like this one
i want the deck to be 102" wide though and have the fenders heavy enough to drive a pickup over and then ill just make some wood sides i can take off
oh yeah i want enough room in the fenders to get a 265/75-16 or 285 tire in it since thats whats on the trucks so when i get new truck tires i got a new set for the trailer!! and something wider to float through the pastures
and im gonna make it flat with no dovetail, i want it as close to the ground as possible its gonna get used for haulin hay and firewood
im goin back and forth between torsion axles or air bags, if i can find a good price on some 4k or 5k bags ill probably go that route so i can raise the ride height if im in rough country
but so far it looks like i can buy a trailer and modify it for less!!

That trailer went for 3K? That sounds like a deal. I don't think I could build it for cheaper. Isn't there a registration hassle with a home made trailer due to the weight rating? I'm thinking about buying one like that now.Mike

yeah its a good price on it. the only thing for me is having something with the wider deck and i would like torsion or airbag suspension under it. plus i want to have the extra room in the fenders for the 265 or 285/75-16e tires too and i already have a jack, coupler, wheels and tires.
here its easy to get a home built trailer registered they will give you your tags based on what the axles are rated for and you have to get an inspection on it but thats only $12
ive had thoughts of just buyin one from them and addin onto the deck and workin overthe fenders but cant make up my mind. also i havent called them yet to see if i could drop off the parts i already have (there brand new) except for the wheels and tires but there off my horse trailer from when i put aluminum wheels on it to match the truck
im guessin its probably atleast $1500 in steel about a grand in axles dependin on which way i go and a few hundred on woodDYNASTY 200DX

When you are creating the event, there is an option that says "Invite members of the host group to this event", but I'm not sure that it is possible to do so after the event has been created -- the option is no longer there when you go to edit the event or invite friends. I think you will have to invite the group members right from the start when creating the event, or else select them manually afterward.

The Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview PC is kind of like the anti-iPad. And we're not complaining. The Live Tile interface is more dynamic. You can write on it with a pen. And it boots even faster. But you can't buy this slate. It was designed to let developers sink their teeth into Windows 8 to start cranking out apps.
Powered by a second-gen Core i5 processor, the Samsung Developer Preview PC also comes with a host of accessories, including a Bluetooth keyboard and docking station. We spent some time with this device to get a taste of Windows 8 and to see how the hardware stacks up to other slates we've tested.
Read on to get the specs and our hands-on impressions of this exciting preview hardware. And don't forget to check out our videos and massive Windows 8 gallery.
CPU: 1.6-GHz 2nd Generation Intel Core i5-2467M
Memory: 4GB of RAM
Display: 11.6-inch Samsung Super PLS 1366 x 768
Storage: 64GB SSD
Wireless: 802.11n, AT&T 3G
Ports: microSD, microHDMI, USB, headphone
Weight: 2 pounds
Thickness: .5 inches
It's a good thing that this is a Preview PC, because we don't imagine many people schlepping around this tablet. While the 11.6-inch screen is bright and offers wide viewing angles, the device is too heavy to use comfortably for extended periods. At 2 pounds, the Developer Preview PC weighs much more than the iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (1.3 pounds). It's also .2 inches thicker. Also, while the back has a nice brushed metal look, the left side creaked in our hand when we picked the slate up.
The front of the Windows 8 Preview PC sports a single Home button, and the right side houses the power button and a screen lock button, along with a SIM Card slot. A full-size USB port, headphone jack, volume controls, microHDM port, and power jack line the left side. Up top you'll find the microSD slot, and there's a docking connector and stereo speakers down below. The tablet comes with front- and back-facing cameras, but only the front camera seemed to be working (which we could use to update our user tile photo).
The Samsung Developer Preview PC proved responsive when navigating the Metro UI with a finger and when using touch-friendly apps like the IE 10 browser. Moving an app is as easy as pressing and holding it with one finger and then panning around the screen to find a a home for it with another finger. We also appreciate the ability to snap applications to either side of the display for side-by-side multitasking.
However, if our left thumb touched the screen (just for holding the device) while using our right finger to get around, the menus would sometimes scroll wildly. We're assuming this issue will be fixed. Pinch to zoom worked fluidly in the browser; it was almost too fast. Copy and paste worked fairly well, too. We just tapped the screen then dragged two circles to highlight the text we wanted to copy.
Some features are not yet working on this platform, such as Semantic Zoom. This allows you to zoom out on the homescreen to easily move groups of apps around and rename them.
Using touch in Desktop mode was a challenge in the preview version of Windows 8 on this device. While Microsoft has improved the accuracy, you need to double tap to open items and the touch keyboard doesn't pop up automatically when touch a text field (like the address bar in the desktop version of IE 10). Tapping small links is also problematic, so most will want to stick with a mouse and keyboard or pen in this mode.
The Windows 8 Developer Preview PC comes with a host of touch-friendly apps that run at full screen, including Stocks, Weather, and Headlines (News). All of these apps sport a sleek Metro UI that's reminiscent of Windows Phone. We especially like the ability to create a mash-up of news stories in the Headlines app using the Magazinify feature. Tweet@rama is another well-designed app that lets you see your Twitter timeline on the left and post updates in the middle of the screen.
Other fun diversions include Zero Gravity, a puzzle game involving a space ship, Paintplay (finger painting), Piano (what it sounds like), and Picstream (streaming photos from Flickr). We also like the Flash Cards app, which is great for kids.
What's missing at this stage are some core apps that tie into Microsoft's cloud services, such as Calendar, People, Photos, and Messaging.
No, this is not a tablet you can buy, but we were curious to see how well the Preview PC stacks up to other Windows devices. In Geekbench, which measures overall CPU performance, the Core k5-powered Samsung tablet scored 2,932, which is above the ultraportable notebook category average (2,476). As a point of comparison, the ViewSonic ViewPad 10 Windows/Android tablet, which has a 1.6-GHz Atom CPU, notched a lowly 890 on the same test.
There is a price for this speed, however. The Samsung Developer Preview PC has a very large and loud fan that constantly hummed in the background. Granted, this slate is just for preview/development purposes, but the noise is very distracting. On a few occasions the Samsung device became unresponsive, so we had to reboot the machine, but that's to be expected with such early hardware and software.
Thanks to some major improvements under the hood, Windows 8 devices will boot much faster than Windows 7 PCs. In our tests the Samsung Preview PC took about 17 seconds to go from a cold start to the lock screen, which is pretty impressive. It took the device a couple of 2-3 seconds to wake from sleep, however, slower than the instant-on feel of the iPad and Android-based tablets. Hopefully this time will improve as we get closer to launch.
We didn't have a chance to test the Preview PC's battery life yet, but we suspect that it will last 4 to 5 hours based on anecdotal usage. ARM-based tablets and slates using Intel's upcoming system on a chip should offer much better endurance.
The stylus isn't dead yet. The Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview PC came with an optional stylus, which you can use for navigation but also in pen-optimized apps like Ink Pad. You can take notes, make highlights, and convert your scribbles to text. The inking capability was smooth in our tests, much more fluid than the HTC Flyer. We could also use the pen in Paintplay app for more colorful projects. What Windows 8 needs is Livescribe-like app that combines written notes with voice recording.
Here's a look at the Windows 8 touch keyboard and pen input.
In addition to a digital pen, the Samsung Preview PC came with a Bluetooth keyboard and docking station, both of which complement each other well. The keyboard was easy to pair with the tablet, and it offered good tactile feedback, though sometimes it took the device a few seconds to catch up to our strokes. The dock includes an additional USB port, HDMI output, Ehternet connectivty, and power. It props up the slate so that this device feels more like a laptop when you use the dock and keyboard together.
Is the Sasmung Developer Preview PC the future of tablets? Certainly not in terms of its design. It's just too heavy and large for most people to tote around. In addition, the fan got annoyingly loud, which is what happens when you try to cram a Core i5 CPU into a slate. Focusing on the hardware this early in the game though is a mistake, because we expect much lighter and more efficient Windows 8 tablets to surface before launch.
The good news is Microsoft's Metro interface looks sleek and works pretty well even at this early stage of the game. And it will get much better once Windows Live-connected apps become available to preview. The full-screen apps also show promise, though we'd like to see what happens when big-name developers throw their full weight behind the platform.
However, we got thrown off every time we entered desktop mode. It's just not the same experience as the Metro UI, and it's not nearly as touch friendly at this stage.
In short, the Samsung Developer Preview PC is a solid first step for Windows 8, but there's still a lot of progress that needs to be made.
So remind me again which drug-addled hipster made the decision that a tablet must be thin, light and powered by phone hardware? I'd fork out $2k for this bad boy in a heartbeat – Samsung, I hope you trawl random blog comment streams for product release ideas >_>
Protip: This is the Samsung Series 7 Slate PC. Literally, it's the exact same hardware. So yes, it is a production model and not a preview model. Ships 2 October 2011.
If this is an open system that will run office I would buy it. I'm sick of closed systems that won't run competitors software.
Here are my plans for the Samsung Windows 8 Preview PC.
First, this is information technology. That means, despite the rising aversion to entering standard text, I'll need a keyboard. I want to be ready to record ideas in text, do email without being crippled, and so on, so I'd better have that keyboard with me most if not all of the time. Nice that it's bluetooth, so no wires. but I'm going to want to balance that keyboard on my lap (or even my chest in bed) or on an airplane tray and I don't want it sliding off in one direction while the tablet slides off in another, so… OK, a piece or two of duct tape should handle that. Now that I have the keyboard attached at the bottom of the tablet, I'm set, except… it's sort of clunky to move from place to place… AHA! I'll just fold the keyboard up over the tablet, making it handy to carry and protecting the screen, and just another flap of duct tape will keep the two pieces from flopping apart as I carry them. Now I'm all set: I sit down or lie down, pull up the flap, pull down the keyboard, position it on the top of my lap, i.e. on my lap top… Hmmm… I'm getting some deja vu here… What does this remind me of??? Well, I can only hope that Samsung gets the idea and delivers a tablet with the keyboard already attached at the bottom edge, with a nifty way to fold it up agaist the screen and snap it safely in place… Again, that sense of deja vu…. ???
Not portable?
Try carrying around an old Toshiba 286 green screen and tell me that.
If you want something very light to carry around, get a phone.
Tried Win 8 on my PC and its fast and pretty but a bit strange..
4-5 hours looks very good to me – a full PC on the road not just a portable browser.. hence the docking station.
I don't think this is a tablet its a new category ..
Very interesting .
future is here
This tablet gives me hope that in a year or so I might actually be able to get a tablet that can replace my laptop and wacom and run programs such as zbrush (a stylus/pen is essential for this) and maya. I would like to think that manufacturers aren't just focusing on the Ipad market, as a 3D artist I have been a little concerned over the focus on people who twitter, facebook and email. Fingers crossed a tablet with a core i7, 8gb ram, a reasonable amount of GPU speed and ram somes on the market.

university-level one-year certificate.
The purpose of the centre is to prepare students directly for employment in their chosen field upon graduation. Or, in some programs they may choose to "ladder" their UFV credits into the second year of a two-year diploma or four-year degree program at UFV or another post-secondary institution. There are no tuition fees for CTC programs, so students get a year of
university credit at no cost!
Programs currently offered through the Career Technical Centre include:
• Applied Business Technology certificate
• Architectural Drafting Technician certificate
• Automotive Service Technician certificate
• Carpentry certificate
• Construction Electrician certificate
• Health and Human Services certificate
• Welding certificates
Program outlines

It's every pet parent's worst nightmare—temporarily leaving your pets with a trusted caregiver only to find out that things have gone terribly wrong. That's exactly what happened to one New York City family. Late last month, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) Agents responded to a call from a panic-stricken woman: She had just returned home from an extended vacation only to find her beloved cats were missing.
In a shocking twist, our investigation revealed that the pet sitter, a trusted friend of the family, had purposely abandoned the animals.
"He simply didn't want to take care of them anymore," says Howard Lawrence, Senior Director of Operations for the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement department. "And that is just not acceptable."
Video surveillance shows two men transporting the cats from the home in carriers and dumping them in a nearby alley. A witness has also stepped up to corroborate that he saw the incident occur.
Rafael Lugo, 59, and his friend Robert Ramos, 55,were both charged with two counts of animal abandonment. If convicted, they face up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine. To date, the cats have not yet been found.
"Trust was severely violated in this case, and a family is now beside themselves over the loss of their pets," says Lawrence. "We hope that these two individuals will be held accountable for their actions."
Anyone with information about the cats' whereabouts is asked to please contact the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement Hotline: 877-THE-ASPCA (843-2772). Join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #PetSitterBust

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
So say you have a bad drive, oops i ment to say... So say the wind changed on you, and you land in that nasty brush where there is no room to throw you everyday shot.
What would you throw, if all are an option to get to the basket 120 feet away.
Big step out anhyzer Forhand
Standing backwards step out Anhyzer Backhand
Forhand Roller/Thumb Roller
Thumber, Tomahawk
Keep in mind this crazy brush will also any shot other then normal forhand or back hand.
I really love to throw the the high forhand anhyzer
Views: 132
tomahawk seems to get me out of a bad situation more than anything else. But I am a noob noob=lot of bad drives
All of the above. Backhand stepout anny is my fav.
Same here. If I can backhand it I will
It really depends on the situation but lately I have been absolutely nailing the forehand anhyzer shot with a Star TeeBird in the 50 to 150 foot range. I hit one the other day that was dead center. That disc is magic!
I throw the shot that gets closest to the pin :)
120'? Forehand anny with my putter. SNAPPP!
I'm also an 'all of the above' kind of guy. When in situations like this I tend to throw forehand anhyzers and thumbers equally often, with the 'patent pending' backhand coming in a close third.
I'm no noob, but I still get plenty of trouble to keep me practicing these shots more often than I'd like :).
Depends on what's in front of me. Sometimes there is no shot. Use what you know for that specific situation.
Sidearm roller under all the trees . . .
teebirds r magical
I get better "d" with a forehand from a standstill.

A couple of hours ago (well 3 hrs ago) I was sitting in front of my computer, and bored with that, I decided to see what I could brew up in a couple of hours. Don't know why I decided on a belt buckle, but this is the end result in the photo.
I started with a piece of .062 stainless from my scrap bin that I rough ground to shape on my belt grinder and then cupped to shape, before I tigged my name (yeah I know) on the front with the border also tigged with 309L. I then went over the border with my tig and a higher heat setting to give it the distressed appearance that I desired. I then touched it up on my belt grinder to high-light the edges. The handgun casting on the buckle is a pin that I soldered in place. The back has the normal hardware silver soldered in place to mount the buckle on my favorite belt.
So, thats how I passed the evening!

Easier than you think
Comment:After buying this I had 3 electricians give me estimated from 820 to 1300 dollars to install it I have very little experience with home wiring and none in the breaker box, so I was hesitant to say the least about doing it myself I watched instal videos on youtube (3 or 4), anmd decided to give it a go The hardest part of the install was mounting the unit to the house One item to keep in mind you can not install on an arc fault breaker, they will trip once you main power come back on or even if you are just testing the unit, I called tech support before I started to be sure I could hook them up or not and they highly recommend that you do not connect to the arc fault breakers at all Watch the videos, you can do it if I can, 1hour 45 minutes later I was all done, read the directions, watch the videos, take your time turn off each breaker as you work on themVery little experienceCalifornia Foothills

The story was corrected on May 24, 2013.
Nikkia Carter doesn't mind going across the Potomac River in search of clients, contacts and information on landing said clients.
Only instead of her going from Maryland to Virginia, as many believe is the usual case, the CEO of King George, Va., information technology company Carter-McGowan Services was traveling the other way. Carter was among the almost 900 business executives and government contracting officials participating in the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce's 10th annual GovConNet Procurement Conference last Friday in Rockville.
"I'll go wherever I can find the help and the business," Carter said. "I like the match-making sessions with contracting officials here. I hope to get some more contracts this way."
The competition for jobs between Maryland and Virginia has long been intense and shows little signs of slowing. Before recognizing companies at the Alliance for Workplace Excellence's recent annual luncheon in North Bethesda, Steven A. Silverman detailed results of a recent study.
The director of Montgomery County's Department of Economic Development said figures from Economic Modeling Specialists International showed Montgomery added almost 25,000 jobs between 2010 and 2012, a 3.9 percent growth rate.
"That was No. 1 in the region, beating out that other county over the river," Silverman said, referring to Fairfax County's job growth in that time being only 3.6 percent.
Another recent report released by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ranked Maryland tops in the nation for innovation and entrepreneurship, which relates to areas such as business startups, academic research and development and job growth among science, technology and math fields.
But Maryland was near the bottom in business climate at No. 43, similar to the state's positions in that category in several other studies. That related to areas such as business taxes and costs tacked on through government mandates and regulations. Virginia, a key regional competitor for jobs, ranked No. 3 in innovation and No. 16 in business climate.
"Different studies look at different measures," Silverman said. "We are high in some areas and not that high in others. I think overall we stack up well against the states we compete against for jobs."
In 2010, Montgomery lost a high-profile competition to Falls Church, Va., for the headquarters of Fortune 500 defense giant Northrop Grumman. Neighboring Prince George's County is now in another high-profile battle with Virginia and Washington, D.C., to land the new FBI headquarters.
While it's great that Maryland ranks highly in innovation, the continued low marks on taxes and business climate should give officials pause, said Christopher Carpenito, board chairman-elect of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce and CFO of Gaithersburg-based Hess Construction and Engineering Services.
The latest dealings with a stormwater fee — which is forced by a federal mandate — makes it challenging, especially for small businesses, Carpenito said.
"The fees and taxes become cumulative after awhile," he said. "They may seem small, but they add up. This is money that small companies need to reinvest in their businesses."
Montgomery County is in the process of streamlining permit, plan review and inspection processes that are expected to cut as much as one year from development and construction projects. This would not only save time but major costs, Carpenito said.
Some extra costs cannot be avoided, he said. He was happy to see the transportation funding bill pass during the recent state legislative session, even though it might bring some more pain at the pump.
"Virginia puts a lot of funds into transportation infrastructure," Carpenito said. "We would have continued to fall further behind if we had not found a way to invest in our infrastructure."
Numerous local companies have opened offices in other states and countries to support contracts they win there. Hess recently opened an office in Richmond, Va., after winning some big contracts. Bethesda-based Design to Delivery, a consulting firm that specializes in helping other businesses and organizations navigate the government procurement process, just opened an office in Indiana to support its U.S. Navy client.
The new office is not related to business climate, said Molly K. Gimmel, co-founder and executive vice president of Design To Delivery. The company has remained in Bethesda since forming in 2001 and has its roughly 50 employees spread across seven states.
"The climate is fine here," Gimmel said.
Correction: The story originally gave the wrong location of Northrop Grumman's new headquarters.

On the Traces of Sticky Rice
26 Jun 13
Alessandro Scarpa
Mayu Ino works in Vietnam for the Japanese NGO Seed to Table and is an old friend of Slow Food and Terra Madre. Thanks to her, we were able to visit the food community of Tan Lac organic rice producers in the northern Vietnamese province of Hoa Bin.
The car battled for an hour through the inexorable flood of motorcycles that fills the roads of Hanoi before finally emerging into open countryside. On both sides stretched endless rice paddies, filled with people working, as it was the season for planting out the seedlings.
After another hour's drive, we stopped for a restorative Vietnamese coffee at the base of the first hills. A beverage is made locally from fermented rice and sold in jars of 5 to 7 liters, which come with meter-long reeds used as straws. Also at the bar, we see rice spirits with toads and scorpions steeping inside the bottles.
Back on the road, we start to climb through a varied landscape, with tropical jungle alternating with rice paddies. The last unpaved stretch takes us a thousand meters above sea level. The mountaintops are wrapped in fog. In Nam Son, we find Thuong and her husband, the village chief Truyen and his deputy Lung, the coordinator of the young growers and other rice producers.
They explain to us that in Vietnam and throughout Southeast Asia, over and above the many different rice varieties, there are two main categories: "normal" rice and sticky rice. Production in mountainous areas is mostly concentrated on the latter.
Sticky black Oi rice, with its very limited production and excellent quality, is an ideal candidate for joining the Ark of Taste. Apart from its delicious flavor, it also has therapeutic properties, curing stomachaches and helping to restore strength to women who have just given birth. Mayu Ino is working with a Japanese university to scientifically test these characteristics, and she is also promoting the product and looking for distributors in the capital Hanoi, which has 6 million inhabitants.
As well as the Oi variety, the growers also cultivate Ban, a white sticky rice, and Dan Bac Tam, a white normal rice. Thuong, who has been to Turin for Terra Madre twice, coordinates around 50 producers from the local Muong ethnic group, the fourth largest of Vietnam's 54 ethnicities. The mountain paddies, whose colors range from emerald to chartreuse to gold, are impressive works of engineering and hydraulics. Compared to the fields in the plains, they require twice as much work for a smaller harvest. All of the rice varieties are grown organically and harvested twice a year.
