Green Bay Suffers Tough Loss at Oregon State
By: Jill Wunrow (@JillWunrow)
CORVALLIS, Ore. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay (2-5-1, 0-1 HL) men'ssoccer team fell 6-1 to Oregon State (4-2-1) in its opening contest of the Oregon State Hensor/Zaher Nike Classic Friday, Sept. 21 at Lorenz Field in Corvallis Ore.
Oregon State struck early in the game, scoring goals in the first and 24th minutes to take a 2-0 lead at the break.
The Beavers added four more goals to take a 6-0 lead before Green Bay's Sebastian Xiong (Cottage Grove, Wis.) scored a header goal off a corner kick from Jordan Dover (Ontario, Canada), putting the Phoenix on the board. The goal was Xiong's first of the season and Dover's first assist.
Oregon State outshot the Phoenix 20-12 and 4-2 on corner kicks in the contest with Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) leading Green Bay with four shots while Whitney Browne (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) and Dover chipped in two shots each.
In his second contest since Aug. 31, senior Goalkeeper Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.) made six saves in the loss.
The Phoenix will look to bounce back Sunday as it battles Gonzaga (2-3-0) Sunday at 11 a.m. CT wrapping up its play in the Oregon State Hensor/Zaher Nike Classic. Green Bay returns home to Aldo Santaga Stadium Saturday, Sept. 29 as it hosts Wright State in a Horizon League battle at 7 p.m.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says Arsenal have the quality to share the burden of goalscoring this season.
Gervinho and Podolski have started the campaign brightly, scoring five and four times respectively, and both netted for the second successive Champions League game on Wednesday night.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is happy with the form of the pair, and hopes they can maintain it in the coming weeks.
"They're brilliant players - they can score goals and we knew they were capable of it," he told Arsenal Player.
"We see it in training and it's brilliant for us that it's coming out. Gervinho's scored a lot of goals in the last few games so we hope he can keep it going."
Oxlade-Chamberlain maintains there will be goals from all around the Arsenal squad, and he believes he needs to find the net more often.
"From set pieces you've got the likes of Vermaelen who can score goals, and obviously Santi [Cazorla] can always pop up with a good goal," he said.
"Or myself, I need to get on the score sheet more often I think. Theo can score, so there's goals all over the team. But it's really good that those boys are doing well."

PLEASE DO NOT POST IN ALL-CAPS. It looks as if you are shouting.
Several California schools provide gunsmithing courses. Send for community-college catalogs, or access them on the web, and see what you can find.
My memory (faulty at my age) says that at least two California State colleges in Northern California have gunsmithing courses (Trinity and Humboldt, I think).
The Brownells website provides leads to gunsmithing schools, too, but not necessarily in California.
Failing that, there are community college and state college programs that will teach you machine-shop practice. It's not specifically gunsmithing, but it's what you need.
After finishing gunsmithing school, apprentice yourself to a gunsmith and learn the tricks of the trade. It would be worth your while to be willing to move to another town, in order to find such a position. It would also be worthwhile to work for no pay while you are apprenticing, just for the learning experience.
Both the school from which you graduate and Brownells can help you there, too.
I live in a very small "town." We have one gunsmith. He's a very recent graduate of the program at Colorado School of Trades (or Mines—I disremember). He's very young, and he still has to work in local restaurants in the summer, in order to live. But his work is pretty good and, as he improves and gathers clients, he will be self-supporting soon.
(It's not a high-pay job. My father used to say, "Just as the shoemaker's children never go shod, the gunsmith's kids can never afford to buy a gun.")

I've been researching dynos for YEARS. I think at this point I'm nearly 9 years of testing and researching.
Before I go into a ton of detail, I thought I'd share some documents and articles with you that have already been written:
Sport Compact Car - August 2004 - What's Wrong with Your Dyno?
Car and Driver - Is your Dyno Lying? - May 2004
I have another one from this month's Hot Rod Magazine doing about the same thing with a Shelby GT500 Super Snake. I'll try to get it scanned in.
I personally have had experience using:
DynoJet 224s
Dynojet 248s
Dyno Dynamics
Mustang MD-1100SE
Land and Sea DynoMites
I have done some paper-only research on
Dynamic Test Systems
I'm nearly ready to complete my research and put it all into a nice written document for everyone to read.

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front(MILF) has gone back to using military force after peace negotiations with the government broke down. Philippine military aircraft blasted MILF boats carrying at least 100 insurgents causing large number of casualties. The major issue confronting the Philippine nation is the desire of their Muslim minority which mainly lives in southern regions of the nation for control over those areas in which they are a majority. A problem is the presence of Christians in the same areas and they have no desire to live under control of a Muslim government which undoubtedly would impose Sharia law. Peace negotiations ceased when opposition leaders in the legislature condemned the government for even considering a sharing of power arrangement. The result is once again the nation is facing a cruel and sadistic guerrilla war which will go on for years.
There are promises and offers of bounties for the death of Moro leaders but they most probably are being offered to show a position of strength. They are akin to Bush boasts of rewards for the death of Osama bin Laden. The war goes on, death continues, and sometime in the coming year there again will be negotiations.

In June, I attended three cloud events in 10 days: Cloud Expo East in New York City, Cloud Ecosystem in Frankfurt, Germany, and IBM's ISV Executive Summit in Stuttgart, Germany. Prior to these events, I prepared to be inundated with questions about IBM's intent to acquire Softlayer. But the more recent current events related to the Prism Scandal turned almost every conversation into a discussion about data privacy, security, and cloud computing.
The Europeans interpreted the events very differently from the Americans. In the US, the conversation focused on who was responsible and the whereabouts of Edward Snowden. In Europe, the conversation was about the outrage of learning that data—really any data, anywhere, anytime—is accessible by people with the right credentials. At least in my meetings and conversations, Americans were less focused on individual freedoms than the Europeans.
In Europe, there is strong consensus that the best way to control access is to maintain the data in country. Germany, with some of the strictest laws around data privacy, is viewed as a good location for any data center that supports the European Union. But sometimes, even when the data sits on a disk in a data center in a given country, the owner of that data center might employ administrators from other countries, like maybe India, to maintain that system on a regular basis. So while it's important to know where the data sits, it's equally important to know where the administrator sits.
More importantly, there are basic data security policies that apply regardless of where the data resides. Is the data encrypted? If so, at what level and who holds the encryption keys? These are the same questions organizations should be asking, whether the data is on the CEO's laptop, in a secured data center, or somewhere in the cloud. Good data security policy transcends any technology infrastructure, even cloud computing.
There are articles telling us why the Prism program portends the end of cloud computing, and there are articles telling us the very same program will lead to growth in cloud computing. And there are articles telling us that we shouldn't worry about government spying anyway when we so freely give our personal information away to social media sites and online marketers.
Whether we're talking about government sponsored surveillance programs, online marketing, or illegal hacking, the warning is the same: as individuals we need to be vigilant about who is maintaining our online data and how. And as technology vendors, we need to ensure that our policies and practices are well designed, transparent and audited.

Hi all. this is a great site. I have finally decided to try and make my own outfit after years of wanting to do so.
Due to lack of money I will be doing this in parts. My question is: Should I begin with the helmet and work from there? I am just trying to decide which might be the best area to start with.
Also..I am a little confused on what helmet should be used. Is Don Post Delux ok for a begginner like me? it is kind of mind boggling reading about all these different helmets that are available.

Re: A bluewater live-aboard for under $20k
Another economist here. I'm going to suggest a modification to your plan. Why not start more slowly?
Your boat is going to eat your entire budget. Even if you can find a boat in your price range that will get you to the Caribbean, how are you going to eat on your trip? Pay for repairs? Budget for emergencies?
You should also consider your job search. I assume you are looking for degree-related employment. The market for MAs in economics is very thin. Particularly with the states in a budget crisis for the foreseeable future, it may take some time to find a job. I hire new MAs, and most of my candidates haven't completed their degrees yet. You should be budgeting some time and money to find a job.
Why not offer to crew on a longer trip while working on your thesis? That will give you a taste of cruising while minimizing cost and time away from starting your search. You'll also not be single-handing all the way to the Caribbean (if I understand your plans correctly).
The big markets for your degree are in DC and NYC. Both excellent sailing areas. Lots of people work a few years, save up a reasonable budget for a long trip, and take off.
Good luck, whatever you decide to do,
Re: A bluewater live-aboard for under $20k
Welcome to sail net. Stay out of bluewater for now. Get something that can cross from ft. laud to the carib for now. 20k for a boat ready for true blue water is a lot to ask. The east coast has a lot to offer for a beginner and experienced alike. Go cheap gain exp and get a blue water for the next one. Hunter morgan columbia coronado benateau jeanneau all great names that there are plenty of for great prices. know what the book value is and what the market value is. There is a big difference in most cases.
good luck
Re: A bluewater live-aboard for under $20k
If you are going to be coastal hopping and want to have a boat that can cruise longer distances on the cheap, a Vanguard that has been well maintained would be a good solution. Felicity is for sale in Falmouth Maine (no interest or relation) for $11,500 asking and looks to be in great shape with a rebuilt A4. They come in a standard or dinette layout, Felicity is a dinette. Boats are bullet proof older hulls. The dinette is great for living aboard, more galley space then the Bristol 35.5 I'm looking at.
Boat sails well for its age and type and will handle the bigger stuff easily. Three guys from St Anselms College bought one and did a three year circumnavigation as a graduation present to themselves. I spoke with the captain and he indicated the boat performed very well. I know of several in addition that have done pacific crossings and plenty of trans Atlantic crossings.
6'2" headroom, prettiest lines in the harbor, from the drawing board of Phil Rhodes.
I'm getting close to my time to cruise and if I were going solo, I'd do it on a Vanguard in a heartbeat. Would I like a bigger boat? Maybe a little bigger-for one its comfortable and for two its a squeeze, but the money I save and the simplicity of an easier to handle the design is very attractive. Its not camping, I have hot water, rerfigeration and an oven. The interior is plain, but a lot of the upgrades I have done have been mostly cosmetic and mine is becoming pretty darned yachty down below.
Guess I am biased, but seems to fit your budget-would that I had the clarity when I was your age to chuck it all and go on a journey.
Re: A bluewater live-aboard for under $20k
First what do you consider to be a bluewater boat? I'm in the camp that blue water saling is anytime you are more then 24 hours running time from shore. Blue water boats should have minimal cockpits size wise ie deffinately less then 1/4 of overall length.
I'm looking for a coastal boat that will take me from Nova Scotia to the Caribbean by coast hopping down the eastern seaboard. Being a live aboard then having a decent galley is important to me and not one of those god forsaken things tucked into the port or starboard side of the aft cabin. I like the Irwins and Columbia's for their layout. I also like the late 60's to pre 74 years as the hulls were thick and un cored. I also am looking for a shoal keel or full keel with tiller. Important stuff structural integrity and solid spars. I expect to replace the standing and running rigging as well as the electronics. Most boats I have looked at would also require additional tankage for fuel and water and waste. Something else to consider is opening ports. Many coastals don't really have them or enough and they are expensive to replace. There will only be two of us but we are still looking in the 30 to 35 foot range with at least 6 foot 1 of head room.
So my list:
Bristol *
Pearson ?
Cal ?
The largest open water passage we ever expect to make would be about 300 nm. And I'm not into racing in the least.
Re: A bluewater live-aboard for under $20k
If you are interested check out the Chuck Paine designed Bahama Sandpiper. We have one of 12 made. It has an 18" draft and a centerboard, a 5000 lb skeg, cutter-rigges and my fiance solo sailed it on the coast of Maine for 20 years. Now we will be parting with it to get a family boat in the 34" range. Let us know.

I've read many of your posts and am thusly grateful for your response. The Tartan 30 is on this list because of one of your previous posts... possibly comparing it to a Vanguard. And the more input I get, the more I realize the term 'bluewater' doesn't really apply to what I'm looking for.
I'll start some research on the ones you pointed out. The Cheoy Lees are definitely good looking boats. The teak decks made me a bit nervous, but I'll watch for those with them removed. Family members are BIG Bristol fans and owners, so my respect for them wars with my desire to be a rebel and sail something different.
Again, thank you for taking the time to post here!

|You've convinced me. To Sears it goes.
|Cool, A regulator is factory set and you should never alter these settings, IMHO I think they should be sealed and tamper proof. When I still had my shop one of the most common repairs I made to compressors was to correct the settings after it was fouled up by the owner trying to get more performance out of the thing. There is a delicate balance between the start up setting and cut off setting and these can be difficult to set properly and down right dangerous for for someone not familiar with them. If the problem is due to a tampered with regulator it may be repairable but only by someone experienced in doing this otherwise the only safe thing to do is to replace the regulator with the proper unit for that model. If you do replace it make sure it is rated for the motor and set at the same pressure as the original was when new.
|cool rockin daddy
|I was just hoping to dial the regulator down so it will shut off before the pop off comes into play. Guess I will take it in if it is not a DYI type fix.
|DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to adjust that regulator!!! You have a major regulator failure either due to a faulty/stuck regulator or wiring error. The pop-off did what it is supposed to and if it had not this could have been a major disaster, a tank explosion can be extremely violent. Before you attempt to run this thing again find out what is wrong and do not attempt to run that thing until you know. If it is new then use the warranty if not then you need to have someone qualified to look at it, make no mistake about it this can be very dangerous and can easily lead to a serious or even fatal accident and I am not exaggerating the dangers here!
|cool rockin daddy
I bought a nice Craftsman vertical air compressor. Scared the you-know-what out of me when I first used it this past weekend. Supposed to shutoff at 180 p.s.i. Well, it kept running until the popoff valve did it's thing. How do I adjust the pressure regualtor (I am assuming it is mis-adjusted and needs some tweaking) to have it shut the compressor off at the desired pressure? Thanks in advance.

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger has described Jack Wilshere as "gutted" after suffering a setback in his recovery from injury.
The Arsenal midfielder had been closing in on a comeback after undergoing surgery at the start of the season.
However Wilshere felt some pain in his ankle this week and was sent to a specialist on Friday. There is no time-scale put on his return but, at his pre-match press conference, the manager cautioned against pessimism.
"It is a massive disappointment and I am really disappointed for him as well because he is a football animal. I am so sad that at that age you have to be out for such a long time without any obvious reason," said the manager.
"If you had told me that Jack would not have played one game by February I would have said that's impossible.
"We miss that little burst from Jack. Let's hope it goes well and we have good news.
"It's impossible [for him] to play at the end of February. Even if we have some good news, I would say that's impossible. From day one, when you are completely fit to practice again, to be match fit you count at least six weeks. [He is] gutted."
However Wenger said there was no reason to suggest Wilshere would not play for Arsenal this season and England at the European Championships.
"Who would want to [write his season off]?" he said. "I don't want to and he doesn't want to. If we have good news and he can move on, why should we do it [write him off]?
"Yes, I feel for him and of course he wants to be in the big tournaments. I believe as well that he wants to play for Arsenal too. He grew up here remember."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|if you have any adjustment on your trottle cabel try to see how tight it is,,
AMC360 V8, bored .030 over, All work done by Engincraft in 2008, (less than 2000 miles on motor.)
Edelbrock Proformer intake
Comp Cam - Intake @ valve 496, Exhaust @ valve 521
Roller Rockers
Holly 670 Truck Advenger, MSD.
Fenderwell headers, 3" flowmaster exhaust.
The Holley is still on it.
I did check the secondaries, and they may have been stuck open just a touch. The linkages were not moving the secondaries at all when the motor was not running. So I reached down in there to see if the were frozen and it did snap shut I think once I put a little pressure on it. This very well could have been the problem the whole time. Hopefully it is. Either way, can someone point me in the right direction to finding an article to read on rebuilding/cleaning that holley?
And CDMinter59, thanks for the timing lecture, but where do those 8* and 34-36* come from. Aren't things a bit specific to each engine? And does anybody have any tips to help me hear any detonation I might have while timing over my loud exhaust? Or for that matter, hearing detonation at all? I can't say that I have ever heard it before. Thanks all. Waiting to hear from ya!
setting the timing
To set the timing you have to get the #1 cylinder on top dead center. #1 is the first cylinder in front of the engine on the driver side. Remove the spark plug from #1 cylinder. You will need a helper. Have the helper bump the engine over (while you have a finger against the spark plug hole). When you feel air pushing on your finger stop. Find the timing marker on the front of the timing chain cover. Clean the scale off so you can read it. You can mark the line on the balancer whiteout or chalk. Turn the balancer nut with a socket and breaker bar until line is on (0) on the scale. Ok now pop the cap to see which cylinder the rotor is pointing at on the cap. Trace the spark plug wire from the tower on the cap the rotor is pointing at to the spark plug end. Should be #1. Now is when you need a Timing Light with an advance dial. Summit Racing SUM-G1059 - Summit Racing® Timing Lights - Overview - SummitRacing.com. Disconnect the vacuum hose from distributor and plug the end of hose. Start the engine point timing light with advance knob on 0 at the scale. Turn distributor counterclockwise to advance timing to 8*. Lock down the distributor by tighten clamp until it will not turn. This is initial timing. Now to check mechanical advance. Set the knob to 36* on back of timing light. With the engine running have the helper rev the engine to about 3000 rpm while you are watching the scale. The line will align to 0 if the mech advance is set right. This is total advance .If not write down the number that it's pointing to. Now turn dial on the timing gun until the balancer lines up to 0. If its on 34 it's ok. Now what this means is you have 8* initial and 26* mechanical advance. If less than 34* total you have advance the initial some more until your total is 34-36*. Reconnect the vacuum hose to the distributor. Finished!
As far as carb, I can't recall, but I will check on it tomorrow after work.
Thanks again. I'll keep this updated until I can figure it out.
I would say it now has about 2500 off the top of my head.
Distributor Model number is 8519.
Weights seemed fine, but I will double check them
Cap and rotor will be getting replaced due to white scale
And as far as timing goes, I have never done it before but want to. I am just overwhelmed as to where to start. One concern that I have is not being able to hear any pinging when setting the initial(or total timing, I forget where that pinging comes in) because my exhaust is so loud. Anyone have any suggestions to hearing it with a loud exhaust? And any links to any really good write ups for a novice?
Do any of these symptoms sound like it could be bad dist/cam gears?
Thanks for the input.
|First thing I suspect is the mechanical timing advance is sticking open. Don't matter what springs or weights are in it either. After a while if they get gummed up, and they all do, they will stick open and cause all kinds of headaches. What carb are you using? Because of how it's acting I don't think you have a vacuum leak, but it is something to check. If the carb is a 4 barrel the secondaries could be slightly sticking open which also happens at times as well. I used to have a Demon carb that had a bad habit of the secondaries sticking slightly open and I had to sand the burrs out of the base plate to stop it. See if you can get it to idle high again then check the secondary linkage to see if it's open any.
Idle speed changes
The first question I have for you is did you buy this JEEP with the motor already in it? Look on the base of the MSD distributor and find the Model #. Should be MSD 8516. Next pull the cap and remove the two screws for the rotor removal. Check the weights for rust and corrosion. Clean and put some dielectric grease on them, springs too. See weights: MSD Ignition 8628 - MSD Distributor Replacement Parts - Overview - SummitRacing.com. Check magnetic pickup for rust and corrosion, clean if necessary. If cap and rotor any white scale on posts replace with MSD Ignition 8014 - MSD Extra Duty Distributor Caps - Overview - SummitRacing.com MSD Ignition 8467 - MSD Distributor Rotors - Overview - SummitRacing.com Tighten the distributor hold down bolt until you can not turn the distributor. If you don't have a timing light borrow one to set the timing not by sound.
|41 kustom
Is your throttle sticking?
Sounds to me like the distributor weights are hanging up.
You got a light set of advance springs in it?
Idle speed changes
Well, I don't own any show cars or hot rods, but I consider my 79 Jeep CJ5 with a healthy AMC 360 to be my hot rod, and I am hoping to find some help here with my idle issues. So....we use this Jeep as a nice day cruiser and an offroad vehicle. The problem is when the jeep is ran moderately hard, the engine will not "idle down" or return to idle. The first time this happened, we were out driving over the sand dunes here in Michigan, running pretty hard in two wheel drive. We didn't quite get up and over the top of the dune, so I pressed the clutch in and found reverse to make our way back down. Once down to the bottom, the motor only idled down to @ 1500 rpm instead of the previous 900-1000 rpm. I took notice and made the hill again, and the issue somehow resolved itself. The next time this happened, it was the exact same situation, but on a different hill. And instead of the 1500, it only came back down to 2000 rpm. On this second occurence it was on the last of the dunes and we headed back to camp, and there was no change in idle speed. After a few hours of sitting at camp, fired it up and no change. A few more hours gone by, still no change.
So, at this point we decide to play with the timing a bit, and got it to idle down, but before we changed the timing, it was very easy to turn the distributor without loosening the hold down clamp, but the bolt was still tight.
Once home, I played with the timing again, got it where I thought I wanted it. TIGHTENED the bolt, free revved the engine, idled down to 1500. So, thinking we could have somehow bent the hold down, tried to bend it back and reset the timing. All seemed well. Next day went to a local cruise in town and things were good for say 45 min of running, then idle jumps up to 1200. Again reset idle timing, and all seemed well. Drive it nice and easy for a few days, then today during a moderate acceleration, idle jumps back to @1500 rpm.
So where do I go from here? It is an MSD dist.
My thoughts are:
While I am playing around with it all, I noticed some white powdery corrosion on the rotor and pickups under the cap, so get new rotor/cap.
- Try a new hold down clamp?
- Possible worn dist gear?
- shim between the hold down clamp and dist base?
I did not build this motor, and I am only beginning my quest here on motors, so any helpful thoughts/advice/suggestions, I will be grateful. Thanks for your time.

Zach Wahls was a 19-year-old college kid last year when he addressed the Iowa House Judiciary Committee on that state's proposal to ban same-sex marriage.
His impassioned speech which included a description of his positive life experiences as a straight man born to two lesbians through artificial insemination made him an overnight YouTube sensation as well as a heralded activist in the LGBT community.
Wahls' words weren't enough to persuade his home state to veto a ban on gay marriage. But a year later, the man has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, "Good Morning America" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," among other media outlets, to speak in favor of civil unions. He has penned a book, My Two Moms, which describes his fairly ordinary life growing up with his sister in a home headed by two mothers. An Eagle Scout, Wahls was among the most vocal detractors of the Boy Scouts of America's decision this summer to continue a ban on gay scout leaders and participants.
And he appeared at the Democratic National Convention earlier this month, where he thanked President Barack Obama for supporting gay marriage.
So it was a bit serendipitous that Wahls, with his packed scheduled, was spotted at a political rally by a Utahn who noticed the activist was wearing a mountain biking hat with a Moab logo.
It turns out one of the country's most visible LGBT activists is a fan of Moab's outdoors scene and one reason Wahls was more than happy to sign on as a guest speaker at the second annual Moab Pride Festival. The event is expected to double in attendance from its inaugural year in 2011, organizers say, and Wahls is featured on a list of several lecturers and entertainers.
"I'm participating in Moab Pride for two reasons. First, I've been to Moab before, it's one of the most beautiful parts of the country and has an amazing community to celebrate. Second, I think it's really important to be a part of reminding folks in places where we still have a long ways to go on LGBTQ rights of the possibility that lies before us," said Wahls.
"I'll be talking about the importance of both coming together as a community to live, work and celebrate, and of recognizing our individual rights of self-determination and self-governance. Above all, though, it's a message that the power of love is greater than the power of fear."
Amy Stocks, the festival's co-organizer, said the event is gaining popularity. Stocks said about 300 people attended last year's Moab festival, and this year as many as 1,000 are expected.
"Last year's event was really successful being a first-year event. It's just kind of getting its footing," said Stocks. "A lot more people will be coming this year."
Besides Wahls, Utah native Justin Utley, now a singer who lives in New York, will travel to Moab to perform at the festival. DJ Jen Woolfe, of San Francisco, is also on the lineup.
Stocks said Salt Lake City's pride festival is proof that Utah communities can sustain successful celebrations for the LGBT communities. Last year, more straight people attended Moab's festival than those who identify as LGBT, she said.
"I think we're hoping to really create a community event. We're calling it Moab Pride, not gay pride. It's a way for the community to celebrate diversity; it has a family-oriented feel," she said. "Moab believes in embracing diversity."
Utley said he is pleased to be performing at Moab's festival and sees it as a sign that the discussion about gay rights is expanding.
"It's a sign of progress and that the dialogue of equality and other LGBT issues is growing outside of major cities," Utley said.
Wahls noted his trip to Utah is one of dozens of speaking engagements he'll squeeze in before Election Day connected to the nationwide discussion of gay rights. He has put his engineering studies at the University of Iowa on hold as his activism continues to gain steam.
"It was one of the few free weekends I have this fall (I'll be home for 48 hours between now and Election Day) so the timing literally could not have been better," said Wahls.

SEATTLE (AP) -- Eric Thames had already struck out three straight times when he came to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning to face baseball's most dominant closer.
The Seattle Mariners were all even with the Tampa Bay Rays after Justin Smoak's sacrifice fly off of Fernando Rodney, who came into the game with a 0.82 ERA and the AL lead in saves. Chone Figgins stood on third, and Thames fell into an 0-2 hole.
Thames took a pitch and then focused on low and away. He was able to flip Rodney's next changeup into short right field to score Figgins, giving the Mariners a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday night that snapped the Rays' seven-game winning streak.
''Casper (Wells) said to me in the seventh inning, 'Hey, in the ninth, you'll be the hero, don't worry about it,''' Thames said. ''It's crazy how this game works.''
Kyle Seager started the winning rally with a single to right field off Rodney, and pinch-hitter Figgins pushed a bunt that first baseman Carlos Pena fielded. Pena glanced at second, pivoted, double-clutched, and then threw wide of first base.
Seager sprinted to third, and Figgins advanced to second. Smoak's deep fly to center field scored Seager to tie the game, and gave Rodney (2-2) his first blown save since May 26 - ending the closer's run of 22 consecutive saves.
''(Carlos) makes that play 100 out of 100 times,'' Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. ''That was the 101st time, I guess, right there.''
Thames' hit into short right field scored Figgins and made a winner of Stephen Pryor (2-0), who worked 1 2-3 innings.
Smoak's contribution to the end of Rodney's streak was as surprising as Pena's error. He found out he was coming back to the majors on Monday when was replaced by a pinch-hitter while playing minor league-ball in Memphis. He flew to Seattle on Tuesday morning and doubled on the first pitch he saw.
Smoak also walked, and both outs he made were on deep fly balls. He was hitting just .189 this year coming into the game.
''I knew something was going to happen tonight where it was going to come up to me at some point in the game,'' Smoak said. ''It's good to come through like that.''
Tampa Bay's Matt Moore allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. He struck out nine and walked one. The Rays' staff has the best ERA in the majors since the All-Star break.
Kevin Millwood gave up two runs and eight hits in seven innings for Seattle. He struck out a season-high eight.
Four pitches into the game, Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead. Desmond Jennings singled and B.J. Upton followed with a broken-bat fly ball to left that became a triple when Trayvon Robinson dove but failed to make the catch.
Jennings scored, and Upton had his second triple of the season. Evan Longoria's sacrifice fly to right scored Upton.
Miguel Olivo followed with a double that drove in Smoak and pulled the Mariners within 2-1 in the second inning.
Moore and Millwood controlled things from there.
Jeff Keppinger doubled to left, and Pena walked with two out in the Rays' fourth. Millwood then fell behind Ryan Roberts 3-0 before coming back to strike him out and end the threat.
Millwood wriggled out of trouble again in the fifth when Jennings and Upton hit consecutive singles. Millwood struck out Matt Joyce and Longoria to end the inning. He struck out Keppinger and Pena in the sixth, setting a season-high with eight strikeouts. Joyce struck out three times.
The Rays pressured Millwood more in the seventh when Roberts and Jose Molina began the inning with singles. Jennings, already 3-for-3, bounced a high grounder toward third base to Seager, who started a double play. Millwood then retired Upton.
NOTES: The Mariners placed 1B Mike Carp on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left groin. ... The Rays have the lowest team ERA, bullpen ERA and opponents' batting average since the All-Star break. ... Tampa Bay also leads the majors in strikeouts (284) since the break. ... The Mariners promoted this year's top draft pick, Mike Zunino, from rookie-level Everett to Double-A Jackson. ... Seager has a hit in eight consecutive home games.

'The next biggest need for Buffalo is a legitimately dangerous power-play quarterback on defense. Since Brian Campbell left, the Sabres have lacked a player with the ability to settle their power play and command respect with his shot. The Sabres have a few intriguing prospects in the system in Marc-Andre Gragnani and TJ Brennan who could fill that need, but they have yet to show that they can be dominant. The draft this year is stacked with big, smooth-skating defensemen, however, outside of the top four rated blueliners no one stands out as a dominant power-play quarterback.'

Arsenal are 4/11 to beat Southampton at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and the GunnersGaming Football Predictor says they have a 51 per cent chance of doing just that.
The Gunners are the only side in the Premier League yet to concede a goal this season and beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield last time out.
The Predictor reveals that they have found the net in 17 of their last 20 home games, going on to win 12 and lose just two. Southampton have scored in 17 of their last 20 matches on the road.
Arsenal have scored an average of 2.8 goals in that period - compared with 2.7 by the Saints - and over 2.5 goals in this encounter has been priced up at 1/2.
The Predictor also throws up some interesting stats in the correct score markets.
It suggests that Arsenal have a 28 per cent chance of scoring one with the probability of two slightly shorter at 27 per cent, and one goal looks the most likely outcome for the visitors at 38 per cent.
A 2-0 or 2-1 victory for Arsène Wenger's men can be backed at 14/3 and 8/1 respectively with GunnersGaming.
The Predictor suggests there is a 33 per cent chance the first goal will come from a forward, with a further 27 per cent chance a midfielder will score first.
Lukas Podolski is the 7/2 favourite with GunnersGaming to score first, while midfielder Santi Cazorla can be backed at 11/2.

Seeing as I have been gone a long time, and my personality has changed quite significantly I figured I might as well do some "Minor" design changes to my armour
Instead of white and red like my previous colour scheme was planned to be, I'm going green, to symbolize duty (It is my duty to get this done, too all of you) I'm making most armour plates out of aluminum, and like my previous armour, it lacks the shin plates and thigh armour, and right shoulder Pauldron, Gauntlets will also be less decorated, with a left gauntlet as a mount for my Cellphone (tactical device, got google maps, got texting, got calling. Helmet will be standard Mandalorian helmet, to replace the Right shoulder pauldron I will have a cloth strap sewn on to the flight suit, with a holder for a spare magazine, I'm thinking on the right Gauntlet, I might make some sort of extra armour plating (Small shield for CQB that won't interfere with holding a rifle, that or a few loose rounds, now for the most Dramatic change, instead of having a Solid back armour piece, I'm breaking it into sections to further increase flexibility, for protective reasons, the Codpiece will be made of thicker plastic, Or Aluminum to fit with the rest of the design, but a more thicker aluminum. I'm also omitting the Centre medallion (Don't like the look of it now, for some strange reason) Flight suit will be black, and Flak jacket might, be double thickness, I'll scan and upload my concept sketches when I find the power cord for my scanner and printer. I'm back, and I'm more serious than ever.

Thank you, Skupilkinson. Sorry for the name error in the last post. It was 2 am for me.
Thank you for this tutorial, very well done, it will help me a lot!
Muito obrigado por este tutorial, muito bem feito, vai me ajudar muito!!!
Amazing, you are a master with cardboard!
This is an amazing tutorial. Thanks to all who have contributed. I have a basic cardboard (using WOF Templates) helmet together and am wondering about using drywall putty rather than bondo. Do you believe it will work as well?
Try it on a piece of scrap cardboard first. See if it doesn't get too brittle after it dries. The stuff I use has a very fine structure and becomes like cement. Sanding it results in a very smooth surface with little or no holes.
Thank you all for checking my thread and keeping the faith. I HAVE been working a bit on the helmet every now and then, so I will post some progress soon!
"With great power comes great responsibility"
AHHHH!!!! How'd I miss this?!?!? I went through almost three month of trouble with my scratchbuilt bucket, and almost all the problems I had are answered here!!!
Way to go Antman!!! This is an awesome thread and totally should be stickied!!!
Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the finished work!
you sir are amazing...I've been watching this site for awhile and resently messed around with Alan's templates a bit. This is really making me want to pick it back up and finish.
Can one make the rest of the armour and stuff of the same material?
Phenominal helmet! It looks so sturdy. I would never have guessed that it all was cardboard. I especially like your work on the dome. Bravo!
Antman when this is a finished bucket, you need to edit all the pics into the first post and get this bad boy stickied, this is GR8, I really love the RF stalk. Maybe you can sell these as kits. I'd LOVE to purchase your ears... The cardboard ones :lol
Im building a cardboard helmet for an art model im doing of fett. This will help loads.
I have been working on my build now for a god bit. It's taught me quite a bit about patience! I am working on my second cheek structure (molding and shaping) Anyway - I tried the drywall putty... i know! i know! I just used a very tiny bit to fill in my gaps. Its going to be fine. I will begin with bondo in a bit. i have reservations about it though. Cardboard and bondo... Bondo is so thick and sticky... I just hope its not too heavy and cumbersome for my little baby. PS This helmet fits me great.
Here is another one with the recent cutouts and you can see the bit of drywall spackle - i plan on sanding as much off as possible - I will get brave and use the bondo.
The cheeks are just sitting there getting the feel for their new home.:cheers
Its funny - the pictures don't do it justice... i will continue working and post more pics soon. Thanks for all the assistance WOF and Antman - you compliment each other nicely.:thumbsup
overall what size is it? Height X Width. Because im not sure if i need to change anysizes on the printouts. You say it fits you but im not sure about my life-size model of fett.
I have a big head (I am 6'4" )and it fits perfectly. I used WOF templates. Look at the pdf of the templates. One of the sheets has a footprint of the helmet - I would print it out to the scale you like - I just did mine a standard print and its perfect. I can't imagine the helmet being too small for your needs.:skull
I will say that I did go back and use Bondo on the helmet and it is much easier to use than I remember. I have alot of sanding to do - when it is done I will post it - somewhere on this site.
looks great for a cardboard mold
When I printed the templates out, they looked to be too big. Has any one had to reduce the size yet when they printed and how much did they reduce them?
thanks for the advice saludaranger.
Best of luck on compleeting this.
That is that coolest thing EVER!!!! :thumbup
Antman, what kind of cardboard did you use?
Awesome walkthrough, I've been riveted to this thread for progress, I'm so keen to make my own now! However, I wanted to go either fibreglass or or perhaps even plastic (if so, I'd be using vac forming) and the helmet mould coming from this cardboard helm. Not sure what the best approach is when changing a cardboard helm into a mould is though, I suppose it would have to be solid and filled in or something. Has anyone else here done it? It seems to me to be the best way of using WOF's great templates to make a plastic/fibreglass helm.
You can make a mold of anything as long as you can remove it from the casting. It's all about the release agent being good enough. Yes, fiberglass and plastic would be better, but you can make a mold of a cardboard model from a silicone rubber like Smooth-on.

Sheesh; grab a CJ-2a and drive it. Fix it up as time allows; and drive it.
It does all these things; it has a flathead, it will do 55 if you change the gears in the axle, and still have plenty of low speed torque.
If you want to put a rat rod body on the frame...fine; but you could also turn the jeep into a pick up body pretty easy and other have made them rat "rodderish." To me flat fenders are sacred; adding less gear or say a 4cyl/5spd is cool and all but Id leave it alone...and drive the snot out of it.
You can get them in need of help for under a grand.
We've had one at our cabin since 1968. It was a side by side utility vehicle WAY before this new stuff AND its street legal.
Only concessions I'd make, aside from lowering the axle ratio slightly is look at converting the hubs to run a more conventional rim/tire package (it used to be hard to find a tire to fit those rims, and the military tires can be scary at high speeds, although they will go through any mud you can find), convert to 12v and put a small winch and trailer hitch on the vehicle.
Hey if it worked in the slop of WW2; it'll be fine for anything you and your dog get into.
Ours (47 CJ 2A) was converted for the Ford(?) bolt pattern at one time I believe, but now its back to stock wheels and military tires; has a 12V conversion, a "winch" made from a Model A transmission and a BIG handcrank and an angle iron front bumper with a hitch ball on it (we used it to push trailers around) Its ugly but it works and all us kids learned to drive it. We love it more than my Uncles Polaris RZR side by side.
|An old yj or cj spring over axle and 33-35 call it a day or an old Cherokee they can be had stupid cheap also
Still kicking this idea around.
But I've gotten a few sources of inspiration.
One is this little truck I found on that other forum.
I like the idea of parallel front leafs with the axle over the leafs. It solves a lot of problems for me - locates the axle while also providing the suspension, and it is compact in that it stays in line with the frame rails. The axle I'm currently planning on using (Cherokee) is front steer, and the arches would protect the tie rod and provide a place for a basic bumper (to meet requirements for getting it inspected as a home built)
I think if you z'd the frame to raise the rails high enough to clear a live axle, it wouldn't look all that bad. The grill would hide the pumpkin if you pushed it a bit forward. I'd probably build the whole thing a little higher, but I really don't need huge ground clearance - traction and weight distribution are my biggest issues.
I also found this article Steve Pierce Builds an All-Weather Deuce - Street Rodder Magazine about a guy building an all weather hot rod.
Inspired by the way he packaged everything inside the frame.
although I don't think a divorced transfer case would be necessary.
Might necessitate going with a four cylinder to clear the front driveshaft while keeping the crank centerline in line with the rest of the drivetrain within the frame rails, but a small six would be a bit shorter if it would clear. The guy in the article offset the engine to the right, which is also a possibility, but one I'm not sure I'd want to make (although it would probably help balance the vehicle when it was just me driving).
|Thanks for all the advice, Sam!
I do not see a downside on the IFS other than the "look" for your intentions..The S-10 Blazer or similar would be a good starting point for what you contemplate..I use the following recipe for building a "brush buggy"
I strip the body off saving all the wiring and such by unplugging it..Move the engine back so the front pulley is 10/12 inches behind the centerline of the front axle..this requires relocating the motor mounts and cross member to suit..Trim the rear frame rails off just past the rear spring mounts and weld in a crossmember there..
Cut the cowl firewall and floor pan out of your body and remount that in the rearward location..then it is a matter of extending the steering shaft to meet up with the steering box in the stock location..
Optional is to replace the stock frame rails with box tubing as it looks nicer and makes the job more finished. Putting a roll cage on allows for having a windshield and Allows a bikini top which is nice in the rain and also shade in the hot sun..Mount some kind of PU box for carrying stuff..the spare tire mounts up on the rear of the roll cage..Gas tank is in the bed to be up and away from damage..
Remove the sway bars to allow the suspension to "work"..
Careful as this can be addictive and joining in on some 4wd drive runs can be just "too much fun"
Thanks for the info on weight. I suspected as much, but it's good to get confirmation.
The Samurai/Tracker are unitized bodies, right? Would seem making major changes (like pushing the engine back) would be pretty difficult in one of those. Could presumably build a frame and mount the components - they're plentiful in the local yard.
I wish the Cherokee was a full-frame. I like the size and straight-axle simplicity (and the inline 6). The FS Blazer would probably work, but they're a bit on the larger side and harder to find locally.
What about the Ranger/Explorer chassis? From what I've read, they're about the same, the Explorer being a bit wider in the mid section. A lot of guys seem to use them under early vehicles, so it would fit my body plans.
There's also the S-series blazer/pickup.
I like the idea of a more compact starting point, both for lower weight and for better mileage on the way down and back to the property. Rangers could even be had with a 4 cylinder and 4wd IIRC. Not a big fan of small powerplants, but the gas mileage and compact packaging are appealing. I'm not going to be rock crawling or tearing up hills at breakneck speed. Just want to steadily climb a slippery slope.
What's your opinion on IFS vs a live axle up front? The straight axle appeals to me because it's simpler and presumably more durable. But most OEMs (aside from the Cherokee) use IFS on their 4x4s. It would be a lot easier to get ahold of a IFS 4x4 frame than the straight axle if there's no real downside (other than the looks with a "traditional" body style).
Yup geo tracker and samurai are good options as is the wrangler..but not nearly as much fun as something one built himself..if I were closer I would like to get involved with that kind of project as those are cheap to do and way too much fun..
Yep. Weight is the killer. The wrangler or samurai is a good suggestion.
Samurai Is a lot lighter then the jeep too, and the mileage is better.
We have a Gas well guy here in Pa that bought the suzuki samurai from a guy, used, because it was the same price as a 4 wheeler. Plus it has heat and a roof if it rains.
4 wheelers are popular but dont offer protection from rain,and sun, and snakes and briars and and and and and.
Geo traker is about the same as samurai, just a tad heavier.Street legal, 4X4 and fuel efficient.
In the mud a set of 35's with a good paddle pattern like Super swampers will make a big difference..Getting rid of the body work on your Sierra and moving the engine back will make a huge difference not that I would do that to the good truck..You can find some of the short wheelbase 4wd drive trucks around for a small amount of cash and as long as it runs good and drives this job can be accomplished of for not a lot of outlay..Kinda like what CBoy did on the "Rat on a shoestring project" only on a stock 4wd chassis..
Weight is the enemy off the road and we often see some big truck stuck beyond belief while some guy in a wrangler or Samuri drive right on by..
Thanks for the advice.
Hadn't considered moving the engine back in the frame - that's a lot easier than leaving the engine where it is and extending the frame out.
Is there a real benefit to large diameter tires? I know I'd get a better contact patch, all other things equal, but it also seems (again, all other things equal) that I'd loose a lot of torque. Although it looks like, if you want wider tires (which I think would help a lot), then you have to go with larger diameter tires.
Of course, the extra clearance is likely a plus too with the larger tires.
I don't have a bunch of experience with this kind of terrain. The area doesn't drain all that badly, but the soil is mostly clay and gets slick in spots. Although I've cleared a lot of trees, it's still pretty shaded and doesn't dry out quickly either. I guess I'm looking for traction without sinking in or sliding off. Would be a bonus if we could visit the property during the winter.
I tried to take our Sierra uphill (going forwards). Once I lost traction up front, the nose started to drift sideways. I'm guessing this is because the engine is above the axle and up in front and it basically wanted to swing itself around so the heavy end was pointed down. I think getting the engine lower and behind the wheels would mitigate this, at least to a degree - might even help transfer the weight to the back wheels to help traction back there, which is awful on the Sierra. Considered trying to go up backwards, but after we kissed the tree and dented the truck (while pulling it off the side of the driveway with the tractor), my wife decided she really didn't want to go anywhere that badly that night.
You have some options here...One is a used Jeep Wrangler which I found with mine and some 31' tires would get me anywhere I needed to go..The other option is to look for a older Chev blazer with the solid front axle..Pull the body off and move the engine back to behind the front axle to get some better weight dist and build a rat rod type body on that chassis..If you do that you will lose a lot of weight and be able to run some 33's or 35's which will work better for you and still be able to do what you require..In any case start with a chassis that came from the factory as a 4wd,,
Once you pull the body off of a factory 4wd the chassis rises quite a bit with all that weight off and the stance looks pretty good and you can fit some good size tires to it and you will not need to spend a great deal of cash on lift kits and such..
Mud truck
This'll be a little long-winded, but you'll see where I'm coming from...
We live in Cleveland OH and have property in rural WV, about 4-5 hrs away. The place is basically a valley, with several pretty steep hills to get down into it.
Have an 00 Sierra, extended cab 4x4 pickup. She works great most of the time, and it's a comfortable vehicle to travel in. Problem is, it's a heavy vehicle and, when it rains, we can't get off the property because the tires fill up with mud and we slide right off the driveway. Have a nice new dent in the front fender/door from last week's visit.
The neighbors all have those little quad 4x4 ATV things. They seem to go just about anywhere, but only carry one or two people and aren't street legal (although they are routinely driven on the county roads).
We'll probably end up getting a few ATVs (which are surprisingly expensive, even used). My observation is that they work so well because they have wide and knobby tires, and they're light weight so don't sink into the mud. They barely disturb the ground where our truck puts in ruts everywhere it goes when the ground isn't hard.
We put our camper down on the property last week, so we no longer need to haul a bunch of stuff down when we visit. Been thinking about building something that would be capable of getting us into and out of the property, while being street legal enough to drive down on the state routes (never faster than 55mph). All we need to do is haul the wife and I and the dog, maybe a lightweight trailer for a cooler.
I have a pull-a-part down the street. Prices are pretty decent. Been thinking about building something.
Thought about starting off with a Ranger chassis. Then get a drivetrain out of a compact pickup or Cherokee. There were some rangers with a 5 speed and 4x4 and that'd be ideal. Figure I'd use the existing drivetrain and the back half of the frame. Then fab front rails and use the front axle off a Cherokee, which is basically a straight axle with ball joint ends. Ugly, but not as much as IFS. Mount that up with a transverse leaf much like a rod, ahead of the engine so I could get the engine as low as possible. I don't need a lot of ground clearance - probably get more than enough with some conservatively-sized mud/snow tires. Would like to get the drivetrain as low as practical - about axle height - to keep the center of gravity down to make it stable.
Then I'd build a fiberglass body, something along the lines of a tudor, but probably just a similar shape and not any sort of reproduction. Just need space for two seats and a shelf for the dog.
I found this pic on the HAMB:
Something with that sort of stance would easily clear the 4x4 drivetrain if you pushed the front axle forward. I'd have to add some sort of fenders.
Surely wouldn't be a traditional rod of any sort, but I'd like to kind of capture an old school type look, and that sort of vehicle is inherently light weight with a minimal body and a suspension that was made for rough roads.
Just throwing this out for thoughts/comments. I'm a little new to the offroad type vehicle thing and maybe this won't work as well as I think it will..
I know this is a little off-the-wall.

Nobody messed with one of these?
CTR : ++ Magpul Industries ++
I am looking to put a Magpul CTR on my AR. Any thoughts from the group? Thanks
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
I picked one up about 6 months ago in the tan color for a 9mm AR I'm working on. It;s a good stock I little pricey but seems to be worth it. Mine is on a mil-spec buffer tube. What questions do you have about them ?
the magpull CTR is one of the things on my want to buy list. due to it being sort of pricey it gets put back on the back burner by bolt carrier groups, barrels ,uppers,lowers,ammo, and other ar/ak-stuff.
the few of them that i have seen look and feel pretty good. i also like the ACE with the built in battering ram/hammer although they are expensive too.
I bought a CTR about a month ago. Had it to the range 4 times now and I am very happy with the way it works. Money well spent for me.
Thanks for the input. I was curious about the response from a forum with people who are interested in actually helping. I got one this week and after two trips to the range, I like it. Thanks again.
never picked up one i wasn't real crazy about it
but instead i got the new ubr instead and put it on my 9mm ar
buying up all the guns and ammo i can just to PISS OFF the douche bag liberals
buy it buy it buy it, I have them of two of my three ARs
I upgraded the MOE stock on my DDM4 to a CTR.
Imo it's one of the best all around teli stocks you can put on a weapon.
Lock up is tight, rattle and movement are minimal, and it's pretty light.
I put the Magpul enhanced butpad on mine and felt recoil is almost non-existant.
Well worth the coin, and they look alot better than the old CAR stocks.

Wedding photography in Pittsburgh, is always a little bit risky. Especially in March and April. One day you can have rain, the next day sun. The following day snow. Its a beautiful time of year for weddings, but it does carry a bit of risk.
I was sitting at home editing. I was pushing hard because I had to meet up with David Burke to drop off a light stand that I had borrowed. Right as I was preparing to leave, the phone rings and he asks if I want to shoot with him. It just so happens that we had just been talking about shooting as much as possible, while staying focused on a story. This is harder than it sounds. Your wedding day is a fantastic story. Its about families coming together, often meeting for the first time, its about friends becoming husband and wife, dancing, and commitment. With that in mind, how could I say no?
Often times, wedding photography is lots of beautiful portraits, photos of details, and a few moments filled in with snapshots. When you focus on telling a story, you have to find ways of showing the moments, capturing the laughter and tears, while still including the guests. Its harder than it sounds. As a storyteller, I have to be better than snap shots. At the end of the day, a wedding should be able to be told through 50-100 images, and nothing should be left out.
Each day I shoot, its pushing closer to that. Editing becomes harder, as I hold myself to higher standards, and as a documentary wedding photographer, I have to work as hard as possible, because at the end of the day, the portraits are nice, but the story is your true legacy.
Congratulations David and Stacey.
David, thanks for having me along brother.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I had alot of similar problems as you.. I have almost completely flat feet...next to no arch whatsoever, and when I put my weight down on my feet, the probably widen by about 30%...i imagine this is from years and years of wearing skate shoes, sanuks and flip flops. I had Burton Ozone's, Salomon Factions, Vans Revere and all of them hurt..I tried 4 different brands of insoles ranging in price from 20-80$ and they did very little to help. In fact, they tended to cause MORE pain because of my low arches.
I kept hearing great things about Rome boots and went and tried on a pair of Libertines. I found that they had a consistent width throughout, and TONS of padding and cushion inside. My back foot cramps up occasionally on my first run of the day with them , but other than that, they are the most comfortable boots I've ever put on. I have also decided to steer clear of Boa and Speed Zone lacing type systems..with regular laces, I simply CAN'T overtighten the outside of the boot, yet i can still control where i tighten certain areas. I would really recommend giving them a try if you havent already. They changed everything for me and have really made my riding much more pleasant.
Too bad going to the east coast is not an option...
as Jeff Rich @ U.S. Orthotic Center, Jeffrey Rich, Pedorthist in NYC made a orthotic for my DC Judge Boa Focus a few years ago. He's one of the Gurus behind America's Best Bootfitter program (Shintronic)
I have a mid-high arch that collapses a bit...
he evaluated my boots and found them acceptable.... took a mold of my feet and made me custom orthotics.
Keep in mind, with new boots, the liners do "pack out", that also affects the fit later on.
Maybe try:
Custom Boot Fitting | SkiNet Sports in LA. though it looks like he starts out with something like an instaprint (designed by Jeff Rich).... and possibly makes additional modifications...
I've had instaprints from a local shop that were horrible, as well....
imo, the best bootfitters should also be a pedorthist... but they are far and few, and can charge a premium.
|What type of stance has the least amount of pressure on outside of feet and offers good control for all mountain freestyle?
It might actually be partly your bindings. When I used my burton freestyles, the ankle strap caused some pain on the inner/top part of my foot. With my rome 390 bosses, that pain is gone.
Maybe try changing up your stance/binding angles? From what I've read around here, having your feet in unnatural positions may cause some problems too.
Checking in...
I'm still having the same problem.
Right now I am trying out some Van's sized 11 that was lent to me by a camp I'm at in Whistler. It's new.
It's very snug. My foot fits. It seems like it's a half size smaller than my 12 32 focus.
I'm still getting some cramps on my lead food only. In fact, by end of day it was numbness instead of cramps. Not sure why this is happening.
I'm not sure what else to try. Next day up I'll maybe try riding the boots really loose but if my feet still go numb not sure what to do. I've got Flow NX2 GT bindings now as well to try something different than the Cartels.
Another thing I noticed is that if I go toeside, the front of my foot (toes) push down for balance and maybe this is contributing to the cramping a bit. I can't move my toes/feet at all in terms of wiggle room, at least not more than a mm maybe. The vans are quite snug. I've tried the 32's both very tight and loose and I usually end up with same issues.
I am trying to think of maybe figuring out if it makes sense to have my surefoot custom sole made with a ramp towards the front of my toes to push them up higher? Anyone ever hear of that?
And by snug you mean around the entire forefoot? What do you measure for foot width?
From the sound of things you may be better off trying a Prime 12 and comparing it to the focus. Your toes should touch when standing and pull off when you really flex it.
|The 12's feel good around my foot. Very snug but toes have some wiggle room and it feels like the front two touch but they're not packed in. The 11.5's feel insanely snug, they are definitely uncomfortable. Toes can't wiggle up down much, all toes are basically at the tip and it is a feeling of numbness in middle toe.
How does the 32 feel around your foot? They are typically a wide boot. So, if it's not snug around your foot it's a recipe for disaster.
This is exactly what happened to me. I needed a smaller boot and focused so much on length I ignored width and volume. I was in intense pain after an hour on the mountain.
After many many boots I've tried on I found that 32's seem to fit me. I've had long issues with cramping which I've posted here. My issue is related to Plantar Fasciitis, Foot Swelling, and needing a wide area/high instep. 32 fits the bill.
I got 32 Focus Boa's on me. And 32 Prime's. I am sized to a foot 12. The Focus Boa's are 12. The Prime's are 11.5.
All the boots I ever wore have been size 12 but all those boots in general have caused me foot cramping. Which I believe to be a combination of the issues I posted above, and slight foot movement, especially on toe side. My feet tense up on toe side trying to counteract the movement in the boot.
Overall the 32 feels more snug than any boot I tried, even the 12. The 11.5 is very snug, almost too snug but my toes aren't curling. They're definitely all packed in the front. I do have a sense of tingling/numbness when walking but if I lean hard into the boot it goes away. On the 12's (Focus) I can wiggle my toes up and down. On the 11.5's (Prime), I can't really wiggle my toes much. There's a good amount of pressure coming downward from the top right before my toes. I'm not sure if this is good or bad. Definitely a sense of numbness / stiffness initially but maybe this is what I need?
If I kick my heel down on my 32 Focus, then wiggle my toes and try to touch the front with my toe I can't feel the end with too much pressure. Maybe it's perfect, maybe it's a few cm off from touching? If I take the liner out and push my foot to the toebox area as hard as possible I can stick 1 1/2 fingers behind my heel.
If I kick my heel down on my 32 Primes, then wiggle my toes... I barley can. And I am definitely touching the front of the boot in a very contact way with at least 3 front toes. It's uncomfortable compared to the Focus's but maybe this is what I need? If I take the liner out of the bood and slam my toes into the front and try to put a finger behind my heel... I can do 1 finger.
My concern is that the Focus's will pack out and I'll have the same issue as the other boots. My concern is also that the Prime's are way too tight and it feels like it's squeezing my foot and will not help with the wideness / swelling issue I have. But perhaps the pack out will make it a perfect fit?
What would you guys do? I'm leaving to Whistler for a few weeks and I can take both with me and return one but I'd feel bad because I already did that with one boot from backcountry.com. Plus packing both may be difficult.
