Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى ʿīd al-aḍḥā [ʕiːd ælˈʔɑdˤħæ] meaning "Festival of the sacrifice"), also called the Feast of the Sacrifice (Turkish: Kurban Bayramı; Bosnian: Kurban Bajram; Persian: عید قربان, Eid-e qorban), the "Major Festival",[1] the "Greater Eid", Baqr'Eid (Urdu: بقر عید), or Tabaski (West Africa), is the second of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year. It honors the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his promised son, Ishmael (Ismail)a, as an act of submission to God's command, before God then intervened, through his angel Jibra'il and informs him that his sacrifice has already been accepted. The meat from the sacrificed animal is preferred to be divided into three parts. The family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy.
In the lunar-based Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days.[2] In the international (Gregorian) calendar, the dates vary from year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-Fitr. The basis for the observance comes from the 196th ayah (verse) of Al-Baqara, the second sura of the Quran.[3] The word "Eid" appears once in Al-Ma'ida, the fifth sura of the Quran, with the meaning "solemn festival".[4]
Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a Sunnah prayer of two rakats followed by a sermon (khutbah). Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hujjaj, the pilgrims performing the Hajj, from Mount Arafat, a hill east of Mecca. Eid sacrifice may take place until sunset on the 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah.[5] The days of Eid have been singled out in the Hadith as "days of remembrance". The takbir (days) of Tashriq are from the Fajr prayer of the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah up to the Asr prayer of the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah (5 days and 4 nights). This equals 23 prayers: 5 on the 9th–12th, which equals 20, and 3 on the 13th.[6]
Other names[edit]
The Arabic term "festival of the sacrifice", ʿīd al-aḍḥā/ʿīd ul-aḍḥā is borrowed into Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi, Bengali, and Gujarati, Urdu and Austronesian languages, such as Malay and Indonesian (the last often spelling it as Aidiladha or Iduladha).[citation needed] Another Arabic word for "sacrifice" is Qurbani (Arabic: قربان), which is borrowed into Dari Persian and Standard Persian as عید قربان (Eyd-e Ghorbân), or in Urdu as قربانی کی عید (Qorbani ki Eid) Tajik Persian as Иди Қурбон (Idi Qurbon), Kazakh as Құрбан айт (Qurban ayt), Uyghur as Qurban Heyit, and also into various Indo-Aryan languages such as Bengali as কোরবানির ঈদ (Korbanir Eid). Other languages combined the Arabic word qurbān with local terms for "festival", as in Kurdish (Cejna Qurbanê),[7] Pashto (د قربانۍ اختر da Qurbānəi Axtar), Turkish (Kurban Bayramı), Turkmen (Gurban Baýramy), Azeri (Qurban Bayramı), Tatar (Qorban Bäyräme), Albanian (Kurban Bajrami), Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian and Macedonian (Kurban bajram, Курбан бајрам), Russian (Курбан-байрам), Bulgarian (Курбан Байрам), Mandarin Chinese (古尔邦节 Gúěrbāng Jié), and Malaysian and Indonesian (Hari Raya Korban, Qurbani).[citation needed]
Eid al-Kabir, an Arabic term meaning "the Greater Eid" (the "Lesser Eid" being Eid al-Fitr),[8] is used in Yemen, Syria, and North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt). The term was borrowed directly into French as Aïd el-Kebir. Translations of "Big Eid" or "Greater Eid" are used in Pashto (لوی اختر Loy Axtar), Kashmiri (Baed Eid),Pakistani(Baṛī Īd), Hindustani (Baṛī Īd), Tamil (Peru Nāl, "Great Day") and Malayalam (Bali Perunnal, "Great Day of Sacrifice"). Albanian, on the other hand, uses Bajram(i) i vogël or "the Lesser Eid" (as opposed to Bajram i Madh, the "Greater Eid", for Eid al-Fitr) as an alternative reference to Eid al-Adha.[citation needed] Some names refer to the fact that the holiday occurs after the culmination of the annual Hajj. Such names are used in Malaysian and Indonesian (Hari Raya Haji "Hajj celebration day", Lebaran Haji, Lebaran Kaji), and Tamil (Hajji Peru Nāl).[citation needed] In Urdu- and Hindi-speaking areas, the festival is also called Bakr Īd,[9] stemming from the Hindustani word bakrī, "goat", because of the tradition of sacrificing a goat in South Asia. This term is also borrowed into other languages, such as Tamil Bakr Īd Peru Nāl.[citation needed]
Other local names include Mandarin Chinese 宰牲节 Zǎishēng Jié ("Slaughter-livestock Festival") as well as Tfaska Tamoqqart in the Berber language of Djerba, Tabaski or Tobaski in Wolof,[10][11] Babbar Sallah in Nigerian languages, Pagdiriwang ng Sakripisyo in Filipino and ciida gawraca in Somali.[citation needed] Eid al-Adha has had other names outside the Muslim world. The name is often simply translated into the local language, such as English Feast of the Sacrifice, German Opferfest, Dutch Offerfeest, Romanian Sărbătoarea Sacrificiului, and Hungarian Áldozati ünnep. In Spanish it is known as Fiesta del Cordero ("festival of the lamb").[citation needed]
According to Islamic tradition, approximately four thousand years ago, the valley of Mecca (in present-day Saudi Arabia) was a dry, rocky and uninhabited place. God instructed Abraham to bring Hagar (Hājar), his Arabian (Adnan) wife, and Ishmael, his only child at the time, to Arabia from the land of Canaan.[citation needed]
As Abraham was preparing for his return journey back to Canaan, Hagar asked him, "Did God order you to leave us here? Or are you leaving us here to die." Abraham didn't even look back. He just nodded, afraid that he would be too sad and that he would disobey God. Hagar said, "Then God will not waste us; you can go". Though Abraham had left a large quantity of food and water with Hagar and Ishmael, the supplies quickly ran out, and within a few days the two began to feel the pangs of hunger and dehydration.
Hagar ran up and down between two hills called Al-Safa and Al-Marwah seven times, in her desperate quest for water. Exhausted, she finally collapsed beside her baby Ishmael and prayed to God for deliverance. Miraculously, a spring of water gushed forth from the earth at the feet of baby Ishmael. Other accounts have the angel Gabriel (Jibrail) striking the earth and causing the spring to flow in abundance. With this secure water supply, known as the Zamzam Well, they were not only able to provide for their own needs, but were also able to trade water with passing nomads for food and supplies.
Years later, Abraham was instructed by God to return from Canaan to build a place of worship adjacent to Hagar's well (the Zamzam Well). Abraham and Ishmael constructed a stone and mortar structure – known as the Kaaba – which was to be the gathering place for all who wished to strengthen their faith in God. As the years passed, Ishmael was blessed with prophethood (Nubuwwah) and gave the nomads of the desert his message of submission to God. After many centuries, Mecca became a thriving desert city and a major center for trade, thanks to its reliable water source, the well of Zamzam.
One of the main trials of Abraham's life was to face the command of God to sacrifice his dearest possession, his only son. Upon hearing this command, he prepared to submit to God's will. During this preparation, Satan (Shaitan) tempted Abraham and his family by trying to dissuade them from carrying out God's commandment, and Abraham drove Satan away by throwing pebbles at him. In commemoration of their rejection of Satan, stones are thrown at symbolic pillars signifying Satan during the Hajj rites.
When Ishmael was about 13 (Abraham being 99), God decided to test their faith in public. Abraham had a recurring dream, in which God was commanding him to offer up for sacrifice – an unimaginable act – his son, whom God had granted him after many years of deep prayer. Abraham knew that the dreams of the prophets were divinely inspired, and one of the ways in which God communicated with his prophets. When the intent of the dreams became clear to him, Abraham decided to fulfill God's command and offer Ishmael for sacrifice.
Although Abraham was ready to sacrifice his dearest for God's sake, he could not just bring his son to the place of sacrifice without his consent. Ishmael had to be consulted as to whether he was willing to give up his life in fulfillment of God's command. This consultation would be a major test of Ishmael's maturity in faith; love and commitment for God; willingness to obey his father; and readiness to sacrifice his own life for the sake of God.
Abraham presented the matter to his son and asked for his opinion about the dreams of slaughtering him. Ishmael did not show any hesitation or reservation even for a moment. He said, "Father, do what you have been commanded. You will find me, Insha'Allah (God willing), to be very patient." His mature response, his deep insight into the nature of his father's dreams, his commitment to God, and ultimately his willingness to sacrifice his own life for the sake of God were all unprecedented.
When Abraham attempted to cut Ishmael's throat, he was astonished to see that Ishmael was unharmed and instead, he found a dead ram which was slaughtered. Abraham had passed the test by his willingness to carry out God's command.[1][12]
This is mentioned in the Quran as follows:
100 "O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
101 So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
102 Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
103 So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
104 We called out to him "O Abraham!
105 "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" – thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
106 For this was obviously a trial–
107 And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
108 And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
109 "Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
110 Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
111 For he was one of our believing Servants.
112 And We gave him the good news of Isaac – a prophet – one of the Righteous.—Quran, sura 37 (As-Saaffat), ayat 100–112[13]
Abraham had shown that his love for God superseded all others: that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dearest to him in submission to God's command. Muslims commemorate this ultimate act of sacrifice every year during Eid al-Adha.
Eid prayers[edit]
Muslims go to the mosque to pray the prayer of the Eid.
Who must attend[edit]
According to some fiqh (traditional Islamic law) (although there is some disagreement).[14]
- Men should go to mosque—or a Eidgah (a field where eid prayer held)—to perform eid prayer; Salat al-Eid is Wajib according to Hanafi and Shia (Ja'fari) scholars, Sunnah al-Mu'kkadah according to Maliki and Shafi'i jurisprudence. Women are also highly encouraged to attend, although it is not compulsory. Menstruating women do not participate in the formal prayer, but should be present to witness the goodness and the gathering of the Muslims.[15]
- Residents, which excludes travellers.
- Those in good health.
When is it performed[edit]
The Eid al-Adha prayer is performed any time after the sun completely rises up to just before the entering of Zuhr time, on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah. In the event of a force majeure (e.g. natural disaster), the prayer may be delayed to the 11th of Dhu al-Hijjah and then to the 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah.
The Sunnah of preparation[edit]
In keeping with the tradition of Muhammad, Muslims are encouraged to prepare themselves for the occasion of Eid. Below is a list of things Muslims are recommended to do in preparation for the Eid al-Adha festival:
- Make wudhu (ablution) and offer Salat al-Fajr (the pre-sunrise prayer).
- Prepare for personal cleanliness—take care of details of clothing, etc.
- Dress up, putting on new or best clothes available.
Rituals of the Eid prayers[edit]
The scholars differed concerning the ruling on Eid prayers. There are three scholarly points of view:
- That Eid prayer is Sunnah mu'akkadah (recommended). This is the view of Malik ibn Anas and Al-Shafi'i.
- That it is a Fard Kifaya (communal obligation). This is the view of Abū Ḥanīfa.
- That it is Wajib on all Muslim men (a duty for each Muslim and is obligatory for men); those who do not do it with no excuse are considered sinners. This is the view of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and was also narrated from Abū Ḥanīfa.
Eid prayers must be offered in congregation. It consists of two rakats (units) with seven Takbirs in the first Raka'ah and five Takbirs in the second Raka'ah. For Sunni Muslims, Salat al-Eid differs from the five daily canonical prayers in that no adhan (call to prayer) or iqama (call) is pronounced for the two Eid prayers.[16][17] The salat (prayer) is then followed by the khutbah, or sermon, by the Imam.
At the conclusion of the prayers and sermon, Muslims embrace and exchange greetings with one other (Eid Mubarak), give gifts (Eidi) to children, and visit one another. Many Muslims also take this opportunity to invite their non-Muslim friends, neighbours, co-workers and classmates to their Eid festivities to better acquaint them about Islam and Muslim culture.[18]
The Takbir and other rituals[edit]
The Takbir is recited from the dawn of the ninth of Dhu al-Hijjah to the thirteenth, and consists of:[19]
Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar الله أكبر الله أكبر lā ilāha illā Allāh لا إله إلا الله WAllāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar الله أكبر الله أكبر wa li-illāhil-hamd ولله الحمد
- God is the Greatest, God is the Greatest,
- There is no deity but God
- God is the Greatest, God is the Greatest
- and to God goes all praise
Multiple variations of this recitation exist across the Muslim world
Traditions and practices[edit]
Men, women and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing to perform Eid prayer in a large congregation in an open waqf ("stopping") field called Eidgah or mosque. Affluent Muslims who can afford to, i.e. Malik-e-Nisaab, sacrifice their best halal domestic animals (usually a cow, but can also be a camel, goat, sheep or ram depending on the region) as a symbol of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only son. The sacrificed animals, called aḍḥiya (Arabic: أضحية, also known by its Persian term, Qurbāni), have to meet certain age and quality standards or else the animal is considered an unacceptable sacrifice. This tradition accounts for the slaughter of more than 100 million animals in only two days of Eid. In Pakistan alone nearly 10 million animals are slaughtered on Eid days costing over US$3 billion.[20]
The meat from the sacrificed animal is preferred to be divided into three parts. The family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy. Though the division is purely optional wherein either all the meat may be kept with oneself or may be given away to poor or needy, the preferred method as per sunnah of Muhammad is dividing it in three parts.
The regular charitable practices of the Muslim community are demonstrated during Eid al-Adha by concerted efforts to see that no impoverished person is left without an opportunity to partake in the sacrificial meal during these days.
During Eid al-Adha, distributing meat amongst the people, chanting the Takbir out loud before the Eid prayers on the first day and after prayers throughout the four days of Eid, are considered essential parts of this important Islamic festival. In some countries, families that do not own livestock can make a contribution to a charity that will provide meat to those who are in need.
Eid al-Adha in the Gregorian calendar[edit]
|Part of a series on
|Islamic culture
While Eid al-Adha is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar. The lunar calendar is approximately eleven days shorter than the solar calendar. Each year, Eid al-Adha (like other Islamic holidays) falls on one of about 2–4 different Gregorian dates in different parts of the world, because the boundary of crescent visibility is different from the International Date Line.
The following list shows the official dates of Eid al-Adha for Saudi Arabia as announced by the Supreme Judicial Council. Future dates are estimated according to the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia.[21] However, it should be noted that the Umm al-Qura is just a guide for planning purposes and not the absolute determinant or fixer of dates. Confirmations of actual dates by moon sighting are applied to announce the specific dates for both Hajj rituals and the subsequent Eid festival. The three days after the listed date are also part of the festival. The time before the listed date the pilgrims visit the Mount Arafat and descend from it after sunrise of the listed day.
Future dates of Eid al-Adha might face correction 10 days before the festivity, in case of deviant lunar sighting in Saudi Arabia for the start of the month Dhul Hijja. In many countries, the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality.

So the GF wants me to hang a piece of "art" in the dining room. She loves the look achieved by using a 5" blending disc on stainless steel. The required size is 48" x 32". I know 18ga would hang nice and straight, but the weight kinda concerns me. Would some very light tig welding on the backside (for hanger attachments), cause the 20ga to distort? I can weld 18ga with no distortion, but have zero experience with 20ga material. Opinions?

20ga Stainless
If you clamp it nice and tight to a heavy piece of aluminum or copper to the back side, the heat will get sucked away and it will remain flat.
Won't likely burn through either.
If you don't do this, even a small spot/tack will deform the material. Super obvious on stainless because of the shine."If you build it, they will come!"

Guess a damp towel on the backside could take the place of the copper heat sink?
No, you need a real heat sink on something like this. A cold towel rag or towel will not suck up enough heat. You need a piece of copper or aluminum to draw the heat away. something as thin as 20ga will show any distortion very visibly. Try it on scrap piece first and see the results.Synchrowave 180

I had fun knitting this top down raglan. No charts or pre-planning...just "composed" as I knit. The yarn is KnitPicks "Chroma" that I bought last year during their half price blow-out sale. The raglan yoke and body took three days to knit, each sleeve took one day....five days of fun!
Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year! More Love, Light, Peace, Joy than in any other year before!
I was giving this yarn by a dear friend of mine on this site, Lou Chicquette. It is a beautiful, supple blend of 42% wool, 35% acrylic, and 23% Viscose. The yarn is by Berroco and is buttery soft that makes it a very pleasant yarn to knit.
Hey all! Got a late start but back int the knitting game for the winter. Having lived in Dallas for a couple years 80 degree weather in December somehow seemed inappropriate for knitting. Now that I'm back in the New England area I'm enjoying my tea and knitting meditation time. Currently working a cable cowl neck.
I haven't investigated this site too much but what I did find looks
promising. Check it out if you get a chance. It is apparently free as are all
the back issues.
I just finished my first sweater in time for the holidays.
for more info:
Made Kelly Green sweater that I'd like to share....

some alterations on the pattern section, changed the purl to seed stitch and lowered the pattern section to match the arm pattern and fall below instead of right on the nipples
To all my dear friends and fellow MWKers -
May you all have many Blessings through this Holiday Season and the coming New Year. Whether you celebrate the Solstice [like me], Christmas, Hanukkah [which was early this year], Kwanzaa, New Year, Lunar New Year or whichever and whatever your heart desires - or even not at all - I wish you Peace and Happiness in the time ahead.
I'm starting my first double-knit lace project. The pattern is by a young New York City lad by the ravetar of Aptenoknits. It's available free on Ravelry until March. I'd never considered lace before, having gotten trapped in a double-knitting energy vortex years ago in my reckless knitting youth. Trapped in the vortex as I am, lace always seemed inaccessible and remote.

Mischa Barton is glad people are no longer talking about her caramel Frappuccinos.
It wasn't all that long ago that pretty much anything the 27-year-old actress did made headlines. Thrust into stardom playing Marissa Cooper on "The O.C.," suddenly the British-born actress was a Hollywood "it" girl, and everything she did made headlines. Some things merited coverage (her 2007 DUI arrest and subsequent psychiatric confinement) and others, not so much (those awful cellulite photos and the relentless scrutiny over her weight).
Mischa Barton at the 'A Resurrection' premiere on March 19 (Getty Images)
[Related: Mischa Barton Strips For Music Video]
"I'm so relieved it's not how it was," said the actress in the story appropriately titled "Whatever Happened to 'The O.C.' Star Mischa Barton?" "It's not the person. It was the time. Everything was an 'It' girl this or 'It' girl that. It was just over the top."
Barton, who told the website she does not miss the spotlight and doesn't even employ a personal publicist, admitted the constant scrutiny had an adverse impact on her.
"I just think there's a negative side -- obviously, that's an understatement -- to having all that attention," she said. "Because it's not friendly. It's invasive. I find, in order to get your job done, actors need a certain amount of anonymity. You're being blown up to that extent, and everybody is following every little piece of your life. 'Oh, she went to Starbucks to get a Frappuccino with a caramel.' Then they follow you to the gas station. It's impossible to concentrate on the work. When you just want to go on vacation and you hear a twig snap and there's a guy in a tree, it's not relaxing. You can't be a real person. So I'm happy things have changed."
Barton's 2007 mug shot
"I've evolved a lot," she noted. "I'm a lot older now. Not a lot older, but time's passed. I think in your 20s, all your years are quite formative. I'm sure I'm quite different."
[Related: Celebs on Spring Break 2013]
In "A Resurrection," which is one of Michael Clarke Duncan's last roles and features Jamie Kennedy as a producer, Barton plays a high school guidance counselor instead of an actual high schooler.
"We didn't have a huge budget," Barton said of the film. "We shot it in 20 days. It was fun."
She also has another indie flick in the can in which she plays a layered alcoholic, which she claimed was "one of the best films I've ever been offered."
"Things are heating up again, which is probably a good thing," she added.
However, not all of her troubles have disappeared.
In February, Barton's lawyer was in a Los Angeles court to fight a default judgment against her in the amount of $95,000. The case stemmed from 2009, which was the year of her psychiatric confinement, when she used the services of Doctors' Choice Nursing -- reportedly employing a team of sober coaches -- and failed to pay the bill. The case is pending.
She's also been trying hard to unload the eight-bedroom Beverly Hills home she purchased in her "O.C." heyday. After buying the house for $6.4 million in 2005, she's tried repeatedly to sell it since she stopped pulling in her big paychecks, which we detailed here. Last month -– in an apparent attempt to squeeze some cash out of the palatial place -- she decided to rent it out for a jaw-dropping $35,000 a month.

The Pats are probably playing vanilla yogurt offense and defense..Belicheat will not give away anything until it counts.
The bad protection must be very alarming for them. Maybe Tinsel Tommy will get a few bruises tonight..heh..heh..heh
Yeah, $20 to watch all preseason games live. Seems like a good deal to me. I also buy the Game Rewind sub so I can rewatch all our games and see the coach film or just study some of the plays. I kill a lot of time with it. LOL
Brady has already been hit a few times, one was a pretty big one where he got sandwiched in between two lineman. Blocking has been really poor. Chandler Jones looks REALLY good tho
There is a huge Pats fan in my office and he's been talking for weeks about how bad their O'Line is gonna be. I'm skeptical of course, because of Belichick's deal with the Devil, but one can hope.
"Every time someone tries to win a war before it starts, innocent people die. Every time."
- Joss Whedon
Just pre-season guys.
maybe these new refs will actually start calling these holding calls on solder. I dont understand why they werent being called more frequent on him last year? He holds and doesnt get called more than any lineman I know.
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious

Still, I wish it had more room in the new shed. The kind of shed I purchased was the "lofted barn" type. It didn't take me long to change the "loft" part into a "floor" part, nearly doubling the inside storage space.
After I completed the new floor, and within an hour of struggling to get a heavy box up the ladder, I was busy designing and making an elevator... All the while nursing a sore back that lasted a week.
Step 1: Preparation:
In order to keep the platform as level as possible, without having to handle multiple lifting lines, I settled on a rig that "ancient" drawing boards used. If you went to school before the 90s, chances are you've seen one. The drawing board rig keeps the platform perfectly level in one direction. I could have placed another just like it facing the opposite direction, but opted instead for a simple bridle that keeps things steady as long as the load is somewhat balanced.
I purchased all the parts I needed at our local hardware store. I chose 2 sizes of line, which is a bit of overkill. One for the hoist, (3/4") and a lighter line for the stabilizer (5/8"). Using 5/8" for everything may have made things a bit easier and less expensive.
Excellent !!!!
Wow this is really great. This gives me enough detail information for my same issue only different need. I am looking to hoist a sailboat into the rafters of my carport. This season's solution put too much effort on balancing the boat. If I can hoist from a four point system it should stablize much better.
An elevator seems like a good idea for the heavier things that need to be put up in storage. We're using a pulley system for an attic and it can be quite a fair bit more tedious!
Hi, Do you mind send me the PDF at email@example.com? Thanks.
This is awesome! I am completing my 12 x 24 shed and have been searching for the type pulley you used and cannot find them. Can you please direct me to a source? Thanks so much!
My plan is to use a 12 volt starter motor to winch the platform up and down. What do you think?
Depending on how you rig them, any type of pulley should work, but "Wall/Ceiling" pulleys and a "Rigid Mount" pulley and shackle are what I used. I've added a couple of pictures of my setup.
An internet search of those names will get you to where you need to be. I'm in the States and every hardware store should them, but any big box store should carry a full line of pulleys as well. I opted for the stamped metal type. They cost a little more, but don't make me wonder if the casting is going to crack while I'm underneath.
I was originally planning on electrifying mine too, but was able to winch the heaviest trunk I had by hand so the added cost/space/DC source wasn't necessary. The only change I'd make to mine would be to replace the 3/4" line with 5/8". For me, the increased amount of stretch would be more desirable than the friction of the 3/4" line... Someday, maybe...
My platform only has an area of a few square feet, but a larger platform, holding more weight may benefit from power. I'd think a starter motor, if strong enough at all, would have to be geared down pretty far to overcome the forces. The lift speed would also be slowed down quite a bit.
When I was building mine, I was thinking of a powered boat winch (powered in both directions... Freewheeling on the downward cycle could prove to be exciting in a bad way:). There might even be enough cable wrapped inside to eliminate the lifting line entirely.
Good luck with yours and I hope this helps. Mine has been intermittently used for over 2 years now and still going strong.
Thank you very much. This project is still working great. 3/4" line was a bit of overkill. 1/2" would be more than strong enough and create less friction. Placing the stabilizing lines against a wall would work well in a garage. Why not motorize it?
Awesome. I have a large storage area above my garage. Guess how I'll be moving heavy or awkward stuff up and down from now on? Thanks for the ideas. Nice work.
On mine, I wanted to get the line over to the opposite side of the ladder, but paid for it by needing 2 additional pulleys (I've reduced it to 1 since publishing the Instructable).
The fewer pulleys, the more efficient it'll be.
Good luck and enjoy your summer.
Thanks for your compliment. That was kind.
You only have to remember that the heavier the load, the more pulleys will be needed and the more friction will build up, overtaking any advantage of the pulleys. On mine, It's good for about 100 lbs if I get all the twists out of the line, but it still takes a fair amount of energy to haul that much weight up. Probably less than pushing that much weight up the ladder ahead of me though, but also less awkward and dangerous.
I don't bother using the winch on the lighter loads, but you'll need some form of additional purchase for heavier ones for sure.
Another point is, this rig has been used on the underside of drawing boards (albeit, quite a bit smaller in size) for as long as I can remember, and then some. I don't ever remember seeing wear at the crossing point.
Offsetting certainly wouldn't hurt, but it would be 2 of the diagonals that are offset. If the pulleys on one side were offset, the lines would still meet at the center (unless you're offsetting them in opposite directions, which would be correct).
Thanks for your logical suggestion and if you ever set it up, please let us know how it works. I'm not against adjusting things to make them better:)
How well does the stabilizing rig work? It's an elegant solution, but it seems like it might be prone to jamming.
As far as jamming goes, the stabilizing rig is very stable. If you use braided line and make sure it's untwisted (the pattern in the braid helps greatly with that), it will work reliably forever. It may need adjusting once in a while, but there isn't any stress on the line that would make it jam. It simply rolls back and forth. You can make a small prototype by putting 4 nails in a rectangle to represent the pulleys and loop a string with a single twist in it around them. You'll be able to see how the parallel sides move the same distance and direction as each other and how difficult it would be to make them jam. As a matter-of-fact, they really don't have to be snugged very tight at all. The line will still move the same distance, no-matter how loose or tight it is. The looser it is, will only allow the platform to swing further away from a completely vertical direction, so if that's not an issue, you can leave them pretty slack and it will still keep the platform level.
There's more chance for the hoisting rig to jam, since the bitter end (the end you pull on) is able to twist, which makes the line "lumpy", for lack of a better word.
When you coil line to hang it, do NOT use the method of twisting it around your arm. Coil it in your hand, putting a half-twist in every loop to take twist out. The best way to reduce the chances of jamming is to remove pulleys. For me, it was a choice among pulleys, ease of construction and space. I'll eventually be taking at least one and hopefully three out of the system if I can figure out how to rig the thing without having to fix them to the roof proper. That will also reduce friction.
Whew! Am I long winded or not?
I would like to SUGGEST adding some type of POSITIVE LOCK to the pallet when in the up position.
I can see me stepping off the ladder and onto the pallet and going for a ride.
Again it is a great idea for a lot of us, I am constantly going UP & DOWN the narrow ladder with simple loads.
Terrible Pictures, I know, but the last one shows the proper "nautical" way to tie a cleat. This is guaranteed to hold any load on the line (Non't use drywall screws to mount the cleat).
Good luck making something to carry your loads for you. I'll be modifying my Instructable as I modify my setup, so I'll be learning along with everyone else.
Thanks, all
I wonder if you could modify it to unlatch if you were to pull on the rope. That way, you wouldn't have to unlatch it with one hand while holding the rope with the other to inch the platform down.
Your assignment, should you decide to accept it :-)
btw, those weren't snatch blocks, but that's a great idea as well. That would certainly make loading the thing easier.
Thanks for your comments.
I'm working on a design to cut a hole in the floor of my kitchen corner cabinet that goes to our cool and dry crawlspace then to make a small box for things that don't need to be in the fridge but do need to be kept cooler than my regular shelving. it's only about 5' down. ....
Pulleys are machines and are subject to mechanical friction. If it's possible to reduce the number of pulleys in your system as I did in mine, friction is also reduced. The pulleys I removed had nothing to do with mechanical advantage, so I lost nothing there.
The line you use is also another area where you can get into trouble. If the line is too large for your pulleys, it will bind. If it's too small, it will jam. Your pulleys are designed to be used with a specific size line.
Finally, not all pulleys are designed alike. Mine are simple, inexpensive devices made to be used in situations like my storage shed. It sounds like your situation is a bit more "refined". Most low-cost pulleys rely on a simple axle. The more weight that's applied, the more difficult it is to turn. Like any other man-made machine, pulleys come in both low and high quality versions. There are some that use bearings, either low quality plastic, or high quality ball or roller. If your system is as simple as it can be, the line you're using is a quality, soft braid and you're still having trouble, it may be the quality of your pulleys. I know yacht quality is as good as it gets, so if you're in an area where there's a marine store nearby, see if you can purchase what you need with the stipulation that if they don't help, you can return them... btw, on boats, don't call them "pulleys"... Call them "blocks".
Good luck... And I like the way you think about using the coolness of your crawlspace.
I settled on "elevator" mostly because it would draw interest...
It's only a 10' x 12' shed... And an ELEVATOR? Ya gotta look:)
a great instructable by the way...
The actual reason I used 3/4" line was the pulleys I had were sized for 3/4"
There, you dragged the truth out of me:)
Of course, line strength isn't the whole story. My pulleys are held in by 3 drywall screws (each) and the lines are attached by 3/16" steel screw-in eyes and the best way to mount hardware is in shear, not tensile which is how mine is attached, but the heaviest thing I can imagine being on my platform would be me. Plenty of margin and if I'm using it as a seat, no big concern.
Oh... I don't stand under it when I'm putting things up.

Teaming with a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor), Robertson led the Bucks to the title in 1970-71, and brought them back to the finals in 1973-74. We believe this image, published in poster size exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, was taken during Game 7 of the now-legendary 1974 finals, when the Bucks took the Havlicek-led Celtics all the way to a seventh game before bowing out to the green machine. Despite being the final game of his career, Robertson's ball handling skills, athleticism, and intensity remained as sharp as ever, as he blew by Havlicek with the urging of teammate Curtis Perry. From the vintage uniforms and equipment, to the old Boston Garden parquet, to the championship intensity that had every fan standing standing throughout, this is a true NBA classic that is a perfect tribute to Oscar Robertson, prototype of the modern guard. A rare old-school beauty for your sports wall-of-fame - printed from the original photographic negative, and complete with official NBA Products serialized hologram, this is both a stunning piece for any fan, and a valuable collector's item for years to come.

So, for 20 hours of the day, Gronk is rehabbing and working hard to get back into shape for the upcoming season, all in complete silence and without a reporter's note in some rag.
Then he goes to relax at a party and is playing beer pong. Oh, my GOD! Gronk is PARTYING!!! Ok, so, what does that have to do with play on the field? When he comes back and plays like he did before the knee injury, are we going to be concerned for his playing "beer pong" to relax? I do not think so. Take a chill pill!

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
2 buddies and I were playing at a course that boarders a creek. One guy had an errant throw that ended up in the middle of the creek. The creek was high and fast, but we could see the disc. None of us were willing to go and get it. On that same hole we encountered a solo player in his mid 20's. He saw our situation and expressed condolances and we let him play ahead of us. The guys and I continued playing and took a break at hole 14 when the same guy comes up to us soaking wet up to his neck and pulls my buddies disc out of his bag. We coulden't believe that this kid got drenched just to return some strangers disc. We thanked him and he went on his way. Crazy.
Views: 141
I had a guy i just met climb a 40ft palm tree to retreive my disc from the top.
Someone did the tree climb for me at Oak Grove one time. I tried to go big hyzer on it and got my Star Valk stuck in the top of the BIG tree on 17. Couldn't believe someone would climb that high for a disc.
MAybe he was hot!!! Needed to take a dip!!! Then he got your disc while he was dipping!!!!! Either way!!!! Good karma!!!
as long as the course doesn't prohibit it, a lot of people go diving periodically. Just be sure to call all the numbers!

Hang tight!
Recipe by Erica
"I love to make this very easy roast. It makes it's own gravy and is oh, so tender and juicy! Best if served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Any cut of roast should work fine."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Watch video tips and tricks
2 pounds
boneless beef roast
1 teaspoon
vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
onion, quartered
baby carrots
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed cream of mushroom soup
4 cloves
garlic, minced
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
I made this twice exactly by recipe. While it is very good, it had an odd taste that a few in the family did not like. I omitted the garlic and changed the soup to cream of celery (added fresh mushrooms with carrots, though), and it was a bit better, but still not perfect. I tried with the celery soup and no garlic, again, BUT added three tblsp. worceshire sauce (4 lb. roast) and THAT was the winning combo!
Everytime I made the roast, I added over one lb. of baby carrots and two stalks of celery to bottom of crockpot. After 7 or 8 hours, I added bite-sized cut red potatoes (skin on) on top. Cooked 9 to 10 hours every time for perfect doneness of veggies and meat, as well as moist meat. Cooking on LOW is best.
For those who don't like cream soups, replace with a can of beef broth, add the worceshire, and dredge the roast with flour before browning. This will give you a grand, flavorful result, too.
My family didn't love this - not sure why. I've never cooked with canned soup before - maybe it was that. But it did make a nice, although fatty, gravy (and my meat was not very fatty).
But here's something that may be interesting - because I put 2 roasts in the pot, after 9 hours the meat was still chewy. I had sliced up all the meat, but after dinner, returned all the leftovers to the crock pot with the gravy and cooked another two hours. Then it was nice and tender. So it is possible to return roast to cooking even after it's cooled and improve the texture.
371 Ratings
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS NOT MENTIONED: If you're cooking this for 8+ hours with a 2lb chuck roast and adding potatoes, celery and carrots, I suggest adding 1C of beef broth or the whole can (2C). A beef bouillon diluted in 1C of hot/boiling water also works. I cooked the garlic in the oil that I browned the meat. Have no idea why 16 was the magic number of carrots for her recipe, but I just put as many as I feel my family will eat. Sometimes we add some onions ...sometimes we don't if our guests don't like them. It makes no difference. I definitely recommend adding a 1.5T of Worcestershire sauce and a bay leaf. I also sprinkle some McCormick's Slow Cookers Hearty Beef Stew seasoning package like other reviewers recommend when making other recipes on this site. Big difference! This finished sooner than I thought (4hrs - 2lb meat), but I continued to cook it until we ate dinner (10-12 hrs), and it just got better with time (but needed more liquid). While there was still gravy in the end, there wasn't that much. I spray PAM along the sides if it looks like it's burning, and it works like a charm! If you use this for beef stroganoff over some noodles, you must add 4oz of cream cheese right before serving for it to truly taste like traditional stroganoff! When I feel like having potatoes on the side, I use the honey potato recipe (1 lb red potatoes quartered, 1T butter, 3T honey, and 1t dry mustard - bake 40 min). My toddlers love this!
I love this recipe and use it every time I make a roast. I use a shoulder roast and add potatoes. It's really good if you use Campbell's Roasted Garlic Cream of Mushroom soup. Adds a little extra flavor. I have also found that the slower and longer you can let it cook, the better. I have been rushed before and cooked it on high in my crock pot for less time and the meat comes out tough. This is a great recipe to start early on a Sunday morning for a delicious Sunday dinner!
Wonderful roast - I didn't bother browning it though. I used a 3lb. roast and put it over a layer of portabella mushrooms. I added 1/4 cup of beef broth and 3 Tbsp. of low sodium soy sauce along with 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. I also added the garlic and parsley. I left out the carrots and cooked this on low for 8 hours. It was falling apart and delicious!
I made this twice, once with a two pound blade roast and the other with a 4 pound cross rib roast - both times I added a few drops of Worchestershire sauce, and both times about the best roast we have ever had! Not at all dry and very, very tasty. We had the leftovers with gravy on bread so we could enjoy it all over again. I cooked the roasts for about 9 hours.
This is one of my most favorite recipes! It is so very good and DH loves it. I add potatoes to mine and a can of beef broth. I saute the garlic in the oil used to brown the roast and then add the broth and the cream of mushroom soup. It is a family favorite!
I'm giving this a 5 even though it was a little bland. I was ecstatic when I found a Laura's Lean Beef roast at Target! It was only 2 pounds, so I searched for a recipe using a 2 pounder. Definitely use at least double the amount of carrots- I made it as written & wished I had used more. I also would cut down on the onion & maybe use the mushroom soup with either herbs or extra garlic. The cut of meat was totally lean- & fell apart! I took the suggestion of cooking for 7 hours & that was perfect- being that it is such a small roast. Turned out really tender & the amount of gravy was perfect. Thanks Erica!

Tinea corporis is a skin infection due to fungi. It is also called ringworm of the body.
Related skin fungus infections may be found:
Fungal infection - body; Infection - fungal - body; Tinea of the body; Tinea circinata; Ringworm - body
Fungi are germs that can live on the dead tissue of the hair, nails, and outer skin layers. Tinea corporis is caused by mold-like fungi called dermatophytes.
Tinea corporis is common in children but can occur in people of all ages.
Fungi do well in warm, moist areas. A tinea infection is more likely if you:
Tinea corporis can spread easily.You can catch it if you come into direct contact with an area of ringworm on someone's body. You can also get it by touching items that have the fungi on them, such as:
Ringworm can also be spread by pets. (Cats are common carriers.)
The rash begins as a small area of red, raised spots and pimples. The rash slowly becomes ring-shaped, with a red-colored, raised border and a clearer center. The border may look scaly.
The rash may occur on the arms, legs, face, or other exposed body areas.
Symptoms may include itching.
Your health care provider can often diagnose tinea corporis by looking at your skin.
You may also need the following tests:
Keep your skin clean and dry.
Use creams that treat fungus infections.
To use this medicine:
Rarely, you may need medicine you take by mouth if your infection is very bad.
A child with ringworm can return to school once treatment has started.
To prevent the infection from spreading:
Infected pets should also be treated.
Ringworm often goes away within 4 weeks when using antifungal creams. The infection may spread to the feet, scalp, groin, or nails.

Blackburn fan Matthew Stanger joins Jon Holmes and Matty Briggs to discuss Rovers' relegation and much more on the latest TEAMtalk Podcast.
The new TEAMtalk Podcast is here! Listen via the Mixcloud player below, or download it for free as an MP3 file from our Media section. The Podcast is also available on iTunes.
Jon Holmes is this week's host, and he is joined in the studio by Football365.com writer and Blackburn Rovers fan Matthew Stanger and TEAMtalk journalist and betting guru Matty Briggs.
Rovers and out
Matthew was at Ewood Park on a depressing, damp Monday night as his side lost their fight for survival. Who's to blame - Kean, Venky's, Jerome Anderson or the angry Rovers fans? Our special guest gives us the full lowdown.
Final-day deciders
With Wigan now safe, we look ahead to the final day-decider at the bottom and see if the lads think Bolton or QPR will be relegated. And linked in, of course, is the title - do they give Manchester United any hope of pipping City to the prize?
Chelsea's cup again, Irish dreams, play-offs punting and much more
We also review Chelsea's FA Cup final win over Liverpool, the race for third and fourth place in the Premier League, and we consider the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2012 chances after they named their squad on Monday.
Matty gives us some betting advice ahead of the rest of the Football League play-offs and we preview the Europa League final.
