little education (that damn book learning) I have learned (and it makes sense) that was miles from proper. So I am building a car, I am sand blasting window pinch welds cleaning it all out. What is the difference from that point to do it right, epoxy primer over bare metal, then protect that from paint so you can set the glass on urethane over that epoxy primer, OR you paint the pinch weld and use butyl tape? The difference in how well that glass in mounted is HUGE, the difference in work or money or time doing it is next to nothing, so why not do it right?
Like I have said my Gran Sport has a windshield set on butyl tape, over epoxy primer. I feel, it's an old car I am screwed in a bad accident anyway, that is good enough for me. But it would have been just as easy (realistically) to install it with urethane. The urethane application learning curve is VERY steep though. Butyl tape is a sure thing home hobbiest level product. Applying urethane is NOT, yes it can be done but holy cow can it be screwed up too!
So a decision has to be made by anyone setting their glass, make it and live with it.

I am getting ready to attach my back plate to my vest. How many and where should I put the snaps?
Printable View
I am getting ready to attach my back plate to my vest. How many and where should I put the snaps?
You seek Seeker;)
I only attached velcro to the top where it connect with the collar armor and the bottom sides of the back plate.
Robert :fettrotj
Unless I am mistaken, the backplate only connects underneath the collar armor, and it is secured with the collar armor bolts.
The bottom of the backplate gets some support from the jet pack frame.
and the collar armor attaches to the vest the same way as the chest armor does?
I've got velcro under the whole collar piece, just like the rest of the chest armor, and some under the top lip of the backplate to hold it in place so it doesn't pull the collar into my throat. Then some more velcro sewn on either side of the rear vest opening, and corresponding backplate "wings". The backplate attaches to the collar with the four #8-32 screws of the collar studs.
Mine is attached to the color with clips( I didn't want to have to mess with screwing the nuts on and off) then I have velcro at the bottom of the armor and the vest to hold it in place if I lose my jet pack in a fight:D
Yeah, I can understand about the screws. I found it tedious as hell, but worth it. Once the armor's on, it's secure. No "shifting during flight".;)
Originally, I just unscrewed one whole side, but I was afraid I'd crack the armor trying to flex it on and off. It made me nervous.
Thanks for all the help!

Hey, everyone, I'm new to the boards, but I've been passionate about Fett since I first saw Empire... I've always wanted to make my own armor, but until now have not had the funds, nor the skills to do it. Nor the permission, as I was a young'un. Now that I'm 18, I really want to make my armor, but I've decided to do a custom job. My armor will be Black, Gunmetal Grey, and Silver when I'm done... Leather Jango-style armor vest... Most likely a stubby style pack.
I have one question though, as I'm going to try and build this all from the ground up... How would I go about the gauntlets?
My current plan is to buy a cheap pair of Soccer shin guards, some elastic sort of fabric, and some foam of some sort -- rigid foam. I plan to sew the fabric to the underside of the shin guards (the hard "fronts" being the top), so that it is enclosed and able to be slid on rather quickly. The top of the shin guards will be heavily modified with rigid foam, stuff that can be chopped and carved into the shapes of the gauntlets... And then I plan to coat the whole thing with PlastiDip. http://www.plastidip.com/consumer/index.html
Anyone think this will work...? :-\ I'm really curious as to see if it does... Cuz... well, how hard is styrene to form...? Should I just go that route...?
-Until later, I remain --

No redemption for Price; Thompson repeats with fifth round KO
By James Slater at ringside
Photos: Scott J. Raven
Heavyweight Tony Thompson (38-3, 26 KOs) scored an exciting fifth round stoppage over 2008 Olympian and British heavyweight champ David Price (15-2, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. Price almost got revenge for his KO loss to Thompson in February when he dropped Thompson in round two, but Thompson turned the tables to pummel Price in round five to get the stoppage. Time was 1:55.
Thompson survived a hard second round knockdown courtesy of a David Price right hand. With a real slugfest shaping up, southpaw Thompson had Price under heavy fire in the fourth and especially in the fifth. Price, unable to hold his man, was looking exhausted as he ate a ton of lefts and rights to the head. Backed into a corner in the fifth and appearing all done, Price was given a count and was then deemed too hurt to go on. There were no complaints.
Kevin Satchell of Liverpool retained his British and Commonwealth flyweight titles with a hard fought, at times thrilling 12 round UD over fellow unbeaten Ian Butcher. Surviving a heavy 2nd round knockdown when a right hand to the head had his legs all over the place, the defending champ beat the count somehow and battled back. It was nip and tuck the rest of the way and both men threw plenty of leather. Satchell is now 11-0 (2). Butcher, who can come again, is now 8-1 (3).
Liverpool light middle Neil Perkins kept his perfect record in improving to 4-0 (1) with a six round shutout over 24 bout veteran Dan Blackwell. Perkins bloodied Blackwell's nose and also impressed with his body work. The Liverpool man, a southpaw, won by a 60-54 margin.
Darren Hamilton retained his British light welterweight belt for the third time with a convincing 12 round unanimous decision over a confident but ultimately out-fought and outworked Adil Anwar. After a reasonably bright start by the cocky, hands held low challenger from Leeds, Hamilton of london took over. Belting his man with stiff jabs and rights and lefts to the chin, the defending champ was all bysiness, ignoring Anwar's showboating. The late rounds saw Anwar having to dig deep so as to see the final bell. Hamilton though, is no huge puncher. The winner improved to 14-2 (3). Anwar fell to 19-2 (7).
Unbeaten light middle Marcin Marczak out pointed a durable Kevin McCauley over four entertaining if onesided rounds to improve to 7-0 (3). McCauley fell to 11-56-3 (0). "The Polish Express" enjoyed a vocal supporting crowd.
Travis Dickinson won a competitive six rounder at light heavyweight as he out pointed game 32 bout veteran Nathan King. Dickinson landed plenty of right hands but King was tough indeed. The score was 59-56 and Dickinson improved to 15-1 (5).

We have been so thrilled to work with you all on the latest revival of the mighty Pyrobar. There are not enough words to express the gratitude we feel toward you all. In its rich history (in burner terms), many have supported it with their blood and sweat, and it made the Pyrobar the very dear and special thing it is. Now it is time to simply enjoy it in its present "glory" and have some plain silly fun. The LA decompression party was a fantastic event and we had a great time. The local fire troops and aerialists jointed forces to create the "Playastanis", a wonderful show-thank you all! We bring her out again for the Fishbon wacky xmas event, mid December, if not before ;-)

Police say Pembroke man tried to fill fake prescription
MANCHESTER - A Pembroke man was arrested after police said he tried to get medication using a fake prescription.
Justin Wilson, 30, was arrested Tuesday afternoon at Walmart, 300 Keller St.
Police said they were called by the pharmacist about 3:30 p.m. after Wilson tried to obtain Adderall, a medication prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, using a photocopied prescription from a doctor's office in Newburyport, Mass.
The pharmacist noted other characteristics of the prescription that seemed suspicious, according to police, and then called the Newburyport doctor's office, verifying it was false.
Wilson was arrested and charged with prohibited acts.

A few weeks ago I went apple picking. There is just something so satisfying, twisting the apple off the tree and placing it lovingly into your bag. Crunching on one or two as you pick. And watching the dog eat the rotten cores lying on the ground.
Sometimes there are too many wonderful choices. Do I pick Cortlands for the pie, Jonathans because they can be cute and juicy, or Golden Delicious because they're not red? Or maybe I even go over to the vines adjacent to the orchard and pick grapes for jam.
And that's how I felt today looking at all the exciting announcements:
Today IBM announced new Storage Systems that are designed to increase efficiency and are optimized for workloads such as Transaction Processing and Analytics. The extensive list of storage innovations announced today builds on technology such as IBM System Storage Easy Tier software, which was invented by IBM Research and can improve performance significantly by automatically moving active data to SSDs.(1) Today the IBM Power 795 achieved the highest result ever published on the two-tier SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) standard application benchmark. The 128-core Power 795 handled 79 percent more users than a 256-core Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 (Oracle's largest system) and over 1.8 times more users per core than a brand new HP DL980.(2) Today IBM also announced everything from a new version of PowerVM with industrial-strength virtualization to IBM Smart Analytics System enhancements to a new Power 740 8-core server.
That afternoon we picked 32 pounds of apples and made two batches of apple rings, an apple pie, apple slices -- and squid in red wine sauce without apples. I was exhausted -- but I'm hoping to make it to the orchards this weekend because I surely can't miss the Melrose.

NIAGARA UNIVERSITY, N.Y. – Senior catcher Zachary Passerelle (Sparta, N.J.) hit a solo home run to lead off the 10th inning, which lifted the Marist baseball team to a 6-5 victory at Niagara in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) game on Sunday.
Passerelle finished the day 1-for-4 with two RBIs. Senior shortstop Nick McQuail (Wantagh, N.Y.) went 2-for-5 with a run scored. Eight different Red Foxes had hits, six scored runs and five drove in runs. Marist outhit Niagara, 9-6.
Niagara got on the scoreboard first with a run in its first at-bat. The Purple Eagles held a 1-0 lead until the fourth, until the Red Foxes scored one run in each of the next five innings.
Passerelle's sacrifice fly tied the game in the fourth, and Marist took the lead in the fifth on an RBI single by freshman designated hitter Tyler Kirkpatrick (Eagleville, Pa.). Sophomore second baseman Joey Aiola (Suffern, N.Y.) had an RBI single in the sixth to put Marist up 3-1.
Niagara scored a run in the sixth, but Marist went up 4-2 in the seventh on an RBI single by junior first baseman Steve Laurino (Carle Place, N.Y.). However, the Purple Eagles took a 5-4 lead in the bottom half of the inning on a three-run homer by designated hitter Pavel Chavez-Rusov. Marist responded in the eighth with a two-out rally, and tied the game on an RBI single by freshman third baseman Ben Moller (Warrington, Pa.).
Freshman right-hander Sean Keenan (Dayton, N.J.) picked up the win with 3.2 innings of relief, and is now 4-1. Freshman right-hander Ryan Thomas (Ringoes, N.J.) used just nine pitches to toss a scoreless 10th for his seventh save. Senior left-hander Jordan Eich (Spencerport, N.Y.) allowed just three hits and two runs, one of which was unearned, in the first 5.1 innings.
For Niagara, Kevin Lucas (1-1), who went the final three innings, took the loss in relief. Chavez-Rusov and right fielder Anthony Firenzi each had two hits.
Marist improved to 13-30 overall and 6-12 in MAAC play; Niagara fell to 15-25 overall and 8-11 in the MAAC.
Marist returns to action next week with a three-game MAAC series against Saint Peter's to close out its home schedule. The Red Foxes and Peacocks will play a doubleheader on Saturday, followed by a single game on Sunday. First pitch on both days is scheduled for noon.

The new chat seems pretty cool, but I used to like how you could browse threads and chat at the same time.
Two tabs Bill. You can also pop out the chat into a smaller window.
I know. I know. Just sayin'.....
you're really fixing to nerd it up
Done. NBA only forum is no more. Please put all NBA + Pistons threads in this master forum now. Thanks in advance. I will do the Tigs, Leos and Wings forums in the next week.
Any concerns about merging the bball forums yet?
I like it. Now everything is all in one place and it seems to have reduced the redundancy a tad. It's a lot easier to find KGREG's posts and disagree with him.
Do what?
Ideas for names for the combined Red Wings, Tigers and Lions forum?
Competitive Detroit Sports Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lions, Tigers, Bears, Red Wings
Detroit Pro Sports Detroit Sports Scene
PISTONS and ROSCOE FOREVER
I want people to be able to talk about non-competitive stuff too like the Philadelphia Eagles. These are pretty good.
In the non-competitive category, how about "Tater Talk" ? For Wings, Tigers, and Lions, how about "Holland, Dumbo, and The Pits." ?
The goal here is to eliminate forums which dont get posts half the year (hockey and football forums) by rolling them in with other sports, so we're always talking baseball if not hockey if not football. I am thinking NCAA, NFL, MLB and NHL Sound good?
Would you want to include golf, soccer, or other sports in this forum, too? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger believes an injection of self-belief was critical to his team's FA Cup victory on Sunday.
Arsenal were staring a fourth-round exit in the face at half time as goals from Richard Dunne and Darren Bent had put the visitors on the front foot.
But a spirited reply paid dividends as three goals in just seven second-half minutes booked Arsenal's place against either Middlesbrough or Sunderland in the last 16.
"I said that we have the character and the determination to stay in this competition," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "It was a good test of our mental qualities and I think we passed it in a positive way.
"There is a good spirit in the squad and that came out. It was a bit harsh for us to be 2-0 down at half time.
"Once you get back to 2-1 you know you can come back and I think we did that very well today. I must say I am very proud of the players.
"I feared that the impact of the results before might be too much for us to come out with such a reward. But the players showed a great response."
Watch the full interview with the boss on Arsenal Player now.

The Canisius volleyball team saw its season-long four-match winning streak come to an end in a three-set loss at Iona College on Friday afternoon. The Golden Griffins lost 25-22, 25-23, 25-19 to the host Gaels in the Hynes Athletic Center as Canisius falls to 10-14 overall and 8-5 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Freshman Jacklyn Malusa led Canisius with 11 kills, her ninth match this season with double-digit kills. Senior Emily Elek had 10 kills and four blocks while senior Roxanne Hernandez led the Griffs with five blocks. Junior Emily Litwin added 19 digs.
"We knew going into this last portion of the schedule that we would have to win points and key portions of the match, and we just made too many critical errors at critical times," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "Iona played better than us today and brought more energy and aggressiveness throughout the entire match."
Canisius scored the first seven points of the match on the serve of senior Sydney Palka and built a 14-5 lead after a kill from Malusa. The Gaels then used a 10-1 run to even the score at 15-15. Another kill from Malusa halted that spurt from the Gaels while Canisius didn't trail until Iona went up 21-20 after a block. A kill from Malusa made it 22-22 but the Gaels took the final three points of the set.
Iona (12-12, 10-4) built the big lead in the second set, going up 12-6 and eventually leading 17-11. Canisius got back in the set with a 7-2 run, including two kills from Malusa and a block and kill from Hernandez. Canisius eventually evened the score at 21-21 and a kill from senior Jessica Warner gave Canisius the lead at 22-21. Iona would win the next three points to go up 24-22.
