Re: Mast (Climbing)- No Halyards
My current boat has a 34 foot mast of fairly heavy section material. It came with mast steps already fitted, obviously done properly by the spar maker. They are the greatest convenience since sliced bread. I can be at the top of the mast in under a minute, though I do take a little longer because I always go aloft with a safety harness and take a couple of turns around the mast with a strap which has to be unclipped and re-clipped as I pass the spreaders. Once at the position where I need to work I hang off the harness with my feet securely in the steps. With a second strap around the mast - just in case.
Other than windage which would not be acceptable to a pure racer, the only downside is that the main halliard can sometimes catch around one of the steps. I have learned to watch for this as I hoist the main.
When you do bite the bullet and unstep the mast, it may be worth having a pro fit proper steps. NOT with self tappers! Rivets would be the way to go. Depending on the cost, they could pay for themselves if you don't have a need to unstep annually.
Re unstepping, I am of the school who avoids it because I am too cheap to hire a crane. The mast is stepped on deck which made the following a bit easier, but it could be done with any mast:
Recently I found about two inches at the heel was corroded. The previous owner had used brass rivets into aluminium, but only in this one place. The solution was to slack the rigging off but not uncouple the turnbuckles, and double up with extra rope to deck cleats etc to stabilise it. Then we placed some spreaders on the deck and used a high lift ratchet jack under the spinnaker pole fitting to lift the mast up enough to get in and slice out the corroded bottom two inches. The plug at the heel was removed and cleaned up and repainted, as was the getting rid of the corrosion at the base of the mast. Then the mast was dropped back on to the heel fitting and refixed with alloy rivets. Now the mast is two inches shorter, and raked back slightly as I did not want to change the forestay length due to the self furler. But this has not resulted in any excessive weather helm (which I thought could be the outcome) and I feel so much better about getting rid of the corrosion at minimal cost.

Re: Mast (Climbing)- No Halyards
I kind of chuckle a little when I read these posts where people are willing to do almost anything to avoid unstepping the mast. Really, it's not that big a deal. Up here in snow land, the boats come out of the water for six months every year, and some of the marina's don't even allow storing with the mast up of you're on jack stands. Some even have low power lines between the storage area and launch well. Many masts are unstepped every year, I try to do mine every couple of years. It's better for the mast and boat, and makes inspection and maintenance much easier. The marina I store at has a tall gin pole (hand cranked crane) that we use and it's free if we do it ourselves. Takes about half an hour for three people, and we could do it with two if we didn't have a jib furler.
Re: Mast (Climbing)- No Halyards
Guys, at 69 I can't afford to fall, not enough time left to heal. I go aloft in a Boson Chair, Safety harness, ATM Mast climber, Main Halyard hooked to the Bosom Chair upper D ring and a safety line around the mast and hooked to the safety harness. Climber running up the Jib Halyard and a safety line preventing swing. Assistant on winch to take up slack and help my legs and a tail handler to watch my progress. I'm 189 lbs and even after 11 years of football and coaching 1/2 my life my legs are not strong enough to climb with out the winch assistance. "Old but not dead yet" remember safety first and not if but when it happens as quoted by Don Cassey.

As for the extreme clueless, there are people who are a danger to themselves and others. They should play golf to limit the damages.
In any event, I sometimes wonder if the administrators don't feed the forums with nonsense queries like this just to generate conversation.
Re: Mast (Climbing)- No Halyards
Rent an extention ladder and tie it to the mast as you go up it works well and is quite safe!!!

For any real sailors out there. Try using a couple pieces of thin strong line and make loops and attach them to a thick rope halyard with prussic knots. It works but is a bit slow. I've done it. Ascenders might be better but at a higher cost. A mast mate works, although I've never used one. None of this works without a halyard and of course a second one for a safety.
Re: Mast (Climbing)- No Halyards
If I ever lose all halyards at once, I plan to us a couple lines, each wrapped around the mast 4 or more times, with some slack in the final loop. Then I'll use each of those as prusic knots, sliding them up one at a time, and letting them support the chair and foot loops on my TopClimber.
(I use this technique when installing my main sail solo. The top sliders go into the track first, which means I'm lifting significant weight while fiddling with getting the final sliders/cars inserted. The mast loops -- tied around the mast below the lowest inserted slider/car -- relieve the weight and make the job easy. Think of this as separating the act of lifting from the act of inserting the sliders/cars. It becomes a casual activity instead.)
Ascending the mast this way would be slow going, and I'd need to re-tie new loops after each spreader, but it would work, slowly. It would probably take 3 hours to ascend.
My lawyer just called. This is too dangerous, don't do any of this. Hire a professional rigger. They could use the work and they know what they are doing. And you'll likely get some hints on any obvious issues.

believe the jib block is there but nothing for the main sail. Any ideas on how
to climb the mast?
Wondering if those metal shelf brackets that you can get at home depot would
work if you could somehow use self tapping screws to make a ladder to the top of
the mast? Would it be strong enough? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Also spent the day clearing out all belongings, getting ready for a refit and
look forward to using some of the ideas I have seen in this group.

Posted by Peter Wannemacher on October 16, 2012
Earlier this week I caught up with Discover's Mike Boush to talk about his keynote at the upcoming eBusiness Forum, where he'll explore innovations in eBusiness at Discover. Here's a snippet of our conversation, and a sneak peak of Mike's session at the event:
Q: What digital initiative have you undertaken in the last 12 months that you're most excited about?
A: I love what we're doing with partnerships online. It's creating a whole lot of value for customers and, frankly, getting us out of the "must be built at Discover" mentality. It started with an integration with PayPal in order to deliver peer-to-peer payment services. The program leverages PayPal's huge delivery platform, and customers love it. Then we introduced an integration with Amazon that lets customers pay for their Amazon.com purchases with the cash they earned through our Cashback Bonus rewards program. This really highlights the difference between competitors' "points" programs and our straightforward cash, and the transparency shows just how great our program is. And recently, Google announced our integration of Discover card enrollment into the Google Wallet from our website, which is convenient for customers and helps position us in the mobile payments space. These integrations are just a sample of what we've done, but they become powerful illustration of what we can do when we team up and innovate with other great companies.
Q: What gets in the way of delivering the right experience to your customers?

Shravan Mahina, or Sawan Mas, in the Hindi calendar is dedicated to Lord Shiva. In 2017, Shravan Mahina is from July 20 to August 7 in traditional Hindu calendar followed in North India. Special prayers and rituals are performed in Lord Shiva temples and in sacred places associated with Siva. Kanwarias travel to the origin of
to collect holy water, or Gangajal, to bath the Shivling at their homes or in villages. Somvar or Mondays in the month is considered highly auspicious for the worship of Lord Shiva. Ganga River
In Maharashtra,
Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, Shravan month begins on July 24, 2017 and ends on August 21.
It is believed that Lord Shiva to save the world drank the poison 'halahala' that came out during the Samdura Manthan or churning of ocean. It is said that the gods in Hindu pantheon assembled to witness this holy act of Shiva. Water from Ganga is offered to cool Lord Shiva and to alleviate the ill effects of the poison.
The main Shravan Puja is the worship of Shivling with Gangajal, Bilva leaves or pure water. Some people observe fast on Mondays. Many people observe different vows during the month like having only vegetarian food, or reading a particular Holy Scripture on all days of the month.
Shiva temples across
North India have special poojas in this month. Deoghar Baidhyanath Dham and is visited by millions of Hindus in the month of Sawan. Kashi Vishwanath Temple
Shravan Mahina is also the first month of Chatur Mas – the four holiest months in Hindu Hindi Calendar.
Another unique feature is the strict observance of Sawan Somwar Vrata. Mondays are dedicated to Lord Shiva and the Mondays in Shravan Mahina are even more auspicious.
Mangala Gouri Puja is performed on Tuesdays in Shravan Month.
Saturdays in Shravan month is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shani.
Millions of devotees visit the Baba Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar and offer Ganga water collected from Sultanganj as Abhishek on the Shivling at the Deoghar Temple. This is the period of the Shravani mela at the temple.

Karrin Allyson
Allyson continued issuing albums at a steady pace throughout the remainder of the decade, including such titles as 1993's Sweet Home Cookin' and 1994's Azure-Té, plus a pair in 1996, Collage and Daydream. For her final release of the '90s, 1999's From Paris to Rio, Allyson decided to try something different and issued an album in which she sang lyrics in French and Portuguese, while covering a lot of ground stylistically (everything from a Jacques Brel cover to samba and bossa nova tunes). Allyson's next offering, 2001's Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane, proved to be one of the most acclaimed and successful of her entire career, as it earned a pair of Grammy nominations. For 2002's In Blue, Allyson opted to cover other artists' material (Mose Allison, Joni Mitchell, George and Ira Gershwin, Blossom Dearie, Abbey Lincoln, Oscar Brown, Jr., and Bonnie Raitt), as the singer only penned one of the album's 13 tracks, a path she also followed two years later on Wild for You, which contained her versions of songs from artists she had grown up with, like Cat Stevens, James Taylor, and Mitchell. In 2006 she released Footprints, earning herself a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
Over the years, Allyson has performed at some of the top concert halls in the U.S., including an all-star tribute to Ella Fitzgerald at New York's Carnegie Hall, in addition to playing alongside both the Kansas City and Omaha symphonies. In 2008 Allyson released Imagina: Songs of Brasil, interpreting the songs of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Edú Lobo, Torquato Neto, and Pedro Caetano. She toured the recording for the next year before taking a break. In 2010 she began recording collection of jazz, pop, and Broadway standards entitled 'Round Midnight, where she cut tunes by everyone from Duke Ellington and Stephen Sondheim to Paul Simon and Bill Evans. The album marked the first time in her recording career that she played all the keyboards on the set. It was issued in 2011 by Concord Jazz. ~ Scott Yanow & Greg Prato

It's hard to strike a balance between surrounding mussels in a broth worthy of an entire loaf of bread and actually tasting their sweet, briny flavor. Here's a version that lands in the center: The mussels don't get lost, but the tonic at the bottom of the pot, a heady mixture of white wine, anchovies, and leeks, is augmented at the last minute with a garlic-parsley butter that keeps you seated long after the shells are all piled up—and because the garlic retains its strong, fresh flavor, it wards off vampires, too.$0.00

Cioppino is a classic seafood stew whose origins can be traced to the Italian fishers of San Francisco. And unlike many fishermen's stews that are thick and tomato-based, this one relies on fish stock (or clam broth) and just a hint of tomato, plus the unmistakable flavors of fennel and crushed red pepper flakes, to create a gently perfumed, aromatic broth with a bit of a kick. The final crowning touch is the addition of one of the Northwest's iconic fish, fresh halibut, which perches atop the cioppino.$0.00

The PMBOK outlines the specific actions required for proper risk management. In this third installment of Michele Sliger's four-part column series, she looks at this risk management process and determines how compliance with the PMBOK practices correspond to activities that an agile team might do.
According to the PMBOK, "The objectives of Project Risk Management are to increase the probability and impact of positive events and decrease the probability and impact of events adverse to the project." The framework of the agile software development process fosters these objectives by making risk management an intrinsic part of the project lifecycle. Continuously identifying, analyzing, monitoring, and responding to risk triggers and risk events are part of the agile team's iterative planning discussions, which is to say that risks are addressed by everybody all the time. Daily stand-ups, iteration planning meetings, release planning meetings, and retrospective and review meetings are all venues for risk management activities on an agile project.
Agile teams can perform these risk management activities either overtly or organically. Overt risk management on an agile team is clearly stated as such, and things are labeled as risks, mitigation, etc. Organic risk management is that which is intrinsic to the agile process, and risk management emerges out of iterative planning and review activities. Potential risks are instead labeled as "obstacles," "assumptions," or "concerns." In the following examples I'll cite both overt and organic techniques used by agile teams.
Risk-Management Planning
The goal of risk management planning in the PMBOK is to create a plan that describes how the team will do risk management during the course of the project. In an agile environment there is no need to create a formal risk management plan; the method of addressing risk is built into agile procedures. The only decision the team may need to make is whether to conduct risk management activities overtly or organically.
Risk Identification
In traditional project environments, risk identification is conducted in meetings with only a subset of the team members, who use checklists, document reviews, assumption analysis, and various other information gathering techniques to identify project risks and record them in a risk register (what we commonly call a "spreadsheet"). In an agile environment, the whole team does this exercise on an iterative basis during planning meetings, recording results on whiteboards or flipcharts. If the agile team is managing risk overtly, then an agenda item for the team to identify and prioritize risks is included as part of the meeting, with the results influencing the work that is being planned for that iteration. If the agile team is managing risk organically, then potential risks are identified as part of the agenda items "What assumptions are we making?" and "What concerns do we have?" (see Figure 1). Risks continue to be identified daily as part of stand-up meetings, either as obstacles (organic) or new risks (overt).
Risk Analysis
Traditional projects use both quantitative analysis (assigning real numbers to the costs of safeguards and the amount of damage that can occur) and qualitative analysis (using judgment, intuition, and experience in determining risks and potential losses). Agile projects generally perform only qualitative analysis, agile's short development cycles and constant reviews making this feasible and effective. The end result in both cases is a prioritized list of risks to respond to and risks to watch. In an agile environment these emerge from the planning meetings and are posted in a highly visible fashion, as a constant reminder to the team.
Risk Response Planning
Developing options and actions to reduce threats and increase opportunities is performed in both traditional and agile environments. The key difference is that in an agile environment the entire team participates in developing options and actions to reduce threats, a task that is conducted with more frequency than is common in traditional plan-driven projects. Many agile teams doing overt risk management follow Tom DeMarco

help with my damn dodge!!!!
all right here goes, I have a 2000 ram 2500 with a 5.9 in. It started missing when it get wet. I checked for codes and its thowing a loss of cam/crank signal. I replaced both sensors and it's still doing the same thing. I replaced the coil, still there. Got a wire diagrahm and checked all grounds, still does it. Just for fun I put all new injectors and cleaned the fuel rail, still runs like shit, but i get better mileage.
One friend says change the computer. Another says it's a bushing at the bottom of the distributer.
Here is the deal. It's a 2000 truck and I don't have the cash to just keep swapping parts till I find it.
CAN ANYONE HELP? Feel free to post a replay, but please pm it to me also.

ran a new wire from computer to the coil and new power wire on the coil still there. Ordered a new computer, I hope thats it. If not I will go flat blacks way and probably just replace the whole distrib. as I tried to change the cap and both the screw that hold the cap on have rust welded themselves on and I am pretty sure they will break if I force them off, thanks to both of you for the help.

i would get that cap off of there and replace it! with a new rotor before buyen a computer! theres one bolt holding the dist. down and chryslers only go in 2 ways just make some marks.they dont have a gear or the bottem! its like a flat head screwdriver. the computer controls the timing so just get it close to where it was and you will be fine. caps like 15$ and the rotors like 8$ alot cheeper then a computer!!!

put the computer in and it didn't fix anything. going to fight with the distributer tomorrow. getting a new cam sensor, cap, and rotor for it. Already put new plugs and wires on it. If still tmissing I will have to buy the dist. and from there I will just give up and go to the dealer.

flat black owes me money then, replaced the pick up coil, distributor, and crank sensor. did not fix anything.now its clicking and on the old crank sensor it looks like the flex plate may have been rubbing on it. Maybe a cracked flex plate? I don't know this is going to send me to the poor house chaseing parts tho. I gues s I have to drop the trans next, maybe a new motor. Is this truck worth all this?

unplug your 02's sounds similar to what I was dealing with on my 95, and you've done most of the stuff I had, turned out my o2 sensor was bad, made it miss burn excessive fuel and try and stall when I was driving it.

pokerrob, it has been at several shops and I was trying to avoid throwing parts at it, look what happened anyway. The guy who is working on it know is a trouble shooter for chrysler. This has stumped alot of people including a dealer. I have not been doing all this myself. The dealer said it was the computer and replaced that and the wire harness, didn't work. I did the fuel injectors, fuel rail, and coil. And so on. It has been to 2 shops, a dealer, and now my friend. The dealer was just too much $. The Midas it went to couldn't fix anything and said it was over them. Then went to the dealer, then the shop in walled lake. Everybody has a guess and want to throw parts at it. The problem is That still does not fix it and they still want me to pay for parts and labor.
And freak, thanks for the advice, but already replaced both 02 sensors at the shop in walled lake and they said they are reading correct and thats no the issue. My friend that trouble shoots for chrysler thinks its a cracked pressure plate and it is hitting the crank position sensor throwing the code. problem is We have to r&r the trans to find out, could not see anything after loosing the inspection plate.

Im assuming over the course of all this the plugs wires and cap and rotor were all changed. Also its is somwhat common to get bad PCMs and sensors out of the box. You may want to contact chrysler and see what they can due to help you with repairs that were performed at the dealer if I read that right.

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. -- Junior Rob Lovejoy made his 2012 debut Saturday night at College of Charleston (6-8-0) and made an immediate impact as he tallied a hat trick in No. 2 UNC's (11-1-1) 3-0 win.
After missing the first half of the season due to offseason surgery, Lovejoy came on as a substitute in the 31st minute and needed less than 10 minutes to make his presence felt.
Carolina earned four straight corner kicks in the 37th minute before finally breaking through on the fourth attempt.
Danny Garcia's inswinging corner nearly crossed the end line before Jordan Gafa headed a ball toward the middle of the box. Jonathan Campbell headed the ball far post but it was deflected before Lovejoy tipped home the game's opening goal.
Less than three minutes later Lovejoy struck again. The junior forward corralled a loose ball in the attacking third and dribbled into the box on the right flank past a Cougar defender.
Lovejoy tapped the ball to his left and struck a left-footed shot that skipped into the goal in the 41st minute to put Carolina in front 2-0.
The two-goal lead would hold up into halftime as the Tar Heels kept possession throughout and held a 9-1 shot advantage at the break.
Carolina played its suffocating style of play in the second half and maintained possession before Lovejoy struck again in the final minutes.
The Greensboro, N.C., native ran onto a free ball 25 yards from goal and broke in on the goalkeeper on the left flank.
Lovejoy unleashed a shot that found the back of the net once again to put the Tar Heels in front 3-0.
The hat trick was the first by a Tar Heel since Alex Dixon tallied three times against Stetson on Oct. 18, 2009.
The Tar Heel defense notched their fourth straight shutout Saturday night to improve to 11-1-1 on the year. Carolina ran its unbeaten streak to seven straight matches.
Goalkeeper Scott Goodwin posted his 10th clean sheet of the year as he turned away the Cougars lone shot on target.
Up next for the Tar Heels is a No. 1 vs. No.2 battle at Maryland next Friday, Oct. 19 at 6 p.m. on ESPNU.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
He sounds like a lucky man.....It's hard to find a good Hoe...The last Hoe I used ,burnd me...
I believe it...if forced too and theres enough current to push it, electricity will always find ground...but it also always takes the path of least resistance, Thats why birds can sit on power lines without being electrocuted...its easier to go through the wire...
|Old Fool
My father (a lineman for 37 years) watched his next door neighbor hit a power line with his back hoe. the line tangled, and in a very short period of time the tires caught on fire from the current passing through them to ground. (It was not raining either)
Poor old Bing watched his hoe burn to the ground.
|I'm kinda glad it was brought up. I learned a little today..its amazes me that I have painted cars for over thirty years and know so little about the paint itself..and how its made.Dam Barry, now I feel like a dumas.but still....i dont think the carbon content of dark paint is the reason for the electric companies mostly using white ,the trucks are still made of steel and have rubber tires. maybee its cheaper to buy white trucks ?????? the way carbon conducts electricity would have nothing to do with why they dont have dark colored trucks...lightining dosent strike dark or metalic colored cars any more frequently than white cars ...matter of fact......a car (of any color) is the safest place to be in a lightening storm.and if you come across a downed power line you stay in or car....LOL , may god strike me down if I'm lying .....I'm standing on wood....just in case....
This thread was started almost SIX years ago, and has been dormant for four and a half, until now.
So it's a little late to give advice about the guy's paint job, I think
Might want to check those dates from now on.
and why would you not use the correct amount of hardner?
that be your problem.
for whatever it is worth at this late date, I had exactly the same problem with a car I painted several years ago, My problem worked like this....I was Painting a corolla a candy purple, (Urethane) did all bodywork, sanded primed, sealed, put first coat down waited a short while, put second coat, waited put third waited put 2 coats of clear, I normally wait a 72 hours and wet sand, let sit a few days (depends on temp, lets material breath) then put last coat of clear, Yeah, I know, but remember, everyone has their pet ways.....
Anyway, when I came in the next morning half of the car looked like it was 90 years old, wrinkles. I contacted the dupont people 'cause I had never had this problem before, they came to my shop and examined the vehicle,..couldn't come to a conclusion, replaced the material I had used and went away.
I realized a day or so later that I had NOT put hardner in the second pot of clear I had put on in the first coat. The second coat of clear had worked good but the first coat was never going to dry
And, I got the same thing as already mentioned above a week later you could still put a fingernail dent in th e paint.
So, what I am saying is you may have made the same mistake or possibly not used enough catalyst in your paint or clear.
just another point of view
|You are right, that has all been discussed.
While I agree with some of what I have heard, has anyone mentioned mixing the paint wrong? I have seen this where the hardener and reducer amounts were switched by mistake by one of my painters before, or if they were not paying attention. Also, if the hardener was bad so just the top surface dried, but the paint had not hardened underneath. The paint finish dies back, you buff it shiny , dies back etc...
|i guess i finally figured out why the guy who painted my cars says never to wax them. i have a similar wrinkled surface on the very back of my rear spoiler and only on the left side. i am glad you have all reached a concensus that a wet sand/buff in a couple days or weeks will fix it. i havent told him about it. it was three weeks after it was painted that i picked it up. it was painted about 3 weeks ago. he said he really laid the clear on thick
Ill post my upcoming paint job up on here experiment and we will see if the same thing happens. Ill be using a 10 cfm compressor.
Chris, you need to read the responses to your posts better. Barry and I both have been telling you exactly what you have just said. ALL of these factors had something to do it. You have layed out a number of the reasons we have said you can end up with trapped solvents.
1. Too little CFM (poorly atomized paint,clear)
2. Wrong reducer temp for shop temp (it flashes off too slow)
3. We didn't mention it, but OVER REDUCING (again, more solvent means more to flash)
The heat on the one side certainly would make a difference, but you also added more clear to the "colder" side right? Sooooooo, you had the colder temp, over reduced, AND you added another coat.
ALL of these things will cause the exact same thing, trapped solvent.
Along with the lack of CFM, you had "all the planets aligned" for failure.
Even though it appears the black paint didn't play as big a role in this as Barry thought, ALL of the same information he said still applys just as we both have told you. And in fact, even though you waited a good long time between coats of the black, it was shot with too little CFM and the shop was too cold just as I said. This created trapped solvents just as he explained black will is more inclined to do.
Ahhh im pretty sure I found the reason why my paint wrinkled and now I understand what my dad was trying to say.
We have about 100 gallons of air we can store in our compressor and it catches up really easy.
The paint gun uses 10 cfm and our compressor pumps 6.8 cfm. Even though the paint gun will use allot more air.
With flash time in-between coats and the compressor always caught up really easy. In a minute or 2 it would be filled again.
I get what ya ll are tying to say though.
The main problem I think my paint job wrinkled on one side is because when it was out in the sun my dads car which is always out there and was blocking that side from the suns heat.
My brothers CRX was painted during the summer and we used the same reduction, paint, sealer and everything.. BUT!!! It was summertime.. His car was sitting out in the sun 8 hours a day in Las Vegas heat and all the reducer evaporated easier cause of the heat.
Then after a few weeks of that heat the paint really cured. Then they lightly wetsanded it and polished. It hasn't had problems at all.
What do yall think? As you can see in the pic below it does still have great shine... but maybe it just dident cure good enough and as the reducers began to flash in the clear the texture got rough.
Note the paint was done...... wet-sanded and buffed 1 week after the paint was sprayed with not much time out in the sun.
Im just trying to learn what went wrong....
Do yall think that coulda been it?
I know its not the sealer/base/ or color changing paint that caused the wrinkling because the sealer was dusted on very lightly and had 50 mins to dry. The black base was also dusted on in 2 coats. It was then wetsanded and was able to cure for 3 hours cause my folks had to turn the water heater back on. Then the color changing paint was dusted on because its like a pearl and is 160 a quart.
The thing that makes me think it was the clear was because instead of reducing the clear 8-4-1. I reduced it 8-8-1/2. 8 parts clear 8 parts reducer and 1/2 parts hardener. That with a slow reducer I think may have caused problems. THe clear lay-ed down great but just is a little rough now.
The other weird thing is the roughness is on the passenger side and not the drivers side.
I put 1 more coat of clear on the passenger side just to use up the materials and not waste pain.
I think the compressor and me messing around with the paint mixing directions is what went wrong though.
I will be getting new equipment after Christmas anyhow.
like I said the roughness is on only on side of the car the passenger side doors and rear fender. THe small little bumps are noticeable but im sure can be taken down easy with about 6 strokes of 2000 grit. THey are that small.
The only thing thats freaking me out is that I see show cars out here in Vegas that has cut-buff jobs that look rough after a while also.. I dunno ..
This paint game is tricky but ill get it.
Cool harbor fright has a nice low CFM paint gun
Thanks, Chris
I hope you waited at least a month to buff it out and apply wax.
if not the clear will do as you mentioned.
this is according to a body man i know.
reason for this is that the clear is soft and degassing.
for about 2 weeks after application

DSA told me this fall on the inch receivers.
Printable View
DSA told me this fall on the inch receivers.
I contacted DSA this week to place an order for 5 inch pattern receivers. They told me that they were unable to give me a projected completion date at all. I pressed the point and finally was told that they couldn't even commit for delivery in a twelve month time frame. One year! I am not sure what they are doing, but with this much interest, I would think that they would capitalize on the inch market and look into either increasing capacity of their machine time or at least subcontract some of the stuff that is taking up that machine time. One year! I am calling Enterprise next week. One year!
They have limited production capacity, which is being completely used by their own rifle building needs.
At least thats what I hope.
I hope so. I still need 5 of them, but now I don't know where to get them from.
Hello All,
I have used Century, Entreprise and DSA. DSA is tops. Entreprise is is very close behind IMHO. What a lot of folks complain about in regard to Entrepriseis that the receivers are not to spec. But in reality, they are "in spec" for a production line. Which means that there are certain fit and finish operations that need to be completed in order to build a perfect rifle.
I have now built 18 (no, I am not kidding) FAL and L1A1's on Entreprise receivers. All of them have been excellent tack drivers (in "gas shut off mode"). You just have to envision yourself working on a FAL production line, and you have to apply the correct skill to the "raw" part.
DSA is finished to a much closer spec. There is little to do beyond honing and polishing. I have run into the situation where I had no choice but to get an additional bolt or barrel because the "fitted" product just didn't spec out. Still, Very excellent product. Deeper hardning than Entrepris, perhaps more durable in the long run.
Century takes a lot of work. Timing is "challenging". Use the appropriate timing washers. Problem is that you will have to buy several before you start. These are only appropriate in "inch: pattern rifles or IMI. FAL never used them. They are essentially a left-over from the SMLE days. Great if you expect to be repairing a lot of rifles in the field. Definately reduces overall production needs during time of war.
Thats it. Hope it helps.
Bellson :headbang:
Just some info:
Entreprise has recently been collecting photos and cut parts from British pattern L1A1 receivers. They have committed to bringing out a Brit pattern receiver to go along with their existing Australian pattern. (DSA's is also Aussie pattern.)
After reading the above posts on inch receivers I think I may have a problem. I need 24 Aussie cut inch receivers for restoration builds I am doing. I wonder just how many we need to have before either big receiver manufacture will start a run on them?
Any factory reps reading this???
With my needs and what I see just in this thread numbers are pushing a hundred. Other forums out there are also asking these same questions to DSA and Entreprise....
Entreprise has said they were doing another run of Aussies soon. They push harder when they get emails and phonecalls asking for product, so contact them. Ask for Lily.
Another thing...
Entreprise does their left side engraving very shallow, especially if we all ask them to watch this area. There are several engravers out there who have the correct fonts to do proper Lithgow, BSA or Enfield markings. If anyone is trying to replicate historical markings, this is important.
They also offer custom serial numbers so you can match your kit.

After the first defensive snap of the season, Logan linebacker Chasen Andersen hobbled off the field, clutching his knee.
In football, that's the universal sign that something is seriously wrong. Coach Mike Favero was even more concerned than usual, knowing that his senior, one of his top returning players, wouldn't come off the field for just any bump or bruise.
"When Chasen Andersen comes off the field, you know he's hurt," Favero said. "He could tell right away, he felt his knee pop. I was standing right by where it happened, and I could see it in his face."
The first Friday of football is typically reserved for celebration, for excitement. Fans get caught up in tailgate parties, painting their faces or chests, or cheering until their voices grow hoarse. It's a time when everyone has the same record: 0-0. Optimism is almost never higher than before that first snap.
For many teams, those hopes have been validated today. They feel that ever-elusive satisfaction that comes with victory and on-field heroics.
And then there's the knee that pops on the first play of the game.
"It's obviously very disappointing for these guys who have worked their whole football lives to get to their senior year," Favero said. "The injury bug is part of the game. You cross your fingers and hope you don't lose anybody, but it happens."
The injury bug has bitten Logan particularly hard this year: Andersen joins his twin brother, receiver Hagen Andersen, on the disabled list. Caden Andersen, an all-state defensive lineman last season and a Utah State commit, won't even play a down this year after an offseason skateboarding accident threatened his life, not to mention his football career.
But the defending 4A champs are not the only ones who got hit hard on Friday. The Pine View Panthers, a team seeking redemption for an underwhelming 2011 season, had to be cringing as sophomore quarterback Kody Wilstead slammed the turf with his hand as he tried to get up after a run.
When the rest of the team went to the locker room at halftime, much of the coaching staff soberly watched the trainer check Wilstead's injured leg, which the team believes could be fractured. Wilstead is considered a promising passer, potentially a Division I player in the future. And for a 3A team, his talent is impossible to replace.
Still, coach Ray Hosner was relieved to see Pine View keep battling East, despite falling in a 35-0 blowout. There were a few bright spots to pick out.
"Besides a few turnovers and mistakes, I was proud of them," Hosner said. "East is a great team, but we still intercepted them even when we were down 28-0. To me, that says no one's given up. We had adversity, and they faced it."
We should all hope we can face adversity as well as Mike Moorehead, the senior quarterback at West Jordan who went down with a torn ACL with only four minutes left to play against Bingham.
It didn't take long for a diagnosis to come through: out for the season. Coach Mike Morgan said Moorehead was obviously hurt by the news, but has since transferred almost effortlessly into a sideline role.
He went to watch film with the team on Saturday, taking notes and pointing out issues to his replacements.
"You wouldn't even be able to tell he's injured," Morgan said. "Mike Moorehead isn't fazed at all. He knows he'll have an opportunity to play after this, and he's a 4.0 student, so he'll have a future. He's as classy as they come."
This season, there's sure to be more breathtaking plays, and teams will rise and fall. It's the game: It's how football seasons always go. There will be time to enjoy it.
Let's take a minute to reflect on the young men who will have to find out how they fit into that picture the ones who will try to help their teams from the sidelines, wishing that first snap might've gone just a bit differently.

Hey guys, new to the forum and i thought id just ask - what do people suggest for coating the helmet once its been made from cardboard?
Mid build and iv read up about using "spackle paste" in the US, and here in the UK an all purpose filler is pretty much the same thing as far as i can tell, but is there any other suggestions people could suggest that wouldnt be as brittle - or a coating once its been done that might give it a bit more durability?
The costumes got to hold up behind a bar all night whilst im working, and not that im intending on throwing it around or anything, but i want it to at least be able to take a bit of a knock or 2 if i catch a shelf without it cracking :)
Cheers again, Chris

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|growing up in NY,winters were mostly spent finding things to do with ourselves.That soul hunter reminded me of a time when my friends and I "borrowed" Six VW hoods (from the foreign car salvage yard very close by)to go sledding with on the biggest hill around. Nobody ever went there because of all the trees (big pines) and the speed you generated going down it(especially with four or five friends pushing).But I swore there was a safe path and showed everybody where it was.After a lot of convincing talk we all agreed it could be done but nobody wanted to go first.Well it was only right that I volunteered,so I got on that hood and my budds gladly pushed.the snow was deep and fresh so I made it,but didnt go very fast,now everyone was lining up to be next.the next guy went a lot faster because the snow was packed a little,but hit a tree,he hopped off just in time.Now we were ALL having a blast cause everyone knew they were going to crash and each one was hilarious....We spent all day there with only minor injuries until my spectacular wipeout,a couple guys tripped while pushing causing me to spin all the way down,I couldnt jump off because I didnt know what I'd be jumping into so I held tight closing my eyes and saying my prayers when I slammed into the big pine "backwards"...After catching my breath back which seemed like forever,I couldnt move or straighten up so they pulled me home on that same hood delivering me to my mom,it took a week before I could straighten up,and the cops were looking for the hood thieves so finding a bug hood in my front lawn was a sure give away to the ring leader,fortunately the after hearing the story the owner of the junk yard didnt have the heart to press charges,he thought I learned my lesson.....he was wrong....years later,my son broke his leg on that same hill...Where do kids come up with all this stuff? I never said a word....But the nuts dont fall far from the tree...
wow, thanks dinger.
i tried to word it so the readers could try to imagine themselves' fighting the mosquitoes and sweating from the heat and humidity just trying to get out.
we had a lot of fun with that old beetle, (which is why i used "same beetle, chapter 7.") though some of it we didn't call fun when it was happening.
we probably should have gotten killed more than a few times in that thing, but but by surviving i feel that shows there is a higher power.
in my youth, i did things that i would not even think about trying today,(and i don't want to push my luck with that higher power)
back then i used to tell people that life starts at the edge, come join me.
now i say life may start at the edge, but i've been there and got scared, and im not going back, EVER, LOL.
that running frame sounds like it was some contraption, sounds like it was fun haha.
i think us older guys are lucky, we had access to vehicles that were simple to repair and easy to find parts for that you could sometimes pay for just by picking up coke bottles for a few hours.
there are so many times i wish there had been camcorders back then.
Soul Hunter, these should be in a book of short stories, you have a way with words, I can almost see the picture in my mind...hilarious. I think the reason I connect with your stories is that we had a vehicle, old chevy, just a frame, running gear and a couple of VW seats bolted down to the frame. we used to climb Poplar trees with it. Then the Buick convertible my old body shop owner owned, my buddy and I mounted a siren on it, scared the bejesus out of a few folks, had to hide it in the woods for a cooling off period, the sheriffs were hunting for it, came to the shop twice looking. Getting passed by a 62 Buick Wildcat at 90 mph with the siren going, top down, bondo and primer all over the body, some folks just didn't see any humor in that.
It's funny how stuff we do as kids are humorous, but adults doing these things would just be dummarses...
INTERIORS, im glad you brought this topic up in the first place.
there are some good stories in here.
and thinking about it brings back sooo many good memories for me, and a few that weren't so good.
i think i'll share another one.
same beetle, chapter 7.
we were in a different area of the same woods about a year later, so its hot
it had been raining most of the week and the mosquitoes were out in full force, plus they brought friends along too.
we had brought the girlfriends along and let them drive some.
we got there around 4 PM or so trying to avoid some of the heat.
we had been out running the trails for the better part of the evening. it had been going great, we didn't get stuck, break anything or have any flats.
it was getting a little late, close to midnight or so and we figured we should
head home.
there was a pretty steep hill that we had to go up. it started out with about about a 45 degree angle for about 60 feet, then angled up to almost 90 degrees for the last 10 feet or so. you had to really hit it to make over the top, so my lunatic buddy was driving.
we knew that we couldn't make with 4 people in the car, we had already tried it on another trip and got sideways and ended up rolling back down.
the only other way out was pretty long and had some really bad mud holes that we didn't want to risk at night. so he took the girls up one at a time while i waited at the bottom. he made the first 2 trips up just fine.
he came back down and got me, we got almost to the top and lost first gear. the car rolled backwards down the hill. near the bottom was a tree. the dirt was washed out on the uphill side of that tree and the back of the car planted itself in that hole with the top of the car against the tree. the front end of the car was pointed straight up at the sky.
it had to be a sight watching us climb out of the car, nothing to hold on to on a wet muddy hill. we both slid the last few to the bottom of the hill. being so slick and muddy was why i didn't try to walk up it to begin with.
we pulled the cable out from the wench and got the tow strap out and tied it off to a tree at the top. the strap broke before we got much of a pull. we tied it back together and it broke again. now it was too short to reach.
so, me and my girl friend started walking out, it was about about 4 miles
back to the car.
the flash light went dead a few minutes after we started out and of course the spare light bulb was gone. i don't know about you, but i just love walking in the woods at night with no light. did i mention there were snakes in those woods?
there were no chains in my buddy's truck or in my car, so we made the hour
drive home. my girl said we should take my truck back and drive in, but i wasn't about to take my truck in the woods, i swear it would get stuck just by the sight of mud (another story). i put some chains in the car and headed back.
i didn't feel like walking back in carrying 50 feet of chains, so thru the woods
we go, in a Vega station wagon, with the A/C going. we got back to the hill and my buddy and his girl friend were tripping out that i drove my car in, and made it back there.
we managed to get the beetle winched up the hill without any problems, but
now it wouldn't start. fuel from the gas tank had filled the motor up. we didn't have a plug socket or oil.
by this time it was around 10 or 11 in the mourning and it was starting to get
hot. the mosquitoes were really mad we had invaded their territory and were
calling reinforcements in. we were all wishing it would start raining for some relief.
man was i glad i drove my car in there.
on the way to the parts house for a drain pan and oil, we stopped and got some more OFF and some food and drinks.
by the time we got back my buddy had the oil/gas drained, he wasn't the
brightest bulb in the room, and this was before the eco-wackos were running
wild everywhere, so i'll let you figure out where he drained it at.
from all mosquito bites, my buddy and his GF looked they had fell into something and it had chewed them up.
i pulled the plugs and spun the motor over to clear it out. put the plugs back in, oil in, gas in and it fired right off.
on the trip out there wasn't any surprises. but, on the way home, my buddy got pulled over for no tags on the trailer. when they got out of the truck, the cops took one look at him and his girl friend and took pity, they said sorry and let them go.
|That remind's me of my older brother,He changed the oil in his old fairlane,HE drained the oil,While he was standing there waiting for the oil to drain,One of his friends Drove up and started talking,Well the guy's that was in the other car,Started pumping him up for a race..My so called older brother said,OK !!! let me just put the oil back in..Well he did put it in !!! But it just drained right back out..And he took off.Well let's just say,He didn't get to race.But He sure did get it from our step daddy... My step Daddy didn't like him either.. Well he didn't like anyone.. Mostly me...And he made sure that my brother knew how to change oil after that...LOL
|I'm still trying to figure out what Moontanker put in his Pops' car! Great stuff, laffed my arse off. the mental pic of Soulhunter stuck in the trees and the truck in the dugout, things I wish I would have had the juevos to do....
I hope not
No I don't think you ruined it..Some people just don't want anyone to know..Thread's like this won't pull everyone,Because there's no one fighting on this one.. Most people like the ''Drama'' here..
And plus...There's a lot of member's here that just don't ''ever'' post on my Thread's.. And they know who they are !!!! And I do too !!!
|Wow. I guess what I said ruined it for everybody
Ok. Not sure how crazy this is but it was crazy to us...
This one time when I was 16 me and my buddys piled into his Old's 98 and made some probably illigal explosives out of tin foil and The Works, so were driving on some back roads throwing these thngs out the window and watching them explode behind us when we decide to go pick up a friend of mine at his house in the backwoods, well we get there and pull in his driveway and he comes out and we're talking for alittle while untill he said Hey man I think your car's overheating. We look toward the front of the car and see what looks like steam coming out from underneath the hood. We pop the hood and see flames. So we start trying to put them out with a towel because thats all we had. Then since I was wearing a coat they told me to use it. I yelled It's my favorite jacket! And it was, but his car was on fire so I tried using it, but the dam thing caught on fire too then someone went and got a five gallon bucket of water dumped it on the car and the fire went out. We found out that somehow excess oil came out of the filler cap landed on the exhaust manifold and got hot enough to light the plastic engine cover on fire and burn the plug wires. So we're freaking out because we didn't want his dad to find out any of it. Then we remembered there is a junk Chevy Celebrity in his backyard so we went and got the plug wires and oil filler cap put them on, luckily thats all it burned other than the plastic engine cover, drove it home. Parked it around back and since this wasn't my buddys primary car, he didn't say anything. Then two weeks later we traded it to a guy for our band's drums and bass equipment, Long story short..We're still rockin' everyones fine, and the car never did that to the new owner. Now when I wear the jacket I just say it was burned in a car fire... and I ain't never getting rid of it... It's cooler now then ever.LOL.
slipping tranny
I was 8 or so when pop told me to change the oil in the packard and as usual I hopped to it without any further direction,my old man figured us kids came fully equiped to know everything.So I drained the oil and filled the engine with the cans he sat along side the car.Its done pop, I told him and later he went smoking down the road.Soon he came back,engine racing and him barely moving.the rest is history and I thought I would be too for a long time after that.Nice packard too.
|LOL every time a cop past me I'd look in the rearview,if I saw smoke from him locking up the brakes ,I floored it,being from a small town,they just went to my house after I lost them,then there was the dirt bike thing,and the snow mobile thing,and of course the hitch hicking thing too......seems I was always in trouble for sumtin
More stupid, than crazy...
9,500rpms in 5th gear, in my '79 RX-7 Widebody that used to be used in the IMSA Racing series, that got converted back to street legality.
I'd guess it to be around 180.
The crazy part was all the tickets that ensued.
Excessive Speeding
Felony Speeding
Reckless Driving
Reckless Endangerment
Illegal Lane Usage
Illegal Lane Change
No Turn Signal
Evasion from Police Officers
Eluding Police Officers
Street Racing
Excessive Display of Power
Illegal Exhaust
Improper Seatbelts (5-point harnesses)
Use of non-DOT approved tires on a public highway (Kumho VictoRacers, which ARE DOT-approved)
Improper Display of Front License Plate
Improper Lighting of Rear License Plate
A REALLY good lawyer, $8,000, and 2 years without a license later....
And all that stuck was excessive speeding.
I'd NEVER even THINK about doing something that stupid again.
|full mcgillicutty
At the end of my senior year, right before going into the Corps. I had the absolutely fantastic idea to run my 63 Chevy step-side around the school's running track and have my friend (partner in crime) run the stop watch to see just how much I could improve.
Now, this was about midnight on a Saturday and I probably would have gotten away with this if I had not said "okay, one last lap and we'll get out of here."
The last lap just HAD to be faster than all the other laps...so, I really let it hang out.
Well, I lost control of the truck and went sliding rear first into the baseball dugout.
My Father owned a wrecker service at that time. So, my friend and I hoofed it all the way to my house. Climbed into Dad's wrecker and slowly droving it down the road, hoping not to wake up the old man.
Well, it was not quiet enough, Dad thought someone was stealing is wrecker (technically someone was I guess) so he called the cops.
I'll give you one guess where the cops found the "stolen" wrecker...Yep, about 20 feet from my previous crime. They got me backing through the gates to retrieve my poor old pickup.
Needless to say, no one was extra thrilled with my actions. Fortunately for me, times were different than they are today. This was a small town and almost everyone knew everyone else.
Since I was going into to service, I was cut a TON of slack (judge was a Marine) and a deal was worked out. My Dad's Brother my uncle) was a carpenter and fixed the dug out. I sent him a check every month until it was paid for in full.
I think back to stuff like that and I am amazed at how little thought I gave things before doing them.
I still have that 63 truck by the way.

I wonder if I could ask for advice on how best to handle this very awkward situation.
I live in a little granny flat next door to a large farmhouse and the occupants of the farmhouse (in their mid 70's) are our landlord and landlady. We've rented the granny flat for 3 years now and love it. We both get on with them both, although OH is more friendly and sociable than I am and so he gets quite chatty with them whereas I don't really stick around long enough to chat. OH is particularly friendly with the landlord, but less so with the landlady (who I haven't been overly keen on from the start due to nosiness and bossiness and trying to mother us both). She's not a horrible person by any means, but I just never warmed to her.
Anyway, we have an electric meter in our house which is connected to their house and we discovered not long after we moved in that they entered our house when we were away from home and removed the 50ps from the meter. I wasn't at all impressed I couldn't see why it couldn't be done when we were home and felt it was rather an invasion of privacy and it upset me, but OH and I felt we didn't want to upset them and so we let it go. I wasn't at all happy and am always nervous about the state of the house every time we left the house (it's not terribly messy, but things do pile up during the week and then I'll have a good clean every weekend).
Once we came back home and the key they use had been left in the front door (which hadn't been locked). We took it round and the landlady said she'd been to get our 50p's and had forgotten the key. She didn't seem concerned that she'd left the key and that she hadn't locked our house up afterwards.
On another occasion we had asked the landlord to pop in and take a look at a leak in our sink (we rent, so we're not allowed to mess) and I had happened to leave a small pile of dust in the hallway, which I was going to clear up when we had bought a dustpan and brush later that day (we didn't have a hoover and we had managed to lose our dustpan and brush somewhere - later found up the loft!) When we got home, the landlord had indeed looked at our sink and fixed it ... but the pile of dust had been swept up. Now, I know some people will be all 'she was only trying to help', but I found it rude to be honest and it was as if we couldn't look after ourselves. I was not a happy bunny.
She has also just strolled into our house whilst we were eating dinner with our washing basket (we have to do our washing a little outhouse and pay extra when we do a wash). She said she'd knocked, but that didn't excuse the fact that she'd just waltzed in and we were perfectly capable of fetching the bloody washing ourselves.
We did come back off a holiday once and our bathroom had been 'touched up' with white grouting. I didn't mind that so much as the fact that our bath mat had got a big bleach stain on it.
When we're in the house we are now in the habit of locking it from the inside and then leaving our key in the lock - this way you obviously can't open it from the other side. This is because she once strolled into the house when I was off sick and in bed unwell.
She will also randomly move our front door mat and has told us it's because it is raining and it gets wet When we got home today it has done a vanishing act again and there has been no sign of rain all day.
When we got home from work today their key was in our front door and the door was unlocked.
My OH took the key next door and, again, she was unconcerned about having left our home unlocked and with the key still in the door. When asked what she had wanted in our house she said ....
"I needed some milk so I went in to see if you had any."
I don't think I need to state any more other than that when OH told me I went into what I think was a state of shock and burst into tears and have been really shook up since.
Talk about a blatant invasion of privacy and total disregard about our property. For MILK?! Not even something remotely life-saving or urgent.
I'm absolutely horrified and have told OH that we now have to take action and advise them that they must not enter our property unless we are home. We have absolutely no problem with them coming in to check on things or collect the money, but there is no reason whatsoever that they cannot do this when we are at home.
It's so difficult though because we don't want to antagonise them, as we're happy where we are and don't need to move yet. We're worried about them deciding to give us notice to leave if we upset them, but I'm afraid we've definitely got to do something now or she'll just continue to use our home as she pleases.
Still in shock about it to be honest.
Sorry if it doesn't seem like a lot to some of you, but it shook me to the core and I felt like I was going to be sick. The thought of her going through our cupboards and looking at all our private belongings and the mess ...
I just wondered how best to handle this. OH says he will speak to the landlord, but I did wonder if I should inform the letting agency so that they can at least log this in our 'notes' in case of future problems. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by chillfan23, Jul 19, 2010.
Who do you see as the starting 5 next season? Are the playoffs a possibility?
C - Big Ben F - Jerebko SF - Tayshaun SG - RIP PG - Stuckey No.
Stuckey-Rip-Tay-JJ-Wallace Nothing changed since last season and therefore I don't expect Q to alter his starting lineup. Off the bench: Bynum, Gordon, JMax, CV. A little bit of Monroe and a little bit of Daye. Summers, White & Wilcox will be handing off gatorade to others. Playoffs are not a possibility.
I forgot to add, we'll have Chris Paul replacing Stuckey at the PG after the trade deadline.
woah, wheres the faith haha...the east will be ALOT weaker at the bottom this year...so i think itll make it easier for the pistons to get into the play offs...I mean the cavs arent making it...
I'll go way out on a limb with my picks.... Stuckey, Ben, Prince, CV, and Monroe with Bynum, Daye, JJ, (player traded for max and Rip), and Wallace all getting quality mins
Stuckey Rip Tay GM Big Ben BTW, Rip+Max= $17 mil in annual pay. Who would take that?
I'll do three. First Preseason game: Stuckey Rip Tayshaun Jerebko Wallace 2 or 3 weeks into the season Stuckey Rip Tayshaun Monroe Wallace After the All star Break Stuckey Gordon Tayshaun Monroe Gasol With Daye getting alot of minutes at 2 off the bench
Yes, Shemp Gasol. He's Pau and Marc's brother.
i thought that was the one that didn't even take basketball seriously? or maybe i'm thinking of another gasol...who knows...:nerd2:
Hi All, i was away for long time. I was looking forward seeing huge names on the roaster... who did we trade CB for? where are the big names? i am so disappointed
I agree with your prediction that Joe will indeed sign Shemp Gasol. I put him somwhere between Pau and Marc ability wise. He does have the coolest nickname out of the three brothers though ("Detlef Shemp").
does anyone have a link about Shemp? because I've never heard of him
In addtion to signing shemp, the pistons could also work a deal to get the bigger Marc Gasol as his contract is expiring, and the grizzlies might be crazy enough to move him so they can make way for the emergence of Hasheem Thabeet.
Shrewd Joe Dumars has confiscated all links on Shemp Gasol so other teams (even the one he is currently playing for in Europe) don't find out about him. It is a first in the history of the internets.
I think the biggest mame on the roaster is Joe D...
We didn't trade CB. We cut him in half to make two players out of him. We put all the shooting skills (and not much else) into one half. We put whatever talent was left in the other one and then stretched him about 6-7" to make a PF. As the volume increased, the talent density went down and his hair fell off.
You said it! No need for me to. But I do think we have a sbot at and will get the 8th spot with a sub 500 record, you know just enough to keep us 2 slots away from drafting the player we really need........AGAIN!
Cleveland will make the playoffs..
Separate names with a comma.

March 3, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee volleyball freshman Jamie Lea was recognized as the Outstanding Female Athlete at the 8th Annual African-American Image Awards produced by the Black Cultural Programming Committee.
"It is such an honor to be recognized by my class and peers for this award," Lea said. "I thank God for blessing me with my talent, my teammates and coaches for helping me to achieve this award, and my family and friends for supporting me throughout my freshman season. It was shocking and out of the blue, but I am truly blessed beyond measure. It goes to show that someone is always watching you."
The outside hitter wrapped up her inaugural season at Tennessee with 281 kills, averaging a team-best 2.99 kills per set. She also had 58 blocks, averaging 0.62 per set, third-best on the team. The Efland, N.C., native missed six matches due to a sprained ankle, but came back to average 2.50 kills per set and 0.57 blocks per set in SEC action.
In conjunction with the Black Cultural Programming Committee, BCPC, Diva Opals, and the Kappa Chi chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, the African-American Image Awards seeks to acknowledge the accomplishments and achievements of students of color.
Lea was voted on by students, faculty, staff and the public in the category of Outstanding Female Athlete, winning over women's basketball's Isabelle Harrison and Andraya Carter, and track & field's Amirah Johnson.

Prime numbers miscellaneous
From HaskellWiki
For a context to this, please see Prime numbers.
Implicit Heap
The following is an original implicit heap implementation for the sieve of
Eratosthenes, kept here for historical record. The Prime_numbers#Tree Merging with Wheel section above simplifies it, removing the
People a structure altogether, and improves upon it by using a folding tree structure better adjusted for primes processing, and a wheel optimization.
See also the message threads Re: "no-coding" functional data structures via lazyness for more about how merging ordered lists amounts to creating an implicit heap and Re: Code and Perf. Data for Prime Finders for an explanation of the
People a structure that makes it work.
data People a = VIP a (People a) | Crowd [a] mergeP :: Ord a => People a -> People a -> People a mergeP (VIP x xt) ys = VIP x $ mergeP xt ys mergeP (Crowd xs) (Crowd ys) = Crowd $ merge xs ys mergeP xs@(Crowd (x:xt)) ys@(VIP y yt) = case compare x y of LT -> VIP x $ mergeP (Crowd xt) ys EQ -> VIP x $ mergeP (Crowd xt) yt GT -> VIP y $ mergeP xs yt merge :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] -> [a] merge xs@(x:xt) ys@(y:yt) = case compare x y of LT -> x : merge xt ys EQ -> x : merge xt yt GT -> y : merge xs yt diff xs@(x:xt) ys@(y:yt) = case compare x y of LT -> x : diff xt ys EQ -> diff xt yt GT -> diff xs yt foldTree :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> a foldTree f ~(x:xs) = x `f` foldTree f (pairs xs) where pairs ~(x: ~(y:ys)) = f x y : pairs ys primes, nonprimes :: [Integer] primes = 2:3:diff [5,7..] nonprimes nonprimes = serve . foldTree mergeP . map multiples $ tail primes where multiples p = vip [p*p,p*p+2*p..] vip (x:xs) = VIP x $ Crowd xs serve (VIP x xs) = x:serve xs serve (Crowd xs) = xs
nonprimes effectively implements a heap, exploiting lazy evaluation.

Arsène Wenger believes Arsenal should be happy with their efforts against Marseille in the Champions League this season.
Wenger's side took four points from their two fixtures against the French giants, claiming a last-gasp victory in Marseille before battling for a point at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
Results so far have left Arsenal in control of Group F and Wenger says his players have plenty to be pleased about.
"It is satisfactory, yes," he told Arsenal Player. "Let's be positive as well, the win over there was a bit lucky in the last minute and here we were a bit unlucky but overall four points out of six is a good result.
"We are in a very tough group but we are top of it at the moment. I feel on chances we deserved to win the game, although we lacked a little spark.
"We were on such a high on Saturday [at Chelsea] that maybe we were a little fraction off what we can do and sometimes in the Champions League that is not enough.
"But overall we still had a decent performance - a good defensive performance - and we sustained the pressure until the end. We had opportunities to win the game but we only took a point.
"It keeps our run going and that is very positive. We don't concede defeat and that is what we continue to do."
The full interview with the boss is now available on Arsenal Player.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

text: Stand Up for Education! The good news: The Senate economic recovery bill is slightly better for education than the "compromise" proposed last week, so educators' phone calls and e-mails made a difference. The bad news: The Senate version still spends billions less on education than the House bill, so we can't let up now! The differences will be resolved in a House-Senate conference committee, probably by Friday, February 13. Please ask your Massachusetts members of Congress right now to urge conference committee members to push for the House education spending plan. Just go to www.massteacher.org/congress to send your messages. [Not a Massachusetts resident? Visit the NEA Legislative Action Center, http://www.nea.org/lac] The Senate package includes $1.13 billion less than the House bill for education in Massachusetts over two years. (There is $1.41 billion in the Senate bill versus $2.54 billion in the House legislation.) One vital difference is that the Senate bill provides nothing for modernizing schools and public higher education facilities, while the House bill would give Massachusetts hundreds of millions of dollars for badly needed renovations and construction projects. Our message is: Support the House education spending plan – it's better for communities, the economy and our students. Investment in education stimulates the economy immediately by saving and creating jobs. Education funding reaches every community in the nation and is targeted to those areas with the greatest needs. Spending on education is an investment in the future as well as a short-term stimulus, and therefore is a win-win for the economy.


text: I have a '89 Sierra SCSB 305 5spd that got parked when the 2nd kid arrived, and officially neglected by the 3rd. Now, my oldest is getting her license and can't wait to call it "hers". The repairs are planned for this spring, and she'll be turnin' wrenches right along side of me. I've had big plans for it, but we'll start with just getting it road worthy and go from there. More than a few folks have tried to buy it over the years, but I just won't let it go - too good of a truck. It needs a rad support, brakes, and rear springs, but I've been eyeing a complete cab a few zip codes over that would make body repairs easier. Look, two more saved from the shreader! Of course, there's also the '58 Jaguar MK I Saloon that I picked up last year (yes, dear, I know...) just to keep it out of the scrap pile. I'd never seen one before; I just wanted to look at it; the guy took $100 and helped me load it - what would you do? The grille alone goes for 3 on the net... This'll be the kids-are-all-gone project - restored body/interior, custom frame, SBC, triple duece, cut outs through the front fenders... Keeping the front line stuff running is priority, but you love the older vehicles for getting you this far. By the way, Da Bus is still running strong, been to countless ballgames and wedding parties, but still isn't painted. KH

'As for his night Grigorenko said, "I felt good. I'm in pretty good shape, I skated well today. I had a few good chances, but couldn't score. Thanks to my partners, they created so many chances for me and it's an honor to play with those guys so I'm really happy to be on this line and this team."'
