Bend Parks and Rec offers Pet Parade safety tips
Shade, water key; don't let them suffer in heat
While tradition calls for fun at the 4th of July Pet Parade, the Bend weather forecast is for a high of 87 degrees on the holiday. As parade host, Bend Park & Recreation District wants parade participants' pets to remain healthy and safe in the warm temperature.
"Warm weather can bring a danger to our pets that we do not always consider. Heat strokes are a sad but common occurrence here in Central Oregon where we have numerous days above 90 degrees," said Dr. Chad Moles, DVM, of Animal Emergency Center of Central Oregon in Bend.
"Dogs' main cooling mechanism is through respiration or panting and they do not handle heat as well as humans do. Inadequate shade/cover and/or hydration on a hot day can put even the healthiest pet at risk for overheating," said Dr. Moles.
Tips for keeping your pet comfortable at the Pet Parade include:
• Before and after the parade, find a cool, shaded place to rest.
• Do not arrive too early: staging begins at 9:30 am; the parade starts at 10:00 am.
• Provide plenty of fresh water, available at parade staging area and en route – just look for the orange flags. Bring a water bottle for you and your pet as well.
• Allow dogs to cool off in the water pools at the staging area.
• Keep an eye on your pet's foot pads for overheating or soreness.
• Do not leave your pet in the car, not even for a minute.
• Learn to recognize the signs of heat stroke: Faster, heavier panting; excessive thirst and/or drooling with hanging strands of saliva; increased pulse/ heartbeat; barking, whining or signs of agitation; dark-colored gums or tongue; glassy eyes; elevated body temperature and staggering, weakness, collapse, seizures and/or unconsciousness.
Dr. Moles warns that obese and long-haired animals hold a greater risk to heat stroke due to added insulation. He also notes that heat strokes can commonly occur in brachycephalic dog breeds (ie. Pugs, Bulldogs, boxers, etc.) as their pug-noses offer a less efficient respiratory and cooling mechanism.
If you think your pet will be challenged by warm temperatures at the parade, BPRD and Dr. Moles encourage you to leave your pet at home and possibly bring a stuffed animal instead.
Before, during and after the parade, Dr. Moles will be on site at the staging area by the Information/First Aid booth. If you think your pet may be having a heat stroke at the parade, it is advised to move the animal to the Information Booth shaded area immediately and request assistance. If at any time you believe your pet may be suffering from heat stroke, contact your regular veterinarian or the Animal Emergency Center of Central Oregon at (541) 385-9110.
For additional information on the Pet Parade, visit www.bendparksandrec.org or call Bend Park & Recreation District at (541) 389-7275.
And when it's all done, share a few of your favorite parade pics with us via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Kilyin, Dec 13, 2012.
That's a fumble.
I really hope the Eagles win. Lower draft pick, Andy stays, false sense of security, and maybe they keep their high priced, under performing players. I hope they think they are finally turning the corner, just like last year.
No way Andy Reid stays, even if they win out. Philly fans will nuke the city.
I'm gonna laugh if the Eagles beat the Bengals, one of the hottest teams in the AFC... well they were until the Cowboys beat them, maybe they aren't now.
Adam Jones re erting to his Pacman days
Pacman shows up
Bengals team losing to the Eagles reserves. SMH
Good a tie. I was thinking blowout for a minute. Last Thursday game hope its a Good one!
Even if you are right, although, I think its better than zero chance Andy stays, two out of three aint bad. The point is I want them to live in purgatory.
it's amazing how a team's offense can motivate the defense
Eagles are on a roll!!! sack by Cole
They don't look like they have quit to me.
Funny thing. If you listen to the Bengles radio shows they were absolutely SHOCKED that the Bengals lost to Dallas. Most of the fans calling in agreed. They acted liked (pre and post game) they were 12-0 going into our game. To them, Dallas was an insignifant game they had to play, enroute to their rematch with the Steelers. Amazing, why don't our local media hate opposing teams......instead of us....hmmm.
Why do so many FBs fall down running the ball? Is it that hard to find a FB who can run and chew gum at the same time?
Tate with a Dez-like punt return
Must be. MOOOOOOOOSE.
lollll another turnover for the Bungles
lol Dulton.
Dalton seems to have zero pocket awareness.
Redhead with fumble #2!!!!!

Laurent Koscielny is back on French soil this evening as Arsenal take on Marseille in the Champions League.
The former Lorient centre back sat down with Arsenal Player before the Group F game to discuss his memories of the Stade Velodrome and more.
Click on the link to watch the video interview or read the full transcript below.
Laurent, what can we expect from a trip to Marseille?
It is a big stadium with very good supporters but they have closed a stand because they are building ahead of Euro 2016. They have lost maybe 20,000 people so it is more quiet. That is better for us!
I know Marseille and they are a good team. They have had a difficult start to their championship - like us - but in the Champions League they are first in the group. We will go there to win, they are a good team but we have the quality we need.
What do you know about their manager, Didier Deschamps?
He is a good manager and he knows the top level. He has won a lot of trophies - the World Cup, the European Championship and the Champions League plus other titles.
He knows the big games and I think Marseille against Arsenal is a big game. He has the quality to take his team to the top level in the championship and Europe so he is a good coach.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Start with a good squeegee
The keys to success are buying a good squeegee and keeping it fitted with a sharp, new rubber blade. The same high-quality window washing tools the pros use are readily available at home centers and full-service hardware stores. The whole setup is inexpensive and will last many years. In addition to a 10- or 12-in. squeegee you'll need a scrubber, a bucket (a 5-gallon plastic bucket will work), hand dishwashing liquid and a few lint-free rags or small towels.
Buy a good squeegee and replace the blade frequently. Look for replacement blades, also called rubbers, where you buy the squeegee and pick up two or three to have on hand. The pros we talked to change their squeegee blades as often as once a day. That's because you just can't do a good job if the edge of the blade becomes nicked, sliced or rounded over with use. If your squeegee leaves streaks or just isn't performing like new, don't hesitate to replace the blade (Photos 9 and 10). You can get a little more mileage out of blades that aren't nicked or sliced by simply reversing them to expose a fresh edge. When you store the squeegee, make sure nothing touches the blade.
You don't need fancy buckets or special soap. Any large bucket will do. Just add a couple of gallons of water and about a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid and you're ready to go. In warm weather, you'll get a little more working time by using cool water. If you've procrastinated so long that you're washing windows in below-freezing temps (I learned this the hard way), add wind shield washing solution until the water doesn't freeze on the glass. Scrubber or sponge? It's up to you. A scrubber works great and is worth buying if you have a lot of medium to large panes of glass. But a good-quality sponge is all you really need, especially if most of your windowpanes are small.
Our squeegee method is easy to master
Photo 7: Wipe off excess water
Use the rag in your pocket to wipe up excess water along the bottom edge of the window. Then poke your finger into a dry spot on a separate lint-free rag and run it around the perimeter of the window to remove any remaining suds. Wipe off any streaks using a clean area of the lint-free rag. Change rags when you can't find any fresh, clean areas.
Follow our complete how-to in Photos 1 through 7.
Professional window cleaners sweep the squeegee back and forth across the window in one continuous motion. But this "fanning" technique takes practice to master. Instead, the method we show allows you to get great results immediately. We're moving the squeegee horizontally across the glass (Photos 4 – 6), but vertical strokes will work too. If you work vertically, angle the squeegee to direct excess water toward the uncleaned area.
You can use a squeegee inside the house too
Photo 8: Divided-lite window solution
Wash divided-lite windows with a sponge and a small squeegee. If you can't find a small enough squeegee, you can cut off a larger one to fit your glass size. Scrub the glass with a wrungout sponge. Then use the tip of the squeegee to clear a narrow strip at the top (same technique as Photo 3). Pull the squeegee down and wipe the perimeter.
The pros do it all the time, even in houses with stained and varnished woodwork. The key is to squeeze most of the soapy water out of the scrubber to eliminate excessive dripping and running. Then rest the scrubber on the edge of the bucket rather than dropping it in the water after each window. Depending on how dirty your windows are, you may be able to wash five or ten windows before rinsing the scrubber. Keep a rag in your pocket to wipe the squeegee and quickly clean up soapy water that runs onto the woodwork. Use a separate clean rag to wipe the perimeter of the glass. New "microfiber" rags (Photo 7) work great for window cleaning. They're available in the cleaning section of some home centers and hardware stores.
How to change your squeegee blade
Change the squeegee blade if it's nicked, sliced or worn. Photos 9 and 10 show you how.
Tips for hard-to-clean windows
Photo 11: The razor blade solution
Remove paint specks and labels with a razor blade mounted in a holder. Always use a new blade to avoid scratching the glass. Wet the window first and push the blade across once. Rinse the blade and repeat on the next section to avoid trapping debris under the blade that could scratch the glass. Don't use a razor blade on tempered glass.
Dried paint, sticky labels, tree pitch and bug crud may not yield to plain soap and water. Here are a few tips for removing this tough grime.
- Scrape wetted glass with a new, sharp razor blade to remove dried paint (Photo 11).
- Remove tree pitch or bug droppings with a fine (white) nylon scrub pad. Wet the glass first and rub in an inconspicuous area to make sure you're not scratching the glass.
- Add 1/2 cup of ammonia per gallon of water to help remove greasy dirt.
- Loosen sticky residue left from labels or tape by soaking it with a specialty product like Goof Off. You'll find Goof Off in the paint department at hardware stores and home centers. Then scrape off the residue with a razor blade.
Window washing in a nutshell
Once you master the simple technique, you can get your windows sparkling clean in 30 seconds! Follow this 10 photo series.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King [Blu-ray] [Canadian] [] [2004] [1 disc]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
THE RETURN OF THE KING, the third and final film in Peter Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, finds Middle-earth on the cusp of great change. Weary hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) venture further into the dark realm of Mordor, guided by the increasingly desperate Gollum (Andy Serkis), the two-faced former owner of the Ring that Frodo must destroy in the fires of Mount Doom. Meanwhile Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) contend with the deranged ruler Denethor (John Noble) at the once-mighty city of Minas Tirith, as Merry (Dominic Monaghan) joins owyn (Miranda Otto) and the Riders of Rohan to hold back the forces of Sauron. Amidst the chaos, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) must rise to his destiny, aided by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) in assembling allies for a massive battle that will decide the fate of Middle-earth. With RETURN, Jackson brings J.R.R. Tolkien's world-renowned tale to a stunning conclusion. As with THE TWO TOWERS, the director deftly weaves various storylines together in one remarkable scene after another. Spectacular visuals complement Jackson's sharp focus on the characters and their emotional battles. While the special effects help to create huge battles and frightening creatures on a previously unseen scale, they never outshine the excellent ensemble of actors who bring the heart of the story home. A truly astounding work of filmmaking, THE RETURN OF THE KING skillfully concludes one of the greatest trilogies in cinema history.

Release Date:
July 9, 2013
Four mechanical engineering students from Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus (IUPUC) are getting hands-on experience this summer through internships at Faurecia, one of the largest international automotive parts manufacturers in the world.
They are the first in the Purdue University Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program at IUPUC to complete internships at Faurecia's Columbus Tech Center.
Other students in the program, which began in 2011, have completed internships at Cummins, Toyota, and other advanced manufacturing companies in the region.
"Although not currently required, engineering students are encouraged to pursue local and regional internships during their junior and senior years. Some even decide to begin internships as early as their freshman years in the program," said Dr. Dan Fant, associate professor and head of the Division of Mechanical Engineering at IUPUC.
Faurecia hired all IUPUC students who applied for full-time internships.
"We are pleased to partner with IUPUC and to have their mechanical engineering students on board as interns at Faurecia this summer," said Tracie Kimmett, talent acquisition manager for North American operations for Faurecia's Emissions Control Technologies Division. "We appreciate the energy, enthusiasm, and new perspectives these students have brought to their work teams," she added.
The students and their hometowns are:
Bolduc is working in Faurecia's Program Development Leader (PDL) Group, which develops emissions control systems.
"I've gained knowledge about the engineering of exhaust systems and how to investigate failed systems. In addition, I'm learning to read component design prints and understand the parts, shipping, and receiving end of the business. Faurecia is an amazing organization and I'm excited to work here. This experience is what I needed to confirm that mechanical engineering is the right career for me," Bolduc said.
Fant says real-world perspectives gained during an internship reinforce theories and concepts learned in the classroom. "Student interns learn how to work in technical groups, cultivate good communication and collaboration skills, analyze experimental and computational data, write and interpret technical reports, present and explain data graphically, and implement design work and engineering analyses," he noted.
Internship positions help ease student debt, often lead to part-time employment during the academic year, and can yield opportunities for full-time employment after graduation.
Fant expects the number of IUPUC engineering students placed in internships will grow as local and regional employers continue to seek ways of increasing the number of well-qualified employees from which to recruit.
IUPUC's first class of mechanical engineering students is expected to graduate in May of 2014. Currently, there are 55 students in the program.

Linux desktop: Not pining for the fjords
When radio became a popular form of entertainment, the prevailing wisdom of the time provided that live theater was dead. Of course, this so-called "wisdom" was just a little off, since live theater "survived" the onslaught of radio entertainment and still lives to this day.
When television became ubiquitous in households across the land, the death knell for movie theaters and radio was sounded by the day's pundits. There would be no reason to go to the movie theater any longer. Of course, they were wrong again, since movie theaters and radio still exist and are an integral part of the social landscape.
Even the death sentence for newspapers at the hands of the Internet — not the fault so much of the Internet as it is of bean-counting pinheads in publishers' offices around the world — is still widely premature, though admittedly it doesn't look good for the printed word.
Now there's the future — or lack thereof — of Linux desktop, where tech writers are tripping over each other recently to announce its untimely demise.
I'll just let time prove them wrong.
The problem is, to paraphrase the oft-quoted (and misquoted) Mark Twain on this particular topic, the report of its death is an exaggeration (the popular misquote, "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated," admittedly sounds better than what Twain wrote to the New York Journal is 1897: " . . . the report of my death was an exaggeration.").
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols points out in a recent article that the resounding butt-kicking that Android and Chrome are laying on the digital world these days doesn't bode well for the Linux desktop. Vaughan-Nichols links to a blog post by Jason Perlow that says that, essentially, we are entering the post-PC era in which, while the x86 may be dead, personal computing across different-sized hardware will continue.
I can see this and generally have no qualms with that, however I think this sales pitch for a brave new world of tablets and smartphones goes overboard. Arguably, what Perlow describes doesn't sound like post-PC, but rather PC-plus-(fill in your additional hardware here).
Linux's success in the non-desktop realm is hardly an accident and I am neither belittling it nor taking this for granted. On the contrary: Linux's superiority in servers, supercomputers and mobile provide resounding proof that it is a successful operating system, to the point where "the year of the desktop" has now become laughable since it is no longer the standard by which Linux's success should be gauged (if that was ever the case in the first place).
Yet, to those risking injury jumping on the Linux-desktop-is-dead bandwagon, my question is this: Does Linux's skyrocketing use and popularity in the mobile and tablet realms necessarily mean the "death" of something else in Linux, like — oh, I don't know — the desktop, as some sort of technological quid pro quo?
I'd say "no," and I'm willing to bet history has my back.

Hi Mike :smt039 Next time we get down your way we'll stop by and say Hi. Or maybe we can meet at Ben Avery and shoot a while.
Unfortunately, Galco is no longer open to the public, so you'd be saying hi to a locked door. :(
I don't usually shoot at Ben Avery because my shooting tends to be a bit more...active...than a square range likes. :twisted: Feel up to some practical shooting in the desert?
(1) Sorry to hear about Galco's closed door policy. I talked to Gary @ Az Gunrunners this morning.Quote:

Ah, yes, the rifle range at Ben Avery is good. I thought you were talking about pistol shooting (since it's a handgun forum). I actually live closer to the Rio Salado/Usery Pass range out in Mesa, so I usually go there to shoot long range.
I live near Williams so Avery is on the way into town for me. I'm also a Range Safety Officer there.

Howdy Guys and Gals,
Don't know if anybody looks in here anymore but here goes:
I am in the Blue Ridge Happy Jack area 1/2 way between Payson and Flagstaff at 7000 ft. elevation.
I got tired of the Desert heat so retired up here.
I,ve been shooting hunter style for 50 + years. A friend got me involved in IPSC shooting and reloading this past summer and I love it. The only problem is I am now an "Old Fart" (TOF) and am too slow to get good scores in IPSC. That doesn't stop me from having fun though.
We get over by Happy Jack 3-4 times a year. We cut our Christmas Tree over by you last year, it's a beautiful over there. Does The Long Valley cafe still make a good breakfast? :mrgreen:

"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"
"I love these and I love that you can create cute cupcake decorations by placing these on top. What a great way to decorate birthday cupcakes at a reasonable price!"
"The address labels are very nice!!! It was extremely easy to customize. I also ordered the matching invites in addition to the address labels (check out my reviews on those items). Lastly, I was due to receive my order on 3/15 but received it ALL on 3/7. Yay!!! You won't be disappointed if you go decide to order these gift tags. FYI, I needed to purchase a few more sheets of gift tags and customer service was so very accommodating and were able to add to my order since it had not gone to print. Super nice reps!!!"
"This was a perfect sticker to attach to card stock to create a label for a Bridal Shower. The top line read, "Life is Sweet". Below it we put in the couple's first names followed by the date of the wedding. Then we punched a hole in the upper right corner and with ribbon attached the label to jars of local honey. It was fitting since we hired a local baker to demonstrate cupcake decoration and served filled and decorated gourmet cupcakes at the Bridal Shower. Working with Tiny Prints was a joy. Our guests raved about the design and use of the label. It could be used for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations and other important events where sweet rule!"

So which one do you think is the best?
So which one do you think is the best?
Maplestory, just because of its immense amount of content and how much more players play it than Wonderking, WK does have PvP over it though, but its extremely inbalanced
^^PC Bad? Can't Find A Game For It? Click the Link Above ^^
Join our EPIC GROUP!!!
I preferred WonderKing more. It had more funner gameplay and less skill spam to me.
You still spammed skills, like 1 to 6 or so, but at least you made a combo out of it; In MapleStory all I ever had to use was one skill. Not including buffs and mega AoE's.
The general ability to double jump and dash was great in WonderKing for me, there was a lot of quests right up and there was always a spot to train.
But, with that, it means there's less people in general... But, I preferred a lower population as opposed to MapleStory's mass count where everyone is accusing each other of stealing their training spot every 20 seconds.
I personally liked WonderKing more. It felt faster paced with double jumping and dashing etc.
EDIT: MapleStory has no PvP. If you are a PvP lover like me you will definitely like WonderKing more.
I liked WonderKing more, but it's a difficult decision.
MapleStory - Huge world, a lot things to explore, quite polished already. Occasional instances.
WonderKing - Better gameplay (smooth and faster), but a lot less content, so it ends up with grinding the same maps over and over again later on. Has a lot of interesting instances, though.
I'd say for level 1 to 50 WonderKing is clearly better. For a long-term MMORPG MapleStory would be the better choice.

They should unite and create Maple King. Games enviroments should be based off Canada.
Bad decisions make cool stories.
when were talking about gameplay I go for wonderking
Well, Maplestory will be best. A lot of classes and features! Wonderking... well, they work hard to be like Maplestory ,but can't. LOL
I disagree, I think taht did a nice job making their own 2D sidescroller to compete with MS, especially since the skills look cooler and they actually have pvp

I ordered this for a friend that was recently diagnosed with Diabetes. He has read it and says there is alot of very good information that he thinks is going to help him alot.
I thought it was a break through...

it was nothing new to me, a lot of unnecessary text with statistics and data I don't need. make the book simple, concise and short, it will cost and weigh a lot less and it will be faster to read. I knew all the "natural" treatments involved in this book...for new learners this might be useful, bought it in hope of finding something new for my mom's disease, but over all I was very disappointed.

I'm a 27 year old electrician from Sheffield and I'm hoping to start teaching english in China next April, My girlfriend is chinese and last year I spent a month in China with her and fell in love with the country. We're both struggling to find work here and are really enthusiastic about forging a new life over there.
I am wondering what kind of courses I should take before I leave, I've heard you can take a tefl course over just 1 weekend! where as other courses last 4 weeks, can you still find emplyment with just a weekend course? Other people have told me you need a degree and 2 years experience?
Also could you tell me if I could work a longer course around my current job and roughly how much it would cost?
thank you so much

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Tha Locstah, Nov 10, 2008.
I wonder if he has been working out. It could be February before he's in the groove.
Yep he can sign that morning of 12/7 and play that afternoon. ESPN - Antonio McDyess waived by Denver Nuggets
he's a gym rat. Dice doesn't strike me as a guy that mopes around his house with a box of Krispy Kremes. At least I hope not.
The 7th is Sunday. Hoping this will break the Sunday jynx. Even if Dyess is not able to play it is something different.
Would be nice if he could attend the game and give the Pistons an energy boost and make the crowd roar.
Yep, Dyess is going to turn things around for us on Sunday - I can feel it. We are 11-2 on non-Sundays.
I'm so excited for his first home game just to see the crowd (hopefully, there are more than 20 ppl) give him a standing O. He's just so nice, you know his reaction is going to be genuine.
league office is closed on sunday, so he can't resign till monday morn..... or did i dream reading this?
You are right. Think he'll play his 1st game back as a Piston against the Wizards.
Nice enough to make me want him to sign with a serious contender. I guess that's us.
I think he can play because his papers are acutally filed as of this point but just can't play until the 7th.
I actually posted something to that effect. I was like maybe he should go somewhere else so he has a chance to win! I think i even mentioned the Cavs. And then i regained my sanity. LOL I think he's just comfortable here.
Yeah I could have sworn that I heard either Blaha or Stoney & Wojo say last week that he will definitely be active for the 12/7 game at NY Knicks....as longs as he was healthy. Blaha and Kelser will probably confirm it tonight. December 7th is D day for Defense returns to Detroit with Dyess
Well I stand corrected here and will discount my quote above as the Piston website states that he won't sign until Monday and will make his return and play in his third game of the season for the Pistons on Tuesday vs the Wizards.. I posted the notes on the NY Game thread.
Thanks for the update Dre!
Is Dyess the messiah that needs to resurrect this team, or will he be just another frustrated Piston like the rest of them?? If they go no where, then it will be the biggest mistake of his career when two teams going the opposite direction, Cavs and Celtics could have squeeze him into their lineup for a $1 and $100K ring
To be honest i don't know why he's coming back.
He must really miss Mr. D?, because there is no ring forthcoming in Motown this year unless some other team at the top of the division suffers some sort of injury in May... :banplease
Dyess shouldn't have to come back to this.
[STRIKE]I have to agree with you.[/STRIKE] [STRIKE] You and I share the same opinion. [/STRIKE] I was wondering the same thing.

Hip 2 or 4 o'clock
I just bought a XD 9mm Sub-Compact
I need suggestions
Small of back or on the hip.
I won't bring in in work but I will have it on me the rest of the day (ie. in my car at home so I will be sitting down alot as well.) I need help and what kind do you recommend. I think I want to go inside the pants.
I'm not a fan of SOB carry for a few reasons, in no particular order:
- If you're distracted, and a person knows you have a gun, they can disarm you easier than strong side carry.
- When you're out and about, you have your arm to provide another barrier between your gun and "Joe Public" versus SOB.
- If you're struggling with someone and need to draw, trying to draw from an SOB position puts your arm in a position where you don't have a lot of power and you can be stopped pretty quickly.
- If you don't practice your SOB draw a lot, in a stressful situation, you're apt to shoot yourself or someone else as you draw from a SOB position since you naturally will be sweeping yourself or others, where that doesn't happen strong side.
- Some people claim that if you fall on the gun, you'll injure your back, which I guess is possible,
I don't like SOB carry for the same reasons Todd listed. But I have a close friend who does it exclusively.
I carry SS OWB about 90% of the time. The other 10% is with different guns using SS pocket or SS IWB. This trio works best for me and allows me to carry comfortably 100% of the time where legal.
Sorry, no one size fits all in CC. Everyone has to find what works for them, depending upon the gun, attire, weather, lifestyle, circumstances, body type, etc.
ill recommend a specific holster. i carry my xd9sc in a crossbreed supertuck and its amazingly comfortable and makes the subbie dissappear. its a great holster from a great company with top notch customer servicve. http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/ check it out! heres a pic of my xd9sc and my g19 next to me CB
and my subbie in the CB (sry crappy phone pic!)
Last edited by Todd; 03-15-2009 at 07:23 AM. Reason: Links to other forums not permitted
I have and still do carry SOB some but not real often. It has more to do with what weapon I'm carrying that day and where I'm going. For the most part it's 4:00 in an IWB. or OWB. And now and then a shoulder rig.
I will do it now and then but it's mostly around the house.
If I go off the hip I was thinking 9 oclock I shoot left handed so I guess it would be on my left side. Can I move the crossbread around the hip or is it straight off the hip.

I completed the pattern on this big guy a while ago, and did a teensy bit of procrastination when it came to building the base. Partly, because I loved that mural-of-a-table-top hanging on my wall and would have liked it there forever, partly because I was freaked out about how much it might weigh when taking it down, and partly... well, most of it was the latter. Remember how I once told you that the freight elevator only goes to floor five, while we're conveniently located on floor six? Yes, so it was pretty clear there would be at least two sets of fifteen foot cement stairs to navigate down before we got to that oh-so-accessible floor five. A scary thought.
So I wrangled up some very willing guys and the six of us barely made it down alive, ten foot table top in tow, manhandled somehow onto the creaking backs of these men and wrestled into the steep hallway, a hallway of sharp edges and a long way to fall. I had a stomach ache. Of course, the table wouldn't make it around the corner on level five... nor on level four... So down it went, slowly, to level three -- where the freight elevator sat waiting like it was mocking my obviously silly decision to rent a studio on floor six. Silly me.
So thank you commissionees of this ginormous table, it was so much fun to tackle it's daunting size and pattern, and I taught myself a ton along the way. I hope you enjoy many-a-meal gathered around her, and don't have too much trouble passing the peas!
Oh, and have I mentioned that I've suddenly fallen in love with cacti? Yes. Desperately so.
Fellow cactiholic Amelie just updated her awesome basebalaholic letterpress site. Go see!
I'd like some cacti like these, please and thank you.
But for now I'm starting with this one.
And this one.

Benjamin Franklin suggested people set their clocks ahead in the summer as far back as 1784. The first systematic use of Daylight Saving Time did not occur until the Germans began setting clocks ahead in World War I to conserve fuel. Soon, Britian and other Western European countries had also adopted "Summer Time."
The U.S. observed this time change nationwide in 1918 and 1919 and again in World War II from February 9, 1942, through September 30, 1945.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I would wait longer on your epoxy maybe at least and hour. THen put down your 2-k. I always let mine dry overnight and sand before I put down my 2-k but thats just the way I like to do it. All the 2-k seems to be different on dry time to sand but should either say on the can or ask your jobber you got the primer from. Your primer should be sanded with 320-400 untill perfectly smooth. Anything you can see in the primer you will see in the paint only more so.
Painting questions
A little info first. My son and I have been working on his 1st truck. We have done all the rust repair, bodywork, shaved his door handles, tailgate latch and have sanded several areas down to metal. We are going to spray bare metal areas with epoxy primer and then spray with 2k high build primer.
1) Can we shoot the epoxy first then wait for it to dry about 20-30 minutes without sanding and then shoot the 2k primer?
2) After we spray the 2k primer (approx. 2-3 coats) how long can we wait before we need to spray the base coat? What is the max time we can wait? I would like to get the cab, fenders, and hood primered and ready for base coat. Just dont have enough time to complete all painting at one time.
3) Is it necessary to open up the 2k primer by scuffing it before we spray the base coat or is that with just epoxy? We are planning on sanding the 2k before we spray the base coat. Do we have to wet sand it or just block it dry?
Thanks for any info

Iverson Bell, DVM was a veterinary educator and advocate for diversity and veterinary medical education. A native of Texas who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, Dr. Bell received his DVM from Michigan State University in 1949. He was a founding faculty member of the Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1950. After a year at Tuskegee, Dr. Bell moved to Indiana, where he established a small animal veterinary practice. He played an active role in helping establish the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, and was a two-term vice president of the AVMA and president of the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association. Dr. Bell was a tireless advocate for improved diversity within the veterinary profession, and mentored hundreds of veterinary students in his role as a practitioner and visiting lecturer at Tuskegee and Purdue. Dr. Bell was a charter member of the group that started the diversity seminar which now bears his name.
The first seminar was held on May 31, 1972, at Purdue University. Seminars have been held biannually since then. The Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges continues to honor Dr. Bell by recognizing an individual who has embodied the spirit of tenacity and commitment and who has made significant contributions to the promotion of diversity and the inclusion of under-represented veterinary minorities in academic veterinary medicine.

text: Definitely. But the comment was about the 77% being surprising and contrary to reality to Chan's detractors (who often complain of his messy performances and mistakes). I was just reminding everyone what the criteria are for success in this thread. This means that 23%, almost one quarter, of Chan's quad attempts are failures (not rotated, falls, or otherwise earning -3 GOE), and the 77% that he lands could include some pretty big mistakes as long as he stands and rotates them. I'd say that sounds consistent with my vision of Chan and his quad. ETA: I also don't think this poll counts pops as attempts (correct me if I'm wrong), so if we include the number of anticipated quads in Chan (or anyone else's) program that he didn't try to rotate four times, his success rate goes down more. To be fair to him though, this count does not include Nationals, and I think he typically skates cleaner there. Plushenko and Joubert must have over 100 quads if we include Nats, also.

anyone know? My goal is to make this suit. :D
anyone know? My goal is to make this suit. :D
A blue-gray color is what you want. The same color is on the ESB Hero jumpsuit too, but is a faded color because there's almost 1 year between the 2 images:
Attachment 60462
Raf is right, it is the same.
I am familiar with the colour.
"royal blue" by RIT brand fabric dye.
Make sure you boil the water up to a full boil before putting your dye in.
Then put the flight suit in.
As long as the water is boiling it will dye properly.
You can season the colour to your liking as you go but make sure you don't pour the dye in the water with
The fabric your dyeing at the same time. Take the flight suit out of he water to season the colour.
Otherwise you'll end up with bright blue pepper marks on the flight suit where you sprinkled the dye into the water.
Once your done dying it to the colour you like you can always stone wash them (google for directions).
After all that airbrush on your soil marks and bam.
If you need more help feel free to message me. It's not my first rodeo. ;)
Make sure your flightsuit is 100% cotton for dying. Also, I was under the impression that the correct color was "China Blue"
Awesome! Thx for the colors. "Chine Blue" is perfect more for ESB...looks more washed out. But I'm going for a Pre-Pro 2 color. I'll give "Royal blue" a shot. :)
The royal blue works but you don't want to dump the whole box in. I am not familiar with the colour china blue. What brand is it?
The dying will still work as long as you have at least 90% cotton but 100% natural fiber is recommended.
No matter what shade blue you use you will want to beat them up to wear it in and fade the blue.
Some stone wash like me. Others work the fabric with a series of sand paper ranging from 150-400 grit.
Ill be using this same color when I dye mine.

New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
Hi all,
About two and a half months ago I purchased a 4 door black on black CTS and it's loaded (it's a PDQ according to the options codes if anyone is even remotely familiar). I absolutely love it, however, I've been having issues with it and it has been in service for over a month of the time that I've owned it. The issue is it just randomly dies overnight while in my garage. It occurs once, maybe twice in a given week and has only happened when it's garaged, although, it has only spent a few nights out of the garage. The dealer that I got it from has sent it back to the Caddy dealership, and they cannot seem to pinpoint the cause of the problem. The keys are definitely not talking to the car while it's garaged, and they have already replaced the AC control unit and the radio.
At this point they are talking about buying it back from me, but I don't want to do that, because I truly like the car, not to mention I won't be able to find anything with the amount of options within that price range- that car was a steal. At the same time, I can't wake up to a dead car in the mornings, because it has already caused me to be late to several things, including work. I was just wondering if anyone has had any similar experience, or could maybe offer just a little two cents. I pick up my car today, and they have "options" for me, but I imagine the biggest one will be to get me out of the car and into something else, but frankly, I'm have fallen in love with the Caddy and don't want something else. Please, I'd like to hear what others have to say. Thanks!
Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
If they'll give you all of your money back; put it in your pocket and run. There are a lot of nice CTS' out there but a headache now will always be a headache. Maybe there is a reason you got such a good deal in the first place.
Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
Good point about a headache now always being one. The dealership I got it from is above board, though, and I've even seen the service history for this car, because I know someone that has access to that info. From the service history through Cadillac, this problem was never raised and the vehicle was well maintained. At the same time your first point is spot on...
C "T" ess lol. I love the name, btw.
Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
This could easily be a lifetime issue. Electrical issues are a pain and are difficult to run down.
Take the money and run. There are others.
Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
If you have keyless ignition, be sure you're not leaving the starter switch in the accessory position (one click to the right from "off").
Per the owner's manual, "The battery could be drained if you leave the key in the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position with the engine off. You may not be able to start your vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for an extended period of time."
p.s. -- I learned this the hard way.

Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
I am sorry to hear your vehicle has been in service for that long and you are dealing with these issues. However, I am happy you seem to have fallen in love with your Caddy and love the vehicle regardless. I would be in the same position as you under these circumstances and reach out to hear advice from others also. I do see forum members reached out to you and offered their insight of the situation. Let me know how everything goes and if you would like to further discuss anything, please private message me.

Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
KnickKnackCadillac, is it possible the radio is sometimes staying on when you exit the car after turning off the engine? This problem has occurred with several forum members, particularly on 08-09 cars. The issue is almost always related to a defective [driver door] door latch switch (aka door ajar switch). If the switch doesn't activate sometimes on exiting the car the radio/audio system will stay on, draining your battery. On that subject, what is the condition of the battery? Has the dealer checked that out? A sneak current could be draining your battery. In the CTS service manual there's an instruction on what items to check out (see post #13 below). The dealer's service dept should be able to carry out necessary diagnostics very easily. If you really like your car I wouldn't give up on it quite so fast - give them a chance to fix the problem.
Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
Knickknack, if it were me, I'd have to give it back or buy a second car again. That said, I have seen posts on the corvette forums by owners who can't leave cars in airport parking lots for more than a day without needing help, and the first time my daughter left her one week old 2013 Honda civic in an airport lot, it also had a dead battery. Welcome to the world of computerized cars, and best of luck to you.
BTW, I was happy to notice as I had the doors open while making a hard connection for my radar detector, that the dash had a message saying "Battery saver engaged". Maybe your saver function is dead or disabled.
Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
FYI - Battery drain diagnostics info:
Service Information
2009 Cadillac CTS | CTS VIN D Service Manual
#PIC5454A: Additional Battery Drain Diagnostics - (Apr 19, 2012)
Subject: Additional Battery Drain Diagnostics
Models: 2008 - 2013 Cadillac CTS Coupe Sedan And Wagon
This PI was superseded to update model and model years. Please discard PIC5454.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
A customer may comment that the battery goes dead intermittently.
After further diagnostics it may be found that the battery draw cannot be duplicated. There are several known areas that may cause a battery draw on a CTS. Please check the following areas for any concerns.
1. Overhead console light switch
2. Door Handle Micro Switches/Touchpads
3. Radio
4. Trunk/Liftgate Touch Pad corroded from water intrusion
5. Inadvertent power ckt (wires pinched by sunvisors)
6. Seat Switches sticking
7. Window Switches sticking (Drivers Door Switch, Passenger Door Switch)
8. Memory Seat switch circuit board solder splatter
9. Aftermarket accessories installed (or were installed at time of the battery drain - be sure to ask customer if a phone, MP3 player, etc. may have been installed when the issue occurred)
10. Check engine wiring harness located on the right side cylinder head from front to back for possible multiple short locations
11. Gen 8 OnStar module (see bulletin #09-08-46-004B)
12. Review latest version of PI0412 (No Crank No Start Dead Battery Due to Parasitic Drain Discharge) *** 2011 Model Years Only ***
13. Review latest version of PIC4935 (OnStar Power Consumption)
If all recommendations above do not indicate a possible concern then check the afterblow option using the Tech 2 to see if it is turned on, If customer agrees please turn the afterblow off and let the customer evaluate the vehicle for a draw.

Re: New Owner Electrical Issue- Return car or not?
Good luck trying to get them to buy it back. I have been fighting for them to buy back my Lemon and the only offer they gave me was to do a Lease swap which means they buy out my lease as long as I agree to get a new Cadillac lease. I would lose all my incentives that are no longer available, lose my down payment, and be forced to extend the lease. Pretty crappy customer service.

About the Model M500 CONCERT GRAND SOLOIST
The Concert Grand Soloist is highly regarded for its classic design and masterful, rich tone in the note range of C2-C7. A choice among professional recitalists for its presentation and tone, the 5-octave marimba features beautiful rosewood bars with rounded accidentals. The select wide-graduated rosewood bars provide a rich, full tone. Light staining, hand rubbing and a clear finish on the bars accentuate the beauty of the rosewood.
With a furniture quality hardwood frame and copper vein powder coated resonators, the M500 Concert Grand Soloist marimba is a stunningly handsome instrument.
Musser's most technically advanced marimba creation, the M500 Concert Grand Soloist features tunable aluminum alloy resonators secured by bolts and lock-nuts. Fine tuning a marimba allows the player to customize sound within the limitations of acoustics, temperature and humidity. With the Musser patented resonator caps, tuning in the range of C2 to C3 is quick and accurate, even in the lowest register. Resonators feature two position settings for placement.
Masterfully designed for the concert performer, the entire instrument disassembles for transport. The frame is height adjustable from 33.5" to 38", with durable locking casters for smooth transport and durability. Folding resonators and rails and detachable end pieces pack securely.

Brand History
Clair Omar Musser was a gifted marimba performer, conductor, composer, and marimba designer. He was even trained as an aircraft engineer. In 1930, he became the chief engineer and designer for the JC Deagan Mallet Instrument Company and in 1948, left to start the Musser Mallet Company in the Chicago area.
Musser created the modern Vibraphone design and expanded the line into marimbas, xylophones, chimes, and orchestra bells. It would grow to become the most dominant mallet instrument company in the world.
In 1956, Musser sold his business to Lyons Band in Chicago. A few years later it was sold to Dick Richardson who grew the company further by creating a partnership with the Ludwig Drum Company to distribute products through the same sales team. During this era, jazz vibe legend Lionel Hampton became a major influence for the Musser Company.
In 1965, Ludwig acquired Musser creating a "Total Percussion" company with mallet instruments and drums. Artists like Gary Burton arrived on scene and elevated the Musser brand to new heights.
With a potential shortage of rosewood used to make bars for xylophones and marimbas in the 70's, Musser would be the first to develop a synthetic bar material made from Kelon ®, a special blend of fiberglass strands. This innovation allowed instruments to be used in outside weather elements in drum corps and marching bands.
In 1981, Ludwig Musser was sold to the Selmer Company. Production of Musser mallet instruments continued to be made in LaGrange, Illinois outside of Chicago until 2013 when production was moved to Elkhart, Indiana. Musser today is known as the choice for "sound" by professionals.

Hello guys, got some questions here:
1) I read the commercial 308 spec has a chamber pressure roof of 66,000 psi while the 7.62x51 spec is only 50,000, does this mean the commercial 308 hunting rounds should not be used in a FAL? (Such as the Hornady light-mag stuff.) What might happen if the round is too hot, which part of the FAL will get damaged ?
2) what is the difference among type 1,2 & 3 receivers? are they all the same accuracy-wise? will the carry handle cut/no cut affect accuracy?
3) I heard the type 3 has the least cuts and is the heaviest, will that make the whole gun stronger so it can better handle hot loads?
4) Besides the DSA and Imbel, what other receiver would you recommand for a build? Are the Enterprice receivers any good? My main concern is the accuracy and ease of building (like barrel timing).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If you're considering a swap to disc brakes, the Explorer brakes will bolt up to the late large bearing ends while Crown Vic brakes bolt up to the small bearing ends.
|big gear head
I don't think I would trust a stock Ford Traction Lock. Look into a Truetrac if this will be mostly street driven. A stock '70 case would probably hold up on the street, but if you can find a nodular case with a Daytona pinion housing it would be better. I would use new 31 spline axles.
One thing that I haven't mentioned before, there are large and small axle bearings. The Mustang and Fairlane used the small bearings and trucks and full size cars used the large bearings. I would recommend the large bearings. The sealed ball bearings are fine for street and drag racing, but the tapered roller bearings should be used for auto cross or road racing.
|Power 500hp min,and tranny=undecieded other than OD auto,car weight=3800-4000 I think, 55 ford sedan.Tires 10" or so wide with 28" or so diameter
|big gear head
How much power are you going to make, what transmission are you going to use, what tires will be on it and how much will it weigh?
Many times the stock '70s Ford case is good enough for a street car. The only real good case from Ford is the nodular case, and as I said above, one is better than the other.
None of the Ford installed differentials are any good except for the Detroit Locker, and they were installed in VERY few cars from the factory. The factory Ford Trac Lock will break and wipe out the gears and everything else when it does. Look at the picture below. This is from a stock Ford F150. I have a pile of these that are broke. After market differentials are made stronger.
Ford made about a dozen different yokes, so figure out what you need. There are long car yokes and short truck yokes and flanges. There are also 1310, 1330 and 1350 series for the different u joints.
|Not really hurting for $$$ just checking all options.I know 9" are awsome and my hotrod is a ford, so my initial thought was how good are the different stock units for now, until I get everything figured out or to use in car until I get crazy with it.I plan to make it a monster when done but always easier said then done or time wize that is.
Yes, any 9" pumpkin will fit a 9" housing, if you plan on cutting the tubes to narrow the rear end you should REALLY have a pro shop do it. Everything has to be aligned properly and welded properly. You can look on ebay, there are quite a few reputable sellers on there with a long history of positive feedback.
I bought my housing from Currie with the billet Torino bearing ends and 31 spline axels for $800 and bought a completely rebuilt 4 pinion 31 spline posi from a vendor on ebay for $500 shipped. This stuff isn't cheap so if you're really hurtin for $$$ then look for a wrecked hipo Mustang or other type Ford with a posi 9" in it.
|Thanks, so from what I know any 9" center will fit any 9" housing?So I could get any housing(truck one or thicker tube one)and cut/size to fit and get better center, ect...Are there certain centers/third members better then others(stock ones).Not sure what size I need yet but just waying my options on a budget other then just buying new aftermarket one.Thanks again.
|big gear head
The '57 to '64 housings are the best looking, but the weakest. The truck housings have thicker axle tubes. The housings with the long tapered center are stronger than the housings with the smaller rounded center.
The WAR and WAB cases look stronger because they have extra ribs on the front, but they have a very weak pinion pilot bearing boss. Many people try to pass these off as nodular cases, BUT THEY ARE NOT. There are 2 different nodular cases. One has smaller 2 7/8 bearings and gray iron caps. This one is not the strongest. The other one has 3 1/16 bearings and has nodular iron caps. This is the strongest production case that Ford made.
The standard pinion housing has small bearings in the front and back. The Daytona pinion housing has a much larger inner bearing, but requires a special yoke.
The Ford Traction Lock is weak and should not be used in a high powered car with good tires. After market Traction Locks have a stronger steel case.
I guess everybody knows that the 31 spline axles are better than the 28 spline axles.
Ford 9" info
Does anyone know if there are any bad 9" rear ends?And trying to size one up for hotrod,wondering a good place to look/research more for widths,ect.....I guess in short I know theres lots of little differences as far as identifing in the 9" but not sure other then that.
