BBS CHs in 17"? I thought they only came in 18+?
In other news, does anybody want to trade a slightly modded e30 325is or stock //M3 for a heavily modded 1971 Datsun 510? I am absolutely serious.. I need an e30.

I decided to tell you what my dream survival gun battery would consist of. Now, I want to start by stating that I DO NOT HAVE many of these items. I dont even have a few of them. But, I can dream, cant I?
My first choice would be two M1A/M14 assault rifles in .308/7.6251 NATO caliber. I would prefer that these be stainless steel. Along with these two rifles, I would like to have 10,000 rounds of ammo.
I would also desire two M4s or AR15s in .223/5.56. Again stainless, along with 10,000 rounds of ammo.
I want 2 Ruger 10/22s in stainless steel. Inasmuch as I want handguns in this caliber, I would want at least 50,000 rounds of ammo.
Two good pump shotguns--Mossberg or Remington, preferably. I could also go with some other makes as long as they are quality. I would want 5,000 rounds of bird shot in varying sizes and 500 rounds of buck shot in different sizes.
I really desire two SIG handguns in .45 ACP caliber. And, 2 SIG handguns in 9MM Luger. These would be my tactical choices. I would desire 5,000 rounds of each caliber.
For working handguns I would like 2 Ruger .44 magnum and 2 .357/.38 Special revolvers. 2,000 rounds of ammo for each caliber.
I would like two or more each of .22 revolvers and semi auto hand guns.
For all of these weapons I would want a complete set of spare parts. If tshtf, you wont be able to run to the store to get extras for anything you own. It is also desirable to obtain as many extra high capacity magazines as you can afford. Also, accessories such as holsters, carrying cases, slings, cleaning equipment and tools for repair work.
The reason I want 2 of each is due to the old saying that one is none and two is one. If I could afford to buy all of this equipment, I would bury that biggest part of it in caches scattered around over an area of public land separated by several miles each. Someone might find one but, they might miss the others. And, even if it took all day to walk from one to another, at least you could find some of them still intact.
Again, this is my wish list, but, if wishes were fishes.....
What is yours?

6 Reasons why God May Exist
I'm not quite sure what i beleive in, im still trying to decide... but i will admit this made me think and i enjoyed reading it
Is There a God?
Does God exist? Is there proof of God? The following offers candid, straight-forward reasons to believe in the existence of God...
By Marilyn Adamson
Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe." Well, here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists.
But first consider this. If a person opposes even the possibility of there being a God, then any evidence can be rationalized or explained away. It is like if someone refuses to believe that people have walked on the moon, then no amount of information is going to change their thinking. Photographs of astronauts walking on the moon, interviews with the astronauts, moon rocks...all the evidence would be worthless, because the person has already concluded that people cannot go to the moon.
When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God.1 On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you."2 Before you look at the facts surrounding God's existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know him? Here then, are some reasons supporting the existence of God...
1. The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today. Many examples showing God's design could be given, possibly with no end. But here are a few:
The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's size and corresponding gravity holds a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter.3 Earth is the only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal and human life.
The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. Consider the temperature swings we encounter, roughly -30 degrees to +120 degrees. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze. Any closer and we would burn up. Even a fractional variance in the Earth's position to the sun would make life on Earth impossible. The Earth remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis, allowing the entire surface of the Earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day.
And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull. The moon creates important ocean tides and movement so ocean waters do not stagnate, and yet our massive oceans are restrained from spilling over across the continents.4
Water...colorless, odorless and without taste, and yet no living thing can survive without it. Plants, animals and human beings consist mostly of water (about two-thirds of the human body is water). You'll see why the characteristics of water are uniquely suited to life:
It has an unusually high boiling point and freezing point. Water allows us to live in an environment of fluctuating temperature changes, while keeping our bodies a steady 98.6 degrees.
Water is a universal solvent. This property of water means that thousands of chemicals, minerals and nutrients can be carried throughout our bodies and into the smallest blood vessels.5
Water is also chemically neutral. Without affecting the makeup of the substances it carries, water enables food, medicines and minerals to be absorbed and used by the body.
Water has a unique surface tension. Water in plants can therefore flow upward against gravity, bringing life-giving water and nutrients to the top of even the tallest trees.
Water freezes from the top down and floats, so fish can live in the winter.
Ninety-seven percent of the Earth's water is in the oceans. But on our Earth, there is a system designed which removes salt from the water and then distributes that water throughout the globe. Evaporation takes the ocean waters, leaving the salt, and forms clouds which are easily moved by the wind to disperse water over the land, for vegetation, animals and people. It is a system of purification and supply that sustains life on this planet, a system of recycled and reused water.6
2. The human brain's complexity shows a higher intelligence behind it. The human brain simultaneously processes an amazing amount of information. Your brain takes in all the colors and objects you see, the temperature around you, the pressure of your feet against the floor, the sounds around you, the dryness of your mouth, even the texture of your keyboard. Your brain holds and processes all your emotions, thoughts and memories. At the same time your brain keeps track of the ongoing functions of your body like your breathing pattern, eyelid movement, hunger and movement of the muscles in your hands.
The human brain processes more than a million messages a second.7 Your brain weighs the importance of all this data, filtering out the relatively unimportant. This screening function is what allows you to focus and operate effectively in your world. A brain that deals with more than a million pieces of information every second, while evaluating its importance and allowing you to act on the most pertinent information... did it come about just by chance? Was it merely biological causes, perfectly forming the right tissue, blood flow, neurons, structure? The brain functions differently than other organs. There is an intelligence to it, the ability to reason, to produce feelings, to dream and plan, to take action, and relate to other people. How does one explain the human brain?
3. "Chance" or "natural causes" are insufficient explanations. The alternative to God existing is that all that exists around us came about by natural cause and random chance. If someone is rolling dice, the odds of rolling a pair of sixes is one thing. But the odds of spots appearing on blank dice is something else. What Pasteur attempted to prove centuries ago, science confirms, that life cannot arise from non-life. Where did human, animal, plant life come from?
Also, natural causes are an inadequate explanation for the amount of precise information contained in human DNA. A person who discounts God is left with the conclusion that all of this came about without cause, without design, and is merely good fortune. It is intellectually wanting to observe intricate design and attribute it to luck.
4. To state with certainty that there is no God, a person has to ignore the passion of an enormously vast number of people who are convinced that there is a God. This is not to say that if enough people believe something it is therefore true. Scientists, for example, have discovered new truths about the universe which overruled previous conclusions. But as science has progressed, no scientific discovery has countered the numerical likelihood of an intelligent mind being behind it all. In fact, the more science discovers about human life and the universe, the more complex and precisely designed we realize these to be. Rather than pointing away from God, evidence mounts further toward an intelligent source. But objective evidence is not all.
There is a much larger issue. Throughout history, billions of people in the world have attested to their firm, core convictions about God's existence--arrived at from their subjective, personal relationship with God. Millions today could give detailed account of their experience with God. They would point to answered prayer and specific, amazing ways God has met their needs, and guided them through important personal decisions. They would offer, not only a description of their beliefs, but detailed reports of God's actions in their lives. Many are sure that a loving God exists and has shown himself to be faithful to them. If you are a skeptic, can you say with certainty: "I am absolutely right and they all are wrong about God"?
5. We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him. I was an atheist at one time. And like most atheists, the issue of people believing in God bothered me greatly. What is it about atheists that we would spend so much time, attention, and energy refuting something that we don't believe even exists?! What causes us to do that? When I was an atheist, I attributed my intentions as caring for those poor, disillusioned people...to help them realize their hope was completely ill-founded. To be honest, I also had another motive. As I challenged those who believed in God, I was deeply curious to see if they could convince me otherwise. Part of my quest was to become free from the question of God. If I could conclusively prove to believers that they were wrong, then the issue is off the table, and I would be free to go about my life.
I didn't realize that the reason the topic of God weighed so heavily on my mind, was because God was pressing the issue. I have come to find out that God wants to be known. He created us with the intention that we would know him. He has surrounded us with evidence of himself and he keeps the question of his existence squarely before us. It was as if I couldn't escape thinking about the possibility of God. In fact, the day I chose to acknowledge God's existence, my prayer began with, "Ok, you win..." It might be that the underlying reason atheists are bothered by people believing in God is because God is actively pursuing them.
I am not the only one who has experienced this. Malcolm Muggeridge, socialist and philosophical author, wrote, "I had a notion that somehow, besides questing, I was being pursued." C.S. Lewis said he remembered, "...night after night, feeling whenever my mind lifted even for a second from my work, the steady, unrelenting approach of Him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet. I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all of England."
Lewis went on to write a book titled, "Surprised by Joy" as a result of knowing God. I too had no expectations other than rightfully admitting God's existence. Yet over the following several months, I became amazed by his love for me.
6. Unlike any other revelation of God, Jesus Christ is the clearest, most specific picture of God pursuing us. Why Jesus? Look throughout the major world religions and you'll find that Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius and Moses all identified themselves as teachers or prophets. None of them ever claimed to be equal to God. Surprisingly, Jesus did. That is what sets Jesus apart from all the others. He said God exists and you're looking at him. Though he talked about his Father in heaven, it was not from the position of separation, but of very close union, unique to all humankind. Jesus said that anyone who had seen Him had seen the Father, anyone who believed in him, believed in the Father.
He said, "I am the light of the world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."8 He claimed attributes belonging only to God: to be able to forgive people of their sin, free them from habits of sin, give people a more abundant life and give them eternal life in heaven. Unlike other teachers who focused people on their words, Jesus pointed people to himself. He did not say, "follow my words and you will find truth." He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me."9
What proof did Jesus give for claiming to be divine? He did what people can't do. Jesus performed miracles. He healed people...blind, crippled, deaf, even raised a couple of people from the dead. He had power over objects...created food out of thin air, enough to feed crowds of several thousand people. He performed miracles over nature...walked on top of a lake, commanding a raging storm to stop for some friends. People everywhere followed Jesus, because he constantly met their needs, doing the miraculous. He said if you do not want to believe what I'm telling you, you should at least believe in me based on the miracles you're seeing.10
Jesus Christ showed God to be gentle, loving, aware of our self-centeredness and shortcomings, yet deeply wanting a relationship with us. Jesus revealed that although God views us as sinners, worthy of his punishment, his love for us ruled and God came up with a different plan. God himself took on the form of man and accepted the punishment for our sin on our behalf. Sounds ludicrous? Perhaps, but many loving fathers would gladly trade places with their child in a cancer ward if they could. The Bible says that the reason we would love God is because he first loved us.
Jesus died in our place so we could be forgiven. Of all the religions known to humanity, only through Jesus will you see God reaching toward humanity, providing a way for us to have a relationship with him. Jesus proves a divine heart of love, meeting our needs, drawing us to himself. Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, he offers us a new life today. We can be forgiven, fully accepted by God and genuinely loved by God. He says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you."11 This is God, in action.
Does God exist? If you want to know, investigate Jesus Christ. We're told that "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."12
God does not force us to believe in him, though he could. Instead, he has provided sufficient proof of his existence for us to willingly respond to him. The earth's perfect distance from the sun, the unique chemical properties of water, the human brain, DNA, the number of people who attest to knowing God, the gnawing in our hearts and minds to determine if God is there, the willingness for God to be known through Jesus Christ. If you need to know more about Jesus and reasons to believe in him.

is all I got
Especially on this point:
To state with certainty that there is no God, a person has to ignore the passion of an enormously vast number of people who are convinced that there is a God
let me change a few words in that...
To state with certainty that Microsoft is not the best, a person has to ignore the passion of an enormously vast number of people who are convinced that Microsoft is the best
Funny thing is, it doesn't mean Microsoft is or isn't the best just because majority thinks they are (or better yet, don't know or care to know any better)
See anything odd?
Sorry but...that article is written for middle ground people who don't know better on their claims to convert them I think...or keep people who choose to ignore common sense that are already followers
"What Pasteur attempted to prove centuries ago, science confirms, that life cannot arise from non-life"
Umm...pretty sure science never confirmed that. Some may have come to the conclusion, but probably an equal amount or more have come to the opposite

good post leanz,
i grew up in your run of the mill "christian" house hold...
left for the army to figure out what life and the world where all about..
2 combat tours later i am a firm believer that GOD exists and is active in our world whether we want to see it or not...
finaly this semster i am sitting thru a natural science geology course at the occ.. cant say i havent given every theory a chance.. things that stand out to me in this class include the fact that my instructor repeatedly states the basis of these sciences is a bunch of assumption that if ever proven wrong will destroy science's credibility...
yeah so i can base my beliefs on the assumptions of man
or i can belive in the supreme all knowning being we call God..
my thoughts,
oh yea leanz if you ever wanna discuss some of this religion stuff..give me holler ..i would be willing to share my outlook on the matter..

Faith is great, no doubt, we all need it. This article, however, is junk... that was my point
If you are going to believe in God, believe in it because you have faith in what you hold true. Don't believe in it because of this crud

I never said i agreed with everything this article stated. I beleive in evolution. how the writer stated the earth is the perfect distance away, shape and size with the right temp so we can thrive here- we evolved to live there. I dont beleive the earth was 'designed' perfecty to accomidate us or vice versa.
its just a good topic to get minds thinking, and maybe touching upon areas readers might havn't hit yet

The other part was directed at well..............they know who they are.
Sorry I hi-jacked it.
I'm just a little confused on why religion is such a popular subject on a 4x4 E-board. I can see however why religion would be important to 4x4 drivers when you just topped test hill at Silver Lake with your throttle stuck wide open...........

Purely as counterpoint for the article (which seems to be based upon creationism, though I could be mistaken), I'll post this, which was orginally posted in a forum I forgot the name of a long time ago.
Now, that stated...I can't say I believe in God, but I don't think I can say I'm certain that He doesn't exist. My way of thinking tends towards the likelihood of more than one God, but I can't really define it any better than that. I just don't see how one being, no matter how powerful, intelligent, benevolent, or forgiving, being able to watch over things as much as the original article seems to state.
...Please don't flame me...

I believe in God. I believe he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for us. I have witnessed Gods work, and it truly is amazing. God is definitely mysterious to those who do not know him, but once you know God, you have unshakable faith.
Hopefully some remember my thread a while back.
I think evolution has a lot of holes.

See, most people hear Theory of Evolution, and immediately block out everything being said and start thinking of ways to argue with coming from monkeys. Besides the fact that we come from apes, and not monkeys, most people fail to hear the most crucial part of the name. See, it's not just the Theory of Evolution. It's the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. And incidentally, it's all but fact. We have proof of early human life, that can be traced squarely back to to us, Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Granted, there are a few holes in our own evolution that we haven't found, but we also have evidence of the evolution of other species. Honestly, there is far too much evidence in favor of Evolution by Natural Selection for it to be conclusively proven wrong. At least, not without a massive effort, and some sort of explanation for the various forms of early human life.
Again though, the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection does not disprove the existence of God. Nor would I want it to, really. Faith is a wonderful thing to have, and it can get you through some really tough times.

Sykes, McKinnie Keeping Attention on Green Bay
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – It may be the offseason and the dog days of summer, but juniors Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) and Alfonzo McKinnie (Chicago, Ill.) have kept Green Bay men's basketball in the news with their play, or more accurately their verticals, at the Chicago Pro-Am. The former Marshall High School teammates and current Phoenix players have produced highlight-reel dunks that have taken the internet, the social media world, the media and even SportsCenter by storm.
"It's been exciting to see Keifer and Alfonzo getting attention for those incredible plays," said head coach Brian Wardle. "A lot of our players are getting the chance to play in summer leagues, and it gives them an opportunity to not only continue to get better against really strong competition, but also to play in front of friends and family members in their hometowns."
Sykes, a 2013 All-Horizon League First-Team selection, was first to turn heads. With Derrick Rose, Shawn Marion and Antoine Walker on hand, the 5-foot-11 Sykes caught a lob from the baseline and converted a thunderous dunk over a defender in the lane.
A rising junior, Sykes has already scored 874 points in a Green Bay uniform and averaged 15.9 points per game as a sophomore in 2012-13.
After transferring from Eastern Illinois and sitting out last season, McKinnie has yet to score in a Phoenix jersey. However, on Monday night he found himself in the Top 10 plays on ESPN's SportsCenter after the worldwide leader caught wind of his explosive dunk in the Chicago Pro-Am. The 6-foot-8 McKinnie made a backcut, caught the ball in traffic and finished a dunk over 4-time NBA All-Star Shawn Marion.
As a sophomore at EIU in 2011-12, McKinnie averaged 10.2 points and seven rebounds per contest while ranking second in the Ohio Valley Conference in field-goal percentage.

Team RMTI Walks to Fight Liver Disease
Participants raise nearly $4,000 in annual event
On June 5, 2011 a team from the Recanati/Miller Transplantation Institute (RMTI) of The Mount Sinai Medical Center participated in the American Liver Foundation's annual Liver Life Walk in New York City. This year, Team RMTI was comprised of more than 30 walkers who combined to raise almost $4,000—the sixth highest total out of the 47 registered teams! The walk took place in scenic Battery Park, located near the southern tip of Manhattan.
The sponsor of the walk, the American Liver Foundation (ALF), was founded in 1976 and is the nation's leading nonprofit organization devoted to promoting liver health and disease management. It maintains an ultimate goal of a world without liver disease and pursues that end through a number of different pathways. These include research to improve treatment and discover cures, education to detect liver disease early—and in some cases prevent it altogether, and advocacy on the behalf of patients and their families.
All of the ALF's pursuits benefit significantly from the money that is raised by the Liver Life Walk. The Walk is the ALF's largest annual fundraising event. It achieves a national scale, with more than 25 cities hosting a walk in 2011 and nearly 20,000 people participating. The Liver Life Walk's motto—Walk for Fun…Walk for Life!—is certainly an appropriate description for what walkers do across the country in support of the nearly 30 million Americans living with liver disease.
While those interested in participating in the Liver Life Walk in New York City will have to wait until next year to do so, Team RMTI will be participating in a similar event in the more immediate future—the National Kidney Foundation's annual Kidney Walk in New York City. The event aims to raise money in support of those living with kidney disease, and will take place on October 16, 2011 at South Street Seaport in Manhattan. Team RMTI welcomes involvement in any and all forms, be it by walking or making a modest donation. More information about the Kidney Walk can be obtained by visiting TeamRMTI - NKF Walk2011.

Today's FreezeFrame takes us back to December 2001, and another fine win for Arsenal in a memorable campaign.
Arsène Wenger's side headed into the game six points behind leaders Liverpool and in need of a win to keep up the pace in the title race.
Leeds United, Newcastle and Aston Villa made up the numbers in the chasing pack, with Manchester United having made a hugely disappointing start.
This was a tale of two halves. Villa proved deadly on the counter-attack in the first half and took the lead after 20 minutes when former Gunner Paul Merson lifted the ball over Stuart Taylor from inside the box.
Just 15 minutes later they had a second when Lauren's poor clearance was pounced on by Steve Stone to rifle home.
But Arsenal turned on the style in the second half. Wenger sent on Sylvain Wiltord for Freddie Ljungberg, while Martin Keown replaced Matthew Upson to shore up the backline.
The changes worked instantly as Wiltord volleyed home a Ray Parlour cross a minute after the restart.
Arsenal continued to pour forward and eventually grabbed an equaliser through the mercurial Thierry Henry. Patrick Vieira robbed Jlloyd Samuel before crossing for Henry to slot past Peter Enckelman.
The home side did not let up and Villa eventually caved in the final minute. Robert Pires found Henry through the middle, and he made no mistake to seal a dramatic win for the Gunners.
The rest is history. Arsenal eventually overturned Liverpool at the top to romp home by seven points, completing a magnificent double after their FA Cup success over Chelsea.
Our FreezeFrame image shows Henry and Wiltord celebrating the winning goal against Aston Villa.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with a stunning maneuver by Emmanuel Adebayor against Villarreal in 2009.

Emmanuel Adebayor v Villareal (A) 04-07-2009
He may not be the most popular of players among Arsenal fans, but at his best Emmanuel Adebayor was certainly capable of the sublime. And this Golden Goal serves as a reminder of that.
In the first leg of the 2009 Champions League Quarter-Final at Villarreal, Arsenal were struggling. They deservedly fell behind in the 10th minute after Marcos Senna found the top corner from 25 yards out. It wasn't until the second half that Arsenal forced their way back into the game and cranked up the pressure.
The Gunners were searching for the away goal, and in the 66th minute they found it. And as you might expect, Cesc Fabregas made it happen. Denilson sent the ball to the Spaniard who was all alone, 40 yards out. As Fabregas looked up, he spotted Adebayor running toward the box and floated a perfect pass to the striker.
Adebayor turned his back to the goal and in one fluid movement chested the ball up before firing a volley toward the bottom corner. So sharp was Adebayor's execution, that Villarreal's goalkeeper, Diego Lopez, could only manage to glance at the ball as it flew past him.
It turned the tide and transformed the tie. Eight days later Arsenal won at home 3-0 with Adebayor scoring once more against the Spanish outfit.
It would be his final goal for Arsenal.

text: Having read with interest Maofan7's great retrospective of the 1972 Olympics - hard to do considering the lack of material - I was struck by some perceptions which can often miss the mark a little, especially when there is such a lack of video evidence. Trixie Schuba's Olympic freeskate is a case in point. However it also got me to thinking that very little is really known of Ondrej Nepela despite being the 1972 Olympic champion who was also a five time European and three time World champion. Considering these incredible accomplishments, it is for something else entirely that he is remembered, namely the infamous tryst with Toller Cranston at the 1973 World Championships. Of course this is only Toller's version of the story - easy to do when the other person is dead and can't give their side of the story. I love Toller but have always had issues with him revealing this when the other person can't answer back. Toller also condemned him to the 'generic soviet satellite skater' descriptive. OK so he didn't have the artistic genius of Toller or John Curry but he wasn't exactly shabby when it came to free skating. To prove a point and to hopefully change opinions on his skating, I made a montage of his career which include a lot of rarely seen footage. To me he was a skater of quality - a master of figures who skated on good edges, with speed and flow, together with great spins (not many men today could match those camel positions), high consistent jumps, and an awareness of how to present himself with line and stretch. Yes the jump technique looks clunky to our eyes but you have to remember that he skated at the highest level from 1964 to 1973 when modern jump technique was in its infancy. His packaging is dated, but as a communist skater he literally had no choice but to skate the way he did. Luckily he was allowed an artistic outlet within his professional career with HOI as seen here. Waltzes of Faust Thankfully his home country remembers him with love and pride. In 2000 he was voted the athlete of the century and his memory lives on in the annual memorial competition that bears his name, as well as the Ondrej Nepela stadium in Bratislava where he won his third and last world title before an adoring home crowd. So here's my tribute to Ondrej, a great skater who IMO deserves a better reputation. Ondrej Nepela - The Lost Champion Please share your memories of his skating if you remember him, or thoughts if he is new to you

Potential Neglect from Groomer
I will be as specific as I can, and please feel free to correct me if I am overreacting at all.
I was on emergency leave for a week to attend a funeral for a family member that passed. While I was home in SC, I took the opportunity to visit a nice holistic vet in the area, as well as get my pup (Lothar), cleaned up and have his nails trimmed.
Once I was called (2-3 hours later) to pick up my dog. I went inside and met him, as always he was super excited to see me. I noticed once we started making our way out to the truck a VERY slight limp. I honestly didn't even think anything about it at the time, because it was so minor. So later that day, I was playing around with him and the limp got worse. I do daily inspections of him for everything...fleas, sores, pads, etc, etc. I noticed a nail on the paw he was not bearing any weight on was cut very short. At first I assumed that could be the culprit. Seeing as how I am a Combat Medic in the Army, I am constantly amazed at my stupidtity with diagnosing and treating a dog..haha.
He is unable to bear much weight on this paw, but can if need be. I can't feel anything that sends up any red flags. As of right now, no swelling significant enough to notice via comparison. He simply just hops around on this one healthy front paw. I am worried it could be dislocated or fractured, since I recall the groomers stating "he reallllly doesn't like having his nails done." I didn't think anything of it. I have an appointment tomorrow with my local traditional vet...I don't make enough on active duty right now to pay out the butt..should this be a serious injury. I have talked with everyone who has been around myself or my dog my entire stay, and they are all stating they don't know of any event that could have caused it at home. So I'm pretty much sold on the idea that this injury whether it be just a very sensitive wimpy dog, or a d*** groomer who wrestled my dog happened at the groomers business. Regardless of how minor it could be (hopefully) I would think they should tell someone! If it turns out this isn't minor...please give me suggestions on the right way to approach rectifying the situation.
I'd call the groomer and be blatantly honest and direct... and relay the same info you did in your post. I might try and make it obvious that you are not interested in finding a "culprit" but more the reason for your dog's limping......because that is what you are most concerned about..... Dogs get gimpy sometimes for crazy reasons but I am not ruling out a mishap at the groomers....hopefully all is well and your concern will be tempered soon enough....but..I don't blame you for being concerned...I'd be a liar to say I wouldn't be....I get nervous every time I see my shep take a spill running something down.

Dog groomers are usually sweet people, and you should cut them some slack. They get paid about the same as the people who assemble your Big Mac, so you should cut them that much more slack.
If you wanna complain about dog grooming, and your dog is a GSD, well, then...It's not that difficult. Do it yourself. Doh...
Seriously, clip his nails and bathe him quarterly.

If he's having trouble bearing weight on his paw after a nail trim, try some styptic powder... unless she cut off his knuckle, NOT LIKELY, it will be No big deal by the morning.

How long has he been limping?
How old is your dog? Where's the limp, front, back?
You can try homeopathic tincture (comes in pills or liquid - go with liquid) "Traumeel"....I can attest that it worked amazing for my 9 yr. old dog who pulled a stupid stunt going after a cat:rolleyes: (sigh)...a few hrs. after the incident, night and the next morning walk he was walking like a stiff robot...ran to health food store and got him traumeel...I administered it every hr. 4x...on the afternoon walk he started slow, about 5mins. in he picked up the pace, had a wag going and went into a little trot. I cont'd it for a few days. Whenever he seems a little stuff I throw 10 drops in his fresh water . But the initial dosing I lifted side of his lip.
R&R and leash walks (and noted above), is best to heal a mild to moderate strain. Just don't want to see your dog end up on NSAID prematurely. If anything Tramadol for pain, but that's only if dog is not wanting to get up to go out (same for NSAIDS - drugs are over-scripted)
If the nail was cut too short, soak the paw in some warm water w/Epsom salts and put some antibiotic ointment on quick (sp.? lol). Maybe getting infected if exposed...do that 2-3x per day for 5mins. for 5 days approx.
Was this really necessary? Lots of people are uncomfortable doing their dog''s nails so they take them to groomers and expect those groomers to take care of business correctly since, you know, they've chosen to to do that type of business. If the groomer knew the dog didn't like having it's nails cut and couldn't do it without harming the dog then maybe she/he should have passed on that. Do mistakes happen sometimes, sure they do and most likely the groomer doesn't realize the dog is hurt.
To the OP, I hope your pup is ok but I would call and let the groomer know so she/he has the opportunity to revise the way they handle a dog like this in the future.
do you think the dog could have pano ?

The college experience can often mean more than listening to lectures or studying in the library. Learning also occurs when the unexpected happens.
Take the case of three students from Belmont University or a group of band members from Pitt. Few woke up Sunday morning thinking they would be flying to Salt Lake City, a place they had never visited.
But they suddenly found themselves in Utah supporting their teams in the NCAA basketball tournament.
Belmont students Luke LePage, Chris Dean and Katie Gleerup wasted no time exploring Salt Lake City. Before coming to check out top seed Gonzaga's practice at EnergySolutions Arena, they had already ridden TRAX to the University of Utah, where they took quick tours of Rice-Eccles Stadium and the Huntsman Center.
"We've never been here before," said Gleerup. "We went to games in Arizona and Ohio the past few years and had an awesome experience. Our profs understand this is an awesome opportunity to see this part of the country. I am in nursing, and it's hard to get out of school for that many days."
Because the trio of Belmont fans attended most of their school's men's and women's games, they were invited to fly on the team charter. LePage said he looked up the distance from Nashville to Salt Lake City and calculated that it would have taken just under 24 hours to drive. He said a friend who didn't get to fly was considering doing just that.
"For a kid from the Great Plains of Ohio, there are some pretty big bumps in the road," said LePage about the Wasatch Mountains.
Dean said the fact Belmont was playing Arizona in the first round meant even more to him because three members of his family graduated from the Tucson school.
"You can't beat Salt Lake City," he said. "It's the best place to go. I've never been here before."
Still, the Belmont fans think that their team will have at most 150 fans in the stands. They are hoping New Mexico supporters will cheer for the Bruins, who have never won an NCAA game and will be underdogs against Arizona on Thursday.
Pitt band members Stephen Ippolito and Matt O'Polka, who were part of a section cheering as Pitt players made half-court shots while practicing at ESA on Wednesday, were also making their first trip to Utah. They didn't expect to see many of their classmates in the stands.
"It's a $500 plane ticket, which is hard for last-minute travel," said O'Polka, adding sarcastically that "all you have to do is hop on I-80 and drive for 1,800 miles."
The Pitt students had already discovered Squatters Pub. A few asked about local bars. Some visitors were going to Park City.
One of the big surprises Wednesday were the number of Montana fans, a few even wearing Griz hats. That's surprising because the University of Montana is playing in San Jose, not Salt Lake.
It turns out many folks from Montana love Gonzaga, too. And couples such as Leonard and Myrna Stone from Geraldine, Mont., are such big college basketball fans that they have planned a trip to the NCAA Tournament for the past 12 years.
"We bought our regional tickets a year ago as a family," said Leonard.
"We are huge college basketball fans and the Zags are number one this year," added Myrna. "Lots of Montana people are Zag fans. We have been following them for 15 years. They are a Cinderella story."
James and JoAnn Krum of Valentine, Mont., sat in a different section watching practice. They came to Salt Lake because it was the closest regional, Their son was flying up from New Mexico to cheer on the Lobos.
Ross Shannon of Vernon, B.C., and his daughter Erin decided to book tickets and hotels for the first round games in hopes of seeing Gonzaga but with no guarantee. They took a 15-hour father-daughter road trip.
"We've followed Gonzaga 25 years," said Ross. "They have a big fan base. They are a good group to follow. … We were lucky enough that Gonzaga got here. It was good karma."
The biggest contingent of fans coming to Salt Lake City is expected to be from Arizona. Wildcat Club member Irene Duarte flew the team charter to the game after watching the Wildcats play in Las Vegas last weekend.
Tyler Schlegel, an Arizona native who moved to Salt Lake City and is an aspiring basketball coach, wanted to watch what drills Wildcat coach Sean Miller used at practice. His father was flying up late Wednesday from Tucson for the first-round matchup against Belmont.
"The committee was nice enough to send Arizona here," he grinned.

There is nothing new to learn from the mouth of Bernard Madoff except his "surprise" at not being caught years before for a Ponzi scheme that went on for decades. The one-time street hustler who worked the boardrooms and country clubs of the wealthy told his lawyer the most amazing aspect of his career is how long it went on and on and on. On occasion, like being brought before the SEC Mr. Madoff "thought they got me" but as always when the rich and powerful are concerned, being caught with your hand in the till will be excused away as the act of a man with a disease that forces his hand to wind up in strange places. Now, if a poor man tried placing his money in the cookie jar, the only solution is cutting off his arm and sending him to prison.
The issue no longer is about Bernard Madoff. The central issue is how many other Bernie Madoffs at this very moment are hustling their way through the money of those with money? The issue is when does government establish regulatory agencies that will regulate rather than look the other way? Bernie, have a good one. I'm certain God will watch his wallet when you come before him, after all, how else could the Old Man behave towards someone who ripped off Holocaust victims?

Project overview: Benefits, materials and cost
This corner arbor turns empty space on a patio or deck into a leafy green sanctuary. Use it to create shade and privacy, to screen an unattractive view, or to add color to a concrete patio or wood deck—even a second floor deck. Our arbor is covered with a tropical vine called mandevilla, a great plant for walls, trellises and arbors.
The entire arbor is made from pressure-treated wood, but coating it with a penetrating stain and hiding the fasteners makes the project look more like a piece of furniture than decking. The stain will also help keep it from cracking and warping as it weathers.
Using pressure-treated wood keeps the cost reasonable too. All the materials for this project cost $250. The project can be built over two weekends—or one if you don't stain it.
Treated wood lasts almost forever, but it can be gnarly to work with. Take your time picking through the lumber pile for good pieces. Look for dry (lighter) pieces without too many knots. You'll need straight pieces for the uprights and benches, but you can use nice-looking, moderately warped pieces for the planters. Let the lumber sit for a few weeks so it all shrinks uniformly. Remember to put the best sides out when you assemble the planters and benches.
3 Simple Components: Trellises, Planters and Benches
To build this project, just cut lumber to length and screw the parts together. If you can handle a tape measure, a saw and a drill, you can do it. Customization is easy, too: Build shorter seats to suit a small space or add components to surround a big space. If you don't need shade or privacy, leave off the trellis.
Step 1: Assemble the planter boxes
Each planter box is made by alternating 10 short and 10 long lengths of 2x4 and joining the inside corners with 2x2s. The overall size is based on 16-in. square plastic planters (actual size 15-1/2 in.) widely available at home centers. If you can't locate that exact size or you prefer a different style, make the planter supports (D and E) larger or smaller, or build a base inside the planter box to support the planter. You can also change the size of the planter box.
Use a stop block to cut all the pieces quickly and accurately (Photo 1). Set three long and two short pieces against a square clamped to the worktable, using short spacer blocks for alignment. Predrill the 2x2 corners with a No. 8 countersink bit to avoid splitting the wood (Photo 2). One 2-1/2-in. screw per 2x4 is sufficient.
Make a front and back for each planter box, then set them upright and join them with interlocking 2x4 pieces (Photo 3), again attaching them from the inside. Although screwing from the inside is fussier, it enables you to avoid the cracks that often occur when pressure-treated wood is screwed near the ends.
Finally, screw the bench supports on (see Figure A in "Additional Information" below). Stain the planter boxes and all the other pieces now to avoid drips on the deck or patio. It's also easier to coat all the bench pieces on all four sides at this stage (Photo 4).
Note: You can view and download the Cutting List, Materials List and Figure A in "Additional Information" below.
Step 2: Construct the benches
Clamp the front and one of the sides of the bench to a square edge. Clamp the first set of spacers and the first 2x4 slat to the front piece, then drive two 3-in. screws through the slat and the spacer into the front piece. Continue fastening, clamping the slats in position to keep them aligned before screwing them in (Photo 5). Check to make sure the bench stays flat as you assemble it. Toe-screw the bench ends to the front of the bench, then drive two screws into the end of each slat (see Figure A).
Put the benches in place flush with the back of the planter boxes (Photo 6). Screw the benches and planter boxes together with four 2-1/2-in. screws, then screw on the planter supports inside the planter box with three 2-1/2-in. screws each.
Level the planter boxes if necessary, adding hidden 2x2s or 2x4s for legs (Photo 7).
Step 3: Assemble the trellis
Screw support blocks to the backs of the planter boxes 3 in. in from the corners, then attach the posts (Photo 8). Cut the posts 7 ft. long plus the distance (if any) the planter box was shimmed up, so that they sit on the ground but are level with each other at the top. Drive two additional screws into the posts from the inside of the planter boxes, but don't worry if the boxes are still a little wobbly—the top rail and cap lock everything together.
Set the top 2x4 rails on the ground next to the posts, leaving a 1-1/2-in. overhang at the outside ends. Mark the position of each post on the top rail, then clamp the rails flush with the top of the posts and fasten them with 3-in. screws to the posts and to each other (Photo 9).
Nail on the lattice, overhanging it 1-1/2 in. on the outside edges and butting the pieces at the corner (Photo 10).
Screw on the 2x6 cap pieces to finish the structure, mitering them at the inside corner and screwing the two sides together. Drop in the plastic planter boxes (from home centers or garden supply stores), fill with dirt, and plant with a mix of climbing flowers and vines.

Fourth-Ranked Missouri Upends No. 16 Kentucky
Nov. 24, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Undefeated and fourth-ranked Missouri claimed a 3-0 (25-15, 25-20, 25-16) win over the No. 16 Kentucky volleyball team on Sunday afternoon in Memorial Coliseum. Senior Whitney Billings logged nine kills and eight digs in the loss to pace the Wildcats.
With the loss, Kentucky falls to 21-7 on the year and 13-4 in Southeastern Conference action. Missouri improves to 33-0, 17-0 in league play. UK will remain home for its regular season finale playing host to No. 7 Florida on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
"They (Missouri) played awfully well," UK coach Craig Skinner said. "They have two of the best players in the league without question in (Molly) Kreklow and (Lisa) Henning and they were on fire today. That team showed why they are a top five team. We didn't play aggressive enough against them. With only four missed serves, I feel like we need to serve tougher to create some situations where we have to worry about one attacker and not three or four at a time."
Missouri charted 47 kills on .407 hitting with a pair of players in double-figures. Kentucky notched 34 kills on .183 hitting and was flustered into 17 hitting errors. In addition to nine kills from Billings, junior Lauren O'Conner notched eight. UK got seven kills from both of its middle blockers in senior Alexandra Morgan and sophomore Sara Schwarzwalder. Morgan and freshman Anni Thomasson led the team with three blocks apiece. Sophomore setter Morgan Bergren dished out 31 assists.
Defensivley, junior Jackie Napper had six digs, freshman Kelsey Wolf totaled four, sophomore Shelby Workman had two and senior Jessi Greenberg added one.
Prior to the match, UK honored the class of 2013. Billings, Greenberg, Morgan and Desirre Wilkerson have notched 20 or more victories in three of their four seasons and are on pace to advance to an NCAA Tournament in each of their four seasons donning the Blue and White.
Billings opened the match with a kill off the Mizzou block to lift UK to the early lead. The Tigers fired back, however, and scored the frame's next three points before Billings once again came through for the Cats to spell the visitors' run. Missouri maintained a three-point advantage for much of the early stages of the set until the Tigers shook loose for a three-point swing to push its lead to 8-3 forcing Kentucky into a timeout. The margin would be enough for the visitors as Missouri rolled to a 25-15 opening set victory.
The Tigers utilized a .414 hitting clip with 15 kills compared to 10 for the Cats at a .147 rate. O'Conner led the way for UK with three kills in the frame.
Schwarzwalder capitalized on an overpass for the second set's first point before Missouri fired back with a kill of its own. The Tigers used a pair of UK mistakes to earn a 4-2 lead, but consecutive kills from O'Conner and Schwarzwalder tied the score at four apiece. Billings followed with a solo block to begin a back-and-forth exchange between the two teams.
Missouri reclaimed the lead at 12-11 and then a ball handling error charged to the Cats forced UK into a timeout trailing 13-11. Schwarzwalder came up with a kill out of the break to end the 4-0 Mizzou run, but the Tigers would again answer with another multi-point rally to claim an 18-14 edge. Kentucky responded with three-straight points to pull to within 18-17, forcing the visitors to take a timeout. After the Tigers scored five of the next six points a big-time kill prompted the Tigers to take their final timeout ahead 23-20 late in the second set. Two Wildcat miscues would lift Missouri to a 25-20 second set win.
Mizzou posted 18 kills on .361 hitting with two players notching six apiece. UK managed 13 on .290 hitting. Schwarzwalder and Morgan both logged four each. Wolf had four digs for UK to lead the way defensively.
The third set opened in a back-and-forth battle with Billings accounting for UK's first two points on kills. Missouri then pushed ahead by four at 7-3 before O'Conner's kill to the back corner ended the early visitor's run. A ball handling error by the Tigers enabled the Cats to pull back to within three at 11-8, but Missouri responded by utilizing a 7-2 run to stretch the advantage to eight at 18-10. The margin would be enough as the Tigers fended off consecutive Billings' kills for two match-saving points before the Tigers earned the match's winning tally on a kill.
Billings had six kills in the final frame for the Wildcats, and Napper had a team-high three scoops. UK put down 11 kills at a .107 rate. Missouri, however, fired away for 14 kills on a .462 hitting clip to earn the win.
Kentucky's Memorial Coliseum will play host to the NCAA Regionals Dec. 13-14. The regional will get underway Dec. 13, with semifinal contests at 5 and 7 p.m. ET, while the regional final will commence Dec. 14 at 4 p.m. UK is one of four sites selected for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight matchups with one team advancing to the Final Four in Seattle, Wash., from the Lexington Region. This marks the second time in three seasons Memorial Coliseum will host this premier volleyball event. Tickets for the event are available now at UKathletics.com/tickets.

Hey kid! It looks like you are already developing some skills by workin' on the escort! Thanks for the complement! Hang around here awhile. I think you might be a keeper!
|Welcome, that was a sweet Monte BTW.
Hey thats a nice Granny Rambler there Odd Rodder. I only hope If I'm patient enough I can build something fairly similar, then we can make a Granny Clan lol.
As for the Monte ...rusty floor boards weren't my only concern. Money is an ever inspiring thing and for the right price pretty much anyone can be bought. In what I mean by this is that I bought the car 3 years ago for 2k and sold it 3 years later for nearly 6k having invested about 2k. I thought that was great with college coming around now. The car also had body filler on it though, Not from my but from the past owner. I noticed it but never really payed attention to it till I realized it could be exposed and turn my "hotrod" into a cancerous beater.
Also I really stink at body work, everything I think I fix comes right back, and that Monte paint job was really hard to match.
I'm really going to have to learn how to do better body work though. My grandma's car "cancer on wheels" is really going to need it lol. As for that motor idea that would be awesome....only if ford wouldn't have totally cheaped out on motor mounts and there placements, One of the motor mounts is practically located on the passenger's side fender with a rubber grommet and locater pin holding it steady. I'm no car genius but something tells me this car was one of a kind..."cheap". Its not going to be any sort of a picnic with my cruddy fabricating skills either lol.
Moby I really haven't done much to my car so far but heres an fairly old picture of it. From that picture I added front and rear ground effects a fiber glassed on hood scoop and tinted windows. Since then I've added some custom made clear corner turn signals, black wind shield wipers lol ...i have the all American ones on in that picture, and some really ghetto rims that my parents bought me for a high school graduation gift, and I didn't want to make them feel bad so I put them on. Not much actual work involved in these mods and i'm almost ashame to list them lol, but I'm ready to start cracking down on it further with high school just ending.
|Dragon J
|They tell me my Henry J is odd but I just don't get it...!!! Good Luck and it's great to have a PURPOSE in creating a vehicle. Be as original as you can and have some fun!!! Search around for unique ideas, but above all MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!!
|Hey Kid! It's nice to meet another Odd person from time to time! Not sure I would have sold the Monte though, welding in new floor pans isn't that big a deal! Now, lets talk about how were going to get a 455 and Tornado front drive unit shoe horned into this Escort wagon!!!!!!!
Pretty much he walked me through an engine rebuild. I had no clue as to how engines worked and I really wanted a "clean" car. So my dad guided me through everything but made me do all the work lol. Wasn't as fun as I thought but it was defiantly worth it.
Everything else, exterior and interior was done by me. Besides the paint job which was done by Eight Mile Collusion.
I sold the car due to very rusty floor boards and no place to store it....it was a fun experience though as was worth the effort.
|1988 Ford Escort s/w, I'd like to see a pic of that, I have a 81 escort, amongst others
Your dad does nice work..... What did you help him do on the Monte?

|Nice Monte,
Hello, I'm a Newbie
Hello I'm an 18-year-old car freak... more or less new age stuff but Im in the fixings of learning about the past. My dad practically insists that I do so.
I've joined this site in hopes to learn and expand my knowledge of car concepts.... Im basically pretty dumb when it comes to cars and I wouldn't consider myself a hotrod builder, but I would love to become one, and therefore feel this is a great start.
As for cars:
I've owned and helped build a fairly nice 1985 Monte Carlo SS, with the kind assist of my father. But through this experience I grew the inspiration to continue down the path of knowledge for car building. I only one day hope that I can totally build my own hotrod.
I am currently working on a totally offset project, that I don't even know why I'm attempting without the proper knowledge. Lol anyhow I am working on a 1988 Ford Escort Station Wagon.... As weird as that may sound I am only doing it out of love. In further depth, the car was a gift from my beloved grandmother and was set to be given to me out of her will. Ever since attaining the car I felt the want/need to turn something terribly ugly into something totally cool, just out of respect for my grandmothers gift. And this is where I hope this site may take me.
Thanks for your time, and I am glad to be apart of this great site.

Hi guys,
I have decided I want to get an action-shot of an ESB Boba Fett on my calf muscle. I am going to start getting images, so I will be asking for your thoughts on the design so every detail is correct :P. Anybody have any cool reference photos of accurate boba fett poses?
Also: my soul died a bit when I saw my 'now used to be' friend had this tattoo on her thigh... WARNING: painful to look at:

Can't lose with 42s
FSJ build
I picked this up off of the forums awhile ago...Wouldn't run, cam gear was stripped.
Pre-installed goodies: 4 core aluminum radiator, edelbrock intake, truck avenger, HEI conversion distrib, cam of some sort, hedman headers, 5.13s, lockers front and rear
After tearing it all down, I *think* I've discovered why it kept eating gears, check out the oil slot on the timing gear...I've ordered a handful of goodies from bulltear industries and I'm probably going to end up oiling the timing cover externally by tapping into the oil sending unit
Cam is marked energizer, no idea who makes this one. Crane doesn't have a reference of ever making an energizer for the AMC 360
Fenders before:
Fenders after:
Some fugly shop tires for sure. I hate 7' garage doors
I'm still waiting on parts from bulltear so I decided to start work on the floors..PO purchased BJs replacement panels that need to be installed..I'm going to have to dig up some old road signs I have laying around to fix it completely
Freddie Flinstone carnage
Surprisingly enough, the rockers are still very solid. Only 1 body mount is screwed up as well. It's been difficult to find a FSJ that wasn't completely rotted out, this one only needing floors was no big deal. It gave me an excuse to get this
And this
For some reason it had a 3 bolt harmonic balancer on it and only had a 2 groove pulley, I want to run OBA and didn't have access to a 3 groove 3 bolt pulley so I decided to use the ones off of a donor 360..sand blasted and painted them flat black. Threw a speedi-sleeve on the harmonic cuz the surface was a hot mess
Timing cover off of donor 360, I decided to use this one and eliminate the cam gear problem being from a distorted cover..Masked off all the surfaces and went to town with the sand blaster..co-worker laid down some epoxy on it
Sooner or later the rats nest wiring is going to piss me enough that I either swap in another dash and wiring harness, or build my own sheetmetal dash
Couple misc shots of my workspace
Pictures are shitty, my SLR battery was dead and my charger was at work....Pictures didn't turn out too bad on the Iphone

I'll let you drive it when its back together... With all of the time and effort you put into it you deserve to go tear shit up with it for awhile!!!
Timing cover is now installed with new bulltear gear, picked up a oil filter relocation setup so I can run it thru an oil cooler when I get around to it..I always hated how they mounted the filters on the AMCs...
Also installed a flowcooler water pump, seems like every v8 I've had would overheat so I'm thinking with the aluminum rad and high flow pump it should keep that in check. Next up is to find a taurus fan at the yard and fabricate some mounts to the radiator..

The "kit" was pretty nice, hoses are a little short for what I'm planning on doing...
I normally don't run fram filters but I'm planning on starting it and running it for awhile, doing some heat cycles and then draining the oil and changing the filter to a WIX or napa gold.

I think those cheap ass cooler lines were made in good ol' TC Michigan..I know cuz I worked there for awhile before they closed the doors
They leak around the crimp where the steel line is joined to the rubber
Yes that is the plan for this winter!!
I've got all of the parts to punt the quadratrac, I got a 32 spline TH400 output, NP203 adapter and 32 spline NP203 box...I'm still undecided on what case I will run in the rear..I really like the idea of different low ratios thats why I'm steering clear of 205s. I'm redoing the floors anyway so I can use Bones' advice and flip the 203 for smore clearance
For now I want it to run & move so I can have an excuse to buy a manual valvebody and give compression braking a shot with an automatic...Never experienced that before!!

The fucker runs!!
I fucked with the timing and couldn't get it running any better than where I set it when I installed the distributor haha
Things it still needs:
Wiring! still a bit messy. Basically just needs to be cleaned up and dressed down.
Electric fan - I think I'm going to break down and buy the one that fits the radiator..It's got a nice ass mounting boss already on the radiator and if 2400cfm isn't enough I can modify the sheet metal to house a taurus fan..It's like $200 which is gay but I think it will work
Battery relocation - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Moell...ssoriesQ5fGear
Big boy shit, an actual box that houses an 8D. I figure I can put that next to the fuel cell in the box, with the cover I will be able to throw tools and a high-lift in there without arcing the terminals. Should be dandy when I get a winch.
Exhaust - headers leak, gay ass things I hate them. I'm going to give them an honest shot, I've heard guys say that the copper gaskets fix the leaks for good....We'll see
Plug wires - The set I have is retarded long, I need to do up a custom set and dress them down for that kuh-lean look
Floors - Still need to be welded up and fixed
Seats - still undecided if I want to run OEMs or some racing style for when I do a cage and want 5pt tie-ins
Tail lights - Need to get some LED trailer lights and recess them in the rear bumper..probably the least of my worries at this point

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to Singapore/Korea for 2 weeks starting tomorrow so I won't be around. I'll be sure to hit him with a PM when I get back!
I decided to bust out the mig welder last night, keep in mind this is with .030 flux core wire and a newb running the gun. Still need to fabricate some additional patch panels but atleast its started...I'm a bit lazy and didn't have a wire wheel around so I tried to buff up the surface as best as possible with a grinder wheel.....

Cold weather prompts reminders about cold pets
Share the Love adoption event, reminders go hand-in-hand
POCATELLO, Idaho - The cold weather is not only affecting people, but it's affecting pets too.
"We had a dog brought in just last night that was frozen solid," said Pocatello Animal Shelter Manager Danielle Garcia.
Garcia said this sin't the first time she's seen an animal die because it was left outside, but she says what makes it sad is how preventable it is.
"People really need to be diligent about making sure your animals are warm, in this weather especially," Garcia said. "Just like in the summer, extreme cold, extreme heat, don't leave them locked in a car and don't leave them locked outside."
While the dog that froze to death may have been accidental, one case this week the Bannock Humane Society saw was not.
"He was probably a six-week-old little Black Lab puppy," said board member Eileen Jackson. "The girl found him in a plastic Wal-Mart bag with the strings tied around his neck, in a dumpster."
Jackson said this is plain cruelty, but the puppy did have a happy ending, finding a home with the girl who found him.
Jackson and Garcia both spoke about these events while animals were being sent to good homes at the Share the Love adoption event, taking place Saturday at Phil Meador Subaru.
"Please don't leave them out without shelter," Jackson said. "It's best not to leave them out, but if you're going to, make sure they've got some place to go, and food and water. It's just not fair, and that happens a lot here."
Both Jackson and Garcia said they enjoy adoption events like the Share the Love event because it reminds them they get to see lucky animals go to lucky new pet owners. They made sure to remind everyone adopting a pet that, while a new pet may make a good Christmas gift, it's best you make them an early gift.
"There's a lot of stress and chaos going on at your house on Christmas," Garcia said. "This way, they have a chance to get to know you, you get to know them, they can acclimate into your home and it's a lot less stressful for them."


text: I know the season hasn't started yet but I can't help but wonder about players that can help the pistons. Who do you guys have in mind if we end up with the #8 pick? Personally, I like Kyle Anderson. He's a smooth player and he's a very smart basketball player and he can finish with either left or right hand. Although, He's not that athletic and he doesn't have much quickness or explosion. Overall, he reminds me of Brandon Roy or Paul Pierce. Here's a video of him: Who else is out there that can help the Pistons, in your mind?
