Nightengale: Lohse in 'Awkward' Spot as Boras Fumes
Interesting article Kyle Lohse still being unsigned. Scott Boros also provides some entertaining quotes:
"The integrity of the game,'' Boras says, "is very damaged by this system. Draft dollars is the latest currency for GMs. And the best way to earn draft dollars is to sabotage your major-league team and finish last.''"Before, teams never minded giving up a first round draft pick,'' Boras says, "because they still had the money to sign their players in the lower rounds. Now, you've taken away the structure of the scouting and developing. They have stolen our youth. They have kidnapped our children in this system.''

Most teams will not go out of their way to lose to get draft dollars because every loss contributes to fan attrition. The fan dollars are the real dollars to the owner. In general those teams losing that much are not going to spend the money on a top Boras client unless you are Miami trying to make your once every 10 year bid for a title.
Boras has to put this kind of spin on it. Lohse is coming off a career year and Boras more than likely wants him to get paid like Lohse will do it every year. I don't think there is a team out there that would do it now that the Yankees are retrenching. Boras made a mistake. Ryan Dempster received a 2 year contract at less per year than a qualifying offer, Lohse wouldn't get that kind of money regardless of the status

Why does this remind me of the guy who points a gun at your head and says, "If you don't do what I tell you I'll blow your head off, and it'll be YOUR FAULT!"?
If one of Boras's clients isn't getting the payday his agent promised him, then obviously the fault must be with the system, right?

I have to say that there is a slight flaw in the system. I think the flaw comes with the loss of the draft pick. Correct me if I am wrong but, in Lohse's situation, are the top 10 (?) picks protected so if a team in the top 10 picks of the draft sign Lohse they would lose their second round pick. Out of the teams picking in the top 10, maybe Boston would be the one team that would be alright with losing their pick. I think Cleveland lost their second round pick with the signing of Bourn. To me, this is where the flaw comes in. More often than not a team in the top 10 picks are in a rebuilding mode so drafting talent trumps the signing of a guy like Lohse. Is Lohse a good pitcher? I think so. Does it make sense for an organization like the Twins or Royals or Pirates or Rockies to sign him and lose a pick? I don't think so. Look at Seattle and San Diego. They are picking 12 and 13. Does it make sense to sign Lohse and lose that pick? I know if the Twins were picking there I wouldn't be happy if they lost their first round pick.
I haven't heard what Boars wants teams to cough up for Lohse for but for him to remain unsigned, I am guessing it is outragous. That in itself prices most teams out of the market. Kudos to the all the teams for not buying what Boras is selling.
In my opinion, I would rather roll the dice and take a guy like Barrios in the draft who may or may not become a solid MLB pitcher that sign Lohse who at this point really wouldn't make our roster that much better. The flip side to that though if we would have made a splash in free agency and sign a couple of quality pitchers, then maybe signing Lohse would be worth it.
Boras is over the top,but I feel he does this so it gets picked up by the media and people look at what is going on, but he is absolutely correct, the current hard capping of draft picks etc is pretty ridiculous. There has to be a better way to allow teams who want to spend a little bit more money on the draft then others to be allowed to do so.
I think there's something to what Boras is saying. Still he's more of a problem to the integrity of baseball then that rule change could ever be. Lohse is a fool to turn down a qualifying offer! Especially from a respectable team which is competitive every year like the Cardinals! STUPID and full of himself if he really thinks he's as good as his numbers last season. What bothers me more than him not getting the money he wants is that if he were a younger marginal pitcher he would get a huge contract he was undeserving of. They really need to reign in these contracts in baseball. Boras and the Yankee/RedSox spending wars have led to all this. Baseball needs a hard salary cap so there can be some parity.
A qualifying offer is like 13 million! How in the world can you think Lohse is worth more than that? Boras is nuts. He should be blackballed by all the owners.
Have you seen what pitchers are signing for these days? Also as a SP its really all about the length and total dollar amount, since they are always one pitch away potentially from ending their careers.
Why should Boras be blackballed? He is the best at his job and looks out for his clients, the owners make **** loads of money, so I really have no issue with him holding out for his clients.
Trying to blame all this on the draft pick compensation is crazy. Obviously Boras wants more than 13 million a year for Lohse's services which is so outlandish I don't know what to say. Lohse is average! He had 1 good year and it was largely luck that his record was so gaudy.
No...Boras wants more than a 1/13 contract for Lohse, which frankly, Lohse has earned.
It really has nothing to do with the "13 mil a year" you are talking about, for example: Which is a better contract for him to take 4 years/48 mil (12 mil per year) or 1 year 13 mil?

This may be a dumb question (they say there's no such thing...but they're almost surely wrong): Having turned down the Cardinals' qualifying offer, is there any reason he can't sign with them? They're the one team that doesn't have to worry about losing a pick to sign him (I am guessing...they can't very well give up their own pick...to themselves). Would it be too much face-saving from both sides? Would Lohse/Boras feel too silly accepting a $10-12M contract after turning down a larger one? Would the Cardinals be justified in saying, "You didn't want $13M before, and now you want us to offer it to you again?" Could they compromise at a lower per year figure, but more total money? Or is this all moot if there's something in place that disallows him to sign there at all once he declines the qualifying offer?

It's not a coincidence that most of the strikeout pitchers signed early and the last couple of arms to sign were the soft tossers who were still effective. (29) Teams are moving away from guys who don't put up reasonable K rates, it's not a surprise that Lohse and Saunders were the last two of the higher profile arms to get picked up.
Besides, who knows what Boras and Lohse were asking for to start out with. Most people had Lohse ranked as the 3-5th best free agent pitcher, knowing his agent, he likely started out pricing him on par with the 2nd best pitcher if not higher. This is how Boras has always opperated, though surely it turns many teams off.
Also, only 3 pitchers signed deals of 4 years or more, only 4 signed deals of 3 years or more. Surely Lohse and Boras had thier sights set on multiple years but teams just aren't doing that for older pitchers anymore.
He probably would have been signed by now if a draft pick wasn't involved, BUT he also probably would have been signed by now if his agent wasn't Scott Boras pulling his regular Scott Boras manuevers. There's a reason why Edwin Jackson was last year's Kyle Lohse but now has a new agent. All I have to say is:

The "system" isn't much different than it has been in the past. The current method just replaces the Type A FA classification that they had previously which also required the signing team to lose it's first round draft pick. The only real difference is you have to offer a qualifying offer instead of arbitration. Other than that it is pretty much the same. The form team takes the initial risk by making the qualifying offer (or offering arbitration). If the player accepts the team is on the hook for that 1 year salary. If the player declines, then he has to try to get the best deal that he can.
The problem is that Lohse is an average pitcher that happened to string 2 really good years together. That doesn't change the fact that he is 34 years old with a career ERA of 4.45. The problem isn't the system. Lohse made the mistake of declining the offer.
Cleveland is probably the only team that would sign him before the draft as they would only have to give up a 3rd rounder.
A team purposely loses to get a high draft pick? Give me a break. You have to overpay for a high first rounder, and you have to fight to get them to sign with your losing team, which is where I draw the line of so many guys wanting to sign with a winner over a loser, who might, just might, offer you the possibility of hitting the majors sooner rather than later. he kicker is when a guy signs and then is traded a year or two later. This whole draft thing is out-of-whack, where unproven players gets hundreds of thousands (and now millions) and you look at Seth's recent eval of the Hicks draft and look at how many of the guys from each of the past decade are still in the Twins system...why do teams do this. Which is a whole 'nother story. The bigger argument, still, if free agent compensation, I guess. When can players JUST become a free agent and not tied to any compensation. The compensation exists so SOME teams just can't sign everyone and not suffer, maybe. I kinda liked the old A-B-who cares system, tied into draft picks, and not overrode if you were traded mid-season. I don't think the qualifying offer works. Yet the Twins got something (which people complain about) for Liriano by trading him, which is more than they would've gotten if they hadn't, plus the Twins didn't have to make a qualifying offer and had the ability to undersign him, which they lowballed too much (although Liriano really got lowballed in the end, it seems). Lohse can find a job. It is just a question of what team and how much money. He should've accepted St. Louis. Frankly, I would not give him a multi-year deal for anything like his agent is harping for.

Police, public employee salaries to be explained at Sag Harbor forum
Former Suffolk Legislator Bill Jones is presenting a forum on the state's Taylor Law on Saturday because, he says, it's important to educate people about salary negotiations for public employees.

Healthy Eating: Eating Less Sodium
Part of healthy eating is eating less sodium, or salt.
Does this sound hard?
It doesn't have to be, but you do have to think about it. You need to do more than just not use the salt shaker. After all, almost all foods contain sodium naturally or as an ingredient.
You can start reducing the sodium in your diet by:
- Reading labels to see how much sodium foods contain.
- Limiting packaged foods and restaurant foods, which typically are high in sodium.
- Not adding salt to your food during cooking or at the table.
- Using low-sodium spices and sauces to add flavor to your food. Low-sodium foods can still be tasty!

Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central (GMT-6)
We have to provide an option to the user to upload files to the media gallery.
We have written the following code in the widget:
#set($GalleriesList = $core_v2_gallery.List("%{UserId = $core_v2_user.Accessing.Id}"))
#foreach($gallery in $GalleriesList)
#set($MediaGalleryUrl = $core_v2_mediaUrls.UploadMedia($gallery.Id, true))
$gallery.Name
This will provide link, that will open a popup to upload media to the gallery. But when we select a file, upload and click on save button on the popup, the popup closes and when we see the media gallery it is empty. The uploaded files are not getting listed.
Are we missing something here?
Is there any other way that we can allow the user to upload files to the site (so that these files can be used in blog posts etc).
Thanks in advance
Hi Madhu,
I might recommend instead of attempting to open the full, non-modal, view of a media gallery inside of a modal that you instead create your own modal callbak that can be displayed inside of a modal. This would be simper to build and likely provide a better user experience as the modal could show just what is necessary (upload box, save, maybe a list of galleries).
Here is an example of creating your own modal within a widget. It doesn't demonstrate how to render an upload control and accept uploads. For that, I would refer you to the existing Media Gallery Post widget's implementation.
For creating your own callback, this is documented here:
And here's an example of using it for a modal:
$core_v2_widget.GetExecutedFileUrl() is a velocity extension method designed to support scenarios where widgets wish to define their own server-side-executed callbacks for use (mainly) as custom AJAX callbacks by the widget, or in this case, as the target to display within a modal. It accepts the name of an attached velocity script file and returns a URL which, when requested against, executes the target script in velocity.
To use it, add a velocity script file to your widget, in this case, 'modalcallback.vm' by clicking 'Add New File' when editing a widget. Here's a sample for a modal callback which shows the current time and accepts text input from the user:
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>Test Modal</title>
Hello from an executed modal callback.

The current time is $core_v2_language.FormatDateAndTime($core_v2_utility.CurrentDate)

The accessing user is $core_v2_user.Accessing.DisplayName

 Type a return value
 <input id="retval" type="text" />
 <button onclick="closeModal(); return false;" type="button">Close and Send Return Value</button>
Note that the sample contains velocity script which will be executed when the ExecutedFileUrl is requested. Also note that this sample defines an entire HTML document, since modals expect to load entire documents via an iframe. The callback could just as easily contain only an HTML fragment or even literal JSON content if intended to be called via ajax. Many factory default widgets return literal JSON from callbacks after performing some API action. (The 'Activity Message List' widget is an example that returns pre-processed HTML fragments via AJAX requests made by the widget.)
Then, within the content of the main script, add the following sample:

Display Modal

 #registerEndOfPageHtml()  #end
Note the callbackUrl. This sample renders a link which opens a modal with its target set to the Executed File URL of 'modalcallback.vm'. It also demonstrates accepting a return value from the modal and displaying it within the main widget body.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Micheal, for the very detailed explanation..
Now, the actual scenario is something like this.
1. The site administrators can upload files to the site, from this path:
Dashboard » Administration » Site Administration » Manage Site Files
URL -> ../controlpanel/settings/files.aspx
From this page, the user can create folders and upload files to the site, which can later be used inside blog posts, generic content widgets etc.
2. We have another set of users (who are not site administrators). We want to build a page for them, with a widget that does exactly the same thing (I mean this set of users should be able to upload files that should be accessible site wide like in #1).
How do we go about this ?
Thank you
There is not a supported way of doing this in the Public API. Is it possible for users to either use their own individual User Files (in which they can also create folders and upload files) or just attach files directly to posts when editing them?
And of course, the notion of a shared space for multiple users to upload files maps well to a media gallery as well.
Hi Micheal,
Thanks for your responses.
Is it not possible to allow non admin users access the following path (by providing some permissions to their role)?
We don't want them to have any other permissions other than uploading files to the site (so that these files can be used by other users)
Other alternative:
If we want to built an custom widget, an provide upload funtionality, how do we get the path for storage and how do we store the uploaded files.
Also, these uploaded files must be visible on the page:
Michael, thank you for posting this quick tutorial!

In today's NYTimes was this article about a "Rembrandt" that sold at a regional auction house in the UK for $4.5 million even though it was catalogued as "by a follower of Rembrandt". The article ends with "If the experts change their minds someday, Friday's buyer will have had a bargain"…
Friday's buyer isn't an English Ira Spainerman, trust me, if the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam says its fake (which they did) it is.
But let me tell you the back-story, the one that takes place before the NYTimes picked it up, and I'll do it like a Visa commercial.
A guy gets an insurance appraisal (₤2000). The appraiser finds this unusual work in this local home and gets excited (priceless). He sends some jpegs to Christie's and Sotheby's Old Master departments and they ask them to bring the work to London (₤50 parking and city driving tax). Upon inspection, one or both of the auction agents first checks the Art Loss Registry (₤100 each) to make sure it wasn't stolen. It wasn't so they take new images of the work – front, corners, details of hands and hair and verso and send transparencies to the associate they just got off the phone with at the Rijksmuseum (₤250). The Rijks, which is the employer of the leading scholars in Dutch painting, needs to see the work in person. The owner of the work is told by the auction house that someone will have to authenticate the work and that could be costly (₤2500), but that "they would be happy to subtract that fee from the seller's commission after the sale…" (Estimated sale price if the Rembrandt were real ₤26 million).
2 Dutch board and plane and travel to London to inspect the work (₤500). It doesn't meet their requirements and they go home, this time on Ryan Air (₤15). The appraiser advises the guy to go to a smaller regional auction house and have them sell the work so atleast he'll make back the authentication fee and the appraiser will finally get an introductory commission (2% of sale price) from some auction house. The auction house decides to sell the work but since the leading authority already gave it the no, they decide to catalogue the work including the word "follower". Now Reader, please see below for important information regarding what these below clauses mean in your auction catalogue:
a. "Attributed to" – work is of the period of the named artist and maybe the work of that artist, but not definitely so.
b. "Circle of" – work of the period closely associated with the artist or from his studio.
c. "School of' – work by a pupil or follower of the artist, in his style.
d. "After" – in our opinion, a copy of the work of the artist.
e. "Signed" – has a signature which in our qualified opinion is the signature of the artist.
f. "Bears signature" – has signature which in our qualified opinion, might be the signature of the artist.
Story continues – On Friday, someone buys a painting from "the School of Rembrandt" for at a regional auction house ($4.5million).
Local guy ($4.05 million after his 10% seller's commission)
Appraisal ($90,000 for intro commission)
Auction house ($1.125 million – 675,000 from buyer and 450,000 from seller)
Buyer a.k.a. He who got the Bargain (-$5.175 million and an appraiser who is sure he needs his collection revalued…)
The End

Product 10/46
On a crowded bus at midday, Raymond Queneau observes one man accusing another of jostling him deliberately. When a seat is vacated, the first man appropriates it. Later, in another part of town, Queneau sees the man being advised by a friend to sew another button on his overcoat. Exercises in Style retells this apparently unexceptional tale ninety- nine times, employing the sonnet and the alexandrine, Ze Frrench and Cockney, while an Abusive chapter heartily deplores the events.
When Exercises in Style first appeared in French in 1947, it led to Queneaus election to the highly prestigious Académie Goncourt. This virtuoso set of themes and variations is a linguistic rust-remover, a guide to literary forms, a demonstration of the use of imagery and expletive. But it is far too funny to be merely a pedantic thesis.
The late Raymond Queneau, novelist, poet, mathematician and editor, once told Barbara Wright that of all his books, this was the one he most wished to see translated. He rendered her his heartiest congratulations, adding: I have always thought that nothing is untranslatable. Here is new proof. And it is accomplished with all the intended humour. It has not only linguistic knowledge and ingenuity, it has that.

Picture gallery: Mayor of London and Grazia team up for Hatwalk

The surprise one-day Hatwalk event saw Trafalgar Square's Admiral Lord Nelson don a new hat for the first time in 200 years.
Lock & Co, the oldest hatters in London and famed for making Nelson's original bicorn hat, created an updated version complete with an Olympic torch.
Nelson is one of 20 statues including William Shakespeare, the Duke of Wellington, Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt that starred in the millinery extravaganza across the city.
Hatwalk brought together 21 emerging and established hat designers. The project celebrates London's standing as a global capital of millinery, but also emphasises the city's important and rich heritage by bringing these statues to life in new ways.
Milliner to the stars Philip Treacy crowned British General Sir Henry Havelock with a new headpiece, whilst hat-maker Stephen Jones restyled King George IV with a golden-domed design inspired by Brighton's Pavilion.
The event was commissioned by the Mayor of London, in partnership with BT, Grazia magazine, the British Fashion Council and the London 2012 Festival. It is part of 'Surprises', a programme that sees pop-up performances and experiences spring up at locations across London.
Boris Johnson said: "Our city is a melting pot of creativity right at the forefront of global fashion and design. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the heritage of British millinery and its contribution to our fair city than by dressing our most noble of statues, including our most heroic son, Nelson in creations dreamt up by our leading visionaries."
Paula Reed, style director at Grazia magazine, said: "This is easily the most exciting, challenging and unusual project I have ever undertaken at Grazia. We have asked almost impossible things of our milliners and at every stage have met with enthusiasm and brilliant ideas. No wonder British millinery is recognised the world over as the best."
Life-sized copies of the headwear on the statues will be on show in BT House at BT London Live in Hyde Park between 30 July and 12 August.

Hi, am doing remodeling and hired out the painting (too many vaulted ceilings for me plus shutters that needed stripping). The painter is using Dunn Edwards paint that I selected at a Dunn Edwards store. DE offers 7 levels of gloss (flat, velvet, eggshell, low sheen, semi-gloss, gloss and high gloss). Most walls were speced as Velvet. The text description is "resembles flat paints when viewed head on but show a slight gloss when viewed at an angle". My problem is that the velvet paint is almost as glossy as the semi-gloss on some of the old walls. Its almost 3 levels glossier than it should be based on the DE gloss chart I have. I stopped the painter right away and he is going to have DE check things out. The cans he showed me do say "Velvet" on them although I did not actually see which cans were used on the problem walls. Anyone else have this happen? And if so, what kind of test equipment was used to verify the gloss level of the paint? Obviously, I'm not going to accept just an oppinion from someone who has an financial incentive to say everything looks fine. What would you do in my situation?This message has been edited.

How long did you give to dry and how many coats were applyed? joecaption | ||||
Hi Joe, Its been 3-4 days now. I don't know how many coats. I'll ask. I took an almost empty can to the nearest DE store this afternoon. They didn't have any kind of test equipment but they did put some of the paint on a smooth strip of material apparently for this purpose. Where the paint was thin, it looked close to the gloss chart they use but where it was thicker it was more glossy. I don't know if that's because it wasn't dry yet or what. Is that why you asked about number of coats? Eventually I was passed to a floating rep who happened to be there and happens to work with my painter. That's when it got weird and somewhat contradictory. He said that our dark colors will be more glossy than the light colors they use in their gloss chart. He also said that the new low VOC formulations mean paints look glossier than they realy are for the first 3 or more weeks. I asked why I didn't read that in their brochures or on their samples and he didn't know. He went on to say that the only thing they sell less glossy than velvet is flat and proceeded to tell me that flat would be a bad option for a dark color because flat dark colors look chalky and anything rubbed against them will leave a lighter spot. It was kind of funny when he demonstrated that on a panel painted with a dark flat paint. He drug his thumb accross it and it left a lighter looking trail. But I did the same on the velvet pained panel right next to it and got the same result. Was hard not to laugh. Anyway, the rep and painter are coming to the house to look at it tomorrow. But since they aren't bringing any test equipment and the rep already strikes me as trying to avoid any repainting no matter what I doubt much will get resolved at that time.This message has been edited.

Hoosier-Daddy: Take a hair dryer and keep an area of that paint warm for 20 minutes or so and see if that lowers the gloss of the paint. If it does, then I can explain what happened.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Nestor, | ||||
Hi Nestor, Thanks for your response. I notice that you deleted some of it, deciding to wait to see what happens with the hair dryer first. The deleted info was very informative and useful in understanding what is happening. I have not done the hair dryer test but I have since found out that some sample paint we put on a wall over 3 weeks ago was, in fact their velvet finish. We were just trying out colors at the time and did not know what gloss level the sample paint was. We had asked for a specific gloss for some of the paint but were told sample paints were not mixed to customer specified gloss. Anyway, when we used the sample pant in a bath room, the gloss level was the same as the existing semi-gloss white currently on that wall. We assumed that the gloss was semi-gloss, but as I said, we were deciding on colors then, not gloss. That test paint has been there for 3 weeks and it still has the same gloss as the original white semi-gloss next to it. So it didn't lose any appreciable amount of gloss in that time. We didn't apply the test paint any thicker than needed to not see the white thru it. I'm thinking the 3 weeks normal drying time will be equivalent to a short time under a hair dryer. To answer a question from your original post, yes the colors in question are VERY dark. The DE names are Wild West and Amazing Amethyst. One is brown and the other purple (like a dark eggplant) and they are so dark it is hard to tell them apart without reasonably bright light. The DE rep, my painter and general contractor all inspected the velvet paint that had been used on two accent walls. The painter didn't offer any opinion, and I don't know if people all have the same degree of gloss perception so that was fine. The contractor agreed that the same spec paint tested on a semi-gloss wall weeks before was as close in gloss to the existing white semi-gloss paint on that wall. The rep didn't disagree but instead doubted I could tell/prove the paint was too glossy without scientific tests which they weren't prepared to do and would cost me a lot of money to have done myself. He also noted that the text that accompanied DE gloss charts mentioned that the gloss range for velvet was from 5-9. Their high-gloss finish was near 100. The implication being that even if their sample gloss chart was visually inaccurate, the 5-9 range listed could just mean their sample was a 5 but my paint was a 9 and technically within spec. I don't buy the latter because, as I said, their Velvet sample was as glossy as pre-existing semi-gloss and DE says their semi-gloss is in the 40-50 range and three full steps above Velvet in their ranges. Anyway, they all went off to conference and I was informed they would repaint the two dark accent walls in flat and replace all the yet to be used velvet paint with flat paint since that is the only paint they sell that is less glossy than velvet. In addition, the areas that were spec'ed to be dark semi-gloss paint will be done in Velvet since that has similar gloss to semi-gloss in a light color. The contractor later confided that DE picked up the tab for most of it. I could be wrong about their motivation, but suspect they realize their darker colors are actually glossier than the gloss chart (that uses a light color) would indicate, which if I understood your pre-edited post, is entirely possible. I'm going to go up the ladder in DE to recommend they at least put a disclaimer on their gloss chart to say that different colors may have different gloss levels than the samples on that chart. Personally, I think they should allow customers to buy samples of a specified gloss level or at the very least make it clear what gloss level the samples are. I wonder if they don't let customers specify a gloss level for sample paint because some people would buy a $5 sample when they needed a small amount for some touch-up paint. If so, let customers pay extra to get test paint with specific gloss because this was no fun.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Hoosier-Daddy, | ||||
So: If there isn't a manufacturer's defect in the paint, then it should become less glossy with time. If it doesn't, then either the paint has been ruined by adding too much colourant to it, or you just have to wait longer for the glycerine added when tinting the paint to it's desired colour to fully evaporate: Here's my original post: Take a hair dryer and warm an area on your wall that you can judge the gloss of by the way light from a lamp or window reflects off the paint there. See if heating the paint for a good 20 minutes to half an hour lowers the gloss level of the paint. If it does, and I expect it will, then the problem is that the glycerine added when tinting the paint still hasn't evaporated from it, and it's what's causing your paint to appear abnormally glossy. Given time, your paint will lose it's gloss as the glycerine in it evaporates. The rest of this post explains what I think is happening, but it all hinges on the colour of your paint. You see, hardly anyone makes coloured tint bases anymore, and so if you wanted them to make a purple paint in a velvet gloss for you, they'd start with a "deep" or "accent" velvet tint base (one with no white pigment in the can to begin with) and add LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of both red and blue paint tinting colourant to the can in the paint tinting machine. And, what you need to know is that paint tinting colourants consist of coloured solid particles (called "coloured pigments") suspended in glycerine. That's important because glycerine is very much slower to evaporate than water. (So much so that there's a common DIY misconception that paint tinting colourant by itself is like motor oil in that it will NEVER dry, which is false. It just takes a while longer for the glycerine to evaporate from it, leaving the coloured pigment behind as an extremely fine coloured powder.) Depending on how much colourant was added to your paint when tinting it to the desired colour, there still may be LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of glycerine inside your paint film, and that can be causing the additional gloss you're seeing. And, the above is especially true if it's cold outdoors and the walls that were painted are exterior walls cuz of their cooler surface temperature. Was it a heavily tinted paint? If so, take a hair dryer to an area where a ceiling light or the light from a window reflects off of, and see if warming the paint to drive off the glycerine lowers the gloss. (The glycerine added when tinting the paint plays no part in the way the paint forms a film, and so warming the paint to drive off the glycerine prematurely won't harm your paint in any way.) That paint sales rep might have been thinking of the glycerine added when tinting the paint when he told you it could affect the gloss for up to 3 weeks after painting. It shouldn't come as a surprise to you that oil based paints will "shrink" in film thickness as the paint thinner in the wet paint film evaporates from the paint. Latex paints do exactly the same thing as the water and coalescing solvent evaporates from them. I fully expect the glycerine added when tinting the paint also causes the paint film to remain partially swollen until ir evaporates from the paint film as well. If it does, as the glycerine evaporates and the plastic continues to shrink, the extender pigments in the paint film will stick progressively further and further out of the plastic, causing the paint surface to become rougher and rougher, and therefore flatter in gloss. You don't need to know the rest... I think the paint sales rep you're talking to is telling you a bunch of BS. Latex paints have two different kinds of pigments in them. There are coloured pigments that determine the colour the paint dries to. But there are also clear, transluscant or white solid particles that can be almost large enough to see with the naked eye, called EXTENDER PIGMENTS and these are what determine what gloss level the paint dries to. For him to say that darker colour paints dry glossier than lighter coloured paints means that he doesn't understand that colour and gloss are two separate characteristics determined by two different kinds of pigments in the paint. The coloured pigments don't affect the gloss level the paint dries to because the coloured pigments in the paint tinting machine are all far too small to cause the paint to dry to a rough surface needed for lower gloss paints. Otherwise, they couldn't make high gloss black paints in hardware stores or home centers, could they? Were it not for extender pigments, all paints would dry to a high gloss, but to different colours. Were it not for the coloured pigments, all paints would dry clear, transluscant or white, but to different gloss levels. If he's the sales rep for a paint company, then he should know about the coloured and extender pigments in paint. So, I kinda agree that he's just trying to shift the "blame" onto you because he figures he's got more to lose by pi$$ing off the painting contractor than he has by pi$$ing you off. Also, this business about the low VOC's causing the paint to be artificially glossy for the first three weeks after painting seems bogus to me as well. You see, wet latex paint is a "slurry" (meaning it consists of solid particles suspended in a liquid.) The solid particles are the coloured and extender pigments as well as tiny hard blobs of clear or transluscent plastic (called "binder resins"). MOST of the volume of the solid particles in wet latex paint are those extremely tiny binder resins. The liquid consists of a slow to evaporate water soluble solvent called a "coalescing solvent" or "coalescing agent" dissolved in water. (If the paint was tinted, the liquid will also contain some glycerine.) When you apply the paint to the wall, the first thing that happens is that the water evaporates, leaving all those tiny blobs of clear plastic surrounded by the coalescing solvent in an ever increasing concentration. That coalescing solvent penetrates into the plastic blobs, making them soft and sticky. The same forces of capillary pressure and surface tension that causes water droplets in clouds to coalesce to form rain drops then works on those soft sticky blobs of plastic causing them to pull on one another and "coalesce" into a solid film of sticky plastic with the coloured and extender pigments suspended inside that film very much like raisins inside raisin bread. Then, over the course of the next few days, the coalescing solvent evaporates from the paint film, filling the air in the room with that "freshly painted smell". And, as the coalescing solvent evaporates from the paint film, the plastic hardens back up again to the same hardness it was before, when it consisted of gazillions of microscopically tiny blobs suspended in the watery slurry. Now, the "VOC" in latex paint is the coalescing solvent. It's what causes the "freshly painted smell" in the room as it evaporates from a latex paint. If he's saying that the VOC's in their low-VOC paint are affecting the paint film's gloss for up to 3 weeks, then there still has to be coalescing solvent in the paint film for up to three weeks in order for it to have any affect on the gloss. In that case, the VOC's are evaporating extremely slowly from the paint, and you should have a paint film that's soft and sticky to the touch for a long time after painting and that gradually dries up over the course of three weeks. Not one that you can rub your thumb against only a few days after painting without getting wet sticky paint all over your thumb. Also, if the coalescing solvent evaporates from the paint film over the course of three weeks, you should be able to smell a very mild "freshly painted smell" in your house for a full three weeks after painting instead of the usual more intense freshly painted smell for only a few days after painting. If the paint film doesn't behave that way, then you know that what you were told isn't correct. Maybe print off this post and let both that paint sales rep and your painting contractor read it. PS: The reason that paint tinting colourants will use glycerine as the carrier fluid is because glycerine is highly soluble in both water and mineral spirits. So, the same paint tinting colourants can be used to tint both latex and oil based paints, and that means a hardware store can tint all the paint it sells on the same paint tinting machine. If artificially aging that paint a few years by heating it with a hair dryer doesn't correct the gloss level, then there's something wrong with the paint to begin with. The above is what I originally posted. I cut it back because the monkey-tard I mentioned previously was claiming I was typing long posts just to brag about how much I knew. Just between you and me, I don't brag cuz I don't NEED to brag. If the hair dryer doesn't work to provide the low level of gloss you were wanting, then there was something else wrong with the paint to begin with. Maybe they tinted the wrong tint base? Anyhow, now you have the original post, which you can do with as you please.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Nestor, | ||||
Reminds me of the joke... Man: "Doctor, it hurts everytime I do this." Doctor: "My advise is to stop doing that." If someone doesn't like to read long posts, my advise is that they stop reading them.
No, I think you are just bragging. Reminds me of my days at Harvard. I dropped out after just 2 days because the $%#&% professors kept showing off that they knew more than I did. So I found a school with really dumb professors and my self esteem was never better. Now excuse me while I try to find a decent support forum where people only post what I already know. But seriously, thanks a LOT.
Turns out they repainted the two dark accent walls in flat yesterday afternoon so I can't try the hair dryer. But since the same paint color had been used on a test spot 3 weeks ealier (without my knowlege that the paint was Velvet) and was still almost as glossy as old semi-gloss next to it maybe that says as much as the hair dryer test.
I managed to save a copy of your original post before someone talked you into dumbing it down. But I'm glad you reposted it anyway because I'll bet it will be informative to others that may search the subject in the future. Regarding the bases this company uses, the way it was explained to me is that they have 7 white bases, one for each gloss level they sell. So for example, all velvet paint starts with the same velvet base. Then they just add color to that base. Maybe higher gloss for darker colors is a side effect of using tht method. | ||||

Terry Marotta: Windy moonlit night
Now comes our best holiday, the best for being the plainest, though not as plain as the harvest gatherings those early settlers knew. The hardy souls who reached Jamestown were almost all dead within the first five years of their arrival.
The ones who reached Plymouth Harbor faced an equally hard fate. Arriving in December, they had to continue living aboard the ship, uncongenial as it was after the long passage. At a recent visit I made to Plimoth Plantation I was told as much by one of the historical re-enactors.
"It was cold and damp beyond your imagining," she said.
"Could you make fires on the deck at least?" I asked.
"Oh, mistress, no! No fires aboard a ship! "
More than half the passengers on the Mayflower perished within that first year, most in January and February.
You'd think we might take a lesson from these sad facts and stay home rather than travelling over this long weekend, but no: According to Airlines for America almost 24 million of us will have flown between the Friday before Thanksgiving and the Tuesday after it.
And that's before you count the people who will travel by other means.
Bless them and may they go safely, is all I can say.
Those who stay home will know the distinct pleasure of abiding in their own homes. Continued...
Bless them too and bless and protect especially those who have no homes to stay in this year.
And while I'm asking, I'll ask blessing too for an individual who spends his days and on the shores of New Hampshire's largest lake, posting on a blog called Winnipesaukee WeatherCam.
I don't know this person's name.
I don't know this person's gender.
I found this person only because of Facebook where the link to a recent post carried me to a short entry so poetical in nature it seemed worth quoting here.
"Windy moonlit night and desolate-seeming at the lake this time of year," it begins.
"But the air corridors over our heads are busy! We found a real-time flight radar web site to identify those flashing strobe lights among the stars.
"In the past hour we have seen several FedEx flights come from Europe to Memphis directly over Sandwich.
"On the same route we saw an Atlas Air 747 heading to London/Stansted from Huntsville Alabama.
"Pinnacle Airlines went to Portland from Detroit passing over Laconia. Continued...
"We watched as UAL 242 descended towards the ocean and make a wide turn there for final approach to Boston from San Francisco, following the same path AAL 202 from LAX had taken just minutes earlier.
"United went over Alton Bay en route to Istanbul.
"But the real prize of the night was watching Singapore Airlines Airbus A-380, the largest passenger aircraft in the world, pass slowly over Rattlesnake Island, making a flashing strobe reflection on the water. The passengers with a portside window seat would have had a nice moonlit view of our lake, with southeastern New Hampshire in the foreground, perhaps just as they began receiving the in-flight dinner…"
It could be the evocation of an all-seeing Eye looking down on all our movements.
It could be the image of this one small human going 'outside' to look up, and coming back to tell us what is there.
Anyway it comforted and charmed me, as I hope it might comfort and charm you too, as we all pause a while under our little dome of sky, with the growing season done and the winter coming on.

Sports Update
Sunnyvale raids Farmersville: Raiders' stout defense pushes the team to 5-0
By Zach Markovic, email@example.com
Published: Saturday, October 13, 2012 3:48 AM CDT
The Sunnyvale Raiders' football team gave something to all of the returning alums they had not seen during their years in the district on Homecoming night – a 5-0 start to the football season.
Despite a bumpy first half the Raiders' came out with something to prove against the Farmersville Farmers and put the game away with a 33-18 victory Friday night. With the win Sunnyvale extends its best record in school history to 5-0 with the win over Farmersville and their first district win of the season.
Coach John Settle said he did his best through the week not to build the game up for the athletes, but he knew the significance of the game.
"I am so proud of coaches and our kids," Settle said. "I did not tell my kids this coming in, but I knew this was the biggest win in their history, in Raiders' history – without a question."
Even if Settle did not let on to how big the game was, the Raiders' came out and played with some jitters in the first half as the offense had five penalties in the first half, with three penalties midway through the first quarter happening one right after the other. They also allowed Farmersville to score first early in the first quarter after a Farmers' receiver took a pass 70 yards for a touchdown. Farmersville would miss the point-after –attempt which left them up 6-0 early on.
Starting on their own 10 after the kickoff, the Raiders made their way back down the field. While the series started off methodically moving down the field it quickly broke down as they neared the redzone. In a series of miscues the team lost a total of 20 yards over three plays to penalties and had to settle for a 33 yard field goal from junior Casey Crenshaw.
Farmersville responded after taking the field on offense and ran in a 75 yard touchdown and were stopped on the two point conversion leaving the score at 12-3. Those two touchdowns would be the last time the Farmers would score on the Raiders' defense.
The Raiders would score another field goal as the result of an interception junior Demetrius Gray pulled out of the air deep in Farmers territory.
After the field goal Farmersville would get the ball back but stall at midfield and would turn the ball over on downs on their own 43. This would lead to Sunnyvale's first touchdown as Abdul Khalaf, sophomore running back, scampered in for a 4 yard touchdown and the Raiders took the lead with the point after attempt making the score 13-12.
And while the offense was beginning to click, it was obvious that the defense was not happy about giving up two early big play scores and really clamped down when two Raider offensive mistakes left the Farmers threatening to score in the redzone.
In two series a total of seven plays occurred with one ending in a missed field goal and the second series ending in three plays with a Raider fumble recovery by Mohammad Al -Rousan , junior defensive end.
"We have been practicing redzone stops all week," Al-Rousan said. "It was about playing our assignments. We are well coached and just doing what we are taught to do."
After the fumble recovery the Raiders ran out the clock to halftime and the team and coaches went into the locker room grateful for the lead but trying to figure out how to clear up the miscues.
"[Our defense] held them to two score," Settle said. "We kind of laid an egg there a couple times with some turnovers. We snapped the ball 47 times in that first half, so it was not about them, it was about us finishing and not turning the ball over."
If the first half was about the offense missing a step, the second half was about the offense clicking on all cylinders. Junior quarterback Ryan Cottingame said they wanted to come out and score early to prove that they were in control. He would be involved with the next three Raiders' touchdowns, running the first one in himself early in the third quarter and connecting with junior receiver Josh Quinn twice in the endzone to seal the deal.
With a score of 33-12 Farmersville made things interesting when they ran kickoff back 82 yards for a touchdown but again were stopped on the two point conversion leaving Sunnyvale up 33-18 with a little over two minutes to go.
However, the Raiders would recover the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock for the victory, a victory that is being touted as one of the biggest in the short history of the young school.
"It is awesome," Cottingame said. "We have a freaking awesome defense and my line is absolutely awesome, and deserves all the credit the team has. If it was not for them we would not have an offense. I am just proud of those guys our team, proud of our special team, proud of our coaches."

Troubleshooting: PGP Whole Disk Encryption Recovery
Article:TECH149345 | | | Created: 2009-03-19 | | | Updated: 2011-08-08 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH149345 |
This article details troubleshooting computers which are PGP Whole Disk Encrypted and the PGP BootGuard screen is not displayed or your operating system fails to start. This applies to PGP Whole Disk Encryption, PGP Desktop Professional, and PGP Desktop Storage.
When you encrypt an entire disk using the PGP Whole Disk Encryption feature, every sector is encrypted using a symmetric key. This includes all files including operating system files, application files, data files, swap files, free space, and temp files.
On subsequent reboots, the PGP BootGuard screen prompts you for the correct passphrase. Then the encrypted data is decrypted as you access it. Before any data is written to the disk, PGP WDE encrypts it. As long as you are authenticated to your PGP WDE-encrypted disk, the files are available. When you shut down your system, the disk is protected against use by others.
Symptom 1
The PGP BootGuard screen is not displayed.
This issue may occur when Windows boot files are corrupted or missing. While the chances are extremely low that a master boot record could become corrupt on a boot disk or partition protected by PGP Whole Disk Encryption, it is possible. If it happens, it could prevent your system from booting.
To troubleshoot PGP Whole Disk Encryption when the BootGuard is not displayed
- Use the PGP Recovery Disk (bootg.iso) to attempt to boot into Windows.
- Remove the hard disk and slave the disk to another computer with PGP installed to fix corrupted Windows files.
Symptom 2
Operating system does not load.
After entering your correct passphrase at the PGP BootGuard screen, your operating system fails to load. This can occur for a variety of reasons including missing Windows boot files, hardware problems, or a conflict with third-party defragmentation software. The following methods can be used to troubleshoot
- Use PGP Recovery Disk (bootg.iso) to boot the system and decrypt the disk. Then try booting to Windows.
Note: Depending on the size of your hard disk, decrypting your disk using the PGP Recovery Disk can consume a large amount of time.
- Use PGP Recovery Disk (bootg.iso) to boot the system to Windows and decrypt the disk using PGP Desktop.
- Remove the hard disk and slave the disk to another computer with PGP installed to decrypt the disk.
- Use Windows Recovery to repair the master boot record (fixmbr).
- After authenticating with PGP BootGuard, use WinPE to decrypt your disk using the PGP command-line tool.

text: Bike Advocates: SunRail Could Give Cycling a Lift In central Florida a network of wide highways link sprawling cities. But now two machines - the locomotive and the bicycle, which saw their heyday in Florida more than a century ago- are making a comeback, thanks to two different transportation movements. For a glimpse of how commuter rail could change the central Florida transport landscape, look no further than Winter Park- a city built in the late 1800s. Winter Park sustainability coordinator, Tim Maslow, is planning how to incorporate cycling into the city's transportation plan. He says the new SunRail and Amtrak station which will be built at the site of the old railway station in Central Park, could be a hub for bike sharing. "We see having a station here with maybe ten bikes at first to see how it goes," says Maslow. "You could go up to 20 bikes per station with some of the companies we've been looking at." One company talking with Winter Park is the Wisconsin based b-cycle, which is backed by the bike manufacturer Trek. B-cycle launched in Denver in 2010, and sales director Lee Jones says commuters riding the mile high-city's light rail system use bikes to go the last mile to their destination. He says it could work in central Florida, even in the heat of summer. "You know the nice thing on a bike, once you start moving there's a fair amount of momentum, and there's always a breeze coming at you, although obviously in Orlando it's going to be a warmer breeze than in other parts of the country," says Jones. In fact, bike sharing already has a foothold in South Florida, where Broward County has started a system. Jones says bike share stations around SunRail may have to be positioned to avoid the busiest roads. "From my time there in the Orlando area, I did find some of the very wide streets, basically three lanes across, it was almost like being on the interstate. Whereas in downtown Orlando there were areas where the traffic was fairly calm." Some cities along the rail line are ideally situated for this back to the future approach to getting around. Tim Maslow, Winter Park's Sustainability coordinator, points out his city was designed so passengers could easily walk to and from the train station. "That was before the automobile was so prevalent in everyone's lives, so when they came down to the train station theyactually had to go to different locations that were no longer than a 15-20 minute walk, because in Florida no one would walk that far." A return to cycling as a primary means of transportation may seem a bit old fashioned. But when the bicycle first appeared in America, it was high tech. In the 1969 movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Paul Newman's character shows off his bicycle with the words "meet the future" Cassidy and Sundance were real life train robbers in America's old West in the late 1800s. In Florida at that time rail barons were building a network of train lines the state. A cycling craze had also gripped the nation. "It was huge in this country," says Tim Bustos, the executive director of the Florida Bicycle Association. He says even though cars dominate the roads today, it wasn't always the case. "Next to the railroad, bicycling was like the most powerful transportation lobby out there," says Bustos. "They were expensive, so it was mostly well to do and influential people that could afford them." And in the late 1800s, well-to-do people were taking the train to cities like Winter Park to spend their winter vacations. Winter Park's not the only place where rail and cycling could make a comeback. The Florida Bicycle association's headquartered in Deland, and Tim Bustos dreams of making the city a cycling hub. He says SunRail's completion in 2016 could help, by giving riders better access to a network of cycling trails. Bike share could also be part of the mix. "People that would have rented a car five years ago, are now using bike shares. It's cheaper, it's easier, it's more enjoyable." Some DeLand cyclists have reservations- they say a safe route has to be found from the train station to the city's downtown, five miles away. But Central Florida bike advocates agree that SunRail's arrival brings with it a chance to begin a new chapter in the shared history of cycling and rail. |

But that is the section of the 1901 Constitution that will be revised once a proposal pushed through the state Legislature by Rep. Paul DeMarco, R-Homewood, goes to the people for a vote.
This page is not ready to endorse the alterations just yet. Like all Alabamians, we need to consider what is being changed and the consequences (intended and otherwise) of the revision.
However, why this section and not, say, the one concerning home rule, is getting the attention — and why it took six years for DeMarco's effort to bring forth fruit — is worth noting.
Constitutional reform in Alabama was bogged down because two competing groups could not compromise on how to get it done. One group, not trusting a Legislature dominated by special-interest groups, wanted a constitutional convention.
The other group, fearing special interests would gain control of a convention, wanted to keep reform in the state Legislature.
The log-jam was broken, or at least moved, when Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, created the Constitutional Revision Commission, made former Gov. Albert Brewer the chairman and told them to get the process moving.
It is hard to say how making constitutional reform a priority helped DeMarco's efforts, but it surely did not hurt his cause. The Legislature finally gave its approval.
Equally important in getting this done is that the sections that will be reformed — corporations and banking — are sections important to corporations and banking.
Of the many out-of-date portions of the Constitution, the provisions relating to business are the ones business interests want addressed. And in Alabama, what business wants, business usually gets.
This is nothing new. As historians have pointed out, when corporations realized that segregation was bad for business, corporations became participants in (or at least not opponents of) the civil rights movement. If this first step in constitutional reform is an indication that the business community is beginning to get behind the effort — even in a small and timid way — it is a step in the right direction.

Pregnant Mom Arrested at Safeway For Eating Sandwich
Last week, a pregnant mom, her husband, and almost 3 year old daughter were shopping for groceries at Safeway. They ordered two sandwiches, and the pregnant woman ate one as they shopped (we've all been there, shopping while hungry can be dangerous!). They saved the wrapper, fully intending to pay at the check out. When they didn't (the mom simply forgot), they were arrested for shoplifting and their daughter? She was taken into custody by Child Welfare Services.
I found the story in my e-mail, and here's the LINK to news piece. The mom says that when they were taken upstairs, they offered to pay but Safeway wouldn't let them. Safeway has announced they have apologized and will not pursue charges.
How embarrassing, and how scary it must have been to be the young girl taken away!
I remember going to the store with my mom and my mom opening chips or crackers so we could snack (and be quiet!) while she shopped. She told the cashier, who usually smiled and nodded and scanned the bar code and gave back the food. Today, when I go shopping, I am always so tempted to get a bottle of water, or even some chips to snack on while shopping. And I bet if I did it ten times, I'm sure one of those times I would forget to pay because of "mommy brain", we're humans and we forget.
Have you snacked while shopping? Have you ever forgotten to pay?

Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) tickets sold out in minutes, but if you're going to be in San Francisco the second week of June, there's an alternative event happening that you may be interested in. AltWWDC is scheduled to take place at the same time as WWDC, and only a block away from the Moscone Center, where WWDC is held. What's more, it's free.
If you're a student 13 years or older and you can't pony up the $1,599 for the standard registration fee for WWDC, fret not - Apple is once again offering student scholarships. This year they've set aside up to 150 tickets for aspiring student developers who want to come. (Getting to San Francisco and finding a place to stay is still up to you, though.)
On the fourth day of WWDC, Rene, Seth, and I went full out at Moscone Center, talking with developers (you'll see the video soon), meeting up with Mark Gurman and some other bloggers, and joining AgileBits, Ecamm, Jake Behrens, and Merlin Mann for dinner.
I don't have very many stories in between photos this time around, so I'm just going to embed them all here for you to scroll through and enjoy!
Day three of WWDC 2012 was another busy day of meeting and interviewing developers and PR representatives, parties, and even a recording of an Iterate episode featuring some special guests.
Rene and I began our day with a delicious breakfast at Mel's Diner with App Savvy's Ken Yarmosh. We talked about Agenda, Buzz, other App Savvy projects and, of course, iOS 6.
Our second day at WWDC 2012 has passed and boy was it a busy day! We briefly attended Indie Dev Lab, met with and interviewed several developers, attended multiple parties and more!
At WWDC, Apple proclaimed iOS 6 would introduce over 200 new features when released this fall, and that what we saw yesterday was just a small sampling. We've got plenty of posts going over the big features, but there are also a handful of slides that were positively riddled with features that they just didn't have time to go over.
Additionally, there were lots of smaller features that either just got a passing mention, were folded into some of the talk about OS X, or weren't referenced at all. That said, let's tear apart the keynote address (which was recently made available in HD on iTunes, by the way) and pick out every teeny tiny iOS 6 feature we can.
We're going to keep a running tally here, and update it as more information becomes available, so check back often!
Gaming got a bit of a spotlight at yesterday's WWDC keynote, and though Apple spent just as much of the show talking about Mac as it did iOS, there are a lot of big implications for mobile.
Last month, I wrote about the challenges of truly integrating your social networks, especially Facebook, into your iPhone or iPad. During the keynote at yesterday's kick off to WWDC, Facebook was once again brought to center stage.

what the?.......
Re: Barbacued IguanaOkay, so the first thing to do was figure out the front suspension. The springer parts are from a Schwinn style 20" fork and I used another fork from a 70's Huffy girls bike because it had the longer head tube i needed. It seems to work very well, kind of like a reverse beehive. You can expect the rear to have a similar set up as well.
what the?.......
Re: Barbacued Iguanaall ive got to say is i would buy a fork like that !!! are the truss rods beefy enough with that set up for big bumps ??
killer start man, i like it
Re: Barbacued Iguana
i agree, i have some truss rods like that and they bend really easily CAUTION: WILL SOMETIMES POST RANDOM THOUGHTS... with bad spelling
Owner of a '62 Schwinn Varsity... Rat Rod Road Bike?
Re: Barbacued Iguana
when the spring action works it pulls on the truss rods, it doesn't push them up like a beehive does. i can't see how they might bend as long as it's pulling on them. i bounced the front end with all my weight and it seems to work great. i'm sorry the pictures are fuzzy, it makes it a little hard to see exactly how it works. what the?.......
Re: BARBACUED IGUANAi can see what your saying, "pull" wont bend the rods but "push" might, and it doesnt look like there would be any "push" involved in that setup. its like a columbia fork in a way. love how how you came up with using what you had around, i dont think my brain cells could have pulled it off successfully
Re: BARBACUED IGUANAhere's a link to a short video of the springer in action. it shows more detail on how well it works. and yes, i know i need to cut my grass
http://s679.photobucket.com/albums/vv152/fenderhole/?action=view¤t=springer1.flv what the?.......
Re: BARBACUED IGUANAit's all about the bikes, man. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50053
I was going to update my sig line, but I'm not seein' anything worth plagiarizing right now.
Re: BARBACUED IGUANA
deorman wins! first person to match the name of the bike with the song it came from what the?.......
Re: BARBACUED IGUANAi worked on the rear springer set up today and thought i'd post some pics to show how it's gonna work. i made both pivot plates out of a heavy duty hinge pictured below. i still need to finish them but so far it's working out great.
and here what it looks like at the end of day 3... what the?.......
Re: BARBACUED IGUANAGreat start....I wouldn't mount that seat too low......get yourself a nice boy howdy on the rear
What would Jesus ride???
Re: BARBACUED IGUANA... best fork setup I've seen in ages. that would work well with a lot of rake/offset too, definitely one I'll keep in mind for the future.
Re: BARBACUED IGUANA
glad you like it. when the idea first popped in my head i couldn't believe i hadn't thought of it before. it seems like a really good way to turn most plain cruiser forks into springers. i'm sure someone somewhere thought of it first but i've not seen anybody do it like this before. what the?.......

I loved FF9 a lot. Sadly I never finished it though. I was at that part where you would swing Steiner in the cage back and forth till it crashed into the wall. After that, if I went into a battle, or traveled to the next screen the music would play but the screen would stay black ]: Anyways I wanted to make something small for my favorite character, Vivi.
