I think Hello has you on the right track. For you to purchase this boat you should first determine what has compressed and why. Then you will be able to judge whether your shim is a cure or a cough medecine. It would seem to me that Beneteau, by suggesting the shim, feels that it has compressed as much as it can. Now they want you to bow the thinner, compressed section of deck upwards. Could it be that the real solution would be to rebuild that portion of deck from something less compressible? (Thus fixing any potential water intrusion simultaneously.)
Did the compression post actually "sink in" to it's step? If so then shim. If not, fix the real problem.
Oh yeah, ignore all the Beneteau haters. It's not just your boat they hate, it's most boats!
"The "over-tightening rigging" sounds like a red herring " Not necessarily. I've seen the head doors jam in a number of boats because of over-enthusiastic rig tightening. Among other things.
If there's a solid filler under the mast (as there should be) and there's a compression post/beam/system under the deck (again, as there should be)...You'd have to do a real gorilla job to compress a good marine grade filler under the mast. But I think we've all met marine gorillas, I just can't remember the proper Latin name for the species.
"Yeah just stick a plate under it to regain the thickness and slack off the rigging" could actually be simply good advice, once upon a time that's how things were "made do" done. OF course, as a card-carrying cynic I'd be reluctant to do that without opening up the deck and actually SEEING what had happened inside it. Or getting something else (ultrasound?
It sounds like this is worth a longer call to Beneteau, to ask them for more information on the larger picture.

That compression occurs is the problem. I don't see how putting a plate under the post necssarily fixes that - I guess it will get the deck back in line, but what does it do to prevent futher compression from occurring? Will there be three of four plates in place when you go to sell the boat...and what will Beneteau have to say then.
|mike dryver
if beneteau is telling you to put a plate between the comp post a nd floor it seems to me there is a design or cons. prob. at this point or the boat in gen. i would tell ben. to fix it so they are responsible for future prob. but you know they won't. sounds to me they know this is prob. and are giving a quick rem. i would steer away from this boat. that is your right even if you signed a purchase and sales agreement. if the floor is giving that much because of rig tension what will it do in a seaway under adverse conditions. only a quest for thought.

|It is a big deal. SD is right the compression usually causes the leaks. I'm not stupid enough to say its a defective design, but it shouldn't be that way. period.
|Often the compression of the deck is what leads to the water damage—not the other way around. A properly designed boat would have a compression post or bulkhead that spread the load properly and prevented the deck from sinking down at the base of the mast.
Usually that kind of compression means water damage in the deck under the mast, and that can be fixed--and routinely is.
So are you guys saying the B381 is built defectively and the deck compresses under the mast even without any water damage? Or, in either case, that there's some reason the B381 can't be repaired the way any other compressed deck would be repaired?
It sounds like this is just a question of "there's something wrong with this boat, let's figure out who's going to pay to fix it" and deal with it like any other repair. Either DIY or by a glass shop, it shouldn't be a big deal unless there's something really wrong with these boats.
I'd agree with CP and say get out of the contract... The boat is only seven years old, and that's a fairly serious design flaw. Bendytoys is going to say it'll be fine with a 3/16" stainless plate, because they're interest is in getting you to buy their boat, even if it is secondhand. The plate will corrode and may cause other problems, especially if the floor isn't properly supported to handle the load it will transmit.
I've sailed on 30+ year old Cape Dorys and Albergs with deck stepped masts and many of them don't have this problem... on a properly designed boat, it just shouldn't happen.
Jeff, unless you're totally sold on the boat...
Cancel the contract due to the problem and find another boat.
I've seen a couple of these with the same problem, and I just shake my head at Bene's answer. "just throw a hunk o' steel underneath, it'll be fine."
While it is true you do spread the load out under the mast, there isn't a lot of support built into the deck to begin with, so all you're doing is lessening the problem. I'm not a structural engineer, but you don't stand on a liliy pad, no matter how big the pad is.
This is just my opinion, that and .50 will get you a newspaper.
Beneteau seems to have acknowledged that this is a condition requiring repairs. The fact that such a recent boat has this problem should be a bit of a red flag.
If this is the model you have your heart set on, there must be more of them around... check them out for the same issues. Maybe look into buying one without said problem, but keep in mind that it may simply not have had that problem yet.
If the deal justifies the hassle of repairing things to start with, and - most important- the repairs are properly carried out, you could end up with a perfectly fine boat.

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State University student Nick Boddicker said it was an honor to be recognized by the National Swine Improvement Federation with its Lauren L. Christian Memorial Graduate Student Award.
"I am most proud of this because, by nominating me, my major professor Jack Dekkers considered me worthy of consideration for such an impressive award," he said.
The Lauren L. Christian graduate student award is named for the first director of the Iowa Pork Industry Center at Iowa State and is presented annually to an outstanding graduate student whose research includes a swine genetic component. Recipients are selected by NSIF based on the scientific merit of their work and their commitment to the swine industry.
Boddicker is a doctoral student in animal breeding and genetics, including the use of genetic traits as a means of improving animal health. His research focuses on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, also known as PRRS.
Boddicker, a Newhall native, said that receiving the award as an Iowa State student makes the experience even better.
"I was drawn to Iowa State for my bachelor's degree because of the quality of the animal science department, and it reinforced my decision to remain at Iowa State for my master's and doctoral programs," Boddicker said. "The experience I've had at Iowa State is second to none, and I'm grateful for all of the mentors, faculty, classmates and friends I've met here."
Boddicker plans to work for an animal breeding company after completing his degree.
Iowa State has a strong record of being well represented by students who have received the Lauren L. Christian Memorial Graduate Student Award. Boddicker is the 11th such recipient since the award was first offered in 1993.
NSIF president Benny Mote presents a plaque for the 2012 Lauren L. Christian Graduate Student Award to ISU animal science student Nick Boddicker.

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say we are all glad your brother is one of the "good statistics" that comes out of Iraq.
As far as changing your mind, it is your money and your choice so really about all anyone can do is make suggestions and hopefully back up their opinion with some sort of rational logic. The bottom line is that if you are going to carry, get the largest caliber you can handle and carry comfortably. Obviously you should also talk to your brother (which I am sure you have already) and see what he thinks. While I am sure there are other decorated vets that may be equally as qualified, I would think that your brother's opinion, if anyone's, should matter most of all.

At Regents Meeting, a Protest Over School Improvement Grants
ALBANY -- Last week, New York State's education commissioner, John B. King Jr., used perhaps the only leverage he has to compel school districts and their unions to agree on the parameters of an evaluation system for teachers and principals assigned to struggling schools: He shut off the federal grants that were meant to improve them.
On Monday, as Dr. King sat on a Board of Regents meeting inside the Education Department offices here, just across from the state's Capitol, protesters convened on the steps outside to decry his decision.
The gathering was noticeable not because of its size -- there were perhaps 20 people attending -- but because it brought together two sides whose disagreements presumably were to blame for the grants' suspension: school officials and teachers' union representatives.
Richard C. Iannuzzi, the president of the state's teachers' union, got things started by calling Dr. King a "bully." The Albany schools superintendent, Raymond Coluciello, took a more pragmatic approach, warning that 13 teachers would get layoff notices if the district does not continue to get the grant money.
Mr. Iannuzzi emphasized the "collaborative effort" by unions and school officials whose districts had lost access to the federal money. "They were at the table on December 31," he said, "and they were back at the table on January 1." But there was one exception, he said. "In New York City," Mr. Iannuzzi said, "there clearly came a point where there was a separation."
Negotiations between New York City officials and the United Federation of Teachers collapsed two days before Dec. 31, the deadline for the 10 districts receiving the grants to commit to an evaluation system. The city's schools chancellor, Dennis M. Walcott, said last week that there seemed to be no chance for a resolution. On Monday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo rejected the union's call to intervene.
"I'm not going to go between Mayor Bloomberg and the U.F.T.," Mr. Cuomo said in an interview by the Albany radio station Talk 1300 AM.
The city stands to lose $60 million in grant money, which 33 of its worst-performing schools had been counting on to pay for books, computers, after-school programs and the costs of extending the school day. The funding, known as school improvement grants, amounts to about $100 million statewide.
In an interview, Robert M. Bennett, chancellor emeritus of the Board of Regents, representing Buffalo and other school districts in western New York, said he supported Dr. King's decision to suspend the grants.
"It was a useful tool to indicate to the school boards, the superintendents and the union leaders that this is a serious matter," Mr. Bennett said.
The districts' failure to put evaluation systems in place for their struggling schools before the deadline could be a sign of bigger problems ahead. They were meant to serve as models for similar systems that must be adopted by public schools across the state as part of the federal Race to the Top program, which gave New York $700 million in education aid.
Unlike the grants, the Race to the Top program does not assign a deadline by which districts must have an evaluation system in place. But the federal government has been tracking states' progress in fulfilling the promises they made in their applications. It could eventually withdraw the money from states that do not fulfill expectations. Hawaii, which has been unable so far to get its teachers' union to agree to evaluations, has already been put on notice.

Arsène Wenger says Theo Walcott's recent dip in form was a result of his increasing defensive duties in an Arsenal shirt.
The winger bounced back to his best in Saturday's incredible victory at Chelsea with a fine performance down the right where he gave former Gunner Ashley Cole plenty of problems.
Walcott scored Arsenal's third goal of the game at Stamford Bridge and Wenger says the England man is now an improved player.
"Theo has been struggling because we are making him work very hard," the Frenchman admitted. "He is more a complete player today.
"He is not a liability defensively. He does his defensive job.
"At the start that makes you have heavy legs when you win the ball back. But now he wins the ball defensively and he is dangerous going forward. He works so hard."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Green Bay Hosts Fairfield for Festival Foods Family Game
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Continuing its season-long five-game homestand, the Green Bay men's basketball team will welcome Fairfield to the Resch Center on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. CT for the first Festival Foods Family Game of the 2013-14 season.
Tickets for Saturday's game start at only $9 for adults and $7 for youth tickets. The first 1,000 youth fans will receive a mini-basketball hoop set compliments of Fox Communities Credit Union. After the game, the Phoenix will welcome all kids in attendance onto the court for Free Throws with the Phoenix and player autographs.
On Tuesday night, Green Bay (7-3) held visiting Tennessee Tech to 25 points below its season average, and in the process opened up the homestand with a dominant 76-49 victory. The Phoenix will try to use similar defense to post its third-straight win on Saturday when it meets the Stags for the first time in program history.
In the victory over Tennessee Tech, Green Bay tallied 15 steals – tied for third-most all-time – and nine blocked shots – tied for seventh in program history. The Phoenix held the Golden Eagles to just 30.2 percent shooting from the field, including a 1-for-16 effort from long range. Senior Vincent Garrett (Chicago, Ill.) scored all of his career-high 16 points in the second half. Keifer Sykes (17) and Alec Brown (15) added a combined 32 points.
Fairfield comes to Green Bay after a 64-60 win over Northeastern last Sunday. The Stags defense sports an opponent field goal percentage of just 39.4 this season.
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #35 Vince Garrett, G, Sr., 6-6, 220
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: For fans who are unable to attend Saturday's game, the contest will be available on the Horizon League Network (live video) and WNFL 1440 AM (live audio) with Matt Menzl (play-by-play) and Cordero Barkley (color analyst) on the call.
WHAT A RUN: During Tuesday night's game, Green Bay found itself trailing 27-23 late in the first half. Over the course of the next 15 minutes and 27 seconds of game action, the Phoenix used a 38-3 run to take a 31-point lead. Tennessee Tech was held to just 1-of-19 shooting and committed 13 turnovers during the Phoenix spurt.
LONG SHOOTER: Despite standing 7-1 and being the team's starting center, Alec Brown has turned into one of Green Bay's top three-point shooters. After starting the season by missing his first seven three-pointers, Brown has made 14 of his past 25 shots from long range. For the season, Brown is 14-of-32 for 43.8 percent.
PHO SLAMMA JAMMA: The Anchorage Daily News tabbed the Phoenix as Pho Slamma Jamma during the Great Alaska Shootout, recognizing the team's high-flying style and highlight reel dunks. Green Bay's above the rim act was on display in the second half on Tuesday, with junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) throwing down three dunks and Vince Garrett adding a fourth. For the season, Mays has 14 of the team's 32 dunks through 10 games this season while 5-foot-11 junior Keifer Sykes has added 10.
SCORING GUARD: Sykes is off to a torrid start to his junior campaign. Averaging 21.1 points per game, Sykes leads the Horizon League and ranks in a tie for 26th nationally. The 5-foot-11 point guard has seven 20-point games this season, and against Virginia became the first player in the program's Division I history to score 20 or more in six-straight games. Sykes has reached double figures in 21-straight contests.
NATIONAL RANKINGS: Green Bay has three different players in the top-30 nationally in a statistical ranking. Sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) is fourth in the country in steals per game (3.1), senior Alec Brown ranks 17th in blocks per game (3.3), and junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) is tied for 26th in points per game (21.1).
GRAND THEFT PHOENIX: With 15 steals on Tuesday night, Green Bay ended just one shy of tying the program's record of 16. The 15 swipes set a Resch Center record, tied for the third-most all-time and were the most by a Phoenix squad since Dec. 13, 1989.
ON GUARD: Last season, head coach Brian Wardle's focus on the defensive end came to fruition with the Phoenix leading the Horizon League in field goal percentage defense and blocks per game. Green Bay has carried over the strong defense into the 2013-14 season. Wardle's squad again leads the conference in field goal percentage defense (.388) and blocks per game (8.0) while ranking second in three-point field goal percentage defense (.311), scoring defense (67.2) and steals (8.2).
BUILDING BLOCKS: With an average of 8.0 blocks per game, the Phoenix is second nationally. Green Bay has blocked 80 shots through 10 games and is well on its way to breaking the single-season program record for the fourth-straight season. Brown (33), Fouse (21) and Mays (11) are all on pace to block more shots this season than last season. Of the program's top-12 all-time single-game team block efforts, six have been recorded in 2013-14 and 10 have happened in the past three seasons.
STREAKING SOPHOMORE: Fouse opened the 2013-14 season by extending two impressive statistical streaks. The reigning rebounding champion in the Horizon League has grabbed five or more boards in 29 consecutive games. At Eastern Michigan, the 6-foot-7 sophomore wing had a streak of blocking a shot end at 30.
TOUGH LOSSES: Green Bay has dropped three games this season, losing to Wisconsin (12-0), Harvard (9-1) and Eastern Michigan (6-3) teams that have combined for a 27-4 record to date. The Phoenix held second-half leads against both Wisconsin and Harvard.

Fifteen hundred feet below the points of my crampons, windswept fjord ice bunches against the dark, 4,000-foot stone walls of Nachvak Fjord. The ice appears almost liquid, its brilliant emerald color – caused by flash-freezing – nearly glowing in contrast to the desaturated tones of the subarctic North. White snow. Black rock. Ashen sky.
I'm halfway up a nameless couloir in Labrador's Torngat Mountains – or to the Inuit, Torngait, which means "place where spirits dwell." Here, on the northeastern edge of North America, it's easy to feel alone – as if this land is empty and far from human reach. My ski partner and I are 125 miles from a village, 200 miles from a hospital or airstrip and 300 miles from a paved road. But the Torngait is far from unexplored.
For 7,000 years, tribes of the North have survived here, living off the land – the caribou, seals and arctic char. Only the polar bears have been here longer. Our base camp is an abandoned Moravian mission built in 1830 and called Hebron, or "place of refuge." There, we are camped with a group of Inuit hunters, elders and youth who have come back to their ancestral lands – now Torngat Mountains National Park – to harvest caribou and share stories of the way it used to be, not so long ago.
Elder Willie Etok began his life here, in Nachvak Fjord, 74 years ago. He lived in a sealskin tent in the summer and a sod hut in the winter. His mother made windows by sewing strips of dried sealskin into semi-opaque panes. He knows the shaded inlets and precipices by their Inuit names, translated literally to things like "good place for hunting seals," or "where char try to swim upstream." Each place holds memories, good and bad.
Another elder, Lutie, is old enough to remember the Spanish flu epidemic that killed most of his family. He remembers watching friends and family starve during lean winters. He remembers learning of WWII when a U.S. bomber crashed into the ice. Elders like Lutie and Willie remember clearly another epoch of northern life – life before prefab homes, snowmobiles and microwaves. Before expedition skiing.
My calves scream for relief from the strain of frontpointing for 2,000 feet. This small voluntary suffering, however, seems laughable compared to the realities of daily life in these fjords. It is the simple difference between sport and survival. But our hosts do not mock or resent our recreational presence, as I thought they might. They are interested in our objectives, and intensely proud that we came all the way to the Torngats to climb and ski. They are pleased to show their homeland to people who can appreciate its beauty, power and significance.
At the top of the couloir, I step into my skis at last. Three thousand feet below, the fjord gleams under clearing skies, and I see the cliff-shadowed cove where Willie once lived. His journey is astonishing – from sealskin tent to satellite TV – but his love for these mountains is unwavering in a way I could never understand.
A cold wind rushes inland, pushing ahead of it a skiff of fine snow, and as we slide gently into the 40-degree curve of the couloir, pride wells in my chest. I'm proud to know these mountains; to meet Willie, Lutie and the others who have chosen to preserve and share this place with the world; to hear their stories and feel the bond between land and culture. These mountains are alive, and here, where cliffs erupt from Arctic seas and polar bears stalk the ice like ghosts, the Torngait spirits will surely dwell forever.

I've had about as many brilliant ideas as Jug Johnson, and an equal amount of success.
For many years I corresponded with Colt to bring out an updated version of the New Service. Build it in .44 Magnum, give it the same cosmetic treatment as the Python. Even sell a three-gun set with the Diamondback and Python. No deal. Colt did introduce a .44 Magnum, finally, but in the Anaconda, a gun with as much appeal as forty miles of bad road. And in stainless steel, of all things! As my Dad used to say "A'int no sin to be ugly, but you could keep it at home." Or words to that effect.
And then I got into the Smith & Wesson Model 19. Beautiful sixgun. Fine sixgun. Great double action. What I wanted now was a J-Frame duplicate of the Model 19. The J-Frame Model 36 was a beautiful little gun, and the J-Frame was being introduced in .357 Magnum. Why not a 2 1/2" or 3" barrel with adjustable sights? Closest thing they got was in stainless, with those abominable fake-rubber grips.
And, how about a Model 19 with a 4" full lug barrel?
And why haven't the Italian gunmakers come out with a good copy of the New Frontier? I once had a Cattleman (imported by Iver Johnson) in .44 Magnum. Fine gun, nicely finished. Horrible sights.
Well, these have been my druthers over the years. Its evident how much of an impact I've had on the industry.

Box Score
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April 9, 2011) – St. John's opened the game with four straight goals and never trailed the Providence Friars en route to a 9-6 conference victory at Friar Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex on Saturday afternoon.
St. John's (4-6, 2-1) won its third consecutive game and second straight in conference play, while Providence (3-7, 0-2) dropped its second contest in a row.
The Red Storm was led by the efforts of freshman Colin Keegan, who scored a hat trick in just his second career start. Keegan contributed three points in the Red Storm's opening string of four goals. Fellow freshman Kieran McArdle tallied four points on two goals and two assists. Sophomore Jeff Lowman was stout in goal, allowing a season-low six goals and making 14 saves.
After a defensive struggle for the majority of the first quarter with both teams defenses wreaking havoc with challenged shots, senior Ryan Herits broke the deadlock with a dodge on the right side, scoring his sixth goal of the season at the 2:46 mark.
Just two minutes later, freshman Keith Switzer reset the Red Storm offense at the top of the box and passed to classmate Keegan who hit the net for his first goal of the game.
Keegan continued his scoring in the second quarter, hitting a cutting McArdle who scored at the 8:46 mark. Just over a minute later, McArdle reversed it by passing to Keegan over the defense and the freshman put in the shot from the edge of the crease.
The Friars responded with a three-goal run to end the half, with the team's first goal coming at 6:32 off the stick of Steve Lydon.Providence ended the half with a nifty goal from Sean Wright who received a pass from a double-teamed Andrew Barton with just five seconds left before intermission.
The Red Storm defense weathered the Providence attack in the third quarter, killing off a two-person Friar advantage after back-to-back penalties at the 12:13 mark. Lowman made a number of saves from close quarters, notching a total of five stops in the period.
St. John's capitalized on a man-up chance of its own at the 10:33 mark when McArdle dished a no-look pass to a cutting Switzer to extend the lead to 5-3.
After a Providence goal at the 3:58 mark, St. John's responded when sophomore Jarrett Carr spun and fired home his first goal of the season to make it 6-4. Just 30 seconds later, St. John's turned a failed Friar clear into an unsettled situation and Dillon Ayers hit Keegan on the run to set up the freshman for his third goal of the game.
Providence ended the quarter with yet another last-second goal, hitting the net off a dodge with just three seconds left on the clock.
A tense fourth quarter went back and forth with each team missing scoring opportunities until freshman Ryan Fitzgerald gave the Red Storm a little breathing room at the 5:11 mark. Running off a pick and roll at the top of the box, Fitzgerald found space and scored his seventh goal of the season to extend the lead to 8-5.
The Friars cut it to 8-6 at the 2:47 mark, but a McArdle empty netter ended the Friars hopes and created the final margin of 9-6.
The Red Storm defense caused turnovers on five of 20 clears as defensive midfielder Matt Hurst and Brandon Ayers each picked up four ground balls. Senior defenseman Mike Sherry also collected four ground balls. Sophomore Jordan Rothman won 7-11 face-offs in the second half to keep the Red Storm with possession late in the game.
St. John's will continue the conference road trip next weekend with a primetime game at No. 2 Notre Dame on Saturday, April 16 at 7 p.m.

By Nik Brumsack
Damian Martinez has paid tribute to Arsenal goalkeeping coach Gerry Peyton for helping him to settle in England.
The 20-year-old, who has already earned a call-up to the Argentine national team, was signed from Independiente in August 2010.
Martinez made his Arsenal debut against Coventry in the Capital One Cup last month, and says any nerves he may have had before the game were eased by Peyton.
"Gerry said, 'Emi, we are totally confident in you. I know you are going to do well so make sure you're relaxed and everything will be fine'. He made me 100 per cent confident," Martinez told Arsenal Player.
"When I first came, I started learning English with him. I think he's a great goalkeeping coach. He's helped me so much.
"When I came, the pitches were so wet - it's the opposite in Argentina where the pitches are always dry.
"He helped me a lot. He told me to relax and said I'd be fine in a couple of months. I got it and I'm improving every single day with him."

AMES, Iowa – Gardeners, both novice and experienced, will be inspired to preserve their garden bounty with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach's 2013 garden calendar. The full-color, 12-month calendar is filled with stunning photography and information.
"The calendar this year is all about home-grown food from the garden," said Cynthia Haynes, ISU Extension and Outreach horticulture specialist.
Each month has several gardening activities and chores listed, so homeowners can easily stay on task as they plan, prepare for, plant and take care of their 2013 garden.
"Some gardeners also use the calendar as a journal to keep notes from their garden," Haynes said. "We hope the calendar provides new gardeners with information that helps them improve their gardening practices, while helping experienced gardeners find new and different things to try."
The back of the calendar provides gardeners with several tips on preserving their garden bounty and plenty of other Extension and Outreach resources.
"Many people buy calendars because they are very pretty to look at," Haynes said. "This calendar is very visually appealing, and it also provides helpful hints and tips that gardeners can sometimes forget. This calendar is a great resource."

Hello, have an SBEII.... which has had an awful lot of shells run through it...all 3.5" have had zero trouble with this gun when it has been clean... and very few issues even when it was filthy!
now all of the sudden when I fire the first shell, the second shell isn't released from the mag tube! I thoroughly cleaned the action and lightly oiled, and had the same issue. upon close examination it seems the chrome plated Cartridge Drop Lever(CDL) is hanging up with side pressure against the carrier latch. I don't think the carrier latch is bent( to cause MORE friction than normal) it seems fine. the CDL usually is given a boost when the hammer spring cap hits it, forcing it around its pin and thus down on the front where it sits against the side of the carrier latch...once that CDL falls below the carrier latch the carrier latch shoots inward in the back and releases a shell from the magazine. what I THINK is happening is the friction of the CDL and the carrier latch are greater than the force of the hammer spring....ie the hammer spring maybe weak!!! the hammer spring cap hits that little bent portion of the CDL.
I guess I could take out the carrier latch and try to polish that surface that rubs against the CDL. but I really think it is a weak spring after many thousands of rounds...
so the question is, has anyone else got themselves into this situation??
I may just disassemble the gun totally again and STRETCH the hammer spring, as a test....

Today, after two of its largest partners have already announced their systems portfolios that will use it, Intel finally announced one of the worst-kept secrets in the industry: the Xeon E5-2600 family of processors.
OK, now that I've got in my jab at the absurdity of the announcement scheduling, let's look at the thing itself. In a nutshell, these new processors, based on the previous-generation 32 nm production process of the Xeon 5600 series but incorporating the new "Sandy Bridge" architecture, are, in fact, a big deal. They incorporate several architectural innovations and will bring major improvements in power efficiency and performance to servers. Highlights include:

Missy Higgins
After signing with Eleven, the same Australian record company used by such homeland heroes as Silverchair, Higgins issued a self-titled EP in November 2003. The Scar EP appeared in August 2004 and set the scene for her full-length debut, Sound of White, which appeared the following September. Sound of White proved to be remarkably successful, remaining on the Australian charts for two years and going platinum nine times. Higgins then set her sights on America, where she made her debut in January 2005 with the domestic-only All for Believing EP. Released through Warner Bros., it included the title track and four other songs cherry-picked from the Sound of White LP (which was reissued in the U.S. shortly thereafter).
Missy Higgins issued her sophomore album, On a Clear Night, in 2007, with an American release following in early 2008. While Sound of White had emphasized Higgins' flair for piano, On a Clear Night featured a new emphasis on guitar, which Higgins had used to compose the majority of the tracks. "Steer," the album's leadoff single, became her second number one hit in Australia.
After finishing up with touring and promoting the album, Higgins took some time off from music. In 2010, she enrolled in college at the University of Melbourne and acted in the Australian film Bran Nue Dae. She never strayed far from music, though, and after meeting fellow singer/songwriter Butterfly Boucher while playing Lilith Fair shows in the summer of 2010, went to Nashville to record her next album with Boucher's help. The Ol' Razzle Dazzle was released in June 2012, promptly debuting at the top of the Australian charts (her third straight album to reach number one). Higgins' next work was an album of Aussie cover versions, titled OZ, that also became the name of an accompanying book as well as a tour. It appeared in September of 2014. ~ Andrew Leahey & Johnny Loftus

Wanted to post this up here because i consider TDH part of my extended family
As some of you may know if you follow me on facebook, i am on a quest to get down to a reasonable weight and look better in my Fett. I have gotten many compliments over the last couple of years on my gear and how i look in my suit and it is greatly flattering, and appreciated, however i know i could stand to lose a few pounds, and look even better. Last sept i was at 227lbs at 5'8". At that point i haven't trooped Fett in almost a year. I ususally averaged around 220, which is still overweight for my height, once i started gaining again and was up to 227, i realized i needed to do something not only so i can use my Fett, but for my health.
A diet ive done in the past with much success was Atkins. For those that dont know, its basically a low-carb diet. It goes a little more into depth than that, but thats the basic jist. I lost 17lbs on that in about 2 months and was down to 210. However the holidays hit and i gained back about 4...which isnt too bad considering lol.
So now at 214, Atkins was starting to get to me and causing some stomach issues (which never happened in the past...my older age perhaps) so i decided to start using this website/app called "my fitness pal". It basically is a calorie counting site/app, but set up for you and your goals. You enter your height and weight, your goal weight, and how much you want to loose per week (max 2lbs). It has been working fantastic. I started at 214 10 days ago (Jan 8th 2014) and am now down to 207(Jan 18th 2014). I feel great and am eating almost anything i want (within reason of course). I just try and follow the numbers they give me for things like calories, fat, carbs, protien, sugar, sodium etc and its been working out great. Ive had a few cookies over a 3 day span and even a 711 burrito one day for dinner, and have been able to continue to lose. My goal is somewhere between 150 and 160 depending on how i look. I will continue to update this thread as i go.
Id recommend this site/app to anyone who wants to lose some weight and needs something to kind of guide them. Thanks for reading and good luck to anyone in the same boat..post your stories as well...we all want to look our best as Fett and also improve our health at the same time!

MAAC Champions!!!
College Outdoor Track and Field
Rider Men and Women MAAC Champions
Baptiste wins Most Outstanding Track Performer
Hamer voted Men's and Women's MAAC Coach of the Year
LAWRENCEVILLE--The Rider University men's and women's track and field teams both won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference outdoor track and field championships on Sunday.
It's the first time that both the Rider men's and women's teams have won the conference championship in the same season.
"My goal when I took over the program five years ago was to win both titles in the same season," said head coach Bob Hamer, who was voted both men's and women's MAAC Coach of the Year. "To have everybody happy is a great thing. It's always a little rough when you win on one side and have half a team happy. On the men's side we were on point in every event, which was fantastic. The women were in a battle with Saint Peter's. We were in a battle with them in every event."
"The reality of the situation is that the team wouldn't be as successful as it is without my staff and all the work they put in, and great coaches are made by great athletes and we have a great group that makes us look great," Hamer said
The Rider men finished with 242 points, knocking off defending champs Manhattan (185 points) by 57 points and the women recorded 252.5 points topping Saint Peter's (226.50) by 26 points.
For the Rider men, junior Wilvenson Baptiste (Irvington) was named Most Outstanding Track Performer. Baptiste won MAAC gold in both the 100-meter dash (10.98) and the 200-meter dash (21.66) and helped lead the 4x100-meter relay team to a first place finish and the 4x400-meter relay to MAAC silver.
"It was a good meet from start to finish. I think everybody on the team gave a solid effort. It was good to see a win on both sides. I try to lead by example by doing the right things at practice," Baptiste said.
The men's 4x100-meter relay team of senior James Burroughs (West Orange), sophomore Anthony DeFranco (Berkeley Heights/Governor Livingston), Baptiste and senior David Hightower (Easton, Pa./Easton) won in 42.08 and the 4x400-meter relay team of Baptiste, senior Greg Wesh (Hatboro, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham), Burroughs and junior Joseph Carlin (Staten Island, N.Y./Staten Island Tech.) finished second with a time of 3:17.40.
Hightower won MAAC gold in the 110-meter hurdles (14.24) in an IC4A qualifying time, setting a new championship meet record. Hightower also finished fourth in the 200-meter dash (22.48). Burroughs won the 400-meter hurdles (53.78) and finished second in the 110-meter hurdles (14.79) in an IC4A qualifying time.
For the Rider women, freshman La'tazah Coleman (Middletown, Del/Appoquinimink) won the 100-meter dash (12.12) and the 200-meter dash (24.74), finished second in the high jump (1.61m) and was seventh in the 100-meter hurdles (14.77). Freshman Dashana Ransome (Irvington) won the 100-meter hurdles (14.09) in a championship meet, Rider record and ECAC qualifying time, junior Lauryn Strebeck won the triple jump (11.58m) and sophomore Taylor Harmon (Robbinsville) won the high jump (1.61m),
Also for the Bronc men, Wesh was second in the 800-meter run (1:51.49), junior Steven Brown (Penns Grove) was second in the triple jump (14.54), junior Matthew Millemann was second in the 400-meter hurdles (54.14) and third in the 110-meter hurdles (15.13), senior Dave Brown (Ewing) was third in both the 400-meter dash (49.51) and 400-meter hurdles (54.85), senior Perry Asare (Lindenwold) was third in the triple jump (14.39), freshman Darnell Charles (Mays Landing/Oakacrest) was third in the 200-meter dash (22.28), tied for third in the 100-meter dash (11.20) and fourth in the triple jump (14.36), freshman Charles Wilks (Secane, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) was third in the discus throw (47.11m) and sixth in the shot put (13.70m) and DeFranco was third in the pole vault (4.50m) and fifth in the 100-meter dash (11.32).
Sophomore George Solujich (East Windsor/Notre Dame) was third in the shot put (15.45m) and fifth in the discus throw (45.59m), freshman Darien Edwards was fourth in both the 400-meter dash (49.81) and 400-meter hurdles (55.37), sophomore Nasser Zayer (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Peter's) was fourth in the 1500-meter run and Carlin was fourth in the 800-meter run (1:53.87).
Also for the Bronc women, senior Erin McMullin (Philadelphia, Pa/Nazareth Academy) was second in the 400-meter dash (57.53) and sixth in the 200-meter dash (25.70), sophomore Sydney Grimes (West Orange) was second in the shot put (12.43m) and sixth in the discus throw (34.87m), freshman Madeline Hummel (Marlton/Holy Cross) was second in the 400-meter hurdles (1:02.24) and fifth in the 400-meter dash (58.18), freshman Alicia Carthan (Bordentown) was second in the discus throw (36.91m) and fifth in the shot put (11.81m), freshman Nicole Georgia (Lincoln Park/Boonton) was third in the 400-meter hurdles (1:02.84) and eighth in the 100-meter hurdles (14.88), sophomore Emily Ritter (Millsboro, Del./Sussex Tech) was third in the 1500-meter run (4:33.78) and seventh in the 800-meter run (2:17.83) and freshman Miranda Roberts (Sewell/Washington Twp) was third in the pole vault (3.12m) and seventh in the 100-meter dash (12.61).
Sophomore Ashley Edwards (Westfield) was fourth in the 400-meter dash (57.99), junior Rhea Phipps (Basking Ridge/Ridge) was fourth in the discus throw (35.23m), senior Megan Elgin (Doylestown, Pa/Central Bucks East) was fourth in the 5000-meter run (17:49.49), senior Mia Riley (West Caldwell/James Caldwell) was fourth in the 100-meter dash (12.40), fourth in the shot put (11.90m) and fifth in the 200-meter dash (25.51) and freshman Daria Chadwick (Summit) was fourth in the high jump (1.61m), fifth in the 100-meter hurdles (14.60) and sixth in the 400-meter hurdles (1:04.96),
"I think it was a very collaborative effort. Everyone worked hard and we did what we needed to do," Riley said, "It means the world to us to win this. We've trained so hard, and we had a lot of young people step up and give a great effort."
Other men's results include: freshman Sam Knipper (Randolph) was fifth in the 1500-meter run (4:00.16), junior Quintin Robin (Jamison, Pa/Central Bucks East) was sixth in the high jump (1.84m), and junior George Osti (Union) was sixth in the discus throw (42.75).
Other women's results include: freshman Olivia Rosenberger (North Wales, Pa/Gwynedd Mercy Academy) was seventh in the triple jump (11.12m), freshman Andrea McKenna (Parlin/St. John Vianney) was seventh in the shot put (11.38m) and senior Krista Musinski (West Pittston, Pa/Wyoming Area Secondary) was eighth in the triple jump (10.61)
"We have a nice group of seniors that brought the team together and talk with the freshmen about the learning experience. I believe you have to learn to win, and they showed me they've learned. The 4x100 set the tone, they went out and won on both sides and we just went out from there. That's how you win championships; you have to roll with the punches of the meet. We pride ourselves on being a complete team. We were there in every event," Hamer said.
The women's 4x100-meter relay team of Ransome, Riley, Roberts and Coleman won in 47.76 and the 4x400-meter relay team of Hummel, Coleman, McMullin and Georgia finished second (3:51.04).
This is the men's second MAAC Championship in three years and eighth conference title overall. The Bronc men won their last MAAC team title in 2011, are four time East Coast Conference (ECC) champs (1986,1989, 1991, 1992) and are two time Northeast Conference (NEC) champs (1994, 1995).
This is the third overall MAAC championship for the Rider women, which won outdoor team titles in 2004 and 2007.
Qualifiers from the Bronc men and women will travel up the road to Princeton University to compete at the 137th IC4A/30th ECAC Championships May 10-12.
Women's Final Team Standings: 1. Rider 252.5; 2. Saint Peter's 226.50; 3. Manhattan 117; 4. Iona 104; 5. Loyola (Md) 74; 6. Marist 33

Daily anti-joke: kskristy style
I set the oven mitt on fire again today.
You'd've thought I'd learned my lesson after the great muffin disaster… yeah, not so much.
Somebody send me back to kindergarten, or cooking 101, or wherever it is that they teach you how to not set kitchen accessories on fire.
The structural integrity of my house depends on it.
But do y'all know what's better than setting an oven mitt on fire?
A beautiful sunset picture.
And that was your daily anti-joke: kskristy style.
For those of you who are completely confounded and confused, perplexed and puzzled, let me explain. An anti-joke is is a type of comedy in which the listener is set up to expect a typical joke, but the joke ends with such anticlimax that it becomes funny in its own right. The lack of punchline is the punchline.
I'm sorry. I really think anti-jokes are corny. But certain friends of mine have had a negative influence on me and fill my life with anti-jokes on a regular basis.
If you're reading this, you know who you are.
And y'all better enjoy this one moment of glory because I will never tell an anti-joke again.
Instead, I'm going to work on finding a 12-step program that helps people who suffer from destructive behaviors like repetitively igniting oven mitts.
Wish me luck.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 43
I keep some and I pass others along. I tend to hoard books, movies, and other media, but I also like to share things. I guess I'm more likely to share the ones I get for free.
I like the idea of donating to a zine library. Is there a handy list of zine libraries online?

Here's the progress so far...there's still a lot more work.;)
I had a feeling you wouldn't stop with the helmet. Git-er-done for wondercon.
wow, that looks great.
Thanks guys for the interest. Little more progress on the shoulder and pistol...
Nice job on the cod! can't wait to see the finished product.
Cant wait to see the outcome you do amazing work
looks really good dude , keep it coming
I second that! It looks great so far man... but then again ur work always does cruz
Thanks guys. Ok, the pistol is done. I wanted to finish it first because I needed it to figure out the thigh armor and holsters. I'm only making the one and will mold it later for solid resin casts. I took the liberty of adding a trigger because it just didn't look right without one. With the aluminum barrel tip it's about 9.5" long, which works well with the size of the BKBT thighs. :thumbsup
huge WOOOOOOOW for Lorenzo!:thumbsup:thumbsup
I knew it was only time until I saw that you were making a CW set Zoe ;)
Thanks guys. I realized I missed a sight detail on the top after looking at the Insider ref. pics. So I'll go back and fix that this weekend. I'm hoping they're acceptible since the feedback has been nill other than two close friends.;)
I have not responded be cause I hate/want your talent. I'm making the same costume but your so fast. I look forward to seeing more.
I'm going to wait until the "INTEREST" thread after the molds are made before I respond. ^__-
Cruz it looks great man... I'm looking forward to seeing this finished... Let me know how you're going to rig up the holsters tho because I'm going to be using built in holsters for mine
I do spend a little too much time in the garage and on props. I'm going to try and start making the mold this weekend. This pistol should be pretty easy to mold and cast once the mold is finished, so I hope to make inexpensive resin casts available.
I've given the holsters some thought, and the only thing I can think of that would work is a hidden support belt and straps under the flightsuit to hold the weight of the thigh armor, holsters, and blasters. I can't see any other way to hold all of that weight in place.
I'll also be experimenting with making a mold that allows the holster and thigh armor to be one piece. The holster will have to glued in place after if this idea doesn't work out. I'll be sure to post build pics.
Lately I've been working on the shin armor, so I'll post pics up this weekend when I get a chance.
I might be intrested in a set of pistols pending price. Keep up the hard work.
This project is fantastic, any plans for the Darksaber? the founder of this thread has a good blueprint ready to go!
Thanks for the link. I'm going to leave the darksaber to someone else since the armor alone has been enough work.
I've placed the shins on hold to mold the pistol before it became "beat up" by handling it too much. I added the sight detailing and taper on the trigger guard and sealed the pistol with a coat of paint over the weekend. I also made the mold box and as of right now silicone is curing over one side of the pistol. Today after work I'll start the silicone for the second side. I hope to be able to make the first casts of the pistol this weekend. :thumbsup
Hard to describe, but something where you would wear something... underarmor / tshirt / whatever under your flight suit.
Put the harness on with straps that come out of holes in the shoulders of the flight suit (same as the vest), and straps that come down off of the harness to the legs for the thigh armor. That would distribute the weight, make sure they all work together correctly, and should be relatively easy to wear.
The leg armor would still be secured to the suit, but would get the added boost from the harness.
Nothing like the sweet smell of silicone in the morning.
Looks great!!! I must say that is a rather big mold, oh and don't forget the pour holes.
I wish I could affort silicone mold making material:(:cry.
Ok, first pull is done and I was able to see where the air bubbles gather. It's a little heaver than I had hoped, so I will experiment with some Feather Lite resin for the next cast. This weekend I'll try to find some time to begin the hoslters, as well as finish up the shins. :thumbsup

Film-making. A huge hobby of mine. I've been doing it for years now. Lots of short films, action flicks, those type of things. I recently entered a film in a small festival. I really love doing it, and have a great group of friends who are ready and willing to act. Our next project for this fall is The Resistance Chronicles. Currently we are in pre-production. Script writing, character designing, prop gathering, all those fun things. A dream of ours is to get this film to theatres. Key word, dream. But in the end, it's just a ton of fun and we have a blast. So I will try to give updates on videos, web stuff, photos, and info on us, our past films, and the ones to come. Also, if anyone has any items they would like to donate to the the film cause, that would be awesome. I'd also buy stuff of yours if you don't need/want it anymore. You can pm me about anything.
We need tactical gear. SWAT related stuff. Vests, BDUs, pouches, boots, helmets, pads, belts, holsters, airsoft, anything you have, broken, scraps, etc. Some scrap leather would be awesome. Here are a few photos from Collection, which we just finished. Youtube channel will go up soon. ;-) bro{FILMZ} Productions
I would love to be supported by you guys, members of the greatest forum on the planet. Man, having TDH as a sponsor would be cool....

I finally brought up the mannequin up from the basement and dressed him up.
He is a little bit on the skinny side, so the beltd and the chest armor is looking a littel "loose" I will stuff him up a little bit later. I also need to do something about the hands. Because of their pose, I can´t pull the gloves over the thumbs. Either I try to find another, more neutral set, or I will make some on my own. Maybe some that are moveable, so they cant hold the blaster.
Things missing :
Cod and Butt Armor
Back Armor
Jet Pack
LED Unit for Chest Armor
I am pretty happy with it :grin: :grin:

Lease Non-Renewal
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
Except in some cases, a landlord can nonrenew a lease for almost any reason and, if the landlord has given proper notice of nonrenewal pursuant to the lease, a court will likely uphold that decision. In fact, the landlord is not usually obligated to give a reason for nonrenewal of a lease. There are some exceptions to this, however. For example, a landlord cannot nonrenew a lease in retaliation for a tenant requesting repairs, and a landlord's cannot nonrenew a lease based on a tenant's race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability. Also, tenants in government-owned or government-subsidized housing, including public housing and low-income tax credit properties, have additional protection concerning a lease renewal. Many government programs require the landlord to have a good cause (for example, a serious violation of the lease) if the landlord wishes to nonrenew or terminate the lease.

Borage OilSkip to the navigation
Borage oil is derived from the seeds of the borage (Borago officinalis) plant, a large plant with blue, star-shaped flowers found throughout Europe and North Africa and naturalized to North America.1
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
|Used for
3 Stars
Rheumatoid Arthritis
1.1 to 2.8 grams of GLA daily
Oils containing the omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid, such as borage oil, have been reported to be effective in treating people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Oils containing the omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA)—borage oil,2 , 3 , 4 black currant seed oil,5 and evening primrose oil (EPO)6 , 7—have been reported to be effective in the treatment for people with RA. Although the best effects have been reported with use of borage oil, that may be because more GLA was used in borage oil trials (1.1–2.8 grams per day) compared with trials using black currant seed oil or EPO. The results with EPO have been mixed and confusing, possibly because the placebo used in those trials (olive oil) may have anti-inflammatory activity. In a double-blind trial, positive results were seen when EPO was used in combination with fish oil.8 GLA appears to be effective because it is converted in part to prostaglandin E1, a hormone-like substance known to have anti-inflammatory activity.
2 Stars
5 grams (providing 890 mg of gamma-linolenic acid) per day
In one study, supplementing with borage oil helped reduce the amount of weight regained by obese people who had previously shed pounds.
In a double-blind study of obese people who had previously lost an average of about 66 pounds, supplementation with 5 grams of borage oil per day (providing 890 mg per day of gamma-linolenic acid) significantly reduced the average amount of weight regained over the next 12 months (4.8 pounds versus 19.3 pounds in the placebo group).9 It is believed that borage oil worked by correcting certain abnormalities of essential fatty acid metabolism that are common in people predisposed to obesity.
1 Star
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Refer to label instructions
Topically applied borage oil may improve cradle cap symptoms.
A group of researchers found that infants with cradle cap appeared to have an imbalance of essential fatty acids in their blood that returned to normal when their skin rashes eventually went away.10 In a preliminary trial, these researchers later found that application of 0.5 ml of borage oil twice daily to the affected skin resulted in clinical improvement of cradle cap within two weeks.11
How It Works
How to Use It
For the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis , the amounts of GLA from borage used in successful double-blind trials were 1.4–2.8 grams daily for at least two months.12 , 13 Although 360 mg of GLA daily from borage oil has been used to treat people with eczema , controlled research has not supported its use for this condition.14 Topically, 0.5 ml of borage oil may be applied to areas of seborrhea daily for two weeks, and then three times a week until the condition is stable.15
Where to Find It
Borage oil is found primarily in supplements. Its presumed active ingredient, GLA, can also be found in black currant seed oil and evening primrose oil supplements. However, it is not known whether the effects of these three oils in the body, are the same.
Possible Deficiencies
Many people in Western societies may be at least partially GLA-deficient as a result of aging, glucose intolerance, dietary fat intake, and other problems, though the exact incidence of deficiency remains unknown. People with deficiencies benefit from supplemental GLA intake from borage oil, black currant seed oil, or evening primrose oil .
Those with premenstrual syndrome ,16 diabetes ,17 scleroderma,18 Sjogren's syndrome,19 tardive dyskinesia ,20 eczema ,21 and other skin conditions22 may have a metabolic block that interferes with the body's ability to make GLA. However, most clinical trials supplementing GLA for these conditions has used evening primrose oil, and not borage oil.
Interactions with Supplements, Foods, & Other Compounds
Interactions with Medicines
Side Effects
Side Effects
Borageseeds contain small amounts of liver toxins called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA). However, testing has not demonstrated the presence of the alkaloid in the seed oil.23 Most commercially available borage seed oil is, therefore, likely to be PA-free and presents no risk of PA toxicity. Minor side effects from borage oil use can include bloating, nausea, indigestion , and headache.24
