I checked Gander Mountain a few days ago for 5.7 ammo.
I pay around $20 for 197 ammo locally. Gander wanted $24.95 for the 195, and over $29 for 197. That's obscene!!!!

I checked Gander Mountain a few days ago for 5.7 ammo.
I pay around $20 for 197 ammo locally. Gander wanted $24.95 for the 195, and over $29 for 197. That's obscene!!!!
I only see 22 ammo at that link....
Anyway, I cannot get 195 ammo locally, so I was hoping to find some. But, I'm not spending more than $20 tope. When he scanned the 197 ammo too, I was shocked...
To the best of my knowledge: ss197 (red ballistic tip 40 gr), ss196 (blue ballistic tip 40 gr), ss195 (aluminum core 30 gr). CMMG has ss195 for 19.99/50rnd and ss196 16.99/50rnd. I bought a case of ss196 for plinking(650.00), and 5 boxes of 195 for carry in my Five-seveN.
Here is a chart from Wikipedia (the 193 is not available to civilians)
I stand corrected. Thanks Ship. That was ss197 that I bought a case of. I also heard of ss190 and ss192. Both were supposed to be armor piercing (heaveier than lead cores). But they are not on the market anymore. You can still buy one of the two (I dont know which). They are going for $60 a round, Yes one round! They are legal to own, Just don't load it in your gun. That's a felony.
If you want a cheaper "armor piercing" pistol, you can get a 7.62x25mm chambered pistol. More powerful, and vastly cheaper(both the pistols and ammunition).
From what I've hard of the so-called "armor piercing" rounds(defined by material, NOT ability to pierce armor) is that it is legal to sell and purchase but illegal to manufacture or import.
In all honesty - I have no need for armor piercing rounds. I didn't buy the gun for that. Don't really see why someone needs it. That being said - I think if they didn't have the 5.7 pistol that could fire the same rounds, then they might not have banned the other rounds. Many rifle rounds could probably penetrate armor.
The SS195 is extremely similar to the SS190 in terms of performance.
SS192 IS the same thing as SS195, only difference is the lead free primer on the SS195

Ashley & Ty
February 2
Atlanta, Georgia
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
I am an interior designer and architecture played a large role in finding the right church and reception venues. I knew The Cathedral of Christ the King was the one because of the gothic-revival inspired interior with its vaulted arches, stone columns, stained glass windows and marble accents. It is one of the most stunning churches I've ever been in. I was lucky enough to not have to add any extra decorations to the Cathedral, which took one less thing off of my to-do list before the wedding! I knew the Trolley Barn was perfect for the reception venue because of its beautiful exposed wooden beams and high ceilings.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
I am fortunate to have an amazing family that helped me execute all of the design elements I wanted to have at the reception. Some details that were my favorite included all of the signage elements we made, the delicious s'mores bar, and my wedding accessories.
We made signs that included our sign-in canvas, photo booth, gifts table, bar drinks, and time frame specifics. My dad framed each sign and also made amazing easels to display them on by using reclaimed wood from an old fence.
The s'mores bar was a huge hit as it was a dessert everyone could access whenever they wanted during the night. My dad made the s'mores trough from the same reclaimed wood and lava rocks.
I did not want to spend a fortune on bridal accessories. Luckily, I was able to borrow Ty's grandmother's diamond necklace; it was the same one I also wore for my high school homecoming court so it meant a lot to me to be able to wear it again. My amazing mom made my veil, hairpiece and diamond sash—she actually hand-sewed all of it!
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
There are two things that keep sticking out in my mind from that night. During the ceremony when Ty and I were reciting our vows, I forgot a word and had to ask the priest to repeat it; all I could do was laugh about it. I knew I was going to mess something up because that was what I was most nervous about. I had actually asked the priest right before the ceremony to help me not mess up. But during the reception, I just remember everyone dancing the night away—even our 4 wedding crashers! (Yes, we had wedding crashers).

Taco, Inc. is a leading equipment and systems supplier to the HVAC industry. Previously operating from four separate sites, Taco decided to build a warehouse distribution facility adjacent to its headquarters and main manufacturing facility in order to streamline operations and accommodate business growth. The property is located on a former brownfields site in Cranston, RI. The historic use of the turn-of-the-century masonry building was a trolley depot.
Taco's new Distribution Facility is a 60,000 SF single-story warehouse addition that provides twelve loading dock bays, 30' high clearance for storage rack systems, administrative office space, facilities for the manufacturing plant's coolant and metal chip recycling systems, and a demonstration area featuring Taco-manufactured products. The new cogeneration plant located in the existing building adjacent to the addition provides heating and cooling for 115,000 SF of office, manufacturing, and warehouse space. The Distribution Facility is organized with smaller-scale, people-oriented spaces along the street side of the site, with shipping-oriented spaces located proximal to the service roads. The Cranston Street façade is lower in height and clad in brick, providing a modern extension to the existing building....MORE

Hi everybody!
I was hoping that someone here could help me with a question about the Sutta-pitaka. I really enjoy reading Buddha-vacana, but the way that the suttas are organized (by length?) frustrates me. Are they understood to have been delivered in a certain chronological order, from the Dhammacakkapavattana sutta onward? I know that chronological order isn't necessarily important, but I feel like I would get more out of my readings if I had a better sense of their context.
I'm new to the board and had some trouble using the search function, so I apologize if this has already been covered in another thread.
I would appreciate any insight into this matter. Thanks so much for your time and patience!

Swanpool to host Bald Archy exhibition
November 30, 2012 , 12:23 PM by bronwen wade
You've probably heard of the highly-esteemed Archibald Prize for portraiture - but have you heard of its cheeky cousin the Bald Archy Prize?
Often referred to as the 'alternative Archibald, the Bald Archy is for comic or satirical portraits of well-known Australians. The fact the prize is judged by a cockatoo named Maude says it all.
The north east Victorian town of Benalla recently turned down an opportunity to host the Bald Archy exhibition next year, and when locals from the nearby community of Swanpool got wind of it they wasted no time in putting their hand up to host the exhibition instead.
"They jumped in in a flash. I thought 'these people have got their act together and they're getting it'," Bald Archy founder Peter Batey told us.
Despite originating as a bit of a joke, the Bald Archy now attracts international attention as Peter Batey discovered in 2008 when a portrait of the Danish royal family (pictured) won the prize.
"The Danish Press Association rang asking permission to reproduce the picture in every newspaper in Denmark, so we're not hiding our glory under a bushel."
The Bald Archy exhibition will be in Swanpool from August 9th-25th 2013 before travelling to Deniliquin.

This is absolutely fabulous lotion. I have tried so many products for my little one with ezcema and this is the one that has really made a difference! It works in a matter of days, absorbs in really well, and doesn't have any wheat products in it either which is great if they have a wheat allergy. Honestly I couldn't speak highly enough about this product :)

Its always been a challenge for me to find a moisturizer to put on my face that won't make me break out in a rash. I have now found it. This is not greasy, it is light weight and has no offensive odor (barely has an ordor at all). Its absorbs quickly, leaves skin feeling satiny, and doesn't make my face red. Is great under poweder-type make up. Love it.

due to our line of work, my husbands hands are aways rough and the skin cracks easily. this lotion is quickly absorbed and leaves the skin soft. About the only lotion, that works for us.

Theo Walcott says playing alongside Robin van Persie is a "dream come true".
Van Persie extended his lead at the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Liverpool, hitting a late winner to cement Arsenal's place in the top four.
Walcott has formed an excellent partnership with the Dutchman so far this season and praised his captain once more after the Anfield win.
"We have some world-class players here and obviously the one who stands out is Robin," the winger told Arsenal.com.
"The goals he is scoring from any angle are just absolutely fantastic and to be involved and watch him is just a dream come true to be honest. He is in the form of his life and we are all behind him.
"But the team as a whole are playing tremendously well. We need to try and stop conceding goals but we are winning and that is all that matters at the moment.
"We showed great character even though, to be honest, we weren't really in the game [on Saturday]," he added. "Liverpool played very well and their home support gave them that extra man.
"We found it difficult at times but it just shows the characters that we have in the dressing room, you only have to look at what we did.
"It was a good performance and a good win which hopefully we can take into Tuesday's game now."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: I just can't get behind the BBC version because I constantly want to smack Ehle. She just rubbed me the wrong way; smug is a good word for it (or simpering?). If only Colin Firth had thrown her into the lake I'd have liked it better. Keira Knightley fits my vision of Lizzy better, since she's described in the book as lively and having a light frame from all her walking. I know the BBC version is supposed to be closer to getting in each minute plot point from the book and purists like it better for that reason, but if I want something as close to the book as possible, I just... read the book. I like film adaptations to bring the pretty and the drama. I think the 2005 version does well with both of those things, great scenery, and the tension in that scene in the rain!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State head coach Missy Doherty collected her 100th career win, as the No. 10 Nittany Lions topped No. 18 Johns Hopkins (7-7, 0-4), 12-9, on Saturday afternoon at Penn State Lacrosse Field. With the outcome, Penn State (11-4, 3-2) surpasses the 10-win plateau for the first time since 2005, the last year it earned a berth to the NCAA Championship.
Doherty, in her second year at the helm of the Nittany Lion program, owns a 100-58 (.633) career record, including a 21-12 mark in Happy Valley. The victory, Penn State's third consecutive, also clinches a winning conference record for the Nittany Lions in 2012.
Four different Nittany Lions totaled three points, including sophomore Mackenzie Cyr (Westminster, Md.) and junior Molly Fernandez (Baltimore, Md.), who each netted hat tricks. Freshmen Maggie McCormick (Eldersburg, Md.) (2 goals, 1 assist) and Tatum Coffey (Toms River, N.J.) (1 goal, 2 assists) also contributed to the balanced offensive attack.
Penn State jumped out a 3-1 lead eight minutes into the game, getting goals from McCormick, Cyr, and Fernandez. After nearly another eight minutes, this time of scoreless play, Johns Hopkins netted a goal to pull to within one.
Back-to-back goals by McCormick and senior Aly Adams (Springfield, Pa.) pushed the Lions' lead to 5-2 with 8:11 remaining in the half. In what would be a reoccurring theme throughout the game, Johns Hopkins answered back, recording consecutive goals to again make it a one-goal contest.
Cyr would then give Penn State a little breathing room before halftime, putting in her second of the day to make the game 6-4 at the break.
After six-plus minutes of scoreless action to start the second half, Penn State built its largest lead of the game, using goals by freshman Haley Ford (White Hall, Md.), her ninth in the last four games, and Fernandez to go up 8-4.
Held without a goal through the first 14:32 of the second half by the Penn State defense, Johns Hopkins scored two within a span of 39 seconds to make the game 8-6.
Ensuing goals by Cyr and freshman Kelly Lechner (Silver Spring, Md.) then re-upped the Nittany Lions' lead to four at 10-6.
The teams traded two-goal runs for the remainder of the game, with the exception of a late free position score by JHU's Candace Rossi to account for the final 12-9 result. Penn State's goals came from Coffey, who scored her 30th of the season, and Fernandez, who completed her hat trick with just under two minutes left in game.
Penn State was outdrawn by Johns Hopkins, 16-7, but had a 15-9 advantage in ground balls.
Penn State will finish out its 2012 regular season schedule on Saturday, April 28 when it hosts Princeton (6-6) for a 3 p.m. Senior Day contest. Aly Adams, Dana Cahill (Towson, Md.), Brittaney Chamberlain (Finksburg, Md.), Kelsey Hughes (Severna Park, Md.),Colleen Shea (Baltimore, Md.), Elaine Welch (Bernardsville, N.J.), and Theresa Zichelli (Severna Park, Md.) will appear in their final regular season game in a Nittany Lion uniform. A special ceremony to honor their careers and contributions will precede the contest

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|James I was thinking along those same lines. It's just that I was concerned about their so called "dubious reputation". They can't be all that bad surely now?
|Couldn't you snag some Pro-toplines down there way cheaper than a head made here in the states? I've heard that they make some "factory replacement" vortec chambered heads??
|I have toyed with that idea of going the 327 route too......but being human and never satisfied, I'd wanna go all the way and have the 350 crank or even the monster 383! The only thing in the 307's favor right now is that the pick up that it's in weighs very little, about 1250kg's (2800 pounds?), and scoots along quite nicely thank you very much. The pick up is not unlike your El Camino and in fact, fooled a Canadian friend who thought it was just that. We have a few importers over here that sell used engines and parts. I might inquire. I'll give you an example of what we pay over here (Aus currency). Vortec heads $1100 or $1350 for upgraded ones. $350 for a performer manifold. Crane camshaft $300+ and not including lifters. Chevy high performance magazine $10.00......your price? $3.99. When you add 25% for the currency loss and freight there still should be change left over. Anyway, I did myself a favor and bought $200 US worth of parts from Northernautoparts which came to $295 Aus including $35 freight. Was at my door step in about 31/2 weeks. Now if they could ship those heads over I'd be over the moon! I've heard your comments about the Pro Lightning heads. Is that founded yet? Or is it just that no one's accepting these foreigns items ( they're from New Zealand I believe). Looking at some engine combos, I've seen the sportsman II heads to have much more performance capability for not much more cost. I reckon they would be the trick and would be ideal for if ever I choose to go up in cubes. Bye for now. Rob
|I agree with Bob, the vortecs like to crack, I`ve seen one pair that was cracked in 5 places. as for the 307 goes, if you want a 327, get a 350 block and use the 307 crank, order a set of 327 pistons and you have a 327.
|Robinson Robin
|Yup my vote goes to the world's S/R heads too. They make up for their slightly less performance in much better quality.
Thanks to all who chose to answer my question. It pretty much sums up what I had thought. That the Vortecs have a slight edge in performance and efficiency, but the Worlds are better in every other area particularly quality, compatability and durability.
The only reason I would choose the Vortecs would be if I ever updated my block to a 350 or 383, and that I do not know! Again thanks.
|If you are going to spend the money go with the SR Torker. These are so much better quality casting there is no comparison. Plus they have a thick deck and are FAR more crack proof than the Vortec. Seems the last half dozen Vortecs I've magged have been broken/cracked.
The s/r heads will bolt up to your stock parts, but I assume that you will be getting an aftermarket intake manifold when you buy the new set of heads anyway. From what I have seen, the Vortecs will make more hp and torque than the s/r's. I had a 355 with vortec heads and I loved it. Below is a website that has alot of different engine combonations so you can compare the heads you are looking at and make your decision. If you buy the vortecs, buy them from Scoggin Dickey. You would need to get the heads with the upgraded spring package which will require machine work. Scoggin Dickey offers a set of Vortec heads with the machine work and springs that can handle up to .525 lift for $635 for the assembeled set.
Good luck,
|machine shop tom
|No the 307 can't be bored to 4.00". Go with the S/R Torquers. They have screw-in studs, are set up better for springs, and use a "normal" manifold.
vortec or world s/r torquer heads?
Not so long ago I discovered that the pickup my friend had sold me has a 307, and not the 327 as claimed. It's a Canadian casting but I don't have the numbers here with me right now. It's not his fault as the auction house and previous owner before him claimed that it was a 327, and I got the pamphlet to prove it. I guess I should change my name to club307, he he!
Anyway I'm wanting to dump the truck heads as they've got 70cc chambers and small valves. The RH head also has a huge crack below the exhaust ports, but thankfully it barely weeps any coolant at all! I love the results I've read about the vortec heads and am willing to put up with all the changes required to run them. However, I've also seen that World products make dedicated heads for the small bore SBC such as the 305 and 307. These I believe have large valves (1.940" + 1.500"), use standard type manifolds, valve covers and rockers. They also have 58cc combustion chambers which really do it for me! The part number is 955-042650. Please don't suggest that I go for a 350, 400, 383 or whatever coz I'm not going to pay the $800 we are charged over here for a bare used 350 block.
Another friend of mine has said that it could also have been bored 4inches to make it a 327, but I told him that these cylinders are too thin for that. But as he's into building competition engines and knows something, he says that he's done that to quite a few 307's over here. Mind you it's the Australian cast 307's that he reckons are capable for over boring coz of the thicker walls. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Rob

Provo • Visions of Wisconsin dance through the heads of BYU football players and coaches heads when they study film of Notre Dame's offensive line.
That's not a good thing. The Badgers ran for 229 yards against BYU in a 27-17 win two weeks ago and racked up 425 total yards. The Cougars sacked Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave just once, for a 5-yard loss.
Linebackers coach Kelly Poppinga said the Cougars will have to handle the Irish's line much better if they hope to win Saturday's game at Notre Dame Stadium (1:30 p.m. MST, NBC).
"I think Notre Dame's offensive line is a little more athletic," Poppinga said. "Maybe not quite as big as Wisconsin, but a little more athletic. And maybe even a little more physical. They push guys around, do a good job getting a push at the line of scrimmage."
The down linemen in BYU's 3-4 scheme Bronson Kaufusi, Eathyn Manumaleuna and Remington Peck are mostly healthy, but the linebacking corps is thin after the loss of Spencer Hadley. The senior suffered a knee injury on the fifth play against Wisconsin and will not play Saturday.
Notre Dame wore down the BYU defense in the second half en route to a 17-14 win last year.
"Our defense needs to play with confidence and go in there and have fun," Poppinga said. "Last year, that's what we did for the first half. We have to play a whole game this time because we played great in the first half. The second half, they did some things to get some yards on us."
Former Cougar dies
Former BYU offensive lineman Nick Longshore died Wednesday from injuries sustained in an ATV accident near Idaho Falls, Idaho. Longshore was on BYU's roster from 2004 to 2006. He redshirted in 2004 after arriving from Canyon High in Santa Clarita, Calif.
Longshore and his wife, Caroline, who is pregnant with the couple's second child, lived in the northern Utah town of West Haven.
Longshore signed with Cal State Northridge out of high school, but the football program was eliminated while he was on an LDS Church mission in the Philippines from 2000 to 2002. He played at College of the Canyons before transferring to BYU.
Kelly announced Thursday that star defensive tackle Louis Nix III underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in his knee and is out for the season. Former BYU recruit Kona Schwenke and Jarron Jones will share the snaps at nose guard Saturday. ... Wet, wintry weather conditions are expected in South Bend. The Cougars have scored points in 122 consecutive games, and have not been shut out since a 3-0 loss to Utah in a blizzard in 2003. BYU has scored in 481 of its last 482 games since 1975.

Youth unemployment may be a growing fear across the country, but Students at one college are learning the skills to buck the trend.
About 250 students from Abingdon and Witney College took part in a Dragon's Den-style competition this week.
Pitching new ideas to a board of local businesspeople, it is hoped the Take The Plunge experience will give them a headstart.
Co-ordinator of the event, Jenny Craig, said: "The toughest issue facing students leaving education is the huge wave of young people that all land on the job market at the same time.
"Take the Plunge is about giving them a practical headstart to take control of their lives and ride ahead of the wave into a career they want."
All the students that took part in the two-day event from Monday at the Kassam Stadium were studying vocational courses.
They are all taking part in the college's Professional Futures programme, aimed at improving employability.
The competition was supported by 20 local and national employers, including Ricoh Europe, Pavilion Publishing, Zest Digital and Oxford Innovation Ltd.
Students were divided into teams and told to create, develop and finally pitch their product or service to the "dragons".
They included Peter Wherritt, a director at Oxford RF Sensors, who said: "It was very worthwhile.
"Everyone got a lot out of it, including the people on the other side of the panel.
"Some of the ideas were pretty unfeasible but the fact they had thought them through and developed them was very very impressive."
He was joined by fellow 'Dragon' judges Alison Wymbs from Wymbs HR Recruitment, CEO of Firestar Energy Ltd Andrew Guise and Jayne Finn from Qorus.
Six winning teams, whose ideas ranged from transparent kitchen equipment and minature make-up to a heated mattress cover for infants, were presented with £200.
Among them was 17-year-old Ashleigh Brant from Chilton, who said: "I really enjoyed meeting the employers as we learned so much.
"It really boosted my self-confidence so I will be much more prepared for real job interviews."
Fellow student Mathew Boffin, 17, from Didcot added: "It brought enterprise skills to life. This will really build my CV to help me get a better job in the future."

Hello -
The first thing that comes to my mind here is explaining the difference between P models and SP models. I know right now I won't be able to answer your question fully, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable (*ahem* Growler perhaps) can answer what I can't.
SP = Sig Pro. These models were developed with polymer frames to make them lighter. The slide, barrel, trigger assembly, and slide rails are all still metal, but the frame and grips and such are polymer. This results in the gun being lighter but also feeling top heavy until you have a loaded mag inserted to balance it out. The P models, like the P226, are fully metal and are not made with a polymer frame.
I have a SP2022 in .40, and it is a great gun. As for the SP2009, I think it is still in production, as well as the SP2340.
Good luck. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Josh Gordon, policy director with the Concord Coalition, told us in a phone interview that ideally, the president would have said that his plan reduces deficits by $600 billion relative to where things stand right now with the sequester in place. But it's also perfectly plausible to present the numbers as part of an ongoing deficit reduction effort that began with the Budget Control Act.
"I think that's a valid way to look at it," Gordon said. "I don't think there's a big attempt to mislead here. The key is that even though the sequester is current law, it's debatable whether it is possible to keep it up in its current form for 10 years. I would argue that it is not sustainable for 10 years in its current form." . . .
The Concord Coalition said in January that $4 trillion in deficit reduction "would hardly mean the 'job is finished.' " After Obama released his budget, the Concord Coalition said it was a "credible framework," but called for a "more ambitious" bipartisan attempt to reduce the debt.

Indonesian society has traditionally been a center of moderate Muslims and there are not many examples of violent terrorist activity emanating from the country. A decision of the Coordinating Board for Monitoring Muslim Beliefs In Society officially recommended to the Attorney General that the Ahmadiyah sect should be banned as advocating deviant ideas from the traditional Muslim religion. It noted, Ahmadiyeh continued to follow activities and interpretations that deviate from Islamic teachings. As a consequence, it has caused unrest and conflict within society." Many Islamic organizations and scholars sharply criticised the decision as one which will only foster hatred and violence against members of the group. A major issue with the sect is its belief that others can be held in the same reference as one holds Muhammad.
The Ahmadiyeh sect is not creating disturbances in Indonesia. Any violence is not by them against other Muslims but stems from stirring up people to engage in violence against fellow Muslims who differ on some key points in the religion. Once the pattern is set that an official body determines what is or is not religiously correct, the end result may backfire on those who now attack members of the Ahmadiyeh sect.

After a week in which the conservative media have defended Herman Cain against sexual harassment allegations by alleging that progressives are racist, conservative blogger Dan Riehl has shown what a racial attack really looks like. Riehl called Cain a "jive talking huckster."
From a post on Riehl World View:
It's been clear that Conservatism has lacked for strong political leadership for some years. Fortunately, there are several bright young stars coming up that offer hope for Conservatism's future. I'm by no means writing it off completely as a movement. But that so many conservatives, driven by nothing more than negative emotions, would allow themselves to be drawn in by a jive talking huckster with silly cobbled together at the last minute plans designed more for pizza box sloganeering, than governing a great nation, is embarrassing.

Hi, does anyone have a detailed shot of how the actual survival blade's edge should look?
Printable View
Hi, does anyone have a detailed shot of how the actual survival blade's edge should look?
I would start here http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/wiki/27878
Thanks for the link Asok. Unfortunately I already have that reference photo. I'm starting to assume there isn't a lot of info on this topic... considering most of the blade is covered by a pocket anyway.
However I thought it might be better to do a quick drawing and ask a few questions.
1. For the blade's edge does the bevel go all the way around (e.g. option A) or does it stop just past the tip on the right hand side (e.g. option B)?
2. How should the top profile of the knife look? Should it be squared off in option A or rounded as it's seen in option B?
And finally...
3. Am I just being anal-retentive about this?:lol
Well, I can answer question 3 for you...
Good luck!
I think that what asok's point is if I read the material right, is that the 'knife' blade is not necessarily a blade.
The reference of a blade, is actually another interpretation of the blade, dont by don post studios. The actual part, is not long enough to have a blade, and theres no proof/reference that they 'created' the blade for it.
Some costumers create a blade out of it, to 'idealize' its use, but theres no data that shows that the blade is any mor ethan the top of the stirrer cut off. Therefore negating the though of 'how the blades bevelled'.
So technically, to be cannon, in most of the experts eyes, just the 'handle with 4 holes' with the 'rim flashing' ground down to be more like a knife butt is all that is necessary. As long as you cut it the right height so that the appropriate amount sticks out of your shin tool pocket.
I hope that helps.
Therefore this is believed the 'likely' way the blade looks.
Hi Stormrider, you read the material right and I hear what you're saying... I also hear what Batninja's saying. ;)
I know that the part in question is most likely a dark room stir stick. With that being said I saw the "knife" option in the "Star Wars visual dictionary". I figured there were a few option... considering there are different versions to the rest of the shin tools. I personally prefer the look of the knife blade over the stir stick. I'm just looking for opinions on how the knife blade should/would've been beveled. It's not clear in the book's microscopic photo.
Heh heh, not to "whiz in anyone's cornflakes" or anything, but personally. I'm going with the cut off stirring stick! I'm not wasting time trying to re-create "functional" shin tools, because as stated, the "real" ones probably were not. I also feel the SWVD tools are all in all kind of dumb looking! :D I don't think there would be much "survival" with that dopey, dullest ever looking butterknife!! OK rant done! :D Seriously though, maybe long after I'm done, and I'm bored (read: never) I'll go back and make "complete" shin tools, but its low on the list for me. Guess that didn;t add anything constructive to this thread... :O So let me finish by saying, since none of them are "right" make them how YOU like them best!
Well, than id take into account that a 'flat back edge' would cause a wound that blead a lot more. A blade that is sharp on both sides, creates a would that shuts. A square side, makes a wound that stretches and tears open. so if you really want a nasty weapon, square on one side:)
Kudos for those replicating the Visual Dictionary versions, though. Those versions are just not what was worn in the films.
If it helps, I made mine with the beveled edge just to the tip, with the other edge squared. I just went with what I thought looked good.
I worked on these a few weeks ago. Just got around to posting some photos.

Hi everyone
Does anyone know whether a section 42 can be assigned twice? What I would like to do is outlined below:
1)The leaseholder has passed away and her executor has served a Section 42.
2) I buy the flat and on completion, I am assigned the benefit of this Section 42.
3) I renovate the property.
4) I sell the property assigning the benefit of the Section 42 to the new buyer.
In other words I wouldn't be extending the lease myself but passing the benefit of the section 42 on.

On the Hill ski report: Vail sees snow, good conditions
December 24, 2012
Brought to you by The Steadman Clinic and the Steadman Philippon Research Institute.
Vail official report: 1″ new snow
Vail Daily field report: 1″ light and fluffy snow
Weather: A little colder today, some clouds and fog but sun is poking through at times
Liftline status: Not bad anywhere
Run of the day: Gandy Dancer was groomed
Breakdown: With just an inch or two of new snow, the surface was soft this morning as a nice contrast to the bulletproof surfaces we've been seeing in the a.m. hours as of late. The inch we did receive is fluffy and nice, and should mix in well with the existing surface as temps warm and conditions return to spring skiing this afternoon.
Snowcast: A similar pattern to this one may hang out today, but the next few days look dry.
On the Hill is shot with a GoPro HERO3 Silver Edition.

$1800 or best offer remember cash talks
EDIT: Now that I have time to make a thorough post here it is
I have a 2002 WRX sedan in PSM for sale. I'm going to start off with that it will need some work. The motor has a bad piston which mean, rebuild. The clutch is starting to slip. Right now the power steering is not hooked up. The pump is out but I can get a working pump for it. The feed line to the rack has been cut so that will need replaced. It also needs a reservoir and soft lines for the power steering. I had it hooked up for a little while working after I blew the first pump but I disconnected it. The reason being that somewhere in the lines or the rack there is a leak. I don't know where though. The cruise control module is out of the car right now but I do have it along with the silver bracket that holds it to the strut tower. The boost control solenoid is also out of the car right now. I need to buy some vacuum line to reinstall it. The radiator has been replaced. It was replaced May of last year with one from a 2004 WRX. The timing belt was done in October of 2008 at 103K with a Gates Racing belt. The previous owner had also done the timing belt so this is the third. Mine was done not knowing that the original owner had done it. The water pump was also replaced when I replaced the timing belt. The front rotors and pads were replaced in July of 2009 with AutoZone specials. I haven't had any issues with them and there's still about 40% life left in the pads. The rear pads were done in September of 2010. The tires are 225/50-16 no name installed in April of 2010 at 140K. They still have about 50% tread. There are wear marks in the carpet near the pedals due to not having floor mats in the car. There are no tears or stains in the interior otherwise. Never smoked in at all while I've had the car. The rear seatbelts have been removed but will be included. The trunk carpeting is not in the car. The spare tire and jack will be included. The body is in decent condition. There are a few small dents in the hood and trunk and the usual rock love on the front end. The car does have Forester springs and struts and was aligned by IAG in March of 2010. The specs were 0.8 camber in the front and 1.4 in the rear with toe being 0 the whole way around. There is a K&N drop in filter in the stock airbox with the bottom cut out. I have a Turbosmart Supersonic bov on the car. The exhaust is HKS downpipe with a stock cat back.
OLD: For sale is my 2002 WRX in Platinum Silver Metallic. It's a sedan with 159K. As far as I know it's the original trans. The interior isn't torn up, just no trunk carpeting. I don't have the cruise control module installed right now and there is no power steering pump but I can find one that works. The motor is going to need rebuilt a there's a bad piston. The clutch also needs replaced. The mod list is as follows:
K&N drop in filter with hacked stock box
Turbosmart Supersonic BOV
HKS downpipe
Forester springs and struts
WC Lathe Works Stainless piston shift knob
I'll have pics once it clears up as all I have is my Evo for a camera. Also my PM box is near full, shoot me an email through my profile.

Welcome to another installment of Hockey Fights of the Week. This week we're preaching balance. Three of the five fights this week are pretty lopsided, but all five bouts fall into a similar category. Each scrap you see below is solid, but it's highly doubtful any of these altercations will be remembered as one of the year's best. 5. Nick Foligno (CBJ) vs Tom Sestito (VAN) - Nov 22 This fight may deserve to be higher up on this list. How awesome is it when a guy throws a punch and pops the opponent's helmet off? Extremely awesome. Here it happens twice which automatically makes this fight a winner in our book. 4. Jared Boll (CBJ) vs Luke Gazdic (EDM) - Nov 19 Check out these massive swings. Both players are unleashing wild, heavy punches. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for both players), very few punches come close to finding the mark. Who wins this one? Flip a coin. 3. Colin Greening (OTT) vs Luke Schenn (PHI) - Nov 19 Schenn knew he was in a fight, right? Greening dominates the action here, landing numerous punches before Schenn even knows what hit him. Schenn was able to control the fight for all of five seconds, but he mostly looked foolish in this one. 2. Brenden Dillon (DAL) vs Ryan Reaves (STL) - Nov 23 Reaves deserves an award for the number of awesome fights he's been apart of this season. Here he battles Dillon and beats him so badly that he actually broke his hand in the altercation. Sadly, we won't be featuring Reaves in any tilts until his hand heals. Bad news for the Blues, worse news for fans of hockey fights. 1. Krys Barch (FLA) vs Brian McGrattan (CGY) - Nov 22 You'll find McGrattan's name on our list almost every single time he drops the gloves. McGrattan's tilt with Barch is yet another reason why the Calgary forward is truly one of the most entertaining fighters in the NHL. Will we see McGrattan next week? Odds are pretty good.

A week away from GUADEC, isn't it about time that those of you who want to have meetings in Stuttgart went over to the wiki and started planning them?
We also have lightning talks planned for Monday morning.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, a lightning talk is a quick in-out, maximum 5 minutes of a talk, where you pitch a BOF or project, say why something you did recently was a success or failure, or anything else. There's advice on lightning talks over at perl.com.
The Freeform group session might be mystifying some, so here's the low-down: the Freeform Group session is about getting warm & fuzzy together, pouring all that enthusiasm into one big overflowing cornucopia of ideas. Each session in the freeforms should have a leader, who will come back and give us the 3 to 5 minute summary of all the great stuff that came out of their session. Hopefully, we'll get in a big feedback loop, ideas generating ideas, plans linking to other plans, and we all spend the whole night in the pub going "wow!".
Anyway, that's the plan.
The alternative is that we all spend Monday twiddling our thumbs.
Up to you.
Monday afternoon will stay unplanned, as long as people do not grab hold of it and plan stuff.
I repeat, Monday afternoon will stay unplanned. There is no safety net.
So let's get wowsome.

Dropping fuel pressure problem fixed!
Hey everyone. Here is the latest update on my problem. Today I disconnected the electric fuel pump, re-adjusted the carb and timing and changed the liquid filled fuel pressure gauge to a non-liquid gauge. Started it up and watched the temp reach 180. The fan came on, the fuel pressure stayed at 6 psi and the temp reached up to 220 degrees before I shut it off.
The pressure never dropped below 6 psi. I don't know what happened but it seems to be OK now. So I want to thank EACH and EVERY one of you for your help. I was about to give completely up. So again I thank all of you guys.
Wow, three relays for two fans.....you are a circuit junky.
I agree on my fan situation, and I will likely switch them up when I get time. It was one of those last minute, to start the engine I need to do this kindof things. It is fused at 20A which should pop before the wire melts. I was surprised myself that it has not popped yet. I just goes to show you that engineering in saftey factors can become redundant since every engineered piece of any system as a 20-50% saftey factor. They all add up to many times what is actually needed in some cases. I think cooling fans might be one of these instances.
I understand where you are coming from. If you are not going to wire the relay right it's not worth doing. I also agree with the calculating wire size and if you bump the size up enough that will help. The problem is your average Joe doesn't understand this. That still would prevent the problem with an automotive switch being able to carry the load either. Since you wired your directly to the fuse box there is no switch in the circuit to fail.
Personally I really think you are pushing it with your fans on a single 12 gauge. For short periods that should be fine but, if you ever get out and drive for any length of time you are running the risk of a slight melt down. I ran my duel fans off of three relays (I work on fault tolerant systems, so I am a little anal), that way any two of the relays could fail and I would still have my fans. Most fans need a fuse and relay rated at 30 amps, you are running two fans on a single fuse/wire. In a drag race only application you will probably never see a problem. I drive my cars long distances and they see a lot of street time, so they have to be rock soild and dead reliable.
If it works for you that's fine.
Royce, I thought that is what you are getting at. I am a sr. engineer for a controls company and I completely understand your point. While a relay is a great way to elimate problems, calculating voltage drop and load on the wire based on its rated drops will prove alot of times that a bump in wire size will work fine. That said, I do agree that the relay is the best way, but not the only. However, it is pivotal to understand why the relay is important and how to wire it. If the relay is poorly placed or wire size is not taken into account, you are still pissing in the wind.
I actually run my fans on my truck straight off the fuse box(because I was too lazy to install a relay and run the wire)and have the pump relayed. I have two fans on one 12 guage at about an 8 foot length wire with no issues at all.
Electronics is my profession. The reason a relay is the "only" way to run any electric motor is simple. Running a long smaller gauge wire will result in a voltage drop the longer the wire and smaller the diameter the more the voltage drop. Using a relay when wired correctly will eliminate the drop. You also do not want to run long runs of "hot" wire in and out of the car if you can help it, that is just more potential for a short/fire. The last and more important note is there are very few automotive switches that can handle a constant high amperage draw. The switch will fail it is a matter of time. The is more to electricity that "voltage", current (amps) is the thing to be careful of. I am not sure what I said that "you had a problem/hard time with"? If he was running 2 gauge wire and a circuit breaker to the motors (electric) then there probably wouldn't be any worries. The thing is that is usually not the case. People tend to use the same size wire that is on whatever they are wiring. On the fuel pump it is probably 14-16 gauge, a run of wire that small to a constant draw from the front of a car to the rear will have a voltage drop and also get hot, if it gets hot enough the vinyl will melt and that's how fires start.
I still say 100% the problem has either been compounded or mis diagnosed. There is NO possible way the fans turning on would effect the mechanical fuel pump. I will agree it "could" effect the electric pump. With the pressure dropping to 2 psi, that tells me there is another problem and I think it's just a coincidence it happens about the time the fans turn on.
Another thing I would like to see tested is this (to eliminate the fans), start the car run the garden hose into the radiator, regulate water flow just enough to keep the engine cool without the fans. I am willing to bet one the engine gets to operating temperature or run whatever amount of time it takes for the fuel pressure to drop, it will happen again (even without the fans). If I'm wrong I will drive down to Bakersfield and fix it myself. The problem is not the fans and I doubt it is the fuel pump or pumps. It's either the pressure sender/gauge or some restriction in the fuel system, I agree it could be heat related.
One last point when did you set the fuel pressure? Did you do it cold? If so that could very well be your problem. You need to set the fuel pressure with the engine warm and running. If you set it cold or with the engine off, then the pressure drop is happening because once the fuel bowl/s are low the regulator is not letting enough fuel through to keep the pressure up. Once the fuel pump (electric)/and fuel heats up pressure will go down a bit. Cold fuel is dense, warm fuel is not, it is perfectly normal to see the fuel pressure go lower on hot days.
Another VERY important thing we haven't covered or mentioned. Where is this electric pump mounted? If it is above the fuel supply that can create a problem. Also you need to have a filter before the electric pump (meaning between the tank and the pump).
Lots of good theories so far but one very small but very, very significant one hasn't been mentioned.
The voltage sensing wire on the alternator. If it's connection is too close to the alternator the alternator may not increase output sufficiently to maintain voltage when the fan comes on. That would cause the pressure drop you're describing.
Do an amperage/voltage test to see if the alternator is bumping output to compensate for the increased load. If it isn't, the voltage sensing wire may be too short for the alternator to accurately determine the neccessary output and adjust accordingly, the diodes may be bad too. Install a longer wire to make the connection as far away from the alternator as possible.
A 100amp alternator should have no problem maintaining power. If you have a one wire alternator, you have an entirely different situation .
Just for HA HA's, take a set of jumper cables or wires and ground the firewall/chassis to the engine block and see if the problem changes. If the low pressure problem was present with the mechanical pump as well, I would have to lean towards a heat related problem (vapor lock etc.). Then again, this might be one of those "you had to be there" kinda things.
Maybe Doc can post a little tutorial with pics/figures on how to do a voltage drop test and resistance test. Very simple to perform with a common DMM/VOM. Or you could give the ground thing a shot for the heck of it. HTH
The fact that the pump is petering out as soon as the fans come on is a dead give away. That likely means that the fans are lowering voltage when they come on due to the increased amp draw. You need to measure voltage at the pump when the problem occurs. Untill you do that there is no more need to discuss anything really.
|Hey turbo explain to me why you think it's partially a voltage problem?
From what you are describing, it is most certainly at least partially voltage related. You need to monitor that and tell us what it shows.
Royce, I am having a hard time with the relay statement. While running, system voltage should be constant unless there is a strange wiring situation where an overamperage is occuring.
Hello everyone. Thanks for responding. Hey Tech, I was wondering if the gauge was faulty. I do have another pressure gauge that is not liquid filled so maybe I'll try it. I agree with camaroman, I shouldn't need two fuel pumps, but I was told before that adding an electrical fuel pump would eliminate my vapor lock problem. If I were to by-pass the mechanical pump for test purposes, would I mess it up if I left it installed on my motor? As for having relays, yes I do have both the fan and electric fuel pump on relays.
As for it spitting and sputtering, it hasn't done that since June 2004. I haven't driven it since then so I don't know how far down it will actually go. As for now it will drop down to around 2-4 psi at idle after the engine temp reaches 200 degrees. I have a liquid filled pressure gauge mounted in-line between my regulator and fuel filter.
When the engine is warming up the pressure gauge reads 7 psi. Once the engine reaches 180 degrees and the electric fan comes on, the pressure gauge slowly starts to drop down to 2 psi. At this point the operating temperature shows 190 to 200 degrees. I have a liquid filled temperature gauge mounted in my intake. I must admit that I know nothing about electrical stuff. I had wired the entire truck with the E-Z wire harness. Everything was labeled so I wired it according to the instructions. I Think?
If I didn't mention this before, the truck used to run just fine. One day I was driving it when it started spitting and sputtering. I looked at my clear fuel filter and it was nearly empty at idle. after sitting for a while it started up but as soon as it warmed up again it would sputter and die. At that time it just had the mechanical pump and a smaller electric fan.
Now I have a bigger fan (3300 CFM) and electric pump and it still does it. i am about to lose my mind here.
There is no way the RPM level is dropping enough to make a mechanical pump lose pressure. Even an A/C compressor doesn't drag the RPM down enough the lose fuel pressure. We are all taking educated guesses because we can't see/hear/feel the problem. In a situation like this we need ALL the details possible. What has been tried, etc...
The problem is getting compounded by adding pumps, changing pumps, etc.. and not going back to the baseline. If you change something and it doesn't fix the problem you need to return back to where you started, that way you don't introduce "new" problems to the situation. Troubleshooting really isn't hard (I have done it for a living my whole life).
You should not "need" both a mechanical and electric fuel pump, pick one and stick with it. The mechanical pump should be more than enough on it's own as well. Running the mechanial pump, the fuel pressure drop shouldn't happen at all as long as the engine was still running (I don't care how low the RPMs drop).
Now by adding the electric pump, I can see how it would "restrict" flow if the power level drops (ie... from the fans), this could "possibly" limit the fuel pressure the mechanical pump could provide.
If it was my car I would, eliminate one pump or the other. Monitor the voltage and fuel pressure to see if the drop is related. You can buy a inexpensive volt meter and mechanical fuel gauge, wire and plumb them, tape them to the windshield and cruise around your neighborhood. this will give you a much better idea of what's going on. If you go with the mechanical pump there is no way the fans coming on is causing you pressure drop.
When you say the pressure drops how low is it dropping? Does it continue to drop slowly until it bottoms out? Does it drop instanly to a certain point and sit there? You need to eliminate the digital gauges for trouble shooting, the problem could very well be the gauge/s or sender.
You never said (or at least I didn't see) if you have relays running both the pump and the electric fans. If you don't the the fuel pressure drop is the least of your worries (fire being a bigger worry). Also neither eletric motor is getting full battery voltage if a relay is not used (and wired correctly).
Where are you taking the fuel pressure reading from? (regulator, carb, inline, etc..)
Eliminate the Power
Doc here,
One way to eliminate the Power, Is put a meter where you can monitor it, on the battery, should read 13.2 to 14.4 static....(not running)
Then, REMOVE the alternator belt, Run the engine (carefully monitoring the TEMP, Don't overheat it!) and watch the volt meter, and pressure regulator...When it comes up to temp and the fan cuts in look at the battery voltage, and regulator, do they both still drop?
If not, you have the fan circuit Taxing the system , imposing almost a "Rotor Lock " condition on the alternator....causing RPM drop, hence low pressure...
Next reinstall the belt, and pull the fan relay, or disable it...run the test again...
If it still drops, most likely it's mechanical...look elsewhere.
I had to go back and re~read the thread, (unless I missed it, which is highly possible) you didn't say when this pressure drop occurs, did the RPM's drop...Like the Choke coming off the detent...(or possibly in this case, more drag on the engine from the alternator)
|Tech @ BG
In one of the later posts it reads as though the engine doesn't spit or sputter anymore now that is has the electric pump on, just that the pressure fluctuates.
Since the problem has occured with, and without an electric fuel pump, it is most likely not an electrical problem. Since it also occurs with the cap off, it is most likely not a venting problem. It could be a heat soak, or vapor situation. Try insulating the fuel lines, and possibly running a fan over everything when tuning to see if that makes a difference.

Earliest Reopening of SAIS since 2003!
Arizona Department of Education Opens Student Accountability Information System for 2012 School Year
Historic July 11 Opening Marks Earliest Availability for Schools Since 2003
Phoenix, AZ, July 18, 2011– Today, the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) announced that the Student Accountability Information System (SAIS) was opened to Arizona's public schools for the 2012 school year. Last week's July 11 opening of SAIS marks the earliest time that the system has become available for schools to input their student information since the 2003 school year.
"This is a tremendous accomplishment by the Department's CIO Mark Masterson and his entire team," said Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal. "This dramatic turnaround from last year – when SAIS didn't become available to schools until October – is something that Mark's team should feel very proud of and exemplifies ADE's focus on providing 'knock your socks off' customer service."
SAIS is used by the state's schools to upload their student information records to ADE. Among its many functions, SAIS collects and aggregates detailed student educational data used to compute state and federal funding, to be used for local, state and federal reporting requirements and to track the academic achievement and growth of schools, districts and charters in Arizona's public education system.
Upon taking office in January of 2011, Superintendent Huppenthal made fixing the SAIS system one of his Administration's top priorities. Opening SAIS in July marks another dramatic improvement in the Department's handling of the data system. In addition to this important milestone, under Superintendent Huppenthal's leadership the SAIS system has been online and available for schools nearly 100 percent of the time since January – as compared to the system being unavailable 26 weeks last year (50 percent of the time).
The Camp Verde Unified School District was the first of Arizona's schools to input their 2012 student data into SAIS following its opening on July 11.
"Due to ADE having SAIS open already, I was able to complete uploads for all my school sites on July 12, 2011," said Rhonda Austin, SAIS Supervisor for the Camp Verde Unified School District. "The early opening of SAIS facilitates the correction of errors and allows more time to make sure uploads are processing correctly, allows time to complete several uploads without SAIS closing before I have completed all corrections and enables us to get SAIS numbers for new students. I appreciate ADE working hard to make SAIS available this early."

Anne Hathaway Talks Marriage in Glamour's January 2013 Issue
With her new movie "Les Miserables" set to hit theaters on Christmas Day (December 25), Anne Hathaway continued promotions by covering the January 2013 issue of Glamour magazine.
The 30-year-old actress looked edgy in a Monrow tank with Clover Canyon briefs for the Alexei Hay shot front page while talking about topics including her dramatic weight loss to getting married.
A few highlights from Miss Hathaway's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Glamour !
On her marriage to Adam Shulman:
"I feel like I've found my other half, and I'm so excited about getting to love him for the rest of our lives. I would never have gotten married if it weren't for him. You have to want to be married to someone. You have to feel that reciprocated. Marriage for marriage's sake doesn't make any sense to me, and I found someone with whom I could put my money where my mouth is, I guess."
On her hubby:
"He's a good man. He's beyond intelligent. He loves fearlessly. His beliefs are beautiful. He's my best friend. I love him. I just feel that I have the greatest husband in the world for me. You know, we get a lot of pressure to define ourselves as women by how wild we are: How many guys did you sleep with? How drunk did you get? And we all bow to that. We've all done that walk of shame at one point or another."
On her dramatic weight loss:
"I still feel the stress over 'Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?' There's an obsessive quality to it that I thought I would've grown out of by now. It's an ongoing source of shame for me."
On the One Billion Rising campaign:
"It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that a billion women have been raped or beaten, just the enormity of that. When I was in college, I'd heard that one in four women would be raped, and I thought, God, that means I must know someone who was raped. Sure enough, I found out a week later that a friend had been. A billion is too big because one is too big."
