More folks carrying, more cases of fogetfulness? Hmmm, could be. I'd like to know how many times it was men versus women, only because I could imagine it happening to a woman more often if they keep their weapon in their purse at all times whereas a man has to make a conscious effort to grab their weapon, slide it in their holster or pocket as they're heading out the door, even to the airport to catch a flight which would hopefully make them think twice realizing "oh crap, I can't carry this".
I'm of course not making excuses, nor am I being sexist, just curious what the "reasons" are that people are claiming.

Since 9/11/01 we have TSA examining all of our carry-on bags, and they're finding 1000+ guns a year. I have to wonder - how many guns were carried on board before the TSA was created?
And how many of those guns actually created problems in flight?
In light of the billions and billions spent on low-paid TSA people and high-tech scanning systems, it seems that the results are of questionable value. Those measures didn't stop a shoe bomber or an underwear bomber. After single incidents like those we spend even more money and make the mesh on the net even finer, but those measures are reactive and not pro-active. About three billion people fly as commercial air passengers worldwide each year, so statistically the likelihood of one armed terrorist getting onto an aircraft is pretty good if our security measures have a failure rate of even 1 millionth of one percent.
We need to critically re-think our transportation security measures. Some of what we do is good, but a lot of money goes into useless window-dressing.

Very right Smitty. A Congressman over here did this...just pistol whip em and call it even.
"Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" ~ Mark Twain
Disorderly conduct against a cop who doesn't know how to unload a handgun without firing it In defense of the cop, snubbies are alien to many cops these days.The flight attendant, arriving for work on a US Airways flight, had a valid handgun permit — but of course, not a permit to carry it on an airplane. As it routinely does in such cases, the T.S.A. notified local law enforcement. A Philadelphia police officer who responded tried to unload the 38-caliber handgun weapon but instead accidentally fired it. No one was hurt, and the flight attendant was issued a summary citation for disorderly conduct.

when the intervention of society... may be too late to prevent an injury.
It was one of the Bush boy's, Jeb, I think, was arrested in Seattle airport (SeaTac) with a pistol in his "brief" case...(Jeb wasa lawyer ??) anyway later in US district court in Seattle the district court judge agreed with Jeb's I FORGOT IT WAS THERE argument...he had been carrying for many many years, it was really just an oversite on his part...no intent, It worked for Jeb, and now it works for you...but Jeb was still and airhead, and so will you be if you Forget you can not carry on a airplane...
Reminds me of the time I forgot about a small pocket knife in the outside pocket on my backpack I had for carry-on. I flew to the DC area for a weekend of training at the National Fire Academy. Flew out of Portland (Maine) and they either didn't see it on the scan or didn't see an issue with it...this is Maine after all. On the way back to Maine they did find it and the guy said you can't have this in your carry-on and I was just as surprised as him. I told him I must have left it in there but it flew through Portland with me the first time now that I knew about it. He didn't seem to believe me but just chucked it in the trash so I could keep moving through the line.
This situation is a little more severe...
I carry my gun in my purse a great deal of the time. I am not sure if women keep their guns in their purse all the time or not. Doesn't do them much good in their purse if they are out in the yard or sitting in the living room does it. Even if she does she sure knows it is in there. It goes in when I leave the house it comes out when I get home. Just as a man would put his in or out of his holster. I keep mine in a belly holster when I am at home. WOMEN make a CONSCIOUS EFFORT to take their gun with them and know where the darn thing is. The darn purse weighs a ton with it in there. Pretty easy to know. Some people are just stupid and that is all there is to it.
I think we need to worry about an officer who doesn't know to not pull the trigger while you are attempting to unload a gun. I don't care if they never unloaded a .38 before or not. There is no defense for this behavior. Number one rule would be don't pull the trigger.
Our House Is Protected By The Good Lord And A gun. You Might Meet Both Of Them If You Show Up Inside My House Uninvited.
Disorderly conduct struck me as an inaccurate charge unless I imagine that the flight attendant gave the cop some inappropriate language after the ND.

she kept her job by the way. she's a nice person and a great flight attendant. she just made a mistake. a big one for sure but the TSA should've told her to go put it in her car and that should've been it IMO.
the LEO that drilled his desk with her gun has free reign inside the secure area of the PHL airport. that should scare the crap out of everyone.
Off-body carry lends itself to issues like this more than on-body carry, IMHO. It is not about a woman, or a man. If you have a gun sitting in your IWB, OWB or pocket, you are much less likely to forget its there. Comfortable rig or not. If you are used to carrying a bag with your personal items (purse for women, sometimes men carry small bags around) that sometimes houses a loaded firearm, and sometimes does not,...It would be MUCH easier to make a mistake and forget it is there.
Again: OMHO.

One reason I am totally against off body carry,people carry guns in purses and brief cases and cars etc.then forget they have them until they enter a no gun zone,or find themselves crossing into Canada or Mexico,next thing they are sitting in jail

What do you guys think about these filters?
They're pretty cheap, starting at
$87.49 to $94.99.
a stock oil filter only filters out particles that are larger than 20 microns; anything smaller goes right through and back into your engine. Stock filters also incorporate a bypass valve that allows unfiltered oil to flow to the engine during cold start-ups and when the filter surface becomes restricted
These filter claim to have a 1 micron screen and can handle 90 G.P.Ms.(unlimeted to use!)
Here is a quote from Canton/Mecca:
"Canton/Mecca oil and fuel filters are in a class by themselves. Most other filters are surface-
type filters. These other filters contain a thin layer of porous material (paper is most
common). Contaminants are caught on the surface which can soon begin to restrict the
fluid flow. These other filters have a bypass because otherwise the elements would blow
out as their flow capacity begins to diminish or when the oil is cold, such as during startup.
C/M filters, on the other hand, use a thick, porous, synthetic filter media that flows
much better than a surface element when new as well as after it has trapped a large
amount of contaminants. When a particle is trapped in the thick depth-type element, oil
can flow around the particle through another of the many passages. The 4.62 inch long
C/M element is equivalent to 4 Fram HP filters in flow rate and filtering capacity (and
the Fram HP filters are themselves far superior to standard filters). Tests show that a C/M
filter with 20,000 miles still flows better than a new conventional filter. Because of this
amazing flow capacity, C/M filters do not need a bypass so they filter all the oil, all the
time! The high-flow material is contained in a steel cage that cant blow out. The C/M
element is also unaffected by moisture which can weaken or even dissolve the paper elements
found in most other oil and fuel filters."
Seems almost to good to be true...
That's what K&N said too.
"Will out-flow and out-filter a paper element, anyday!"
Ya, out flows a paper element, But does it out-filter? Until how many till the filter element starts to "Open-up" and let more and more dirt though the system?
Any opinions on this thing? I really want to get it BTW [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emgift.gif[/IMG]

Edmonton Oilers' Darnell Nurse celebrates his first
NHL goal in the third period of an game against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2015, in St. Paul, Minn. The Wild won 4-3. Jim Mone / Associated Press
Oilers 3, Wild 4
It was a strange, back-and-forth game in Minnesota which saw the Edmonton Oilers score three consecutive goals at one point but give up deuces at both ends of the night to fall short to the Wild, 4-3 in regulation.
It was an uneven effort from the visitors that ultimately caught up to them. The Oilers scored in each period but had major lulls in all three frames where they were in chase mode for extended intervals. When they finally did gain possession of the puck, it seemed they were happy enough to punt.
The Wild came out hitting, with Chris Porter and Matt Dumba landing the two biggest hits of the game on Taylor Hall and Lauri Korpikoski respectively, the latter sending the Finn to the quiet room for a time. Other than taking a pointless retaliation penalty after the Dumba hit, the Oilers had little pushback on the physical side, landing just 10 hits total on the night. But they did push back where it counted, crawling out of a two-goal hole to get back in the game. But once the visitors got the lead on Darnell Nurse's first career goal, they fell back into a shell, and the Wild were all too happy to bring the play to them. Inevitably, bam! bam! two goals in 43 seconds on defensive zone breakdowns. The Oilers eventually recovered for a decent last gasp, firing 4 shots on net and 4 more that were blocked in the final 60 seconds. But in the end it was a third consecutive regulation loss, during which time Oilers scored 9 goals but couldn't manage a single standings point due to an all-too-familiar problem — crummy defensive play.
There were some promising moments from some promising Oilers, but a few too many brain cramps for my liking. Todd McLellan has been harping on game management since Game One, and he's got a bunch more footage for the next film room session. They can look at defencemen who can't make a clean pass in their own zone, wingers who can't get it out along the boards, centres who are beaten to the net front. Todd McLellan nailed it in his post-game scrum when he commented, "I can live with mistakes, but not the same ones over and over and over again." Hear, hear.

log & summary (David Staples) Player Grades
The following are the player grades for the Oilers, with 10 being a "perfect" game, 9 extraordinary, 8 great, 7 good, 6 above average, 5 average, 4 below average, 3 poor, 2 terrible and 1 deserving of almost instant demotion. Compiled by Bruce McCurdy.
#2 Andrej Sekera, 4. Was slow to cover Tomas Vanek on the second Wild goal, a PP tally scored by Marco Scandella on a ridiculously easy give-and-go that left both Sekera and his partner Fayne waving at air. The veteran duo got thumped by all shot metrics. Sekera was the more effective of the two, managing 4 shots on goal himself while blocking 3. Had consecutive second-period shifts that lasted 1:20, 2:15, and 1:10 as he and Fayne had all sorts of trouble clearing the zone, whether paired with the McDavid line or the RNH line. The long-change bench is only 100 feet away, but it seemed like 100 miles at times.
#4 Taylor Hall, 6. Got absolutely smoked by Porter in the early going but took his lumps and bounced back to play a decent game. Scored on his only shot of the game when he came of the bench as the extra attacker on a delayed penalty and promptly cashed a rebound. Had trouble getting his shots through otherwise. Made a lovely play in the offensive corner to rag the puck before finding Pakarinen for the 2-2 goal.
#5 Mark Fayne, 2. A tough night all the way around. Got smoked by nearly a 2:1 margin on all even-strength shot metrics (Corsi +11/-21, Fenwick 8-14, shots 5-9). Was a culprit on 5 scoring chances against at evens and 2 more on the PK. This from a guy who's not here for his offence. Deflected the first goal past his own goaltender, then got caught standing still as Scandella blew right past him unmolested to redirect the second from close range. He and Sekera looked like the lions on the library stairs on that one, and about as fast.
#10 Nail Yakupov, 6. A strange game. Set up Edmonton's first goal to extend his point streak to 6 games, and was frequently dangerous, as his team-high 4 shots and 9 shot attempts attest. But made a number of bad decisions with the puck, with one cross-ice pass to nobody coming 170 feet the other way to end up in Oilers' net. Had trouble navigating the offensive blueline, either coughing the puck or causing offsides. Was part of Edmonton's most dangerous line all the same, and was involved in 8 scoring chances.
#12 Rob Klinkhammer, incomplete. The Oilers' lack of physical response was in no small part due to the absence of the banging winger, who went down awkwardly on a first-period forecheck and eased his way to the bench and down the tunnel with a leg injury. Appears set to join Jordan Eberle and Matt Hendricks on the Nuge's Injured Winger List.
#16 Teddy Purcell, 4. Struggled to clear the puck along the defensive wall too often for my liking, including one dreadful sequence where he was beaten both coming and going and was ultimately bailed out by a splendid Talbot stop. Brought little to the table offensively, with just 1 shot and 1 scoring chance contribution. Perhaps his most representative contribution was a play where he stole the puck only to cough it right back up.
#25 Darnell Nurse, 7. Did his cause a world of good with a very solid first outing. After a slightly tentative start he found the range in the final two frames, keeping the front of the net clear for the most part and winning some battles in the corner. Made a couple of nice rushes, gaining the zone before smartly peeling back on the first, then capping the second with a hard shot that tipped off a Wild defender and caught the top corner behind a surprised Devan Dubnyk for his first career goal. Was on the ice for the 3-3 goal minutes later but was outnumbered in front by two Wild players, the second of whom tapped it home. Had a team high 3 hits — which is to say, 30% of his club's hits — fired a couple shots and blocked a couple.
#26 Iiro Pakarinen, 5. Got the perhaps-unenviable task of Nuge's Winger after Klinkhammer's departure, and showed good and bad. Scored his first of the season with a quick shot off a Hall feed that also caught a shin pad on its way into the net. (There were no fewer than four goals, two at each end, that benefitted from a weird deflection off an opponent.) Had his issues defensively though. The Oilers got thumped by all shot metrics with Pakarinen on the ice.
#28 Lauri Korpikoski, 4. Was handed a gift 2-on-1 when Dumba stumbled at the point, but he and Purcell utterly botched the play with a pair of dreadful passes and, not surprisingly, no shots. Got drilled in the head by Dumba a while later and left the bench for the remainder of the first. 1 shot, 0 hits, and precious little impact on the game.
#33 Cam Talbot, 5. Made a few nice stops, notably a superb glove grab off a Jason Zucker rocket and a pad stop of a bang-bang play after Purcell got owned on the wall. Hard to point a finger at him on any specific goal, two of which were deflected off teammates on their way towards goal and the other two which were poorly defended. Was saved by his posts a couple of other times. 28 shots, 24 saves, .857 save percentage are uglier numbers than his night's work warranted, so gets a bare passing grade. Your mileage may vary.
#42 Anton Slepyshev, 5. Did OK in a very limited role (just 7:36 TOI), during which time he was a little bit of a physical presence with 2 hits, including Edmonton's best of the night. His size and physicality are unexpected given the prior scouting reports on this player, and he's applying both to earn occasional fourth-line minutes. No shot attempts.
#51 Anton Lander, 4. Did lots of good things, including a team-best 10/16=63% on the faceoff dot, a very good shorthanded chance, and contributions to 3 other chances at even strength. Beaten to the net-front on the winning goal however. Still looking for his first point of the season ten games in.
#55 Mark Letestu, 4. I barely noticed him, truth be told, and neither did the stat sheet which was a wall of zeroes other than a mediocre 3/7=43% on the dot. Played just 4:34 at evens as McLellan cut down to three lines early. Oddly, led Oilers forwards in ice time on each special team.
#62 Eric Gryba, 2. To quote my notes: "62 stripped behind net"; "62 brutal pass into skates, turnover in D-zone"; "62 suicide pass -> 28 drilled in head"; "62 retaliation penalty". That's all in the first eight minutes of the game! Gryba was in the box for said (marginal) retaliation penalty when Minny scored the 2-0 goal. Did make a minor contribution to Edmonton's first goal, but made the blunder of the night on the game winner two periods later when he held the puck behind the Oilers net for about ten steamboats while Minnesota cleared the zone on a delayed offside, completed a full line change, and then redeployed the forecheck, at which point Gryba slapped the puck up the players' bench side directly to a waiting Wild. From there, into the net she goes. It was the second game in a row Gryba made a serious blunder on a crucial goal, enough to draw criticism from McLellan in the post-game scrum, not by name but unambiguously by situation. Zero hits and precious little physicality (other than that penalty) on a night the Oilers could have used a little pushback. Definitely not his night.
#67 Benoit Pouliot, 6. A solid game on Edmonton's best line, contributing to 8 scoring chances for and 0 against while posting solid shot metrics. A strong foil for McD-Yak on this night, doing some good work both in open ice and in the tough areas to keep the puck moving north. Earned an assist on Nurse's goal. Made a fine pass to send McDavid in alone late in the third. Played a few ticks short of 20 minutes, his highest number of the season by nearly 3:00.
#77 Oscar Klefbom, 6. His 22:08 led all defenders in ice time. Adapted fairly well to the switch to right defence, and to the new partner in Nurse after a steady diet of Justin Schultz the last 60 or so games. On this night he was the best of the Oilers' RD and it wasn't particularly close. 5 shot attempts, 2 blocks, an assist on Nurse's goal and an unlucky bounce off the shaft of his own stick that deflected straight to the goal scorer. Was involved in 4 Edmonton scoring chances, just the 1 against, all in the third period.
#88 Brandon Davidson, 5. He was one of three Oilers (Gryba, Lander) to be overwhelmed down low in the cascade of chaos that followed Gryba's bad turnover, and that moment might be the takeaway for many observers. This one saw lots of good things from Davidson, which were backed up by some tidy on-ice shots metrics (Corsi +16/-8; shots on goal +8/-4). He was involved offensively, activating deep into the zone a couple of times, and contributing 4 shot attempts, including a very decent shot from the point in the last minute with Talbot on the bench. Got caught one time when McDavid's pass didn't get through and he was called for a nebulous hooking penalty on an emergency check that prevented a jailbreak. But I for one don't mind a d-man who will pinch in behind McDavid occasionally. He was the one defender who managed to keep his shifts of reasonable length — his longest shift of 1:05 was the 25th longest of the defence corps as a whole. Did I mention there was trouble with the long change?
#93 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, 4. 21½ honest minutes with precious little to show for it. Offensively was credited with no shots and no points (though he may yet get a scorekeeper's review on Pakarinen's snipe, where he put the puck deep for Hall to win behind the net). Defensively he was caught out by Ryan Suter who snuck behind him to tap in the 3-3 goal.
#97 Connor McDavid, 8. He was nothing short of unbelievable in the first period, when he put on a handful of dazzling stickhandling and skating exhibitions where he beat multiple opponents while somehow keeping ahold of the puck. One such sequence was rewarded when he won possession in his own end with a deft touch, drew a tripping penalty in the process, but carried on in the continuation to burst deep into the zone and feed the puck to Yakupov in the slot, with Hall ultimately cleaning up the garbage. Came on gangbusters down the stretch, barely missing the tying marker when he broke in, deked Dubnyk, but didn't have quite enough room to beat the post. He chipped in on 4 Edmonton scoring chances in the last 5 minutes to finish with a team-leading 9 on the night, vs. 1 mistake on a Wild chance. Had by far the best shot metrics of any Oiler: Corsi of +29(!)/-17 and shots on goal of +14/-6 during his extensive even-strength ice time, vs. +22/-36 and +9/-17 respectively when he was on the bench. Even managed a respectable 7/14=50% on the dot. Played 22:19 overall to lead not only the forwards but all Edmonton skaters. That didn't take long! Related at the Cult of Hockey:

Part I: The people were "not a party" and opposed the Constitution for United States.
Part II: Speaks of the fundamental difference between free self government and less than free government by contract.
Many claim modern government is unconstitutional or acts unconstitutionally. It is easy to assume that the institutions and activities of the present governing powers are in violation of that originating document and undoubtedly it is from time to time.
A great deal of the turmoil and confusion can be put to rest with a closer look at the Constitution. What did it actually create and by whom and by what means was it established?
We have seen that the people were not a party to it, and we have also seen that the people openly opposed and objected to it. The states did not have the power of the King which had already become limited and questionable even before the Declaration of Independence because of the charters, deeds and sacrifice of the people for centuries in this new land.
What authority did the States have to ratify the Constitution? There were rules for the ratification of the Constitution which had been set forth by those who had already signed it. Those men meeting in secret had no more authority to sign such a document into law for Americans than the average man on the street. They had already far exceeded their commission from the states by even drafting such a document.
The States owed their existence to their own varied history, charters, compacts, and the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation were an agreement between the States made in accordance to customary international law. They also had limited agreements between the people of varying status in the states.
"The contract makes the law"1
The principle classes of law "when examined as to its different systems it is divided into civil law, common law, canon law... It is also divided into natural law and positive law. Into written law, lex scripta; and unwritten law, lex non scripta. Into law merchant, martial law, municipal law and foreign law."2
In international law each state was as separate to each other as Mexico is to Canada at least with "respect to their municipal laws and foreign law."3 Any violation of that original contract between those separate States would be a breaking of the Law of Nations.
Pacta servanda sunt. Agreements must be kept.
Samuel Adams stated, in August of 1776, "Our Union is complete; our constitution composed, established, and approved. You are now the guardians of your own liberties." Constitutions are not always in writing. "For the most part the English Constitution is unwritten."4
"A constitution is a body of precepts the purpose of which is to control governmental action until modified in some authorized manner."5
If a constitution is created in an unauthorized manner it is in reality a revolution.
"If a constitution expressly provides that it may be amended only in a certain way and another way followed, such an attempted amendment is illegal; but if it is acquiesced in it becomes effective as a peaceful revolution such as took place when the United States Constitution took effect upon the ratification by nine states in spite of the fact that the old Articles of Confederation provided that they should not be amended without unanimous consent of the States."6
If the Constitution was a revolution who was revolting? And against whom or what were they revolting? Every state contained a formidable opposition to the Constitution. North Carolina and Rhode Island prevented lawful ratification. The spirit of the Federalists and their backers literally forced compliance there.
Individualism, in the hearts of a people who had carved out a place for liberty in this wilderness, was root of the tree of opposition. Resistance against the Constitution was so entrenched that war seemed likely.
On July 4, 1788 Judge William West and members of the Country Party marched into Providence, Rhode Island with more than a 1,000 armed anti-federalists.
Let us add one more ingredient to this stew of thought. If the Declaration of Independence was signed and communicated to the world because of the "long train of abuses and usurpation" of the King and his "history of repeated injuries and usurpation" then it seems that it was the King who was revolting against the People of America not the other way around as we are commonly taught.
So, what was the real American revolution? Was it the constitution itself? And what was the constitution revolting against? Was it revolting against the lawful representatives of a government of the people? Were there powers and men encouraging them and even coercing them to break their pact of agreement with the people?
I say "lawful representatives" because each of those States were only republics. They were republics of a much purer nature than is seen today anywhere. Very little power was in the hands of the instituted legislative bodies and titular leaders. The real civil power was in the hands of the individual freeman. They could not rule over their neighbor but were free to rule over themselves.
Ignorance and vanity tempered with apathy and avarice are the greatest allies to tyranny. What is the authority that makes the Constitution of the United States and the Federal government created by it? What allows the Federal government the right to claim itself the supreme power which merely allows the people a liberty subject to its power to "define the moral, political, and legal character of their lives"?7
Could the Constitution alone create a national government?
The "states unanimously rejected the recommendation of a national government, and by excluding the word national from all their credentials, demonstrated that they well understood the wide difference between a federal and a national union."8
A nation is a people and a national government is established directly by the people. Any attempt to create a national government would fall subject to the natural rights of the people. People could invest their rights in a national government, or their children's rights but they could not vest their neighbor's rights.
We have seen from several sources that the creation of the federal government was not put to the people, nor was it considered national by the states.9 Although "... it was contended in the convention that the creation of a federal government, although the old Congress never made the discovery, revoked the declaration of independence, and reduced the states to corporations."10
The separation of the individual states from the union was their right. This was not seriously contested in the Civil War. It was their attempt to leave the Union taking Federal property that brought the conflict to its bloody outcome. This is a precept that should be carefully weighed by every individual who wishes to shed his Federal mantel today.
Because of constructive and direct waivers by the states it has become common to hear the once sovereign states referred to as only "quasi sovereign." The states were States and contained an element of sovereignty, but as republics the real power or the potential for power remained with the people who would take the trouble to retain it.
If the United States government is a national government now then the question must be asked - did the people make this choice by careful reasoning, calm debate and contemplated conclusions, or was it created by constructions in word or deed?
"When all government, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the Center of all Power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."11
This fear voiced by Jefferson almost 200 years ago that Federalism would become venal and oppressive was well founded but is it usurpation? In the United States, today, the Federal government claims a supreme power over, "States, local government private associations, neighborhoods, families, and individuals"12 There is no one who does not feel the effect of federal power upon their lives. The present is a product of the past and we and the fathers who came before us have duplicity in its creation.
"Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. Government is force; like fire it is a dangerous servant—and a fearful master." attributed, George Washington, 1797.
Men kindle the fires of government when they grant it power for whatever purpose. The more responsibilities people bestow upon its agency the more fuel they put at its disposal. The breath of tyrants merely fans the flames sorely tempted by the weakness and wantonness of we the people.
Mere agencies of the federal government may now limit the policy making discretion of States and local governments.13 Their power reaches into every corner of man's once free state.
"We must realize that today's Establishment is the new George III. Whether it will continue to adhere to his tactics, we do not know. If it does, the redress, honored in tradition, is also revolution… the truth is that the vast bureaucracy now runs this country, irrespective of wha

Engine won't pull R.P.M's
I put the car away last fall running a best of 10.60's at 124 mph. I back the valves off for winter{ this is a solid cam} Did some upgrades to suspension, added motor plate,engine limiters, new headers, Sent converter back to be loosened up,sent my quick fuel E-85 carb to Horsepower Innovations to be reworked. I bring the car out after these upgrades now the car will leave good but falls on it's face.Will not pull above 5000-5500 RPM in any gear.
I have checked timing set at 34*,tried a different msd box, different coil, Disconnected tach and shift light.Did not help the problem.I have checked valve lash, has not changed. I am thinking valve springs may be weak.
while my car is a full two seconds slower than yours it does the same thing. brick wall at 5200 to 5500. a fuel test at the carb showed not enough fuel volume. to top it off running the pump with the engine off also showed insufficient tank venting....bobn
I forgot to say I flow tested fuel system with the original a1000 fuel pump,did not flow enough.The fuel pump was old so I replaced with a new a1000 that flowed better than the old one. I tried putting the 2 a1000 pumps together and the regulator would not return enough fuel.I could not get fuel pressure under 11 psi. I bought an magnafuel 500 fuel pump and regulator.
have you checked the vent on the tank? if so the only other thing I can think of is the valve springs, do you have a spring pressure tester? good luck
I checked the vent to fuel cell, was no blockage.I flow tested the fuel system with the cell cap off and on there was no flow difference, So i think that the vent is ok. I do have a valve spring tester.I will test the springs and see what happens. Thank you for all help. Larry
OK the big question is what did you turn for R's last fall before you put it away.
6200 rpm
You said you had the carb worked on. It still sounds like a fuel starvation problem to me. Just not enough gas to keep it turning as quick as you need it to. I'd check the carb out again just to make sure. Maybe take it back to the guys that did the work and let them know what is going on and have them check it out.
I am thinking about trying a gas carb and see what happens. I just have a hard time paying $14-$16 a gallon for race gas.
pull a set of springs and check the pressure.
last year, I had the same issue, 5k rev limiter, pull the springs, checked them and poof, reading were way off. a couple shims later, poof 6500-7k no issues
I found the valve springs were weak, replaced them. Did not help. I was able to borrow a friend's e85 carb and the car is fixed ran 10.56 @126 mph. I have to send the carb back to be fixed now. Thank you for all the help, Larry
I'm having the same issue. What on the carb is the problem. My dominator works find but when l go to the smaller 750 it dies at 5000. I am on E85 as well
I sent the carb back. He took it a part and did not find why it did not work for me. He wants me to lock out the timing. He is putting a different tune in it that he said is too rich to drive on the street. My car is a track only car. I should have it back next week I hope.

I have about 7 track days behind me now all at Lime Rock Park. I used to work in Marketing there and it's the closest. The EMS staff highly recommended SCDA and PDA in the name of safety. I remember watching "other clubs" out on track while in meetings and seeing and hearing of very dangerous/foolish stuff sometimes. SCDA and PDA do not tolerate "yahoos". You also usually find many of the students in much higher level of nice cars there which is fun too (Ferrari, Porsches, Lotus, Lambo, blah blah blah).
The higher performance driving schools are the best and safest way to learn. Maybe they are more expensive but much safer and a great amount of track time. The in car instructors are excellent and friendly. The classroom instruction is also great truly giving you a judgement free education on driving technique and logic. Ask Questions?!
It is so much fun every time I get out on track. I can't wait to drive at more tracks when I have the time and extra money for travel.
To sum up, track days have made me a more confident, aware, and conscientious driver. It has helped lessen that "need for speed" and provided a fun and safe environment to drive.
Just make sure your car is safe and ready for the event. Tires and brakes especially. You cannot afford to skimp on safety at any events like this. The speeds involved can kill.
I agree with all of this...especially the reduced "need for speed". You just can't get the same thrill on the street unless you drive like a stupid, reckless a**hole, so you do tend to cool it when running around town.
I do need to get better brake pads...working on burning up the stock set I have on! lol Agreed about the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs: I'm very impressed considering they are reasonably priced "street" tires (using a set for track day/time trial duty for now), not DOT R-compound 60 wear rating race rubber. Sure, Victoracers or something like that would drop my lap times, but also beat up both my wallet and suspension bushings just a bit quicker ;)

A new exhibit featuring Camden in the Civil War opened Sept. 6 and will run through January 11, 2014.
A community-wide meeting will be held at the Robert Mills Courthouse at 6 p.m. Wednesday. The meeting will inform the public of the beginning stages of the Arnett Muldrow firm's marketing plan for the city of Camden. Arnett Muldrow will gather input to assist with planning efforts for the tourism and city branding.
A simple word change to Connie Francis's 1961 signature tune "Where the Boys Are" could morph that classic into the perfect theme song for aviators. "Where the birds are" seems a fitting anthem for that confederation of sky jockeys who seek the thrill of flight in jets, helicopters, and sailplanes. Those pilots are keenly aware that they invade the natural habitat of birds and take precautionary measures to avoid unwanted encounters.
Camden City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to award a bid to place electric lines underground on Broad Street in Dusty Bend to Sumter Utilities.
In keeping with the projected schedule of demolition for the Maxway building, the above photo shows that demolition is well underway. The Maxway building closed for business in Camden about a dozen years ago and will be cleared by the end of September or early October.
Arnett Muldrow & Associates Ltd., the Greenville-based marketing firm contracted by the city of Camden to create a tourism plan, market assessment and branding plan for the city, will kick off its work with a public input meeting Sept 18.
The city of Camden may spend more than $630,000 to for utility and other improvements to both Dusty Bend and two locations in downtown Camden.
A record number of visitors walked through the doors of the Camden Archives and Museum during the city of Camden's 2012-13 fiscal year. During a Camden City Council work session Thursday afternoon, Archives Director Katherine Richardson said in Fiscal Year 2013, 7,401 people visited the archives, an increase of more than 1,500 visitors from 2011-12.
Camden Urban Forester Liz Gilland announced by email Wednesday that the city of Camden will be removing four live oaks and one Bradford Pear tree at the Amtrak station this week.
Camden son Patrick Davis believes it's finally happening for the Gamecocks. In fact, he believes the Cocks may be close to the top of the mountain not far from the promised land. Perhaps this "land of Canaan" will come in the form of a national championship.
Ed Royall is not a subscriber to short-term commitment. On the contrary, this month the Camden lawyer is celebrating his 60th anniversary with the firm now known as Savage, Royall and Sheheen. And the active 83-year-old plans to keep right on working part time at the firm.
Clifton H. Anderson looks back at the 1963 March on Washington with fond memories. Anderson was living and working in D.C. at the time and attended the march.
The city of Camden is asking more than 30 churches in the city to participate in a "Let Freedom Ring" bell-ringing ceremony Wednesday to mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Camden City Manager Mel Pearson is expected to update Camden City Council on the ceremony during its 4 p.m. work session Tuesday.
People walking or driving through downtown Camden may not see the old Maxway's walls come tumbling down quite yet. What they will see this week, perhaps as early as today, is the first stages of work to remove asbestos from the site.
There are going to be some changes to this year's Carolina Downhome Blues Festival in Camden and Camden City Council is helping the Fine Arts Center (FAC) of Kershaw County to make those changes and advertise the festival. Council members asked FAC Executive Director Kristin Cobb to speak as they considered a resolution to appropriate $5,000 worth of additional hospitality taxes to assist with advertising expenses. Some of the money will also be used for additional staging and security costs.

I purchased a house and noticed after doing an inspection the foundation has a chunk missing out of it. Looks like the eaves wasn't draining far enough away and the elbow was probably popped off. Anyways what would be the best repair method for restoring this back. Should I drill into the concrete and drive metal rods into the existing concrete and put in some mesh and concrete to hold it in place??? Some proper insight would be greatly appreciated.
Kurt... From the pic's , I think you are just wanting a cosmetic fix (not a structural issue.)
If that corner fits, I'd glue it back on with a urethane like Gorilla glue.
Paint it with a product called Link, or an equivalent masonry adhesion prep, and then just begin building it back up with stucco (Home Depot), a little at a time, till in a few days it is back to where you want it.

sigrok-qt is a Qt-based GUI for sigrok.
NOTE: sigrok-qt is currently not actively maintained. Please use PulseView instead.
Getting the code
$ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-qt
You can also browse the source code via gitweb.
Distribution packages
See Downloads.
Building from source
See the respective OS-specific page, e.g. Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, or FreeBSD.
Cross-platform support with native Look'n'Feel
Runs on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and any of the many other platforms supported by Qt 4. The GUI also works on various architectures, including x86, ARM, PowerPC, SPARC, and many more.
The UI looks and feels "native" on the respective operating system.
Getting samples
Dockable channel windows
Every logic analyzer channel/probe has its own dockable window where the signal waveform and any required metadata is being displayed. These dock-windows have various nice properties:
- Movable. The dock-windows can be re-arranged and re-ordered into any desired order. For example, you might want to display the SCK, MISO, MOSI, CS lines of an SPI capture in four consecutive channel windows (and not dispersed in channels 1, 4, 5, and 7 for instance) for better readability.
- Floatable. You can also float any of the dock-windows at any time, i.e. draw them "out" of the main application window and place them anywhere on your desktop space. This is nice, for instance for placing the SCL and SDA channel windows right over your webbrowser window where you have the I2C Wikipedia page open, to check if your I2C protocol looks OK.
- Closable. Of course, any of the dock-windows can also be closed at any time (e.g. if you currently only want to see the RX and TX lines of some UART you're analyzing, but you don't care about the other 6 signals of your 8-channel logic analyzer). You can re-open the closed dock-windows again at any time by right-clicking on the titlebar of any of the still-open dock-windows.
- Horizontal and vertical titlebar. Whether the dock-windows have a horizontal title-bar or a vertical one is configurable (at runtime). The latter is nice if you want to compare two signals / channels, as the titlebar doesn't get in the way.
- Scrollbars and/or scroll-wheel for zooming and scrolling.
- Protocol decoder support is work in progress.
The sigrok-qt GUI can easily be translated into different languages using Qt's support tools. Currently, the following translations are available:

e85 is not more energy-rich than 93 octane. In fact if you were to run the two side-by-side in naturally aspirated motors operating with similar parameters, the e85 setup would require about 30% more fuel, and would produce lower power. (Yes, tuning the e85 operating parameters separately would yield a bit more power than the 93 octane setup, but still with substantially more fuel.)
The benefit to e85 comes in the fact that it is very resistant to knock (FreddyG's comment is correct, in that it has an aparrant octane rating around 100); when used in a turbocharged (or supercharged) application, this allows you to run more boost and timing, which allows you to put more fuel into the cylinder, which results in greater torque and power.

Seeking 383 chevy ring gap specs
This seems to be something of a preference type of question because I have gotten different responses from my machinist, as well as tech lines I have called.
I was checking my ring gaps for a .030 over 383 I'm building (my first), and the top rings gapped at .014 (with one at .013) each, and the second rings gapped at an even .020 each.
These are Speed Pro rings part # R-8902-30. The top ring is chrome moly and the pistons are forged 10.5(approx) Speed Pros.
My machinist told me that .014 is fine if I'm not running nitrous, and that they will open some more after so many miles are on the engine. I plan for it to be a decently strong street engine. He recommended not to go any lower than .012 on the top rings.
The tech lines I called gave me a figure of no lower than .018 on the top rings. The other tech line told me .004 (huh?).
My machinist has the best reputation in town here and I tend to prefer to go with his advice, but I'm wondering if I should just file the rings up a thousandth or so to about .016 which he recommended in case nitrous might be in the engine's future. I sure appreciate any advice. Thanks.
i would go with .016'' so you have some versatility if you choose to run nitrous.
Thank you for the advice. Right now I don't plan on nitrous, but I never know what I would want later on.
If I can ask another question: What is the proper method for filing chrome moly rings? I understand that I have to be careful of the moly coating while I file.
Thanks again.
there is a tool,speedway motors sells them for $34.95
this is the best way to gap rings and for the money it's a great tool to have if you plan to build more then one engine in your life time. :thumbup:
part #91089408
Thanks, I will get one. Even if this motor flies apart, I plan to keep trying.
thats the spirit,all but the flying apart deal.lol
sometimes parts do fail though :smash:
anymore questions will be here to make sure it stays together.
best of luck with your build.
I'm guessing the second tech line meant .004" per inch of bore diameter - a common measure for top rings ( .016" in your case).
I have a question, why does nitros require a wider ring gap.
no2 requires a bigger gap because of high temps in the cyl. This causes the ring to grow more. .004" per in of bore is pretty much a standard spec. So .014"-.016" would be great. And .016-.018 in a nitrous motor.
Be sure to get all the burrs of the ring after you file it. You also want to cut the ring from the outside edge toward the center so as not to chip or round of that outer edge that will go against the cyl wall.

"Lions for Lambs" fails to roar for United Artists
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Lions for Lambs," the star-studded first film from United Artists since Tom Cruise and his longtime producing partner took over the fabled studio, has so far generated more yawns than roars at box offices.
After three weeks in theaters, the antiwar drama directed by Robert Redford with an A-list cast featuring Redford, Cruise and Meryl Streep, has grossed a meager $14 million in North American ticket sales and about $26 million more overseas.
That tally surpasses the $35 million reportedly spent to make the film, which was distributed domestically by UA parent company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and internationally by News Corp subsidiary 20th Century Fox.
Entertainment trade paper Daily Variety said the film was unlikely to gross more than $60 million in theatrical revenues worldwide and reported some industry watchers projecting the movie could lose as much as $25 million.
The film's anemic performance coupled with mostly negative reviews marked a disappointing start for the reconstituted studio that Cruise and onetime agent Paula Wagner took over after ending their producing deal at Paramount Pictures.
Their installation at UA, with Wagner as CEO, was touted a year ago as a revival of the storied but then-moribund studio, founded in 1919 by silent era stars Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and director D.W. Griffith.
Wagner acknowledged that "Lions for Lambs" failed to live up to expectations but defended the movie as worth making, both commercially and artistically. Continued...

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello, and thank you for contacting Just Answer. My name isXXXXX am a bankruptcy law professional, and I look forward to answering your questions today. Just so I am clear on what you are asking, are we talking about a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Great, thank you for the extra information. In a chapter 7 bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee generally has access to everything in the bankruptcy estate. The bankruptcy estate is every asset the bankruptcy debtor has, as well as any right to an asset or funds they have accrued, during the year in which the bankruptcy is filed. So, for example, let's say the bankruptcy petition is filed Jan 1st 2013, but the tax refund for 2012 is not received until March of 2013. Because the right to that refund accrued prior to the bankruptcy filing, the trustee will likely at least look at seizing that return.
That one return, however, is the only one that would be a part of the bankruptcy estate, any refunds that accrue during a period after the bankruptcy is filed would not be a part of the bankruptcy estate.
ok so just first yr after bankruptcy?
Generally, yes. Again, this is because the trustee can only go after assets that you had a right to BEFORE and UP TO the date that the bankruptcy was filed. Anything that was earned (as opposed to received) AFTER the date of filing is generally not considered part of the bankruptcy estate, although there are certainly exceptions, particularly inheritances. That is where a claim for a spouse's death could come in to play.
Generally, if you receive an inheritance or distribution from a deceased's estate within 180 days of the filing of a bankruptcy petition, that is also subject to possible seizure by the bankruptcy trustee.
i am not talking inheritance i am talking med suit because of an illness from like labor and indust
from another state also
Unfortunately, right to settlement or award from a lawsuit are also subject to the trustee so long as the right to the money accrued prior to the bankruptcy. If the injury or death occurred after the petition is filed, then it may be exempt, but if the right to sue (meaning the injury) occurred prior to filing for bankruptcy, unfortunately that would be subject to the trustee's right to take over, even if it occurred in a different state.
The general rule is, any right to sue or money accrued before bankruptcy, subject to trustee control. Any right to sue or money accrued post filing, not subject to trustee control, with some exceptions.
k thank you for your time
The easiest way to think about it is that the trustee basically steps in and takes over any assets or rights of action that accrue prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition.
You are very welcome. If you do not have any further questions, please remember to RATE my answer positively, so that I can receive credit for my work.
k yes that is all for today

They hold 5 gals each, have 2 handles (one to carry it and one to pour) and can be lashed onto stantions or whatever. I guess its not an elegant solution but it works for daysailors all the way up to ''round the world cruisers..
Outboard fuel storage
This may be a unique feature to my boat, but a possible retrofit for some sailboats with open aft deck areas, such as abaft of center cockpits or over swim platforms.
On the raised aft deck of my Nauticat Pilothouse Ketch, are two solid teak bench boxes flanking the aft helm station. Each bench-box measures about 42"l x 18"w x 20"h, is firmly screwed to blocks secured to the teak decking and has a hinged grated teak lid, under the upholstered top cushion. The bottom panel is vented.
I have found these boxes to be very versatile for storage of cruising gear while under way. One bench contains my spare alum. propane cylinder (the cylinder in use has a designated locker within the starboard side deck steps) and the tender''s outboard gas jugs . . . since the teak grating allows for required air circulation. The other bench works well for temporary stowage of PFDs, a small cooler, docking lines & chafing gear.
Outboard fuel storage
I''ve been looing at a lot of boats and haven''t seen a very safe way of storing a gasoline jug for the outboard. What do most people do? There''s usually a draining locker for the propane tank(s), but I haven''t really seen a locker that looks safe for gasoline.

Cellphone secuirty company Whisper Systems is getting ready to release a free version of two applications designed to make it harder for authorities to listen in on conversations such as those in which protesters organized the peaceful overthrow of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Cellphones and social networks used by protesters carrying smartphones played critical roles in the protests, especially after the Egyptian government shut off Internet access in the hope of quashing resistance.
The company is working on Egypt-specific versions of its RedPhone, which encrypts voice packets before they're sent across VoIP connections, and TextSecure, which does the same for texts.
The tiny, semi-anonymous company released versions developed by a researcher who goes by the name Moxie Marlinspike -- who describes himself as a hacker who is also a Master Mariner who delivers yachts worldwide. He developed the encryption software partly to protect his own data and calls while travelling overseas.
The software works with phones for any Egyptian carrier, though only on Android, which makes up about 3 percent of the Egyptian market.

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by aurora, Jul 25, 2006.
Bill Walton said during the broadcast that Puerto Rico is ranked 11th in the world.
Lets not forget Bill Walton is an idiot.
actual quote during the broadcast from Bill Walton "and we can't say enough what a really really great human being Dwyane Wade is."
This is also the same person who mercilessly butchers the English (or I guess Spanish) language by calling Carlos Arroyo's team "Porto Reecko".
that's how i pronounce it!!
I pronounce it (Pooh-where-toe Rrrrrrrrrr-eeek-a).
i think redd, like chauncey and kobe, got a pass for this particular competition. i think he's getting married or some such. but he may yet be on the 15 man squad in the future.
Looks like Brazil gave the US all they could handle. Melo went down and the tide turned. http://www.suntimes.com/output/basketball/cst-spt-usa09.html I have friends telling me that the US should trump all, but I think they are looking strictly at names and star power. Disregarding that some of these Int'l squads are very well coached and prepared for what is a different game. IMO, the US got past PR and China strictly on talent. Without the benefit of NBA referees, the tougher Int'l squads will provide very stiff challenges.
So far Wade and LeBran do not appear to be giving very much. I would be very interested if not getting calls had something to do with it. Perhaps they are not as agressive knowing the bail out whistle will not be there.
My impression is the no one is playing a lot of minutes which may explain some of the difference. Actually playing end to end defense may be causing them to take it a bit easier on the offensive end too. I've looked some for box scores but they don't seem forthcoming so it's hard to tell what role each player has.
dba, Here is the complete schedule, with box scores and other info. http://www.usabasketball.com/seniormen/2006/06_mwc_training_schedule.html
Thx, numbers are good. Looks like Joe Johnson's 27 minutes against Brazil is the current high across all games, with 20-25 the norm for three or four guys and everyone else playing less. The Brazil game looks pretty ugly. Take away LBJ's 6 for 11 and the rest of the team shot 38%. Take away Hinrich's 8 for 8 from the line and everybody else managed 55%. And they got outrebounded 41 to 25, mostly by Varejao who pulled down 16. 21 turnovers is pretty ugly too. Course, they did pass through quite a few time zones not too long ago. Clearly Brazil is a much better team than either Puerto Rico or China, but they're not the tops. This thing isn't anywhere near guaranteed.
Scanning some of the articles at ESPN,etc.. There seems to be a lot of talk of "Is the US still dominate" or "Is the Gap closing" That gap closed a long time ago. Its almost gotten to the point of being dillusional. We did not win the Gold in the 04 Olympics, came in 3rd place instead and that was after scrambling in 03 to even make it after the 02 debacle. US is still set on playing by their own set of rules. But now we have to play by theirs. Some of the best pure shooters are foreign and most of the large Centers are as well. That gap closed 4-6 years ago. Ever since Stockton/Molone and Jordan stepped off the international circuit.
We all talk about the lack of shooters in the NBA and the impact that has had on the team in the international game. Max's post reminds me of something I saw last week that listed the players by Olympics. The last team to dominate, in '96, carried Olajuwon, Robinson, and O'Neil at the 5 spot. The first team to struggle in 2000 (but still won) only carried one center - Mourning. The 2004 team only lists Duncan as a center (which of course he is not). This year it is Stoudemire (now gone, and not a true center anyway), and Brad Miller. Talk about a major drop off in one position. Maybe the downfall of the true center should be grist for some analysis.
NBATV is showing a rerun of this USA-Brazil game tonight Friday (well actually Saturday in wee hours) 1:00-3:00 AM Eastern time. I know that's late, but not for us on Pacific time, it's 10 PM -12 AM. The games against Puerto Rico and China were such blowouts, I'm interested to see what happened against Brazil. I guess Anderson Varejo's game was real impressive. Maybe I was hasty to call him "a floppy haired bum" against us in the Cleveland series. I've made a decision that hating Wade and LeBron to the bottom of my heart is not going to serve me for the next decade of being a basketball fan. I'm hoping the hate will be somewhat neutralized if I can learn to tolerate them by rooting for the USA team. But then I hate Mike Kzchwhatever too. So it's a tough discipline tuning in to watch this team. The upside is getting to see some players I've never seen before: Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh. Chris Paul is the real deal. And it is fun to watch LeBron not get calls, and Wade to even get offensive fouls against him!
I know exacly what you mean. I have tried to like those 2 and almost liked Lebran at one point. Its tough to like them when they get all the calls. I am amazed how fans from other teams can like them as much as they do. Perhaps because most teams are not contenders.
Been saying that all the time. Superstars in the NBA always have the refs to bail them out. Penalties like palming the ball, travelling, etc. are not call in the NBA. NBA players get so used to this that when such calls are made, they will have a hard time adjusting.
I was watching the rerun of U.S. vs. Brazil game. It's the 4th quarter at a really critical point in the game -- U.S. and Brazil are trading baskets for the slim lead. LeBron puts up a major airball from dead center 3 pt line. Even better, he follows it up on the next U.S. possession by getting called for traveling on his drive to the basket (you know what drive I'm talking about, it's his signature 3 long step move). The play by play guy calls it the "NBA consecutive step hop." Hilarious! USA v. Lithuania exhibition game starts in half an hour. I hope to witness more of these displays of basketball prowess from LeBron/Wade. P.S. Anderson Varejao is a good player, versatile, passes well and can play all over the court not just under the basket. The Cavs are definitely underusing that guy. He was impressive.
aurora is loving NBATV! :D The Cavs are being very careful with how they negotiate with Drew Gooden, I believe due to the fact that Varajeo is viewed as the future starter at PF for the Cadavers.
I tried NBA tv hoping for a free period. Nope. Subscriptions only. ESPN has the usual garbage, HS baseball and whatnot. Too bad they did not spring for some pre-tourney games.
Separate names with a comma.

Installing 3/8" solid Brazilian Cherry
We have just purchased a house and will be installing a prefinished 3/8" brazilian cherry hardwood floor in the living room prior to moving in. We selected the Bellawood brand.
This is my first hardwood flooring install. I have laid laminate several times and found it very easy. I am confident I'll figure hardwood out, but I want to get as much info as possible before I start.
Since the neighboring room, the kitchen, has hardwood maple, I am going to attempt a hardwood maple 1 board width border 2-3 boards away from the wall around the room. To make it a bit easier I was going to basket weave the corners instead of 45's on the border and the exterior.
I plan on stapling or nailing the floor. I saw that most pneumatic floor nailers, however only adjust from 1/2" to 3/4". Is this because of nail depth through the tongue? Is there a different type pneumatic stapler/nailer I should look to rent/purchase to secure the 3/8" flooring that I've purchased?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Does the manufacturer recommend nailing this product?
Seems that it would be glued and not nailed as it is too thin for nails.
Bellawood website says to either glue or nail. I was thinking you can probably get a tighter seam nailing. I am looking for someone that has experience with the 3/8" hardwood solid flooring that can give me tips. Thanks
how did things turn out?
how did your hardwood floors turn out? I've run into the same situation with bellawood, and I'm planning on nailing 3/8 inch redwood floors. I'm still looking for a nailer
No instruction literature with the product?
I would follow the BR111 specs. They manufacture similar thickness solid flooring and recommend...see below
I stapled my Shaw brand 3/8" engineered hardwood with no problems. I went online to amazon.com and bought a Bostitch SX150-BHF-2 18 Gauge Hardwood Flooring Stapler. It worked great and cost about $100 than if you bought it at Lowes.
My floor turned out wonderful! I bought a specialty pneumatic flooring stapler for 5/16 and 3/8" flooring (i forget which brand) with the 45 degree base. It worked great. We took some pictures of our floor and sent them to LL because if you provide pics they will give you a free care kit. My brother-in-law is building a house and mentioned - I saw your floor on LL website. I have included the link if you would like to look.
My wife an I are very pleased with the quality and the look of the floor. Especially the installation :thumbup: We are probably going to do the next room with the same.

Managing illegal street racing and associated risky driving behaviour : An Australian perspective
Leal, Nerida L., Watson, Barry C., & Armstrong, Kerry A. (2010) Managing illegal street racing and associated risky driving behaviour : An Australian perspective. In Proceedings of the 20th Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Accepted Version
(PDF 176kB)
Illegal street racing has received increased attention in recent years from the media, governments and road safety professionals. At the same time, there has been a shift from treating illegal street racing as a public nuisance issue to a road safety problem in Australia, as this behaviour now attracts a penalty of increased periods of vehicle impoundment leading to permanent vehicle forfeiture for repeat offences. This severe vehicle sanction is typically applied to repeat drink driving offenders and drivers who breach suspensions and disqualifications in North American jurisdictions, but was first introduced in Australia to deal with illegal street racing and associated risky driving behaviours, grouped together under the label of 'hooning' in Australian jurisdictions. This paper describes how Australian jurisdictions are dealing with this issue. The research described in this paper drew on multiple data sources to explore illegal street racing and the management of this issue in Australia. First, the paper reviews the relevant legislation in each Australian state to describe the cross-jurisdictional similarities and differences in approaches. It also describes some results from focus group discussions and a quantitative online survey with drivers who self-report engaging in illegal street racing and associated behaviours in Queensland, Australia. It was found that approaches to dealing with illegal street racing and associated risky driving behaviours in each Australian state are similar, with increasing periods of vehicle impoundment (leading to vehicle forfeiture) applied to repeat hooning offences within prescribed periods. Participants in the focus groups and respondents to the questionnaire generally felt these penalty periods were severe, with perceptions of severity increasing with the length of the penalty period. It was concluded that there is a need for each jurisdiction to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of their vehicle impoundment and forfeiture programs for hooning. These evaluations should compare the relative costs of these programs (e.g., enforcement, unrecovered towing and storage fees, and court costs) to the observed benefits (e.g., reduction in target behaviours, reduction in community complaints, and reduction in the number and severity of associated crashes).

We just recently talked about the ColecoVision on Retronauts Pocket, but this time we talk about its competitor, the Intellivision, and it gets a full episode treatment! Mwahah! (Actually, no conspiracy here — it just worked out that way.)
Admittedly, we're not big Intellivision intelligentsia — I was the only one of the hosts who owned it, and 18 years after it was relevant. But we're here to appreciate, and that's what we do. As one of the first, biggest challengers to the Atari 2600's throne, the Intellivision came out in 1980 and was backed by Mattel's marketing strength, which led to games licensed on sports leagues or Dungeons & Dragons, and nabbing author George Plimpton as their original pitchman. And while Atari got the rights to a lot of arcade hits, some of them came to Intellivision thanks to the Atarisoft imprint — a peculiar part of history we discuss on its own. Altogether, the Intellivision was a formidable opponent, with a library well worth exploring (including homebrew!).
Crowdfunding backer (and therefore official Retronauts FunFriend™) Adam Heberling lent us this topic as part of his reward, so send an internet Thank You, and feel free to discuss your best Intellivision memories and impressions in the comments.
Find us on the iTunes Store and leave a nice review!

We're entering what we call the debate and choice phase of this campaign. And we're going to give the people of this country the right and opportunity to choose a different path.
We're offering very specific pro-growth plans to get us a dynamic pro-growth economy that fosters opportunity versus four more years of the same which means a stagnant economy that fosters government dependency.
You stick with the President's path or you choose the better future. Stagnation versus growth. Dependency versus upward mobility and opportunity.

The Biblical value of teams over individual efforts is described in resonant and simple terms in Ecclesiastes. It is especially interesting that, although someone who held a supreme hierarchical position, namely King Solomon, wrote this passage, he nonetheless saw the wisdom and value of teams even in his day. Even from his lofty throne he thought to include these insights and the model of the triple-braided cord in his volume of wisdom. Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. … [Read more...]

When Leaders Overestimate Themselves.
After years of serving in various roles as a leader and alongside other leaders, I have come to believe that the two most common mistakes made by leaders are overestimating themselves and underestimating their responsibilities to the people they serve. This dangerous combination all too often fuels the foolish behavior of overstepping or overreaching as a leader.Among the ranks of American presidents, some would say that George H.W. Bush overstepped when he said, "Read my lips…" and then created new taxes. Others would assert that Bill Clinton underestimated his responsibility when he lower … [Read more...]

Hi everyone! I'm Morgan Marshall, and having decided to do my very first author blog-in, it's time for me to write a bit about my children's post-apocalyptic science fiction novel, The Curious Cogs of Nil:
Eleven-year-old Trevor Tate doesn't want to follow in his jailbird, jerk of a dad's footsteps, but it's looking more and more like he has no choice. Everyone already thinks he's a bully because of his dad. And even worse, no matter how hard he tries, he can't control his temper so he just keeps proving them right. Trevor's mom is the only person in the world who believes in him, so when she's suddenly stolen away by a pair of freaky cybernetic men-in-black, he decides that he has to rescue her no matter what.
But when he follows the momnappers through a portal in the bathtub to the post-apocalyptic city of Nil…

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
You are correct, it is none of their business if you are dating or involved with anyone or not. You have already answered their questions and the fact that they continue to ask sounds like an issue they have with themselves and is not necessarily about you. Some people are uncomfortable with others being alone because they fear being alone themselves. So they keep asking hoping you will say you are involved so they can feel better. And other people are just interested in gossip. They will ask in a friendly manner hoping you will spill the beans about yourself and give them something to talk about.
The best way to cope with people continually asking you about your personal life is to find a response you are comfortable with then stick to it. Each time they ask you anything related to your love life, repeat your response verbatim and ad nausem. For example, the next time someone makes a comment about your personal life, say "Thank you for your interest, but I am fine." Repeat as necessary. Say it in a friendly but firm tone and smile if you want (to take the edge off). After a while, they may come to understand that they are prying and you are not interested in discussing your love life.
Let me know if I can help in any other way,

Top Qualities of a HR Manager
16 Feb
There is no tried and true system for finding the perfect human resources management professional. There's no perfect cookie-cutter to create the ideal HR manager. But the top HR staff members do tend to have a number of similar qualities.
It's like the old chicken and the egg conundrum. What came first? Did the duties of a job in HR form a workforce of people with top-notch personalities, or were these personality types drawn to careers in HR? Maybe we'll never know.
In many cases, here are some of the ways that a successful HR manager might identify him or herself.
1. As a motivator. They don't have to be overly peppy cheerleader types, but someone who is able to unite and inspire a workforce is a blessing for a company to have.
2. As a leader. Without someone with leadership qualities at the helm, the company won't go anywhere.
3. As a listener. HR managers need to be able to do more than hear. A good listener must be able to understand and evaluate when is being said.
4. As an innovator. Human resources requires a lot of flexibility, problem solving and quick thinking. Managers who can innovate and see things in a new, unique way are essential.
5. As a presenter. For some people, public speaking is more terrifying than jumping into shark-infested waters. But HR managers must be able to keep an audience engaged in order to deliver their messages.
This list is far from being comprehensive. What are some of the redeeming qualities you see in your HR manager? What traits are essential for HR professionals to have?

Hello all,
think this is the correct forum posted into. Before I start, forgive my thickness but, what does 'Indy' garage mean?
I've come across this garage that collects/delivers your vehicles and carries out manufacturer level servicing at a much lower cost.
They were also on Dragon's Den and appear to be growing very fast.
Has anyone on this forum used them and what was your experience like?
Were there any major drawbacks or issues you found?
Eager to hear any responses as I'm due for a service soon. This place would save me around £200 and give me the conveneince of not having to take time of work!
thanks all, regards

Well, it happened tonight at 8:30. Thanks-f'in-giving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's 14 degrees out and windy too.
I'm driving home from my brother's house. I've only got about 6 more miles to go in a 30 mile drive. Some old lady ran a red and hit me in the middle of the intersection.
THANK GOODNESS this was a slow street - only 25mph for both streets. Neither of us got hurt.
But she nailed my baby in the rear of the passenger side right on the axle. I spun around 180 degrees and then went up over the curb.
I didn't have my digital camera with me, but pretty much the rear quarterpanel, rear passenger, and front passenger doors are all FUBARed. I'm concerned that there may be significant suspension damage, considering where she hit me.
