Okay everyone, This all starts way back when in 4th grade. I was having a conversation with some of my little buddies about starwars, and they were talking about favorite characters. Take a wild guess who mine was? *cough* *cough*
Anyway, I discovered that I could draw, and began doing pictures of some of my favorite characters, including good old boba, the first single freehand I ever did. It sucked, so I proceded to dedicate the next eight or so years to actually learning to draw well.
In the meantime, I began to roleplay, and especially starwars roleplay, where I invented a character: Frost K'Amon, enemy of the force
I also began working on films and other video media for my various schools, and we ended up shooting the venerable TK-409 in the parking lot one day. I was greatly impressed by his armor and costume, and it made an indefinably deep impression on me. I was going to make myself a mandalorian.

Report: Providence Environmental Fines go Unpaid
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) _ Records show the city of Providence has failed to collect more than 85 percent of the environmental fines it has imposed since the start of the 2011-12 fiscal year.
WPRI-TV obtained the data through a public records request.
The station found the Department of Public Works issued more than 1,850 fines for violations such as illegal dumping in the past two years, but collected just $86,000 of the $600,000 in fines.
David Ortiz, a spokesman for Providence Mayor Angel Taveras, says the city works with property owners and may reduced or dismiss fines depending on the circumstances. He says Providence pursues egregious violators in court.
Ortiz also says the city will often clean up problem properties and bill the owners, selling the property if that bill isn't paid.

PASO is composed of a group of activists from around the world who share the belief that we can more effectively promote justice, protect the environment and confront human rights violation in Colombia through international partnerships and support for local organizing efforts.
Laura Engshuber recently came to Colombia after working in the human rights education sector in Cambodia. Raised in Germany and the United States, she holds a Bachelor's Degree in political science from Georgetown University and a Master's Degree in international law from The University of Edinburgh and has worked with a number of international and national organizations, including the UN Environment Programme and Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, on matters such as human rights, advocacy and engagement, environmental rights, and corporate social responsibility. She is particularly interested in post-conflict reconstruction and capacity building.
Neil Martin is an activist and organizer from Cincinnati, Ohio. He has lived in Colombia for the past eight years working with unions and grassroots human rights, indigenous peoples' rights and environmental organizations. Neil has worked previously with Peace Brigades International's Colombia Project and the Bogota-based Jose Alvear Restrepo Lawyers Collective.
Jeff Ordower has been a labor and community organizer for more than 20 years. Ordower was the Midwest Director of ACORN, founder of Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, a co-founder of the Home Defenders League and was deeply involved in Ferguson, where his organization provided critical jail support to protestors. He is delighted to working with the SINTRACIHOBI and PASO on his too-short sabbatical, and as he says, PASO is a unique organization that provides the right mix of accompaniment, support and capacity building for Colombian unions.
Nate "Pacho" Miller came to Colombia after working at SEIU Local 1199 in New York. He was raised in San Francisco, California in a household very much shaped by historic struggles such as the free speech, civil rights and farm worker movements. In past positions he has worked as an organizer with the Latino immigrant population at a homeless drop-in center located in San Francisco's Mission District, and as coordinator in a number of candidate and initiative campaigns. He holds a degree in Community Studies from UC Santa Cruz and was recently recognized by members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors as being 'San Francisco's secret weapon' for his successful campaign work.
Victoria Pozos Bernal is a student from the University of California – Santa Cruz majoring in Community Studies and an organizer and advocate for Farmworker/Labor Rights. Growing up in Watsonville, CA, a small agricultural town, she saw firsthand the exploitation of farmworkers in the United States through her own eyes and through her mother's experience as a farmworker. Since then Vicky has been working with Rooted in Community, "Food, What?!", Center for Farmworker Families, Coalition of Immokalee Workers and other Food Justice and Farmworker/Labor Rights organizations to bring a consciousnesses of the everyday struggles that agricultural workers face in the Americas and how people can get involved in supporting the movement and empowering workers to organize among themselves to create a greater change.

None of your arguments hold water when you consider the billions of tax payer dollars spent on health care, food stamps, jails and housings spent on these ILLEGALS every year. Not to mention the $$$ we spend on boarder patrol and the crime that comes with this mess. Minimum wage and jobs being exported don't hold a candle to those cost and their consequences.

I would not call that a low paying wage but it is back breaking hard work that requires one to make the effort.
Wrong again, because you are basing this effect on your speculative conclusion above. A significant part of the American economy has been underground for years, and it grows during unprosperous times.The impact on legal US residents of all stripes would be quite large, and quite probably negative. Think: minimum wage starts taking a downturn and instead of being incremented up every once in a while to account for inflation, we instead have to increment down to account for deflation. Instead of getting a huge increase in wages paid to US residents where that money was being paid instead to illegal aliens, we might see a huge decrease in wages paid to all US residents, in all industries, all business sectors, all areas whether they were impacted in a meaningful way by the "illegal issue" prior to the deportation or not.Utter nonsense for restaurants. Possibly true for fast food joints who typically have many part-time workers who are at minimum wage anyway, and who dont collect any sort of benefits, but not restaurants.Thinking about it from a purely business perspective, and in terms of a single industry: Restaurants would lose arguably 30-50% of their staffs in one go.Again, gross speculation based on your erroneous initial assumption. Training? I dont know a restaurant (in the classic sense) that requires highly skilled workers except for the kitchen and bar. Hamburger and pizza joints training? Be serious.If required by law to legally hire replacement staffs under terms already defined by US law which cover what a minimum wage is, how many
hours constitutes a binding contract for that employer to provide health benefits, etc etc etc ad infinitum... my guess is, those restaurants previously willing/able to hire staffs illegally in an effort to make bottom line and/or some profit, won't be able to do so anymore. They close. Meaning, no, we didn't just gain 30-50% of "living wage" restaurant jobs back for legal residents. It means we just lost 50-70% of "living wage" restaurant jobs from previously employed legal residents. Previously employed, unskilled labor legal residents who can't fold themselves into a technology corridor type workforce just because they must. If they are to be employed, they must retrain. What would it cost taxpayers to retrain all those displaced restaurant workers?OK, so what costs are you leaving out? Maybe the income and Social Security taxes not being withheld? Maybe the cost of educating children who werent born here? Maybe the cost of welfare assistance and free medical care (at clinics and emergency rooms) for those bold enough to seek it? Maybe the cost of incarcerating those who pursue the drug or human smuggling trade?ok, so truth: maybe half their earnings are sent back to their homelands for families left behind. Corresponding truth: that means half stays. They go home, we lose all that multiplying economy effect. So, does every deportee equal: half their admittedly sub-par income (if they stay) or exactly none of their admittedly sub-par income (if they go). Seeing actual hard numbers that compares what they cost us in dollars to be here (as seen in the op) and what they actually bring us in dollars from being here (evaluated fairly, as only the part of that income which stays, not seen in the orig. post) would be interesting. Which half of their US income is more important to legal US residents: the half which doesn't currently multiply (the half sent home) or the half which does, currently, multiply?I am not advocating evaluating the worth of an illegal resident of the US in terms of actual dollars. I'm just saying, having done that it would be more persuasive an argument if the argument captured the entirety of the issue.
I would be very interested to see the studies that would inevitably (in my ignorance I hope I am not being naive) have to cross the desks of the economists and regulators and politicians tasked with the job of deciding the issue/proposal) which would evaluate the real, immediate and long-term, impacts on the US economy if such a move were to be given legitimacy and be implemented. Wouldn't it just suck if then all the jobs that we managed to keep in the US when so many went to other countries, suddenly went to those other countries?
Overall, you ignore the history of immigration trends in this country. Since before the Industrial Revolution and the Great Irish Famine we have been the target destination for emigres from many troubled nations over the world. They have come here and taken jobs at the low ends of the social and economic scales, but overall they have sought to immerse, assimilate and better themselves in the culture and climate of the New World and to seek citizenship when it was available. In the first two-thirds of the 20th century, American citizenship for immigrants was a privilige to be vigorously sought and earned, not an entitlement to be demanded.
Bottom line is that while some segments of the American economy have grown to depend on the low wages paid to those here illegally, if they disappeared en masse over the next six months, American businesses would adapt, improvise, and overcome weve done it before. Its what we do.

Not saying he makes a representative sample. But what I would say (and am saying) is that given the option of working backbreaking labor or starving, most choose: labor. Look at the history of the US in the dustbowl when roving migrant workers (legal US citizens) used to rove the countryside in hopes of being randomly chosen (packs of hundres) as one of the maybe 8 folk to work a single farm for a single shift... travelling many tens or hundreds of miles in between gigs. Granted, that wasn't just another century, it was nearly a century ago. But, when families are starving, they do whatever it takes to put food on the table. Our unemployment rate (calculated only with US legal residents, and which by definition does not include those folks who have been unemployed so long that they no longer qualify to even apply for unemployment benefits, whether they received them or not) is only getting worse. US residents in the Detroit area who have completely vacated their housing (purchased at home values exceeding one million) and whose abandoned homes are now up for sale in many cases for less than $50 k because almost no one would live there.... would have jumped at the chance to go do some backbreaking labor rather than have to leave their homes. I'd hazard a guess those whole towns that got forced out can't be described as having sat around on their asses getting fat off of unemployment and/or welfare. But I digress.
I will, however, agree with you wholeheartedly that that American spirit is to adapt, improvise, and overcome. That's our heritage. That's our history. That's our strength. Still, I wouldn't want to put hundreds of thousands or millions or even a single legal US resident to work, willingly, at wages which we as a society have deemed inhumane. The economy would need to be looked at in its entirety and not only based on those points which support a particular argument, before I'd want to create a nation of American serfs. We have been willing, as a society, to live with a nation of "not-American" serfs... for far too long. But, do we really, as a nation, need to agree on serfdom as a necessary evil?
That question is at the heart of my posting. I would argue that we do not have to adapt, improvise, and overcome (aka assimilate) "serfdom" in our vision of the ideal America (defined as: an America without immigrants) To me, the issue is not entirely unlike the question of slavery -- only here the definition of "sub-human" is not so much actual skin color as geographic place of birth. At the pre-deportation camera click moment. Post-deportation camera click, "sub-human" would be defined as anyone not so fortunate as to have good, living-wage work, a home, and of course verifiable 6 points of identification (if that's still the number-it was, as recently as 2005, the number to prove citizenship at a NJ DMV) at the time of the mass deportation. We as a nation dehumanize the visible source of the problem (here: illegals) to the point where we refuse to put our own thinking into their shoes, our own imaginations of how our family does live, will live, has lived put to the task of seeing what it would have been like if.... we were born Nicaraguan? Salvadoran? Croatian? This is what the police train you to do when thinking about shooting a human being. Human being? no, bad guy. Bad "guy"? no. "BG". BG? No, scum. Scum? Filth. it goes on. The thing is, the dehumanizing part is central to the achievement of the ability to do things to someone that you wouldn't like done to yourself. or your mother. or your child. or your dog. It's an essential part of building the warfare mentality, too. I'm not saying it's wrong or right. I'm just saying, the argument for an ideal America, in my mind, isn't one that is as simple as the original article suggests. An ideal America, to me, would entail a place which actually IS the living embodiment of dreams, actualized. Where (ok, in our last 50 years this has been a given, not a dream): we can have a chicken for dinner at least once a week, every week. Shall we define the American dream so narrowly as: a place you can't go without an RSVP? Or could we be a little bit more broadly, and define it as a place: where every citizen can get legal work, at a living wage, an education, and a chance at a greater prosperity than would have been possible for their grandparents, without building that prosperity on the backs of slaves excuse me serfs of any nationality/citizenship, including our own? The including our own is the bit that I'm arguing for -- I don't think mass deportation as described in the original post will arrive at a prosperous or particularly pleasant American economy. Sure, give it 10, 20, 50 years, we could overcome and adapt. Heck, look at what the Japanese have achieved in that timeframe. The Germans have certainly been able to achieve dramatic turnaround and prosperity after utter defeat not once but twice in the last century. Is it possible? Yes. Would I recommend it? Would you? Granted, the kind of economic devastation in those two countries was as a result of actual violent warfare followed by actual defeat in warfare followed by embargoes and taxation and any number of disciplinary economic and financial global "timeouts" that we would not have assigned us from some external party. Those examples do not adequately reflect the imagined legal, organized, orderly, structured, humane, bloodless removal over the course of 6 months of a significant portion of the populous. The effect, I think, would be similar. And likely, not without bloodshed, no matter how clean and pretty we imagine it happening from our philosophical and ideological couches. I could be wrong. Would love to hear what an actual economist (scientist, not politician), thinks.
The problem of immigration is real. Dehumanizing the people who live in America illegally is not going to solve these problems. (It will, however, serve to convince us of legal American superiority. And make it easier to think about ideas like mass deportation without actually spending time thinking about how that act would impact real human lives on both sides of the "legal US resident" divide.)
People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.
- Abraham Lincoln
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
- Winston Churchill
I think my Philosophy 101 prof would have called that the logical fallacy of the straw man.
Nearly every one of us ultimately was, at one time or another, an "immigrant" to North America - and that includes "Native Americans." You are drawing unsubstantiated conclusions based on fancy, not fact.
One side of my family came over here in the 1600s, and the other side came into the country via Ellis Island before WWI. The one side helped found the new nation and develop its laws, the other side saw what it liked and decided to work to become part of it. All began as white Europeans, and all suffered "racial profiling" and discrimination. The early ones were Quakers who were ridiculed by the Puritans, the later ones were Slavs whose foreign tongue grated on the nerves of Americans who preceded them. Every generation of immigrants has had its struggles.
You are mis-characterizing the argument as one of skin color... it isn't. It's about working within the existing structure and constraints of the laws of our nation. If you don't like them, then work to change them. Simply put - obey the laws, and if you want to be here legally and enjoy the fruits of American life, do it the right way.

Unemployment would probably drop. There would be more jobs available

Curl Pattern:
thick end of medium : definitely not as much volume as I'd like, but my hair used to be super dense (and much curlier) when I was younger, so I'm still getting used to limper hair, it may not be as thin as I think...
low-ish I think
flat top (could be because my hair REALLY needs a cut, though). Easily weighed down. Frizzes easily on the canopy, but nicer/softer underneath. Fairly easy to straighten, but goes a bit wavy again on the ends if exposed to any humidity. Fairly dry on the ends, but scalp has a tendency to get oily if left unwashed for more than a couple of days
CG/ModCG/not CG:
mod- CG (need to low-poo occasionally)
Hair ingredient likes:
haven't worked these out yet, my hair CJ curl rehab regardless of how I use it. I also henna every 4-6 mths because it makes my hair soooo much nicer
Hair ingredient dislikes:
haven't worked this out yet, but definitely a big no to ANY 'cones, any product with even a bit of cones left my hair feeling disgusting within a couple of days without a lo-poo. Anything by Aubreys makes my scalp break out in painful bumps within hours (still trying to work out why). Used poo bars for a while, started out fantastic, but ultimately left my hair feeling drier, and gave me really bad split end
Hard/Soft Water:
HG/Go-to Products:
Curl rehab, definitely. KCCC is a go-to for spirals, and hard hold gel (BRHG, CHI) to keep them in place
Average climate/dew points:
very dry (low dewpoint) in winter, very humid (high dew point) in summer
Fall/Winter combos:
so far, HCC/CJDF to wash (occasionally gttt to clarify better or my scalp gets gross) Tigi O&H rinse out, KCKT leave-in, KCCC or possibly CIAB, and BRHG on top to hold
Spring/Summer combos:
CJDF or HCC to wash, no rinse out, CJCR or CCCC-lite as LI, then KCCC or CIAB and hard hold gel
Favorite styling techniques and why:
diffusing gives me the best curls (again, I think my hair is too long, weighs it down too much to form curls), but needs very low setting and pixie method to minimise (can't eliminate) frizz on the canopy, but even then the curls lengthen throughout the day, get flatter. Trying not to diffuse too often, so I minimise damage though. Ice queen seems to work pretty well. Trying to find a good method for airdrying. Got fairly close with using clips... but needs some more work.
Techniques that didn't work and why:
Just leaving my hair to air dry without touching it left my hair flat stringy and lifeless
Hair Twins:
...hopefully I'll find one to give me some product suggestions

Kathy White - Teacher Who Had Sex With Student Walks - Gets Probation
Lumberton, Texas (The Weekly Vice) -- Kathy White, a 42 year old former resource teacher Lumberton High School has been sentenced after she was charged with two counts of having an improper relationship between educator and student.
According to Police, White had sex with a student in September of 2004 at her home and at the school. Police became aware of the incidence when the teen informed school administrators.
According to reports, police also received copies of emails White had written which professed that she'd do him [the victim] every week, because it was good.
So did the good teacher go to jail? Absolutely not. In a plea arrangement, White has been sentenced to ten years deferred probation and a $2,000 fine on one count of having an improper relationship between educator and student. The second charge was dismissed.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
Texas, the state where some 50% of these teacher sex scandals originate out of must at some point come to terms with it's sex abuse problems. Giving one teacher after another a sentence of 'probation' falls well short of a good start. The Hardin County District Judge who decided this case should be booted for blowing tax payer dollars while perpetuating the problem.
Likening a sex crime to that of a common DUI or in some cases LESS - sends the worst kind of message to the community. It's no wonder Texas is a bastion for child sex offenders.
Besides, if the Judges would assess a little stiffer fine, perhaps the county Jail could buy itself a new mug shot camera that doesn't produce a 1970's quality photograph.

Mein Auto: '04 BMW X3, '04 330xi
View My Garage
I am at 100K with my X3 and currently also own a 330xi. Granted both are 2004 so there are some differences in what you are looking at, but for the majority not much. I have spent more time and money on the X3 than any of the 20 vehicles I have owned in the past, including 3 BMWs. at 100K I had to do AC compressor, coolant system, dealt with electrical issues, new switches, broken suspension spring, I've had to do all fluids which unless you are a rocket scientist you'll never know what type of transmission fluid to put in the auto transmission. Took me six months to finally make an educated guess. I've had to replace manifold gasket, valve cover gasket, leaking intake boot, and oil filter housing gasket. This is all I can think of off the top of my head. Maintenance has seemed to be the exact same as the 3 series I've owned in the past, in fact a bit more, but the X has a little more fancy stupid stuff which has added to the list.
I get 24mpg highway and 17 city. The ride is harsh and stiff. Handles like a 3 series car, but a little bit taller. Interior looks and feels like a 3 series car, again just a bit taller. The rear leg room is lacking. Tried to put 2 adults back there this past weekend and they very kindly said they were fine, but it was tight. I can fit the dog in the back which is great and so far has been the only reason I love driving it. The automatic transmission even with the manual shift option has a mind of its own and the delay between what my mind and body do and what the car does is so long its a joke.
I love driving my manual 330 far more than the X. The ride is the same, but its far more fun. Unless I've got the dog. From a fellow BMW enthusiast and long time owner, I would recommend looking at a japanese SUV. Unless you just want a bigger 330.

Hi folks
I have been looking around ThemeForest for a nice HTML/CSS template to convert into a theme for Orchard (.NET stack CMS) It's not a very widespread CMS, but I really like it and wanted to contribute to the range of themes available for it. I have next to no design skills though because I am a developer (and only a developer), so I will need a finished HTML/CSS template to work with.
I contacted a few authors of HTML/CSS themes that I like directly, but none were interested. I offered both buying a extended license from them (around 800$) or sharing earnings (basically paying them for every Orchard theme I sell).
It's an enigma to me why nobody would be interested in such a deal, since I thought that template authors were interested in selling their templates. Is there something that I am not aware of? Designer pride? Fear of a wave of support requests? Fear that they won't sell their WordPress versions anymore?
I'm puzzled!
Any advice on this?
PS: I am looking for a responsive template, sleek and simple design. Blog posts, some page layouts, 404, typography, the usual stuff. If one of you happen to have one of those and are willing to let me work it into an Orchard theme I would be happy to have a look
Hi wildmind-ch,
I am very interested in your work. Indeed I need some Orchard themes to buy. But found nothing. Maybe forced myself to create some Orchard theme from existing ThemeForest themes.
If you or any other did this someday, I will be happy to hear about it. My email is afshar [dot] mohebbi [atsign] gmail [dot] com
(Why this theme related thread appears in audiojungle.net?)
Hi Afshar!
Cool, I'm happy to hear you are interested in premium Orchard themes. There have been some things going on since I first posted above. I moved away from the idea of taking existing themes on Themeforest and convert them, since Themeforest a) doesn't consider Orchard themes and b) would price them at 20$ no matter how good they are, which is obviously not a fair price for a full blown Orchard theme.
I contracted a professional designer and now I'm working on launching the service independently over at shovelandrake.com. The site will launch in the weeks to come. Currently, you can sign up there with your email to be notified on the launch day.
In the meantime, there are also two other companies that offer Orchard themes, which you can check out: Orchard Prime and Bind.
Cheers Alexander
hi Alex,
contact me through my profile or by skype (fatondesign) maybe we can make a deal for this.
Hi wildmind-ch,
Congrats for your new service, shovelandrake.com. Wish successfulness for it. I never noticed that ThemeForest highest price is $20. It can slow the progress. Thanks for sharing information.
Best Regards, Afshar Mohebbi

Hi all! So now that I'm just about finished with my new lid, I need to ensure that it gets to and from troops in one piece! So I pose this question to all of you: How do you transport your bucket?
I know some folks use motorcycle helmet bags for their buckets, but I think this is limited to TK size lids. My concern is the RF. I really don't want to be removing the stalk everytime and with the wiring for the LEDs, it would just be a pain. I am thinking that a large Sterlite or Rubbermaid storage container would work best.
Thanks! :fettesb

New special color effects for personalcare bottles use multilayer coextrusion to provide a seamless transition from one color to another along the length of the container. The Fade effect comes from Clariant Masterbatches Div., Holden, Mass. Says Len Kulka, director of creative development for packaging, "Imagine a bottle that is bright red at the bottom, fading to pure white by the time you reach the top. Picture metallic purple changing to black or orange merging into blue. Just about any combination is possible, and the greater the contrast between the two colors, the better." Color transition requires a special coextrusion head and at least two layers—the base color and the fade color. In development is using a third interior layer of uncolored virgin resin or virgin plus scrap. Also being tested is a fourth layer of post-consumer material between the virgin interior and the base-color layer. (508) 829-6321 • www.clariant. masterbatches. com

|Topic Review (Newest First)
We have no builtin a/c, and have been comfortable up into August in Miami. We cruised for a couple of years with no a/c, and one hurricane season in Daytona with no a/c.
We came to Green Cove Springs, and the first day someone asked if I had a/c. I answered no, and he suggested I get it. The sun starting going down, and the temp was pleasant, but the mosquitoes forced us to close the boat up. We bvorrowed a car the next day. Went to Home Depot bought a 5k unit, and a sheet of insulation board with the aluminum foiln on it. A roll of the foil tape, and for $100 we had a cool enviroment with no creatures while at the dock.
The following year we added another unit, and now we close off the forward, and rear berth in the strbrd hull, and the rest of the boat is very cool.
What I did on my mono was add a stern shower to give myself a small spray once in awhile to keep cool at times in Mexico........i2f
|You do get used to the heat!!!! At anchor we usually are comfortable as we anchor where there is wind..out near the sea. In the marina it is hot until later at night. Good News is that this is usually only for a couple of months in the middle of summer. Most of the year it is pleasant.
In time, say 3 mos. your blood will thin and you should hopefully get acclimated.
I absolutely understand the part about "Sometimes you just have to leave the simplicity of land life behind" and have no problem with that. I have sailed extensively in the Pacific Northwest. Tell me you're coming this way for extended stays and I can tell you much about the nuances of keeping from freezing in the winter (and summer) etc. I'm looking for those same bits of knowledge for when I get to the tropics. It's the understanding of the unknown I'm after. I can take a hot day and night and all but it's how you do it every day. I don't want to be sitting below deck sweating so much you can actually hear it. Lying awake at night because the air is too heavy to inhale.
I'm OK with even having to sleep up on deck a few nights in the bad parts of the summer.
It's one of those things easiest expressed as "So how do, you do that?"
I guess what I need is a recollection of all those articles and whatnot I've read over the years on keeping cool.
So let's see, we got:
- Low power fans strategically placed throughout the cabin to keep air moving.
- Air catch's for the hatches.
- Tarps to create shade.
- A cool off as needed (always great down there).
- AC unit if possible or swamp cooler for emergencies or for when you're at dock and there just is no air.
Bedding ideas? What not to use?
For the most part, one rarely doesn't have a reasonably good breeze in most anchorages in the Tampa Bay area or anywhere on the southwest coast of Florida except, perhaps, for the really urban locations that most wouldn't choose to anchor in anyway. With the breeze; and, some good awnings to keep the sun off the deck, most boats are reasonably comfortable. Once the sun sets, except on rare occassions, things cool off pretty well and one is usually quite comfortable with only a few fans to keep the air moving below. We have a generator and can run the AC while anchored out, if necessary, but rarely have. Note, however, that in most marinas, where there is little wind, one does need AC unless one is made of sturner stuff than we!
|Sometimes you just have to leave the simplicity of land life behind. The days will be few where there is not enough wind for the scoop to keep you cool. Shade for the boat is essential too. You can get cheap perforated shade that breathes from home depot. It is what they use in the garden department. You can use zip ties to tie it down too.........i2f
|Besides the low draw fans, a good awning will help keep the temperatures in the cabin down.
low draw fans
I don't live in Fla. but when we have 'hot' days I use the low draw fans from WM. Did the same thing in Belize on charter trips. Air is good ...frequent jumps in the water help too!
Dealing with the heat
Hello all,
I am trying to figure out how cruisers and live aboards deal with the heat in Florida. Specifically the Tampa area.
I love the area and look forward to spending the summer there on my boat or even moving there.
How do you keep the boat down to a reasonable temperature?
I know many boats have air conditioners but thats not realistic if youre sitting in a bay somewhere for four or five days.
I guess you could run a genset and a cooler but again, not realistic for multiple days. What if youre out for ten days or fifteen?
I have a wind catch for the forward hatch but if there is low wind then there is no comfort.
So, how do you keep cool in the Florida tropics on your 40 footer?
Im not asking how do you bear it. How do you do it?

Is R-5 a New Benchmark?
September 15, 2010
THE TALK... | Markets & Trends
R-5 is apparently now established as an industry benchmark. If I had any doubts, they disappeared walking the floor of GlassBuild America yesterday. "R-5" appeared in exhibitor displays and a handful of manufacturers I spoke with indicated they were at the show at least in part to review their R-5 options. (An interesting story in itself is the sudden emergence of double-pane R-5 alternatives. Conventional wisdom, not too long ago, was that triple-glazing would be required.)
Back in April, when DOE launched its R-5 program, only a quarter of the respondents to our weekly poll said it would have significant impact on the industry. My sense, however, is that it's already happening. I don't know if companies are actually selling windows through the DOE volume purchase program, but the existence of the program appears to be transforming the market.
So, we'll use this week's poll to see if that's true. More importantly, I'd like to hear from you. I'd be interested to hear, in particular, from participants in the volume purchase program. Are you seeing direct sales as a result? What about other R-5 product sales? Are they there? Are they growing? And, if you're not selling R-5, that's okay. I'd like to hear from you too. Are you biding your time? Post your comment below, or if you prefer, email me and share your thoughts.
Survey Results as of 09/21/2010:
What's your company's status on R-5 products?
We don't foresee offering R-5 products.
We are waiting until R-5 becomes established as part of Energy Star or some other standard.
We already offer R-5 products.
We are looking to introduce R-5 products soon.
John also writes:
Our respondents are split fairly evenly on R-5 products. Half don't foresee offering R-5 products, while the other half either offer them or expect to in the not too distant future. That says to me that R-5 is a new benchmark.
Will it apply to everyone? No. One simple reason many of our respondents said they don't foresee offering R-5 products is geography. Manufacturers, distributors and dealers in Florida, Texas, Southern California, and other areas with mild climates are not likely to face see such requirements.
Virtually everyone I spoke with at GlassBuild, however, expects R-5 to be part of the next round of Energy Star criteria for at least the Northern climate zone. Some also foresee the requirements becoming more stringent than the current .22 U-value that earns operating windows the "R-5" label under the current DOE program.
As with the computer industry we are almost ready to position our R8 window available in Germany for many years. While we are further improving the spacer system we may realize better than the Uw of 0.13 and 0.12 we currently achieve after testing. The government is behind an R5 measure and many of the consumers are purchasing anticoagulated R3 technology. By 2012 R10 should be achievable with no more than argon used in our R5, R6 and R8 windows.
R5 should be the minimum for EnergyStar, or any below should be classified as EnergyHogs and the purchasers should pay an Energy Tax as with purchasing a car with inferior fuel usage- like that purple GTO I almost bought just a few years ago.
With the market being as tight as it currently is and homeowners not making buying decisions as they once did, coupled with those who do buy are seemingly going for the lowest price offered with little consideration given to quality and performance, I couldn't imagine the R-5 program having great success.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but my point is that most homeowners are buying the cheapest windows that barely meet the tax credit program, usually offered by the bait n switch companies out there, so I forsee great hesitance in them buying a much more expensive window in the R-5 product. I believe that a great deal of marketing outlining the benefits, including payback and savings information to homeonwers will have to preceed this program for it to take off. What are the chances that the DOE will sponsor such marketing?

Eugene Robinson: "Opponents of the law can hardly advocate going back to a system in which those who really need insurance can't get it. What they can do, and surely will, is make lots of noise by pretending that any problem with anyone's health insurance is due to the Affordable Care Act. Before Obamacare, millions of Americans had their policies canceled by the insurance companies every year. Millions more had their premiums raised, their coverage reduced or both. Now when these things happen, critics will try to blame the new law."
"Increasingly, though, the GOP will sound foolish and irrelevant if it continues to put all of its eggs in the "repeal and replace" basket. The problem is that the Affordable Care Act is a set of free-market reforms based on ideas developed in conservative think tanks. Republicans who want to repeal Obamacare would have to replace it with something suspiciously similar."Save to Favorites

CraftsmanGas mower 6.75HP, 21"
There is a second hand mower, CraftsmanGas mower 6.75HP, 21", 2years old, quite new.sell for 189 CAD, I'd like to know if it's worth. Thanks a lot in advance.
Whats the model number?
I don't know the model, just the photo.
Is it self propelled? Seems they make both flavors at that size? If its not, its not a good deal, brand new from sears they run from 189-209. If it is I have heard of some people complaining that the drive system is pretty lax in power. So if you have a hilly yard it might not be strong enough.
thank you so much! i do have a hilly yard! any recommendation?
How much are you looking to spend?
ha, not much. around 300. Second hand would be better. could save me a lot of money.
I have seen a handful on closeout and specials at Lowes and Home Depot. I tried to find you a good listing of reviews. It seems consumer reports might be a good place to check out. But I don't have a membership there. :(
Also you might want to type in the one you were looking at and read some of the reviews yourself. I am sure most self-propelled at the lower price points might not do well on steep inclines. So that one still might not be a bad deal. I couldn't find it in the self propelled model, was trying to find out how much it was new. My guess would be around 289 or so.
If you do go that route, and just want a new one with warranty. Lowes carries Troybilts which are almost identicle. They have a 6.75" HP, 21" mower for 269.00 at the moment.
I have own Honda's and the Troybilt / Honda version and they were great. I still have one thats over 15 years old now. Only problem they are about 100 bucks more for the Honda engine models.
I'm sorry I am not much help, its so hit and miss with Mowers now-a-days. I guess they have all gone the "Cheaper" route. My only issue with the 2 year old one is, what happens if it breaks after a week? And would it be worth the extra 80 bucks for a brand new one?
If you settle on a different model let me know!
Good Luck!:)
Is this what you are talking about? New , Troy-Bilt 160cc / 21" High Wheeled Self-Propelled Lawn Mower,HONDA engine, but without warranty. 309 CAD, worth?
What model is that? Are you finding these off of a local Craigs list or something? Its hard to find out how much a model is in the store new without the model since they vary. Like I said I found a troy-bilt at Lowes yesterday cheap. But the exact model isnt listed on their website. If you can contact these people and get the model?
it's a second hand. somebody bought it but moved to a condo. just give me this link
http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/co...=1204830145481. the same thing.
Link doesn't work for me, asks for a postal code for the best deal in my area. I am trying to find one that matches.
So I'm guessing you live in Canada right? Prices I am sure will vary, I didn't notice that until you posted that link?
yea, i live in toronto. anyway, thank you so much. trying to get a better deal. thanks again.
I'm sorry I wasn't much help. I was hoping someone else would chime in around here. :laughing: One tip, when you settle on a model you want to buy, search it out and see how many problems people are having. Other then that as long as you stick with a more "name" brand mower you most likely will be fine.

I know you have read about them and their adventure from last night, but did you really read what happened? In a movie, people would never believe it could happen.
Pete and Kate were at the NME Awards last night in London. They were there so Kate could present an award. Sounds innocent enough.
1. Kate got drunk.
2. Kate got in a fight with Pete.
3. Kate left the show early.
4. Pete licked Kate's face and she grimaced in disgust. (Probably not drunk enough yet)
5. Pete grabbed a table spoon.
6. Pete tried to take said table spoon into the bathroom.
7. Pete did not make it and was thrown out.
8. Pete and Kate ended up outside together and argued some more.
9. Pete and Kate went home to spend time with Kate's daughter.
10. Pete and Kate decided to get married because they love each other.
11. Pete and Kate have more children.

|Boots with gun barrel heel and bullets Photo courtesy of TSA-JFK
Halloween. Dress up in a scary costume, visit some neighbors, shout, "Trick or treat!" and race home to see what's inside the bag. That's the normal spiel, but passengers at airports this Halloween put their own spin on the holiday, and believe me when I say that several had some tricks up their sleeves and in their bags.
Let's see, there was the passenger in Boston who had a steak knife in his carry-on bag; the El Paso passenger with a 6 ½-inch hunting knife in his carry-on bag; the LaGuardia Airport passenger who had eight rounds of 9 mm ammunition in his bag; the JFK Airport passenger who had a 6-inch butterfly knife in his bag; and the New Orleans passenger who had a loaded .380 caliber firearm--with a bullet in the chamber--in his carry-on bag.
Unlike trick or treat, these passengers didn't get to go home with their goodies. All of those items were confiscated. And due to jurisdictional laws, the passengers in the New York airports were cited for violating the local laws.
Now that the fall season is arriving, it's likely that many of you are camping, hunting, hiking, etc. There's a good chance the last time you wore your fall coat or used your knapsack was on a hunting or fishing trip, and maybe you left a knife or some ammunition tucked away in one of those handy-dandy compartments. Truth is, we'd rather you keep your guns, knives, and ammunition--just keep them at home, that's all. So be sure to take the time to do a quick check of your personal items to be sure you're not forgetting about the weapon you tucked away during your last trip.
And it doesn't hurt to think about what you're wearing when heading to the airport. Your favorite belt with the brass-knuckles buckle? Leave it at home. The cool western belt with bullets decorating the side, leave it in the drawer. Hand grenade belt buckle? Yep…. We see it all. And the boots pictured below that were worn to JFK Airport—the ones with the shiny bullets and handgun barrel heel--please leave them in the closet instead of wearing them to the airport, even on Halloween.

Reproductions will appreciate in value but not nearly as much or as fast.
Antique gas pumps are a finite commodity. Fewer than 50,000 left in the US.
Reproductions can be stamped out at the rate of several per day.
Antique gas pumps are nostalgic and bring back fond memories of simpler times.
Reproduction gas pumps look like something you remember.
Just look at it this way: Are you looking for an important piece of US automotive history
or a decoration? Both are important considerations. Choose which is best for you and your needs.

The Two-Month Bridge to a Course in Miracles
Full Product Description
You may already understand that "A Course in Miracles" is a philosophy of loving forgiveness. However, you may not be ready to read all 1249 pages of the Course or do all 365 daily Workbook lessons. The Two-Month Bridge to "A Course in Miracles" is a condensed edition of the Course that serves as a stepping stone to studying the full version of the Course. This book offers a two-month direct experience of the Course to help you decide if it's the right philosophy for you to believe, to study in more depth, and to apply to your daily life. For the first month, you will read just 308 of the 1249 pages of the Course. Less essential and repetitious parts of the Course have been omitted for greater simplicity so the beginner won't be overwhelmed with too much nonessential information. In order to facilitate learning, sixty questions have been inserted into the text to help you focus on the most important spiritual principles. For the second month, you will have the opportunity to put the spiritual principles you have learned in the first month into practical application by doing 30 of the 365 daily Workbook lessons. The 30 lessons selected for this training period will expose you to a wide variety of spiritual experiences that will help you to identify with your true nature as a spiritual being created by God. Some of these lessons help you to develop your inner attunement, while most of these lessons are designed to promote healthy personal relationships based on loving forgiveness. This two-month training period will help you to evaluate both the challenges and the benefits of incorporating the spiritual principles of the Course into your daily life.

What caused this damage to my roof?
Had to go up and fix a leak (deteriorated flashing) and after I took care of that, I decided to take a look at the rest of the roof. There is damage to my shingles at the peak on the east end of my roof, link below. What could cause this? My theories are either animals (I know one squirrel lives in the tree) or high winds slamming the branches into the roof. We have high winds fairly frequently. Anyone know what may be causing this?
It looks like animal damage from chewing through the roof shingles.
If it is a squirrel, then it is not covered by your home owners insurance policy, because squirrels are rodents, aka vermin.
A raccoon in a mammal, which would typically be covered under your home owners insurance policy.
I'm no pro roofer but I believe that is primarily wind damage. How old is that roof? Shingles can get brittle and the wind can get under them causing them to lift and break. I've seen that kind of damage at my brother in laws house.
Listen to Ed the roofer. Set a trap up there and see what you catch.
Where is the paper? Looks kinda like old.brittle, not installed right, wind damage.

It looks like those trees are touching your house. It looks to me that the trees did the damage by rubbing against your house. I would start by trimming the trees a bit.
Exactly. Look at the branches with no foliage on them. It looks like the wind's been blowing and beating the house with the branches. I bet that's a few years in the making.
definitely the trees ,cut them away from the roof so they don`t touch it when the wind blows:thumbsup:
Trees. I had a large bardford pear next to my new addition and it did the same thing. The shingles looked exactly like yours in the picture. I cut that sucker down.
Yep, had a guy look at it, told me the same thing. I'll be cutting them down within the next couple weeks. Trunks are too close to the house and chimneys anyway.
good move:thumbsup:
I don't know why people let plants or trees grow on their house. There shouldn't be any plants within 10 feet of your house. It just traps moisture and wrecks everything.
63 Attachment(s)
True, I didn't realize how much damage a tree touching the house could do until I saw these pics.
The previous owners had the house for 10 years, and they didn't really do anything home maintenance wise. I think they should have cut the trees down a long time ago. As it is, the guy we had do the estimate says they won't be able to fully dig/remove the stump due to proximity to utility connections.

Sherlock, where do you live? I've got a good tree guy in Massachusetts if you are around Boston.

Project Linus
Im sure most of you know about it but for those who dont and love to make afghans- there is a wonderful charity called "project Linus" (after linus from the peanuts who loves his blankie) they ask you to donate handmade blankets to them. It is a nationwide organization. I believe they also take yarn if you wish to donate some of your stash
They give blankets to children in trammatic situations. For example sick kids in the hospital or survivors of natural disasters,ect.
I volunteered with the Red Cross (as a nurse) for a massive flood in my area, and in walked these ladies with a blanket for every child in the shelter One mom was so thrilled because her little 3 year old boy had a favorite "blankie" and it was sadly lost in the flood. So she was so happy to pick out a new blankie just for him
Its a wonderful thing to do if you like to make blankets but dont know what to do with them later. They take baby blankets too
Project Linus National Headquarters is the link and you can contact someone in your area if your interested
I've heard about this but haven't looked into it yet. Most of my 'spare' lapgans go to my Mom's church ladies. Although I could do a couple for this when I'm done with current projects. I have two full sized afgans I'm currently making. (Trying to reduce my current stash.) I think they're too big for something like this so I'm thinking of handing them over to a local homeless shelter / organization. I'll keep this in mind.01-10-2011, 01:42 PM #3

Ren, they do take blankets for teens also so if you are worried about them being too big for children there are plenty of teens that would love to have a blanket But the homeless shelter is also a wonderful ideaSponsored Links Remove Advertisements01-10-2011, 03:11 PM #4

Boundaries in Reconstructionist Synagogues
Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association (RRA), Fall 1994
The author describes Reconstructionist synagogues as complex organizations guided by a strong philosophy that encourages the blurring of boundaries. She uses social systems theory to discuss the process by which synagogues make ritual and liturgical decisions; the role of the Rabbi in this process; the role of halacha and Jewish tradition; and the process by which decisions are made when the Rabbi opposes the ritual committee.

Chalk up a small victory for alternative nuclear power in the West. The U.S. Department of Energy will help North Carolina-based Babcock & Wilcox develop and build a "small modular reactor."
DOE announced recently that it had awarded funding to a B&W-led group that also includes federally owned electricity provider the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and U.S. construction firm Bechtel Corp.
TVA is applying for a license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to deploy up to 4 of B&W's 180-megawatt mPower reactors at TVA's Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the project is based.
In announcing the decision, Energy Secretary Steve Chu issued an assurance that nuclear has a solid place in the government's plans for a low carbon future – an assertion that many nuclear supporters would welcome, but with an "I'll believe more when I see more" shrug.
"The Obama Administration continues to believe that low-carbon nuclear energy has an important role to play in America's energy future," said Chu. "Restarting the nation's nuclear industry and advancing small modular reactor technologies will help create new jobs and export opportunities for American workers and businesses, and ensure we continue to take an all-of-the-above approach to American energy production."
Small modular reactors would provide alternatives to large gigawatt-plus nuclear reactors, allowing utilities or private users to add nuclear capacity without having to spend many billions of dollars in upfront costs associated with conventional behemoth reactors.
They could also provide low cost power in remote areas – where expensive and CO2-heavy diesel generators are often used – and can be an effective heat and electricity source for industrial operations. In principle they can be factory-made and transported by truck. They still have some heft though – a New York times blog on B&W's plans refers to mPower's "towering metal shell."
B&W's mPower and other SMRs that DOE evaluated are essentially scaled down versions of conventional water cooled, solid fuel uranium reactors.
As such, they are not as pronounced a departure from traditional nuclear as are other designs that we track here at Weinberg, such as liquid molten salt reactors, pebble bed reactors and fast neutron reactors. Those typically fit the "modular" form factor and in many instances will deploy thorium fuel, portending safer and more efficient nuclear operations than with uranium fuel.
South Africa's Steenkampskraal Thorium Ltd, for instance, is developing a 35-megawatt (electric) pebble bed reactor. Flibe Energy in Huntsville, Alabama, also has modular sizes in mind for its liquid thorium molten salt reactor.
Neither DOE nor B&W would disclose the amount of funding DOE is providing. Various published reports including in the Charlotte Business Journal (Charlotte, North Carolina) and Oilprice.com pegged it at $225 million.
"Through a five-year cost-share agreement, the Energy Department will invest up to half of the total project cost, with the project's industry partners matching this investment by at least one-to-one," DOE's press release states. "The specific total will be negotiated between the Energy Department and Babcock & Wilcox."
The award was part of a project to fund $450 million of SMR development that DOE announced last March, so the $225 million would represent half of that programme.
The New York Times had a more modest sense of the funding, noting, "At one point it (DOE) anticipated a $452 million program over five years, but so far Congress has appropriated only $67 million. The department is asking for another $65 million for the fiscal year that began on Oct. 1. Also, the department has not said how much it was providing to Babcock & Wilcox."
B&W CEO James Ferland welcomed the funding. "With this public-private partnership, the DOE is providing important national leadership for America in the global pursuit of SMR technology," he said. "This partnership is essential to reestablishing our nation's international competitiveness in the nuclear energy industry, as well as enhancing U.S. manufacturing infrastructure and energy independence. "
The company wasted no time in demonstrating momentum. About a week after winning the funding, it announced it had contracted Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based Lehigh Heavy Forge Corp. to fabricate the shell.
B&W is believed to have beaten rivals Westinghouse and NuScale for the award. DOE said it still plans to fund other SMR projects. Westinghouse is developing an SMR that is a smaller version of its large AP1000 "passively cooled" reactor.
But Westinghouse is also partnering with DOE and China on the development of alternative design reactors that can run on thorium or uranium.
The award to B&W is an encouraging sign that DOE is investing outside the traditional nuclear box. It would be no small development if DOE were to next apply some of its $450 million modular budget to altogether different reactor designs, not just reduced-sized ones.

did you get it all the way one ( the wheel ) and it was flush at the back of the hub? Butler is running the same wheels on a HP60, and we had to take the wheels over to ToolMakerPrevo to machine the centers out abit to clear the center of the hub at the base of the studs.

Just got my fuel cell adapter ring from Copperhead fab. I'll call them in the morning and ask for a refund. It's like JP fab changed thier name Pics to follow.
Ok where do I start. No bolts, gasket, ect(not advertised on thier site, my bad and not really that big of deal)
Sides don't physically fit together. Having built most everything myself thus far I'm not at all impressed with buying a product that is supposed to be finished and then having to grind to get it to fit together.
Here you can see that they torched over the part that is supposed to fit together inside the tank. I even flipped it over and the 2 pieces don't fit together.
Here you can see where they ran a drill through because the plasma blowout on the back side is so severe.
Being a manufacturing engineer that specializes in machining...... less than impressed is an understatement. Factor thier $10 "handling" charge that they add into thier shipping and I can say that I won't ever be buying any item from them again. They flat out shipped a product where the pieces don't fit together. It takes about 30 seconds from a quality control standpoint to check fitment prior to packaging the final product into a box and they failed to do that. Very dissapointed indeed

Didn't get any pictures over the weekend. I reinforced the front frame on the inside of the frame where I cut it. I welded my 14B truss corners. I decided to lay the 14B in one more time before burning everything home. I moved the front D60 into place and finish welded the upper together and tacked it in place. I finished welding my rear links and am using them to get the front together. Don't really have any more than that, only worked on it on saturday. Our CTOR meet and greet on saturday night did CTB2 and I in . I started burning my lower links in on Sunday morning and stopped because I was doing more harm that good in the state that I was in I did find out that my rims have a 1/4" lip inside the mounting bore that impead mounting the rims on a ford D60 front. CTB2 took that lip off to match the rest of the bore and the rims fit now. So I have to modify the other 3 rims and I can mount tires. Not really looking forward to that That's about it for updates. I'll be working on it all weekend this weekend though so hopefully I have front and rear axles under it come sunday afternoon

from what I have seen of their products, copperhead fab is a few rednecks that figured out how to program a cnc plasma and think they can run a business.... I have been less than impressed by anything they have done.

( i realize outers are a little bigger) so i called him and said i cant use this crap.. and i have a trip planning where i need these next weekend.. he was on the phone calling me the next day to verify everything with me as they reprogrammed their machine and cut me out another batch which were at my door 2 days later..

Ended up at work for 14.5 hrs saturday on my dime(love being salaried ) so I was only able to work for about 4 hrs on sunday
I tore my work from last sunday back out and touched that up. Then I put the front lowers on the frame, tacked the front upper into position and aligned my tabs at the axle end to get rid of some bolt bind. I mocked my steering back into place and started working on putting my steering box in its final resting place. I have to fill the holes for the frame crossmember still. Drilling and placing the mount for the steering box through the side of the frame hole was sweet I cut the steering shaft and mocked that back together for now so I could see my steering shaft angle. I'll have to put that back together a little more formally at a later date. I have to put a trackbar on the front and get material to put my steering together yet. It's coming along.........very.....very....very slowly
In no particular order:
Shouldn't take long to figure out what cookie cutter jeep is mine if it's ever stolen
Going to be another 2 weeks before I can work on it again too
|May 4th, 2009, 12:03 PM
I cut the material for my front control arms friday night. I notched and welded those together saturday morning. The rest of the day saturday was spent pulling the drivetrain out of my cherokee. Sold the engine and t-case so that had to come out. Sunday I sent the cherokee engine on it's way. Then I painted and assembled my front arms. I pulled my rear arms(that were used to mock the front in) and replaced with the front arms. I had to pull the axle 1" toward the body for the steering to clear the pitman arm. It's at a WB of 103" right now best I can tell. I made my front axle side spring perches sunday as well but I'm not really happy with them. I used 2 pieces of 1/4x3x3 angle iron, welded them together then put a piece of 3/16x1x1 angle iron under the perches across the center of the 2 others to keep the 2 pieces from folding up. Structurally I don't see a problem, cosmeticly, yuck . I also cut and tacked up my track bar but I need to get the spring perches in place so I can design/make my axle side track bar bracket. Hoping to make more progress next weekend. I might be on unemployment in a week due to the Chrylser situation so we'll see how things go. Only pic I snapped from this weekend. Not much to show for the amount of work.

Square spring perches really bothered me so I went back tonight and borrowed a design from Ballistic fab and reworked them a little. I guess I can't say it's mostly function as this was all cosmetic. I'm not 100% happy with the way they turned out but I like the look now alot more than what I had
Ended up having to use the plasma to finish so they aren't as symmetric as I would hope. I bought this thing 3 yrs ago for $12. It's built 2 xj bumpers, xj sliders, 1 TJ bumper, cut all the brackets ect for this build...........I'm happy I got my monies out of it. It decided to let the smoke out tonight. I'm happy with how this one held up for $12 but I won't be buying another like it. I could damn near stop it by hand and it sounded like a vacuum
The closest thing Alro had for a drop for a tie rod was 1.75x.375 wall.........it's beefy overkill but I won't have to worry about hydro assist bending it I just hope it clears the aftermarket D60 cover without any "custom" clearance.

Biomass Plant is "Commercially Operational," GRU Customers Will Feel Impact this Month
Published December 18th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE- Now that Gainesville's Biomass Plant is officially commercially operational... GRU customers can expect to pay more on their electric bill this month.
This month will be the first month that GRU customers see the full impact of the biomass plant on their bills.
After testing, at maximum capacity the biomass plant will be generating 103 megawatts of power.
That number is higher than the originally projected 100 megawatts, to make up for that increase annual contract cost will go up by 1.6 million dollars.
Gainesville City Commissioner Todd Chase, says customers will definitely be affected.
"the rate increase that made it through the budget session this past year was approximately 14 dollars a month to the average user using 100 kw a month and that's what they'll see."
Chase says GRU customers can expect to see their utility rates go up an additional 9 dollars next year.
GRU and Gainesville Renewable Energy are in a 30 year contract to purchase the energy made at the plant.
