National Geographic reported that a new dinosaur species, Brontomerus mcintoshi, was discovered. This new dino is a type of sauropod, four-legged plant-eater, and is beginning to be known as the Thunder Thighs thanks to its immense hipbone blades. The blades on its hips suggest that very large muscles were attached there; these muscles could have been used for maneuvering over hilly land or giving its predators a swift kick.
In 2007 Mathew Wedel, professor of anatomy at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, and his team were examining bones from a fossil quarry in Utah when they discovered that the bones weren't from any known species. Since the shape of the thighbones suggested that this dino had the largest leg muscles of any sauropod, it was named accordingly since Brontomerus means "thunder thighs" in Greek. Wedel and his team have studied the bones and done artist concepts of what this dinosaur might look like close up. Although he thinks it's probably safer that we never came in contact with b.mcintoshi. Wedel explains that this dino had a little brain, was constantly paranoid about all the meat-eaters around, always on the lookout to protect it's young, and was not afraid to use its enormous legs to do so. He adds that the, " sauropods were probably beautiful animals if you were a long way away with binoculars."

ADRIAN - – Interstate 90 motorists in southwestern Minnesota are advised of day-time lane closures this week as crews build crossovers for bridge work in the area of Adrian and Jackson this summer. Later in April traffic will be reduced to two lanes, two-way with reduced speeds until mid-September.
The project includes work on four bridges at Adrian and four more at Jackson. Crews will repair decks, rails, approach panels, drainage and paint the steel to keep them in good condition and improve the ride for the motorists. Guardrail improvements will also be made.

Brooklyn watches propel mechanics to the forefront of watchmaking, as opposed to just look and design, he embraces the craftsmanship of former watchmakers, producing a wrist watch that celebrates the functionality and beauty of a forgotten age.
A devotion to time
Each watch doesn't need a battery, all you need to do to keep them running is simply wind them each day. Sokosh has deliberately focused on the beauty of mechanical parts, particularly in this modern world of ever-changing technology and digital focus. Sokosh says, "with digital things, everything happens invisibly. The owner of a mechanical clock or watch can see how it works. Clocks still tell time 100 or 200 years after they were built. That is incredible in a digital age where things can be out of date in a year and unusable in five."
I'm standing there, as the guy who made the watch, talking to people. I think a lot of people really respond to that
While you would think these hand-crafted vintage timepieces are worth thousands of pounds you will be pleasantly surprised to learn the average price is between $500 and $800 – this for a watch that not only exudes a classic elegance but accurately merges restored vintage parts and new modern movements.
Sokosh has devoted his life to the world of horology, beginning as an apprentice and eventually becoming a master of his craft. He told Worn & Wound, "I apprenticed with a clock maker when I was about 20. I worked with him for a couple of years in Connecticut, and then went back to school for photography. Then I came to New York and worked in the photo industry for a long time, and always did clock repair and restoration for myself and for other people as favours.
"I ended up owning an art gallery in Dumbo, which was three years old in the Fall of 2007 when the economy just collapsed. At Christmas time, which was always the best time of year, people just didn't buy anything. I realised then that the writing was on the wall. I'm glad I did because my real desire was to stay and hold on, but I never would have been able to.
"So I closed that gallery in February of 2008, and the Brooklyn Flea Market started in April in Fort Greene. I started selling and restoring clocks, and people started asking right away about watches, which I had no experience with at that time. So I sought out this guy [Steven D. Richardson] who has his own watch company [and non-profit watch school] here in Brooklyn, and learned from him the techniques of working with watches. The mechanics and the technology that makes them run is very similar to the way mantle clocks work, but the way you work with watches is different because everything is so small."
Working with vintage pocket watches
Sokosh has always been drawn to working with the larger movements from pocket watches ever since his apprenticeship. His love of all things vintage and his quest to rescue something from an old clock have spurred Sokosh on to create a personalised timepiece like no other. "It's a really great movement to work with when you're learning. They're kind of big. I think that lots of people learn on them. The thing that makes my watch line go is that while Unitas no longer exists, ETA continues to make the movements, so there are people still out there making dials and cases and hands to fit them.
Clocks still tell time 100 or 200 years after they were built. That is incredible in a digital age where things can be out of date in a year and unusable in five
"I started buying vintage pocket watches because they were cheaper than the new movements. I kept buying them because I think they look better, which is important because all of my cases have display backs. They're also available in a bunch of different finishes, colours and combinations.
"Every once in a while I use a new movement. There are skeleton movements, movements that are cut so that you can see through them, and I really love them. I bought one and put it in a watch. They're a lot more expensive, and I remember thinking 'Oh, I've really gone out on this horrible limb. I've invested hundreds of dollars into this watch. It's priced at $795. No one is going to buy it.' I sold it in two hours, to some guy who I never saw before. He came along and was like, "wow, that's great!"
Sokosh is a one-off in the modern world, let alone the watch world. Developing and producing one-off timepieces the watchmaker produces on average just three watches a week, something he keeps as central to his business and why he is keen not to try and expand too quickly. "I really feel like it's a big selling point that I'm standing there, as the guy who made the watch, talking to people. I think a lot of people really respond to that. I know a lot of people do because they tell me so."
If you are in New York in the near future, there is simply no excuse not to find the time to visit Brooklyn watches.

The Pentagon comptroller painted a sobering picture of the Defense Departmentís fiscal landscape March 28, telling members of the financial community that unless sequestration is de-triggered soon, military readiness will suffer deeply.
The continuing resolution that President Barack Obama signed into law yesterday provides slight relief in authorizing the Defense Department to shift funds between certain accounts, Undersecretary of Defense Robert F. Hale told the American Society of Comptrollers and the Association of Government Accountants in a webcast presentation.
The resolution, which provides DOD funding through September, allows the department to move more than $10 billion of its fiscal 2013 appropriation to operations and maintenance accounts. It also loosened restrictions on new weapons programs, weapons purchases and military construction projects.
ìBut it did not solve all our problemsî in funding department operations through the rest of the fiscal year, particularly in light of sequestration, Hale said.
The mandatory budget cuts that began taking effect March 1 also are having an impact across the military, he said, with deeper ones to come next month.
Anticipating fiscal challenges through the rest of fiscal 2013, which ends Sept. 30, the department took near-term actions to limit the impact, Hale said. It imposed civilian hiring freezes in all but mission-critical jobs, laid off temporary and term employees, cut back sharply on travel and conferences and ìessentially stopped all facilities maintenance at bases,î he said.
We are in triage mode in terms of getting through this year, Hale added. ìBut these near-term actions wonít solve the problems of sequestration.
Throughout the budget planning process, DOD has taken pains to support wartime operations, he said. ìYou canít leave troops in Afghanistan without the funds needed to protect themselves and wind down the war responsibility,î Hale said.
But with wartime costs far higher than anticipated two years ago, Hale said, the only way to offset them has been through deeper cuts in the base part of the budget that pays for other day-to-day activities.
ìWhen you add up all these effects, instead of an 8 percent cut, you are talking 15 to 20 percent for the remaining part of fiscal year 2013, he said. The percentage of these cuts varies by service, with the Army taking the deepest ones, he added.
Sequestration will begin cutting even more deeply next month, with Hale projecting ìa real crisisî in the operations and maintenance budget, with the potential for ìseverely adverse effects on our military readiness.
ìI think you will, unfortunately, see a number of Air Force squadrons stand down training entirely for their pilots,î he said, noting that restoring lapsed flying certifications will take time and money. ìYou will see significant training cutbacks in the Army and other services. You will see maintenance cutbacks as we stop maintaining our weapons systems.
These actions would directly affect readiness — a real concern, Hale said, particularly if military forces are called on to confront another contingency later this year. ìWe wonít have forces that are adequately ready and will either have to make the choice to deploy with less-trained forces or take extra time to get them ready,î he said.
This yearís fiscal crisis will spill into fiscal 2014, which DOD will start in ìa state of damaged readiness,î Hale said.
In addition to wartime operations, DOD will continue to prioritize other top-priority missions, including wounded warrior programs and nuclear deterrence efforts, to ensure they are fully funded, he said.
Meanwhile, planners will strive to limit cuts that affect forward-deployed forces, particularly in South Korea and other high-threat areas, and the availability of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets in critical theaters.
The budget also will protect family programs to the greatest extent possible, although Hale acknowledged that it wonít be across the board. The DOD Education Activity, for example, wonít be exempt from civilian furloughs, but DOD will limit the number of furlough days to ensure students meet the minimum required school days to qualify for a credible year, he said.
Departmentwide civilian furloughs, as unsavory as they may be, are essential in dealing with the formidable fiscal 2013 budget challenges, Hale said. Without them, DOD would have to take even deeper training and maintenance cuts, he explained.
Furloughs will be instituted consistently and fairly across the department, Hale said, with ìsome very limited exceptionsî for civilians serving in the combat zone or in jobs that directly impact life and property.
Hale expressed hope that Congress and the president can reach a deal that ends sequestration and lifts at least part of the challenge of working through ìvery difficult times.

Comments On May 12, 2015:Have several of these in my bikes. They are super light weight and more powerful than the lead acid batteries they have replaced. Wish they came with some foam or something to take up the space in the battery box. I've been using some weather strip foam from the home improvement store but the adhesive doesn't stick to the battery case really well.

Comments On Feb 23, 2015:works good, still seems to have trouble starting on COLD days. turns over fine, just not as good as a HARD kick. Never need charged. Very good battery, I was just expecting it to be 5 times the cranking power. Bottom line, always stays charged , even after sitting a long time. BAD-- it takes a special charger(not included) . I never bought one because it stays charged.

Comments On Jan 19, 2015:If you are installing this battery for weight reduction, it is great. Probably half the weight of a standard battery. However, it may fit a little different due to the post mount style. It also does not hold up as long as a standard battery does.

Comments On Jan 21, 2015:Bought a 8 cell EVO2 battery chasing weight savings but ended up with 2 failures leaving me stranded both times. Do not buy! These batteries are poorly constructed and the prorated warranty is a joke. What Ballistic won't mention is the prorated warranty will cost you as much if not more than what you paid retail since they go by MSRP. After the second failure I was done for good. Both batteries came apart internally causing a short which seemed like a fuel injection or spark issue. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Comments On Nov 25, 2014:I bought my 8-cell in Feb of 2014. Waited for warm weather and began using it May. Last week (Nov 2014) I bought Ballistic's charger to "balance charge" the battery, removed the black BMS port cover to begin the balance charging process and discovered the port was loaded with corrosion so bad that one of the 5 pins was entirely gone. Now I'm stuck with a battery I can't properly charge and a specialized charger I don't need.

Additional Comments On Oct 04, 2014:battery is super light, thats all it has going for it. It worked great from purchase in April 2012 to about June 2014, but once the battery dies and needs a charge or jump, its done pretty much for good. not to mention that the "3 Year Warranty " is ONE YOU PAY OUT OF YOU POCKET. The older the battery the more you pay torwards your replacement. Would never buy one again for my own personal use. And when you email Ballistic with an issue or problem they are one of "well its something your doing wrong" typpe of companies. NOT HAPPY AT ALL WITH THIS BATTERY/COMPANY/WARRANTY COVERAGE...!..... TECH NOTE: BALLISTIC USES A PRORATED WARRANTY.

Jim Shanahan recalled as a big-hearted giant of a man
Manchester native Jim Shanahan earned two Purple Hearts serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, but refused the second one so his mother wouldn't find out he had been wounded again.
Shanahan didn't want to cause her further worry after he was first wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, patched up and then returned to action, his daughter, Gay Shanahan, recalled. He knew if he accepted the second Purple Heart, his mother would be notified.
"He was a kid. He served valiantly," Gay Shanahan said. "He loved his country."
It's the kind of story people around New Hampshire are sharing this weekend about the longtime Democratic activist beloved as a true pillar of the community - a man universally described as kind and generous as he was successful.
Shanahan, 86, died Feb. 27 in Naples, Fla., where he and his wife, Judy, spent their winters for many years before she predeceased him.
After graduating from Dartmouth College and earning his law degree from Boston University, Shanahan joined his father's accounting firm in Manchester, which later became Deloitte & Touche, where he was managing partner for many years.
Attorney Bradford Cook remembered Shanahan for his work as a senior trustee of the Norwin & Elizabeth Bean Foundation, and the many other hats he wore in service to Manchester and New Hampshire.
"He was active in every civic organization you could think of," Cook said.
The many organizations that benefited from his dedication covered a range of interests. He was president of the New Hampshire Society of CPAs, a member of the Manchester Housing Authority, a trustee of the Derryfield School and served on the New Hampshire Lottery Commission. He was also a tour guide at the Currier Museum of Art's Frank Lloyd Wright Zimmerman House.
"Jim was one of the great leaders in the community," Cook said. "He was a lovely man."
What longtime friend and neighbor Raymond Wieczorek remembers was the time they spent together scouring a Boston baseball card show seeking to add to their collections. "He was always looking for Bobby Doerr memorabilia," said Wieczorek, a Republican and former executive councilor.
Wieczorek said his Republican Party status didn't matter to his good Democratic friend. "As well as being a smart man, he was a good human being," Wieczorek said.
Shanahan was mentor to many, according to attorney Kate Hanna, who served as legal counsel for former Gov. John Lynch.
In fact, it was Shanahan who encouraged Lynch to serve, Hanna said.
"Jim Shanahan was one of my favorite people in the world," Hanna said. "He was such an astute and smart business person while being always kind and gentle toward everyone with whom he interacted."
At a meeting to discuss Lynch's run for governor, Hanna remembered Shanahan's enthusiasm. "He said, 'Let's make this happen.'?"
Shanahan was always generous with his time and money in backing candidates he respected, she said.
"He was a giant and had such a big heart," Hanna said. "You don't always see those qualities in one person."
His son, James Shanahan III, said his father's sports memorabilia and baseball card collection - along with his love of the Red Sox - were legendary.
"You have no idea. My mother referred to the guest room as the shrine to Bobby Doerr," he said.
His father was also interested in political leaders such as Harry Truman and John Kennedy.
Shanahan Jr. said his father encouraged him and his siblings, Gay, Thomas and Elizabeth, to serve their communities as well. The Shanahan family wrote his obituary, summing up a good man's life well-lived.
"Jim's life was a series of well-hit baseballs - his influence was steady and incremental, but he made the plays that make the difference," the Shanahans wrote.

I'm an athlete and trying to find what constitutes the healthiest breakfast I can eat. I'm considering wholemeal bread, bran flakes and fruits. So far fruits seem to be the tastiest option, but are they also the healthiest?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physical Fitness Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for physical fitness professionals, athletes, trainers, and those providing health-related needs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The food pyramid(s) are basically useless for practical numbers, but you can't fault the general advice: a balanced approach is generally best.
A real nutritionist would probably be required to give exact dietary figures, and it probably depends on what kind athletics you're doing. But making sure you get enough protein (at breakfast and throughout the day) and complex carbs (especially early in the day) is probably a good bet.
Sounds to me like its a good start, but I'd also work in some protein. Your body hasnt had any in hours, the whole time you've been sleeping.
Whey protein, eggs, cheese, a little bit of lean meat, etc.
Keep what you've mentioned so far tho, sounds like some good carbs for the morning.

Gallery: LOT-EK Wins AIA New York Chapter's Design Award 2011 for APAP ...
LOT-EK's design for the Open School focused on activating the open space at the river edge. Set on a site that included an incredible sloping hill and extended water and rock path, the architects were provided an unmatched opportunity to create a beautiful space for visitors, spectators and actors to showcase their curious and artistic endeavors.
Constructed from 8 shipping containers carefully arranged, the program features three different and interconnected areas each evoking a different spatial experience mainly driven by the natural environment. At the ground level sits the amphitheater, which easily benefits from the natural slope of the site; the lower section of the incline takes advantage of the view of the rivers edge and seamlessly connects to the existing stairway, while the upper level leaves ample room for open exhibitions and community exchange against views of the park and cityscape. The second story of the building has been lifted 3-meters above ground and encompasses each of the 8 containers. Here one can find a large multipurpose room, exhibition space, artist-in-residence studios and ample research space. Large glass windows sit on the ends of each container providing varied views across the north-east and south-west axis.
Overall a striking design given its colorful and graphic nature, what in fact makes this a dynamic construction is LOT-EK's choice to form an angled overhang at the top of the structure. Not only does the tilt provide for a lively and interesting aesthetic, but by creating a window puncture at the top of the tilt, in addition to a deck, the architects create a unique user experience that draws upon carefully framed light and inimitable views of both nature and urban life intermingling.

logicarch, I disagree with your observations. With the exception of three support beams, one of which is an admittedly beefy braced frame, this thing is all shipping container.
I do have one complaint, however: if the title of the article is accurate, shouldn't we be seeing photographs of the finished building? This looks far from open; they are in the early to mid stages of construction from the visual evidence.
Cool project, though.

A exciting aesthetic, but it looks like there is little left of the original containers. It seems like the shipping container recycling is more rhetoric than reality in this project.

Celebrity gossip websites ran a story last week claiming that Whitney Houston is "broke as a joke." They even quoted an unnamed (of course) source claiming that Whitney would be homeless if not for the generosity of friends. She called someone to ask for $100, the story goes. If true, that would be quite a fall from financial grace for the singer who signed a $100 million record deal in 2001.

Gail Fisher's Dog Tracks: Don't skip the leash unless a dog will respond to commands
Last weekend, we visited family in New York City. My nephew, a dedicated marathon runner, had just come back from a "short" 10-mile run to the George Washington Bridge and back. Sometimes he runs in Central Park early in the morning. He was telling me that in the early morning, dogs are allowed to be exercised off-leash and are not confined in fenced dog areas as long as they're under control - the important word being "control."
New Hampshire has a sensible statewide "control law" rather than a leash law. Under this statute, a dog must be under the "control" of the owner or custodian. What does "control" mean in this context? To me, as a dog trainer, it means that the dog is responsive to audible and/or visual cues or commands, the most important ones being that the dog comes when called and stays when told. It also means that the dog doesn't impinge upon the rights and free movement of others, such as other dog owners, runners, walkers and bike riders.
Years ago, I was walking our then four dogs on a dog-friendly beach in Maine. Shura, a 160-pound English mastiff, wasn't friendly with other dogs, with the obvious exception of her "siblings." As we walked up the beach, the dogs were running in and out of the surf having a wonderful time. Off in the distance, I noticed two golden retrievers that were racing toward us. "Please call your dogs!" I hollered to the woman walking far behind them. "It's OK. ... They're friendly!" she yelled back. "Mine's not!" I warned, as I called Shura to my side to put her on leash and protected her from having to deal with the fast-approaching golden onslaught. Fortunately, the goldens rushed up to my other dogs, who interacted with them until the owner got close enough to get her dogs away from mine.
This scenario is representative of the problem responsible dog owners, runners, bike riders and the like often have with owners who don't have their dogs under control. The owners of the offending dog (or dogs) always seem to believe that because their dog is wonderful (of course, isn't everyone's?), the rest of the world will both agree and tolerate - even welcome - their dog's intrusion. Not so!
My nephew said he has tried different strategies - ignoring the dogs and running on or slowing to a walk. In both cases, he's had his legs nipped at and his running pants torn. He has also tried stopping altogether, which is the best approach.
The best strategy if you're running and a dog starts to chase you is to stop and stand still, sideways to the dog, looking at the ground near the dog rather than directly at the dog's face. This posture communicates that you are calm and non-threatening, and most dogs recognize it as such. Unfortunately, even standing still, my nephew has been jumped on by dogs - something he shouldn't have to put up with.
A runner should be able to enjoy a good run without having to put up with out-of-control dogs bothering him. Responsibility for controlling the dog lies with the owner or custodian. This means that before letting a dog off-leash, the dog's owner should be confident that if they see a runner, biker or any other person, dog or animal, the owner knows he or she can successfully call the dog away from the attraction, and the dog will respond. Short of that level of training, keep a dog on-leash.

So now is this a case of the Jury believing Clemens, NOT believing Mcnamee, Or just giving a big "EF YOU" to the gov't??
i don't think there is ever a good reason to drop your pants and expose your ass to another man..
2014 ladies lounge entry:ariel meredith
who cares...everyone knows the guy was juiced up in a juiced up era
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Juiced up pitcher throwing to juiced up hitters. Cancels out IMO. Same thing for the reverse as well.
It was definitely worth it for the government to spend millions trying to convict Clemens though. Clearly this case was a pressing issue that needed to be dealt with. An athlete lying about PEDs? The nerve.
We pay taxes for that ****...

I'm working on a WordPress site we have for some software my lab is developing. What I'd like to do is add a page that would allow collaborating groups to upload their data to us for testing, but that would be hidden from anyone else visiting the site (i.e. the collaborators would have to be logged in to see the page). Ideally they wouldn't see the dashboard when logged in, but that's not too much of an issue at the moment. Are there any plugins that would make this easy?

Faculty Permission required. This course is offered in either ALL or AEGIS and is a working seminar intended to assist students in the development of their proposals or in the data analysis and writing of their findings.
ORLD 8900: Dissertation Advisement in Adult Education
Individual advisement on doctoral dissertations. Fee to equal 3 points at current tuition rate for each term. For requirements, see section in catalog on Continuous Registration for Ed.D./Ph.D. degrees.
ORLD 6800: Workshop in Adult Education
Workshop in Critical and Adult Basic Literacy This course explores issues surrounding adult literacy and adult basic literacy from a critical theory and educator's perspective. Critical reading of representative literature and an in-field project offer further insight into contexts and a critical analysis of myths surrounding literacy and illiteracy.
ORLD 6903 and 6918 Advanced Research Seminar
This is the second and fourth course in the AEGIS research sequence and builds on the students' experience in the prior research seminar in two ways: 1) To refine their thinking in terms of more rigorously conceptualizing their emerging dissertation research problem and research questions, and; 2) To begin developing a research design that will become the basis for a more complete pilot study in the coming semester. The course treats both qualitative and mixed methods approaches. The outcome of the final research course is intended to be a draft of the dissertation proposal.
ORLD 6914, ORLD 6915 & 6916 Learning Communities Sequence
This is a three course sequence required of AEGIS students in their second year of study. The course explores dominant discourses in the field,questions of exclusion and inclusion in the discipline, and the formation, nurturing and issues in learning communities. The sequence is delivered first semester face-to-face, second virtually, and final summer face-to-face. In addition to exploring Learning Communities and Communities of Practice students explore different action research methodologies for an applied project conducted in the Spring. During the first Fall semester students prepare think pieces, maintain a journal and post to threaded discussions generative questions and responses to the various readings. The collaborative inquiry groups then formed are charged with identifying a problem, designing a research methodology, and preparing and reporting findings developed for presentation in the final summer. These research products conform to criteria required for submission to a peer reviewed journal or as a prospectus for an experiential session at an academic conference. During the virtual semester students are also involved in reflecting on group work, individual patterns, meta-patterns and sharing reflective pieces on line. They also participate in on-line threaded discussion about readings and issues of marginality and discursive patterns. In the final Summer students not only present these pieces but they use a journal review form to evaluate the research products of the other study groups. This form requires feedback in the nature of the relevance of the project to the audience, the strengths and weaknesses in design of the methodology, the significance of the findings and finally a rating scale indicating accept for publication, accept with recommendations for changes or reject. This simulation prepares students for academic writing, cosponsored research and preparation for contributing to the overall discipline of adult education.
ORLD 6800: Capstone Course
This workshop is offered in the final summer of the AEGIS academic sequence and helps prepare participants to gain closure and ready themselves for entry into the profession. Course content revolves around revisiting earlier writing on identity and philosophy of practice, understanding group dynamics of the learning community, making curricular recommendations for the program, giving interpersonal feedback to each other on presentation, teamwork, and facilitation skills as well as on scholarship. Students reflect and document on how their professional practice has been impacted by the program, the skills they've gained, the skills they still want to learn and competencies they'd like to apply. Group reflection revolves around patterns that have surfaced, future facilitation of research, and contributions they would like to make to the discipline. Participants also consider marketing of the program, and envision future alternatives for the program as well as themselves in the discipline. Dependent on the skills and interests, participants may share with others meaningful work they are pursuing, research agendas on which they would like to collaborate, and means for giving back to the field and the institution and future scholars. Students also participate in a collective "exit interview."

V8 Trike Frame
I don't have any prints on paper, just in my head. I started one 20 years ago. I used some flat bar to mock up the angles of the frame and the head tube. i think the frame was 60 degrees. I custom made a head tube on the lathe. My buddy had one with an Alum V8 Buick motor on it...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

V-8 Trike Frame
I am a life member in the "BTW" Brothers of Third Wheel, all trikers about 5,000+ members world wide go to this URL and check it out, get on the forum and ask, I don't know of any but if no one there knows any,,, I would bet you will not find one.
I am currently building a new trike out of 1.75 DOM with a V-6 Ford, auto and Independent rear suspension out of a 89 Cougar. Keep in mind the V-8 needs to be supported, and the rake and trail need to be right, but tons of good people that will help you over at the BTW.
Good luck
that sounds COOL

As a long time motorcyclist, I've been to numerous Harley and other gatherings. Boss Hogg usually has a booth and I believe there is a website.
If I were to build a V-8 Trike, I would spend extra time on the front fork and the steering head. There's a lot more weight on the front end than a standard motorcycle. It might even be a good idea to design a special fork for the trike sufficient to take the weight and still permit easy steering and shock absorption. Special attention to the rake and trail settings would be very important to prevent wobbles and hard steering.
One nice thing about it is youll be doing a lot of welding. It would be a perfect job for some MIG and Stick ( with Miller machines, of course. LOL)

I believe the bikes you're referring to are actually called "Boss Hoss" as opposed to "Boss Hogg"s, although their first model was called something like "The Boss Hawg" as I recall. I knew a guy in Key West with one with a GM350 in it. Anyway, here's the link for their trikes page:
I didn't see anything about buying the frames though. The absolute BEST trike I've ever seen (okay, let me rephrase that: my FAVORITE trike frame, since I'm not all that much of a trike fan) is the one made by Exile Cycles, and you can indeed download their price list in MSWord format for any/all parts you may need.

V8 Trike frame.
Hi, I don't know if you have what you want yet, but if not I'm happy to help if I can.
I built a V8 trike using a Leyland P76 engine and Trans. Jaguar XJ6 Diff.
I built the frame, front end and body.
I was told when I built it that the best rake for the front end was 47 deg.
I used this and it's fine. I made a springer front end with the front set of forks bent to shape from inch and threequarter shaft, the rear set of forks are made from two inch x three eights wall thickness tube. Tripple trees are made from inch and a half med tensile plates. Main chassis is made from 2inch med black pipe. I'm happy to sketch any parts you may still require.
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Then I can send you a photo, As I don't know how to send thru this forum.
My trike has been in many bike shows and won many trophys. It's not like any other trikes you may have seen.
welcome to the show.
now you got us all drooling for pic's.
if you want to send them to me i will post them here for you. or if you use the manage attachments button under where you type your message you will need to reduce the pic size to under 100 kbs . if you don't have a good re-sizer i'll be happy to do it for you. if you are running microsoft XP they have an excellent re-sizer in the power toys section. here
Image Resizer
i have used it for several years now with great results and no problems.
one way or another you gotta show off the pic's.thanks for the help
hope i helped

Test ID: C5DCU
C5-DC Acylcarnitine, Quantitative, Urine
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of patients with an abnormal newborn screen showing elevations of C5-DC
Diagnosis of glutaric aciduria type 1 deficiency
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Evaluation of patients with an abnormal newborn screen showing elevations of C5-DC. The results are not informative when patient is receiving L-carnitine supplements.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
An isolated elevation of glutarylcarnitine (C5-DC) in plasma or newborn screening blood spots is related to a diagnosis of glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA-1), also known as glutaric acidemia type 1. GA-1 is caused by a deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase. Follow-up testing is necessary for confirmation. Urinary excretion of C5-DC is a specific biochemical marker of GA-1 that appears to be elevated even in low excretors, affected patients with normal levels of glutaric acid in urine.
GA-1 is characterized by bilateral striatal brain injury leading to dystonia, often a result of acute neurologic crises triggered by illness. Many affected individuals also have macrocephaly. Dietary treatment and aggressive interventions during time of illness are recommended to try to prevent or minimize neurologic injury, which is most likely to occur in infancy and early childhood. Prevalence is approximately 1 in 100,000 individuals.
The American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) newborn screening work group published diagnostic algorithms for the follow-up of infants who had a positive newborn screening result. For more information, see URL: http://www.acmg.net.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<1.54 millimoles/mole creatinine
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Elevated excretion of C5-DC is a specific biochemical marker of glutaric aciduria type 1 that is elevated in affected patients, apparently even in low excretors or those affected individuals with normal levels of glutaric acid in urine.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The results of urine acylcarnitines are not informative when the patient is receiving L-carnitine supplements.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
