I think its going to be a gigantic mutant sea monster. and not a new godzilla movie. your thoughts ?
who cares , not to sound like a jerk , but if i heard right its al lshot from the perspective of a home video camera, (blair witch style) and that's just not for me
As for the camera stuff...as long as it isn't rediculously shaky...
yeah i also wonder what kind of monster... some scenes remind me of Godzilla...
Interesting that you guys are bringing up sea monster, considering the trailers have hinted at the monster being some kind of massive lion. In the second trailer, there was even the shadow of one of the "offspring" monsters, and the silhouette of its head definitely looked feline. Perhaps the sea monster bit comes from the concept art that was leaked, showing a possible form of the monster. However, I believe that concept art has been debunked.
Just finished watching the trailer with my girlfriend, and we both agree it definately came from the sea. If you have a look at the poster, there is what looks like a large wake mark going from the statue of liberty towards the mainland, indicating that it possibly walked along the bottom until it got to the shore.
As for lion/whale, i don't think we will actually know until the end, after all this is the director that managed to keep us guessing about the lost monster for well over half a season, and it turned out to be a freaking polar bear in the middle of the tropics!
Cannot wait for this one, it's like blair witch+Godzilla+Guns= Awesome
From what I read from someone who got to see a screening of it, the face resembles a human's face, with red eyes, and that its huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. From what I understand, its sopposed to be an alien. From this, people get bit or "infected," and burst open with a bunch of baby monstars running out of them.
well jj wanted to make this a godzilla like movie but not godzilla. He wanted to make a movie that was like how godzilla was to japan. basically a godzilla for america so that america would want to see over and over and over
any way its looks really cool and im going to see it
If a nuke created it, a nuke can finish it off.
And if that dosen't work, we'll enlist Chuck Norris's help.
yea the sea is so unpredictable, since we have only explored something like 5% of our waters theres gotta be something big waiting to crawl on land like how the dinosaurs came to be, we have all seen how history repeats its self over and over you add all our chemicals and radio active materials we have created plus sea creatures we got some problems. an alien maybe that grew in the sea with out us knowing is possible but if there is other creatures with this big one its possible they are just parasites to scale with this larger monster like ticks or fleas. People keep hinting it to just be a remake of some old monster movies like the beast from 20,000 fathoms but what we have seen with lost I'm sure its a completely new monster with possible tributes to some classic monster movies tied in, but i hate to say it but hasn't New York city had enough attention in movies maybe make a monster movie in a different city for once lol. I know its big and is close to water but why not have something wipe out Mexico then work its way up to Canada and have a last stand with it in Greenland. I'm going to go see this film but I'm getting sick of this all this Hollywood and New York stuff. the host was cool Korea's monster movie. Like if you take a look at the 28 days later where england is over run with the rage virus that movie had so much more of a realistic devastated feel then that terrible I am legend film. maybe its just me but they gotta have a change before everyone gets bored of seeing New York in shambles. why not a film where a couple is on Vacation in the tropics and they get infected with some virus that grows and grows and eats them alive and the virus gets bigger then these little beasts spread around the world from being left on airplanes and hotel rooms and the whole world is infected not just New York. And the more they feed the bigger they get so when they get to lets say Africa they work their way up the food chain and can eat elephants whole then move into the ocean and end up eating whales, then this gigantic monster can take out cities no problem. just some random thoughts and ideas
Damn thats a lot of writing Walsh, but I do agree with you. Every stinkin movie happens in New York.
That scene where see the silhouettes of mini monsters chowin down on someone is actually not what it looks like. I have seen production stills (google it) and they are people in hazmat suits grabbing a civilian.
Maybe it's a Kraken if it's got a humanish face.
This is from someone who saw a screening, there is a link to the monsters picture as well as the complete synopsis of the movie...
No way it could make it to Greenland. We Canadians would trap it in a massive igloo, feed it some back bacon, Tim Horton's donuts, and Molson Canadian, maybe watch some hockey, and become good friends, eh. He could troop with us Badlanders wearing a Rancor costume. It would be awesome.
I remember rumors going around that this was going to be a Voltron movie in the beginning.. :lol In the first trailer that came out, when someone says, "It's alive! It's huge" alot of people thought he said "It's a lion"
The movie doesn't look all that shaky on the tv commercials, but it looked very shaky when I saw the 2nd trailer on the big screen.. Hoping I don't walk out of there nauseated..
I couldnt seem to get the text color to match the background to hide the review unless you highlighted it, so if you want the rest because you dont plan on seeing the movie... lemme knowQuote:

Anonymous CL0VERFlELD Review
I was at the test screening at Paramount a few weeks back. I was lucky enough to be let in thanks to a connection that didn't initially come through at first. I've been a member of unfiction for quite awhile (since before "CF" became a phenomenon on this board) but I can't tell you who I am. I'm sorry. I know that everyone will immediately discredit this entire post because of that, but the movie comes out in a little over a month so you don't have to wait long to find out whether or not I'm *beep*
I'm not going to be vague in my review like the others have. Quite plainly: If you don't want spoilers, get out now. I was a member of a test panel that included four or five other people that didn't even know what the hell Cloverfield was. (Only one recognized JJ in the opening credits and asked "Is this the LOST movie?") I'm actually kind of upset I let myself be in on this panel, to tell you the truth. So much of this film demands to be seen in a theater with surround sound, the works.
Turns out it's just the "Where's the beef?" woman back from the dead.

As you no doubt know,Bermuda races are all about the gulf stream and eddies.
Tough race for all this year. Nice start and a three day S-SW 5-15 knot wind reach with the gennaker, two days no wind, and three very tiring days with 15-25 wind on the nose and opposing currents...persistence was a key.
Appreciate this and if you get a picture please let me know. I am hoping to cruise around Ireland next month and it may help having the chute outboard of pulpit. Thx again !
Way to go on the race!
Now you can answer all of our questions. ;-)
Selden Bowsprit Installation
I apologize for the delay in replying. We just sailed and won our class in the Charleston to Bermuda Race. We sailed three days straight on a reach with the bowsprit and gennaker. We were sailing with our skipper Bernie Schpiro on Pied-a- Mer, USA 52991.
The Selden install was quite straight forward. We installed a supplied pad eye on the anchor locker hatch door with a small backplate at the maximum distance recommended for the sprit to be extended ( the force there will be down). The sprit clips easily onto the pad eye. We installed the other supplied pad eye on the forward edge of the cabin top where the sprit is stowed while ready for use. We installed a circular ring provided by Selden on the starboard anchor roller bottom plate. We needed a little wedge to level it, we used a plastic block and shaped it. We through bolted the ring and wedge to the bottom plate.
We did have to remove the anchor and stow it in the locker. The sprit is easily removed and stowed on the deck with velcro ties when use of the anchor is needed. We use only the port side of the roller for the anchor as the ring is installed permanently on the other roller.
A tip: make sure you run the tack line through the sprit before securing the ends of the sprit pole.
We did not need a block at the end of the sprit, we tried one and found it worked better without it as the end has a rounded exit for the tack line.
I hope this helps.
Gennaker pole for beneteau 411
I have a 411 Celebration and would appreciate information on installation of gennaker pole and spec. The anchor locker gets in the way and fittings may not work with bow roller so very interested in what I need from Selden to make it work and installed.
Appreciate any advise and help on this

Others recommend furling the genoa before beginning the gennaker set..I think that takes too long, but the time may not be an issue if we furl the genoa, get quick set and trim of the asymmetrical gennaker...
Thoughts and recommendations appreciated.
Also appreciate ideas about wing and wing with the gennaker. I say DDW the gennaker will work like a genoa and we can use a wisker pole to boot..others say we should keep reaching and gybing instead of DDW course...i know ther are no absolute answers, but would sure appreciate advice from the forum.
Thanks...sailors helping sailors....
|Agree with the comments about a bald-headed sail change - no way in a race. Based on the fleet of J105s that start before me every Wednesday night, I'd say DDW with a gennaker would be a real bust. These guys are smart, competitive racers and they don't usually go anywhere near DDW.
|You can pole out the gennaker. Probably this will be slower, if the boat is not already at hull speed or close. To work out the speed at different angles versus the extra distance you need the polars or plot them yourself that is speed and angle at different wind strengths. Trying it on my boat there is a good speed gain but the effect cancels out with distance rapidly over 30 degrees. You can get the sail filling better ie not sheltered by the main if you let it forward by letting the halyard out a bit. The best angle then is probably about 20 but you need to work it out in practise depending on wind speed and the boat.
|If you're racing you certainly don't want a bald-headed sail change, which is what furling the jib first essentially is. We raced once about 120 miles, overnight, and came in second to a Tripp 41 by about 40 seconds. I think it was because we lost about two minutes in a bald-headed headsail change.
Appreciate that insight, you are supporting my recommendation to our skipper for our Entry this week in Charleston Race Week...
We locals to Charleston celebrate our Race Week this coming week with 270 boats entered.
We also invite entries into our biennial Charleston to Bermuda Race. A 777 mile jaunt across the stream, looking for the clockwise eddy to help toward the finish line. this year we are off on May 21.
Thanks again for the advice...
Don't know much about racing but my boat had a code 0 and a genoa. If there is wind enough there is no problem in setting up the spinnaker wit the genoa because it would fill well, the forces will be less and it would be faster and easier to trim. But if the wind died suddenly and you have very little wind the Genoa can shade the gennaker and make it more difficult to catch wind and more difficult to set.
But normally I do this alone so the easiest way is the way to go for me. With a full crew probably Faster is right and you can overcome any difficulty with more people handling the sail and win a meter or two even with weak wind

|MK3 Focus The place to chat about general questions, window tinting, exterior body, interior and lighting upgrades for the third generation 2012-Current Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|j ferguson
a bit more follow-up. Replacement trim and inner strip not yet at dealer. We had to take an extended trip so i glued the trim down with Gel-type isocyanurate (Super Glue). so far so good.
We're up to 500 miles, and the mileage display is showing 37.6 mpg cruising at 65 mph on interstate. things seemed to have settled in faster than i expected.
Can anyone tell me the specific oil that the factory ships new Focii with? Doubtless it's MotoCraft 5W20, but synthetic blend or full synthetic?
|j ferguson
a bit of follow-up:
took the car to the dealer. the service guy looked at it, understood the problem immediately and noted that the fool who had done this had used sealant rather than adhesive and observed that if he had used adhesive it might have worked. He wasn't prepared to guess whether this fix had been done by the dealer or the factory, but we did find some abrasions on the shotgun side trim which suggests that there might have been some trauma to the windshield installation after the car left the factory. Alas, we'll never know.
He agreed that the only way this could be fixed by them - Koons in Baltimore, a class act except they charge for coffee in the service waiting lounge - was the right way. Hooray!
So he ordered up new trim strips and the possibly broken underlying attach-strip and said he'd call me when they came in - not back-ordered either.
|j ferguson
Thanks Dan,
I'll do what you suggest. If I went with better glue, it would likely come loose again where it would be really inconvenient.
My past experience includes a lot of VWs (11), the usual '40s and '50s cars, a couple of Benzes, a 1968 BMW 2002, Maxima, Honda CRX, SAAB 5 door, Neon (gasp), and other chevies, olds, and fords - well after all, I am 70.
This Focus drives better than all of them with the exception of the BMW - nothing I've driven has ever handled as well as that car did, except some other BMWs. SAAB was close, but this Focus is closer. I really like it.
I wish I'd been able to convince SWMBO who will also be driving it that the manual was a good idea. the automatic on ours, the one with the upshift and downshift buttons seems a bit unfocused - can't seem to settle on what it should be doing.
thanks again. I think your advice is sound.
Plus, a windshield isn't that hard to replace and if you ever need one in the future, do you think Ford will provide you with free trim pieces? One more thing: one of my Focus trips included 300 I80 miles accross Wyoming with a 40-50 mph wind on the nose. Not sure a glued-down trim piece would've survived that journey.
|j ferguson
While I was yet un-Focused, not having bought a new car since 1984, I imagined that things had changed and one no longer needed to go through the fix-stuff-they-screwed-up-at-the-factory cha-cha. But no such luck - nothing has changed.
My plight is that the 2013 Focus SE i bought in Baltimore, "NEW" with 18 miles on it has a loose driver-side windshield trim strip undiscovered before going out on 95 to see how it drove. It flaps in the wind.
So I looked at it carefully, found that it had been "glued" to the underlying plastic strip with some sort of adhesive - which hadn't worked.
I bought access to the Service Manual and read the comments I've found on the net on this subject. My conclusion is that somehow, the strip was removed or its factory installation was bungled such that the latches on the underlying strip were broken off and the adhesive seemed like a great idea to whoever faced the problem. Well it wasn't a great idea.
My take is that a proper fix will require the removal of the windshield in order to replace the clip strip which is under it, the replacement of the windshield and the installation of two new trim strips. I would have called them bezels, but maybe Ford likes it simpler.
I'm not sure I have the heart to make Ford do it right on this very obvious warranty problem. Why take a chance on the windshield replacement being screwed up.
If they can glue this trim-piece down successfully, that might be ok. It would not be reusable if it was installed properly in any case.
If i ever need to replace the windshield, they would still need to replace the underneath clip strips and the two trim pieces.
Am I wrong about any of this? Am I missing something important?
What would you do in this situation?
|My dealer broke mine when they installed my new windshield. They fixed it the next day though.
I would make him fix it correctly. You or your insurance company paid the have it done right?
According to the information I have the glass does not have to come out. But if the glass needs to be pulled he can call an auto glass company to take it out to replace the retainer and put the windshield back in.
If you just glue the trim back down it could be a problem if you ever need to have your windshield replaced. The front and rear glass are set in a urethane adhesive and become a structural part of the vehicle. The surface where the glass is bonded to the car has to be carefully prepared and if there is additional adhesive in the area it will need to be removed which could damage the paint and corrosion protection in that area.
The part is called a "pillar molding retainer strip". Here is the part # BM5Z5803179A and is costs about $50. Also if he deformed the molding pulling if off incorrectly then he needs to replace that as well. If not, it will not fit right and be a constant problem.
As a consolation, some trim items like that are a one time use, you can not get them off in good enough condition to be reused. If that is the case the insurance company will pay for it.
I see your molding was damaged and you have a new one. Just inspect it carefully to make sure it was not damaged being put back on incorrectly before you reuse it.
Windshield Molding Clip Rail
Just wondering if the plastic clip railing under the rubber windshield molding on the A pillar on the driver side needs the windshield remove in order to get it replace. Reason I'm asking is because my car was hailed earlier and was at the shop to get it fix. One of the repairs done was the rubber molding running along the windshield of the A pillar on the driver side that was beaten up. The guy pulled the molding straight up and broke a few clips. I later found out that it was best to slide and lift than to directly lift which caused the clips to get broken because it seemed a bit loose when I got home in which I tried to straighten out. They are made of very (VERY) thin plastic. I told the repair guy and he said he'll order a new one. But my main concern after I got back home and examine it bit closer is this thin plastic clip railing seems to be slide and tucked under the windshield's edge. So now I'm wondering if that's the case will he need to remove the windshield? If it's too much work and I frankly don't want this car going back in for more repairs later, if I should just buy some trim adhesive or have them do that and glue it back on.

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by detteam, Oct 13, 2011.
Where's Nemo?
Glad you finally made it to celebrate your team.... You need to do that more often... Not only after a win.........but before.
congrats to the Sparties......... Hopefully they get the #1 seed. Michigan should land safely with a #3 seed. Let the Brackets begin................
Sparty got the #1 seed, but have several of the "M" schools in their region. they get Memphis in round 2............... also possibly have to contend with Murray St., Marquette, and Missouri...........
Sparty showed mean ole' Buckeyes that nobody better mess with our little brother. Don't worry,MSU isn't scared of any of those "M" teams. They are the best team in the Big ten, after all. Congratulations to U of M on securing the #4 seed (although I remember somebody around here predicting a #3 seed). Now the Wolverines don't have to conten with any of those "M" teams...except themselves of course. Well, St. Mary's could be a test for some...but not for the #3 team in the Big Ten.
Crystal ball says either Memphis or St. Marys advance past a Michigan team..............
Didn't get to see it, but heard you guys took care of business. Nice job.
Smotrycz, Christian, Brundidge Decide to Leave Program - MGOBLUE.COM - University of Michigan Official Athletic Site Smotrycz was foul prone, but they are going to miss his three point shooting next season...especially with Zack and Stu gone too. Maybe with the new freshman bigs showing up, they move to an inside game.
Sparty is done. Good season. Disappointing to go out in this round as a #1 seed, though.
Sparty is done. OK season. Didn't expect them to go so soon as the #1 seed. Wisconsin out also..a one point loss.
Very sloppy game by the Spartans. Green and Wood appeared to be the only ones prepared to play.
Green played hard, but had lapses. He's a great leader. I thought the key to the loss was the play of Appling.
I couldn't even recognize the team I watched last night. They seemed to be saving themselves for the next round while Schmooyville played like they were gonne be killed if they lost. ...props to Schmooyville!
The only positive that might come out of last night's loss would be more schmoeyville jokes.
It's OK. Prior to the season nobody expected them to be even close to a #1 seed. Great season!
People won't always believe that. Izzo can take bread crumbs and make turkey dinner. I will always expect his teams to compete. I expect Izzo to be Big Ten coach of the year......
Coach of the Year could be interesting. Ohio State is having a great run. Michigan made some nice improvements. Generally, the award goes to the team that improves or overachieves the most. Izzo will certainly be in the running.
Izzo is human. The season before last was pretty bad. I expect Izzo to do a good job every year. It doesn't mean that the team is going to win a lot of games or advance to the Sweet 16. This year, IMO, he did a fantastic job. MSU tied for the Big Ten championship in what was SUPPOSED to be a down year, MSU won the Big Ten tournament in what was SUPPOSED to be a down year, AND MSU advanced to the Sweet 16 in what was SUPPOSED to be a down year. I would EXPECT that other people would appreciate these accomplishments. Your "praise" of MSU sports teams (doing better than Michigan teams) just come off as condescending left handed compliments rooted in envy. Highly entertaining...although it gets old sometimes.
No envy here because I do cheer for MSU during the tourney. Especially if Michigan gets knocked out. I always believe that MSU will compete in basketball. Remember...last season was supposed to be another down year for UM football.... Just can't keep good programs down......... Not sure what a left handed compliments is??? I've seen condescending fans cause I've been to UofM football games. I don't like them......... It's Ok if you choose to give me that label. I'll just add it to the others that you've given me over the years. The transvestite whatchamacallit was the best so far....Although the "fish" related ones are good too........
I did NOT label YOU as condescending. I merely identified my perception of some of your statements regarding MSU . I DID call you the other names and will continue to do so.
Separate names with a comma.

Surprise! Andrew Malcolm doesn't know what discretionary spending is
LA Times reporter Andrew Malcolm (R-CA) [1] snarks about that which he does not understand [2]:
So the president's firm federal freeze covers every single dollar of discretionary spending -- except for all Medicare spending and except for all Medicaid spending and except for any and all national defense spending. Everything else is frozen. Like the streets of Wasilla, Alaska. Oh, no, one more. Also excluded from the freeze is all Social Security spending.
Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are not "discretionary spending."
Insert your own punchline relating to Malcolm's previous employment as a Bush press secretary.
And take a look at how Malcolm refers to the President:
Spending and also deficits have shot up as voter concerns in recent polls, even as the hallowed healthcare legislation went on life support. This is because the community organizer's claim that giving health insurance coverage to 30,000,000 more Americans would actually save money sounds about as likely as those late-night TV commercials promising an extra $20,000 a month with a simple 800-phone call.
Next he'll start snarking about Barack Obama's birth certificate. Oh, wait: Nevermind [3].

Most seasons, I REALLY wanted a team or two to prevail ... and/or a team to fail fail fail! So, which of these past Amazing Race winning teams were your favorites?

I think it's a bit rough to say that Aussie Packages are no good! it would be more accurate to say that Aussie Packages may not be suited to the pressures which bees are exposed to in the USA/Canada. .. Australia has an advantage over the USA & Canada in that our bees aren't exposed to some the diseases that the USA/Canada are! does that make our bees better or worse?
Some very interesting comments on our Aussie export packages on another forum:http://www.beesource.com/forums/showthread.php?279083-Australian-4-LB-PackagesNot very good advertising for our exports!
Hi Wonga - I think we can do our bit BEFORE Varroa hits us. I have been selecting "hygienic" queens for a while. It seems to help with SHB and I would expect that it could offer an advantage when the big V hits us. We need to observe our bees and make sure we have the best stock.

GLEN ELLYN, IL -- Today's leading high-def bar game is getting a boost from the biggest TV reality show. Starting in October, connected Big Buck HD videogames by Play Mechanix will automatically receive additional gaming content based on the Arts & Entertainment Network's mega-popular "Duck Dynasty."
New videogame content reportedly will include 16 duck hunting rounds and four Duck Dynasty bonus rounds, along with other enhancements to Big Buck HD, which is considered to be the first-ever arcade game with 1080p graphics.
"Adding Duck Dynasty to Big Buck HD is a sure winning formula, particularly given that the new game will be automatically downloaded to each Big Buck HD at no extra cost," said George Petro, president of Play Mechanix, a wholly owned subsidiary of Raw Thrills Inc.
"Duck Dynasty" has broken several ratings records on both A&E and cable television as a whole; the fourth season premiere drew 11.8 million viewers, making it the most-watched nonfiction cable telecast in history. The program chronicles the lives of the Robertson family, which became wealthy from its business, Duck Commander. Located in West Monroe, LA, it specializes in products for duck hunters; the Robertson's flagship product is a duck call known as the Duck Commander.
"Duck Dynasty's unprecedented popularity and its hunting theme will ensure that Big Buck HD will be even more successful in the future," Petro said.
Within its purview of coin-op video for bars and arcades, the Big Buck Hunter series commands as much prestige as does "Duck Dynasty" in reality television. Introduced in 2000, Big Buck Hunter is one of the most enduring lines in the amusement industry and features such virtual big game as gnu, moose, bear and lions. In 2008, the game's creators held the first Big Buck World Championship Tournament. Qualifying matches for the sixth annual championship match, which will be held in early November in Chicago, are under way now. | SEE STORY

I am looking for double action only .357 for EDC. I have only shot the LCR357 and thougt the trigger was pretty nice. Which DAO .357 do you think has the best trigger?
As far as revolvers, I think that S&W still has the best triggers.....Ruger being a bit more "grainy"
If you don't reload, then you should consider also getting the LCR 22. There is a very practical reason for having 2 LCR's. The reason is explained in one of the videos. My girl friend has both. She shoots the LCR 22 about 75% of the time for some really good and cheap practice, and she shoots the LCR 38 about 25% of the time. They're virtually identical so she builds muscle memory with either gun. It's nice when you don't have to worry about ammo cost.

Ruger LCR Range Review - Part II: High ARCC Factor - YouTube
You are not limited to looking at DA only revolvers, most good pistol smiths can convert your favorite DA/SA in to DA only. Friend had work done on his 3 inch S&W model 66 DA only with a trigger job by( I believe) Cylinder and Slide custom guns and it really shoots very well.
I tried to think of an answer, but realized I have no idea what ya'll are talking about. I'm not familiar with EDC, AARC or ARCC. I do know the LCR is a Ruger revolver, beyond that I'm lost.
But I would think a good Ruger Blackhawk in .44 Special or .45 Colt would do the trick. Seems to work in most cases.
Bob Wright
Excuse me! You're taking about double actions revolvers. Smith & Wesson Model 586.
the best double action trigger i ever shot was the python.... a very close second and a gun i own is the smith 586.... so close that i bet none but a python fanatic would be able to tell the difference.
a DAO revolver has to be the S&W's with the hammer bobbed off
or the Ruger LCR's
these two are the only ones I would buy
That is very subjective. The LCR has a very good trigger pull for a new revolver. I prefer Smith and Wesson's and will pay a good smith to work the action. I had an LCR but just did not like it compared to a J frame smith. The Colt revolver trigger stacks and I for one prefer the Smith trigger.
A really good smith can do lovely things with a Smith & Wesson trigger, especially one of the older models that start off being very nice. It's well worth the money, and vastly increases your choices. If you're ever in Louisville I can recommend a real artist at that kind of work!
The LCR is good except for the reset isnt the best, but its workable
Your thread title said, "Best double action trigger" yet your first sentence said, "I am looking for double action only..". Which one do you want? A DA or a DAO?

Lifestyle changes may improve your bladder control problem or enhance your response to medical treatments. Find out about these strategies for improving bladder control problems.
You've been struggling with the embarrassment and discomfort of a bladder control problem for some time now. Maybe you hoped it would go away on its own, but things aren't getting any better. In fact, your bladder control problem seems to be getting worse.
You're ready to make some changes, but what exactly can you do? There are some simple strategies you can try on your own that may help improve your bladder control problem.
Doctors often call these strategies "lifestyle modifications" or "behavior therapies." They're safe, easy, effective and inexpensive. These techniques can be used before trying other types of treatment, such as medications or surgery, or in combination with them.
How much fluid you drink and the types of food you eat may influence your bladder habits.
Drinking too much fluid of any kind makes you urinate more often. If you drink too much over a short time, this can overwhelm your bladder and create a strong sense of urgency. If you exercise a lot or work outdoors regularly, you may need to drink more fluids.
Rather than drink a large amount all at once, try drinking smaller amounts throughout the day. For example, drink about two 8-ounce glasses (237 milliliters) at each meal and one 8-ounce glass between meals. That way, you'll end up at the recommended amount of roughly 8 cups (about 1.9 liters) of fluid daily.
If you have to get up several times at night to urinate, try drinking more of your fluids in the morning and afternoon, and eliminate alcohol and caffeinated beverages. Although water is best for your bladder, remember that fluids come from any beverage you drink and from foods such as soup.
Drinking too little fluid can lead to increased amounts of body waste products in your urine. Highly concentrated urine is dark yellow and has a strong smell. It can irritate your bladder, increasing the urge and frequency with which you need to go.
Some foods and beverages can irritate your bladder. Caffeine and alcohol both increase urine production. This can lead to increased frequency and urgency of urination. Caffeine can also cause bladder spasms.
Certain acidic fruits — oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes — and fruit juices, spicy foods, tomato-based products, carbonated drinks, artificial sweeteners, corn syrup, sugar, chocolate, coffee, and tea may irritate your bladder or make you leak urine. Why these items sometimes cause irritation isn't understood, and what causes bladder irritation may vary from person to person.
If caffeine or alcohol are regular parts of your diet, try eliminating them for about a week to see if your symptoms improve. Consider also avoiding foods that might be bladder irritants for about a week or so. Then gradually — every one to two days — add one food back into your diet, noting any changes in urinary urgency, frequency or incontinence.
You might not have to eliminate your favorite foods entirely. Simply cutting down on the amount might help, too.
When you have an overactive bladder, you can get used to urinating frequently or at the slightest urge. Sometimes, you may go to the toilet even when you don't have the urge because you want to avoid an accident. After a while, your bladder begins sending "full" messages to your brain even when it's not full, and you feel compelled to urinate.
Bladder training, or retraining, involves adjusting your habits. You go to the toilet on a set schedule — even if you have no urge to urinate — gradually increasing the time between urination. This allows your bladder to fill more fully and gives you more control over the urge to urinate.
A bladder-training program usually follows these basic steps:
Don't be discouraged if you don't succeed the first few times. Keep practicing, and your ability to maintain control is very likely to increase.
Your pelvic floor muscles and urinary sphincter help control urination. You can strengthen these muscles by regularly doing pelvic floor exercises, commonly referred to as Kegels.
The pelvic floor muscles work to open and close the urethra — the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the exterior of your body. These muscles also support the bladder as you exert yourself doing everyday activities such as walking, standing, lifting and sneezing.
Practice Kegel exercises. To perform Kegels, squeeze your pelvic floor muscles as if you're trying to stop your stream of urine. Your doctor may recommend that you do a set of these exercises three or four times a day to treat your bladder control problem.
Kegels are especially effective for women with stress incontinence, but they can also help reduce or eliminate urge incontinence.
You may want to ask your doctor for help or to refer you to a specialist who can teach you the proper way to do these exercises, because many people unknowingly do them incorrectly.
Certain medications, excess weight, smoking and physical inactivity may indirectly contribute to bladder control problems. If you address these factors, bladder-specific techniques — such as avoiding bladder irritants and bladder training — may be even more likely to work.
Behavior therapies can improve bladder control with minimal side effects. These techniques take time and practice before you see results. But persistence pays off. If you stick with the program, you'll likely see an improvement in your symptoms. And if one of these approaches doesn't work, talk with your doctor about exploring other treatment options that may help.

In his book, Motherland Lost: The Egyptian and Coptic Quest for Modernity, Samuel Tadros traces the story of Egypt's Christians throughout the centuries until the present day. Rejecting the dominating narratives that have shaped the understanding of the Coptic predicament--their eternal persecution, from the Roman and Byzantine emperors to the rule of Islam, and the national unity discourse, he argues that the modern plight of Copts is inseparable from the crisis of modernity.
As Egypt's intellectuals and state modernizers attempted to answer the challenges posed by the discovery of the West's advancement, Copts were faced with a similar crisis with the onslaught of foreign missionaries and the challenge of modernizing their ancient church. Narrating the long history of the Copts, the book traces their banishment from the public sphere by consecutive regimes, even under Egypt's most liberal order. As turmoil continues in Egypt, the Coptic predicament persists as part of Egypt's quest for a place under the sun.
This event will be moderated by Tarek Masoud, Associate Professor of Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School.
About Samuel Tadros:
Samuel Tadros is a Research Fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom. He is a Contributor to the Hoover Institution's Herbert and Jane Dwight Working Group on Islamism and the International Order. Previously Tadros was a Professorial Lecturer at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University. His current research focuses on Egyptian politics, Islamist movements, and the fate of religious minorities. He is the author of Motherland Lost: The Egyptian and Coptic Quest for Modernity.
Before joining Hudson in 2011, Tadros was a Senior Partner at the Egyptian Union of Liberal Youth, an organization that aims to spread the ideas of classical liberalism in Egypt. Born and raised in Egypt, he received an M.A. in Democracy and Governance from Georgetown University and a B.A. in Political Science from the American University in Cairo. He has studied at the Coptic Theological Seminary in Cairo. In 2007 he was chosen by the State Department for its first Leaders for Democracy Fellowship Program in collaboration with Syracuse University's Maxwell School. Mr. Tadros' articles have been published by the Wall Street Journal, National Review, Current Trends, World Affairs, and The Weekly Standard. He has frequently appeared on a variety of TV channels including Fox News, CNN, Sky News, Al Hurra, Al Jazeera, and WSJ Opinion.

Ok, so to make a long story short (a very long story lol)... I use windows 7 on c:\ as my main OS, I used unetbootin to create a bootable live environment on c:\ along side windows 7. The purpose was to install BT5r3 (KDE 32bit ISO) to my d:\ (a seperate physical hdd). I can launch the live environment from booting to c:\ from bios (I am no longer able to boot into windows but I will worry about that later, I assume that is just a simple repair but I want a stable copy of linux installed before I worry about that.) However when I boot to D:\ where I installed BT5r3 to (used entire hard disk space option in installer) it comes up as a blank screen with a blinking underscore top left. So the only OS I am able to boot up is the live environment of BT5r3 that is on my c:\ and from there I am now unable to launch the installer again. I am using a msi 790fx-gd70 mobo, phenom II x4 965 processor, 8 gb ram
I would like to get it so I can at least boot into d:\ and have a stable installed OS running before I attempt to repair windows so any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

5 Stocks With Recent Dividend Boosts - 21427 views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- It's no surprise that earnings season is continuing to provide a smorgasbord for income investors this quarter. That's something that we touched on recently, as a handful of dividend-payers announced increases in their payouts to shareholders.
While decent performance in the S&P 500 is taking some of the glitz and glamour away from income payers (capital appreciation is often the more in-your-face method of earning returns), investors shouldn't forget just how crucial dividend stocks can be to their portfolio returns.
After all, statistics show that it pays to buy dividend stocks. Over the last 36 years, dividend stocks outperformed the rest of the S&P 500 by 2.5% annually, and they outperformed nonpayers by nearly 8% every year, all while paying out cash to their shareholders, according to a study from NDR.
More From Stockpickr
That said, not all dividend stocks are created equal. While that statistic applies to all companies that pay dividends, the companies that increase those dividend payouts over time are even better.
We regularly take a look at income stocks paying out cash to investors. This time around, we'll focus on firms increasing their payouts. With that, here's a look at five new dividend payment boosts.
Dow Chemical
First up this week is Dow Chemical (DOW), a $46 billion manufacturer of chemicals and other raw materials that are used in a wide array of consumer and industrial applications.
Not surprisingly, the "Great Recession" hit Dow hard as global demand for its offerings contracted amid uncertainty in the marketplace. But the company took diminished valuations across the board as an opportunity to grow its business through acquisitions at rock-bottom prices and shore up its efficiency while expectations remained uncharacteristically low.
Today, Dow sports a more attractive portfolio that should benefit from anticipated manufacturing increases in the next few years. In the process of shoring up its operations (and divesting itself of less admirable businesses), Dow has managed to strengthen its balance sheet and deepen its margins -- two major factors that should contribute to continued dividend payouts for shareholders.
Its recent dividend increase brings the firm's payout to 25 cents per share, a 66.7% increase.
Dow Chemical shows up in the portfolios of Dodge & Cox, with a 44.2 million-share position as of the most recently reported period, and Charles Brandes' Brandes Investment Partners, with a 6.7 million-share position.
Despite relatively tepid price appreciation in the broad market, shareholders of Fastenal (FAST) have already tapped into nearly double-digit gains thus far in 2011. Those returns have just increased thanks to the company's 4% dividend increase. Even though the dividend hike is hardly the biggest of the group, it's Fastenal's consistent increase in shareholder payouts that make it worth watching for income investors.
Fastenal is a league leader in the industrial and construction supply business, carrying nearly a million different fasteners, tools and other products at its nearly 2,500 stores worldwide. Though the depth of Fastenal's offerings is daunting, it's really the firm's geographic footprint that gives it a competitive edge against this smaller, fragmented market. Because few can compete on a scale basis with Fastenal, this stock has seen striking growth numbers in recent years.
Even more auspicious is the recovery that's currently in-process in the construction business. Because construction amounts to nearly a quarter of the company's total revenues, the nearly 20% improvement in sales to the sector suggest even more impressive long-term growth for investors who weren't scared away from a potential shortfall in customers. Expect this stock to continue its trend of modest dividend increases lock in step with fundamental growth.
Fastenal is one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated trading and distributors stocks.
Procter & Gamble
With a $176 billion market cap and a 3.33% dividend yield, Procter & Gamble (PG) is the prototypical blue chip income stock. But with consistent, double-digit dividend growth rate (even in the midst of the recession), this stock is anything but typical in its income generation. Its recent 9% dividend hike continues Procter's trend of income outperformance.
Not only is this stock's track record of income generation impressive, so too is its capital growth. While the S&P has produced paltry 1.92% gains in the trailing five years, Procter has managed to offer up more than six times those returns, generating 12.07% before dividends over that same period. That's a material difference.
Like many other large firms, Procter & Gamble shifted its focus to improving efficiency in 2007 and 2008, boosting its margins and decreasing the damage that decreased sales numbers could bring to the company's income statement. With a solid, top-notch balance sheet and massive free cash flow generation abilities stemming from a portfolio of leading household brands, Procter is a good core holding for any income portfolio.
P&G, one of the top-yielding consumer non-durables stocks and one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated household products stocks, shows up in a recent list of 4 Cheap Dividend Stocks With Upside.
United Technologies
United Technologies (UTX) is another recent notable large-cap dividend increase -- the company announced a 12.9% dividend hike that brings its quarterly payout to shareholder up to 48 cents per share. That's a 2.2% yield at current prices.
Like Procter, United Technologies has been home to strong capital appreciation in the past, albeit at a cost of substantially higher volatility. Buyers beware: with deep exposure to the construction and aerospace industries, UTX owns a set of businesses that are extremely beholden to the ebb and flow of the business cycle. That said, UTX isn't quite the same as the other companies in its peer groups.
For starters, the company owns a portfolio of innovative firms that benefit from an absolutely massive backlog that's currently in excess of $50 billion. The yearlong lag in that backlog helps to smooth the company's earnings throughout tougher times.
United Technologies, one of Ken Fisher's top holdings, is one of the top-yielding conglomerates stocks.
General Electric
Speaking of conglomerates, General Electric (GE) has been in focus on Wall Street today because of an impressive bit of earnings surprise in this morning's first quarter numbers -- and a 7.1% dividend increase that brings GE's payout to 15 cents per share. (Not to mention that GE was one of our recent Must-See Charts)
While GE's dividend suffered a major pullback from the impressive 31-cent per share payout that investors were able to claim just a few years ago, it's an understandable change given the firm's excessive exposure to the credit market through its then challenged GE Capital business unit. Consistent increases in the firm's dividend payout are a priority for management; now GE can become a priority for income-seekers again.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their help in searching for my stepdad on Sunday, Aug. 18.
Everyone's help was greatly appreciated. A very special thanks to the Owen County Sheriff's Department, the Owen County Search and Rescue team, Grandpaws, the Owen County Life Squad, PHI and all the other volunteers and agencies who were involved in the search.
Lisa Renfro
Owen County
We had an a great turnout for our first event with more than 35 people in attendance. We had 20 volunteers sign up to join our growing team of Owen County residents ready to fight drug addiction in our community.
If you missed this meeting, you definitely missed a blessing but don't worry we are just getting started and there will be many more.
In fact, this Friday from 8 to 9 a.m., we will be having a planning meeting at the Wild Goose Café to schedule future meetings, fund raising events and Celebrate Recovery ideas.
Learning that a new underground pipeline may be coming through Kentucky has some folks asking questions. What are the risks? What about my land? What about the environmental impact? These are just a few things Kentuckians have a right to know about the proposed Bluegrass Pipeline Project.
But those parties that use scare tactics to oppose such projects do not want you to hear the truth: that underground pipelines are a safe and effective method for transporting the energy products on which the American economy depends.
This Sunday, Aug. 11, the Owen County school system will honor a long-time valued educator as she retires.
Ms. Jo Wallace moved to Owen County to teach in the fall of 1970 and has made this community her home and its children her family. We would like to encourage all who have been touched by her 43 years of dedicated service to join us as we wish her well in her retirement.
The open house is from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Maurice Bowling Middle School.
The Owenton/Owen County Volunteer Fire Departments would like to thank the following agencies and people for their help during the accident on Friday, July 3.
I am writing to provide correct information related to the article "City Rejects Request for Downtown Rezoning" from June 19.
Dr. Clay hasn't gone anywhere.
He is still in his dermatology office off Mount Zion Road.
Regarding the News-Herald editorial from June 13:
I for one am dismayed that the federal government may track and retain information on who I call and email, which websites I visit or comments I make through social media.
We would like to give a very special thanks for everyone who supported our fourth-annual tractor show.
We had a great turn out. We could not do this if it wasn't for people like you coming out and supporting us.
We would also like to thank all our sponsors that support our tractor show.
We would like to give a very special thank you for everyone that participated in the tractor drive we had for the tribe of Lester Tuggle on June 15.
He has been a farmer of Owen County for 86 years and he will be truly missed by many.
The Facebook webpage "Owenton - KY Elementary School" has received a lot of attention from News-Herald readers and I would like to thank the paper and supporters.
There are two additional pages I have recently created: Owenton - KY High School" and "Owen County - KY High School."
These are works in progress, which will be more interesting when the pages are visited regularly, people make comments, and share their school photos online. Many articles and pictures from the News-Herald have been used.

Queens cemeteries
Visit the borough's burial grounds for pleasant strolls and fantastic views, and to see the final resting places of the great and the good.
Mon Jul 26 2010
Calvary Cemetery
Calvary Cemetery
At 365 acres, Calvary is one of the largest cemeteries in the country, but it's the panoramic city views that make this Catholic tract worth a visit. Bounded by highways and Newtown Creek, its long rows of obelisks blend into the skyline at the horizon, as if the Chrysler Building were marking another tomb. It sprawls in two separate portions around the BQE—a bike is useful—and the southern, older half dates to 1848, when most burials were of Irish immigrants from lower Manhattan. By the 1990s, Old and New Calvary had a total of 3 million burials, almost as many as the population of Queens, including a fair share of gangsters; appropriately, Vito Corleone's funeral in The Godfather was filmed here. 33-52 Greenpoint Ave between Bradley and Gale Aves, Long Island City (718-786-8000)
Flushing Cemetery and Martins Field
The pretty grounds of Flushing Cemetery (163-06 46th Ave between 163rd and 164th Sts, Flushing; 718-359-0100) opened in 1853, host some major souls: Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and Bernard Baruch all lie here. You won't find any boldface names across the street at the unrelated Martins Field (46th Ave between 164th and 165th Sts, Flushing; nycgovparks.org), but it's the final—and unmarked—resting place of hundreds of African- and Native Americans who were shut out of white cemeteries in the 19th century. Turned into a playground in the 1930s, the site has only recently become a memorial and park.
The Lawrence Cemetery
One of many small family plots tucked around the borough, the wooded Lawrence holds 40 graves dug between 1832 and 1939, though the prominent Lawrence family has owned this land since 1645. Today the landmarked site is maintained by the Bayside Historical Society and is open only by appointment. Arrange a visit to see the eternal home of its most famous resident, 1830s New York mayor Cornelius Van Wyck Lawrence; others include a president of the New York Stock Exchange and a Civil War colonel. 216th St at 42nd Ave, Bayside (718-352-1548, baysidehistorical.org)
Mount Olivet Cemetery
In 1884, this once-boggy corner of Queens made local headlines when a ghost was spotted with a carving knife, wailing into the night; 50 shotgun-toting citizens failed to track it down. Today this landscaped "garden cemetery" makes for a more pleasant stroll, with shady paths winding through its 71 acres. One spirit we'd actually like to see is legendary stride pianist James P. Johnson. Having died in 1955, he'd lay in an unmarked grave here until 2009, when fans raised enough money to finally buy him a headstone. 65-40 Grand Ave at Remsen Pl, Maspeth (718-326-1777, mountolivetcemeterynyc.com)
Prospect Cemetery
Filled with thousands of burials dating to 1668, including Revolutionary and Civil War veterans, this overgrown, 4.5-acre lot includes the 1857 Chapel of the Sisters, built by local resident Nicholas Ludlum in memory of his dead daughters. His descendant Cate Ludlam leads the volunteer Prospect Cemetery Association today, and points to a hand-carved mica slab as a favorite tombstone: "It says 1728, YE9DE, THO* WIGGENS, and in the fall at sunset it sparkles." Ludlam happily gives tours by appointment; gates are usually locked, except during public events, such as monthly jazz concert that starts in September. York College Campus, 94-15 159th St between Beaver Rd and Liberty Ave, Jamaica (prospectcemeteryassociation.org). For cemetery tours, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. For neighborhood tours, go to prospectcemeteryassociation.org: Sept 11, Oct 9 1--3pm; free.

Children of Bodom is a Finnish band from the city of Espoo, near Helsinki. The name of the band comes from one of the most famous Finnish murder cases of all time. (The murdering of three teenagers one night at Lake Bodom back in the 60's.) Early Children of Bodom albums are inspired by classical music and death metal (Red Light in My Eyes pt. 1 starts with a line from J.S.

If this shirt prints, I will get one to contribute to the Houston Holocaust Museum's Butterfly Project
From the Museum's page:
"The butterfly - with its story of rebirth and transformation into new life - has become a symbol of freedom from oppression, intolerance and hatred ever since Pavel Friedman, a young boy held captive in the Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia, wrote his poem "I Never Saw Another Butterfly."
A total of 15,000 children under the age of 15 passed through the Terezin camp from 1942 to 1944. Approximately 90 percent of these children perished. To remember all of the 1.5 million children who died in the Holocaust, Holocaust Museum Houston is collecting 1.5 million butterflies prepared from arts and crafts materials for a breath-taking exhibition in 2013 that all will remember.
For more information on how you can help complete The Butterfly Project, visit www.hmh.org.
Totally original, and a really fun, appealing style without going the cutesy-route. (Not that there's anything wrong with cutesy town, it's a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.)

Green Bay Dealt Heartbreaking Loss at Loyola
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
CHICAGO (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay took sets one and two on Saturday afternoon against the hosts from Loyola, but the Ramblers rallied back to win the next three and hand the Phoenix a heartbreaking 3-2 loss at Gentile Arena in Chicago. Green Bay drops to 9-9 overall and 1-4 in the Horizon League, while Loyola improves to 13-6 and 5-1 in conference play.
The Phoenix, which entered with a five-match winning streak against the Ramblers, earned comeback wins in each of the first two sets and started fast in the deciding fifth set, but it wasn't enough as Loyola prevailed 21-25, 28-30, 25-23, 25-23 15-10 for its fourth straight win.
Green Bay trailed 12-7 and 18-12 in the opening set, but a 6-0 run knotted the score at 18-18, and the Phoenix took its first lead since the early moments at 20-19 after a Loyola attack error. Thanks in part to a pair of Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) kills, Green Bay closed with 6-2 run to earn the 25-21 win and move ahead 1-0.
Set two was a similar story, as the Phoenix prevailed 30-28 after falling behind 9-3 in the early going and trailing 21-18 late. Back-to-back kills by Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) and Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) helped Green Bay even the score at 21-21, and the Phoenix grabbed its first lead since 2-1 at 22-21. Loyola inched back ahead and had three set-point chances (24-23, 25-24 and 27-26), but Green Bay denied each one and regained control, closing out the 30-28 win with another Zabkowicz kill.
Green Bay had its eyes on the sweep in set three, leading 22-20 late, but back-to-back scores by the Ramblers tied things up at 22-22. The home team notched three of the next four points, capped off by a block by Kathleen Vogel, to come away with the 25-23 win.
Loyola built a sizable advantage in the fourth, leading 22-15, but Phoenix didn't go away easily. Green Bay went on an 8-2 run to make it 24-23, but a kill by Nichole Riedel sealed it for the Ramblers with another 25-23 victory.
The Phoenix bolted out to a 4-0 lead in the fifth and final set, causing Loyola to burn a timeout, but the home team regrouped and tied the score at 6-6. Green Bay held an 8-7 edge when the two teams switched sides, but the Ramblers rattled off eight of the next 10 points to win 15-10 and complete the comeback.
Green Bay finished with the advantage in hitting percentage (.187-.134), and out-blocked the Ramblers 17-11. Zabkowicz led all players in the match with 20 kills, hitting .296, while Van Zeeland also reached double-figures in kills with 14. Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) paced the Phoenix front line with a career-high-tying nine blocks, and Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) led the back row with a team-high 32 digs.
Reigning Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week Anna Eytchison led three Ramblers players in double-digit kills with 16. Brittany Brown ran the Loyola offense with a match-high 52 assists, while Stephanie Kinane led all players with 33 digs.
After four straight on the road, Green Bay returns to the friendly confines of the Kress Center for a three-match homestand next week, beginning with its final non-conference contest against Chicago State on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Phoenix then resumes Horizon League competition against Valparaiso on Friday (7 p.m.) and Wright State on Saturday (4 p.m.).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|O.K. To answer your question, ANYTHING you put in/on the vehicle to reduce noise, heat, and vibration will be an improvement over nothing. I personally believe that you don't have to buy an expensive product to accomplish this. Probably the biggest bargain of the bunch is Thermozite, and probably the most over-rated product is Dynamat. You need to know that these products are intended to dampen sound. They are intended to make a car audio system sound better inside the car, and anything beyond that is just gravy. Put in whatever you can afford to quiet your car down. My only recommendations are to put the thinnest product you can find on the floor of the vehicle under whatever you prefer for carpet padding and any other places where space is at a premium. Beyond that, anything you do will be an improvement. These are just my own opinions. If you believe that there's more to it than what I just described, by all means buy whatever you want and use it.
|SMF Speed&Custom
BTW, I also was looking at Sound Deadener Showdown products. Anyone have anything to say about them? I have read the forums here and hear all sorts of mixed opinions when it comes to Dynamat, Fatmat, KoolIt, Sound Deadener Showdown products, etc. Right now for me it's between Fat Mat and doing my last coat of POR-15 with Wick's Micro Balloons or POR-15 and Sound Deadener Showdown products.
Preferences anyone?
|SMF Speed&Custom
Thanks for the info guys! The kit that Dynamat has does do a whole car but my problem is is that I have two to do right now and then one more right after these two.
I thought about the cheap alternatives like Peel and Stick and then the bubble insulation wrap they use on hot water heaters but I do not want to use that stuff. IMO it was meant to be on a house for a reason. I have used the Peel and Stick before and it did fine but it's a tar based product unlike 3M Q-Pads and Dynamat.
DanTwoLakes, what do you think about buying double sided foil jute by the yardage? www.yourautotrim.com, www.perfectfit.com and a few other online places have it for about $16 and some change for a 48" wide yard of it to insulate and I guess it will help sound deaden. I am not set on Dynamat brand by any means, just something that I can completely cover the inside of the doors, the floors, firewall, etc. I guess the stick type pads (peel and stick or 3M Q-Pads) just need to be done in sections to get the tinny sound out. I am guessing the 3M Q-Pads are fine/best for this?
Thanks again guys! I have been reading quite a bit of threads here and learning a lot. I love doing the interior stuff and always wanted to learn so I guess now is my chance. I've installed insulation and carpets before but never really touched sewing/stitching and things of that sort.
|Check out Dynamat prices on E-Bay. They seem to be much lower there.
|I think if you do a search for dynamat you'll find discussions on cheaper alternatives.
|I think DynaMat makes a kit that has enough material to do one car. With what you want to do that should be more than enough.

Buying in Bulk
I am in the process of doing the interior in my 1980 El Camino and 1968 Lincoln Continental and wanting to buy Dynamat or something very similar but in bulk for a cheaper cost since I have quite a bit to do and want to completely cover everything inside. Also I would like to get something like 3M's Q-Pads. Any idea if there is a way to save and buy this stuff in bulk somewhere? If so then any links to the sites or info would be greatly appreciated! I have the interior out of both and ready to start putting it into the El Camino at the moment.
Thanks a lot for any info!

The Canisius baseball team lost the rubber game by the score of 4-3 at Fairfield University on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Griffins lose their first conference series of the season and drop to 19-10 overall and 7-2 in MAAC play.
Fairfield (12-12, 6-2 MAAC) got on the board in the bottom of the second with an unearned run off Canisius starter Devon Stewart. The Griffs would leave the bases loaded in the third, and Canisius would load the bases again in the fourth. An RBI groundout from freshman Christ Conley tied the game at 1-1. Senior Shane Zimmer would score on a passed ball to give the Griffs a one-run lead.
Fairfield scored its second unearned run of the day in the fifth to tie the score at 2-2. Canisius would reclaim the lead in the seventh with an unearned run of its own. Sophomore Anthony Massicci drew a one-out walk and senior Jesse Kelso reached on an error. A wild pitch advanced each runner into scoring position, and junior Connor Panas beat out a two-out, infield single to second base to put the Griffs up 3-2.
The Stags knotted the score in the bottom of the eighth with back-to-back doubles to lead off the inning. An RBI double from Rob LoPinto made it 3-3. After a wild pitch moved pinch runner Eric Fajardo to third base, a safety squeeze bunt by Sal Ciccone scored Fajardo for what proved to be the game-winning run. Sophomore Iannick Remillard struck out the final two batters to keep Fairfield's lead at 4-3.
Massicci led off the ninth with a single and after a sacrifice bunt from Kelso, senior Jimmy Luppens reached on an error to put two runners on base. Fairfield closer Jeremy Soule got a pop out and groundout to save the game and give the series to the Stags.
Junior Connor Panas and Massicci each had two hits for Canisius and a walk for the Griffs.
Stewart (3-3) took the loss for the Griffs, allowing four runs (two earned) in 7.1 innings.
Canisius begins its second eight-game homestand of the season with a midweek game against Akron on Wednesday. First pitch at the Demske Sports Complex is set for 3 p.m.
Notes: Fairfield takes the series from Canisius for the third consecutive season… Puscheck reached base for the 32nd consecutive game with a sixth-inning walk… Panas extended his hitting streak to 13 games, the longest on the team this season… Canisius has lost three of its last four games, all by one run…
