I carry either Hydra-Shoks or Gold Dots in my P3AT. Despite the "marginal penetration" some scribes go on about, I put a 1/2" plank in the front seat of a car someone donated to our firing range. I then fired a round through the windshield. It went thru the windshield, thru the wood, thru the seat, and somewhere into the backseat. All that from a Kel-Tec P3AT. I've gotten those results and similar with the above rounds and even Wichester "white box" FMJ flat points (that seem a wee bit less stout to me).
I don't worry overmuch about "marginal" rounds when the "experts" start going on about minimal requirements. We've had four people shot with .25 ACP here ... all 4 were one shot stops, 3 were "DRT" (one was a suicide, but he dropped and died immediately from a temple hit). I keep hearing about .380, .32, et al. being ineffective, but I've never seen much hard data to prove that a .40 through the heart makes one any more dead or dead any faster than a .22, .32, etc. in the same spot. A lot of people find the smaller calibers much less intimidating and easier to shoot well.
That said, I do not generally advocate arming novices with .380s, particularly if they are of smaller build. I don't know about your daughter, but if she's at all petite you might want to consider that if the .380 in question is a fixed barrel design, it's going to kick at least as hard (probably harder) than an ultra compact 9x19mm. Those that have already mentioned arming her with what she's comfortable with are spot on. If, however, you or she have already gotten the .380 and she's content with it, there's certainly nothing WRONG with it, IMHO. I recommend against FMJs in an apartment setting. I'm fond of Gold Dots, Hydra-Shoks, and the 102 gr Golden Sabres, in about that order, assuming they are reliable in whatever weapon she's going to have.
Every .380 I've had (2 Bersa Thunders, a Walther PP, and a HiPoint CF380) I kept Speer Gold Dots loaded.
In an apartment (or even a house) a .380 will go through the walls. You may be able to find some sort of snake shot somewhere, but I've only seen that in revolver only calibers.

FWIW, when the experts are Fackler and Roberts, I pay attention. There are a lot of internet cowboys who play experts, but when I find real ones who are up front with us, I listen and invite anyone to search them out and check out their spiel...

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey everyone! I'm new to posting on the boards.
Last year when I was reading Nicole J. Georges' Invincible Summer Anthology, she had a part about working with Senior Citizens and teaching them how to make workshops.
I know the IPRC out of Portland does zine workshops with senior citizens on a regular basis and I was wondering if anyone else knew of any other organizations that do the same thing…

Israel kills 10 Palestinian militants in Gaza strikes
Israeli air strikes killed 10 militants in the Gaza Strip on Friday and Palestinian gunmen fired more than two dozen rockets at the Jewish state, officials said, in the worst violent flareup along the restive frontier in months.
The violence escalated after Israel blew up a car in Gaza City, killing two militant leaders, shortly after two rockets were fired at Israel from the coastal Hamas-ruled territory, officials said. The rockets caused no damage or injury.
Separate air strikes, launched after darkness fell, killed eight more militants in Gaza, Hamas Islamist officials in Gaza said. Israel confirmed launching three air strikes in all.
Hamas, an Iranian-backed Islamist group that refuses to recognise Israel, seized control of Gaza from Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement in a bloody 2007 coup, two years after Israel pulled its forces from the territory it had captured in a 1967 war.
The Israeli military said its first air strike killed Zuheir al-Qessi, who Palestinians said headed the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), an umbrella group of armed activists from different factions. It named the other militant leader killed in that strike as Mahmoud al-Hanani.
Qessi's death brought a swift call for retaliation from the PRC, with several militant groups claiming they fired rockets at Israel.
The eight other militants killed in ensuing air strikes, some of which Israel said it launched to thwart rocket attacks, were from the Islamic Jihad group.
Gaza militants fired 30 rockets at Israel, injuring three civilians, one of them seriously, and five other rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron-Dome anti-missile system, a military spokeswoman said.
The death toll in Gaza was the worst since an incident in which five were killed late in October, reigniting tensions along a testy frontier and sparking fears of an escalation in violence in a region also bordering on Egypt.
Some analysts saw the flareup as an attempt by Israel to prevent Gaza militants from using Egypt's Sinai desert as a staging area for attacks. Unlike the fortified Israel-Gaza frontier, Egypt's border with Israel is more penetrable.
The army said Qessi, the most senior militant leader targeted on Friday, had been planning an attack on Israel across the Egyptian border in the coming days, suggesting that the strike had been ordered to stop the planned assault.
Israel also accused Qessi of helping to plan attacks along its border with Egypt that killed seven Israelis last year. The PRC has denied involvement in that attack.
Qessi was elected chief of the PRC last August after Israel killed his predecessor in an air strike in the southern Gazan town of Rafah.
After Qessi was killed, Gaza militants vowed to retaliate for Israel's attacks.
All options are open before the fighters to respond to this despicable crime. The assassination of our chief will not end our resistance, Abu Attiya, a spokesman for the PRC group said.
Fawzi Barhoum, spokesman for the Hamas Islamist government in Gaza, held Israel responsible for what he called a grave escalation.
The last lethal Israeli strike in Gaza was in mid-January when two Palestinians were killed in attacks Israel said targeted a squad planting bombs at the border fence.

The Paducah Dome Pavilion at 600 N. Sixth St. has served its intended purpose and won't be relocated, Paducah officials said Tuesday.
According to Steve Doolittle, executive director of the Paducah Riverfront Development Authority, the city has no plans to build a new concrete pad for the dome in another location.
"The intended use (for the dome) was to be temporary," he said. "We have no specified use for it now."
The city bought the 37,800 square-foot dome for $825,250 in December 2009 because vendors at the yearly American Quilter's Society Quilt Week needed additional space after the former convention center hotel, the Executive Inn, closed in 2008.
"Inside the Executive Inn, which was a 75,000 square foot building, there were vendors set up in the pool area and everywhere," Doolittle said.
Including concrete, other materials and construction of the pavilion base adjacent to the Julian Carroll Convention Center, the total project was estimated at $1.6 million.
The dome, commonly referred to as the bubble, was inflated for the April 2010 quilt show and every year following. Doolittle said it served as a temporary replacement for the loss of space in the Executive Inn, which was demolished in 2010 and 2011.
However, designs for the new downtown hotel, he said, were not made with quilt show vendor space in mind.
"This hotel is not designed for vendors at all," Doolittle said. "We want all convention center activity to be inside the convention center."
A Hilton Garden Inn will be built on the site of the Dome Pavilion and attached to the convention center via a pedestrian bridge.
Senate Hospitality, one of the project's partners, will operate the hotel and manage the convention center. Negotiations between Senate Hospitality and the Paducah-McCracken County Convention Center Corporation for an operating agreement are ongoing.
Developers say they expect to break ground on the new hotel this fall and construction will be finished in the second half of 2015.
Because the Hilton Garden Inn will be in its final stages of construction during the 2015 AQS QuiltWeek, the city will need to consider options to offset the loss of space from the dome area. Mayor Gayle Kaler said the most likely alternative is to use the showroom and other space at the convention center.
"We've made a commitment to the quilt show and the organizers of the quilt show that we will have space available to them," Kaler said, "and we have to live up to our commitments."
The showroom has been gutted but renovations have not begun.
While the city did talk about using the dome again in a new location as part of its Renaissance Area Master Plan (RAMP), Doolittle said officials have not pursued it with design plans.
"We decided that is not the direction we are going," he explained.
According to Mark Thompson, parks services director, the dome and its related equipment are currently being stored and eventually will be sold by its manufacturer, Arizon Structures of St. Louis.
Thompson said the city did not have a price set on the dome, but hopes to receive some offers.

Are you a wise manager?
by PASTOR DAVE FERNLUND
Algoma Baptist Church
In Luke 19, Jesus tells a parable of a man of noble birth who was leaving on a trip. Before he left, he called his servants together and gave them each some money to put to work in his absence.
When he returned he asked them what they had done with his money. He wanted to know what they had gained with it. Those who multiplied the money were rewarded. One servant who had done nothing with what he was given had it taken away from him.
Each of these men were called on by his master to be a wise manager of his money.
How wise are we in handling the finances that our master has give to us? God has given to us the money that we have. He has entrusted it to us for this lifetime, and he expects us to invest it wisely for his purposes. In fact, the Bible says he will bless us if we do this.
Will we invest our money wisely? Will we demonstrate contentment in the way we use credit? Will we live according to our wage? Will we focus on our needs and not the limits of how much we can get? Will we understand that happiness and security come from God and not from money? Are you a wise manager?

Mumbai: Katrina Kaif is involved in several projects at the moment, one more exciting than other, in both her personal and professional life. After all the rumors revolving around her and her boyfriend, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina has simply had enough of them all. She feels frustrated, as she stated herself, about the wrong news leaking to the press about her relationship with Ranbir.
The actress stated one shocking thing about the other night during the award function. Apparently, Katrina did not kiss Ranbir that night, but Imran Khan. She blew the kiss to her "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" co-star, but that the direction was miscalculated. She also added that she was amused by Imran, who did a great job on stage.
Katrina is fed up will the rumors, considering than none of them have any solid evidence to back them up. Every article about her love life and alleged affairs is simply disturbing, and she cannot deal with any of them any longer. Not even one photograph stands at the base of the rumors that are going on about her personal life.

Professional capabilities for twenty-first century creative careers : lessons from outstandingly successful Australian artists and designers
Bridgstock, Ruth S. (2013) Professional capabilities for twenty-first century creative careers : lessons from outstandingly successful Australian artists and designers. The International Journal of Art and Design Education, 32(2), pp. 176-189.

Artists and designers are positioned at the centre of the 21st century creative economy. In order to recognise and make the most of the opportunities afforded by this new era, artists and designers still require the creativity, disciplinary depth of knowledge, and technical skills traditionally possessed by professionals in these fields – skills which are a core strength of higher and further art and design education. However, they may also require a range of other, '21st century' creative capabilities which are harder to define, teach for and assess, and are not the focus of traditional art and design pedagogies. This article draws upon the findings of nine in-depth interviews with award-winning Australian artists and designers about their careers and working practices, along with recent international research about the characteristics of the 21st century creative career, in order to highlight the importance of certain professional capabilities for art and design. It discusses the implications of these findings for art and design educators in universities, and curricular and pedagogic considerations associated with embedding these capabilities into undergraduate courses.

Trailer hub-and-drum assembly fits 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb axles with spindles that require a 2-1/8" or 2-1/4" ID grease seal. Bearings, seal and grease cap sold separately.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Today, we're going to take a quick look at Dexter Axles, Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, part number 42656. This hub and drum is designed to work with 5200-pound and 6000-pound axles. Basically, any spindle that requires a 2-1/8 or 2-1/4 inter-diameter grease seal. Its got a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. There are six studs and if we're able to accurately measure from the center of one stud directly across to the center of the other, we'd get 5-1/2 inches. The races are included and they're already pressed inside where they need to be.
You will need to add bearings. Inner bearing part number is 25580. Outer bearing is 15123 or you can simply use the bearing kit, part number BK3-100 or BK3-110 according to the seal dimensions that you need to use with your spindle. This drum has a gross capacity of 3000 pounds. So when you pair it up with another drum with the same part number, you'd have your 6000-pound capacity.
Now, we'll flip it over and take a look inside the drum. We'll take our depth here and we'll get about 2-1/4 inches. Go across the diameter inside and we get 12 inches, which means that this drum is set up for use with 12-inch by 2-inch brake assemblies. And that's it for our quick look at Dexter Axles, Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, part number 42656.
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (15 Customer Reviews)Trailer hub-and-drum assembly fits 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb axles with spindles that require a 2-1/8" or 2-1/4" ID grease seal. Bearings, seal and grease cap sold separately.

The product is excellent — I boutght the four drums to go with the four new brake kits that I bought from you. But the seal/bearing instructions indicate that you can order either kit. So, I picked the one that seemed to have the outside washer included. Unfortunately, the kit I selected had 2 1/8" ID seals and I need 2 1/4" seals. Now I have to go out and buy new seals, which are much more expensive locally. The fault is partially mine for not locating and reading the "fine print". But etrailer could be helpful by saying in its instructions, "Select the kit that corresponds to your required seal dimensions." 9374

Quick service Ordered on Tuesday, Received my hubs, bearings and seals on Monday after the New Years weekend . Parts were shipped the next day after a late night order. Good service, parts were what i ordered with Free Shipping.. Most Excellent !!! Randy 4970
by: Randy G12/04/2014
The only bad thing I can say is I found it difficult to make sure u was getting the right bearing. I would figure since bearings are not included when u click on the hub they would have what bearings fit come up under the hub. Again very fast shipping 163326
by: Pete F.03/14/2016
All parts fit fine and solved my braking problems. I do feel that the rubber plugs that cover the adjusting slot on the backing plate should be included in the charge for the backing plate. Etrailer was very receptive to questions I had. 240718

This is so simple it's borderline between a list of ingredients and a recipe , yet ingredients, when they are good, the simpler the better, right? Seasonal is exactly the way I like produce and ideally the only way to eat it, but still they're a far cry from what I remember eating growing up – somewhere between grabbing directly from the fruit trees in my family's farm or even the sidewalk, where trees heavy with tangerines, kumquats and Japanese plums were assaulted on our way back from school by me and my brothers, and developing a palate – a time where you didn't have to look for organic, much less pay so much for it, because it was organic.
We call this English pumpkin, have no idea why exactly, but it's pretty common after the butternut squash – my absolute favorite and very popular here – both very different in shape and flavor.
The english pumpkin begs to be cut into wedges; no arguing on my part since the shape makes it easy to. Then it's just a medium oven, some seasoning and you get concentrated golden pieces of pumpkin, the ideal partner for chicken and turkey. And it's the season people to get your menus in order, plan, cook and gather.

What we honor about the cowboy of the Old West is his willingness to stand up to evil and to do it alone, if necessary. The cowboy is a symbol of the crucial virtues of courage and independence.Andrew Bernstein
Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his selfhood is ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence ... What are the fruits of silence? They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity and reverence. Silence is the cornerstone of character.Ohiyesa
Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.Aung San Suu Kyi
According to the oral tradition of Witches, we were once the priests and priestesses of a peasant Pagan religion. Members of this secret sect met at night beneath the full moon, for these were the "misfits" and "outcasts" who did not fit into mainstream society. Little has changed over the centuries and the Witchcraft community still embraces individuals frequently rejected in mainstream society. These include gays, lesbians, transgendered individuals, and other people with the courage to live their lives authentically in accord with who they are inside their hearts, minds, and spirits.RAVEN GRIMASSI
You must study to be frank with the world: frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion, and take it for granted that you mean to do right.Robert E Lee
When we love, we are courageous; and courage has nothing to do with being fearless, its about being willing to experience fear, even dread, to do what we must, without guarantee of outcome.Vanna Bonta
Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can\'t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.Maya Angelou
Once you have courage to look upon evil, seeing it for what it is and naming it by its true name, it is powerless against you, and you can destroy it.Lloyd Chudley Alexander
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rosa Parks' courage, determination, and tenacity continue to be an inspiration to all those committed to non-violent protest and change nearly half a century later.Bob Filner
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.Robert Francis Kennedy
Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.Og Mandino
Courage is by no means incompatible with tenderness. On the contrary, gentleness and tenderness have been found to characterize the men, no less than the women, who have done the most courageous deeds.Samuel Smiles

I decided to sleep in this morning and take my dog for a walk when I got up. She had knee surgery 2 months ago, which cut into training a lot, but she was doing pretty well until then- with the big issue being gun shy. I was able to work on that while she healed,and she worked her way up from a cap gun to a .22 to a 12 ga.
We walked a bit and when we got to an opening, I called.. a few seconds later the crow came flying in. Jazz was being good and sitting by my side...and I miss twice.
I think she was more disappointed than I was. It should have been her first retrieve.
I know it is not a goose or duck, but I still feel crappy.

Kristin Wolfe's university hockey career will reach its pinnacle this weekend when her Tommies host the CIS championships.
FREDERICTION, N.B. – Kristin Wolfe has been waiting for this moment her entire life.
The Chignecto native and Cumberland County Minor Hockey Association grad will be in the spotlight this weekend when her St. Thomas Tommies team opens the 2014 Scotiabank CIS Women's Hockey Championship at the Aiken Centre in Frederiction.
The sixth-ranked Tommies open action today at 7 p.m. against the loser of Thursday's Saskatchewan/Montreal games, while their second game is on Saturday, also at 7 p.m.
"It's indescribable the feeling that I have right now. It didn't really hit me until last night (Tuesday) when I saw some of the teams arriving. We've been thinking about it and talking about it all year and now that it's here we don't want it to end," said Wolfe, who is finishing her fifth year at St. Thomas and hopes to go into the RCMP after graduation.
While the club got knocked out by the Mount Allison Mounties in the opening round of the AUS playoffs, Wolfe said the club has been working hard in practice preparing for the national tournament.
To help, members of the men's Tommies have been working with the club in practice and playing scrimmages to keep the team in game shape.
Wolfe said the coaching staff has been focusing on special teams as it prepares and keeping the club mentally ready to go when the puck drops for the first game.
"Special teams win or lose games and that's one thing we want to be strong on. Myself I've been working on the basics and trying not to get too worked up, I'm trying to have fun with it," she said. "I'm trying not to think about it too much. I play better when I'm having fun and trying not to think about it too much."
Wolfe had a great senior season, being named to the AUS first all-star team. In 20 games, she had a 10-10 record, a 2.04 goals against average and a .929 save percentage on a team that finished fourth in the AUS standings.
"We're going in with very little pressure on us. The other teams here are conference champions and people are looking at them to win. That's when we play better, when no one has high expectations for us. We'd like to sneak in and grab some wins when we can," she said. "We're the underdogs and we like being the underdogs. That's when we play better."
Wolfe, who went to Berkshire Academy in the United States for four years, said she still finds it hard to believe her university career is coming to an end. She is also looking back fondly at her minor hockey days in Cumberland County and some of those she played with over the years.
"Last night we had a thing where we had to introduce ourselves to everyone else and I have to tell you it felt pretty special to be able to say Amherst, Nova Scotia," she said. "I'm proud of being from a small community and the support I've had is amazing. I've had so many people messaging me, texting me and calling me to wish me luck. I have about 30 people coming from Cumberland County to watch."
She is also proud to be considered a bit of a trailblazer for female hockey players in Cumberland County, having taken her game to the university level. She believes others will follow her including Amherst's Carly Jackson, who recently made a commitment to the NCAA Division 1 University of Maine Black Bears; Athol's Kristy Brown, who is going to play goal at UPEI next year; and Brookdale's Mallory Rushton, who is playing prep school hockey in New Hampshire.
"I was so fortunate in that opportunities I have had. I've had the opportunity to talk to Carly, Mallory and Kristy and I'm so happy to have them asking me about the process," she said. "They are all great players and it's nice to know there are others who look up to me for advice and support."

Does mold grow on or in uncured caulk ?
I will try to keep this concise.
First, the background and steps taken so far:
A few weeks ago, I discovered my front load laundry washing machine had a failed inlet valve that slowly leaked and soaked through the vinyl plank flooring and into the particle board underlayment,. swellling it. Also, the instability of the high speed washer had cracked a floor joist underneath (but that's another project.)
1. Installed plumbing and electrical connections in garage and moved W/D to nice, solid, concrete floor. (Also fixed washer with $13 part.)
2. Ripped up ruined vinyl plank and particle board underlayment....found mold in soaked underlayment in laundry closet and adjoining pantry, sooooooooo.....
3. Removed the 1/4 round and baseboards. Ripped up and cut out all wet particle board plus another 3 inches all way around, (less than 30 sq. ft.)
4. Damage to plywood subfloor was minimal, but scrubbed plywood subfloor underneath and adjoining wall structural (sill?) boards thoroughly with 50% bleach/water solution three times. Dried with fans for about a week. Also cut out affected sheetrock near floor.
5. Tested plywood subfloor throroughly for firmness, then coated with Zinser's shellac based primer. (Also primed structural wall sill (?) boards after inspecting for wood damage.)
6. Installed 3/4 BC plywood underlayment, leaving 1/4 inch expansion gap at walls as instructed at plywood manufacturer's site. Repaired sheetrock and repainted.
7. This is where I diverged into what most will probably say is over-engineering, if not earlier.:whistling2: I hated the idea of a gap between my underlayment and the wall, so I determined to lay a bead of flexible caulk between the underlayment and the bottom of the sheetrock, with some of it laying into the gap to provide some waterproofing (in the event we or a future occupant decides to again use that closet as a laundry connection.)
I'm experienced (or thought I was) with caulk, so I forged ahead.
I had two tubes of brown, exterior-use, weatherproofing caulk, one by DAP and one by GE.
I applied the DAP, and although it was a little thin, it went on smoothly but ran out quickly.
I opened the GE Windows, Siding, and Doors caulk and laid it in and finished the caulking.
A few hours later, the DAP had cured but the GE had not.:huh:
Now, several days later, the GE has *still* not cured.:eek::mad: After researching at several forums, I have concluded that this tube must have been expired or a bad batch to begin with.:wallbash: So, now I know to check the exp. date AND to test a small amount for curing BEFORE using on project.
So, my question is.......
Should I :
a) cut out about 2" of sheetrock above the new underlayment and clean out the gooey mess that is the uncured caulk, and then repair and repaint my sheetrock, (Uuuuuuuggghh, at least another 3 days on my schedule):(
b) leave it exposed and wait it out for the caulk to cure:sleep1: (Be advised, the gap is small, and air movement behind it is nil. I can keep a fan on it, but .......????)
c) apply my Roberts moisture barrier sheets and relay the vinyl plank and watch closely for any signs of mold....?
What I tried to research and could not find on the Web is, does mold grow in or on exterior type caulk that is uncured? I know that the caulk is designed to resist mold and mildew, but I don't know if that is effective if it does not cure.
Any help or advice is appreciated. As an IT, my internet research skills are good, but I do not find where anyone has asked this question before. (Perhaps it is because it is a stupid question? ) :stupid:
You should research; "The Cause(s) of Stomach Ulcers".
Then apply your findings to your projects, present and future.:)
Okay, thanks......I think.
Medically speaking, ulcers are now known to be caused by bacteria and only aggravated by stress.
If you're saying I'm worrying too much, could you be more specific?
Did I worry too much about the gap in the first place, or
Am I worrying too much about the uncured caulk now, or
Thanks again.....I think.:huh:
"D@mmit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!" :laughing:
I just don't see the problem but if I have misunderstood something so be it. I'm not reading all of that again.:)
I just wouldn't worry about it. Does the wall eventually get baseboard?:)
Baseboard, yes.
Yes, sir, it will, and quarter round. (The baseboards took a beating over the last 27 years, so while things were drying out I sanded them down, restained and clear-coated them.)
I don't mean to sound as if I'm over analyzing, but the mold that I found, I think was what was causing my wife and my headaches and allergies. I would go to work, and all would clear up; come home, and my eyes were burning, headaches, etc. Never experienced it before.
So when I found the mold, even in that small an area, I became intent to never let it happen again.
Thanks for your input, and for your patience with my long post.
You've removed the damaged material. You've treated what couldn't be removed and sealed it. (By the way, next time use 10% bleach, not 50/50. It isn't safe) You've removed any potential for future water issues by moving the washer to another location. I'd say the caulk was expired before you put it in there. It's already in there and will get covered by other materials. Removing it won't be worth the hassle. There aren't many organics in caulk to support mold growth. What grows on the caulk in your bathroom is living on soap scum (lots of fat in soap) and embedded dirt (skin particles, dandruff, etc.). Mold needs a nice organic food source like wood or drywall paper. I believe you will make yourself a lot of un-necessary work by trying to remove it.
IMHO, that poll is a waste of space.
Sorry if it does not have a link to my posted question in which I provided details of my situation.
Did you read my post, or do they not appear together?
Sorry, I'm new to the forum.:eek:
That post was way to long to read--can you get the situation down to a couple of sentences?
I didn't even see the pole until now. :eek:
Does mold grow in or on exterior type caulk that is uncured?
I guess I should have put the red question nearer the top.
I'm a little verbose after 2 a.m.ish. and since usually the advisors are asking the questioner for more details, I thought I should be thorough in describing the environment and what had been done thus far.
Three weeks labor is not easily summarized by a novice DIYer, as I am.
I'll try to keep my posts (and my projects) shorter in the future.

BLS Responds to Criticisms of CPIBy
The BLS has just published its response to its critics, especially John Williams at Shadow Government Statistics. The BLS writes:
One widely cited alternative index is based on an estimate that changes to the CPI since 1983 have lowered its growth rate by at least 7 percentage points per year. The use of the geometric mean alone is stated to have lowered the CPI growth rate by 3 percentage points, and other BLS changes, such as the use of hedonic models and OER, supposedlyhave lowered the growth rate by an additional 4 percentage points.
Each of these estimates of the impact of BLS changes is inconsistent with the empirical evidence. As noted earlier, the BLS has computed indexes showing that the use of the geometric mean formula has reduced the growth rate of the geometric mean of the CPI by only -0.28 percentage point per year, not 3 percentage points. Also discussed earlier, BLS analyses have shown that if the implementation of hedonic adjustment models since 1999 has had any net downward effect, it is very small.
I looked at the Williams site, and I honestly have no idea where he gets his numbers. Can anyone enlighten me?

I just read that the 1:10 start time scheduled for June 9th has been moved back to 8:05.
This is incredibly frustrating for fans. The Reds market these games as "family days" and many (including me) travel from significant distances to attend these day games because they work for young children. An 8:05 first pitch is not very family-friendly.

Getting a good trainer at the time when I was preparing for my certification exam was essential for me and in the shape of Passguide, I got an excellent trainer. This was the guide that helped me get to the high rise of success and score immaculately in my exam with its superb ceh v7 pdf and the certified ethical hacker v7 which are built and designed to facilitate students like me to score well in their important exam and the ceh 7 was also there for my help throughout.
John McClain.
Being the best of the students and getting the best grades in the certification exam was what I had always wanted from the start I chose to appear for the big exam and for that I needed the training from a reputavle institute and Passguide did just that for me with its ceh v7 training and by providing me with the ceh v7 book apart from the great ceh classes that developed me as a student and made me capable of getting good grades and living the dream I had foreseen.
Christopher Fernandez.
When I was preparing for my certification exam under the training of Passguide, I was sure that I would be able to pass my exam with ease and that I would not have any difficulty in the exam for the way in which this guide trained and taught me made me believe in myself and made me capable of understanding more with the ceh tutorials and the ceh boot camp which were necessary for the ceh requirements that I had to take care of if I wanted success.
Ian Bishop.
The reason why I was able to score so well in my certification exam was because I had the backing and training of Passguide throughout the time I was studying for my exam and this source never let me down once and whenever I was tensed and worried it gave me hope and confidence that I needed to get back on track. The ceh lab and the ceh questions helped me prepare adeptly for the exam to come and this training made me become a ceh ethical hacker afterall.
Samuel Grimace.

We ordered this as a value option for a nicer looking, freestanding vanity for our third bathroom. We had a little more than 3 feet of space and wanted a distressed white look.The fit and finish are good, and the top looks nice. It is not one solid piece of granite, but instead strips that have been glued together. For the price it is what we were expecting, and we don't have any issues with the appearance.

Picture of the rest...
Had a good day at the range , 200rds thru the new Glock 34 and CZ 75 B , also shot my Taurus 44 spl and Kel-Tec 380. I was there with my buddy Mike , he has a new Glock 22 , what a nice gun. He also had with him his S&W revolvers one is a model 66 the other is a model 686 , these are real sweet , I can't believe how accurate they are. So we get done and he hands me the 686 and says " here clean this when you get home , it's yours", all I can say is good friends are hard to find , and he is a good one , here is a picture...
Wow! What a mate! I would think a free pint or two will be passed his way?
Congrats on the new 686, very nice revolvers.
Good friends are priceless. I can tell you one thing for sure he sure thinks alot of you.
I am with Jenglish as I think a few pints are in order too.
He said he was thinking about trading it at the next gun show . Instead I should have it , to nice of a gun to trade at any price. He got it from a good friend and said it should be passed on the same way.
Fantastic!!! Good friends like that are though to find!!

Keep a Quarter in Your Pocket
Deeply felt spirituality. Who wouldn't want that? Reckless abandon. Religious ecstasy, even.This sensibility lies at the heart of the American religious experience. During the most famous American camp meeting, the Cane Ridge Revival of 1801, one observer looked on in amazement:To see those proud young gentlemen and young ladies, dressed in their silks, jewelry, and prunella, from top to toe, take the jerks, would often excite my risibilities. The first jerk or so, you would see their f … [Read more...]
Pentecost for the Rest of Us
When I arrived at church on Pentecost Sunday a few years ago, I sat down in the pews and looked up to see red and orange balloons in the rafters, and a small red candle on the altar. The service bulletin explained that these were meant to symbolize the famous "tongues of fire" of the first Pentecost. After the service was over, I asked our pastor about this. "I don't know what to do with Pentecost," she mumbled.Other churches aren't much better. Mainline Christians (I'm a United Methodist) … [Read more...]
After the Jelly Beans Are All Gone … Comes Pentecost
Last night, my son and I were chatting about baseball, school, his girlfriend—father and son sort of stuff—before he headed to bed. During our conversation, I spied the remnants of an Easter basket on top of a shelf in the corner of the room by his desk. "Can I have a jelly bean," I asked. "They're all gone," he told me. I love jelly beans. I can do without chocolate bunnies (it still bothers me to bite their heads off) and marshmallow peeps, but jelly beans I love.That's it, then. It's offic … [Read more...]

The moaning woke me up. A deep moaning, somewhere between anguish and pain.

CHICAGO -- Mark DeRosa's bump-up in the batting order gave the Chicago Cubs the lift they needed during a rough stretch.
DeRosa went 5-for-5 with four RBI, the Cubs had a season-high 20 hits and Chicago scored seven in the seventh Thursday to beat the Cincinnati Reds 12-4.
DeRosa's five hits -- four singles and a double -- were a career high as the Cubs won for just the fifth time in 15 games this month.
"I've never done it before. It's unbelievable. I look back on it and I've done a lot of good things in my career and I've done a lot of bad things. This happens to be a good thing and it comes at a very good time," DeRosa said after the Cubs moved a half game out of the NL Central lead.
"St. Louis -- a little bit of scoreboard watching -- beat up on Milwaukee today and we swung the bats well," DeRosa added. "We closed the gap, a half-game out after playing some pretty subpar ball for us."
Moved up to second in the order in front of Derrek Lee, DeRosa flourished, while Aramis Ramirez and Jacque Jones contributed four hits each as the Cubs salvaged one win in the three-game series against the Reds.
"I told (manager) Lou (Piniella) after the game I like hitting in front of D. Lee. I'll tell you what, I was getting some fastballs to swing at," DeRosa said.
The Cubs are only two games above .500 but moved within a half game of first-place Milwaukee when the Brewers lost again to the St. Louis, 8-0. The Cardinals now come to Wrigley Field for an important four-game series. St. Louis is just 2½ games behind Milwaukee after sweeping three from the staggering Brewers at Miller Park.
"It's going to be an interesting weekend of baseball. The defending world champions coming in here on a roll. Our job is to slow them down a little," Piniella said.
Jason Marquis (10-7) allowed seven hits and four runs -- all of those coming in the second.
DeRosa's RBI single off Bobby Livingston (3-3) drove in Ryan Theriot, who had doubled, to break a 4-4 tie in the fourth.
And then the Cubs went to work on the Reds' bullpen in the seventh.
Ramirez and Matt Murton singled against Gary Majewski before Jones hit a liner off reliever Mike Stanton's leg for a single to make it 6-4. After another single by Koyie Hill loaded the bases, Stanton walked pinch-hitter Jason Kendall to force in a run before Theriot hit a two-run double.
DeRosa then greeted reliever Mike Gosling with a two-run single through the box to make it 11-4 and Ramirez followed one out later with his second hit of the inning, a run-scoring double.
The Cubs scored four in the first off Livingston, who surrendered 11 hits and five runs in five innings, but Marquis couldn't hold it.
The Reds tied it with four in the top of the second and could have had more if Ken Griffey Jr. had not been tagged out during a rally-killing mixup on the base paths after he singled off the wall in right center.
"We got a little fortunate there with Griffey rounding that first base bag and getting out. That could have been a really big inning there," Piniella said.
Adam Dunn hit his 32nd homer to lead off the second and the Reds loaded the bases on a walk to Scott Hatteberg, a double by Edwin Encarnacion and a walk to Livingston. Josh Hamilton was hit by a pitch to force in the second run and Jeff Keppinger's infield single made it 4-3 with the bases remaining loaded.
Griffey then hit a ball off the wall to score Livingston. But when Hamilton held up at third and Keppinger had to slow up accordingly, Griffey got caught between first and second and was tagged out easily. Brandon Phillips then grounded out to end the inning.
"With one out, you need to go halfway and if the ball falls in you score easily. (Hamilton) just got a little confused and made a mistake," Reds interim manager Pete Mackanin said.
Hamilton took the blame.
"I kind of got caught in between trying to figure out what to do. I talked to the coaches about it and it's still the one part of my game that doesn't feel quite right," said Hamilton, who didn't play professionally from 2003-05.
The Cubs had four doubles in the first while scoring four times. DeRosa, Ramirez, Jake Fox and Jones all had two-baggers off Livingston.
- Griffey, who had three hits, went to his knees to catch Marquis' sinking liner in the fourth and after he returned to his feet replaced the turf over a big divot he created when he landed.
- The 20 hits were also the most allowed by the Reds this season.
- After days of stifling humidity, the game began with a temperature of just 72 degrees.

efi versus carbeurators...4 bbl versus 3 2 bbl's
I am finally build my dream hotrod..a 1934 ford coupe. building a 350 chevy. The big decision is electronic fuel injection versus 1 4 barrel or 3 2 barrel carbs. want great low end torque, and a quiet car for crusing. Overall pros and cons?? Also is a 700r4 a good choice for tranny. Thanks
The 700R4 is a good tranny, there are many kits to bullet proof them now, must run a kit to lock up the converter to avoid killing it with heat. also only run OD when needed to avoid the extra shifts, in my 90 4x4 it has been flawless, run EFI if you can afford it, even a throttle body is better than a carb and the new stuff is very user friendly, my next rod will most likely get at least a TBI system
Well lets face it, nobody is ever going to make another carberated car from the factory. Why? because fuel injection is so much better. Everything is pretty much trouble free, good gasmileage, automatic air/fuel ratio, smooth running, good cold startups, good low end torque. The minus' that i can see is that not everybody can work on them, and they can get pretty expensive. Granted, its easier and cheaper to make more power with a carb, as well as much easier to work on, but Ill tell you what, as soon as i get 2400 dollars to spend im buying edelbrocks efi.
EFI(factory stock TPI)will give you lots of torque from idle to end and great horsepower but most units including modified are good for 5000rpms that is where the OD trannys come in and rear gearing,if you choose an EFI dont modify it meaning the thrttlebody is large enough for any application as are the runners and manifold the mods should be limited to computer and chip fuel press reg(adj)fuel pump and harness(use a speed dencity system it eliminates the MAF sensor)and with a 700R4 trans with its 3.06 first gear and .70 overdrive you can use 308 or 323(best)rears for outstanding performance.The TPI units give 35% better fuel milage and 30% lower emissions than a carb engine and engines can be built without a lot of exotic parts such as huge port heads, hi lift cams and massive headders although higher compression works good and if the corvette aluminums are used(58cc) you should get away with pump gas,but if you use a carb build it the old way.A carb engine will give you more rpms and more horspower and requires less cash to repair or modify.but it sounds to me that the EFI unit is what you are looking for and the older TPI unit is the most awesome looking fuel system
You may want to consider the cool factor, in my opion you can't beat a three deuce set up. With the correct progressive linkage and secondary carbs.they are very street friendly but may give up alittle performance to the four barrel. I switched to a 3 deuce tunnel ram from automoton and will put it up against any four barrel or efi, on the down side they are expensive.
Good Luck
First off, great choice for your hot rod, '34s are the coolest. If you want to build a reliable, extremely road worthy car, go for the fuel injection and the 700-R4. If you want to build an old time hot rod, go with the 3-2s and a four speed. It all depends on what YOU want to do. Have fun with your car.
Get this!!
Why on God's green earth would you want to put a chevy motor in a ford? Cost? Because GM cranked out so many of them that they are cheep?
I feel being the Ford man I am, that you should stop the insanity and go with a Ford engine.
Sure the parts are more money and sometimes harder to find. But for the money you spend on a ford you can make more horsepower.
For a $400.00 investment you could have way more power than a lowly chevy engine could ever put out.
Also stick with carbration. Unless you want to get into the head ach of tring to figure out the wiring. Yes injection is easier but the level of skill just went up.
I_am_legend, I noticed your post was in the the a morning so maybe you need to have that second cup of coffie before you post a reply. If he wants to stay all ford that is great, but you have to spend so much money just to make the small block ford even close to a mild sbc.
overall cost = chevy
hp per dollar= chevy
if you like chevy stay chevy if you like ford stay ford yes i like fords but after talking to a chevy guy all the way he finaly admited ford did take more money but they also stayed together longer you may build 3 chevys to one ford but you need to stay with what makes you comfy good luck all gordon
You are a Traitor for considering anything but a Flattie for a 34... get a 49-53 8ba block so you dont have to mess with the poured babbit mains, use a modern c4 auto, there are plenty of adaptors, 2 duece offy mainfold, polished offy heads... itl look better too...

Sounds like the senator needs a visit the FBI regarding improper use of information and power.
This is a discussion on You contact Senator & express pro-gun opinion, then LEOs show up. within the Law Enforcement, Military & Homeland Security Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/st...4610614&EDATE= What would your response be?

What would your response be?Smells like intimidation to me!The ISRA is expressing great concern over reports that Illinois State
Police (ISP) detectives have been visiting the homes of people who phoned
or faxed Sen. Dan Kotowski (D-Park Ridge) to express opposition to gun
control legislation sponsored by the senator. The ISRA has recently
conducted a thorough investigation into one complaint, and is gathering
additional information on as many as several dozen other reported incidents
of police questioning citizens who have spoken out against gun control
In the case investigated thus far, the respondent reports that ISP
detectives arrived at his home, unannounced, and informed him that their
visit was in response to faxes he sent to Sen. Kotowski. The detectives
then went on to ask the citizen questions about his mental health and other
personal matters. Although the citizen was not arrested, he reports that he
feels that the detectives were there to deliver the message that it's not a
good idea to criticize Dan Kotowski or the gun control measures Kotowski
......."When we first heard about the ISP visits to homes of people who had
sent faxes to Sen. Kotowski, we were concerned that some folks may have
acted inappropriately," continued Pearson. "However, upon inspection of the
faxes in question, we see absolutely no reason for the ISP to visit
citizens' homes -- other than to possibly put a damper on the citizen's
desire to participate in the legislative process."
"At this time, we are asking Sen. Kotowski to produce any evidence he
may have which illustrates threatening behavior on the part of citizens who
have received ISP visits," said Pearson. "If Sen. Kotowski cannot produce
any such evidence, then we will be asking Attorney General Madigan to
conduct an investigation into the apparent use of the ISP to suppress the
First Amendment rights of persons who express opposition to gun control

From Illinois, I'm not surprised. This just proves that once the 2A falls, the others are right behind it. I don't know why people think that politicians with no respect for one freedom will have any more for the rest of them.
Seems this guy Kotowski should be part of the Bloomberg cadre - another effectively power-abusing anti.

Installed my FSWERKS intake
Wow its like a whole new car, its alot louder so dont be surprised. But for me the loud is good, any comments from any others with the intake?
Yeah a couple others have the fswerks intake, the intake really wakes this motor up!
Also this thread is worthless with out pics :D
Sent from my SGH-I777 using FF Mobile
I'd really be curious to hear how it sounds vs. the Steeda intake.
They should sound similar, but I haven't met any other 3rd Gen owners who have modded their cars yet. But I don't see them sounding radically different though.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 using FF Mobile
Does it sound like what the factory airbox with the top off sounds like? I assume you might have tried that once? .. hopefully. I HATED the part throttle MOAN. do you get that too with the fswerks?
I'd love to see some pics.
I love mine. I have pics in another thread and a video. Congrats on the mod. I bet you'll like it. I can actually hear it over ny exhaust if I have my window down and rev it. Lol.
Being that it is only $170'ish brand new, its a good bang for the buck.
I want to know this also...

text: Pushing and shoving is rude and in some cases you'll wind up in jail. So is the case of 53 year old Wilson Sykes of Shortsville who allegedly took a drunken walk into traffic on West Main Street in Shortsville last night. When he was approached by Ontario County Sheriffs Deputies he pushed a Deputy. Skyes is charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and harassment. He was arraigned in Manchester Town Court and was remanded to Ontario County Jail in lieu of bail.
