Someone has inspired you to write for you've the skill. And that someone keeps on supporting you, giving you advices, counsels on technical matters, more importantly in blogging. Finally, you've fully developed a passion on writing. Your worries, fears of being rejected for lack of knowledge or expertise in blogging for you're not sure whether your write-ups would be read or followed up by web readers, were overcome, until you became addicted to writing blog. That excitement led you to write more even quality and readable blogs which eventually gained a better rank by search engine. To sum it all, your success lies on your skill in writing, support from your friend, and your attitude to prioritize things. Congratz! and More power in 2012...

DEAR P @ G ESTUDYANTE Project,
Isa po akong guro at natutuwa na may natutulungan kayong mga mag aaral sa proyektong ito. Ikinagagalak po rin namin na matulungan ang aming paaralan na magkaroon ng laptop ang aming mga mag aaral upang sa gayon ay makakita at makahawak din po sila ng ganitong makabagong teknolohiya na nakikita lang po nila sa poster na itinuturo ng guro, sa kadahilanang hindi namin kayang magkaroon ng ganitong teknolohiya. Dito po kami sa liblib at kabundukang lugar na JULITA, LIBACAO, AKLAN pero nararating naman po ng sasakyan at motorsiklo ang aming paaralan.
Sana po maging hulog kayo ng mahigit 300 daan naming mag aaral ng JULITA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, JULITA, LIBACAO, AKLAN.
SALAMAT................EDGAR N. SOLINA, Teacher

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|And I better not even think about tools into the mix on my car builds! I've been known to go to the local tool store and browse-window shop, just because I was bored. I really love tools, and have to really stop myself from buying some of them that I'll rarely use!
I think the real advantage of these kits is for those who can't find the type of car they want, be it Cobra or '33 Ford, and also want everything engineered by professionals. There's some sound logic to either reason, and I understand the reasoning.
I love the build part of a hotrod, and also the hunt. Finding not only the body to start with, but all the various pieces involved in putting a hotrod together is all part of the fun! I probably would never buy a kit, as it takes so much of the part I love out of my hands. But I would consider a body and frame purchase if I wanted a '33 Ford, and then find everything else to build up my own version. Might not be better, or cheaper, but I know it would be more fun!
Yes, I did miss that. Was just thinking about the Cobra and an earlier post I saw where someone said they built one for $20k.
I like the '33 kit, & wouldn't mind having one myself. Got 2 C3 vettes so no need for a Cobra...but really wouldn't mind a street rod. At $20k for the kit, that means somewhere between $30 & $40k to complete.....maybe when the economy recovers....
|You missed my point about the differences between the '33 kit and the Cobra. The Cobra kits didn't come with a wiring harness, gauges, upholstery, and lots of the stuff that are included in the '33 kit. The '33 kit is $20k all by itself, obviously no one can build the entire car for $20k. Even with the '33 kit, you still need an engine, trans, rear end, driveshaft, wheels/tires, and paint.
Agreed. The cost of the durable tools were not included in my mid-30's estimate. I met the guy at the autofair in Charlotte at the FF booth. We started talking about the cars and I wound up volunteering to help with it. At that point he had the engine sitting in the chassis, but not permanently mounted and a half dozen pieces of sheet metal installed. He ran down a list of what he had in it when I started helping out. At that point he said he had over $20k in it. Then he bought a bunch more stuff: clutch & brake systems, gages, more sheet metal, tanks, reservoirs, driveshaft, heim joints, steering components...a long list. The wheels & tires showed up a few months later (I think they were an upgrade on the kit that were back ordered but included in the previous figure). If you included all the tools he bought he'd be well over 30 now I'm sure.
The body hasn't been touched yet. I'm a 'vette man (owned 4 C3's in the past 35 yrs) and have had my share of fiberglass adventures, but this body is going to take a good bit of work to make it slick. I've seen better seam treatments on the back side of a fiberglass shower stall. If he were taking it to one of the local 'vette-friendly paint shops, I know he'd have 10g in the body & paint. He thinks he's worked out a deal where he can get it painted for around 5, but that's still going to put him into the 30's. I'm trying to not be critical, just reporting what I've seen. We'll see.
But my take is, if you're going to put the time and effort into building an unique car like these, you need to go into it with the expectation of spending a lot more money on it than you might think. Whether you count the tools in as part of the cost of the car or not, you've still got to spend that money to get the project done or pay someone else who has the tools to fill in the gaps.
I suppose you could approach it like the TV restoration shows - buy a body kit, throw it on an 80k mile drive train, get used parts from the boneyard to fill in the gaps, get a Mako paint job and wind up with a $20k ride that looks good from 10' at 10 mph. Ride it until it starts to nickel & dime you to death then sell it for half what you spent on it.
Don't get me wrong. Building a kit is a lot of fun, and the FF's are getting better every year. Just don't go into the project with unrealistic expectations. If 20k is all you have to put into something, put ii into a late model used Mustang or Camero and start having fun. And find somebody who's building one and offer to help...
|Hard to consider the cost of tools in the cost of the kit car. Kind of like adding $3000 to the tune-up of the family sedan because you bought a lift. There is also a difference between the Cobra and the '33 kits. The '33 kits include the wiring harness, gauges, master cylinder, brakes, pedals, door handles, upholstery, lights, steering column, and more. As with anything, you can make any rod project cost a fortune with options and upgrades.
Kit Cars......factory five
Been helping a buddy build a FF Cobra for the past 3 yrs. I'm not sure what he has invested in it and since he's gotten married since the project started I doubt you'd get him to post an answer in a public forum, but I do know it's on the high side of $25k and counting, and the body work is still yet to do. My guess is he's going to be in the mid-30's after paint.
There's a lot more to it than the price of the kit. The doner car (for things like engine, trans, diff, heater, gas tank, brake Mcylinder), misc items like gauges, steering linkages, coolant tanks, belts, hoses, thousands of rivets, cleco's, drill bits, tubing flaring kit (some of the mating fittings have no off-the-shelf adapters), driveshaft (takes a pretty short one -and don't forget the safety loop), electrical wiring components, seat tracks, shoulder belts, fuel lines, battery....and you probably better budget for some sheet aluminum to remake a few of the parts that don't seem to fit just right from the "factory". I have heard they are doing a better job with the kits now than they did then so it might go a little smoother.
Then there's the basic stuff like a welder, drill press, good tap & die set, a super low jack...A good background in metal fab work and auto building/restoration would be helpful as well.
And on the subject of junk yard engines - you can go that route, save a few bucks up front. But what happens when that engine starts smoking, losing water, making funny noises or the tranny starts acting up...a few months or a few miles down the road. He went kinda wild and stuffed a (salvaged) blown 4.6 into his and we've already had to pull it back out twice and there's no way under the sun you get that motor out with the body still on. Not sure if you put in a 302, you may be able to squeeze that one in and out. But the last thing you want to do once the project is "done" is to have to pull it back apart to rebuild an engine or tranny. And have to explain that to your wife, if you have one.
Nothing wrong with getting a doner from the boneyard, but do yourself a big favor and rebuild or have someone who knows what they are doing rebuild the engine, tranny & diff before you bolt them into the car. It could be your cheapest way out and save a lot of headaches down the road.
But it's fun!
FFR kit with options, brokerage and delivery = $38K
Coyote/TKO600/Clutch = $13K
Rear End with Torsen = $2.2K
Tires = $1.5K
Upgraded fuel tank ( FFR supplied is N.G.)/Speedhut gauges/Headers/battery/Power steering/
Upgraded Shocks and Springs/Upgraded mufflers = $5K
The rest is misc small items that really add up, every piece is new.
It is 20K over my original estimate, but In for a penny in for a pound. Note that most of this is performance and safety oriented, the car has very little bling.
What one of the guy's said about cost Ya! you could spend 40 grand and you could spend 120 grand, but it depends what you want to do and how long you want to take.
It took me 3 years to build my Cobra and well worth every minute!!! I searched for parts over the winter and assembled them in the spring...Well! When my garage was warm enough to work in. You can find great deals if you search for them.
About using a use or old motor or suspension!! Why not!! You can change it out later if you want. I finished mine in 2003 and it's still going strong!
Everything for my Cobra is Classic Roadster's Cobra kit from LA,North Dakota, Washington, South Carolina and Canada a true North American sports car.
Oh Ya! My flasher covers are from New Zealand Original Lucus lens's.
Now about the price!! I never totaled up the cost but I know I'm below 20 grand!!! It was evaluated at over 50 grand....so 30 grand maybe profit!
I started with just the frame...that was it. Built it up to a rolling chase and from there to a complete Cobra. I have pictures of the complete build as everyone should do.
I like what one of the guy's said in here. Look for a pre-started kit but make sure that you have the plains that go with it. Thank God for the manual and Don Scott and Ed Combs for any help that I needed.
Do your home work!!! If you find a Cobra kit there are some good site to consider like Welcome to Club Cobra...The world's largest non-biased Cobra site! - Club Cobra if there is a Cobra kit they are all here and these guy's are the pro's to them.
Sorry for the long reply but I hope this will help you out.
Later and be safe.
P.S my next build is a Chevy 1956 Step Side Shot Box this should be fun. Oh and by the way my garage is 15 X 20. Not much room but I built the Cobra in it with room to move. Yes! The body stayed out side until it was needed, just cover it up....it's fiber glass!
wrecking yard engines
That's the way we used to do it. An olds or Caddy wrecking yard engine into a T bucket, A 331 chrysler into a model A. get it running with a mule engine ,everything wired up plumbed Then when you have some more money build an engine and sell to old one. I've got 3 engines ready, a few $ in them and up The projects stalled.
|Factory Five also partners with a technical high school (in Michigan I think) where you team with other classmates and build either a '33 or a Cobra kit. Class is 2 or 3 days and costs around $500. I think it would be a lot of fun, but it would encourage me to buy one (that I can't afford right now)!
|That TV program where they bring in two teams from rod shops to build a pair of either complete stock runners or kit cars etc in 48 hours just did a pair of factory five 33's a few weeks ago. Of course I'm not sayin its the same as us individual folks projects but I did find it interesting, they went together very well and both cars drove and handled great in the showdown testing. I think they allow 6 members on each team. The 48 hours includes everything from unboxing parts to ready for the road test, except the show provides a complete motor and trans for each team.
|The kit costs $20,000 and includes everything you need EXCEPT: engine, trans, rear end, wheels, tires, paint. If you choose to upgrade like lots of stainless, custom-made components, a premium-cost engine (like a Coyote), and a high-end paint job, you can add tens of thousands.
|Very nice........but 70k ????? the other guy said you could build one for 20K

WLF and Beehopper,You guys both have something in common. Doesnt it stay humid in yalls area for the whole summer? I mean, NY and Boston can be 85 to 95 degrees which isnt bad down here where i live, but you figure in the humidity you guys have at those temps, its a Bugger! I havent seen Florida water around here, but I sure have heard you mention it several times before JP!I remember the last thread with Florida water, but I cant remember....Do you drink it, or wear it, or both?your friend,john
Drink more water. Take more breaks. Buy a Golden Bee Products suit and just wear shorts under it.

Kevin Corriea doesn't have particularly good numbers against the Reds. 4.69 ERA, blah peripherals. But in 15 games (10 starts) he is 7-1.
Johnny Cueto has a 2.70 ERA, good peripherals. In 15 starts he is 10-3 against the Bucs.
Drew Stubbs 1 for 8 (a single) with 3Ks. Nowhere to go but up for Drew.

We haven't lost a series in a while, hope they can keep that going.
The way Cueto has been pitching, I like our chances.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
Reds goes 1-2-3. Cozart K, Stubbs F9, Votto F7.
I hate swinging at first pitches. Stubbs is probably the only guy who I don't mind seeing take that approach since he's more likely to strikeout later in the count. But Votto can't be that easy of an out.
Cueto gives up a bloop single to McClouth but no damage done. 0-0 going to the 2nd.
Goos start for Señor Ace
As a side note, I'd like to congratulate myself for betting on Believe You Can in the Kentucky Oaks. Now I have mucho extra betting money for tomorrow.
1-out double for Bruce.
I going to tell you something you will not believe: Jay Bruce will be at the All Star Game while Scott Rolen will not.
Great bunt
Bunt single by Heisey scores Bruce. 1-0 Reds.
Good ole small ball.
Nice AB from Alvarez. He has really improved so far this year.

Avery and Singer: Unstoppable hot air
Last week I attended a talk by Dennis Avery, author with Fred Singer of Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years (there is a summary here). The talk (and tasty lunch) was sponsored by the Heartland Institute, and was apparently enthusiastically received by its audience. Still whoozy from a bit of contention during the question period, a perplexed member of the audience told me privately that he thought a Point/CounterPoint discussion might be useful (he didn't know I wrote for realclimate; it was just a hypothetical thought). But here's my attempt to accommodate.
Note: The Points are paraphrases from the slides and my notes from Avery's talk.
Point. The existence of the medieval warm and the Little Ice Age climate intervals, and the 1500 year D-O cycles in glacial climate, proves that the warming in the past decades is a natural phenomenon, not caused by human industry at all.
CounterPoint. The existence of climate changes in the past is not news to the climate change scientific community; there is a whole chapter about it in the upcoming IPCC Scientific Assessment. Nor do past, natural variations in climate negate the global warming forecast. Most past climate changes, like the glacial interglacial cycle, can be explained based on changes in solar heating and greenhouse gases, but the warming in the last few decades cannot be explained without the impact of human-released greenhouse gases. Avery was very careful to crop his temperature plots at 1985, rather than show the data to 2005.
Point. Hundreds of researchers have published on the Little Ice Age and Medieval warm climates, proving that there is no scientific consensus on global warming.
CounterPoint. Natural and human-induced climate changes both exist. Studying one does not imply disbelief in the other.
Point. Human populations of Europe and India thrived during the medieval warm time, so clearly warming is good for us.
CounterPoint. No one asserts that the present-day warmth is a calamity, although perhaps some residents of Tuvalu or New Orleans might feel differently, and the Mayans may have been less than enthusiastic about the medieval climate. The projected temperature for 2100 under business-as-usual is another matter entirely, warmer than the Earth has been in millions of years.
Point. NASA identified a huge energy hole over the tropical Pacific, which sucked out as much heat as doubling CO2. NASA scientists asked modelers to replicate this, and they failed, by 200-400%, even when they knew the answer in advance!
CounterPoint. This appears to be a reference to Chen et al., 2002. Satellite data from the equatorial Pacific showed an increase in IR heat flux to space of about 5 W/m2 from 1985 to 2005, and a decrease in reflected visible light of about 2 W/m2, leaving a 3 W/m2 change in net heat flux.
Avery's implicit promise would seem to be that with rising CO2, the heavens will part and let the excess energy out, a Lindzenesque mechanism to nullify global warming. The measured change in heat fluxes in the equatorial Pacific is indeed comparable to the radiative effect of doubling CO2 but the CO2 number is a global average, while the equatorial Pacific is just one region. The measurements probably reflect a regional rearrangement of cloud cover or ocean temperature, a decadal variation with no clear implication at all for the global mean heat budget of the Earth. The global heat imbalance has been inferred (Hansen et al, Science, 2005), and it is consistent with rising greenhouse gas concentrations and transient heating of the ocean.
A word about models in science (as opposed to in think-tank economics, Mr. Avery's home turf). Models would have little use if they were so easy to bend into any answer we thought we knew about in advance. One can always be critical of models, but there is no model that avoids global warming by parting the heavens, or that is exquisitely sensitive to solar variability but insensitive to CO2, the worlds that Mr. Avery wishes for.

The San Francisco SPCA and Macy's Partner for 27th Annual Holiday Windows [1]Date:
Celebrate the season by joining the San Francisco SPCA and Macy's for the 27th annual Holiday Windows event, where adoptable cats and dogs are showcased in Macy's holiday windows in Union Square. On November 22nd, at 5 p.m., the Windows will be unveiled on the corner of Stockton and O'Farrell Streets by cast members from Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon. Before the windows are unveiled, the De Marillac Academy choir will perform classic holiday songs. Last year, nearly 300 animals found homes during the Holiday Windows event and $80,000 was raised to support the SF SPCA's lifesaving programs.
"The Windows have become a true holiday tradition in San Francisco," said Jason Walthall, SF SPCA Co-President. "We are incredibly grateful to Macy's for their ongoing generosity and partnership. This event allows us to find homes for animals in need while also educating the public about animal welfare issues that impact San Francisco."
"Macy's is proud to continue the annual tradition of the SF SPCA Holiday Windows," said Rise Hixson, Visual Manager at Macy's Union Square. "Every year there is a building excitement in our store in the weeks before we welcome the puppies and kittens into the windows. I fall in love with at least one pet every year. It's easily my favorite window display because of the joy it brings to so many."
In the spirit of the holidays, those looking to welcome a lovable furry friend into their home can meet an animal in need by visiting the SF SPCA Holiday Windows at Macy's Union Square.
The Holiday Windows would not be possible without the help of volunteers. Last year more than 1,000 volunteers helped collect donations and greet the public. Volunteer shifts are only two hours and require no prior training. Groups are welcome as well. For details or to sign up, visit sfspca.org/holiday-volunteer [2] or call 415-554-3008.
Each year the Windows have a new theme. Holiday 2013 will be a new spin on the 2012 Iconic Holiday Celebration Windows theme, which featured Thanksgiving Day parade floats, Union Square ice skating, and holiday gift giving.
If you can't make it to the windows, you can still watch the animals online! All of the windows are equipped with video cameras that stream to sfspca.org/holiday [3].
For those who can't make it to Macy's, the SF SPCA will be waiving the adoption fees for animals adopted on weekdays from the permanent SF SPCA Adoption Center at 250 Florida Street.

- Health Issues (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/)
- - Help with IBD and diarrhea (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/391490-help-ibd-diarrhea.html)
Help with IBD and diarrhea
Rainer is a little over 2 years old and we've been dealing with diarrhea the whole time. He's had maybe 4-5 episodes total of diarrhea (the type that pours out like water - it has a more slimey texture as he improves). No vomiting, no lethargy, no behavioral changes. He doesn't seem to be in pain when he "goes", but it does tire him out. The vet thinks he has some IBD issues and recommended probiotics and enzymes.
He's being fasted right now. Once his GI tract clears out (no more diarrhea) he'll get some super mushy rice with a cooked egg. This usually makes everything form. He then gets a small amount of kibble (eating Annamaet Aqualuk Grain-Free Cold Water Formula). If diarrhea comes back, he'll get more rice for another day.
So I was thinking of trying pre-made RAW once his current bag of food is finished. I don't have the freezer space to do full out raw.
Can anyone recommend premade raw foods. Also, any recommendations on enzyme/probiotic combos to help in the meantime?
Sorry for such a long post!
have you tried other kibble brands?
Tons...He was on Cannidae when I got him, but it made him itchy. I've tried: Acana, Fromm, California Natural, Nature's Logic. I've tried unique protein (CN was Kangaroo and Lentil). The food he's on now is all fish. Nothing seems to work. He'll go a few months OK, then all of a sudden diarrhea, then back to being OK until the next bout.
Side note: During the months he is OK, his stool is formed but not firm. Always on the softer side. Still easy to pick up though.
Hi Rainer,
So sorry your boy, and you trying to help him, has had so much trouble!
A GREAT Digestive Enzyme and ProBiotic is called Sunday Sundae (Carmspac here on the blog). It has helped dogs with gut related problems and allergies. You can purchase it here: Sunday Sundae Nutritional Supplement Sunday Sundae has four direct sources of digestive enzymes and probiotics. One source is a 14 strain digestive enzyme blend plus goat whey matrix. The whey powder provides electrolytes, minerals and digestive enzymes. Probiotics are provided by an 11 strain blend plus lacto fermented goat protein powered. Digestive enzymes and probiotics to optimize nutrition and balance the immune system.
Because of his gut issues, always check for the fat content as too much will irritate his system further. For commercially prepared raw food, Northwest Naturals example:
Beef, Beef Heart, Beef Liver, Ground Beef Bone, Broccoli, Carrots, Beef Kidney, Romaine Lettuce, Apples, Ground Flaxseed, Salmon Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Blueberry, Cranberry, Inulin, Dried Kelp, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Ginger, Parsley, Garlic, Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Vitamin E Supplement, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Mixed Tocopherols (as preservative), Vitamin D Supplement.

Another choice would be The Honest Kitchen DE-Hydrated products which are 100% Human Grade Ingredients prepared in a 100% Human Grade Facility. This is the ONLY pet food in the USA that the FDA legally allows the words HUMAN GRADE to be used on its packaging and advertising. This food has helped countless dogs with issues such as yours. A 10# box re-hydrates to approx. 35-40 pounds. I would highly suggest the GRAIN FREE versions: Embark, Love, or Zeal. www.thehonestkitchen.com

2 Oz. $14 Digestive Enzyme Drops 2 oz (60 ml) by Professional Formulas
Thank you for your response :)
I have the Sunday Sundae, but it didn't seem to help. Perhaps I was using it incorrectly? I put a tsp of the powder in yogurt or kefir, mixed it up and let it sit for a few minutes to come to room temp, let him have half and immediately gave him his food, then immediately gave him the other half. Is this correct?
I will look into the raw options. :) Thank you for the suggestions!
Poor pup has been sleeping all day - we didn't get any sleep last night. His gut seems to have calmed down a bit. I gave him some yogurt with the Sunday Sundae mixed in and added an extra probiotic (Milk-Free Probiotic Acidophilus Plus FOS Vcaps - Bluebonnet Product - Bluebonnet Nutrition) I use and it seems to have helped for the time being.
**Edit to ask: What dosage do you recommend for the drops in the second link? I believe the link gives dosage recommendation for an adult human. Rainer is about 77-78lbs and very lean. He eats twice a day.
I've been there and almost lost my dog, so I know what you are going thru!
Yes, you did it correctly according to the instructions, but I think since it wasn't working, drop the yogurt/keifer and just put it in barley warm water to set for a time, then mix in your food. Carmen suggests working up to 1 Tablespoon per meal, adjust to where the stool is firm and stick with that dose.
The BlueBonnet product looks fine, but may be too much with the SS.
He may need "bile" added to his food to assist the gut, but I'd hold on that for now.
The Homeopathic should be 10 drops per meal.
Also could be that he just needs to get off of that food.
This is what Dr. Becker says to use to give the gut a rest for a week or so:
"The bland diet I recommend is cooked ground turkey (93%meat/7%fat) and 100 percent canned pumpkin (no spices) or cooked sweet potato. This is mixed 50/50). The old-school bland diet of beef and rice isnt as effective, in my opinion, because the beef is high in fat, which can increase inflammation and promote pancreatitis. Rice is a complex carbohydrate that tends to ferment in the GI tract, causing gas, bloating, and additional GI irritation."
Then maybe you could transition on to the HK Zeal (if he is ok with fish). "Ideal for those dogs who need a limited ingredient diet." Of course, this is the more expensive one, but considering your dogs problem, I would spend the money!
BTW, I wouldn't give him any store bought treats, only very small pieces of cooked meat (such as round steak or chicken cooked without fat or skin attached).
Feel free to pm me if you have specific questions.
Many on this site have suggested and had great luck with Kocci Free for this type of ongoing, intermittent colitis:
It's not super pricey and is a natural supplement, so you never know... Might help.
Good luck. I know (from ongoing experience) how tricky these persistent GI issues can be. :(
Did you get Rainer blood tested for Pancreatitis? My GSD just got diagnosed with it today (she is only 5 months old). The only way they can diagnose it is with a blood test. My pup is on 5 different medications some ranging 4 days to 2 weeks and can't eat until tomorrow. If in doubt ask your vet to perform a blood test for everything including pancreatitis.
I'm trying out some homeopathic enzymes and pro-biotics that were recommended (thanks again, Momto2GSDs!) along with a meat blend to see how he does. He's currently eating cooked ground turkey with pumpkin just to give his gut a break. Hopefully I will make a separate thread on raw soon....I've been trying to research as well as figure out some logistics.
Will look into Kocci Free if the enzymes/probiotics don't work :)
GI issues are beyond frustrating. Drives both of us crazy since it only seems to start up before bedtime and then we're both up all night so I can run him outside. :(

Okay folks, here's a project I've been working on for the past few months.
I tried an Imperial Guard last year with very bad results. I'm talking worse than a Rubies Boba. But, I decided to give it another go since I had some success with my custom Mandolorian helmet. (To see the full IGV2 progress thread, click here.)
Here are a few selected pictures from the build process.
To start, I'm modeling it after the Luke IG Disguise figure.
I started bu using the WOF interior form and covered it with a layer of flat cardboard.
I added spacers and another strip of cardboard for the lower outer shell.
Added the slope to the back.
Formed the nose.
The dome was tricky. The standard WOF pattern works, but the center pieces had to be overlapped to make the dome shorter.
I coated it with resin to stiffen it up.
The regular bondo layer.
After sanding that, I added a Bondo-Glass layer.
I sanded again and added another resin layer.
As with all scratch-builds, Bondo or Bondo-glass doesn't smooth out completely. Even with the resin outer coat, there was still a ot of sanding to do, which left small pot-marks. So I turned to Glazing Putty.
Then after an under coat of black paint, here is a sneak peek at what the final color will be.
I have to let my Dremel rest for a while. I've used the snot out of it lately trying to work inside the ears and snout. I've been sanding and filling with more putty and the results are pretty good so far. I'm also going to be fashioning an aerator insert for the snout (perfect place for a speaker or fan) and hopefully start casting this thing within the next few months.
I'll post updates later after the smoke from my poor dremel clears out. :D

I have a box of these: http: // www .theurbanbeehive. com. au/Products.cfm
That's the ones! Just the ticket to keep in the car for swarms I would think.
I wear it if a get lucky.
The only problem I see with that idea is the box looks a little flimsy. Looks like the bees could easily get loose. Thousands of bee loose in 1500kg of metal flying down the road at 60km/h may be a prescription for a problem.

Recently, both the industry and municipalities across the country have shown a growing interest in using flexible connectors to ensure watertight storm sewers. In more and more cities, flexible, also called resilient, connectors are being written into project specifications and becoming the choice of contractors.
Resilient connectors are appealing because municipalities save money in maintenance, contractors save money on time, labor, and materials, and precasters increase their sales and profits by giving customers a value-added product. Pat Camp, co-owner of Camp Precast Concrete Products Inc., Milton, Vt., estimates that company profits have doubled in 5 years due to its selling 50% to 60% of drainage structures with resilient connectors.
While listening to a local contractor telling the audience about the benefits of resilient connectors for storm sewers, Camp suddenly realized that his own well-rehearsed selling pitch applied to contractors and engineers, but not to precasters. He immediately modified his talk to stress higher profits and faster installation time connectors allow. He also points out, "Contractors will also have fewer callbacks from customers because they have a better-quality product in the ground that's not going to leak and cause undermining of roads."
Contractor Steve Blomeley, president of JMHC Inc. in Longwood, Fla., also spoke at NPCA's annual convention last year. He highlighted the advantage of knowing the fixed cost of resilient connectors vs. the varying costs of brick and mortar. Blomeley also spoke of the contractor's competitive advantage when using resilient connectors.
"There are advantages to keeping the storm sewer joints flexible and watertight," says Kent Halloran, senior project engineer with Malcolm Pirnie Inc., engineering consultants for the City of Fort Wayne. "You'll substantially reduce the potential for structural damage resulting from differential settlement."
Already ahead of the game regarding cleaner rivers and streams, Halloran stresses, "I think as environmental protection agencies and other regulatory agencies are looking to require treatment of storm sewers, resilient connectors are going to play a significant role."
With this new application snowballing, Dan Dallas, general manager of Atlantic Concrete Products Inc., Sarasota, Fla., says the company is now in the stage of educating engineers and municipalities. Requesting that engineers design catch basins with resilient connectors in mind, Dallas notes, "It takes a little time and effort, but you reap the benefits from the price you can charge for a better-quality product. It's a minor adjustment." He also reports that installing the connectors is difficult on only 5% or fewer storm structures not specifically designed for resilient connectors.
Paul O'Leary Jr., P.E., founder of O'Leary-Burke Civil Associates PLC, Essex Junction, Vt., says, "If I tell them it's a better product and it's not costing them any more money, it's a very short conversation."
Having promoted resilient connectors for storm structures since 1994, Dave Akin, president of Bluffton Precast Concrete Products in Bluffton, Ohio, says, "It's a no-brainer to use resilient connectors over grout. With all the mess and time involved, I'm sold on it all the way."
Connector manufacturers' marketing avenues include bringing in speakers to trade shows at both a local and national level.
The article describes how flexible connectors work and how watertight storm sewers are designed.

Federal Trade Commission is getting an earful from people who feel deceived and mislead.Slowly but surely, word is sinking in with consumers about a different and much less noble image of Humane Society of the United States. The result is a backlash that is hitting them where it hurts the most: The wallet.
Led by HumaneWatch.org, efforts to expose HSUS as a donation-sucking vacuum that only uses pet do-gooding as an emotional façade are starting to have an effect. As awareness grows about the scope of its actual involvement in running pet shelters (none) and the percentage of donations that are spent on shelters (one), "stuff" is starting to hit the fan.
Much of it is coming from former HSUS donors, who are expressing their outrage at being deceived and mislead to the Federal Trade Commission. (Photo courtesy of Center for Consumer Freedom.)
Earlier this month, HumaneWatch.org posted instructions on its website for those wanting to file a formal complaint with the FTC, and encouraged them to share their comments with others. It estimates that some 200 had done so as you read this. Here are just three that were sent to the FTC:
"They advertise they are helping animals, when only $1 out of every $100 goes to help animals. My sister has sent them money thinking she is helping animals, when in reality she's helping promote vegetarianism!"
"I have given money to HSUS thinking they were helping animals, only to find out they are lining their own pockets and the pockets of lobbyists to end circuses, zoos, breeding, exhibiting of animals, etc."
"I was duped by the misleading advertising of the HSUS, sent them donations, and then found out that despite their clever name and heart-wrenching advertising propaganda, they are not using the majority of their donations to help animals."

The parents of Pekka-Eric Auvinen, who shot several students in a Finnish school last year discussed their son for the first time on the anniversary of his destructive action. The father said he spent the morning with his son who outwardly, at least, was normal. Later, a schoolmate called and asked if either Pekka or his gun were at home. This was the first Mr. Auvinen even knew his son owned a gun. He found a receipt for the gun in his son's room along with a note that indicated according to the father, "that hopefully conditions would be better in the future for individuals and there was the hope that nobody would have to do anything like that again." After reading the note, he went into a state of shock.
The parents insisted their son had long been the object of bullying at school and that even in elementary school he had been harassed by other children. "He was attacked, thrown against the coat racks. He was also shot with a pellet gun on his way to school nd had a laser pointer pen pointed at his eyes." The boy constantly asked his parents why no one would be his friend.
Variations of Pekka's story continually crop up AFTER shootings.

I just had to share. Rest In Peace boys!
Attila & Mr Wee
Attila after surgery
ISO Breeder in Michigan and/or Southern California
Hello! I'm new to the site and my search for a gs puppy has led me here. We are a military family (with no children) and are looking for a male gs puppy. We are currently PCSing (moving) from Michigan to southern California (our 4th move in 3 years) and yes it is every bit exhausting as it sounds.
*Warning - I got a bit carried away once I started typing. Sorry it is so long and you can skip down to the bottom for my question if you'd like.
It has been the roughest 3 years including losing our 2 big furbabies. About a year and a half ago we lost our shepherd mix (the most loyal, protective, gentle dog I've ever met) he had a tumor growing behind or near his nasal passage and a disease that is quite uncommon. We did all we could, but his disease had no cure and they could not operate on his tumor due to its location. He was only 9 1/2 years old and we did not see it coming. He deteriorated quickly and it was painful to watch.
Then this past January we had to put down our Siberian Husky who was 12 years old. I learned the very hardest way where not to buy a puppy from. It started when he was about 3 years old and he had a seizure. We managed to get the seizures under control using meds, but didn't keep him on it long term due to the meds long term effects. Fast forward to age 7 and the real troubles began. Honestly we still have no solid idea what was wrong with him. He would dig at his face constantly (he had dew claws) and ripped his eye open and we battled this fiasco for over a year with many vet visits and medications and he had to wear a cone a lot so he didn't destroy his face. We then decided it was worth the risk to get his dew claws removed (and his teeth cleaned). Keep in mind he had the seizures and there was increased risk putting him under especially with a compromised immune system. We did the bloodwork and the vet gave the ok so we did it. He made it through surgery just fine and couldn't dig his face anymore! He started to get better for a few days. Then he started to get sick again and coughing up clear fluid. Back to the vet we go and they had to knock him out and do xrays then they bring me in to see the xrays and his whole chest was just white. He had pneumonia very badly, meanwhile he is laying on the table knocked out coughing and spitting up fluids and I'm crying. We were getting ready to move (again) and my husband was at a school accross the country for 3 months. It was devastating. We hit it hard with meds and he had to go back in 2 days for more xrays. When we returned 2 days later the fluid in his lungs had went down a lot then the vet tells me that is the worst case she has ever seen and honestly thought he had no chance of making it (thanks for telling me lady). Keep hitting the meds and he gets better. He was his old self for the first time in a LONG time, but it was short lived. For the next and last 3 years of his life he battled pneumonia multiple more times, his hips gave out, he had a problem with a disc in his back, and he got to where he couldn't get up and also had a hard time laying down. I cannot even touch every struggle he faced. He went down and bounced back so many times. We poured thousands upon thousands of dollars into his care over the years. I lost count a long time ago. He was worth everything we have and more to us. I remember crying into his fur during my husbands first deployment when he got extended 3 times and sent to Iraq when the war started. He was my baby, best friend, and the most constant thing in my life (both of them were). We moved countless times and my dogs have seen more of this country than most people. Sorry for rambling on - apparently I had a story to tell.
*Continue reading here if you skipped the middle.
So we are looking for a male german shepherd puppy in Michigan (only if available in the next 4 weeks - good luck I know!) and after that in Southern California (which I fear will cost us more money and maybe more than we can afford)!
If you can recommend any breeders or suggestions I'd be very grateful. I'm leaning towards looking for a more straight back than the sloped. I'll have plenty of time to spend with him and train him.

I am trying to restore a 63 chevy impala. I have a lot of rust on the frame. I was told that a frame on a 91 caprice is the same except for having to add a brace across the front end. has anyone got any info or experience with this?
I'm not sure about that. GM with all the full perimeter frame cars are usually interchangeable. I don't know if the 91 Caprice may have a C-Channel Frame as yours is a Box-Frame. Take a ride to the junkyard, I'm sure those guys can help you. I'm not possitive about the difference. Maybe the Police cruisers were also different too with the 91 Caprice.Bob
The '61 through '64 has an "X" frame. The 65-up has a perimiter, or ladder frame. Body mount locations might be similar. This is a '64 frame.
91 to 93 caprice 4 door frame..i don't think its going to FIT. i am not saying its not possible.. anything thing is possible.. just takes more money... if you are RESTORING the 63.. swapping in a NON STOCK frame kinda ENDS your restoration and becomes an UP GRADE.. or a hot rodded..my boss flew to mexico for a few days.. drove to a town out in the middle of nowhere to see this old caddy that was quite valuable.. when he got there.. it was driving around on a FORD PICK up twin I beam frame.. man was he mad.. it also had the ford truck motor transmission and rear end under it.. seems a 59 caddy is about the right size to fit a pickup truck.. at that point in time about 25 years ago. 59 caddys were selling for over 100K
Thanks guys. I think I may have gotten bad info on the caprice. I've been having trouble finding a 63 frame. I'll keep looking.
i don't have a hollander interchange on 60s GM models..but i would think that some of the other full size might interchange...depending on where the RUST is.. it might be repairable..63 chevy's are quite popular... so keep searching..now.. if you wanted to Graft the front of a donor frame on to the X frame.. that just takes some measuring..edit...one wonders... about the fit.. seems there are several aftermarket frames available..http://www.progressiveautomotive.com/61CX.htm
lets look at some photos i am borrowing from idrivejunk..
i drive junk sent me this link for a cheep impala body and frame... no title though.. so its quasi legal.. be sure to take a web enabled phone.. and check the vin at the NICB vin check site.. google it.. to make sure its NOT STOLEN.. thats all you would need.. getting pulled over with a stolen stripped car on your trailer...http://fayar.craigslist.org/pts/3366241929.html
Theres a pretty big difference in wheelbase between those two. Wayne, thats good advice on the old car bodies and frames. You don't want a hot one!

Thank you very much for discussing my question on Crypto and the Miox disinfecting system on the last podcast. I appreciated the additional information.
My daughter sent me this link to a CDC report on killing crypto oocysts with miox.
I know you would probably still recommend the filter, but I just want to be sure of all my options.

Hi Vincent and Dickson:
I'm up to TWIP 13, and I'm learning quite a bit. Got a couple questions:
1. I understand that sickle cell trait affords some resistance to malaria, could you comment on this. I've heard that if you have 2 (genes?) you get the sickle cell disease, but if only 1, just the trait and it's speculated that this evolved for protection against malaria. Is this still the belief?
2. I thought sex evolved to provide an organisim with a faster way to adapt. With sex there are more slightly different members of a species and so allows for faster adaptation in a crisis than would clones.
I'm confused about sex in the single celled parisites. If there's only a single cell, and it makes both males and females, how does this result in more choices. Where do these join up in sexual combinations that are not all from the same "mother" cell. If a cat eats a rat that is infected with Toxoplasma, how did the rat get more than one set of different offspring. Does it have to be infected multiple times by different lines and then meet up in the gut? Or eat multiple infected rats? Ditto for malaria.
Keep em coming, I am still listening even though for a few moments I worried that my flu this year was malaria. Fortunately, no big headache or backache. But I did wonder about whether mosquitos were still dangerous in the "winter" in S. California. How cold does it have to be for them to die. It's been no lower than 45 deg F. at night here in L.A.
Regards, and great job,

Study sheds new light on river blindness parasite
via e! Science News - Health & Medicine on 1/12/11
The team found that a bacterium inside the worm acts as a 'disguise' for the parasite, resulting in the immune system reacting to it in an ineffective way. The bacteria protect the worm from the body's natural defences, but once the bacteria are removed with antibiotics, the immune system responds appropriately, releasing cells, called eosinophils, that kill the worm.

I understand bed bugs can be killed with heat. This article about lice indicates dehydration is the killing mechanism. I wonder if the same applies to bed bugs and the heat just hastens the process. If so, might running several dehumidifiers and a heater in a sealed room be a faster means of ged bug disinfection.

So my decision to go to dragon con was very last minute. Like, two weeks. And of course, in typical costumer manner, I knew I couldn't show up to dragon con without something new to show off. Enter this baby. I had the flightsuit already made, the gloves in hand, and had made the gear belt. Everything else- modifying the helmet, making the armor, making the girth belt, making the cape and the leather armor vest, all happened in two weeks time. People were telling me the paint still smelled new while I was wearing it:lol
Here's the original photoshop rendering I had made a while ago, and some pics I've found online of my armor. Hope you all like!

I said that I could not do this for several reasons. 1. The cost in gas would be about 50.00 and it would take 2 hours to get there.2. the cost of materials to put the bees in would be about 75.00.3. The time it would take to remove the bees would be about 3-4 hours.4. I don't repair walls or clean carpets after removal.5. I subsidise my income working and removing bees.6. I don't work bees at night.They said that they heard that bees were endangered and that people would remove them for free to just get the bees.I said that there probably were some people out there that would do that but that I did not know of anyone. I said that they should google the web and see.I said they needed to contact a person nearer to them to get the bees. John

I don't know if these things were discussed here or elsewhere, but here are the questions:
1 - I was looking at the Supertrooper images and saw this:
Those marks on the left shoulder looks like the helmet's front arrows (I altered a little bit the images to be more visible). What are those?
2 - The Bantha Skull on the Pre-Pro 3 is the same as the ROTJ one. We know that the PP3 was painted to look like the ESB (or vice versa), the major differences are the Gauntlets and the Jetpack. As I recall, the ESB was painted prior filming, so this suit is the most recent of all 6 versions and this means that the ESB suit was a one of a kind setup?
3 - There are images with the ESB helmet that looks like the ROTJ one: it's missing the polaroid rangefinder. When this happened?
4 - What is this on the Pre-Pro 1 Jetpack? This is where the cape was originally attached to help cover Boba's chest to look like Clint Eastwood's character?
I know, too much questions... But how many answers?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
A puppy will be like having another 2 year old... needing constant attention, supervision and training. GSD puppies are alot of work. They chew, tear things up, get ahold of the kids favorite toys and destroy them... Rewarding however
You can skip all this by adopting an older pup or dog, that is known to be good with children. There's a million of them out there needing loving homes. They are wonderful family dogs all around. I have always had them around my kids, 20+ years now. And a good deterrent. Most criminals are not going to pick the family with a GSD. (or 2 )
I'm single and in my 40s and got Kyleigh 16 months ago. I have lots of experience with dogs, and my "dream dog" is the GSD.
As a first time GSD owner, I was rudely awoken a number of times with Kyleigh. She did things I haven't seen in other dogs / puppies.
The landshark phase / biting / teething ... it CAN be over the top for someone. Especially if you have children - and ages 2 and 4 are too young to be dealing with that (not that I expect you to have them "deal" with it). But just managing that "phase" as well as two small children will require extraordinary effort - do you cage the dog all the time? Or the kids? (just kidding!)
If the puppy is not managed 100% of the time during the teething / landshark phase, your children might become afraid of the dog.
Kyleigh demanded (and yes, I mean DEMANDED) my full attention until she was about 8 months old. If I wasn't working with her (training, playing, etc.) She was in her crate (thankfully she settled in her crate admirably). I had to "teach" her to have an off switch. I had her leash attached to me for 4 months while we were in the house. This taught her to follow me, respect my space and I could watch her and make sure she didn't chew / eat anything she wasn't supposed to.
BUT ... she would NOT settle for longer periods that 15-20 minutes unless she was in her crate. This is what I had to teach her ... and it doesn't happen over night.
Some puppies are more demanding than others. You might get lucky and get a mellow puppy, but on the other hand, you might get one that DEMANDS your attention like Kyleigh did, and I had to teach her to relax.
Kyleigh calmed down around a year old. I exercised her both physically and mentally for hours ... and she was still ready to rock and roll at the drop of a hat.
Personally, with my knowledge of dogs and my very recent experience of raising a GSD puppy, I would go with an adult GSD from a rescue, or even a retired dog from a breeder. With two children in the house, you will simply be adding another child to the picture ... but one you can't have a discussion with!
Just my two cents!! Good luck with your decision
Originally Posted by Ageizm View Post

The gun is great if you are actually being threatened when at home, but if you have a large, barking dog (or sometimes even a small barking dog), most criminals will move on to easier targets.
|Jo Ellen
I have a GSD puppy that is not aggressive in the slightest. A bit territorial, he notices everything that moves outside our "territory."
But he sure is into rough and tumble play. I've had quite a few injuries from Spirit ... from his paws, jumping on me, he loves to jump on my head when I'm sitting on the couch. Is he out of control? I don't think so. Is he a normal life-loving rambunctious puppy? Definitely. He's very strong too, incredibly strong -- both physically and in temperament.
I don't have small children though, not sure how he would play with a 2 and 4 year old. But I can say he plays very rough with me.
Aside from that, these dogs demand activity. On the days that work consumes me and I can't give Spirit a decent level of activity -- he's into trouble.
All this said, I wouldn't trade him for the world
|Yea i guess having always lived in urban areas leaves me a bit blind to rural crime issues. By the same token if she's away from the home wouldn't said criminal element just poison the deterrent? I mean with no neighbors all the barking in the world wouldn't really make a difference imo. This of course suggest that she needs the deterrent for when she is not at home ( I'd go with a security system ), if she feels she needs the deterrent while at home I'd go with a gun ( the dog might need protection as well). Of course not knowing her exact reasons for needing said deterrent leaves us to simply speculate...which I will stop doing now lol

Remember this is only my opinion based on what you stated in the OP, ultimately the decision is yours! Best of luck!

you have to be right for a dog. you can train your
dog to be super friendly, protective, cuddle bug,
friendly/protective, etc.
I raised my 13 year old son with the breed and have seen first hand how wonderful the GSD can be with children.
However, it takes a lot of time and effort. Puppies don't train themselves and need a ton of supervision and training to grow up to be the dog they can be. They are slow to mature and don't leave puppyhood until they are 2-3 years old.
My advice would be to get out and attend dog events where GSDs will be. Take a look at the different lines (or "flavors") that they come in and decide what strikes your fancy and what fits your life style. Then talk to people who have the type of dog that you like and find out where they got their dogs.
Be prepared to be work hard to get the dog you want. There is no better breed than a well breed, well trained and socialized German Shepherd dog. But it take work to get there.
Good luck!
|wolfy dog
Congratulations on your plans. If you want to start with a pup you have to be prepared to put a lot, a lot if time into training and socializing in order to get the dog you are hoping for. The first 6 months can basically be puppy time 24/7. With a young family that can be a challenge. As a trainer I have visited several families whose small kids were living on the couch to prevent the pup from biting them. They had thought that it would be fun if the puppy could grow up with the kids.
If you plan on pup, check the adult dogs if possible. I am sure the members on the forum can help you find a good breeder.
It can be done of course, I did it when our kids were little but dogs were my passion and outlet.
If you contact several good rescues who know what they are doing (not every rescue does unfortunately) and are willing to take the dog back if it doesn't work (contract!), you might find a nice adult dog that is passed all the puppy stuff.
Have fun with the planning, so exciting!

Evening all...
Fisrt of all, big shout out to The Dent for sorting out my registration, cheers man!
Since I have been registered I have a look around the forum to get know what to expect before I posted anything and there is some talented buggers on here is there not?! Good work fellas, and fellaettes!!
If anyone hasent guessed yet I am from good old Blighty.
Have done some life casting before after I having a delivery of alginate and a load liquid latex delivered to my door a couple of days after a bored boozy night in at the computer and I am quite good a making/modelling things. Since then I have pleanty of ideas of making masks/costumes, which with my electronic control background I hope to intergrate them into something special, but at the moment am still a novice in the ways to achieve this.
What brought me to this site is not only the fact that there is great advice on how to acheive this, but also information on making probably the coolest and best costumes know to man!!
Hope to get to know you all soon, and where I will no doubtably be calling on your knowledge and skills, I hope I can be of just as good use to you in the future!
Cheers for now.

This is my first year beekeeping so I am still learning a lot. I just put a new deep super on top of 4 other deeps I have.
I need to know how much honey to leave over winter ...
My bottom two deeps have brood in them now. Will the queen move down into the lower one for winter and do I take the top one off :?: When do I do that? Thaanx for any help :D I have learned alot from this forum.EOHenry
I agree. Leave it on, especially if they are drawing it out and you have a flow going on.There is no magic number of supers. Golf likes two, I usually lean towards 3, but neither is wrong :D Just make sure you don't move stuff around too late in the fall that would cause a split of the stores.
Supers to me, are extra boxes on top. I usually don't care if when they are making honey, the queen moves up before the bees push her back down. (I believe in unlimited brood boxes for extracted honey) Finman, he is going to harvest 2, he still has a flow going on.
Many of the people in the forum are keeping bees for the first time. ..... I think most everyone will be pleasantly suprised by how much honey they get. It's alot of fun to get a couple boomers going see what the bees are capable of.
