Box score
Providence, R.I. - Bryan Neufeld picked the perfect time to score his 100th career goal. The junior attack found the back of the net with just 20 seconds remaining in tallying the winning goal as the Saints survived Providence 9-8 Saturday afternoon in Rhode Island.
Neufeld's score, his MAAC-leading fifth game-winning goal of the season, capped a furious fourth period finish in which the teams' combined to score 10 goals. Twice in the final period Siena (7-2) blew two-goal leads before ultimately prevailing for their sixth straight win.
The Saints harbored a 4-3 lead entering the final period before both teams' offenses erupted. Providence's (2-5) Jake Nolan garnered the equalizer with 13:28 remaining to bring the Friars all the way back from a 4-0 halftime deficit.
Siena would respond by taking its first of a pair of two-goal fourth period leads following scores from Neufeld and John Rogener which put the Saints on top 6-4 with 7:39 remaining. But the Friars battled back to tie things at 6-6 with a pair of goals over the next 2:28.
In a see-saw affair at the end, the Saints made the next move, once again scoring twice quickly on goals from Chris D'Alberti and Dan Lawson in a 21-second span to seemingly put things away as Siena took an 8-6 lead with 4:23 remaining.
But pesky Providence made one final push, posting their third comeback of the game from multiple goals down. Bryan Annecchino scored with 2:21 left and Evan Helda netted the game-tying goal with just 1:18 remaining as the Friars had yet another life.
With the game looking like it might be headed to overtime, Neufeld played the hero to make sure it didn't. After Zach Triner won the key faceoff following Helda's goal, the Saints held for the final shot. Neufeld made his run and beat Friars' goalie Jake Goodelman as the Saints finally delivered the knockout punch.
Triner, who was impressive once again in the faceoff X, won 13 of 20 draws including the final one following Neufeld's goal allowing the Saints to run out the clock.
Neufeld, who finished with a hat trick, becomes just the eighth player in program history to reach 100 career goals. Additionally, Neufeld extended the nation's longest active scoring streak to 44 straight games with his second straight three-plus goal performance and 19th in his brilliant career.
D'Alberti finished with two goals and Danny Martinsen added a goal and two assists for the Saints which have now won three in a row over their former conference rival after dropping 21 of the first 24 meetings.
Tom Morr added another solid game in net, posting nine saves while picking up a career-high nine groundballs for Siena which finishes the month of March a perfect 6-0. During the Saints' six game winning streak, Morr has been a stalwart between the pipes posting a solid 6.76 goals against average while saving 63.6% of the shots he has faced.
The Saints look to extend their winning streak into April when they return to action and MAAC competition Saturday against Detroit. Faceoff is set for 1 p.m. from Siena Turf Field.

On a cold wintery and blustery day, Jackson Concrete can be a tough place to find. Nestled on top of a steep rise, just below the timberline of a heavily wooded hillside, it's mid-day before the sun burns off the area's mist to offer guests a clear view.
While not exactly on the beaten path and not really hidden from view, visitors arriving in bright daylight often have a hard time recognizing the steel and concrete modern building for what it is. The structure's sleek, straightlined form is often misidentified as one of the high tech industrial manufacturing operations that dot the outskirts of the picturesque town of West Bend, Wis.
But to the trained eye, the operation's outward trendy appearance suggests there is more to learn. Driving past the parking area, visitors glimpse space for a fleet of about 15 front-discharge ready-mix trucks, suggesting something about volume. No material stockpiles are in sight. Finally, parking in the visitors lot just outside the contractor store entrance, the visitor sees several examples of decorative flatwork concrete.
There is something special here. Within its 45,600-square-foot enclosed building is as modern a concrete operation as any in North America. The whole scene is an enigma of concrete production. But to the hundreds of fellow producers who have travelled from all parts of the world to see it, this plant a few miles north of Milwaukee offers a glimpse of future efficient concrete production.
And that's the way John "B.J." Meyer likes it. "We have created a well-managed concrete plant, but we also try to operate below the radar of our competition," he says. "They know we are here, but we just want to be successful on our own terms."
Meyer owns and operates the company with his family. He bought Jackson County Concrete more than 17 years ago, when his previous employer of a dozen-plus years wanted out. The affable Meyer says his "employee" purchase, was the culmination of a lifelong dream to own a concrete company. It was more an act of commitment to his fellow workers and loyal customers to create something long lasting. His choice has worked so far. Many of his current employees have remained with Meyer, along with key customers.
When he bought the company, Meyer inherited a plant that had seen better days, was located on a permanent quagmire, and had barely enough supplies, much less cash, to keep running for the next month. With the help of family, employees, and customers, Jackson Concrete moved to a site next to an aggregate operation and quickly developed a strong relationship with the area's construction community.
In 2006, the aggregate operation wanted his leased space for development, so Meyer had to move. That was when he knew he had the chance to design and construct the plant of his dreams. Meyer used the opportunity to transform his company for the next decade. "When you're a family business you have to plan on what will be left for the next generation," he says.
Thus, the result of the dream is more than a new plant hidden in the mist. Jackson Concrete's new operation should be the goal of every producer. His business strategy incorporates all key company functions: delivery, product quality, and customer support.
For producers who operate in northern climates, profitability comes from efficient winter operations. "Construction here doesn't stop when it snows," says Meyer. "So when I designed my operation, I wanted to start things up and never worry whether I could operate efficiently in the worst of weather."

I need some advice before starting this project. I am going to convert a m-70 yugo into an m-77 (.308), or something very close to it.
I am just trying to figure out the right system for this.
I wish to have a long barrel, (20 to 24 inches). It seems either surplus or a barrel blank is the way to go.
The idea is to keep everything as close to the M-77 design as I can.
After I get the barrel complete milled and installed in the trunnion, I will work on the bolt, bolthead and gastube.
I will then work on the reciever ect.
Well I need ideas, so what ever you guys could help with will be appreciated.

Re: Tiller conversion to wheel
I would think that larger boats that have transom-hung rudders would have longer tillers. This would give you more mechanical advantage.
I'm in the same camp as the 'tiller people', however, there are obviously lots of boats out there with wheels, so, the other camp is well represented.
Re: Tiller conversion to wheel
In defense of a wheel....
Made the conversion in my 33 ft schooner with a $35 Ross steering gear recycled from a truck. It is connected to the top of the rudder post with a simple 3-jaw coupling. This was done about 45 years ago and so far it seems to be working OK. The wheel allows for many different seating or standing options, the best of which is reclining against the lee side lifelines. I gained cockpit space and installed a binnacle in it's proper place.... previously the no man's land occupied by the tiller's sweep.
Ross worm gears are almost maintenance-free. Pack in some grease and that's all there is to it. The full range is about 45 degrees to either side with a total of 6-3/4 turns. The only maintenance required is occasional replacement of the elastomer in the coupling. My rudder post is vertical and the gear is mounted atop the after deck.
Re: Tiller conversion to wheel
IMHO, there's no reason on our little blue marble to have a wheel on a boat less than 35' and even larger if it's a lighter displacement boat. To the OP, please don't waste your time and money on the conversion. Take the cash and buy new sails, get the rig tuned, get a tiller pilot, etc.... Tiller pilots work fine. On our boat you need to balance the sail plan for reaching, but it's not a big deal. For true long distance single or short handed stuff, I'd invest in a wind vane system. Apologies for the strong opinion, but there are just more effective places to spend money on a boat.
Re: Tiller conversion to wheel
Anything up to about 35 feet LOA is easily manageable with a tiller in all but the nastiest conditions. If your 30-foot boat seems too big to handle with a tiller, you probably need to reduce sail and/or balance the sails. Cal 40's originally came with tillers, although they were far from cruising boats. As others have said, a tiller will give the helmsman far more feedback making it far easier to really be "in tune" with the boat. A tiller allows much faster adjustments, particularly when operating in tight quarters (such as docking). Additionally, a tiller is simpler (always a plus), cheaper (another plus), and tilts up and out of the way when not sailing.
But I find the biggest advantages to a tiller are: the ability of the helmsman to steer just about anywhere in the cockpit using a tiller extension; and being able to steer by straddling the tiller (or just hooking a leg over the tiller whilst seated), thus leaving both hands free to trim sails, untangle lines, operate the radio, eat a snack, open a beer, et cetera.

I do miss feeling the wind in the sails - really feeling it - the way I could in my Coronado 15 with it's centerboard and 360 lbs total weight. The tiller and tiller extension were like dental tools (compared to my C22, now). I can really see what you guys are talking about with wanting to maintain that sense of it.
I'd love to get a tiller pilot for longer trips but for now I endure the tyranny of the tiller. I can get my Tartan 27' to hold some points of sail reliably by tuning the sail balance and using the center board to adjust the center of effort. I can let the boat sail itself and walk away from the tiller for short periods.
I haven't tried this on my boat yet but there is a trick where you tie the active jib sheet to the tiller and the boat will head upwind in gusts. Try that one with wheel steering.
The feedback from the tiller is the thing I miss most when I sail on my friends 32' wheel equipped boat on the Chesapeake. I find I always have to visualize the rudder angle from the wheel which is not nearly as intuitive as a tiller setup. It is much easier with a wheel to make steering mistakes than with a tiller.
I'm teaching 12 - 16 year olds to sail Sunfish sailboats right now. I'm quite accustomed to telling them: "No, your other left!" when they push the tiller the wrong way. Some of them get it right away, some don't.
Jon Eisberg said what I was thinking but more eloquently.
Larry may still be crazy after all these years. Which Larry?
Re: Tiller conversion to wheel
I'm in a Catalina22, eyeing boats in the 24-26 ft range. (You know, jumping from a 2400 lb boat to 5000 lbs.) We're on a reservoir, here in Colorado, but maybe to take with us when we move back to near the sea. This is all part of a plan to ramp up slowly (teaching myself), cruise, and live aboard.
The wheel - yes, that seems like what real boats have, right? The S2 26ft (8.0, '78-'83) has my eye these days; many don't have wheels, and I've been wondering about that - adding one. So thanks for this post, Islander11.
But, I also keep thinking about Lyn and Larry Pardey -- you know, the high priests of really doing it (or something).
There he is... with a tiller in his hand? No wheel?!?
CalebD - so you're saying Larry isn't just crazy after all these years? :-)
I also just got a Tiller Tamer. Haven't mounted it yet, but it will surely work better than my dock line method.

Re: Tiller conversion to wheel
As one who sails a similar size and type of boat, I'm a bit perplexed by why you'd want to change to a wheel... There are many drawbacks to a wheel on such a boat, IMHO...
Looks like your mainsheet/traveler is mounted on the cabintop, a wheel will really isolate the helmsman from the main... That's ALWAYS a bad idea...
A wheel exposes the helmsman to the elements to a far greater extent than a tiller, one of the beauties of which is the ability to huddle up under/behind the dodger while steering...
The ability of the helmsman to sit further forward and outboard, on the coaming or whatever, while using a hiking stick greatly enhances your view of the sails, particularly the telltales on the headsail...
In rough weather, climbing around to aft of the wheel can represent a considerable danger, as you have to step up onto the cockpit seats to do so, placing you in a very vulnerable position...
with the narrow footwell your cockpit currently has, standing behind the wheel at 20 degrees or more of heel will likely be very awkward, and tiring... There's a good reason why most boats designed for a wheel have a T-shaped cockpit...
What about clearance between the wheel and the opening of your cockpit lockers? That can often necessitate the choice of a rather small wheel, that might be far more fatiguing in use than a tiller...
Lazarette space is truly precious on boats as small as ours. Why would you want to clutter/diminish it with a quadrant and all the other crap wheel steering requires?
On all but the very best of wheel systems, such as a Whitlock, your "feel" and feedback of the helm is vastly superior from a tiller, IMHO... Not to mention, it gives you a precise visual indication of the amount of weather helm you're experiencing, invaluable for tuning the rig, deciding when to reef, and so on...
Self-steering - whether it be a tillerpilot or a windvane - will generally be simplified when applied to a tiller...
On a 30 footer, a wheel is really gonna clutter up your cockpit when it's not being used... A tiller, just the opposite, folding it back achieves just the opposite, at anchor or at the dock...
Not to mention, that "dead space" beneath the tiller can often be put to good use for storage of deck gear, and that will have the added benefit of reducing the volume of the cockpit that could be filled with seawater... On my boat, for example, that's where my liferaft lives...
Finally, Keep-It-Simple-Stoopid... And, a tiller is about as simple as it gets...
Frankly, I'm hard pressed to come up with a single reason in favor of making such a change, but - as always - that could be just me... (grin)
Re: Tiller conversion to wheel
Like I said: "More complicated mechanism that is prone to fatigue or failure."

How do I pack a travel backpack?
10 Backpacking Essentials
Planning on doing some traveling by foot this year? Maybe you want to hop trains in Europe or make your way through the Southeast Asian loop? Either way, you are going to need to pack lightly, efficiently and intelligently. We compiled a list of 10 backpacking essentials we never travel without. Think we missed something? Add it in the comments.
Disclaimer: This list is for urban/rural backpacking, not for overnight wilderness backpacking. The traditional '10 essentials' are for saving your life. This list is for saving you time, money and discomfort.
In no particular order:
1. Backpack: Having a good backpack is a given, but choosing one is more difficult than it sounds. Raymond, Eagle Creek, Lowe Alpine, Teton, Osprey, Gregory and tens of other brands offer backpacks of all shapes, sizes and designs. Volume, shape, material and fit are all going to be important factors. Read some reviews online and then make sure to go into a brick and mortar store, at least to try some on, because no backpack will be perfect for everyone. Here is a good list of backpack FAQs.
2. Durable and comfortable footwear: This is arguably the single most important purchase you will make for your trip. It can be a tough decision because shoes can add a lot of weight and volume to your pack, but if you get stuck without the right kind, you'll be sorry. If you are planning on traveling mostly in urban areas and doing a moderate amount of walking, you may be fine with a good pair of walking athletic shoes and an extra pair of sandals for hot weather. Any trips that involve heavy walking, side trips into the wilderness, up mountains or through forests will require some sort of trail shoe or hiking boot. There is an entire spectrum of these, ranging from lightweight and less durable, to heavy duty and indestructible.
Head into your local REI or outdoor store, speak with an associate and try on some options. A trail runner hybrid shoe can bridge the gap between walking shoe and hiking boot in some cases. Also look into buying some wool or synthetic hiking socks to prevent blisters and wick sweat. It is a good idea to also get some moleskin and ointment in case you do develop blisters.
3. Undies: Around the internet, you can find different rules for how to pack underwear (3 pairs for every 3 weeks etc). Personally, we recommend spending some money up front and getting some Ex Officio travel underwear. You can literally wash these things in any sink and they dry extremely quickly, so you can have a fresh pair within an hour or two. You won't need more than 3 pair ever. You can purchase them for about $30 (Men's and women's) at any
4. Duct tape: Duct tape has thousands of uses, from fixing a torn pack, to covering a blister in a bind. Don't leave home without it. Jeff demonstrates the makeshift duct tape hammock below.
5. Sunscreen: This seems like an obvious pickup for anyone traveling in the summer months or in sunny areas, but it is a good idea year round anywhere you will be traveling. You will be spending a lot of time outside, and UV rays can be damaging even in overcast areas, especially at high altitudes. Check out this post from lifehacker regarding new FDA regulations on sunscreen. In the case you forget to apply, aloe vera is a tried and true method for soothing your burned skin.
6. Money belt: Yes, it makes you look like a tourist. No, it doesn't higlight how worldly and street smart you are. Travel long enough without one though, and you will get pickpocketed or, at the very least, lose something. You can keep cash, emergency cards and your passport in here. Besides, you don't have to let anybody see it. In fact, that's the point.
7. Laundry kit: This one is pretty self-explanatory. You need to be able to wash your self so you don't end looking like a smelly, matted-hair vagrant. Make sure to get environmentally friendly soap so you don't go around polluting foreign water supplies. Also a sewing kit can come in handy for impromptu repairs.
8. Refillable water bottle: One of these will keep you hydrated, and because you won't be buying disposable water bottles, will help save the environment and your beer money. Try to go BPA free so you don't get The Cancers and purchase some purifying tablets if you will be anywhere with a sketchy water supply (i.e. Asia, Africa, and pretty much anywhere considered '3rd world'). Once you've had typhoid, you will agree that avoiding it in the future is worth a pretty penny.
9. Waterproof poncho: Having a foldable, waterproof poncho can be a godsend, whether you find yourself in a torrential downpour in the tropics, or just schlepping through a drizzle in London. They don't look cool, but sopping wet hair and mildewy clothes aren't very cool either.
10. First aid kit: You can get some pretty compact first aid kits, but make sure the one you choose has the essentials: antibiotic ointment, bandages, gauze, aspirin, an instant cold pack, scissors and gloves. You can also put an extra list of emergency contacts in here as well as your condom stash (see honorable mentions below). Note however, that condoms should be used as a preventative measure rather than 'first aid'.
Honorable mentions:
- ear plugs
- travel lock
- condoms (mentioned above, but depending on the traveler, they probably deserve their own post)
- clothsline
- drylite towel
- mini flashlight
- swiss army knife (be sure to check at the airport)
- travel lock
Think we missed something? Let us know your essentials in the comments section.

you wouldn't use the vacuum to remove all the bees. you do the cutout and take the brood...and hopefully the queen. the vac is to remove the leftover bees. the ones that clump in the old hive space, etc. you still have to do all the removal first, or you don't end up with a viable hive......unless you are doing a removal in such a tight space that you just rip stuff out and then vacuum and hope you get the queen and most of the bees. in that case, you are probably going to combine what you get in the vac with another hive and hope for the best.
PS - One problem I can already see if doing a cutout with it would be keeping brood comb from getting too cold with no bees on it... for that, the only thing i can think would be to put the capped brood in one of those heated coolers that's set to just the right temp. to store it 'til you can get the bees back on it in a few hours.

100 songs that changed history
Time Out explores the music that changed the course of world events
Breakdown of the songs that changed history
'A Change Is Gonna Come' – Sam Cooke (1964)Chosen by Dan Snow, author and TV/radio broadcaster
Dan says: 'Actually released actually after his death in 1964, this was only a moderate hit for Sam Cooke, compared to his previous singles. Despite this, it typifies the American Civil Rights Movement and its music, due to its devastating honesty, dignity, faith and hope. It enjoyed a sort of second life around the time of Obama's 2008 presidential campaign (only thanks to mass media, not in any official capacity), almost bookending the civil rights movement and highlighting its incredible journey.'
Also chosen by James Morrison
James says: 'In 1964, racism and social injustice were rife in the US. Sam Cooke, previously known for his sweet balladeering, took up the mantle of the civil rights movement to deliver an incredible song of hope and optimism. It was made poignant by his death a year before its release. The yearning in his voice gets me every time.'

'Lindy was forced to get on the phone and personally call season ticket holders and beg them to keep their season tickets. It was almost as if Lindy was the guy that had to personally call every fan and apologize for the Ted Nolan fiasco. What followed was 16 years of ups and downs that finally ended last week.'

text: Picking up a Factory Demo for $459.00 for a camp/backup gun in bear and cougar country when I go on a Bow elk hunt in colorado Sept 1st. I don't know if I really need it, but I love buying new toys. They also had alot of Marlin 45-70's in SS going in the 600 to 800 range. The demo does have some scatches on and near where the scope use to be and had definately been fired and not cleaned as the bore was very dirty. The clerk says that it was a manufacturer's demo that had of course been mounted w/ a scope and was used for exhibit accuracy testing and he assured me it was never sold to a consumer. The store is an official Marlin repair/distributor for the south mid west so I assume it is up and up. never shot a 45-70 or the Marlin 450( said to be a (45-70+p ), but in such a small light weight guide gun weighing in at only 7.0 pounds, it will surely have some pretty good recoil. I do own a Weatherby 300 mag, and thats about all the recoil I want. I surely hope the Marlin 450 cartridge doesn't go the way of the dinosaur, but many manufacturers including, Marlin, Browning BLR, Winchester, and others are producing rifles for this caliber which seems to be a good sign.Anyone have any experience with these Marlins.

30 Minutes or Less (2011) - Action | Adventure | Comedy
Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a small town pizza delivery guy who has trouble completing the "30 minutes or less" policy of his employers.
Dwayne and Travis are two delinquents who need $100,000 to have Dwayne's domineering father killed, so they can collect the inheritance. Dwayne's father has won the lottery, but is squandering his winnings, and the boys want to get their hands on it before he spends it all.
Instead of robbing a bank themselves, they decide to kidnap a stranger and force him to do their dirty work by strapping a bomb to his chest (Travis being skilled with explosives). After seeing an advertisement for the pizzeria where Nick works, they order a pizza and set the trap.
When he wakes up with an explosive vest strapped to his torso, Nick has ten hours to pull off the impossible task. Failure to comply will detonate the bomb. Going to the police will detonate the bomb. Trying to deactivate or remove it will detonate the bomb. It looks like his only choice is to actually rob the bank, not that he's sure he can do that successfully anyway…
Nick enlists the help of his ex-best friend, Chet, and as the clock ticks, the two must deal with the police, hired assassins, flamethrowers, and their own tumultuous relationship.

In Mississippi during the 1960s, racism and segregation is in full swing. This movie takes a look at what happens when a southern town's unspoken code of rules and behavior is shattered by three very different, extraordinary women who strike up an unlikely friendship.
Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) is a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children and has recently lost her only son.
Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer) is an African-American maid whose outspokenness has gotten her fired many times, but she makes up for this with her baking skills.
Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone) is a young independent white woman who has recently moved back home after graduating from the University of Mississippi to find that her beloved childhood maid has mysteriously disappeared. Although Skeeter's friends are all getting married and having children, her only desire is to become a respected writer.
When Skeeter's childhood friend Hilly comes up with the "Home Help Sanitation Initiative", a proposed bill to provide outdoor bathrooms for black help, she resolves to write a book exposing the ill treatment of coloured maids in white homes.
Despite the risks, the maids are gradually convinced to come forward with their stories, and a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling each woman with courage to transcend the lines that define them, and perhaps even bring about some major changes in society.
Deeply touching, appalling, and entertaining. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be inspired.
Segregation – separation of white and coloured people
Outspoken – says more than one should
Proposed bill – a potential law
Resolve – to decide in a determined way
Remarkable – amazing, outside of the ordinary
Instill – to implant, introduce with consistent effort
Transcend – go beyond
Touching – moving emotionally
Appalling – horrific, terrible

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) - Action | Drama | Sci-Fi
This film is set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.
Will Rodman is a San Francisco scientist who has been trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease by testing a genetically engineeredretrovirus on chimpanzees. The virus mutates the chimpanzees, giving them a human level of intelligence. When one of his test subjects goes on a rampage, Will's boss gives orders to have the chimpanzees put down, but Will keeps one of the babies and raises him under the name of Caesar.
Will's father, an Alzheimer sufferer, tries a sample of the cure and his condition improves. However five years later his dementia returns, and in the confusion, the highly intelligent Caesar attacks a neighbour, and ends up in a cruel primate facility. When Caesar escapes and gains dominance over the other apes, all hell breaks loose. The other apes are exposed to a new powerful strain of the drug and the result is an enormous, angry army of highly intelligent and seriously pissed off primates.
And their plan appears to be world domination!
The action scenes are creatively spectacular, the story is evocative and engaging, and the movie is crafted with astonishingly effective motion CGI technology.

Retrovirus – a virus that allows the genetic material of the host to be changed.

Life in a Day (2011) - Documentary
This extraordinary documentary film by Ridley Scott is a compilation of Youtube videos filmed on the same day in various locations around the world, by various people.

The completed film is 94 minutes 57 seconds long and includes scenes from 4,500 hours of footage in 80,000 submissions from 140 nations
Life in a Day is a historic cinematic experiment that attempts to capture what life looks like on one day, July 24th, 2010, around the entirety of the world. Thousands of hours of video were captured and then compiled to give a glimpse into what constitutes an average day amongst humanity.
This film is ultimately about connection; the connection of humans to one another and all of the mundane, regular, everyday things that we share despite our differences in culture, location, and upbringing. The fact that we all sleep. We all wake up in the morning. We all eat breakfast. We brush our teeth. We walk around. We smile. We love. We fear. We breathe. This film is an affirmation of the simple joys and sorrows that we experience merely as a result of living on this earth and being human. It is an affirmation of life at its rawest, truest, grittiest, and loveliest.

Extraordinary – unusual, surprising, special
Compilation – collection, something made up of many parts
Footage – video, recording
Historic – historically important

Police Academy (1984) - Comedy | Crime
As a crime wave sweeps through a city that doesn't have enough police officers, the mayor decides that part of the problem may stem from overly restrictive qualifications for police officers, so she opens the door of the city's Police Academy to anyone who wants to join. Chief Henry Hurst does not agree with the mayor's decision.
Soon, the academy is overrun with misfits, including parking lot attendant Carey Mahoney, who has been arrested before. Captain Reed, a longtime friend of Mahoney's father, gives Mahoney the choice of taking the 14 week course and joining the force, or going to jail. Mahoney chooses the academy.
Karen Thompson is an attractive cadet whom Mahoney has his eyes on. Florist Moses Hightower is a mountain of a man who likes to tend flowers. And Larvell Jones has the ability to imitate the sound of virtually anything. Also in the academy are guy-magnet Debbie Callahan, squeaky voiced Laverne Hooks, gun loving Eugene Tackleberry, and Leslie Barbara, a cadet who has been picked on one too many times.
Befuddled Commandant Eric Lassard and his lackey, Lieutenant Thaddeus Harris, are not exactly thrilled with the new recruits. As Lassard and Harris try to wash their hands of them, Mahoney and his classmates become all the more determined to make good, even when one of the recruits accidentally starts a chain reaction of fights that lead to a riot in the city.
The result of this combination of unusual people is, of course, hilarious mayhem. This film proved so popular, it spawned 6 sequels!
Crime wave – a lot of crime at the same time
Sweep through the city – occur in many places
Overrun – with a lot
Misfits – people who are different or unusual
Tend – take care of, look after
Squeaky – high pitched, like a mouse or bird
Befuddled – perplexed, confused
Lackey – assistant, messenger
Chain reaction – when one thing leads to another, which leads to another, etc
Mayhem – chaos, craziness
To spawn – to cause, to give birth to

Clerks. (1994) - Independent Comedy
Dante has had a crummy job at an small convenience store in New Jersey since graduating from high school three years ago. On Saturday morning, April 15 1994, he gets called in on his day off. Once there, he must deal with multiple problems.
The shutters outside won't open.
His ex-girlfriend Caitlin, whom he is still in love with, is getting married.
His long-suffering girlfriend Veronica, who bugs him constantly about starting college, has revealed certain, uh...stuff about her past.
His boss hasn't come in to take his place.
He has a hockey game at 2 o'clock.
Another ex has died, and today's the last day he can go to her wake.
His friend, Randal, a clerk at the video store next door, is even less dedicated to his job than Dante, and is always bothering Dante's customers.
Jay and Silent Bob, two dead-beats who pass their days smoking outside the store, are trying to shoplift the merchandise.
And the biggest problem of them all: HE'S NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TODAY!!
Dante is left with no choice but to bend the rules a little with work, customers, and most of all his love life. Can he get away with it all?

Crummy – not very good, low quality
Day off – a day without work
Deal with – handle, control
Shutters – wooden window covers
To bug someone – to hassle, complain to

Eighteen months later, Sam is still grieving and can't sleep. Although Jonah misses his mother, he wants his father to get a new wife despite the fact that Sam hasn't even contemplated dating again.
On Christmas Eve, Sam, on Jonah's initiative, ends up pouring his heart out on a national radio talk show about his magical and perfect marriage to Maggie, and how much he still misses her. Among the many women who hear Sam's story and fall in love with him because of it is Annie Reed (Meg Ryan), a Baltimore based newspaper writer.
Annie is already engaged, but her relationship with her straight-laced fiancé Walter is unlike her dream romance. She even writes to Sam proposing they meet atop the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day.
Back in Seattle, Sam has received hundreds of letters from women wanting to meet him. Jonah is excited by one letter in particular from Baltimore and will do whatever he needs to to get his father and Annie together. However, old fashioned Sam wants his future love life to be based on meeting a woman the traditional way, and he, in turn, becomes infatuated with an unknown woman he spots a few times in Seattle.

The Last Boy Scout (1991) - Action | Comedy | Crime
During a rainy football game between two teams from Los Angeles and Cleveland, star player Billy Cole receives a threatening phone call during half time from someone named Milo warning him to win the game or lose his life. Cole takes a gun onto the field, and shoots three opposing players on a run to the end zone. As the police move in, he kneels down and announces "Ain't life a bitch?" before shooting himself in the head.
Bruce Willis stars as Joe Hallenbeck, who was once a top-of-the-line Secret Service agent but has since become an alcoholic private detective. While performing the chores of a two-bit shamus, he discovers his wife Sarah is having an affair with his best friend Mike. After finding the two in his house together, Mike leaves… and is blown up in his car when he turns the key in the ignition.
Joe is hired to protect Cory (played by Halle Berry), a stripper who has been getting death threats. However, her boyfriend – Jimmy Dix – believes he can protect her himself, and after taking her away in his car… she (not surprisingly) gets blown to smithereens.
That's a lot of death…
Jimmy Dix was at one time a NFL football quarterback, but was thrown out of the game for gambling and drug addiction. Smelling something fishy, Joe and Jimmy begin investigations which uncover layers of corruption, dirty money, and murder.
Full of smart-arse quips, love and friendship, betrayal and bribery, The Last Boy Scout is a high action movie with enough laughs and mystery to keep anybody entertained.

Kneel – get down on your knees
'Life's a bitch' – common phrase to complain about life's difficulties
Two-bit – worth very little
Shamus – slang for private detective
To have an affair – to be romantically involved with someone outside of your relationship

Hot Fuzz (2007) - Action | Comedy | Mystery
Nicholas Angel (played by Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He's honest, reliable, and dedicated to public duty. In fact, he's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford – statistically, the safest town in the country.
Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman. The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman, Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. ("Have you ever shot two guns while jumping through the air? Is it true that there's a place in a man's head, where if you shoot it, it will blow up?")
Danny's puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel's growing frustration. However, as a series of grisly "accidents" rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems, and as the intrigue deepens, Danny's dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality. It's time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.
A highly amusing cop comedy which plays on all the stereotypes of police action movies and will make you laugh constantly if you appreciate British comedy!
Reliable – trust-worthy, doing what one says
Public duty – serving the people, as in police work
Sleepy – uneventful, not much happening
Well-meaning – trying to do the right thing
Overeager – trying too hard
Amiable – friendly, good-natured
Grisly – gruesome, horrible
Intrigue – mystery
Shaun of the Dead (2004) - Comedy | Horror
29 year old Shaun (Simon Pegg) is having some problems.
His long-time girlfriend Liz has dumped him due to his fierce loyalty to The Winchester (the local pub), his refusal to meet her mother, his total lack of romance and consideration, and his seeming inability to progress anywhere in life or remember their anniversary.
His temporary management job isn't going well at Foree Electronics, with his teenaged subordinates walking all over him and his actual promotion prospects minimal.
His flatmates, Pete and Ed, are at each others' throats – one being an arrogant jerk and the other a lazy drug-selling deadbeat who seems unable to get a job or lock the front door.
And, oh yeah, London is overrun with multitudes of zombies.
Now, Shaun must rise to the occasion – save himself, his ex, his mother, and his precious record collection. As one by one the people around him turn to zombies and London becomes overrun with the slow moving, flesh-eating undead, can Shaun save his loved ones, win back Liz's love, put her snide friends in their places, and finish it all with a cold pint in the Winchester?
This is a hilarious and not particularly serious comedy full of fun characters, amusing retorts, and entertaining fight scenes. Good light watching when you're not up for too much thinking!
Dump – leave someone (as in a romantic relationship)
Subordinate – someone who works beneath you
Walk all over sb – treat them badly, have no respect for them
To be at each other's throats – always arguing, not getting along

Overrun – covered with
Multitudes of – very many

Brazil (1985) - Drama | Fantasy | Sci-Fi
Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) is a low-level government employee, a harried technocrat in a futuristic society that is needlessly convoluted and inefficient. He dreams of a life where he can fly away from technology and overpowering bureaucracy, and spend eternity with the woman of his dreams. One day Lowry is assigned the task of trying to rectify an error created by a government mishap, causing the incarceration of a Mr. Harry Buttle instead of the suspected terrorist, Harry Tuttle.
When Sam visits Mr. Buttle's widow, he discovers Jill Layton, the upstairs neighbor of the Buttles, is the same woman from his dreams. Jill is trying to help Mrs. Buttle find out what happened to her husband, but has gotten sick of dealing with the bureaucracy, while unbeknownst to her, she is now in turn considered a terrorist friend of Tuttle for trying to report the mistake of Buttle's arrest in Tuttle's place to bureaucrats that would not admit a mistake on their side.
Sam and Jill both wind up as targets of the extreme anti-terrorist government, and the whole mess results in high speed chases and action fight scenes.
The plot is peppered with highly colourful characters such as Harry Tuttle (Robert DeNiro) – the renegade air conditioning specialist – and his mother Ida, who is addicted to plastic surgery.
Extremely imaginative movie, thought-provoking scenarios, and fantastic special effects. This isn't a movie you'll forget in a hurry!
Harried – overworked, agitated, stressed
Technocrat – a technical expert
Convoluted – complicated, difficult
Bureaucracy – a system rigidly devoted to procedure
Rectify – fix
Mishap – problem, mistake
Incarceration – putting someone in jail
Unbeknownst – without her knowing
Peppered – contains here and there
Renegade – rebellious, going against the system

Cube (1997) - Horror | Mystery | Sci-Fi
A man named Alderson wakes up in a cube-shaped room with, glowing computer circuit-like walls and six doors, one at the center of each wall, ceiling and floor. After recovering from his confusion, he opens two of the doors and looks into them to find rooms that differ only in color. He then opens and goes through a third door. He looks around and then takes a step, and is suddenly cut into large cubes. He falls apart and the rack of crosshatched wires which diced him moves into view. It folds up and retracts.
Apart from the short-lived Alderson, five other people, each from a very different walk of life, awaken to find themselves inside the giant cube with thousands of possible rooms. It becomes obvious quickly that many of the cubes are fraught with deadly traps, and the unlikely team of different personalities must work together to find a way to escape without being decapitated or burned. The trouble is – apart from the horrific deadly traps and their increasingly complicated personality clashes – they don't even know where the way out is.
Each has a skill that becomes clear when they must band together to get out: a cop, a math whiz, a building designer, a doctor, an escape master, and a disabled man. Each plays a part in their thrilling quest to find answers as to why they've been imprisoned.
Tense, gripping, psychological thriller that will keep your eyes glued to the screen until the end.
Glowing – emitting light
Crosshatched – in a criss-cross pattern
To dice – to cut into cubes
Retract – to draw back
Fraught – containing a lot
Personality clash – when two people don't get along because of their character differences
Tense – in a state of suspense
Gripping – holding your attention

Winnie the Pooh (2011) - Animation | Family
This film is based on three stories found in the Milne books: "In Which Eeyore Loses a Tail and Pooh Finds One", "In Which Piglet Meets a Heffalump.", and "In Which Rabbit Has a Busy Day and We Learn What Christopher Robin Does in the Mornings."
The story begins when Pooh wakes up one day to find that he is out of honey. While searching for honey, Pooh discovers Eeyore who is even sadder than Pooh because he has lost his tail. Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, and Roo come to the rescue, and Christopher Robin decides to hold a contest to see who can find Eeyore's tail. The prize for the winner, of course, is a fresh pot of honey.
The next day, Pooh goes to visit Christopher Robin and he finds a note that says "Gon Out Bizy Back Soon", but due to their poor reading comprehension skills, Pooh and his friends believe that Christopher Robin has been abducted by a ruthless and mischievous monster they call the "Backson", which of course sends the adorable and adventurous gang off on a new mission – to trap the Backson in a pit.
Their quest leads them into through a path of troublesome pitfalls and mistaken idendity, but of course, the whole thing ends in plenty of honey for everyone. The journey, of course, is more than adequately decorated with singing and dancing, and a whole lot of feelgood messages for the whole family!
Charming, sweet, traditional, this movie has stayed true to the Pooh known by older watchers, and will be enjoyed by kids of all ages.
Ruthless – not worrying about harm done to others, cruel
Mischievous – naughty
Pitfalls – problems, drawbacks
Adequate – good enough
Feelgood messages – messages of love, friendship, and wellbeing
Horrible Bosses (2011) - Comedy | Crime
Friends Nick Hendricks, Kurt Buckman and Dale Arbus are average guys who want to work hard to get ahead in their respective jobs, but they each have the same professional problem in achieving this goal: they each have a horrible boss and a job difficult to escape without starting from scratch.
After a drunken, hypothetical conversation about how to kill their bosses, their respective situations escalate with more despicable treatment from their superiors, and before they know it… they've hired an assassin! With this supposed hit-man as an advisor and tv crime shows and murder mysteries as their guides, the three go about trying to determine the best way to kill the three bosses while keeping as far away from the crimes as possible.
Hilarious errors are committed at every turn, of course, but will lucky coincidences be enough for the three disgruntled employees to give their bosses what's coming to them?
Start from scratch – to begin with nothing
Blackmail – getting what you want by threatening someone with consequences
Psychopathic – crazy, mentally ill, usually dangerous
Hypothetical – referring to an imagined situation or idea
Respective – relating to each person
Escalate – get bigger, get worse, get more intense
Despicable – unpleasant, cruel
Assassin – someone whose job is to kill people
Hit-man – assassin

Actually I'm not sure about a rod type, I've gotten so frustrated with it I'm having a hard time being creative. I like the idea of the clean look and firmness of a rod though
How would I get the rod the six or so inches to the right of the pedal to line up with the throttle linkage?
|Irelands child
Does that cable have a Teflon lining, i.e. like the Lokar? If not, that stainless steel sheath will have that grating sound. If it's a boat cable, they usually are set in one position by the hand lever and generally left there while a car type is modulated depending on the driving conditions.
Now, my question - since you don't show that engine compartment, can you run a rod type throttle? I had originally bought a Lokar cable, but have so much engine set back, would have needed to do an ugly loop so built the rod system using some 1/4" rod ends and some steel rod I threaded. This ends up being super slick. I still have cables, but for the trans kick down and cruise, but they weren't needed to be coiled - like this;
Throttle cable problems
I am in a learning by doing conundrum on a long (seven years I think) 51 chevy pickup (3100) project.
I can't get my throttle to feel like anything other than course sandpaper being dragged across a glass rod - how do I get that to stop?
I have a quadrajet on top of a Pontiac 350
sitting in the driver's seat the cable bracket is about 6 inches to the right of where the cable exits the firewall and and the bracket (where the cable clips to the bracket) is not quite 6 and a half inches from the firewall itself.
My first attempt at running a cable made a rather tight bend and while it worked both ways it felt not good. What you see in the pics is my second effort where I left a 2' cable intact and tried a couple gentle routes and it wasn't really better.
I tried a 2' throttle cable from CSR Performance (think boats) but my radius was too tight for it so...
What the heck am I doing wrong? I'll do anything if it'll get me close to smooth I don't even expect silky at this point

FARO, Portugal - The U.S. Women's National Team won the Algarve Cup for the ninth time after former Cal player Alex Morgan's two goals earned a 2-0 victory against Germany Wednesday in Faro, Portugal. Six current and former Tar Heel players earned gold medals for the American side. The group of UNC veterans included defenders Crystal Dunn and Whitney Engen, goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris and midfielders Tobin Heath, Heather O'Reilly and Yael Averbuch.
Engen, Averbuch and Heath were starters versus Germany. Engen went the full 90 minutes while Averbuch played 68 minutes and Heath 82. Dunn came on in the back line in the 58th minute and played the rest of the way. Harris and O'Reilly were not deployed in the championship contest although O'Reilly had been named Budweiser Woman of the Match in two of the previous three games in the Algarve Cup.
Morgan scored twice in the first half and head coach Tom Sermanni's team put in a comprehensive performance to defeat the second-ranked team in the world.
The USA made six changes to the lineup that faced Sweden two days earlier, with Sermanni forced to withdraw Megan Rapinoe at the last moment. The U.S. midfielder, who would later be named Player of the Tournament, sustained an injury at the last moment and was replaced by Tobin Heath.
Looking to earn its first trophy under Sermanni, who took the reins of the team in late 2012, the U.S. dictated the pace against Germany from the opening whistle.
Morgan started the scoring in the 13th minute after some hard work on the right wing from strike partner Sydney Leroux. Leroux got to the byline before whipping in a dangerous cross that Germany's center defender Josephine Henning tried to head clear. But the ball fell to Morgan just inside the area and the U.S. forward was lethal: taking one touch before firing into the top corner with her left foot.
The Europeans were a constant threat for an equalizer but the U.S. defense was strong as a unit. A nice move in the 22nd minute freed up Anja Mittag in the area, but right back Ali Krieger made a superb tackle to prevent a shot and snuff out the danger.
Twelve minutes later the U.S. doubled its lead, with Morgan again doing the damage. Germany should have dealt with a routine ball over the top from Tobin Heath but a mix up between goalkeeper Almuth Schult and her defense let Morgan steal the ball. She had the easiest of finishes and stayed composed, rolling the ball home into the empty net from the edge of the box for her second on the day.
Nicole Barnhart was at her best throughout the match but particularly in the second half. She was called into action in the 69th minute after a Germany free kick was headed toward the goal by substitute Alexandra Popp. Barnhart sprung to her right to claw out the initial effort, before reacting brilliantly to keep out Celia Okoyino da Mbabi on the rebound. She also made a huge save in the final minute to secure the shutout when she dove to her left to deny Mbabi.
The U.S. Women will return to Europe in about two weeks for matches against Germany in Offenbech on April 5 and against the Netherlands in The Hague on April 9.
Additional Notes:
- The USA played in its 14th Algarve Cup Final in 18 years of competing in this tournament. The USA has won nine Algarve Cup titles overall, winning in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013.
- The USA improved its unbeaten streak to 29 games, with the last loss coming against Japan on March 5 at the 2012 Algarve Cup in Portugal. During that span, the U.S. has scored 91 goals while allowing 21 in 25 wins and four draws.
- The match in the Algarve Cup Final against Germany becomes a first leg of sorts as the two sides will also meet each other in the following game for both teams, a friendly match on April 5 in Offenbach, Germany.
- Tobin Heath, usually a flank midfielder, started the game in the middle at attacking midfield as Carli Lloyd was held out due to a shoulder injury. Heath assisted on the second goal.

Temporary topcoat
I just bought a new project Its mostly straight but it has some exposed bondo on the rear quarters that just cant stay that way, though I dont expect the car to get a real paint job for a couple of years.
The current plan is to fix the quarters, roll the fender lips, prime and then cover with something so that the car can be driven/left outside without worrying about water soaking into the body work.
The question is what to use for the temporary top coat that will protect the body work, look OK, cheap and not interfere with the real paint job when that comes along. The car is sort of a burgundy, and even red oxide primer primer is a good enough match so it doesnt look bad, and between the dark color and the amount of black on the car already I could get away with a semi gloss black. I dont know if any red oxide primer is going to keep the water out, duplicolor does seem to sell a red oxide primer/sealer in a spray can, but Im not sure I trust that.
I originally thought about using some spray can touch up paint, but quickly found that even though it was a common color in the 80s, no one seems to sell it now. Other things that Ive been considering are maybe some rustolium (they have a red thats close, and otherwise, semi gloss black will work fine, and I know that it will protect it but I dont know what the consequeces will be when I get around to really painting it. As a last choice, Ive considered having the local bodyshop supply mix up some matching paint (I dont know what the smallest amount is, maybe a pint or a quart?), it would probably look the best, and be the safest but also, by far the most expensive with any of the modern paints (I used to do this with lacquer which kept costs down, but I doubt that you can even get it anymore).
Anyone have any opinions? Any other ideas what to use?
You can use epoxy primer. That can stay there when you get around to painting. You will need to sand and shoot more though.
Epoxy primer is your best choice. But ,it has no UV inhibitors so keep it out of the sun as much as possible. Drive it, but put a cover on it if it has to sit in the sun at all.
Please dont take this as not listening to perfectly good advice, but Ive been burned by that 2x before. Once was a long time ago with etching primer where I got the response from a body shop supply and a guy that worked at a body shop use this etching primer, once it bonds to the surface you can leave it just about anywhere and it will be fine.
The second time, slightly more recently was in the mid 90s when I started a project like this while I was in college on my daily driver (I really have no issues with driving a primered car bondoed is a problem but not primered) while my parents were going through a divorce and in the process I lost a place to consistently work on my car. That time I was told epoxy is the way to go, it will protect things till you have time to finish it. Well, literally the next spring (maybe about 5 months, and we dont have harsh winters around here in the DC metro area) a good 2/3 of the hood was showing the beginnings of rust coming through it.
DP90 used to be the if you want to leave your car in primer but not have it fall apart, its waterproof answer, and I believe its an epoxy primer that has been around at least a couple of decades now, but now youre finally getting well its not really waterproof.
To be blunt, this thing will see 2 (or with some bad luck 3) years of race car and occasional street use before it gets real paint. I dont have enough garage space to keep it locked up/covered up, but it will spend some time in the garage having a drivetrain swapped and roll cage installed (I see no reason why I would want the body perfect before I finish those anyway).
Unless the epoxy primers have _really_ gotten that much better in the last 10years, I dont think Id trust it to sand it down, fix any other dings/dents, seal it and shoot it a couple of years from now. Id be worried that the epoxy would have broken down/absorbed enough water that, well lets take off all of it and redo all the body work that I already did.
That brings me back to my thought process. I know that something like rustolium is and industrial paint and not necessarly compatible with automotive finishes, but as far as I can tell its basically an acrylic enamel, which I believe I should be able to get away with spraying using my HVLP, and then a couple of years from now I should be able to give it a good sanding, seal it with a sealer or some reduced epoxy primer and then shoot the car.
The last time I talked to someone about my last adventure with this kind of thing and epoxy primer, he suggested that what I should have done is after I primed it I should have gone to the bodyshop supply and gotten some cryl sealer tinted to something like the final color, shot that over the primer as a top coat and left it and it would have been fine. Best as I can figure out, cryl is just another acrylic enamel?
I guess what Im getting at is that if youre really convinced that one of the epoxy primers out there, Im guessing applied as a sealer, would adiquitely protect the finished bodywork under these conditions, that Ill go for it, hell, it saves me at least one, maybe more steps, but Im sure that Ill be stressing about it the whole time
What, did I scare everyone away with that response?
As I posted in another thread, I stopped by the local big bodyshop supply today and talked to them about it, explained the situation (race car/project car that will probably not see a real paint job for 2 or more years), and they actually gave me EXACTLY the same advice that they gave me so many years ago, Use an etching primer, over bare metal, over body work, once it bonds itself down it will seal it up and you dont have to worry about rust. They even recommended the same brand of stuff as they did years ago (dont remember what it was but its the stuff thats sort of olive colored).
I told him that and got a bunch of very surprised looks. No mater what I didnt think that old school etching primer was a good idea over body work and mentioned epoxy They didnt seem happy with that thought at all.
I finally asked about well, what about just mixing up a minimum amount of whatever the cheapest top coat you stock is in a matching color and using that? What would that run? I couldnt tell you without a paint color. I was prepared its a 1987 GM 74 flame red metallic and even had some paint chips stuck to some packing tape I my wallet since GM used that paint code for half a dozen other reds since then and they were all totally different and Ive been having problems finding any touch up paint at all for it.
For the smallest amount (for the life of me I dont remember if it was a pint or a quart now) of acrylic enamel, reducer and hardener it was going to be $67. Now if I was doing a full, real paint job then fine, actually that would be a GREAT price to do the whole car, even 2x that would be OK (its still single stage and enamel, if I was doing it for real Id probably be using BC/CC), but for just something to cover up/protect some body work and make it look presentable from 50 away thats hard to swallow.
Especially since its basically the same technology as the rustoleum that I can get for $7.xx/quart. I actually stopped at the hardware store on the way home and found that rustoleums normal and pro enamel comes in a regal red that the paint chip is a dead ringer for my paint chips (and Im sure would blend well enough to look good 50 away) in gallons, quarts and half pints, oh and spray cans (would probably use one of my hvlp guns to spray it down)
Common guys there has to be a better answer to this out there. Im really trying to avoid perpetuating the car painted with rustoleum thing.
Simple answer.
Epoxy primer is superior to etching primer no doubt about it.
Shoot 2 coats of epoxy over the bare metal. Finish it off with a coat or 2 of urethane primer. Then topcoat with a ss urethane.
Use a cheaper line of paint like PPG omni. Not long ago I paid $80 for a gallon of Omni ss urethane that I used on an old pickup. Not bad stuff for the price.
For what you are wanting to accomplish, you must topcoat this car.
