Is a Corvair pitman arm the only pitman arm that fits Corvair box?
Hello. I just joined up to HotRodders.com. This is a great site and I have been learning stuff from you guys for years.
We are building a little hot rod pickup with a suicide front end. It has a reversed Corvair steering box that sits on top of the frame. I would like the pickup to steer sharper when turning left without the tire hitting the drag link. What we have is a Speedway pitman arm that has the offset. I'd like to have a straight pitman arm to move the drag link toward the frame. This would give us clearance from the tire and also make the hairpin more visible from the side. I'll make the steering arm match so that the drag link is parallel with the hairpins.
I would like to find a forged Corvair pitman arm. I assume that the arm will have the offset like the Speedway arm. Will I be able to heat and straighten it and then slow cool it or would it be better to cut my own arm out of steel and weld the Corvair splined end into a ring cut in the new arm?
My other question is are there other pitman arms that have the same splined end as the Corvair arm?
Thanks for any input

Everything Must Go To The Liquidators
With store chains dropping dead left and right, the past year in retailing has been as dismal as any in recent memory. Except, that is, for the industry's undertakers: the small and all-but-invisible clutch of companies that come in and liquidate leftover merchandise when a retailer shuts down or shrinks. Liquidators purchase the inventory, run the going-out-of-business (GOB) sale, and make a living on the difference. And retailing's plague year has been very good to them: In 1995, they disposed of an estimated $3 billion to $5 billion worth of goods, about double 1994 levels.
Now, as the financial consequences of the latest Christmas bust take hold, another rash of bankruptcy filings is almost certain. "The outlook for the liquidators in the next few years is pretty good, given that we still have several more years of consolidation ahead of us," says Thomas R. Rauh, national director of retail consulting at Ernst & Young.
BIG UNKNOWNS. A handful of major players, all privately held and scattered from New England to the West Coast, may be the biggest retailers no one has ever heard of. Gordon Brothers Partners, a Boston outfit, is operating 800 stores around the country, from Jamesway to Fayva. Schottenstein Professional Asset Management in Columbus, Ohio, will help close 362 outlets of Edison Brothers Stores and 198 of Petrie Stores by the end of the month. Even healthy retailers--or at least viable ones--have started calling in the liquidators to close selected stores as they cut back.
Why don't retailers just hang out their own sales banners and pocket the proceeds? For starters, liquidators pay cash for the inventory--a plus for strapped operators and their creditors--and take on all the risk. "We know what we're going to get going into the deal," says Kevin J. Kulinowski, vice-president for store operations at Jamesway Corp., who expects Gordon Brothers to close the last of the chain's outlets by mid-January. And for chains that are merely cutting back, bringing in an outside company to close stores frees management to focus on continuing operations.
Besides, running a GOB sale isn't as easy as just marking down prices. Liquidators have to have a shrewd eye for pricing merchandise. And since they take over operations during a GOB sale, they have to estimate expenses accurately--everything from payroll to phone bills to the big ad budgets needed to lure bargain hunters. A typical sale lasts 6 to 10 weeks, with markdowns starting at 20% and climbing as high as 90% in the final days. Gordon Brothers President Robert C. Sager calls his team the Green Berets of retail. "You drop them in somewhere, you give them a compass and a knife, and they have to survive," he says.
INCENTIVES. Indeed, these are not ideal selling conditions. To deal with store employees who will be out of a job when the sale ends, liquidators have to craft incentive plans to make it more profitable for staff to stay and work rather than quit or walk off with armloads of merchandise. Or worse. When W.T. Grant closed two decades ago, employees tried to block the GOB sale by emptying the cash registers. The money went into the bank, but the stores were unable to make change. And any miscalculation on what the merchandise is worth or how much traffic ads will generate can be fatal. Says David M. Bernstein, CEO of Bernstein Financial Group: "It's like having a party and worrying that nobody shows up." Or too many, for that matter. So great was the throng on the first day of the B. Altman sale in 1989 that Bernstein was forced to close the doors at 3 p.m.
Although the current retail climate has brought more opportunity, there's also more competition. That means liquidators are paying more to win jobs. And consumers, who can find half-price sales any day of the week in their local department stores, are growing inured to screaming GOB sale signs. "GOBs are losing their touch," says James L. Schaye, executive vice-president of Schottenstein. "We'll have to find something new." It may be getting harder to attract mourners, but the funerals won't be stopping any time soon.

Home / NEWS / UK Treasury sweetens bitter North Sea oil tax hike
UK Treasury sweetens bitter North Sea oil tax hikeby Patrick Osgood on Jul 5, 2011
Britain will increase the level of tax support for North Sea oil companies to help firms operating in smaller, less profitable oil fields.
The Treasury has announced that it will raise the annual rate of the Ring Fence Expenditure Supplement to 10% from 6%.
It also said it would continue to consult with oil companies on finding new categories of field allowance.
The move follows the surprise tax hike on North Sea oil profits announced in the Chancellor George Osborne's 2011 budget. North Sea oil and gas producers are facing an increase in the tax rate on their profits from 20% to 32% to offset lower fuel duty for motorists.
The hike prompted furious reaction from the industry. Mark Hanafin, director of Centrica Energy, told the Telegraph: "the North Sea is the second-largest oil-producing region in the world after Saudi Arabia. It's a national treasure for the UK. The government is utterly destroying that. I wish people would step up and say you just can't do this. Capital is leaving the country and going elsewhere".
There was also lukewarm, somewhat equivocal support for North Sea oil from senior members of international companies at a recent Commons Select Committee hearing.
The sweeteners follow talks with the industry in a government bid to prevent the hastening of premature disinvestment in the North Sea. As recently as 1999, the UK was producing as much oil as Kuwait. Oil revenue still raises the equivalent of 2p on the rate of UK income tax, and has been seen as an easy target for previous governments.
Kenneth McKellar, Middle East Energy & Resources Leader at international professional services firm Deloitte, speaking exclusively to Oil & Gas Middle East, said: "the UK, believe it or not, is one of the most volatile fiscal regimes in the world".
"I calculated that since North Sea oil was discovered, the fiscal regime for North Sea has changed every year [...] It's not the amount of tax that worries [oil companies] so much as how often changes occur during the period of a licence," McKellar said.
It is estimated that average costs of North Sea production are around $65 a barrel, which is set to increase as mature reservoirs deplete further.
"Today's change demonstrates our commitment to ensure current allowances work effectively and equitably and lays the groundwork for further constructive discussions on field allowances," said Treasury minister Justine Greening, in a Treasury statement.
In response, Statoil suspended $10 billion worth of projects off Britain, and utility Centrica said it had idled a gas field as profits had become marginal.
Statoil will now resume it's preliminary investment program, according to a Reuters report, before making a final decision on full investment later in the year. "With this announcement today, the negative tax impact has been neutralised," a Statoil spokesman told Reuters.
The Treasury said the new allowance would cost around 50 million pounds ($80 million) a year by fiscal year 2015/16, small beer compared to the estimated 10 billion pound ($16.1 billion) windfall from the 12% hike.
The supplement was introduced by the previous government in 2006 and currently allows companies to increase the value of losses they carry over from one period to the next by 6% for a maximum of six years.

BO 0200/S/82A/Z9 Ophthalmic Glasses
BO 0200/S is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of BO 0200/Sin our 2015, and 2016 Boss Orange range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. Round eyeglasses are extremely prestigious. A fact John Lennon was aware of, being rarely seen without them. Harry Potter would also not be the same without his characteristic eyeglasses. Due to its shape the BO 0200/S will be a long-time companion, because round eyeglasses never really go out of fashion. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The BO 0200/S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The colour blue is fresh and modern. Having the courage to choose such an exciting colour offers a new approach. Green glasses only slightly distort the colours. They are, therefore, well suited for driving and also for keeping a clear overview. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.

Hull Core Repairs, Post Blister Repairs
Best of luck with whatever way you go, but I gotta say that these posts provide an opportunity to harken back to numerous previous threads about the risks of cored construction in hulls. I''ve become a firm believer in all glass, and the idea of personnally patching a hull that will then take my family many miles from shore is quite a leap of faith.
Good luck.
Hull Core Repairs, Post Blister Repairs
I have just completed replacing approx 10 sq foot of balsa core in the bottom of a J36. I did the repair from the outside and started by removing the outer laminate and the rotted balsa core. The interior laminate showed holes from cabinetry screws, etc.
I did the repair as follows:
1. Wetted out the interior laminate and new balsa core with neat west system epoxy.
2. Prepared a mixture of resin and collodial silica to a thick consistency and then coated the interior laminate.
3. Allowed the squares of balsa core to open up over the edge of a table, and filled all of the joint lines (in both directions) with the thickened mixture.
4. Pressed the balsa core in place and was presently surprised in that it did not need any support even though it was a vertical surface.
5. Then proceeded to glass a new exterior laminate to the exterior of the balsa core.
By adding glass over the interior of your exterior laminate, i do not think your cores will line up properly and you run the risk of creating a hard spot. The thickened epoxy mixture will more than provide "insurance" against your exterior work as well as assure a good bond with the balsa core.
Hull Core Repairs, Post Blister Repairs
My Tartan Ten (hull #282, 1981) had a blister problem repaired before I bought her in May of 2004. She also had a core delam problem which I am now repairing. After removing the inner skin and affected core, some of the putty-filled blister repair holes on the now-exposed inside surface of the outer skin are visible. They show up as perfect white circles about 1/8" in diameter. In two cases they are missing altogether so you can see clear thru the hull.
I''m wondering what''s the best way to proceed when re-coring:
1. Glass over all affected areas with epoxy & glass fabric, essentially thickening the skin but ensuring no further mechanical separation of the putty.
2. Ignore it and lay new core above those areas.
3. Grind and fair from the outside the areas with blister repairs.
4. Grind from the inside and fill/fair with putty, then glass another surface in before applying core material.
As far as I can see, #1 would make most sense. Am I over-engineering this fix?

The Lakeland City Commission voted in a unanimous decision to give City Attorney Tim McCausland the approval to work with other agencies in creating the legal framework for an independent agency to oversee the future development of high speed rail.
McCausland will be working with Cities of Tampa and Orlando and their legal teams in creating an independent agency that would manage future development of the proposed high speed rail project. This independent oversight group would insulate taxpayers from any financial risk and divert the $2.4 billion in federal funding to a new entity such as a regional planning group.
McCausland said, "The idea is to have a plan that would allow private sector input from vendor operators and place any liability for the project on them."
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has created a Friday, Feb. 25th deadline to devise an alternative plan to create the Orlando-to-Tampa line after the announcement from Gov. Scott that he would not accept the federal funding for any high speed rail project in Florida.
In response to the Governor's announcement, the City of Tampa, the City of Orlando, and the City of Lakeland have helped "craft" the language for an Independent Regional Agency. The Central Florida Super Region continues to explore a "shared solution" when it comes to High Speed Rail for Florida.

De Regnaucourt
Tim De Regnaucourt of Rockford passed away on Thursday evening April 7, 2011, at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital as a result of injuries sustained in an accidental fall in his home last week. His parents, Otto and Anne (Kish) and his twin sisters Pam and Gail were there to greet him and help him start his new life.
Tim was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 24, 1942. His family moved to Rockford when Tim and his five siblings were children. They lived in the beautiful old farm on Belding Road across from Grass Lake, now known as Lake Bella Vista. Tim was in the class of 1960 at Rockford High School and went on to graduate from Western Michigan University with a business degree. He was a State Farm Insurance Agent for 46 years and made many friends from his years in business.
Tim loved the game of golf and played with a group of buddies several times a week. He was an accomplished horseman and taught the art of riding to his children. He always loved the smell of a horse barn!
He will be forever loved and missed by his wife, Jacquelyn; his three children from his first marriage, Todd De Regnaucourt of Florida, Becky (Bill) Veltema of Hudsonville, and Robert "Timmy"(Gen) DeRegnaucourt of Georgia. He also had two stepdaughters he helped raise, Rebekah (Dan) Brodowski of Rockford, and Anne (Judd) Meyer of Byron Center. His remaining siblings, Jane (Phil) Boettjer, residing in Florida, Judy (Fred) Freathy of Texas, and Jeff (Debbie) De Regnaucourt of Rockford will miss Tim but will have so many memories of their childhood together and the laughs and good times spent with him in his adulthood. Tim also leaves a brother-in-law, Steve (Lois) Suchowolec, who was married to Tim's sister Pam before her passing. He also has two sisters-in-law, Nancy (David) Schmidt from South Carolina and Sharon Seys of Grand Rapids, who will miss his jokes and hospitality at our Christmas and summer gatherings.
Tim and Jacque have 11 grandchildren and they will miss sitting on Grandpa's lap, "driving" the boat, learning how to mow the lawn with the proper mix of oil and gas in the mower, how to fish, and snuggle up on his lap to watch a movie. There are many aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins and so many others from this large amazing family that will feel an empty place in their hearts.
The family would like to thank the wonderful capable staff at Spectrum for their careful care and tender watchfulness, the amazing women, Joan Meyer, Sue Cadorette, Pat DeJong and Jamie Bailey, who have helped Tim for so many years at his State Farm office, our long-time neighbors who have always been there for us, and all of our friends who have blessed us with prayers and support. Tim will miss all of you and remember how you touched his life.
The Mass of the Christian Burial was on Wednesday, April 13 at Our Lady of Consolation Catholic Church in Rockford. Because it is the Lenten season, the family requests that no flowers be sent but suggest instead that any memorials that wish to be made go to the Equest Center for Therapeutic Riding, 3777 Rector NE, Rockford, MI 49341; Our Lady of Consolation, Education Endowment Fund, or Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary School Educational Fund.
Arrangements were made by Pederson Funeral Home, Rockford.
Mr. Robert "Bob" Platt, age 85, of Rockford went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, April 12, 2011. As a young man he accepted Christ as his Savior. Bob was a member of Grace Evangelical Free Church and was a trustee emeritus. He was a 1943 graduate of Rockford High School.
Bob had various jobs while in high school, and during the summers he worked for many area farmers. He and June (Bailey) were high school sweethearts, who began dating while in the 11th grade. They went bowling on their first date on January 21, 1942, with who would become their lifelong friends, Cliff and Lillian Atwood. After a loving courtship, they were married on November 10, 1944, at the old Rockford Baptist Church by Pastor Carl Wier. Bob worked at Burch Body, Morton Motor Sales, Rowden Ford, and then he opened his own business, Platt Auto Service. Later he became the transportation director for Rockford Public Schools. He set up bus routes, many of which are still used today. Bob then re-opened Platt Auto Service.
Bob enjoyed 24 years of retirement and took great pride in giving his grandchildren rides in his restored '40 Ford. He taught his children and grandchildren the value of family, work ethics, and mechanical skills. Bob also had a great dry sense of humor and was a true gentleman and protector. He enjoyed car races, boating and camping. Bob was a man who could not say "no."
His family would like to thank the caregivers of Renal Associates Inc. for the love, care and compassion given to Bob.
He is survived by his loving wife, June; children, Carolyn Salisbury of Greenville, Suzanne Dahlstedt of Rockford, and Robert "Bob" and Anna Platt of Sparta; grandchildren Dena (Brian) Shotko, Charles (Tracy) Salisbury, Brenda (Steve) Bolin, Jason (Rachel) Blakeslee, Julie (Jason) Hoek, and Brian Platt; great-grandchildren Alek, Blake, Noah, Abbey, Marley, Mallory, Alex, Lucas, Austin, and Tyler; brothers and sisters, Ted (Helen) Platt, David (Marla) Platt, Violet (Jim) Robinson; sisters-in-law, Mrs. Gordon (Irene) Nelson and Mrs. Helen Platt; brother-in-law, Charles Brantner; nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charley and Edith Platt; brothers, Howard and Alvin "Buck"; and sister, Jeanne Brantner.
The service for Mr. Platt was Saturday at noon at Grace Evangelical Church with Pastor Kevin Reed officiating. Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider Grace Evangelical Church, 4714 13 Mile Road, Rockford, MI 49341.
Arrangements were made by Pederson Funeral Home, Rockford.
Paul Peter McGavin, 82, an engineer, lover of nature, avid sailor, and active square dancer, was born and raised in Wilkes Barre, Pa. He received his undergraduate degree in industrial engineering from Lehigh University and his master's degree in industrial engineering from George Washington University. Mr. McGavin died peacefully on Friday, April 8, 2011, in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was the father of Laurie McGavin Bachmann of Ridgefield, Conn., Lynn Marie McIntosh of Rockford, and Paul H. McGavin of Petaluma, Calif., and was the former husband of Maya McGavin of Leola, Pa.
Mr. McGavin held management positions for several large corporations including Martin Marietta, Westinghouse, General Electric and Florida Power and Light. Ahead of his time, he was part of a team that pioneered groundbreaking recycling programs in the late 1970s for the state of Connecticut. He served as commissioner for Upper Saint Clair, Pa., a suburb of Pittsburgh. Mr. McGavin also served in the U.S. Navy in the Philippines.
Mr. McGavin worked hard and played hard, and loved swimming, bicycling, boating, camping, and all kinds of games. A devoted naturalist, he taught his children a love for the Great Outdoors—and how to tell a good joke. Humor was very important to him as were the current business and political events
of the day. We will all miss his intelligent, fun-loving ways.
Paul McGavin is survived by his three sisters, Mary George, Lenie Foley, and Betty McDonald; his three children; and five grandchildren, Kiera McGavin, Katie McIntosh, Maya Bachmann, Carole McIntosh, and Jenny McIntosh.
A Celebration of Life service will be held for the family this summer in Leola, Pa.

Thank you gardencurls i tried the almond conditioner i dont really care for it its too watery... Out of the mixed elements or the as i am which one do u recommend ...btw have either of you tried organix line?
*silk elements
Shea moisture product line has good conditioner and shampoo. I usually buy mine at target, cvs, or Walgreens.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using CurlTalk App
tenapaige, what's your hair like? Is it thick? Dry? Tight curls?
I can tell you inexpensive brands, but I don't know which formulations I could recommend. My hair is naturally very dry, and it's closer to "thick", than "medium-thick". A single application wash/rinse of my hair conditioner, on my hair, uses more product than some people probably use in a year. Plus, I use a leave-in conditioner and a curl cream.
I agree with other recommendations for the SheaMoisture line. I haven't used any of the shampoo or conditioner, but I use the moisturizer spray, the curl milk, and the smoothie, and they're great. I get my products at Target, and they're not too expensive. Target also has the Kinky Curly line. I love their products as well, but they come in tiny bottles and they're definitely more than $10.00 each. Still, Kinky Curly Knot Today, is a product that comes as close to perfection as anything I've ever come across. For my hair, it's truly amazing. Kinky Curly also has a clarifying shampoo that's excellent. I use it about once a month to once every two months.
I'm enjoying L'Oreal EverCreme Shampoo & Tresemme Naturals conditioner:)
@gardencurls I would say i have similar hair to you... Ihave botticelli curls somewhat dry hair,long, its finer at the roots and coarser at the middle/ends im working on getting a picture to u guys but im having trouble inserting my picture via iphone
I heard mane&tail is good but I have yet to try since I love Assusie but the mane&tail is good for protein
If you can find it in your area, Renpure is good. $5.99 each or thereabouts, and it goes on BOGO every so often. If your hair likes protein, there's the Brazilian Keratin line, and if it prefers moisture, the Luxurious Argan Oil is protein free.
Thankyou both... Now I have to figure out which out of all of these I want to use I've just started getting rid of all this hair product and Im not trying to go down that road again lol
I have been wanting to try Renpure's Cleansing Conditioners for a long time. I find my hair is definitely at its best when I use Cleansing Conditioners or Conditioner-only. It takes like a week to "get over" any clarifying or experimentation to which I subject my hair. I really should just gain some self-control.;-)
Have any of you tried them? (Not trying to hijack this thread...they can be recs for tenapaige as well)
tenapaige - it does sound like your hair is similar to mine, but mine is kind of thicker at the roots, because the ends are quite damaged. You may want to avoid lots of protein, and, depending upon your climate, lots of glycerin.
Now that the "canopy" on the top of my head is growing out of the mullet-like chop I performed on it (with sewing scissors, eek) over a year ago, it's starting to "triangle" a bit. And that top section of hair is still completely different from the hair on the rest of my head! It's like Barbie doll hair. I hate it.
I did try the Renpure cleansing conditioner (Ren) and didn't really care for it. I didn't think it cleansed or conditioned especially well. It also has amodimethicone, if that's a consideration for you (I'm modified CG, so I don't mind occasional cones).

@gardencurls teah I do protein treatments because i thought they were good for your hair and im still trying to figure out if i need it @corrina thanks for letting us know... I have bad luck with products they work well for everyone else but me lol
I just tried the Shea butter cashmare of V05 and it made my hair feel soft and it smells good.It was on sale at CVS/Longs!
Suave Naturals with Shea Butter! It's like 3$ and change. It's really good.

Here we have law enforcement endangering human lives for the sake of a chicken. The chickens were "rescued" and will be killed. What part of the big picture am I missing. Cockfighting is a sport. If a friendly wager is such a big problem lets stop the super bowl since much more gambling goes on during that game than all cock fights probably in a decade.
United States
#2 Feb 2, 2010
I don't think it's the wager that's the problem..They wanted to save all those poor tortured chickens for a great humanitarian purpose...They wanted to kill them nicely!
#3 Feb 3, 2010
Roosters are born to fight you dont give them drugs thats all propaganda from the animal terrorists.Then they euthanize them ,i mean they murder them without a fighting chance.Wheres all the bleeding hearts about our soldiers fighting and dying and there not a chicken. If a chicken doesnt want to fight a 1000 men cant make them.
#4 Feb 3, 2010
WTH? Why euthanize the innocent roosters? Euthanize the low life illegal trash instead. Do us all a favor.
United States
#5 Feb 3, 2010
How about rounding up the SOB's and putting them all in a pit with the roosters and let the roosters do what they've been taught to do!!! Wouldn't that be a hoot?
#6 Feb 3, 2010
How insensitive... What if they don't like "nacho" flavor?
United States
#8 Feb 3, 2010
Oh oh, I got a warning from the "nice police"....theamericanway , I think you made me be too rude and disgusting. It's all your fault.
#10 Feb 3, 2010
Hey! is that Chicken Friend or Chicken Fried ??? Pass the guacamole please....
#11 Feb 4, 2010
I was just thinking they tried to rescrue those poor rooster and those guys just kill them? what a funny joke what was the purposed of HSUS begging donations all over united states? I thought the money is use to help those animals they rescued , think even those guys are criminals too ,killing those poor animals they rescued is felony. our laws in US is getting better lol
#12 Feb 4, 2010
Poor roosters!
#13 Feb 4, 2010
Euthanised with 11 herbs and spices?
and Tennesee, It's only a sport if all parties involved know it's a game. If cockfighting is a sport, then so is rape.
United States
#14 Feb 4, 2010
MMM, finger licking good!

If you were one of the callous, clearly illiterate losers fighting chickens, you sir are the pathetic scum. They're getting euthanized over people's actions and not taking your share of responsibility just shows how clearly ignorant you are.

Once roosters are fought you can no longer put them with other chickens. They can't be rehabbed. Normal roosters can coexist together, until they've been taught/bred to fight. It is sad they are going to be euthanized through no fault of their own. It's a vicious cycle and I wish there were harsher penalties for the inhumane idiots who like to fight them.
United States
#18 Feb 8, 2010
Umm, have you ever had chickens? Even plain, old, run of the mill domestic roosters will fight one another. Rehab a chicken, now that's funny. I find fighthing any animal for the enjoyment of an audience is as base and inhumabe as it gets...but, don't open your mouth and fuel to the fire with inane, uninformed statements.

Ummm actually I have had chickens,I grew up around them on a farm. There were multiple roosters and they did fight sometimes but not to the death, it's entirely different. SO if we both agree on the subject what's up with the snarky comment, having a bad afternoon?

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Hitler's Nazi Germany was marked by a preoccupation with "animal rights." Hitler's Third Reich passed numerous animal protection laws, such as declaring that shoeing a horse was cruel, and declared an end to dissection. This reduced Mans status to that of animals, and justified treating men as animals. Before the war was ended, the Nazis stepped up experiments on the best way to castrate a Jew without anesthesia, and turned countless men, women and children into lampshades and soap. These Nazi actions were justifiable by their belief that it was possible to "...increase the moral standing of animals and decrease the moral standing of people, thus integrating human characteristics to animals... elevating animal life to the level of cult worship...which would lead to the spiritual and ideological changes necessary... for a new national identity."
The real political objective of animal rights is to eliminate "unalienable rights," and to make way for all these other supposed rights and pervert our Bill of Rights to the point where only the perverted are protected. A favored socialist strategy is to separate the population from common sense and its own laws by bringing about chaos, clouding real issues, then bring about change through gradual legislation from within. Ruling by planned crisis is the favored method, as this short-circuits the brains ability to think and reason clearly about true issues. This planned chaos (such as animal cruelty,puppy mills and cock fighting) is designed to rob the nation of its creativity and life force, degrade human existence, make everything seem uncontrollable and bad, which then allows the introduction of a tyrannical form of government.
The Gestapo was first used by Goring to do away with political opponents. A "temporary" state of emergency was declared after the Reichstag fire, but was never rescinded. This allowed the Gestapo to enforce conformity at every level of society. Block wardens monitored their neighbors, and children were recruited to inform on their teachers and parents. The Gestapo was authorized to hold people in "protective custody" which was really arbitrary arrest and imprisonment. At first, only political prisoners were taken under the guise of "preventive protective custody" and placed in SS-controlled concentration camps; later, anyone was hunted down and taken who was deemed to not fit in with SS and Gestapo vision of a perfect Aryan society.("SS" came from Schutzstaffel which means "elite guard").
Today we see this same conduct and set of circumstances appearing in some of our civic institutions. The only way for one man to achieve dominion and control over another is through the darkness of IGNORANCE. Lets get educated about our own laws, so that tyranny cannot gain a foothold in America, and so that we can once again have happiness and good government flowing forth as paraphrased by all our early education laws. We do have some beautiful laws. Lets learn them, and insist that our civic institutions obey them for the good of our nation. God Bless America.

Hi all I'm new to Colorado but not the forum or duck/goose hunting. I moved here last year from Western New York and don't know where to begin to look for places to hunt. I also don't know what hunting is like in the west. The hunting I did in NY consisted of cut agriculture fields (corn,soy,oats), hiding in cattails in swamps and the Niagara River (for divers and geese). In NY there was lots of water, public places and farmers that were happy to have you geese the geese. If anyone can fill me in on the basics of hunting the front range, public places, talking to farmers ect.
Because of the move I sold all my decoys so I also need to start purchasing new decoys. What kind of spreads are people using, size and kind of birds?
I appreciate any help people have to offer.

Long Eddy
Located in a remote section of the Upper Delaware River, the Long Eddy River Edges Preserve's vertical cliffs mark the boundary between Pennsylvania and New York, and represent one of The Nature Conservancy's most scenic preserves.
Emerging from the steep sandstone and shale slopes, a steady flow of groundwater nourishes a variety of plants. Ferns and lichens thrive in this acidic, rock-strewn setting, which also harbors rare miner's lettuce—a plant usually witnessed further west in the Rocky Mountains. A remnant patch of old-growth forest blanketed with vibrant wildflowers surrounds the cliffs with northern hardwoods, including sugar maple, beech and yellow birch.
In 1990, The Nature Conservancy acquired 122 acres to establish the Long Eddy River Edges preserve, and to monitor and protect one of the only known populations of miner's lettuce in the eastern United States. Soon after, conservation easements on an additional 566 acres—including 1.6 miles of river frontage—were secured to further safeguard this unique habitat.
While secluded, the Long Eddy River Edges Preserve requires assistance with maintaining its pristine surroundings. That's why The Nature Conservancy works with local conservation-minded landowners and organizations to protect this broad stretch of river, with its forested slopes and spectacular waterfalls, for future generations.
What You'll See/At Stake
An upslope dominated by a northern hardwood forest of sugar maple, beech and yellow birch, interspersed with black cherry, Canadian hemlock and eastern white pine. The lower half of the slope contains a northern hardwood-conifer forest comprised of Canadian hemlock, sugar maple, beech, basswood and striped maple. Wildflowers, including golden saxifrage and jack-in-the-pulpit. Osprey and bald eagle.
770 acres
Wayne County, 8 miles northeast of the village of Priceville, Pennsylvania.
Invasive species. Forest pests and pathogens.
Monitoring ecologically significant plants and animals.
Acquisition of 122 acres of land and an additional 566 acres in conservation easements in 1990.
Things to Do
The Long Eddy River Edges Preserve is not open to the public due to the fragile nature of the habitat. However, interested conservationists may view the site during a volunteer workday.

A decision regarding the Owen County Fire Department station two fund was put off for at least another month after a meeting of the Owen County Fiscal Court Jan. 25.
The court established an escrow account for the South Owen Fire Department's portion of the fire fee money after the department disbanded in late 2014. The money has been held in the account ever since.
Across the country, companies, schools and universities are putting an emphasis on STEM subjects of math, science and physics.
Owen County High School Teacher Rusty Willhoite has expanded student interest in STEM and engineering with the Vex Robotics program.

An alcohol ordinance relating to the sale of alcohol in the City of Gratz will soon come up for approval by the Owen County Fiscal Court.
In a recent meeting between Gratz Mayor Charles Redmon, Owen County Judge-Executive Casey Ellis and Owen County Attorney Josh Smith, the three agreed that due to the city's budget restraints the county would serve as alcohol administrator for Gratz.
A familiar face is back in Owenton.
Dr. Farooq Mirza, a general surgeon who spent 12 years at New Horizons Medical Center, recently began seeing patients at 155 W. Seminary St., known as the Northkey building.

January's Owen County Board of Education meeting began with a celebration to recognize members of the board for all their hard work and dedication to the school district.
The recognition kicked off as Owen County Judge-Executive Casey Ellis read a proclamation to establish January as School Board of Education Appreciation Month.
Owen County native Ashley Renae Smith is bringing a piece of the OC to the Nashville music scene with the release of her EP, "My Story." The EP is currently sold in local businesses and several Nashville hotspots and chronicles the beginning of her big-time music journey.
Smith's producer, Matthew Miller, writes and co-writes the lyrics, but collaborated with Ashley on the more personal songs of the EP, paying homage to her small town upbringing.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but I don't really believe anything topical can help hair grow faster. I think the rate of hair growth is governed by internal systems like hormones.
Just eat a really healthy diet with lots of protein - hair is made up of protein, and get rest.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
The Jamaican police say they have finally caught up with suspected drug lord Christopher "Dudus" Coke on the outskirts of Kingston according to the BBC.
Apparently Jamaican Police Commissioner Owen Ellington said in a statement that Mr Coke had been arrested by policemen "acting on intelligence" at 1600 (2100 GMT) on Tuesday at vehicle checkpoint along the Mandela Highway.
It is reported that Mr Coke was then taken to a nearby police station, where crowds quickly gathered as news spread of his capture. As the crowd swelled and also to hopefully avoid a repeat of scenes witnessed last month in Tivoli Gardens as police searched for Coke, a military helicopter was deployed to move him to an undisclosed secure location.
When arrested he was in the company of Rev Miller, who reportedly facilitated the surrender of Mr Coke's brother Leighton earlier this month. Rev Miller is reported to have said that Mr Coke had been on his way to the US embassy to hand himself in because he did not trust the police not to harm him and that he wanted to waive his right to an extradition hearing so that he could go to the US for a trial. The Jamaican authorities however are stressing that he was taken to a secure facility because the police did not want people to take the law into their own hands and try to take him out and that they are taking every step possible to ensure his safety and well-being while he is in their custody.
Legal proceedings are in progress and once the issue of legal representation is reached and an agreement with the director of public prosecutions is met court hearings will be held as soon as a date can be set. It is at present uncertain whether Mr Coke will face charges in Jamaica in connection with the deaths of two policemen and a soldier during last months troubles.

This toothpaste made me satisfied with the product
Recommend Product
ever since I stared using my dental hygienist has been giving me an atta boy. Too bad it took 55 years for me to find. Also this is my first review on anything. Just thought it needed saying.
Not the typical baking soda toothpaste! No overwhelming taste but very fresh. And little sandy which I like because it feels clean! Wonderful toothpaste and the peroxide helps whiten!
Not only does this toothpaste clean, whiten and give you fresh breath, but one day I was brushing my teeth and the toothpaste dropped off my toothbrush and I went to wipe it out of the sink and the rust in the sink came off. I have really hard water and I have a hard time tring to get the rust stains out of the tubs and sinks, that is until now, I could not believe that Crest toothpaste took rust out of both the tubs and sinks. I was a very happy woman that day:) Thank you Crest!!!!
I have been using this very toothpaste for over 5 years now and I ALWAYS get compliments on my smile and how white my teeth are. Every time I go to the dentist, they are amazed at how clean my teeth are. I have to give credit to Crest toothpaste & their great ProHealth mouthwash...I use both religiously and I have had nothing but fantastic results. Thanks Crest!
As I've stopped smoking, this toothpaste has helped with whitening my teeth. I always feel extra clean after with the baking soda. My gums have also felt better.

On July 15th Tom Brady announced to the world he would no longer seek legal action in the infamous "Deflategate" scandal, thus ending the longest, and quite possibly the most ridiculous sports story ever, that was endlessly talked about for the better part of a year and a half. At that moment, it became clear Brady would accept his four game suspension, and put an end to his 14 year starting streak in the process. The man who has grown from hidden-gem to living legend had to hand the reigns over to Jimmy Garopplo, the unproven yet highly touted backup, therefore creating quite the interesting scenario for the QB from Eastern Illinois.

Marin Headlands Loop Trail- Coastal Trail, Miwok Trail, Bonita Lighthouse is a 7.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Sausalito, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
kid friendly
nature trips
road biking
scenic driving
trail running
whitewater kayaking
wild flowers
Headlands host beauty and history of San Francisco Bay Area The Marin Headlands are intoxicating and sobering. The hills north of San Francisco are peppered with relics of America's wars, so in the same afternoon you might see wonderful examples of waves crashing amid grim reminders of nations clashing. The Headlands are a section of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, managed by the U.S. Park Service. Because the San Francisco Bay is essential to West Cost commerce, the narrow entrance to the bay spanned by the Golden Gate bridge has been, historically, armed to the teeth. Things reached a lethal peak During the Cold War era, when nuclear-tipped Nike anti-aircraft missiles were installed at the Headlands. These and a host of decaying gun emplacements are out of commission, but history buffs can tour them all. There's far more for nature buffs, though: breakers on the beaches, eye-popping vistas from the cliffs, explosions of wildflowers in spring, seasonal migrations of raptors and other avians, miles of trails for hikers, and twisting, challenging hills for road cyclists. Finally, it's a shutterbug's delight: jagged coastline and pervasive fog create unforgettable images that practically take themselves -- just about any camera can yield picture-postcard results.
Brynn M.
Great first 4 miles- beautiful views. Last 3 mile leg of this route is a little ridiculous. There really isn't a trail all the way through and you will be walking through a lot of parking lots. At one point you are walking through the YMCA property grounds and playgrounds just to stay on track- really bizarre ending to the hike.
Great trail with magnificent views. Off leash option was definitely a bonus for Bella

Take the long way around up the right hand side if Gerbode. Easier grade

Body Jet Overview
Body Jet liposuction is a water-assisted liposuction (WAL) technique, and is sometimes referred to as Water Jet Liposuction. (AquaLipo is a liposuction technique that combines Body Jet with laser liposuction, such as SmartLipo.)
- The use of water pressure to remove your body fat has caught the attention of people looking for alternatives to invasive liposuction surgery or laser liposuction, with the same results. However, Body Jet technology uses the same types of cannulas and infiltration fluid that plastic surgeons have used in liposuction for nearly 30 years.
- The unique aspect of Body Jet is that the technique superhydrates the tissues with the fluid, separating the fat with fluid. The fat is still avulsed from its location, perhaps just a bit easier.
- As pointed out by Dr. Jeffrey Kenkel, a nationally-recognized expert in liposuction, the before and after results for liposuction (traditional, ultrasound, laser, VASER or Body Jet) are primarily dependent on the experience and talent of the operating surgeon, not the instrument used.

hey guys this is my first write up for this forum, i dont know if anyone has done this before.. or have already made a thread about this....so i hope this help people. well i was bored today before the 4th of july BBQ and I felt like doing something to my car... i figured i should modify the stock intake system to get more air flow and dissipate heat... Las Vegas is a hot place... so with that said, keep all negative comments to yourself please.
i wanted to utilize the duct on the fog light covers i had. i figured using an old intake pipe, i could recreate the csl snorkle.
first off i cut the pipe to make fit in the duct,
secondly i cut a hole in the bottom corner of the stock air box.
and then i put the pipe thru the hole.
then re-assembled everything.. it was a total of 15 minutes of work. and 20 mins just to find the damn intake pipe in my garage lol
here are some pictures.
don't mind the fact i don't have a grill installed in the bumper.. stupid dealer gave me an mtech II grill rather than an m3, so i am waiting for the other grill to come in.
dont worry... i did put an intake filter in the box, i just didnt take the pic of it just so you can see it without the filter.
there was a better acceleration, and i hope this will better my gas mileage.
in the future i will loose the stock filter and integrate a knn cone filter inside of it, i already have the plans written out.

Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven
Thought seeing as the new redesign is live, could this be a feature that might be added?
D'oh, fixing that support page shortly!
Ah, Great!
I'm loving it so far
The support page isn't working, http://themeforest.net/support – getting a 404
prob reported, but not reading through 17 pages to check
Stayed up late and all to see it
I'll hang around for 30 mins, otherwise i'll look in the morning
It's best you contact Envato Support on this matter:
Great Work, and Well Deserved I May Add.
You'll be the next digitalscience or triworks, but for Themeforest!
Well, Stick in $30. It won't hurt, and you can spend $5 on a neat PHP script, music, graphics and more.
I've developed my own 'mashup' css framework in which i can plug in different sections to expand where neccessary.
It includes things such as layouts, colours, a reset, etc.
It's fairly lightweight, and combines 960.gs, Blueprint, Erics reset, etc.
It's always fun, and good to create your own – as you learn from it, and also you can use it in your projects too.
Yeah, I guess it's more cluster than cloud.
But, It was just a thought.
I heard along with the redesign, the pages will be a lot more optimized aswell.

Ouch! A bit worse than misleading if you design a circuit board to the data sheet (says 2mm instead of 2.54mm or 0.1").
Thomas Liu - if you read this, can you fix the data sheet?

A Talk With Helmut Kohl's Heir Apparent
German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who faces parliamentary elections next Sept. 27, is trailing Socialist opponent Gerhard Schroder badly in the polls. One taken in mid-March by Der Speigel magazine shows Schroder's Social Democratic Party (SPD) leading Kohl's Christian Democrats 41% to 35%. If Schroder formed a coalition with the Green Party, as expected, their combined 48% of the vote would give them a majority in Parliament.
Kohl, however, has made a career of losing in the polls but winning in the elections. To find out the latest campaign thinking, Frankfurt Bureau Chief Thane Peterson talked with Wolfgang Schauble, the Christian Democrats' No.2 and Kohl's heir apparent, in his Bonn office on Mar. 31.
Q: There has been speculation that Kohl will step down and you will take over as leader. Is that likely?
A: No. I support Mr. Kohl and we work very well together. The SPD would like us to raise a debate on that, but we won't do it.
Q: It's also said that the Socialists and Christian Demo-crats may form a "Grand Coalition" government.
A: A Grand Coalition isn't very likely.... It's a theoretical possibility. But we don't want it and the Socialists don't want it.
Q: You have been confined to a wheelchair since an attempt on your life in 1990. Would that affect your chances of becoming Chancellor?
A: I'm not running for Chancellor. If I were to run, it would be an issue. That's quite natural.
Q: Do you feel physically fit to serve as Chancellor?
A: I feel very fit to serve in my current job as chairman of the Christian Democratic faction in Parliament.
Q: What will your main policy initiatives be if the Christian Democrats remain in office?
A: Tax reform. We have a double system of income tax and corporate income tax. Some 80% of German companies have to pay income tax, not corporate tax. So both need to be changed.
Q: And you believe there will be a real chance of doing that with the SPD still controlling the Senate?
A: Yes, because we will focus our election campaign on that question. And if the voters pick us in the election, they will be indirectly expressing that they want the tax reform. The Bundesrat [Senate] will have to agree to it.
Q: What other initiatives will you take?
A: We will continue to put pressure on industry and trade unions for moderate wage increases. We will take another step in pension reform--the increase in pension payments will be slowed down. [Overall] we will reduce the public share of GDP to 48% this year, 3% lower than three years ago. We started in 1982 with 51% and achieved 45.7% in 1989. But after reunification it went up to 51%. We will lower it to 46% by 2,000.
Q: What would it mean for business if the SPD came to government?
A: Mr. Schroder says that they will modernize Germany. But the Social Democrats...say they will take back all the reforms we have made, like pension reform and higher [private contributions] to health insurance. They also want to reinstall the property tax, which we cancelled. So we say the Social-Democrats want to go backward.
Q: Who do you think will set policy if the SPD wins, Schroder or left-leaning party chief Oskar Lafontaine?
A: Lafontaine has more substance. Schroder just wants to win the election. After the election, Lafontaine will decide about the substance of policy. It will be to the left.
Q: Would it affect European Monetary Union if Schroder were elected?
A: No. The SPD approves of EMU, too. But the position of Germany within the union would be less strong because the SPD would have a less successful economic policy than we would. Most people think Mr. Kohl would be a better leader for EMU.
Q: Will EMU lead to more political unity in Europe?
A: Today the French are French, the Germans are German, and the British are very British. But having a common currency will give people much more of a feeling of being European. That creates the basis for more political unity.

Space Guy and Mr. Roboto
An attempt at taking a doodle a little further along the path towards an actual composition. Not quite there yet.
This was also an experiment in abandoning my usual process of sketching, drawing over in felt marker and then erasing the original pencil lines. For this one I kept my sketch very light and minimal and then emphasized the lines that I wanted to keep. There is still a lot of line-noise and garbage but I like the roughness and personality that a pencil line has over the "over-corrected" magic marker lines. The next step in this process is to try out a light box and see how that alters the rules.
Now that I look at this again, I see an unintentional FUTURAMA vibe to the character's face and even a little in the backdrop. Oh well...

How did you choose your present profession?
I have realized, as I look back on that part of my life that I have already lived, that I have never chosen a profession. I have always, somewhat impractically, had some passion and tried to build a life around it. My initial passion was wondering how life got here and gets here (renews itself) with each generation. I guess this was my "questioning origins" phase. This passion carried me through undergraduate and graduate school. Actually, if I look back at my undergrad majors, zoology and classical studies, they both addressed origins: the origin of life and the origins of the kind of thought I was using to investigate beginnings: scientific reasoning.
I think what happened next was that after studying biological origins I began to feel more than ever the awesome, complex wonder of the unfolding of biodiversity and the "value" of things so long and convoluted in the making. My love of the generative processes was translated into a love of the products of those processes. My passion's focus shifted. Instead of continuing to study the processes, it became more important to defend the "products" of the generative processes.
Not surprisingly, one of my modes of trying to impress others of the value of all life is to share with them the processes that have created it and to help them view each living organism as the triumph with an enrapturing history that it really is. I don't think, however, that this is the most successful way to help most people recognize the value of a life; the best way to do that is to let them experience the organism (or the ecosystem) first hand, to have it appeal to their evolutionary instincts as awe, respect, fear, beauty..., which have arisen out of our own formative processes.
You can tell someone of the origins and evolution of the great cats or you can have them look into the eye of the tiger. Both methods work, the latter, thanks to history, requires no time in the classroom.
So in summary, as my passions changed from a love for the processes that create life to a love of the life that results, so my career went from an investigator of processes that produce variety to a teacher and sharer of the value of variety.
What would you recommend for students wanting to pursue a similar career?
If you don't have extreme passion for the "environment," do not make it a life profession. It can be a downer. There is a lot of depressing information, ignorance, denial, finger-pointing, politics and economics which often lead to choices that don't favor all species and ecosystems. This is not a profession for the non-committed!
But, if you are optimistic, believe it's a most meaningful pursuit, don't mind being part of a "movement," enjoy complex challenges and respect the many different systems for valuing nature that exist in the world, go for it!
What do you like best about your profession?
I feel that being an environmental educator/scientist is extremely necessary today. I feel I have a meaningful life because I am part of an effort to do something that I believe is UNIVERSALLY good -- not just good for certain people or my family or community, but good for us all -- and that includes all life forms.
My career deals with real world, real important issues. I sleep very well at night knowing that I am trying to make a positive difference and less well knowing that bringing about real change never occurs at a rate that satisfies or seems ample. If I do research, it will always be applied. I have only so many heartbeats left and I want them to go towards ameliorating the negative changes brought about by our actions. I know this sounds extreme, but I am a person of high intensity -- sort of like a Klingon -- so I will pursue whatever it is I pursue with big effort. I have chosen that which I think is most pressing and most undeniably for the Universal Good.
What web sites and references would you recommend for viewers interested in your work that was featured in The Shape of Life series?
Oh dear! I know the Waikiki Aquarium is having a The Shape of Life theme this Spring (2002) and I and others will be giving talks. I also have one publication that I really like about the evolution of an anterior end... a head.
Evolution 48(4):1130-1146. 1994.
Beyond that my life has taken such a turn from just (the WONDERFUL) echinoderms to bigger, hairier issues that my other publications are about population genetics, albatrosses, etc! I think I provide a good example of a person with a flowing career!

The leader of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Uganda joined other faith representatives in the country and heads of the European Union last week to spur "free, fair and peaceful" elections in the central African nation next month.
The event joins a string of such meetings -- with the country's Electoral Commission, presidential candidates and members of the international community -- meant to shield Uganda from an election potentially beset by fraud and followed by political unrest.
Violence in the wake of contested elections has plagued several neighboring countries in recent years.
"We don't want to see what is happening in Ivory Coast or what happened in Kenya happen here," Joshua Kitakule, secretary-general of the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda, told AllAfrica News.
Reports indicate a disputed presidential election in Ivory Coast may plunge the country into civil war. At least 25,000 Ivoirians have already fled to neighboring Liberia, fearing possible violence, the Associated Press reported last week.
Kenyans endured widespread violence and unrest following 2007 contested elections, crippling the country's economy and igniting ethnic tensions.
"We hope and pray that our efforts will, along with those of many others, yield peace [in Uganda]," said John Kakembo, president of the Adventist Church in Uganda.
There are some 200,000 Adventists in the nation of 33.4 million.
Kakembo said meetings with presidential candidates, which focused on safeguarding the credibility of the electoral process and media coverage of voting, among other things, were largely well received.
While "very receptive" to the council's efforts, the individuals and groups with whom they met expressed frustration over what they perceive as a fundamentally flawed electoral system, Kakembo said.
The council plans to secure meetings with the heads of Uganda's security agencies and the incumbent president next, he said. Council members have also met for a parliamentary prayer session.
Kakembo is among other church leaders in African countries seeking to achieve fairness in the electoral process. Recently, when elections scheduled on Saturday threatened to marginalize the Adventist community in Zambia, church leaders there -- including an Adventist member of parliament -- were instrumental in changing the day of the vote.
Adventists in Nigeria hope their efforts are equally successful. There, the Adventist Church is poised to take legal action unless the government agrees not to hold 2011 general elections on Saturday, Bassey Udoh, secretary of the church there, told Vangaurd News. Adventists have been shut out of elections for several election cycles, the report said.
Citing Adventist contributions to Nigerian society in the areas of education and health, Udoh said the 270,000 church members in the country are valuable citizens who "should not be disenfranchised."
