I'm a student teacher ESL. For my paper I'm working on a language camp.
But to organise this camp properly, I want to select my pupils and put them together in coherent groups according to level of English.
I searched the Internet for some of those tests, and I found some, but I didn't really find an explanation on how those tests work.
Can anyone give me a link or some explanation on how to make one of those tests myself? How do I make a representative test to divide my groups?
Kind regards,

My 1st thought was, welcome to the right, but then I read your post.
Hey all! I'm new here and new to the pistol world considering a purchase. I was trained in small arms in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman in the days of the military issue 1911 (1994 Clinton Navy), and qualified Expert marksman then. Haven't picked up or purchased a pistol since, but I'm considering my options as a left handed shooter. I was actually trained in the "cup" style grip and never realized why the control felt awkward when I was in the service until I went window shopping today. After being instructed on the higher fulcrum grip being taught now (and made to feel somewhat dumb), I've noticed that the two weapons I feel most comfortable with, the Sig P226 and the Springfield XD 9mm, both have complete left side controls. While I'm not concerned about this for a "heat of battle" conflict, considering that I don't plan on reloading a clip after expending 15 rounds into body mass, I know it will be annoying for range fire. Is there any way to adjust the way I utilize the controls so as to use my shooting hand to drop the clip or release the slide lock without it being cumbersome? I'm not so much concerned about case ejection or rifle twist, and the dealer wasn't very helpful (he was more concerned about pointing me toward ambi guns like the FNH), I'd just think there have been people in my situation who have adapted and can give me some pointers. Thanks.
My 1st thought was, welcome to the right, but then I read your post.
Sorry, guardrail! I'm just trying to get pointers on control adjustment. I LOVE a Sig grip, and I don't want to change guns over clip drop.
Of course, if there are gunCONTROL nuts, I'd love to entertain the argument!
Check out the Smith & Wesson M&P. All controls are ambidextrous.
I am also a left handed shooter. Heckler and Koch P series pistols (P2000, P30) are fully ambidextrious. Both are great handguns, I own the HK P2000 in 9mm V3 (sa/da) and love it.
Beretta 92 or 96........left or right safety, decock.........mag release can be changed to right or left....I shoot right handed and like the mag release on the right.
For this left there is nothing better than a Ruger sr9/c.

Vindication is a wonderful thing. After having a roost shot up on opening day I went after them solo this morning on some private property. I have been working on my calling all summer while driving and listening to my Bad Grammar cd. I guess it payed off. Called in my first flock of the year, right in to the decoys and dropped 4 birds out of the 5 that came in. Apparently luck was on my side as I shot three as the other two finished landing and just sat there. I jumped them up and shot one, walked over and saw something shiny.
My first band, banded in 2007 right here in Vermont.
It was an odd mix of birds, one bird tipped the scales at 11lbs and the other 3 (including the band) were all under 7. I guess a combo of lessers and greaters?


text: Haven't seen anything on this yet. Anyone get one? I did download the OS6 to my iPhone4s, which is free! Easy as pie. Didn't lose my apps either. My husband did his on his phone, I did mine through my iMac. Only difference the phone download took 20 minutes. The computer download took 10 minutes. The phone is faster. Siri seems to understand me better. And, best of all, the map now has vocal navigation. Definitely worth the 10 - 20 minutes to update!

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- The Political Wilderness (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-wilderness/)
- - Which is more important right now- a balanced budget, or low unemployment? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-wilderness/40252-more-important-right-now-balanced-budget.html)
Which is more important right now- a balanced budget, or low unemployment?
And is it really possible to achieve both at the same time considering our current situation? Everyone in DC seems to think that it's not only possible, but absolutely necessary as if one cannot be done without the other.
I'm certainly no economist, but it seems to me that doing a lot of the things that are being proposed to balance the budget are going to make the economic situation worse, not better. Cutting something like defense spending and bringing a large quantity of overseas troops and contractors home would save some big money and sounds good to many including myself, but what will those people do once they get back? Cutting government spending usually means cutting government jobs, money taken out of the economy (even if that money is all borrowed), and more people filing for unemployment. How is private enterprise supposed to absorb those workers when there aren't enough jobs for the people who are already looking for them? More tax cuts and free trade agreements?
These problems have been brewing for decades but people insanely expect the solutions and results to come NOW. And when the results don't come overnight all anybody wants to do is point fingers and excuse themselves from any responsibility to try to make themselves feel better or look re-electable. I fear that the instant gratification that comes with blaming all your problems on the people you disagree with, through any means necessary, has put us in a position where if a good middle of the road solution to our problems were to be proposed, it wouldn't be politically viable as at some point everyone would probably have to admit that the other guy actually had a good idea.
I fear that a crisis is no longer a problem to be solved, but a tool with which to leverage an agenda. Am I being pessimistic?
The ONLY reason we can't solve this problem quickly is because of party bickering. These people are holding America hostage while they fight for what THEY want.
Cutting spending, removing the tax cuts for the wealthy, and eliminating wasteful government programs is profoundly easy. But it gets hard when the government gets in its own way. The American people deserve better.

We are seeing the ultimate manifestation of bullshit partisan politics. Politicians are only concerned with getting elected and I don't believe they can see clearly beyond that. Even if some republicans know the right thing to do, they got elected on no raising taxes platform and if they go against it, they will be called out in the next election and most likely lose. I believe we should elect people who are smarter than us and trust them to make the right decisions. Unfortunately, this country elects people they "want to have a beer with" or who tell stupid jokes about hockey moms.
cut spending, increase taxes on the WEALTHY (not this $250k crap, move to NYC and tell me that is wealthy) and most importantly revamp the corporate tax structure so that a) the overall tax rate is not one of the highest in the world and b)to remove loopholes that have companies paying very little taxes. Hopefully this leads to increased corporate tax collections and the lower rate encourages more companies to grow within the US.
There are plenty of jobs to be had for those who are currently unemployed and those who would be cut from military expansionism. Remember during the 50's era when everyone had a dependable job with benefits and the rich were taxed accordingly, therefor regulating the national wealth ratio? We are still manufacturing consumer products for a consumer base so the demand has not decreased.
What happened was corporations outsourced all those millions of jobs to first Mexico, Taiwan, Singapore, and then China - So that they could greatly increase their profit margins. 95% of the shit you buy from a big-box store should have been made by an American but wasn't, and therefor the person that should have made it is now unemployed.
People like to tote "Post-Industrial Restructuring" as an excuse, which says basically jobs in post-industrial societies all switch to information technology, engineering, marketing, service, etc... while manufacturing takes place almost solely in industrial or pre-industrial societies. In a globalized economy is this possible? Yes, but is it a good idea?
No, because it makes entire countries into a niche product. So long as Country A and Country B and Country C provide each other's role, things move relatively smoothly. But when Country B stops, Country A and Country C lose vital cogs in their machines, ones they cannot replicate domestically because they have outsourced entire industries to Country B to penny-pinch.
The fact of the matter is that the money saved by outsourcing has gone no where else but the corporations pockets, and has in turn grossly imbalanced the national wealth ratio and caused a lot of what we are now experiencing. It is why over the past 20 years the top 5% make something like [400] times the salary of someone in the middle-class.
If you ask me, we need a strong government that is going to stand up to Corporate America and make them bring their jobs back to the States. No one should be making such grossly imbalanced amounts of money, and in order for things to get better the money is going to have to be redistributed and the super-wealthy are going to have to live with lower profits as a result of domestic stability.
kill the rich and eat their children.
I've heard it argued that government debt is directly hurting the private job market, but nobody who has made the argument has ever bothered to explain why or how. Can anyone connect the dots on how all these born again budget hawks are supporting that claim?
This is one example of a classical economists response to recovering from a recession. By cutting government spending, they assume that the money the government would originally have borrowed will be loaned to the private sector, instead of to the government, where there will be a greater profit made from the same money based on the assumption that the private sector is more efficient than the public sector. It's a similiar tactic to what George Osborne plans to implement in the UK's economy.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by overedge, Mar 18, 2013.
I must admit, I was kind of when I saw that front page this morning.
I would have never even thought of that as a 'crotch shot' until I read this. I would have just seen it as an action shot, and one where she doesn't look that bad. Certainly better than all the horrific jump faces they publish.
The editor could have selected a better photo, but this one isn't really that big of a deal. She commented once that she liked the photo, and once that it was neither a bad photo nor a good photo, so since she isn't upset, this is much ado about nothing.
Here is my response to that article.
Not shy, is she?
I think it's unflattering because her hair is in her face. She's just doing a high kick. Nothing offensive there.
Fabian's face I sure don't understand how people don't think he has expression. He nailed it there.
They should've put a small Canadian flag on that pic over her crotch. Everyone would've been happy
That link didn't work for me but I did eventually track down the story (no, not by Googling "Kaetlyn Osmond crotch shot"; I searched for her name + "front page" ). We've seen stuff like that plenty of times before, even with younger skaters - I really don't think it's such a big deal. Have the people complaining never seen skating on TV (or live)?
Ita on this. You see people wearing dental floss in beach photos---I think this is tame. I'm glad to see she is smiling and not pulling a weird face while spinning.
My goodness! Certainly they could have photoshopped a burlap sack over top of her, couldn't they? I need to go make some tea now to try to settle my nerves.
I don't really see much outrage, except from the pubic-- I mean public-- editor. I think it's a nice picture and I see that Kaetlyn herself agrees and is fine with it.
It's not the most flattering picture but it's probably better than a jump face picture. I doubt she's bothered.
ETA: Katelyn's response sums it up nicely
What did she skate to?
I will say that coming from a skater's perspective it's no big deal since you do things like this all the time. If you're on FSU, you know that these things are very run of the mill. But coming from a layman who doesn't watch skating, it might prompt a different response since they aren't used to seeing stuff like that. It's like pairs lifts. For someone who never watches skating, they sometimes look a bit personal but people who watch skating regularly don't even think of those things.
Candyman by Aguilera IIRC
While it isn't wholly flattering shot, it is an action shot. I am sure tbere are akot of unfkatteri.g oictures of all skaters that they themselves that thecringe at or considered "crotch shots"that was action shots.
Hey, it's even more publicity for Kaetlyn!
I think that the outfit looks like cheap latex makes it worse - I don't think it would have been a big deal if it had been a different fabric? I agree it looks like an action shot, the editors probably chose it since it was nice and dynamic, but she has a great expression since she is not doing anything like jumping or spinning.
well, at least it isn't lacy undies ...
The only reason that picture was chosen for the article was to get attention.....it has clearly worked
Well, if Kaetlyn doesn't mind, why should anyone? It's her crotch.
Y'know, personally I'm more offended at the painted/dressed up three and four year old they parade all over TV. This? Not offensive. At least it wasn't a jump/spin face, that newspaper editors seem to love for whatever reason.
I guess gynecologists will have a new gal to cheer for, now that Sasha Cohen's retired.
Joyce Carol Oates will be so disappointed.
I like her expression the picture, too. She looks like she's having fun.
Looks like she might have needed a Brazillian. In printing a pic like that one has to give some consideration to the perverts who will get off on it.
I am fine that some pervy photographer found a way to get skating publicized.
The most ridiculous "scandal" I have heard of in a long time.
Crotch shots still have the power to cause quite a stir in the Anglo-Canadian world.
Women should skate with a book of 18th century poems held between their knees.

We guarantee that the pictured item is an original Breguet watch.
Abraham-Louis Breguet is indisputable one of the greatest watch manufacturers of all times. Many of his patents are still used today. The master craftsman opened his Paris studio in 1775. Respected at court, later by the imperial family Napoleons, he succeeded in doing a series of superb achievements, e.g. he invented the tourbillon and the gongs for repeating watches. His heirs carried the tradition forward. Watches that are subject to the Breguet watchmaking skill are produced to this day.
the recent model in the new collection Breguet Type XX in steel with automatic movement and leather bracelet has a MSRP of 8900,- Euros.
Please take the distinctive design of the watch into consideration.
We prefer bank transfers but also accept Paypal and cash on collection.
You will, of course, receive a VAT invoice for this purchase.
This item is taxed under § 25 A USTG (differential taxation).
Item and accessoires will be delivered as pictured. Manuals, papers, certificate cards, booklets and boxes are only included in the delivery if mentioned in the description and/or shown in the pictures. The pictures show the actual watch you are bidding on. All pictures were taken by Zeitauktion GmbH.

I'm not even going to get started on the fact that shelters are importing and shipping dogs by the dozen. My vet is extremely angry about the dogs coming up from down south, because they're bringing up things that our dogs are catching, things that were unheard of years ago.
If the government could mandate "compassion" and "responsibility" instead, then I'd agree with you. Why do so many people dump their pets? I know you couldn't do it and neither could I - although if we had no choice then we'd have to rehome them and I'd rather do that myself and I'd bet you would too.
If altering animals was mandatory and people came door to door here, the problem would decrease dramatically. They could probably employ lots of people to do this sort of thing. Sadly a dog can't choose to go to the store to get protection before it has sex. As far as dogs coming from other places, I find that the rescues do this more then anything. The shelters in Chicago are so over crowded with dogs from right here that there isn't room for them, much less dogs from other areas. Its not a state issue its a whole country issue. The dogs have no say and are just subjects in a vicious circle. Its a lack of compassion, lack of education, and lack of responsibility in the human race that is the issue.

|Parvo is very environmental, given the time frame the pup got sick I would say where it was born but not necessarily from mom. It's odd that mom isn't vaccinated and didn't get it herself, but then again she could have been vaccinated as a pup and that was enough. As for laws on spay/neuter..everyday regular people are not smart enough to prevent pregnancy or think is cute to have puppies. Lots of people think it takes away from their manhood, with that thinking I'm all for mandatory spats/neuters. If pet owners can be that stupid then maybe the government should step in. Lots of these shelters are partially funded by government and that gives them the power to do what they want. How else are they suppose to control the pet population? There are so many dogs in shelters everywhere dying everyday, it's sickening and it's all because of people who don't spay/ neuter. Based on the alarming numbers I would have to say there is more of those kinds of people out there then people that do right by their dogs. It's got to start and end somewhere.
|my boy diesel
who knows where the parvo was picked up
trying to utilize such a lemon law would be fooldhardy
at best
a waste of money at worst
the parvo could have come from birth place
or new home
the dirt impacted in the stomach and intestines
could have come from birth place
or new home either one
the dirt could have easily made
the parvo worse
either way he may have survived parvo
had it not been for the dirt
and that can't be proven where
it originated without some csi like detective
so pointless to pursue lemon law

Lol none of this has anything to do with helping the OP prevent more dogs being bred by these people.. Which I'm all for if there is already a law in place, otherwise I would definitely not be interested. People like that shouldn't be breeding though.

The way I look at it is this:
1. This person may still be a friend, or a friend of a friend and for friendship's sake, I would never try to force this issue.
2. We cannot for absolute certain say that the parvo originated at the breeders. We may believe so. We have heard (heresay) that other puppies were ill. But we cannot be certain that this is the case. So unless the vet is willing to go out on a limb here, it is shaky at best.
3. To earn back the possibility of UP TO $150, she will have to shell out $25 (if California small claims cost $25), and miss a day of work, if she is going to continue to work for the vet. Also transportation cost to the court and the time.
This was a very unfortunate situation. I think that prolonging it by litigation isn't going to help anybody. And the rewards are not going help the OP, and they are not going to hurt the breeder all that much even if the full amount is awarded.

Is it truly worth it? If she is a friend? Will she need a lawyer to go after her? Does she want to drag it out and go to small claims court for it? Take over work. What that will do is that will keep it constantly at the forefront of her mind. Sometimes, you just have to move on. $100 to $150 is not going to break or curb the breeder.

Re: pulled anchor and sailed away...
I will back in a slip or cove if I can. I use a trolling motor for such movement and love the quiet approach. I will raise the sails when I clear the cove and catch a breeze for the morning. I have been observing more deer, turkey and geese with the trolling motor as I just sneak up on them before they know I am there.
Re: pulled anchor and sailed away...
There is something VERY elegant about departing an anchorage that way, especially if you do it early in the morning to avoid waking your neighbors. But here in Maine it's sort of tough to pull off because the chain is usually filled with thick, greasy, clay/mud which is great for holding but time consuming to clean off before the chain goes below. So, I almost always have the engine running and am working diligently with my washdown hose for the first several minutes after the anchor breaks free, which precludes me from sailing, at least when I'm single handing.

Re: pulled anchor and sailed away...
When I purchased this boat, I thought she was a motorsailor for the most part. How wrong I was!
In the last year we've sailed about 2000 miles in the West Indies and I doubt we have put 10 hours on the engine, and most of that is idling when leaving a crowded anchorage under sail, just as a precaution.
Most of our anchorages are north to south bays with an easterly breeze, so we must beat up into the anchorage. As the wind is generally 18 to 25 knots, we can be screaming into a bay at 7 to 9+ knots and that's just a tad fast for me. We'll douse the main about a half mile from the place we want to anchor (longer if we can't make it on one tack, obviously), slowing the boat to a more reasonable 5 to 7 knots. If the wind is especially strong, like Christmas winds, we'll still be footing it along pretty quickly, so with each tack the Yankee gets rolled up a few turns. By the time I turn head to wind to drop the pick, the Yankee can be the size of a bandanna and we are creeping up into the wind at less than a knot. As Nikki drops the pick I furl what's left of the jib and walk up to the foredeck to help her with the snub line.
We will not sail through a crowded anchorage; it's not that we can't, but why would we? We're sailing in and out so I'd rather have a bit of room around us in the morning to make sailing out easier. Not that we're out in the middle of the bay either, just not crammed in the middle of the crowd. Of course, there are those times when the bareboats scamper in at dusk and surround us like Indians around the covered wagons, but they are usually early risers, so they're gone before we even have our coffee.
We have yet to sail this boat to a dock, but since we only dock three times a year (for fuel), we haven't really had too many opportunities. Hope I never have to, though.

Usually if I have an audience, I screw it up, ha ha
Re: pulled anchor and sailed away...
On my little boat I get the sails up and luffing, pull in the anchor rode and chain so that the boat is right over the anchor, and when I sheet in the sails and lock the tiller the anchor releases without fail. I pull the anchor up all the way (almost all the way if it is covered in mud), and I get going.
I don't like using my outboard engine unless I absolutely have to.The noise and smell (it's a 2 stroke Nissan) always harsh my morning mellow so I would rather paddle a short distance than use it early in the morning. Small boats often make life easier and quieter.
Re: pulled anchor and sailed away...
I almost always raise the main before hauling the anchor, and then usually haul and sail away. I rarely anchor near much of anything but a weather shore, so no need for the motor.

If you're using a powered windlass to lift, be aware that most manufacturers recommend the engine at high idle while using the windlass due to the very high current load. Certainly a less aesthetic process.
Re: pulled anchor and sailed away...
I've done this any number of times, especially when anchored in a relatively open cove and the winds are favorable. I usually put the main sail up before raising the anchor, mainly because it's easy to do and I leave the main sheet a bit loose so the boat can swing a bit without effecting anything. As soon as I'm back in the cockpit, the main is sheeted, the jib unfurled and I'm on my way to somewhere.

Sounds perfect !!

I have had the opportunity to contribute to a brand-new piece of research led by my colleague Julie A. Ask, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester.
We both believe mobile has the potential to be even bigger and more disruptive than the Internet.
That's a bold statement! Today, few of the numerous professionals we interviewed are developing digital strategies that leverage context and make the most of the phenomenal technology packed inside mobile devices. Even fewer are anticipating the opportunities that will emerge tomorrow, with technology innovation driving capabilities around the user's context.
Indeed, the fancy features, such as GPS and NFC, embedded in mobile phones will become common, while new sensors like barometers will reveal more about the user's environment. The phones will also act as modems, relaying or interpreting information from other machines or from attachments with sensors. In a few years, mobile will be divorced from the PC. While a mobile device may have the ability to act like a PC, it has the potential to do much, much more. Product strategists must step into the leadership role, driving the development of user-context-based products. Increasingly, voice and motion will control devices and applications. There will be an entirely new generation of products and services delivered on mobile platforms that will not originate online.
At the end of the day, who knows you best? Your mobile phone! Why?
Because it will become the device you use to interact with the world around you — your hotel room, your shopping cart, your TV, your bank, your parking meter, your car, your running shoes, and many other aspects of your life. You won't be able to keep anything secret from your mobile phone.

The first submarine drone Nevada
Everyone is always amazed to learn of a waterproof Drone that not only floats on the water, but can take of and land from the water also.. whether fresh water, salt water, lake, ocean, pool… whatever you want to throw it in! But what if there was a Drone you could even 'fly' underwater..? Enter the "MARINER"
It seems there is no limit to the fun you can have with the "MARINER" Waterproof Drone, and now the fun got extended to underwater like a submarine! Just think of the possibilities..
'fly' down for a look at your boat, inspect the keel, rudder, or prop, have a look at that reef nearby.. the possibilities are endless!
Lots more videos still coming, so stay tuned and make sure and subscribe if you aren't already… You'll see us out there, if we don't see you first! 😉

The evacuation order for West Point tentatively is slated to be lifted Monday morning, but the schedule could change, according to emergency management officials.
The town was evacuated Wednesday after a chemical fire erupted in a derailed train in Jefferson County. The train derailed Monday, and the fire was ignited from trace amounts of 1,3 butadiene in the air.
The fire has since been contained within the train, said Jody Johnson Duncan, a spokeswoman for Louisville EMA/MetroSafe.
Another concern was the fire's proximity to two cars containing hydrogen fluoride. If the cars overheated and exploded, it would release the chemical into the air and would be dangerous. A small amount can be lethal.
Workers are now planning on dealing with those cars, Duncan said. They began an attempt to reposition the cars, but found a lot of debris underneath them. They were working to clear the debris Saturday, and planned to reposition them today.
When they're moved, a shelter-in-place order will be established for a five-mile radius, which asks residents to stay indoors, she said. Duncan said that should just last a day.
Duncan said they will do a reverse 911 call to alert residents of the order and issue media alerts.
A shelter for West Point residents at the former Muldraugh Elementary School closed Friday evening, and those displaced have been put in hotels, said Doug Finlay, deputy director of Hardin County Emergency Management.
P&L Railroad have been making reimbursements to displaced residents for expenses and costs such as lost wages and lost business sales. They also will be reimbursing the city of Radcliff for costs incurred from dealing with heavy traffic through the area because of the situation, Mayor J.J. Duvall said.

This guy made it work with no excuses. A place to study and sleep.
I live in a van down by Duke University
How do I afford grad school without going into debt? A '94 Econoline, bulk food and creative civil disobedience
By Ken Ilgunas
Photos by Ken Ilgunas
I was lying on the floor of my van where the middle pilot chairs used to be, trying to hide from view. This is it, I thought. They know. I'm going to get kicked out of Duke.
Moments before, I had been cooking a pot of spaghetti stew on top of a plastic, three-drawer storage container, which held all my food and my few meager possessions. I figured the campus security guard had parked next to me because he spotted the blue flame from my propane stove through the van's tinted windows and shades.
I held my breath as he shut off the engine and opened his door. I was in my boxer shorts, splayed across my stain-speckled carpet like a scarecrow toppled by the wind.
As I listened to what sounded like a pair of Gestapo jackboots approach the driver-side door, I thought about how I'd almost gotten away with it. For two whole months, I had been secretly living in my van on campus.
For some, van-dwelling may conjure images of pop-culture losers forced into desperate measures during troubled times: losers like Uncle Rico from "Napoleon Dynamite," or "Saturday Night Live's" Chris Farley who'd famously exclaim, "I live in a van down by the river!" before crashing through a coffee table, or perhaps the once ubiquitous inhabitants of multicolored VW buses, welcoming strangers with complimentary coke lines and invitations to writhing, hairy, back-seat orgies.
In my van there were no orgies or coke lines, no overweight motivational speakers. To me, the van was what Kon-Tiki was to Heyerdahl, what the GMC van was to the A-Team, what Walden was to Thoreau. It was an adventure.
Living in a van was my grand social experiment. I wanted to see if I could -- in an age of rampant consumerism and fiscal irresponsibility -- afford the unaffordable: an education.
I pledged that I wouldn't take out loans. Nor would I accept money from anybody, especially my mother, who, appalled by my experiment, offered to rent me an apartment each time I called home. My heat would be a sleeping bag; my air conditioning, an open window. I'd shower at the gym, eat the bare minimum and find a job to pay tuition. And -- for fear of being caught -- I wouldn't tell anybody.
Living on the cheap wasn't merely a way to save money and stave off debt; I wanted to live adventurously. I wanted to test my limits. I wanted to find the line between my wants and my needs. I wanted, as Thoreau put it, "to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life … to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms."
It wouldn't be hard for me to remain frugal. After buying the van and making my first tuition payment, I was only a few dollars away from having to rummage through Dumpsters to find my next meal. I was -- by conventional first-world definitions -- poor. While I faced little risk of malnutrition or disease like the truly poor, I still I didn't own an iPod, and I smelled sometimes.
My experiment began in the spring semester of 2009 when I enrolled in the graduate liberal studies department. Months before, I had just finished paying off $32,000 in undergraduate student loans -- no easy feat for an English major.
To pay off my debt, I'd found jobs that provided free room and board. I moved to Coldfoot, Alaska -- 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle and 250 from the nearest store -- where I worked as a lodge cleaner, a tour guide and a cook. Later, I worked on a trail crew in Mississippi in an AmeriCorps program. Between jobs I hitchhiked more than 7,000 miles to avoid paying airfare. When I couldn't find work, I moved in with friends. My clothes came from donation bins, I had friends cut my hair, and I'd pick up odd jobs when I could. Nearly every dime I made went into my loans.
I hated my debt more than anything. I dragged it with me wherever I went. While I was still leading an exciting, adventurous life, I knew I could never truly be free until my debt was gone.
I finally got out of the red when I landed a well-paying job with the Park Service as a backcountry ranger. Finally, after two and a half years of work, my debt was gone. I had four grand in the bank that was mine. All mine. It was the first time I had actual money that hadn't been borrowed or given to me since I was a 13-year-old paperboy.
The more money I had borrowed, I came to realize, the more freedom I had surrendered. Yet, I still considered my education -- as costly as it was -- to be priceless. So now, motivated to go back to school yet determined not to go back into debt, I had to think outside the box. Or, as Henry David Thoreau might suggest, inside one.
In "Walden," Thoreau mentioned a 6 foot-by-3 foot box he had seen by the railroad in which laborers locked up their tools at night. A man could live comfortably in one of these boxes, he thought. Nor would he have to borrow money and surrender freedom to afford a "larger and more luxurious box."
And so: I decided to buy a van. Though I had never lived in one, I knew I had the personality for it. I had a penchant for rugged living, a sixth sense for cheapness, and an unequaled tolerance for squalor.
My first order of business upon moving to Duke was to find my "Walden on Wheels." After a two-hour bus ride into the North Carolinian countryside, I caught sight of the '94 Ford Econoline that I had found advertised on Craigslist. Googly-eyed, I sauntered up to it and lovingly trailed fingertips over dents and chipped paint. The classy cabernet sauvignon veneer at the top slowly, sensuously faded downward into lustrous black. I got behind the wheel and revved up the fuel-funneling beast. There was a grumble, a cough, then a smooth and steady mechanical growl. It was big, it was beautiful, and -- best of all -- it was $1,500.
I bought it immediately. So began what I'd call "radical living."
I removed the two middle pilot chairs to create a living space, installed a coat hook, and spent $5 on a sheet of black cloth to hang behind my front and passenger seats so that -- between the sheet, tinted windows, and shades -- no one would be able to see me inside. I neatly folded my clothes into a suitcase, and I hung up my dress shirts and pants on another hook I screwed into the wall.
I at first failed to notice the TV and VCR (that I would never use) placed between the two front chairs. Nor did I know about the 12-disc CD changer hiding under the passenger seat until weeks later.
Just when I thought I had uncovered all the van's secrets, I found a mysterious button toward the back. When I pushed it, the back seat grumbled, vibrated and -- much to my jubilation -- began slowly transforming into a bed. I half-expected to see a disco ball descend from the ceiling and hear '70s porn music blare from the speakers.
Fortuitously, I was assigned a parking lot in a remote area on campus next to a cluster of apartments where I hoped campus security would presume I lived.
Over time, my van felt less like a novelty and more like a home. At night I was whirred to sleep by crescendos of cicadas. In the morning, I awoke to a medley of birdsong so loud and cheery you would have thought my little hermitage was tucked away in a copse of trees. During rainstorms, I listened to millions of raindrops drum against the roof and watched them wiggle like sperm down my windows.
I loved cooking in the van. As an adept backcountry camper, I could easily whip up an assortment of economical and delicious meals on my backpacking stove. For breakfast, cereal with powdered milk and oatmeal with peanut butter became staples; for dinner, spaghetti stew with peanut butter, vegetable stew with peanut butter, and even rice and bean tacos with peanut butter. Without proper refrigeration, I cut out meat, dairy and beer from my diet entirely. I became leaner, got sick less and had more energy than ever before.
By buying food in bulk I reduced my food bill to $4.34 cents a day. I was meticulous with my expenditures. I saved every receipt and wrote down everything I bought. Not including tuition, I lived (and lived comfortably) on $103 a week, which covered my necessities: food, gas, car insurance, a cellphone and visits to the laundromat.
The idea of "thrift," once an American ideal, now seems almost quaint to many college students, particularly those at elite schools. The typical student today is not so frugal. Few know where the money they're spending is coming from and even fewer know how deep they're in debt. They're detached from the source of their money. That's because there is no source. They're getting paid by their future selves.
My "radical living" experiment convinced me that the things plunging students further into debt -- the iPhones, designer clothes, and even "needs" like heat and air conditioning, for instance -- were by no means "necessary." And I found it easier to "do without" than I ever thought it would be. Easier by far than the jobs I'd been forced to take in order to pay off my loans.
Most undergrads imagine they'll effortlessly pay off their loans when they start getting paid the big bucks; they're living in a state of denial, disregarding the implications of a tough job market and how many extra years of work their spending sprees have sentenced them to. But "facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored," as Aldous Huxley famously said.
I have sympathy for my fellow students. I did many of the same things when I was an undergrad. Plus, escaping student debt -- no matter how frugal they try to be -- is nearly impossible. Even if they do resort to purchasing a large creepy van, most will still have to go tens of thousands of dollars into debt to pay for tuition.
While I found a way to afford graduate school, I by no means had the same financial responsibilities as the average student. I was so poor when I applied that my department took pity on me and significantly reduced the cost of my tuition. I even found a well-paying part-time job working for a government-sponsored program, tutoring inner-city kids.
Governments and financial aid departments normally aren't so helpful. For decades, the government has let legions of college students -- students who wished to better themselves and contribute to society -- go into soul-crippling debt. Schools don't make it any easier with steep hikes in tuition and baffling room and board costs. Students are oftentimes forced to pay for insanely priced meal plans and are barred from moving to cheaper housing off-campus. At Duke, the cheapest on-campus meal plan charges them 3.5 times more a day than it cost to feed me. Their dorm rooms cost 18 times more than my parking permit.
Here, the average undergraduate student who's taken out loans graduates with more than $23,000 in debt -- about the national average. The cost of education at Duke, as at most schools across the country, is disgracefully high. Tuition costs (not factoring in financial aid) more than $37,000 a year. Additionally, students have to pay at least another $10,000 for books, meal plans, fees and dorms.
Duke's egregiously hefty price tag is no anomaly. Nor is it unusual for students to unflinchingly take out massive loans that'll take them years, sometimes decades, to pay off. Willingness to go into debt, of course, isn't just confined to students; we're a nation in debt, collectively and individually. Going into debt today is as American as the 40-hour work week; or the stampede of Wal-Mart warriors on Black Friday; or the hillocks of gifts under a Christmas tree. An army of loan drones we've become, marching from one unpaid-for purchase to the next in quest of a sense of fulfillment that fades long before the bill arrives. We're little different from the Spanish explorers who dedicated their lives to the quest for El Dorado, which was always just around the next bend in the river, yet never there at all.
I refused to join those ranks. I became a deserter, an eccentric, an outsider. At Duke, I felt like an ascetic in the midst of wealth, a heretic in the Church of the Consumer. I had to hide.
Because I was so paranoid about campus security finding out about my experiment, I kept myself apart from other students. Whenever I did talk with a fellow classmate, I found myself souring the conversation with preposterous lies -- lies I'd tell to protect myself. Whenever someone asked me where I lived, I'd say "off campus," or I'd make up an address before changing the subject. I found it easier to avoid people altogether.
I worried that if students caught wind of my experiment, a Facebook group would be created for "People who've had a confirmed sighting of the campus van-dweller." Campus security would find out, deem my lodgings illegal and promptly kick me out of the van and into some conventional and unaffordable style of living, wherein I'd have to buy a rug to tie the room together.
Deprived of human companionship, I cloistered myself in my van and in libraries where I was alone with my thoughts and my books. Time for self-reflection, study and solitude was what I thought I'd wanted all along.
But of all the things that I gave up for "radical living," I found it fitting that the one thing I wanted most was that which couldn't be bought. When a trio of laughing males drunkenly stumbled past my van, probably hoisting one another up like injured comrades after battle, I thought of my friends back home. On winter nights, when the windows were coated with a frosty glaze, I'd wish for a woman to share the warmth of my sleeping bag.
While I have plenty of good things to say about simplicity, living in a van wasn't all high-minded idealism in action. Washing dishes became so troublesome I stopped altogether, letting specks of dried spaghetti sauce and globs of peanut butter season the next meal. There was no place to go to the bathroom at night. I never figured out exactly where to put my dirty laundry. Once, when a swarm of ants overtook my storage containers, I tossed and turned all night, imagining them spelunking into my orifices like cave divers while I slept. New, strange, unidentifiable smells greeted me each evening. Upon opening the side doors, a covey of odors would escape from the van like spirits unleashed from a cursed ark.
But no adventure is without bouts of loneliness, discomfort and the ubiquitous threat of food poisoning. I loved my van. Because of it, I could afford grad school. So naturally I was nervous as I listened to the security guard's weapons jingle as he ambled by my windshield.
But he just kept walking.
I was overcome by an odd sense of dissatisfaction. Deep down, I think I wanted him to discover me. I wanted a showdown. I wanted to wave my arms at the dean and cry, "Impound my van? Over my dead body! I'll take you straight to the Supreme Court!" Fellow students would rally behind me. We'd stage car-dwelling protests and after winning back my right to remain voluntarily poor, people would begin to consider me the campus sage. I'd wear loose white clothing, grow my beard, and speak in aphorisms to the underclassmen who journeyed the mile on foot to my sacred parking space where I'd serve them tea.
Today I still live in the van. I haven't taken out loans or borrowed money from anyone. Really, the only thing that's different is that I've set up my laundry area by the passenger seat. Also, after another summer with the Park Service, I have more money than I possibly need. Now, instead of being poor, I am radically frugal. Sometimes, though, I think it would be nice to have an ironing board, plumbing and a wood stove.
It would be nice. A middle-class family might think it would be nice to have an in-ground swimming pool. A millionaire might think it would be nice to have a yacht. The billionaire, a private jet. Someone, somewhere might think it would be nice to have food to feed her family tonight. Someone, somewhere might think it would be nice to live in a van in order to afford to go to a wonderful school. I could begin satisfying my desires and buying comforts, but I've learned to appreciate what little I have instead of longing for what I do not.
Admittedly, now that I have money I buy the fancy peanut butter from Whole Foods, and I've even purchased an expensive pair of hiking boots. But most things are the same: I still cook spartan meals, I don't have an iPod, and I park in the very same spot. And I still have my secret. Well, that is, until now.

This guy made it work with no excuses. A place to study and sleep.
I laughed at the "fancy" part of that.Admittedly, now that I have money I buy the fancy peanut butter from Whole Foods,

What a great story !!!!
I thought I lived a spartan life as an undergrad (military cadet). I paid my accumulated bills with my combat pay from Vietnam. The left-over crumbs were saved for grad school (ie that which the ex didn't grab).
This student living in "Walden Van" may be in for a sad shock after earning his MA. There is little to zero employment for such an education in today's f##ked-up economy/market. Work for the gov't ??? yeah right !!! Teach at a university ?? Not without a PhD and a Pulitzer in your pocket. He may wish to hang on to his park service job... and his van.
As a grad student I used to routinely get free credit cards issued just because of the level of my studies. I chopped them up. My credit history was very good due to paying off all my old loans and bills in a timely manner inspite of a divorce. However as this fellow notes... you will one day have to pay it all back plus interest. That sucks !!!
One last thought as a recycled engineer. This young student may wish to invest in a photo voltaic array for the roof of his van plus a couple large batteries and a ventillation fan. Used or surplus components are inexpensive. This will help make his tiny environment a bit more palatable with fresh air.

More Homeless Americans Living in Cars and Campers
By KEVIN O'LEARY / LOS ANGELES Kevin O'leary / Los Angeles Sat Feb 13, 11:00 am ET
Tim Barker never thought he'd have to live in his truck. Four months ago, the plumber was in a one-bedroom apartment in California's San Fernando Valley, with a pool and a Jacuzzi. Then, on his birthday in October, he and 199 other plumbers were laid off by their union, Local 761 in Burbank. Now Barker's son sleeps on the sofa of his cousin's one-bedroom Hollywood apartment, and Barker sleeps on the roof of the apartment building - or in his 2003 Ford Ranger pickup. "I'm 47, and I've never lived in my car," says Barker, a husky 220-lb. single father with sandy hair and a rapid-fire voice. In January, as torrential rains pelted the streets of Southern California, father and son were sleeping in the truck in San Pedro, next to the Los Angeles Harbor. "We were able to spend four nights in the Vagabond Motel, but for two nights we slept in the car," says Barker. "It was raining, cold, and the cat was jumping on us. We both got sick."
For people who cannot afford rent, a car is the last rung of dignity and sanity above the despair of the streets. A home on wheels is a classic American affair, from the wagon train to the RV. Now, for some formerly upwardly mobile Americans, the economic storm has turned the backseat or the rear of the van into the bedroom. "We found six people sleeping in their cars on an overnight police ride-along in December," says John Edmund, chief of staff to Long Beach councilman Dee Andrews. "One was a widow living in a four-door sedan. She and her husband had been Air Force veterans. She did not know about the agencies that could help her. I had tears in my eyes afterwards."
"Cars are the new homeless shelters," says Joel John Roberts, CEO of PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) Partners, the largest provider of services for the homeless in Los Angeles County, which had nearly 50,000 people homeless in 2009. Of these, experts estimate that up to 10% live in vehicles - even though doing so is illegal in most of the county. A similar situation is true for many other regions across the nation, especially in the Sun Belt. A woman lives in her BMW in Marina Del Rey, a swank L.A. address on the coast. PATH outreach workers Jorge Guzman and Tomasz Babiszkiewicz say she was an executive recruiter until the Great Recession. "She was self-employed for 36 years," says Guzman. "Now she sits in the car with a blanket and reads. She has not told her daughter."
Barker, the out-of-work plumber, has checked out shelters, motels and homeless-assistance programs throughout the Los Angeles area as he scrambles to find a roof for his son and him to sleep under. "We went down to a shelter in downtown, but it was bad - heroin, crack, smells. Randy looked at me and said, 'Dad, get me out of here. It's spooky.' Now I am trying to get assistance to get into an apartment in San Pedro so Randy can get back in school." PATH outreach workers are talking to Barker about his possible eligibility for federal assistance with rent and utilities under the new federal homelessness-prevention program.
One problem Barker has discovered with living in a pickup truck is keeping track of things. "My cousin is our ace in the hole," Barker says as he stands in a crowded one-bedroom apartment that has seen better days. On his cousin's cluttered coffee table sits a worn yellow briefcase covered with union stickers; it's stuffed with unemployment forms, birth certificates, old utility bills and school application papers for Randy, a skinny 12-year-old who loves basketball.
People who fall into homelessness say it feels like a spiral. A layoff, a medical emergency or a domestic quarrel sets off a chain reaction of bad luck. And the risk of falling into the economic abyss has increased, even in better times. Writing before the housing bubble burst and Wall Street collapsed, Yale political scientist Jacob Hacker showed that the big difference between 30 years ago and today is the dramatic growth in income volatility. American family incomes now rise and fall much more sharply from year to year, and this is happening at the same time that public and private safety nets have eroded.
Some of the floating economic refugees, especially those from the middle and working classes, "do not think of themselves as homeless," says Susan Price, director of homeless services in Long Beach. "They think, 'I'm not that. I am just living in my car.' " In fact, living in your car counts as being homeless, according to the Federal Government. Peggy, 58, who lives in a small RV on a quiet Hollywood side street, says, "If I had known how hard it is to be homeless and how hard it is to escape, I would have called all my friends to ask for help. But I was embarrassed." She was laid off from her telemarketing job in January 2009. "It was the same day that 76,000 people were laid off. I did not feel alone. I liked my job. It was within walking distance of my apartment." Her mother gave her the nearly 20-year-old RV that houses Peggy and her dog Fluffy. Wearing tennis shoes and a leather jacket, Peggy says she misses her apartment but enjoys still being in the neighborhood. "I sweep the sidewalk and pick up the trash," she says. "There is a real sense of community here."
"I know I am homeless," says Agnes Cooper, 58, who parks her silver 2006 Chevy HHR hatchback at a local gym in Phoenix. "If [the managers of the gym] know, they haven't said, and I have not asked permission. When I first slept in my car, I was parking at a Burger King, but the young kids made fun of me, and I am not accustomed to children being disrespectful." Cooper says her passenger seat folds down flat and she sleeps well. She works out and showers every morning and says the gym is "the best thing that ever happened to my body." A series of physical ailments to her back, legs and wrists caused her to stop working as a registered nurse; that, coupled with the death of her husband, forced her from her apartment.
Cooper says she faces a choice. She receives $909 a month in Social Security. After her bills, she has $289 left, plus the $100 she now pays for storage. She could spend that money to move into subsidized housing, but if she did, then she would be nearly broke: little money for food, no money to give at Sunday services, no money to buy her grandchildren gifts and no money to give to others in need - things she does on a regular basis. Now that her health has improved and her back is stronger, she hopes she can go back to work, at least part time.
Cooper's situation will be stable until she loses her car. Price says, "When people can no longer can afford to register their car and the police tow it, then people are on the street. That is the last rung. The towing and impounding charges are steep, and frequently people lose everything." Rudy Salinas, who directs the PATH outreach team in Los Angeles, says, "Allowing people to park on the street is a short-term solution. It is great for tonight, but not for next year."
"It's no fun living in your car," says Mike, a lighting specialist in the Los Angeles entertainment industry who has been out of work for a year. One of his last jobs was the Academy Awards show. "I don't have a job right now, in part because of my situation. Did you know that 50% of people who are homeless and living in their cars have jobs?" He keeps his vehicle registration current and parks his van on side streets on L.A.'s west side and in the San Fernando Valley. "You want to park where it is safe and inconspicuous. Not a busy street where someone might plow into you, and not a place where the bums will bother you," Mike says. "If the police hassle you, they'll impound your car and you'll lose everything. I don't want to find out."
Black Blade: I suspect that this is only the beginning and these people will have a head start on survival in the new economy. At least they will have learned the basic urban suvival skills before the next wave of unemployed follow.

Ocala National Forest Florida. Has a huge community of homeless people.
When I moved up too Central Fla. I refused to pay the comical prices they wanted for slum apartments.
I bought a couple of tents and set up camp in a certified camp ground. Think it was $5 a day.
Stayed there for 2 months looking for a place to purchase. Full bathroom facilities, small store nearby.
Chopping firewood for heat and cooking. Up early, bed early. No T.V. no noisy neighbors. Loved it.
People have all types of places set up in the National Forest. There is a whole underground community living out there.
Long as you dont get too crazy with construction of your living quarters, the Rangers pretty much leave people be.
With the depression this country is in, and bad economic times. My guess is the Forest is going to start getting a lot more crowded.

I once thought I lived in upper middle class America, then middle class America, now lower middle class America The money hasn't changed, the value of the money is shrinking. I have lived in tents and foxholes, where the only priority was living through the tour, in a converted school bus, up through conventional housing and through it all had good times and bad times.
The Secret to Living Well on $11,000 a Year
Glenn Morrissette, 42, wrote in to say that he lives on just $11,000 a year, and he does it by living full-time in an RV. As a result, he pays no rent, needs no car, and can live wherever he wants. Unlike Joseph Fonseca, the writer we profiled in our "Living Well on $20,000 a Year" article, Morrissette has health insurance. A professional musician, he can work by computer from any location. He might not have a family support, as the teacher living on $40,000 a year does, but we thought Morrissette's story was interesting enough to share. We spoke with Morrissette, who is currently in New Jersey, about his lifestyle, which he also describes on his blog, To Simplify. Excerpts:
Why did you decide to live in an RV?
I had an apartment in Burbank and was the typical Los Angeles apartment dweller. I started to feel a strong desire to simplify my life. I had a garage full of stuff I never used, my closets were full, and I started to see that it was costing me money to have an apartment big enough to hold all the stuff I never use.
Glenn Morrissette
My initial plan was to scale back and move into a smaller apartment. Before long, I realized I didn't need too much to be happy. I could fit into a small space. That's when the RV idea occurred to me. I was just sitting in traffic and an RV pulled up. I said, "I could probably fit in that thing." The more I looked into it, the more I realized how practical it would be. For what I was paying for rent in LA, I could own my "house" free and clear and not pay rent, and own my car as well.
How do you stay under $11,000 a year?
The two key things that make it possible are not having rent or a mortgage payment. I own my RV, so that was an initial expense [of about $14,000], but I have no house or car payment. Gas is controllable; I don't drive if I don't want to. Most months, I spend less than $300 on gas. I estimate that I save about $1,000 a month compared to what I was spending in LA.
What do you eat?
I eat pretty well. I don't skimp on food. I eat a lot of grass-fed meats, fruits, and vegetables ... some people call it the caveman diet. I go to farms, farmers markets, and health food stores. I probably spend about $250 a month on food. I could spend a lot less if I didn't care about eating well.
Do you have health insurance?
Yes. I'm self-employed so I purchase my own plan. I have a high-deductible plan and pay $80 per month. It would be even cheaper if I was 28. I don't understand young people who say, "I can't afford health insurance." Last year, my appendix ruptured, and the insurance was a life-saver. I learned my lesson.
What about clothes?
I'm a pretty basic jeans and T-shirt kind of guy. I don't have to go to the office, so I don't need a wardrobe. I have nine to 10 shirts and a couple pairs of jeans. I do have a suit so I can get dolled up when I have to, but my normal wardrobe is pretty minimal. I do one load of laundry every week, and I don't see the point of owning more clothes than I can do in one load of laundry.
Do you spend money on entertainment?
I don't go out much at all. I prefer the food I make to what I get in restaurants. More often than not, I'm disappointed. I'm pretty health-conscious and I want my food to be real food, so I'm content eating what I make. The idea of spending $30 at a restaurant--that seems like four to five days' worth of food to me. Years ago, I ate out every single meal. I'm kicking myself now, if only I had invested that money instead.
I'm not a big drinker, although I drink somewhat socially. I'm a pretty simple guy. Music is my life. Even if I'm not working, if I have a free day, I will spend a big chunk doing music. It's a profession and a hobby.
Do you splurge on anything?
The food I eat. I don't feel like I'm skimping at all. It's a form of health insurance to me.
And I just try to put myself in interesting places. I'm surprised how easy it is to do that. A lot of stuff is free out there. There's a lot of beautiful scenery in this country and it doesn't cost anything just to park. You can just drive into a national forest and live there for two weeks. I always try to give myself great real estate, whether it's by an ocean, a lake, or in the center of a cool little town. So I always have a great front yard, real estate that people would pay millions of dollars for, and it doesn't cost me anything.
I'm pretty frugal otherwise, and I don't miss it. I used to be part of the whole consumerist cycle, buying stuff I didn't need, and I don't do that anymore. It's liberating. I can maximize my savings. That's true freedom, to get to the point where I can say no to work anytime I want because I have a big enough nest egg. I'm not there yet, but that's my goal.
Do you have a retirement account?
Yes, I'm an avid investor. I guard my nest egg like crowned jewels. But I don't see myself ever retiring. I love what I do. I'd much rather do what I love and live small, and enjoy life.
Black Blade: Another van dweller living cheap. I guess it can be done. I also see he is on the Paleo-Diet.

narrowing a rear end?
Hey everyone.
Been chattin about my v8 trike and it seems that due to power vs weight i may not want a posi unit.
If not im lookin at maybe a older 6 lug open carrier ford rear with 3.55 or 3.23 gears.
My question is this...
how hard or expensive would it be to take an old rearend and narrow it? Do i need all new axles or can they be cut n repslined? Expensive????
Just need the basic details. Tnx...hg
If you have the equipment to do it.
Narrowing a housing, you need to have some way to get it straight. I make a fixture from bar stock. With donut spacers cut to fit the center carrier bearing saddles. Also the outer bearing housing. A steel plate to clamp to each end of housing. Then the housing is cut to dimension. Spacers installed and bar inserted. Tack weld prepped housing in three places, each end. Bar should turn easily. Then weld housing.
Axles are a different matter. If the axle isn't tapered too much from flange to spline and there is enuff diameter to spline. It can be cut and re-splined.
I used to do these in house. But the PIA factor and the toughness of most axles. I send them out to Moser in Indiana. Moser Engineering - Moser Engineering - Home
Some rear ends are easier to narrow than others. Most c clip axles can not be resplined. The 9 inch Ford, Dana 60 and 8 3/4 Mopar axles can usually be resplined. I would be careful about using resplined axles. They are not as strong as axles that are made to the correct length. If you break an axle on that trike you are going to be in for a wild ride that you might not survive.
You do need a housing fixture to align the housing ends with the differential bearing bore. If you don't get this straight you can have all kinds of problems.

Arsène Wenger has dismissed out-of-hand suggestions that Robin van Persie might move to Manchester City in January.
Friday morning's newspapers suggested Roberto Mancini may be interested in the Arsenal captain after a very public disagreement with his own striker Carlos Tevez this week.
Speaking a few hours later at his usual pre-match press conference, Wenger put any concern from supporters to rest.
"This is a story created to create a story," he said. "There is no truth to it. There is nothing to say really.
"Anybody who wants to sign one of our players can call me. Everybody has my phone number.
"I don't know why we are even speaking about transfers. Robin is under contract until 2013."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

Box score
FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Anchored by sophomore Jack Rice's (Baltimore, Md.) hat trick and points from nine different players, the Villanova men's lacrosse team (3-1, 0-0 BIG EAST) brought home a significant 10-6 victory over Fairfield (2-2, 0-0) on Saturday afternoon. Sophomore Billy Hurley (Morristown, N.J.) tallied 13 saves in the win.
The possession-style game led to only two goals in the first quarter, with Fairfield's Matt Plominski finding the net at the 8:04 mark from a Max Trunz assist. Just four minutes later with 4:27 remaining the period, junior Kevin Cunningham (Garden City, N.Y.) scored his seventh goal of the season on a man-up opportunity to tie the score at 1-1.
Fairfield was able to notch two quick goals to begin the second stanza with scores from Sam Snow and Jordan Greenfield to give the Stags a 3-1 lead.
After being assessed two slashing penalties, Fairfield gave the Wildcats a two-man advantage at the 8:33 mark, with Rice (Baltimore, Md.) making the most of the opportunity on a bouncer to goal from a Will Casertano (Millbrook, N.Y.) assist.
Just four minutes later with 3:49 on the clock, junior C.J. Small (San Diego, Calif.) notched his second goal of the season on a straight shot to net, beating Fairfield's Charlie Cipriano to the low right and tying the game at 3-3.
Fairfield responded by scoring on an EMO, moving the scoreboard to 4-3 in favor of the Stags.
To end the quarter, Cunningham collected his second goal of the day of an Andrew Henrich (Wyndmoor, Pa.) assist, ending the half with a tied game, 4-4.
Coming out of the locker room, Max Hart (Bethesda, Md.) gave Villanova the 5-4 lead on an unassisted play, with Fairfield responding with a Kuring goal at 7:42 to tie the game at 5-5.
The last 1:36 of the quarter saw Doherty capitalize on a rocket so the low right corner and Rice responding less than a minute later, finding a pass from Hart while he was cutting to the top of the crease. With the duo of goals, the Wildcats took the 7-5 lead before Fairfield notched a score with 32 seconds remaining.
The final quarter would prove to be the game-winner for the Wildcats, with Rice, Bell and Casertano tallying unanswered scores at 12:00, 9:56 and 4:32 marks to finish the contest, 10-6.
Junior Nolan Vihlen (Germantown, Tenn.) was a dominate force on face-offs for the Wildcats, winning 11-15 attempts from the X while collecting a team-high four ground balls for the day.
The Wildcats return home to Villanova Stadium to face Penn State on Tuesday, March 8th at 7 p.m.
