Steve Pearce Elects Free Agency
Baseball America reports that Steve Pearce has elected minor league free agency. Pearce was the only player eligible for minor league free agency that we hadn't heard about yet, with the other players already electing free agency. The Pirates outrighted Pearce to AAA after the season, and because he had at least six years of pro experience, he was able to opt for free agency, rather than remaining in the system....

Please Note: For safety reasons, we do not accept returns of Baader film. Please make sure that you order the right type and size for your needs.
Product Details
Baader AstroSolar Safety Film - 8" x 8" (203mm x 203mm) square piece. Other film sizes referred to in the description below are all sold separately.
A. Information About Our Pre-Cut Baader Solar Filter Film Pieces
We offer Baader AstroSolar Safety Filter Film pieces in a visual optical density (OD) or neutral density (ND) of 5.0. This implies that the filter film will block 99.999% of the solar intensity; in other words, it has a transmission of 0.00001 or 0.01% only.
This is suitable to make your own:
(i) Solar viewing glasses or observing card (for direct solar viewing without the use of optical equipment), or
(ii) Front-mounted solar filters for telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, or large camera lenses.
Baader sells their AstroSolar Safety Film in just three sizes (A4 7.9x11.4" sheet, medium 19.7x39.4" roll, and extra large 46x46" roll). Since 2003, we have been providing amateur astronomers and photographers worldwide with Baader film in many sizes and at excellent prices. Besides the original A4 sheet and medium roll, we also offer Baader film in smaller 1.5", 2", 2.5", 3", 4", 5", 6", 7" and 8" square pieces.
B. Baader AstroSolar Safety Film - Brief Overview
In its September 2000 issue, Sky & Telescope magazine proclaimed Baader Planetarium's AstroSolar Safety Film to be "the new standard in solar filters." AstroSolar Safety Film provides white light views of the Sun that are unmatched by any other front-mounted solar filter or material.
The views through AstroSolar Film display fine solar details, including fine penumbral detail in sunspots, solar granulation, and lighter colored faculae. The solar disk is set against a dark background, free of the haze and scatter that is common in typical 'mylar' films or inexpensive glass filters. The performance of AstroSolar is even more remarkable when considering its very low cost. When combined with Baader's tips for a simple do-it-yourself filter mount (see below), anyone can construct a complete low cost, high quality, white light solar filter for any telescope, binoculars, or camera lenses.
What is even more important - with AstroSolar Film the Sun appears in its real color - neutral white (with only a slight bluish tint). Other films and glass filters produce a blurry bluish or reddish/orange/yellow solar image, thereby cutting part of the spectrum. Especially with an orange sun, it is very hard to see faculae regions which are visible predominantly in the blue portion of the light spectrum.
Due to its neutral color balance, AstroSolar Film can be used with various other color (or interference) filters which allows the observer to concentrate on certain spectral passbands for investigations of different layers within the solar "atmosphere." It is also possible to further improve the stability and sharpness of the solar image through the use of the Baader Solar Continuum Filter (sold separately). Views of granulation and faculae are particularly enhanced through the use of this continuum filter, in combination with AstroSolar film. Users of achromatic refractors will be particularly pleased with the performance using this additional filter.
Please note that you cannot see solar prominences with white light solar filter film such as this - that requires the use of sophisticated and significantly more expensive narrowband solar filters or specialized solar telescopes.
C. Making Your Own Solar Filter
While many commercially made solar filters are available, either using Baader AstroSolar or other film types, it is fairly easy and much cheaper to make your own custom solar filter for your telescope or camera. Instructions for making a simple solar filter cell are included with the film piece you purchase (the instruction sheet can also be downloaded from the link below). Baader AstroSolar film filters must be mounted in the front of the telescope. A simple Google search for solar filters will show you dozens of sites with examples of filters other amateur astronomers have made, along with some excellent photos of the Sun shot with this filter material.
You can construct a full aperture filter or a smaller off-axis filter for your telescope. In most cases, an unobstructed filter size of 3-4 inches in diameter should be sufficient. Make a larger or full aperture filter if you have a long focal length telescope and/or plan to observe with high magnifications which dims the image. Larger filters also provide higher contrast, higher resolution (since you are using a larger aperture, the theoretical resolving power is higher), and are more comfortable to use (since you get a larger exit pupil) when the conditions are good. On the flip side, a smaller aperture provides steadier images when seeing conditions are turbulent, which is most often the case in most places.
D. Appearance of Baader AstroSolar Film
At first glance, Baader AstroSolar Film appears to be like a thinner version of ordinary aluminum foil. You will often notice streaks, bends or dents on the Baader film you receive. Sometimes, it also appear that the film might be slightly "warped." This is absolutely normal and natural, and it does not imply that the filter film is defective. The optical and mechanical properties of the film are not compromised. Please also note that the "flashlight test" is not a good way of inspecting this film. Putting it right against a very bright light will show a very mottled and non-uniform appearance, but again, this is normal and does not indicate a problem with the film piece.
E. Eye Safety
AstroSolar Film is essentially free from pinholes since, unlike even the most expensive glass filters, it is coated on both sides. Hence, the chance of two pinholes overlapping each other is extremely small. Pinholes do appear, but to 1 out of 10000 only, in optical density 2.5! This is because pinholes act as diffuse sources of light, not point sources. Baader AstroSolar safety film has been approved for eye safety by the National Bureau of Standards in Germany, the PTB. Unlike any other solar filter on the market, AstroSolar is CE-tested according to EG-Norm 89/686 and EN 169/92 (notified body 0196). All processes connected to this product have been thoroughly tested. Coatings are inspected constantly for consistency to ensure your eye safety!
F. Technical Specifications
- AstroSolar Safety Film is a specially manufactured streak and blister-free foil only 0.012mm thick.
- The film is manufactured by Baader Planetarium, Germany.
- The base material is not cheap Mylar. The quality of the solar image is immeasurably better than can be achieved by using so-called Mylar "rescue blankets" or similar materials.
- The basic development of this precision film was made in laboratories for nuclear and particle physics. Due to its absolute homogeneity, the foil attains the optical performance of high quality plane-parallel glass filters.
- High density coatings on both sides of the foil ensure a highly uniform filtering capacity without pinhole effect, resulting in an extremely contrasty solar image with neutral density characteristics. The Sun appears in its real color - neutral white - not blue or orange.
- The coating of AstroSolar Safety Film is subject to constant quality control. Its reflective property (reduces intensity of sunlight by over 99.999%, i.e., by a factor of over 100,000 in the case of visual film) and security for direct solar observation is tested repeatedly by the PTB (German National Bureau of Standards for Eye Safety).
- One layer of this foil is sufficient for the construction of a safe, high resolution solar filter.

G. Cleaning AstroSolar Film
We strongly recommend that you store your completed filter in a container to protect it from dust and damage when you are not using it. Similarly, protect any unused filter material so that it is in new condition when you need it. Fingerprints on the metallized surface are to be avoided under all circumstances. It has the same consequence as putting fingerprints onto a telescope mirror.
Since your AstroSolar filter will be open to dirt and dust, the coating may require cleaning after extended exposure. If the dust is loose, you may be able to blow it off with compressed air or an airbulb, both available in camera stores. Since the coating is harder than regular aluminum coatings applied on mirror surfaces, it can be cleaned with a solution of dishwater detergent and distilled water. Obtain sterilized cotton wool (as used for eye application), available in pharmacies. Normal cotton wool as used for cosmetic purposes should NOT be used!
Use careful, gentle strokes. For each stroke, a new portion of cotton should be used, soaked with the cleaning solution. This helps to avoid scratches in the metal surface due to dust grains picked up by the cotton.
Check the cleaning result by holding the cleaned filter up to the Sun. If scratches or pinholes show up, exceeding a combined uncoated area of 10 square mm, the film is regarded as unsafe and must be destroyed. Tiny pinholes can be covered with a black felt-tip marker. If the filter becomes very dirty, we encourage you to replace it, rather than risk damage in the cleaning process.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Fan Favorite at LAX
She's always on the go, it seems, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley showed up at LAX International Airport on Thursday evening (June 26) to find a flock of fans awaiting her arrival.
The "Mad Max: Fury Road" actress smiled and signed autographs as she made her way through the terminal, sporting a chic black leather jacket.
Rosie starred in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," and it sounds like she's a big fan of the latest film in the franchise, "Transformers: Age of Extinction."
Of the new series star Nicola Peltz, she tweeted, "Love this girl… @nicolaannepeltz she's a star in the making! We sat down and I interviewed her for @violetgrey."

Home sales are seeing some of the best days in several years. According to the National Association of Realtors, homes sales across the country are up to the highest level in six and a half years.
The Bangor area is seeing the same increase with home sales in August totaling 206, an increase of almost 10%. Statewide, home sales were up 20%.
"So now that there are a few more homes on the market and sellers are realizing that properties are selling, we have more opportunities for buyers to find that perfect home for them," says Julie Williams, Manager at ERA Dawson Bradford Realtors.
"In the two weeks that our house has been on the market, we have had I think 14 couples see it already and it's already under contract," says Becky Bennett, who is selling her home.
Williams says the surge in buying is thanks to low interest rates and new development in the Bangor area.

In the past year, out of practically nowhere, it seems, a new website has captured the attention of both parents and teens. When I first made my Pinterest account, I only knew of ten friends who had accounts as well. However, just a few months later, that number has doubled and tripled. Teens cannot get enough of Pinterest – a website where "pins" of pictures often lead to creative websites and ideas.
Why is Pinterest suddenly so popular among teens? Although it is impossible to pinpoint an exact reason, there are five aspects of Pinterest and its community that certainly contribute to its appeal.
1. Pinterest contains an endless supply of inspiration – and ways to bring that inspiration to fruition.
Many pins on Pinterest are links to do-it-yourself projects or neat ideas. Unlike many other websites, the DIY projects often have clear directions so that teens are not left guessing. For the crafty teen, Pinterest not only offers ideas for creative endeavors, but it provides teens tried-and-true methods to eliminate guesswork.
2. Pinterest does not feel like a judgmental community.
No one wants to be judged – especially on the internet. In this respect, Pinterest seems to provide what Tumblr, Twitter, and even Facebook have not. On most popular social networking sites, teens go to great ends to keep their pages private from people they know and to make a socially appealing blog. Pinterest, however, lacking the means for anonymous hate messages and judgmental messages, has a much more accepting community. Teens can repin whatever appeals to them, without fearing judgment.
3. Pinterest is divided into easy categories.
When scrolling through a Tumblr dashboard, one can feel overwhelmed by pictures that are meaningless to them. Pinterest solves this problem with easy categories. Right from the homepage, it is easy to select a desired category, such as DIY & Crafts, Humor, Women's Apparel, and more. Pinterest takes the guesswork out of social networking, so teens can see what they like and only that.
4. It is easy to organize pins and repins into categorized boards.
Some teens just love the organized feeling of Pinterest. When you open an account, you start by creating boards – folders to categorize pins into. These boards can have any name to suit any category. One board can hold all of a teen's favorite makeup and hair ideas and pins, while another can display the same teen's favorite cars. Boards allow a teen to display all their interests without seeming condescending or disorganized.
5. It is just another novelty website.
Face it, even if Pinterest were not chock full of cool ideas, a safe feeling environment, and easy categories, teens would still be hopping on the band wagon to try it out. Similar to the creation of Google +, teens create an account because a new website always seems like a new start on the internet. Even if the teens do not like it, they will often give it a chance. Luckily, in the case of Pinterest, a dislike for the website does not seem to be a problem.
Pinterest is quickly expanding, and more and more teens will continue to create accounts. Although every teen will have their own motivation for doing so, these are five of the features that have made Pinterest so irresistible.

The redemptive quality of a story
In her essay "The Grotesque in Southern Fiction," Flannery O'Connor writes that readers desire and even need something uplifting in the books that they read."There is something in us," she says, "as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored."At Thomas Nelson, where I work, we strive to publish stories that are in some sense redemptive.

Respect My Authoritai!
Still thinking on Clay Shirky's piece on algorithmic authority. I know I'm in a fading demographic, for whom the Internet arrived, it wasn't just here, but in my own serious work—that is, my day job—I still lean on the traditional forms of authority for back-up or confirmation. Sure, for a particular spelling of a word, occasionally I go quick-and-dirty with Google: 12 million hits this way, 7,000 hits that way, guess I'll go this way. But if I need solid information on a subject I lean on The New York Times not Wikipedia. The latter isn't the disaster I thought it'd be but it's hardly foolproof. Neither is the Times, i know, but on the Times site you wouldn't come across what I came across on Wikipedia on Tuesday:
Harriet Ellan Miers (born August 10, 1945) is an Astronaut and former White House Counsel. In 2005, she was nominated by President George W. Bush to be an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, but opposition from both sides of the political spectrum led President Bush to withdraw the nomination at Miers' request.
An astronaut? I wasn't sure if it had to do with this comment or not, which Miers made in 1996 about then-Governor Bush:
In a note to him a few days later, Miers described a little girl at the event who got his autograph. Miers wrote, "I truly believe, if the Governor told her she should be an Astronaut, she would do her best to become one. I was struck by the tremendous impact you have on the children whose lives you touch."
On the plus side, without any prompting from me, it took Wikipedia less than 24 hours to change "Astronaut" back to "American lawyer." Even so.

Scented Business CardsScented business cards can attract your customer's nose - and their business.
Here's how to give your cards any fragrance you choose:
Place your cards inside a preferably airtight container with scented oil or potpourri of your choice.
You can apply the scented oil to a small cloth or tissue. Using a small container can help speed up the process.
If your business involves food, flowers or other aromas, scented business cards make perfect sense.
For example:
Just place several candles in your most popular fragrance inside a container with your business cards.
You can use the same "recipe" with soap to achieve the sweet smell of success.
You won't have to tell anyone how great your products are. Your cards will do it for you!
Our sense of smell is the strongest of our five senses in terms of memory. Studies have even linked a diminished sense of smell to memory problems.
If your market happens to be mostly female, scented business cards might be even more effective. Of the two genders, females have the stronger sense of smell.

text: Posted August 4, 2013 I hate when guys use fake names, when I was stationed in conn I had this girl keep calling my sub trying to track me down but I didn't know her. Come to find out one of my shipmates gave her my name, might not have been so bad but she was close to three hundred pounds and looked like she needed a shave. My brother was stationed in Connecticut and as far as I know he didn't have but one of those nights. I don't think girls like that should worry about names though man, that's a big problem and I'm surprised your shipmate didn't leave you out to dry for it.

Raised Beds
Our range of Raised Beds include award winning wooden raised bed kits, steel raised beds, recycled plastic raised beds, netting and mesh protection covers and strong liners.
Raised bed gardening is the way many 'grow-your-own' vegetable gardeners are heading and rightly so you can grow in otherwise unsuitable soil or locations, offer improved drainage and soil structure (you can tailor the soil to the crops you're growing) and the extra height of soil increases rooting depth, allowing you to grow a real variety of vegetables in a confined space.
And that's not all; cloches, tunnels or frames can easily be erected over the beds to support protection netting; there's no need to walk on the soil so compaction is avoided; you can work at a comfortable height (especially handy for wheelchair users and those with back problems) and the close planting creates a micro-climate leading to healthy plants and bigger crops. You may also have some nasty soil borne disease in your vegetable plot or allotment and a raised bed will get you growing again.
Now you're hooked on the idea, the next question is can we help? A resounding yes is the answer, in the form of wooden raised bed kits, recycled plastic last-a-lifetime link-a-bord kits, a steel version for that contemporary look and all the associated raised bed extras you can think of - time to raise your standards and your beds!

How Would the President Fund Homeless Assistance in 2014?
April 11, 2013
The President's budget proposal, released Wednesday, provides a detailed look at this Administration's spending priorities for the next year and beyond. Right now you can find all kinds of commentary on the proposed budget, in terms of both policy and politics, about the big picture and larger items like tax and spending policies aimed at reducing the long-term federal deficit, as well as concessions by the President to Republicans in the form of proposals to reduce spending on middle-class benefit programs.
Today, however, I want to go over a few specific items, much smaller in scale, that would have an impact on homelessness.
One important piece of background information that's important to keep in mind: This budget proposal is based on certain assumptions about how much money overall will be available for HUD programs. While those assumptions are certainly reasonable, not all members of Congress agree on them. The President's budget is always "just a proposal." This year there is more uncertainty than usual, but there is a greater need for Congress to enact it.
HUD's homeless assistance programs
As has been the case in both the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration, the president's budget proposes an increase in these programs. The increase this time would be $452 million to $2.381 billion. HUD's homelessness programs are, in nearly every community, an important tool for reducing homelessness. HUD's push to make these programs more effective and efficient has consistently convinced budget people in the White House to increase proposed spending for these programs. The proposed increase, beyond what's necessary to continue funding existing grants, is targeted toward rapid re-housing and permanent supportive housing.
The budget proposes funding at HUD for rent subsidies and at VA for case management for another 10,000 new HUD-VASH vouchers. The goal of ending veterans homelessness by the end of 2015 appears well within reach. The request to expand HUD-VASH builds on a great record of success so far.
Other Section 8 and Public Housing
A priority for HUD is to continue housing people who are already receiving housing assistance from these large programs. Many communities have looked to turnover in these programs as a source of housing for homeless people, a tool that will be unavailable in most places due to the "sequestration" spending cuts in the fiscal year 2013 spending legislation recently passed by Congress. The proposed funding levels would undo the devastating effects of sequestration on the low-income, vulnerable people who have relied on these programs.
VA homeless programs
The budget includes increases to VA homeless programs, in addition to HUD-VASH, to keep the country on track with the goal of ending veteran homelessness by the end of 2015.
HHS and other homeless programs
The budget proposes funding several smaller homelessness programs at HHS, DoE, and DoL, for the most part, at their FY 2012 levels, undoing the effects of the sequestration cuts in FY 2013.
National Housing Trust Fund
The Budget proposes spending $1 billion for housing through the National Housing Trust Fund. This spending is outside of the appropriation process and would require separate legislation.
As I've already noted, the President's budget is a proposal, not the law. Final decisions about spending are made by Congress, where people have their own ideas about priorities. It will be up to advocates to persuade Congress that, even if overall funding is scarcer than the President assumes, the increases to HUD homeless assistance and HUD-VASH are priorities that must be maintained.
Most people reading this blog are well aware of two things: The number of people experiencing homelessness, 633,782 on any given night in the United States, is unacceptable; and the community-based efforts to end homelessness will make extremely good use of HUD funds to improve that situation and make all our communities better in the process.
The release of the President's budget, for us at the Alliance, marks the start of the appropriations advocacy season. The people making the decisions in Congress are often not as aware as they should be of the realities of homelessness and the solutions that are available. Readers who want to help improve their understanding should be in touch with our grassroots mobilizing team, Kate Seif and Julie Klein.

Washington Irving: Three Western Narratives: A Tour on the Prairie / Astoria / The Adventures of Captain Bonneville (Library of America) by Washington Irving
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I like the Library of America books, they are a good quality--feels-good-to-read--kind of book. These three works by Washington Irving all fit well together. I have two of them, but bought this for "adventures of Captain Boneville," which it contains along with "astoria" and "tour on the prairies." Boneville is kinda hard to find, gotta love Tour on the prairies, and Astoria is one of the earliest true american historical works. Won't go into the details of these books, but again the format is a good one here.

In a film being shot yesterday on the forested hillsides of northern Zagreb, the Hollywood heartthrob succeeds where Nato, the CIA and the SAS have failed. The good guy gets the bad guy.
Pro-Tibet activist, "American Gigolo" and co-star of Pretty Woman, the greying 57-year-old plays a veteran television reporter who returns to postwar Sarajevo to launch a madcap three-man hunt for a fictionalised Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb wartime leader who has been on the run for 11 years and is wanted for genocide against Bosnia's Muslims.
"Unlike in real life, they get their man in the end," said an assistant director of the new film, Spring Break in Bosnia, before biting his lip and refusing to reveal more of the plot.
The independent $20m (£11m) production, directed by New Yorker Richard Shepard and to be released next year, co-stars Diane Kruger (Helen of Troy) as a Bosnian Serb junkie who sells information on Karadzic to a trio of American TV journalists staging a reunion in Bosnia in 2000, five years after the conflict ended.
"Only the most ridiculous parts of the story are true," said Adam Merims, the executive producer. "It's a thriller with comedic elements, a lot of gallows humour. It's not about war, it's about the people who cover the war."
In researching the background for the part, Gere sought to meet Karadzic, Europe's most wanted man with a $5m bounty on his head.
The actor talked to several journalists who covered the Bosnian war and put out feelers to contact the nationalist leader who sought to destroy Bosnia and remains a hero to many Serbs.
"He asked where Karadzic was and if he could meet him," said Merims.
The harebrained manhunt - the journalists are seeking an alleged mass murderer nicknamed The Fox - goes awry when the predators become the quarry. The entourage of the Karadzic character suspect the US journalists are in reality an undercover CIA hit squad and hunt them down instead, an episode based on the experience of the American war correspondent Scott Anderson.
Mr Anderson - who is also a thriller writer and New York bar owner - reported from Sarajevo during the war in the early 1990s. In 2000 he returned for a reunion with four colleagues, including Sebastian Junger, co-owner of the New York bar and author of the bestselling novel The Perfect Storm which was made into a hit film starring George Clooney.
In the real-life adventure, the five print journalists tracked Karadzic and got so close they were warned off their quest by US officials in Bosnia. Mr Anderson's lengthy account of the episode in Esquire magazine became the basis for the Shepard film.
"It's loosely based on the Anderson true story," Merims said.
Criticisms have been aired, particularly in Sarajevo, that genocide and Karadzic may not be appropriate topics for a lighthearted Hollywood romp, especially when the alleged war criminal is yet to face justice.
"We could have made the film in Afghanistan and it could've been about Osama bin Laden," responded Merims, arguing that the film was less about Bosnia, the war and the war crimes than about the adventures and personal tribulations of the trio of American journalists.
The Gere character, who is said to have behaved disreputably in Sarajevo during the war, "regains his dignity" during the "Karadzic" manhunt. The other two journalists, played by Terrence Howard and Jesse Eisenberg, experience parallel personal conflicts during their adventure.
In retelling, loosely, the true story, the movie points to the ineptitude of the heavy international presence in Bosnia in its failure to apprehend Karadzic 11 years after he was indicted by the war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
"It is mildly political," said Merims, "in that it is about the international community's reluctance or slowness in bringing war criminals to justice."

|Thread Tools
Thanks to you & Dan for the advice. I'm a master at the "ah, sh*#" approach to mechanical work & developing a similar expertise for electrical work.
Lots of info in this thread. Some good some bad.
I will start by saying this:
This topic has been discussed at length for more than 5 years on various car audio boards, and many of the same conclusions have been drawn, but as a results of the topic having such a lengthy life, much of the misinformation has been sorted out.
The people on the car audio forums that were using the Peel and seal product form home depot or Lowes found that stuff melts, and doesn't last more than 2 years in most cases. Sometimes it does though. It really depends on the temperature.
The asphalt mats look very similar to real vibration damping, but they are nothing even close.
Many people use them to save money, which is understood, but there are some significant drawbacks to using a roofing product in a car.
1. Asphalt is toxic a gives off gasses when it heats up.
2. Asphalt melts at 180 degrees 100% of the time. There is no getting around this fact. If it lasts longer than one season, consider yourself lucky.
3. Asphalt is not elastomeric, so it will not convert vibrations in to heat ( a necessary part of energy conversion for constraint layer viscoelastic dampers (CLVED) to work)
4.The foil is too thin. Aluminum foil on a CLVED has to be at least 3 mils to constraint the elastomeric layer enought to reduce vibrations.
5. They do not weigh enough. The asphalt mats only weight about .3 lbs per sq foot. This would not be too bad if they were true CLVED, but they are not. so, the only way the asphalt mat are able to help with vibration reduction is by adding weight to the panel. This is not very efficient or effective when the product weighs so little.
The problem is that they mats look very similar to real CLVD mats and so there are a number of companies that sell them to customers that do not know the difference. Many of the companies that have been suggested in this very thread are guilty of this betrayal.
After all, the product has black adhesive with silver foil. Why would anyone think any differently?!
I am not going to point out any names of my shady competitors in this thread, but I will tell you guys an industry secret. This industry secret is 100% accurate 100% of the time.
There is not a sound deadening manufacturer in the entire indutry that puts a constraint layer damper on a roll right off the extruder. Not one.
If it comes on a roll, it was originally designed by the manufacture to go on a roof. Companies that sell foil backed vibration dampers on rolls (even butyl ones) by them from roofing mastic manufacturers and then sell them to the public as vibration dampers.
Without exception!
Companies that make CLVED mats which are designed to go in automobiles have much higher standards to live up to than those that produce roofing products. The product they (we) produce come in sheet form only.
1. The foil needs to be flat and non-creased in order to work at 100%
2. the foil is too thick to roll up - Look at the Dynamat extreme door kit. This is a kit that is rolled up AFTER it comes off the line. IF you get your hands on one you will see how difficult it is for them to roll up and put in the box.
3. Dampers in sheet form are easier to get applied by OEM companies.
4. CLVED are designed at the specific viscosity that is required to reduce the most amount of automotive vibrations, while rolled, roofing products are set to the exact viscosity to work on a roof. On a roof, there is very little need to a specific viscosity, which is why there is so much variance between batches or asphalt materials. Some batches of asphalt work decent, while other fail right off the line (when used in cars). The QC for asphalt mats is nothing even close to the QC for CLVED.
There are lots of reasons why using a roofing product in a car is a bad idea, and lots of reasons why true vibration dampers will outperform them every time.
If anyone has any sound deadening questions, I am always happy to help, whether you use Second Skin or not.
a "friendly" suggestion...
"let sleeping dogs lie!!!!"
your product was a top rated in the "shoot out" and speaks for itself!!!!
if you want to post competitor negatives then back it up with independent scientific testing results...
(or you can end up in court)
I would like to read the MSDS sheet on your product and any ASTM testing results if you can post a link..
What might you hope to see with our MSDS?
What do in case you accidentally ingest our product?
ASTM rating? Sure.. we have them.
We don't publish them though. In comparison to other companies that inflate and exaggerate their ASTM results, ours look pathetic. We are left to either lie and inflate our numbers or look incompetent in the shadow of lies that other companies chose to publish in lieu of accurate numbers.
We choose not to publish our numbers because of these exact exaggerations.
I am not too concerned with "ending up in court" as I have not mentioned any competitors by name and have not said anything that is not absolutely true. It is the shady companies that are selling toxic asphalt as vibration dampers that should be worried about ending up in court..
Last edited by Second Skin Rep; 01-25-2009 at 12:40 PM.
the law says simply and clearly:
"The public has a right to MSDS data upon request."
I am requesting a copy of the Dampifier and Damplifier Pro MSDS sheets.
Which law is that?
1. according to OSHA we not required to give MSDS sheet to consumers at all, but can do so at our own free will. MSDS sheets are for people that work with the products on a daily basis.
2. The products youare requesting an MSDS sheet for are Non Harzardous articals which, according to OSHA do not require an MSDS sheet. The only reason we have an MSDS sheet is for our suppliers that require them from their vendors dispite OSHA regulations
Here is some reading for you:
The purpose of an MSDS sheet to to inform people that are working with hazardous chemicals on a regular basis to the dangers & precautions of that chemical as well as the action required if exposed in a dangerous way.
Sending you an MSDS sheet seems to be nothing more than egaging in a pissing match which I am not interested in joining.
If you want an MSDS sheet, you will need to send a formal request through a legit channel. Today is Sunday, and I am at home, not in a possition to provide you with one, and really not all that interested either.
Your request can be made to:

text: 2-25-12 Fontana Blows up! Canceled a trip this AM and decided to cruise around and just look, calling for 30 mph, and that makes for tough fishing. Well they missed it, I think it went a sustained 40 for several intervals. Stayed true to my plan til about three and couldn't stand it any more. Didn't have a fish and hadn't really tried, just trolled a couple of lines while checking out the LT. Never really found many fish, just scattered, some at 30 and a few at 50, but no takers. When the wind died to 20+ went to the standard jig and mini fluke and if you could stand up you could catch them on any rock or boulder wall up the LT, Nantahala, and Greasy Br. Found mixed schools of smallies, spots and even LM and they were the biggest average size I've had this winter. There was even a 20 inch rainbow that slammed my crankbait and threw the hook on a jump.First really good crankbait and jerkbait bite too, just love it! Rapala slashbiat and the little Flicker shad caught the bigger fish, while the jig produced the most spots. Smallies were right on the bank, chasing threadfins, so the topwater bite should start real soon. Had a big school of gizzards come under the boat, that is what I've been marking at 20' up the L Tenn. Ended with 20 or so in about 3hrs. of real fishing, come on spring. Later Capt. James

Take a look at what past grads from Witt have done with their majors – internships, grad school programs, and first jobs after graduation. It's not always as cut and dried as you think; a Liberal Arts degree has a lot of flexibility!
What Past Witt Mathematics Students Have Done
Develop critical and logical thinking skills
Mathematics is…
- the study of posing and solving problems, some of which may have an obvious connection with the world of numbers, while others seem to have little to do with numbers;
- determining what's relevant and how to use this information logically and analytically;
- finding tools to tackle significant and interesting problems; and
- the challenge of discovery.
The formal methods used in mathematics today were first introduced by the ancient Greeks over 2,000 years ago, and so in one sense, mathematics is the oldest of the liberal arts and sciences. Even then, people realized the centrality of mathematics to liberal education. The phrase "Let no one ignorant of mathematics enter here" is said to have graced the doorway of Plato's Academy in ancient Athens.
At Wittenberg, the study of mathematics will train your mind in critical and logical thinking, challenge your intuition and stretch your imagination. The mastery of mathematics is central to the sciences, both natural and social, and provides excellent preparation for any career field, technical or non-technical.
Degrees offered
B.A.: Mathematics
B.S.: Mathematics
Minor: Mathematics
Minor: Statistics
Students who pursue a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) concentrate in one of three tracks: mathematics, applied mathematics or statistics. Those who wish to double major with another discipline, such as computer science, physics or economics, often choose this degree program. The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) is a more in-depth program that requires several courses in other disciplines. The mathematics minors complement other quantitatively-oriented majors.

We encourage students to pursue research projects in their areas of interest; some present the results of their work at professional meetings such as the Ohio Section meeting of the Mathematics Association of America. Recently, several students have participated in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program funded by the National Science Foundation.
Examples of recent student research projects include:
- "Fractal Image Compression and Integrated Function Systems"
- "Non-Euclidean Geometric Models with Historical Analysis"
- "Entropy and Data Compression in Images"
Some students pursue employment upon graduation and have held positions with companies and organizations such as:
- Federal Reserve Bank (New York City), economic research
- Procter & Gamble, systems administrator
- Shell Exploration and Production – exploration geologist
- U.S. Army Special Operations Command, operation research analyst
- U.S. Office of Personnel Management, statistician
- Nationwide Insurance, computer programming intern
Some of our majors pursue graduate study and have recently attended:
- North Carolina State University
- The Ohio State University
- Carnegie Mellon
- Bowling Green State University
- University of Massachusetts – Amherst
- George Washington University
All classrooms in the mathematics and computer science department have a demonstration computer for use during lectures. Two classrooms are equipped with microcomputers configured for student use during classes and labs. All computers are connected to the university network.
Current students and visiting speakers participate in the department's annual colloquia series. Recent talks include:
- "Artificial Intelligence: What and Why," Steven Bogaerts
- "Episodic Memory for a Cognitive Architecture," Andrew Nuxoll
- "A Computational Study: The Formation of a Useful Thiazole Monomer," Tim Verrilli '08
- "Stereo Visualization and its Application for Fun and Viewing Scientific Data," Dr. Mark Turner, AVETeC/University of Cincinnati
Get involved
To supplement traditional course work, our department offers several activities for students throughout the year. The Wittenberg student chapter of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) serves as our math club. The department annually participates in a five-college math contest with other schools in the area.

Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is a very difficult book to talk about. It's a challenging book to read, too, but talking about it seems harder than reading it, to me. That's usually a sign that there's something worth thinking over, though I am struggling to find a way into discussing it.
Certainly, a mere "reader reaction" of the type that one sees all over the internet seems insufficient, for the same reason it strikes one as ridiculous for someone to walk out of a hall where a piece by Mahler or Webern or Stravinsky has just been performed, and say, "Well, that bit at the beginning was really catchy!"
And yet that is where the notes I took, while reading the book, begin, because the bit at the beginning–a bit about sixty pages long, I think it was–is very catchy. It grabbed me right away. Wikipedia passes over the bit I'm quoting below, but gives context that is relevant:
The story opens on the planet Rhyonon. Korga, a tall, misfit youth, undergoes the "RAT" (Radical Anxiety Termination) procedure, a form of psychosurgery which makes him a passive slave, after which he is known as Rat Korga.
Obviously, it's a futuristic slave narrative, and like in lots of real-world slave narratives, the protagonist lives in a misogynistic, bigot-crammed world. That part, Delany seems to lay on a bit thick: there are "men," and there are "bitches" (a word used for a female that a male really likes, or a female that a male really dislikes) and then there are "rats" (slaves). Or, and though he doesn't draw attention to it, there are "kids," in whose company it's not okay to say "bitches," apparently.
What's interesting is how Delany later subverts all of this: this world, presumably a lot like the urban America he lived in prior to writing the book–the world is sexist, homophobic, sexually puritanical, and highly expoitative–seems nonetheless technologically advanced compared to our world (especially circa 1984, the year Stars In My Pocket… was published). But Rat Korga's world is in fact a backwater planet, and the things that make it similar to our world are mostly repudiated by outsiders. Not only that, but even some of those similarities to our world are undermined: for example, the term "Rat" (for people who chosen to undergo "Radical Anxiety Termination") implies disdain and disrespect, but in one conversation it is revealed that the RAT treatment was, for a time, in vogue among intellectuals on that planet, especially poets who cracked under the pressure of artistic creation. RAT was, at one point in history, an honorific, its similarity to the word for a pestilential rodent no more than coincidence.
Delany fills the book with contradictions of this kind: the more you learn about the universe, the more you realize you don't understand the whole of it at all. He seems, indeed, to make a game of it, introducing an element that feels familiar, then radically defamiliarizing it for you. In a lot of ways, it felt like expatriate SF–SF about the expatriate experience, that is. I don't recall any mention anywhere of Delany having lived for an extended period outside America, mind, but then, the expatriate experience is often characterized by being an outsider, so maybe being a black gay Lacanian intellectual in 1970s America just overlaps with being an American in Paris, or Shanghai… or a Canadian in rural Korea?
At times, Delany does seem to lapse into a kind of Lacanian/Derridean sense of everything being a construct of language and culture, as per the academic vogue at the time in the humanities. The attraction of such a paradigm to an intellectual as removed from dominant (ie. expected, dictated) social norms as Delany then was is understandable, and the exploration is interesting… it just sort of rings false on occasion, such as the mention in passing of a world where acne is seen as a sign of status. But the deeper you go into the book–especially if you know just a little bit about Delany, like the way –the more you start to realize that this universe is, at least on one level, a sort of glimpse into Delany: what it's like to be Delany, to inhabit-the-universe-as-Delany; the attraction to acne, and to big-knuckled-hands with nails chewed down to the quick, are things that are purely Delany, and which he's mentioned in a number of works, as well as in nonfiction writings as personal predilection of his. (Here's one example, though I think I read about it elsewhere.)

Everything basic worked. TV was fine, shower spray was OK and drained well, bed didn't sag, etc. The place had a "seedy" feel about it. Poor maintenance -- sink faucet dripped unless turned off with extreme force; wires were hanging from the TV and overloaded electrical outlets looked like a possible fire hazard. We left as early as we could in the morning.
Travelers need to be warned that this motel is under construction. And I don't mean a little construction. There is plastic and boards everywhere. We didn't stay (and hope we receive our money back). The rooms were dingy, dark, musty and unappealing. The office smelled like old kitty litter. While I am glad they are investing in this place, it should be closed for construction.

frame swap for '57 olds wagon
i have a '57 olds fiesta wagon, with a great body and interior, and have discovered how badly rusted the frame and suspension is. i knew it looked bad but did not know how bad it was until today!! UNSAFE!!! anyway, i have a friend who has a '73 chevy caprice rolling chassis that i can have!!! for free. there is a difference of 3 inches between the center to center (front spindle to rear axle) between the 2 frames. the caprice is 3 inches longer, i can also have the whole floor of the body up to the firewall of the caprice if i want. does anyone have any experience with a swap like this? or am i off my rocker here? i want to build the wagon regardless, i am just hoping i can do it with a free frame and not have to buy one!!! anyone??? have any suggestions or ADVICE??? thanks, ken
You likely will never find anyone who has done that specific swap so all you can hope for is general opinions. All things being equal, I ALWAYS urge people to avoid frame swaps if at all possible. That is one project that almost guarantees an unfinished project taking up garage space for decades. ALWAYS update the stock frame if at all possible. However, if you are correct and the stock frame is trash, AND you have the patience for a LONG, difficult but very rewarding project, get that free frame and go for it! You must re-position the rear axle for an exact wheel base match, otherwise the thing will look odd. If your frame is shot, your floor boards are probably gone too. Best of both worlds, since your donor car comes w/ floor boards, plan on cutting out the old ones and welding the new one in place. Although it is a huge task to perform, this will get rid of the equally huge task of fitting the new frame to the old floor. I think the total replacement will be easier in the long run.
All that being said, take a ton of detailed measurements and sketches from each car and compare the similarities an differences and come up with a fairly detailed plan of how to merge the two. If the suspension, motor, passenger compartment, seating areas, floor attachment points, firewall, bumper mounting points, etc., etc., etc., all can be matched up with a little work, go for it!
If you are serious!!
Then hopefully you have a place to dothis where you can be for a while..lift the body off of the existing frame and do some serious measuring to see just what you will need..Expect to spend some serious time on homework and research..
Sometimes it is just better to bite the bullet and buidl a new tube frame..
While you may find a suitable frame it will take some time to sort out just what you will need and a lot of the time we wind up going with the tube style chassis..
Just my thoughts
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
thanks for the advice you guys, i appreciate it. i did a lot of measuring already, and my only concern is the 3 inch difference in the wheel base,the width, floor, firewall, front supension, all are extremely close, ?go figure? i was thinking along the lines of cutting the perimeters of the bodys from the floors and setting the wagon down, body-drop style, and filling in with "filler" metal. i have done several body drops so i am not too concerned, i think i could do this one too. i guess maybe i just needed an extra "vote of confidence"...thanks again...ken
You MUST do a Project Journal on this or we will send out a hit squad and track you down like a common pygmy!
Caprice frame
A careful examination of that Caprice frame will show that GM put a joint in it at the rear and front clip ends..I know I have one out here..If you carefully cut at the joint you can take out the 3" you need so the wheelbase will be correct..Of course you will need to jig carefull to get it square..but you know that one..
then carry on..the idea of the "body drop" seems good to me..
Lets see the progress pics as you go..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
The Olds Rear Diff
Don't send that diff of to the scrap yard, I think most of the Olds and Buicks in that vintage have a stout third member style diff that is LSD. You'd likely find a buyer for it, someone building a 60's style gasser or the like.
SCRAP YARD?!?! trust me i only get stuff from the scrap yard, i could never send anything to one, i would give it to someone who could use it before i would even consider that sin!! ha. ha. and many thanks for the hint/advice on that joint area!!! i saw that weld seam but never thought about it that way, and i think that pretty much solves my problem/delimma!!! also what by the way is a "project journal"?? just pictures i post up of the progress??? i gotta get the body off the caprice, and then i can wheel the "fiesta wagon" in the garage and have some working room. is there other ways of putting pictures on the computer if you don't have a digi. camera??? thanks again all...ken p/s: OMT where in wash. state are you?? i am in Spocompton (spokane)!!!
Good point on the Olds rear end. Yes, there are a bunch of gassers out there who would LOVE to get their hands on it! I would arm wrestle you for it except I run a '56 which is slightly different than a '57-'64 so I can't use it. Rod & Custom or Hot rod had a real tech article a few months ago on adapting a Ford 9" pumpkin to the Olds axle housing so you can keep the nostalgic look w/ up-to-date gears.
You can take Kodak 35mm shots, have them developed, scan them w/ a flat bed scanner, edit them in PhotoShop, save them as JPEGs, then upload them. Get a digital!!

damn!!! i can barely say all that let alone DO IT!!! i'm looking into the digi cam thing, i just don't spend a lot of time on a computer to warrant it, but maybe this is now the reason! i'll think hard about it, and i'll look at you journal to get an idea what to do!!! ken

You will absolutely LOVE a digital camera. It will revolutionize your picture taking, I promise.
I'll get a c.d. from my regular camera at the photo developers ocasionally when I can't use the digital, pretty easy to upload into a journal that way also. I've got a mess of pics but no patience to upload them into my journal or album. Last time I put pics in my journal it took me 20 minutes to do about 5 pics. I gave up, too many people to share computer time.

Hi everyone,
I shot my new PF9 yesterday and was impressed with it. I know it's not a range gun so to speak. It was bought to carry.
I've seen that Kel Tec now has a +1 grip extension and was wanting to know if anyone has tried it. I'm also looking for opinions on the trigger shoe. The trigger seemed to cut into my finger after 20 rounds or so.

I am confused. I was reading about Android tablets, and it mentioned (Ice Cream Sandwich) operation. What is that?
Thanks for the question Cheri. Most software updates are assigned codes (1.0, 2.0 etc.), and when substantial changes are made, those changes are often designated code names. When Android–an open source project led by Google–began updating their operating systems, they kicked around ideas for names to easily identify significant changes in their system. This would help avoid the confusion brought on by the classifications already in use (1.0-rc30 or 1.1-rc30, for example). It's rumored that early versions were going to be named in alphabetical order after fictional robots, with Astro Boy and Bender being the first choices. Dessert names were later selected to identify these updates, and "Petit Four" was used by some as a codename for version 1.1. However, the tasty code name associations officially began with version 1.5 in 2009 with Cupcake. Since then, new versions have been assigned similarly appetizing names of desserts (again in alphabetical order). Below is a list of codenames with the corresponding operating systems.
Cupcake 1.5
Donut 1.6
Eclair 2.0 – 2.1
Froyo 2.2
Gingerbread 2.3 – 2.4
Honeycomb 3.0 – 3.2
Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.1 – 4.0.4
Jelly Bean 4.1
As new codenames are introduced, a plastic model depicting the flavorsome treat, are added to the lawn at Google headquarters in Mountain View California.
Thanks again for the question Cheri.
