Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP)
Wounded Warrior Project® began when several veterans and friends, moved by stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, took action to help others in need. What started as a desire to provide comfort items to wounded service members at Walter Reed Army Medical Center has grown into a holistic rehabilitative effort to assist warriors with visible and invisible wounds as they recover and transition back to civilian life. Tens of thousands of Wounded Warriors, family members, and caregivers receive support each year through WWP programs.
The mission of WWP is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. WWP's purpose is to raise awareness and to enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured servicemen and women aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs. WWP is a national, nonpartisan organization headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.
The signature fundraising event of WWP is the WWP 8K Run. Hundreds of runners and walkers completed the 2012 WWP 8K Runs in Jacksonville, Fla., San Antonio, Tex., and Franklin, Tenn. and raised nearly $300,000 to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project® mission to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. Register today at wwp8kruns.org and help foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history!
This year's run in Franklin, Tenn. takes place on November 16, 2013. All runners registered for the WWP 8K Run must raise a minimum of $99, but are encouraged to get creative and fundraise beyond the individual minimum. Participants are also encouraged to join or create a team to experience firsthand the rewards of teamwork and to help support each other in fundraising efforts. Every dollar raised helps to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of Wounded Warriors in our nation's history. Participants who fundraise $500 or more at least one week before their registered event will receive a special thank you gift from WWP.
In addition to the run, race day offers a variety of activities including post-race refreshments, food, and entertainment for all registered participants, and a booth with WWP gear available for purchase. First place male and female times overall will receive a special award, while first place male and female finishers in each age division will receive a custom award. WWP 8K Runs are presented nationwide by USAA and made possible through the support of generous sponsors.
Fundraising proceeds of each WWP 8K Run directly benefit WWP's programs, structured to nurture the mind and body, and encourage economic empowerment and engagement of injured service members. Warrior families and caregivers are provided comfort, care, and education to help support the recovery of their Wounded Warriors and all programs are provided free of charge for warriors and their families.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The popular belief was that the 2013 NBA Draft
was a weak one, and that opinion may have been strengthened by the rookie
performances in the Orlando and Las Vegas Summer Leagues.
For the most part, the lottery picks were not that impressive. Here's a recap
of how they fared and what we might see from them down the road. Keep in mind,
three lottery selections - Anthony Bennett, Alex Len, and Nerlens Noel -
didn't play due to injury.
VICTOR OLADIPO - Orlando Magic
It's no secret that the big weaknesses in Oladipo's game coming out of
college were his ball handling skills and his inability to create his own
shot, yet the Magic decided to play him at the point a great deal of the time
in Orlando. So it's no surprise that the second overall pick averaged a
whopping 4.8 turnovers to go along with his 5 assists per game.
Oladipo didn't show a whole lot of breakdown ability, or as I like to say,
much shake and bake to his game, but at least he was aggressive trying to get
to the rim and spent a lot of time at the foul line, averaging 10 free throw
attempts in four games. He was 33-of-40 from the line (82.5 percent), and that
was a big reason why he was the leading rookie scorer at 19 ppg.
However, his accuracy from the field was a bit of a mixed bag. Oladipo knocked
down 7-of-13 shots (53.8 percent) from three-point range, but shot just 31.4
percent (11-of-35) on his two point attempts. His inability to create good
looks off the dribble was a big reason why he struggled on his two point
shots. On the defensive end, Oladipo was not as effective as I expected, given
his reputation of being such a great defender on the college level.
My gut reaction off his summer league play is that this was the wrong pick for
the Magic.
OTTO PORTER - Washington Wizards
The third overall pick from Georgetown saw his summer league play cut short
when he went down with a hamstring injury in his third game, but that may
actually have been a blessing in disguise considering how bad Porter looked in
the first two.
He shot 3-for-13 from the field in the opening game and followed that up with
a 4-for-13 performance in the second one. Add it all up and you've got a 30
percent field goal percentage.
Porter's inability to create his own shot off the dribble was clearly a big
problem and even drew the attention of an opposing player.
"My first two matchups, Otto Porter and [Ben] McLemore, their handle wasn't as
tight as a lead guy," said Golden State Warriors guard Kent Bazemore. "So I
had ample opportunity just to reach. But coach always says, when you're out
there, act like you're in an NBA game."
Porter also had problems on the defensive end and seems to lack the lateral
quickness to keep his man in front of him.
Even a Wizards' fan website was disappointed with what it saw from the teams'
top pick. Here's how bulletsforever.com summed up his Porter's performance:
"No question about it: Porter's play in Las Vegas was disappointing until his
hamstring injury. He struggled with his shot, seemed overwhelmed at times with
the pace of the game and sometimes had trouble staying with players off the
dribble. His length allowed him to be an asset as a help defender and he did
do a decent job of getting out and running, but it's hard to feel that
confident about some of the weaknesses he showed. We expected many of them --
thin frame, so-so ball-handling, lack of strength -- but seeing them on
display was jarring".
CODY ZELLER - Charlotte Bobcats
I thought the fourth overall pick from Indiana was clearly the best rookie in
Las Vegas. Zeller showed the ability to knock down perimeter shots, to put the
ball on the floor and drive it to the basket, and score in the paint.
One move in particular stood out for me, as Zeller put the ball on the floor
from the top of the key, got into the lane and did a reverse pivot that got
him to the rim for a layup.
Following a nondescript first game in which he scored eight points on 4-of-9
from the field and pulled down five rebounds, Zeller put together three
straight very strong performances. In his second game, he had 21 points and 13
rebounds, and was 6-of-12 from the floor and 9-for-9 from the line. He
followed that up with an 18 point, 10 rebound game, and closed out his summer
league play with an 18 point, nine rebound effort.
Overall, he averaged 16.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in 32 minutes, and shot 52
percent from the field.
Off what I saw from his summer league play, and with the expectation that he
should get plenty of playing time, I think Zeller will be a very strong
candidate for the rookie of the year award.
BEN MCLEMORE - Sacramento Kings
It was an all-or-nothing week in Las Vegas for the seventh overall pick from
Kansas. He had two very good games and three really bad ones in which I guess
you could say he turned "Sin City" into "Brick City".
McLemore struggled in the same area that was a problem in college, as he had
difficulty creating his own shot off the dribble. A vast majority of his shots
were spot-up jumpers and he fell in love with the three-point line way too
much. McLemore averaged nine three-point attempts per game, with 36 off his 78
shots from the field coming from beyond the arc.
He shot 33 percent from the floor and just 19 percent from three-point range
(7- for-36). Among the low lights were his opening game where he shot 4-of-23,
including 1-for-11 from three, and an 0-for-8, one point performance in his
fourth game.
As bad as some of those numbers are, the stat that stands out even more to me
is that McLemore had ZERO assists.
I think McLemore's rookie season will be all about confidence. If he can
develop it early, he'll have a decent year. But if he struggles early on, it
could be a disaster.
KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE - Detroit Pistons
Nerves got the best of the eighth overall pick from Georgia in his first two
games in Orlando, but once he settled down, the game came a lot easier to him.
The 6-6 shooting guard opened the summer league by going 4-of-20 from the
floor over his first two games, but closed it out by hitting 16-of-34 shots
(47 percent) over the final three.
Like McLemore, he'll need to improve his ball handling to become a really
effective offensive player.
But there's more to Caldwell-Pope's game than just putting the ball in the
basket. With his size and athleticism, he looks like he has the tools to be a
solid contributor at the defensive end. And don't be surprised if he's a help
on the boards too, as he averaged 7.1 rebounds per game in his lone college
season, and showed some good board work in Orlando.
TREY BURKE - Utah Jazz
What struck me immediately about the ninth overall pick from Michigan was that
physically, he looked like a boy among men in Orlando. I think Burke's lack of
size and strength will be a problem on the next level, especially on the
defensive end.
As far as his play on the court, it was clearly the worst of all the lottery
picks. To say he struggled with his shot is a huge understatement. He shot 24
percent from the field (13-for-54) and was 1-of-19 (5 percent) from three-
point range.
He played tentatively and definitely lacked the confidence he demonstrated in
helping lead Michigan to the national championship game.
If anything, his horrible performance was a bit of a wakeup call and he knows
he won't be able to sit on the laurels of his college success.
"I felt like summer league was a great experience," said Burke. "I needed it.
It showed me that I have some work to do. My shot was flat due to my legs. I
thought I did a good job with the team and picked up on some things, like on
offense and what we're doing defensively."
Unlike Damian Lillard with Portland last season, Burke will not have the
benefit of having some veteran players around him to make the transition to
the NBA easier, and I have a feeling his struggles from the summer league will
carry over into the regular season, and in the end, the Jazz will wish they
went in different direction in the draft.
CJ MCCOLLUM - Portland Trail Blazers
The 10th overall pick from Lehigh reminds me of a less athletic version of his
soon-to-be teammate and current rookie of the year Damian Lillard.
McCollum displayed his ability to break down defenders and create his own
shot, but his shot selection was questionable and his stroke just wasn't
there. He average 21 ppg in five games, but a lot of that had to do with the
high volume of shots. He averaged just over 20 field goal attempts per game,
including one game with 26 attempts and another with 25. Overall, he was 37-
of-101 from the floor (36.6 percent) and 9-for-29 (31 percent) from three-
point range.
When Portland drafted McCollum, there was some thought that he would see some
time backing up Lillard at the point and playing beside him at the two. But
with signing of free agent point guard Mo Williams, it looks like he'll
exclusively be a shooting guard, which should actually take some of the
pressure off him in his rookie season.
Playing with the likes of Lillard, Williams, LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas
Batum should help his transition to the next level a lot easier and he should
be a boost for a Portland bench that was arguably the worst in the league last
MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS - Philadelphia 76ers
The 11th overall pick from Syracuse had a very ugly stat line and there wasn't
much to get excited about with his play on the floor in Orlando.
In five games, Carter Williams was 23-of-85 from the floor (27 percent), 3-
for-19 from three-point range (16 percent), while averaging 6.8 assists and a
whopping 4.8 turnovers per game.
He didn't exhibit the explosiveness that most of the top point guards in the
league have, nor was he really good in breaking defenders down and getting in
the paint. It also looks like his lack of quickness could be a problem on the
defensive end.
The only bright spot I saw that with his size and length he could be difficult
to handle in the low post if he adds some bulk to his 6-6, 185 pound frame.
I have a strong feeling that Carter-Williams will have a lot of struggles come
the regular season and in the end the Sixers will regret this pick.
STEVEN ADAMS - Oklahoma City Thunder
It was clear from his play in Orlando, that physically and athletically, Adams
will be able to compete on the NBA level, but he is raw and knows he's got a
lot to learn.
"I'm a work in progress," said Adams following his summer league debut where
had two points and six rebounds in 21 minutes. "I'm just working hard and
taking it day by day."
At this point, the Thunder are just looking for Adams, the 12th overall pick
from Pittsburgh, to rebound, defend, and run the lanes, and that shouldn't be
a problem with his size and athleticism. I like the way he moved his feet on
defense and his ability to help out going from the strong to weak side.
His offensive game is in the infancy state, but I see the potential for him to
eventually do some damage in the low post if he puts the work in.
KELLY OLYNYK - Boston Celtics
Olynyk averaged 18 ppg in just over 24 minutes per game and shot 57.4 percent
from the field (37-of-64). But what was even more impressive than just the
bare numbers, was the vast offensive skill set he displayed. He can basically
do it all. Olynyk shows excellent footwork in the low post and can score with
either hand. He can put the ball on the floor like a guard and take it to the
basket, and can knock down medium to long range shots.
"I really like his game," said Stevens. "He's really bright, you can tell he
makes others around him better. I thought he did some good things defensively
as well. He's going to be a good player."
Olynyk should see plenty of playing time right from the start, and with his
skill level and feel for the game, he should be a serious challenger for
rookie of the year honors, and in the process, show a number of teams they
made the wrong decision in passing him up in the draft.
SHABAZZ MUHAMMAD - Minnesota Timberwolves
Add the 14th overall pick from UCLA to the list of lottery picks who really
struggled with their shot in summer league play.
Muhammad was 19-of-52 from the field (36.5 percent) in Las Vegas and was even
worse from the foul line, where he shot 35.3 percent, hitting 6-for-17.
The Wolves are looking for Muhammad to be a complete player, but he didn't
contribute much in other areas in his six summer league games. In nearly 21
minutes a game, he averaged 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 2.2 turnovers.
His assist rate was certainly no shock, since that was what he exactly
averaged in his one year at UCLA. Even if Muhammad eventually becomes a good
offensive player, he is not someone who is going to make teammates better.
And now there are questions about his maturity and his general decision
making, as he was sent home from the NBA's rookie transition program for
breaking a rule and bringing a female guest to his room.
Following the incident, Flip Saunders, the new president of basketball
operations for the Timberwolves, indicated that if Muhammad doesn't get his
act together he could find himself in the D-League.
It appears at this point, even if Muhammad finds himself on the Wolves'
roster, most of his time in Minnesota this season will be as a spectator on
the bench.

Did you check to see if you still have all your fingers?
I think O'Reilly lost a few digits when he made the same mistake in the green room in front of the cheese tray.
Mikey likes his cheese dude.
Hmmm, that's not the story Boortz was putting out yesterday. He said they confiscated his apple and the bagels at the Fleet Center were $30/dozen.
Depends who you know, I guess. I run with the big boys. In some cases, literally.
Damnit Tman, you beat me to it. Took the words right out of my mouth. Well, not literally. Not like Michael Moore going after the last bagel in the room. More figuratively like. And minus the bit about O'Reilly. I wasn't being that creative. That's all.

(WUSA) -- You have heard it called a living breathing document, and now you can see and hear the U.S. Constitution, too, thanks to teenage filmmakers from across the country.
Becca Eerder and Kiernan Colby chose the First Amendment for their documentary and they found a real life example of it.
"We both hear about Occupy DC going on and we thought this was current, this is fresh, this is young," shared Becca.
They used a modern lens to explore a 225-year-old document. the two seniors from Montgomery Blair High School were one of 1200 teams in C-SPAN's student cam contest titled "The Constitution And You." They wrote, shot and edited the piece. Kiernan even compose the music.
C-SPAN Founder and CEO Brian Lamb explained, "People that are as young as 11, 12, 13 and 14 are actually making 5 minute documentaries and it really turns your head when you see them."
Like the one on Article 5, the provision that allows amendments to The Constitution. Andy Locasscio and Drew Precious from Lynchburg, Va. created that one.
Fifty thousand dollars in prize money was awarded to the top 75 entries. First place and $5,000 went to Matthew Shimura from Honolulu. Kiernan and Becca got an honorable mention and a $250 check.

had at least a piece of the lead during the round.
K.J. Choi fired the low round of the last two days as he shot 6-under 66 to
grab a piece of second place at minus-8. He was joined in second by Graham
DeLaet and Jason Day, who both shot 68 in the final round, as well as Pat
Perez (70) and 2010 runner-up Marc Leishman (71).

Looks good to me. No need to get all fancy...sometimes an easy to read map is best.
This is my first post here, and the first maps I'm sharing. I'm not a particularly artistic person, but I think I'm starting to get somewhere. These are for a fantasy table top game called No Quarters. Though it's not widely known, I like it because it allows me to customize my army from the ground up, letting me calculate custom stats for units and weapons.
The first few versions were brown-scale, done from a tutorial I found linked here, I think. The brown scale ones were all done using cloud layers and posterization.
My concept started off with something like an island chain, with the equator up at the top of the map.
Then I changed it, with the land being something like Australia, a large but isolated continent.
Didn't care much for that idea, so I shifted to the much more familiar "justified" map.
After eventually rejecting that, I decided to do it in color this time. Unfortunately this time around I wasn't able to get the cloud layers to work like they had before (upgraded from CS3 to CS4). The resulting maps sucked, and I decided to go with a hand-drawn version done in Photoshop itself (don't have access to a good enough scanner to do it by pencil). I decided to do a "normal" version, complete with a half-assed attempt at height-mapping, and a "political" version to show the people playing just how far reaching a particular faction was. I lost the mountain brushes I had before, so I found one here. If these are your mountains I'm using, they're fantastic.
Unfortunately, I thought it was a bit small after a while, so I enlarged it (and will probably enlarge it again) to open space for more players in the future (particularly up and left). This lead to the current versions:
So I thought I'd share these and see what the "pros" think. I've seen a good few awesome maps here that use tools I've never used in PS before. Currently, I just use simple brushes and layers. No cities and the like are marked as they don't currently "matter". That'll come later. How do you think these could be improved? I'm not entirely sure I want to go for a really realistic map, more similar to a colorful but simple version for the moment, but you never know; I can be pretty fickle about these things as you can see. The real size of the "current" version is 2304x1440; up from 1920x1200 which is the first color version.
If you want more information about the game world I've made, I have a wiki for it here.
Looks good to me. No need to get all fancy...sometimes an easy to read map is best.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

I have always had a thing for girls who play soccer. I promised myself, somewhere around 14 or so, if I ever got the chance to get some head through a soccer goal, I would. Well, Flaca and I had a little game of 1 on 1 that I turned into a game of 1 on 1. I whipped out the happy fun balls and the one eyed spit snake and stuck them through the net so she could get to work. I got all up in Flacas guts and scored over and over in her pussy and mouth. It was better than the World Cup... well her tits were, anyway. Enjoy!

Hand-Foot Syndrome or Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia [1]
Hand-foot syndrome, also called palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, is a side effect of some types of chemotherapy. Hand-foot syndrome causes redness, swelling, and pain on the palms of the hands and/or the soles of the feet. Sometimes blisters appear. Although less common, hand-foot syndrome sometimes occurs on other areas of the skin, such as the knees and the elbows.
Relieving side effects, also called symptom management, palliative care [3], or supportive care, is an important part of cancer care and treatment. Talk with your health care team about any symptoms you experience, including new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
In mild to moderate hand-foot syndrome, the following symptoms may occur on the palms of the hands and/or the soles of the feet:
- Redness (similar to a sunburn)
- Swelling
- A sensation of tingling or burning
- Tenderness (sensitive to touch)
- Tightness of the skin
- Thick calluses and blisters on the palms and soles
Symptoms of severe hand-foot syndrome include:
- Cracked, flaking, or peeling skin
- Blisters, ulcers, or sores on the skin
- Severe pain
- Difficulty walking or using the hands
Hand-foot syndrome occurs when drugs used to treat the cancer affect the growth of skin cells or capillaries (small blood vessels) in the hands and feet. Once the drug is out of the blood vessels, it damages the surrounding tissues. This can cause symptoms of hand-foot syndrome that range from redness and swelling to difficulty when walking.
Some therapies are more likely to cause hand-foot syndrome than others. The drugs that may cause hand-foot syndrome include:
- Axitinib (Inlyta)
- Cabozantinib (Cometriq)
- Capecitabine (Xeloda)
- Cytarabine (Cytosar-U)
- Docetaxel (Docefrez, Taxotere)
- Floxuridine (FUDF)
- Fluorouracil (5-FU, Adrucil)
- Idarubicin (Idamycin)
- Liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil)
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
- Sunitinib (Sutent)
- Sorafenib (Nexavar)
- Pazopanib (Votrient)
- Paclitaxel (Taxol)
- Vemurafenib (Zelboraf)
- Regorafenib (Stivarga)
Not everyone who is treated with these medications develops hand-food syndrome. The severity of hand-foot syndrome can vary from person to person, even among people taking the same medication for the same form of cancer.
Management and prevention
Hand-foot syndrome is usually worse during the first six weeks of treatment with targeted therapies [4], such as axitinib, cabozantinib, regorafenib, sorafenib, sunitinib, and pazopanib. With chemotherapies, it usually appears after two to three months. If you have symptoms of hand-foot syndrome, talk with your doctor or another member of your health care team. There are ways to manage symptoms of hand-foot syndrome and prevent it from worsening. The following tips may help:
- Limit exposure of hands and feet to hot water when washing dishes or bathing.
- Take cool showers or baths. Carefully pat your skin dry after washing or bathing.
- Cool your hands and feet with ice packs or cool running water or compresses (such as a wet towel) for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. (Avoid applying ice directly to the skin.)
- Avoid exposure to sources of heat, including saunas, sitting in the sun, or sitting in front of a sunny window.
- Avoid activities that cause unnecessary force or friction (rubbing) on the hands or feet during the first six weeks of treatment, such as jogging, aerobics, and racquet sports.
- Avoid contact with harsh chemicals used in laundry detergents or household cleaning products.
- Avoid the use of rubber/vinyl gloves without a liner to clean with hot water, as rubber traps heat and sweat against your skin. A good practice is to use white cotton gloves underneath rubber/vinyl gloves.
- Avoid using tools or household items that require you to press your hand against a hard surface, such as garden tools, knives, and screwdrivers.
- Gently apply skin care creams to keep your hands moist. Avoid rubbing or massaging lotion into your hands and feet; this can cause creates friction.
- Wear loose fitting, well-ventilated (air moves through easily) shoes and clothes.
- Try not to walk barefoot and use soft slippers and thick socks to reduce friction in your feet.
- Consider visiting a podiatrist (a doctor who specializes in conditions of the feet) to remove any thick calluses and thick nails. He or she can also recommend products that reduce friction and pressure on the feet.
When taking medications known to cause hand-foot syndrome, topical anti-inflammatory medications may help. These include corticosteroid creams such as clobetasol (multiple brand names) or halobetasol (Ultravate). In addition, your doctor may reduce your chemotherapy dose or alter your chemotherapy schedule. If necessary, your doctor may temporarily stop your chemotherapy until symptoms of hand-foot syndrome improve.
The following medications may also be used to treat hand-foot syndrome:
- Topical anesthetics, such as lidocaine (Lidothesin, Lidoderm, Xylocaine, Xylocitin), used as a cream or a patch over painful areas in the palms and soles.
- Topical moisturizing exfoliant creams are available, either over the counter or through your doctor, such as those containing urea, salicylic acid, or ammonium lactate
- Pain relievers, such as ibuprofen (multiple brand names), naproxen (multiple brand names), and celecoxib (Celebrex)
- Ice packs under the hands and feet during the infusion of certain chemotherapies (paclitaxel, docetaxel, doxorubicin) to prevent hand-foot syndrome.

POWER STEERING FOR SOLID-AXLE CHEVYSWritten on September 19, 2002 Classic Performance Products Takes the Pain Out of Parking
My hat's off to those of you who've opted to retain the stock solid-axle configuration in your early Chevys. You're better men than I am--or, at the very least, a lot more motivated. Personally, building a pair of arms that look like Popeye's by way of steering wheel exertion isn't my idea of the perfect exercise program (I can think of plenty of better ways to burn calories, thank you). But I have a sneaking suspicion that most of you who've decided to stay the course and keep that old suspension and steering rather than upgrading to IFS of some sort have done so because of the expense and/or skills needed to perform the upgrade. If this is the case and you really don't enjoy those parking lot aerobics like you used to, take heart--Classic Performance Products (CPP) offers an affordable alternative!
CPP's Power Steering Conversion Kits and associated components can transform your solid axle '47-59 Chevy into a mild-mannered, easy steering pleasure to drive for a lot less cash than you'd think. The basic kit is designed to allow you to use a late-model ('69-87) Chevy 2WD pickup power steering box in place of the OE manual box and is perfect for use with either aftermarket or late-model GM tilt steering columns.
The basic, part number 4759PSK, kit consists of a replacement steering arm, an adjustable drag link, and steering-box mounting spacers and tab, and sells, at the time of writing this, for around $130. With this basic kit you'll need to supply your own power steering box, 6 3/4-inch-long pitman arm, and pump, hoses, and brackets. If you don't have a handy donor for these items and you don't feel like spending a precious Saturday morning at the parts store or bone yard, you can order up high-quality pumps and boxes (as well as the recommended heavy-duty replacement tie rod and ends, etc.) from CCP along with the basic kit. Be forewarned though, those running lowered frontends will need CPP's PSPA-R reversed pitman arm.
The Install
Even though we opted to look over the shoulder of Chad Vogele of Barry White's Street Rod Repair Company while he did the actual work, the installation process is really straightforward and requires only a tiny bit of welding (the top steering-box mounting tab). The balance of the installation can be done using the standard tools all us truck guys more than likely own in spades.
Basically, the first order of business is to disassemble and remove the original steering box/column combo and replace it with either a good used GM column, or preferably a high-quality aftermarket unit like the ididit tilt column and Borgeson shaft and joints used here. Another option is to modify the original column and utilizing RB's Obsolete Automotive's new Save-a-Column adapter (more on that in an upcoming issue) and a new CPP rag joint. Next is the removal of the stock drag link, steering arm, shocks, and shock mounts.
The original steering arm was mounted to the wheel backing plate below the kingpin and was home to both the drag link and tie rod/center link. In this case we opted to go for CPP's heavy-duty tie rod and ends so the original steering arm was modified to accept the new more reliable CPP tie rod ends (see photos). Unlike the original, the new power steering box mounts outside of the framerail. It uses, in part, the same mounting holes as the original, though it does sit higher on the rail than stock. CPP includes a triangular mounting tab in the kit that's welded to the top of the rail and accepts the final mounting bolt.
Once the new box is in position the new pitman arm, new steering arm (mounted to the backing plate above the kingpin, this time), and the modified original steering arm (mounted in its original position) can be installed along with the new adjustable drag link. The original lower shock mounts are repositioned behind the axle, as are the uppers. The new box is then attached to the column with a pair of steering joints and a new intermediate shaft. (As the new box is outboard of the framerail, a hole has to be made in the inner fender panel so the shaft can cross over the top of the framerail.)
The following photos will show the process in a bit more detail. It's really a straightforward conversion and one that'll greatly increase your driving pleasure. So check it out, and give some serious thought--especially after your next parking lot workout.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here are the original '59 Chevy steering components. The only original piece to be reused was the stock steering arm (though modified).These are the replacement components used to perform the conversion. They consist of a basic CPP Power Steering Conversion Kit, a CPP heavy-duty tie rod and ends, A CPP power steering box, an ididit column, and Borgeson joints and intermediate shaft.Start by disconnecting and removing the stock pitman arm from the box. The steering wheel and box/column assemblies get the heave-ho next.Because the conversion relocates the steering box from the inside of the frame to the outside, the positioning of the shocks are changed from ahead of the axle to behind the axle. To remove the brackets just grind off the rivet heads and use a center punch to drive out the rivets.The upper shock brackets (and the lowers too, for that matter) are then relocated to the backside of the axle. The uppers will use a combination of existing and new holes in the framerails while the lowers will just be swapped from the front to the back and angled a bit upwards to provide clearance for the tie rod.
Next, remove the factory steering arm from the backing plate (this is accomplished by removing the tie rod from the right-hand steering arm and removing the left steering arm and tie rod assembly as a unit). Once you've got it out, snug the tie rod up in a bench vise and prepare to separate the steering arm from the tie rod.There's a cap on the left-hand end of the tie rod behind which hides a spring and keeper. The cap, spring, and keeper must be removed in order to free the steering arm ball from its pocket and separate the arm from the tie rod.Once the arm is separated from the tie rod, snug the arm up in the vise this time and grind the backside of the arm (opposite the ball). Once it's ground flush, flip the arm over and drive the ball out of the arm with a punch.The CPP kit includes a new (additional) steering arm, which attaches to the backing-plate above the kingpin. The original left-hand steering arm is remounted in its original location, but its new job is only to transfer turning motion to the right-hand wheel via the tie rod. Because of this, Chad decided to trim off the portion of the original arm that the drag link attached to. The new adjustable drag link will now run from the new (upper) steering arm to the pitman arm.In order to mount the new power steering box you'll drill one additional mounting hole in the frame and add the supplied mounting tab to the top of the frame. To accomplish the mounting procedure, scribe the side of the framerail at the centerline of the axle. From this mark, measure forward 12 1/2 inches. From there measure down 1 inch from the top of the framerail, and mark the spot with a center punch.
The best way to locate the mounting tab correctly is to attach it to the box (as shown in the proceeding photo) and mount the new box to the framerail using the mounting bolts and spacers through the holes in the frame. Once the box is attached to the frame, the through-the-frame mounting bolts will hold it in place so it can be tack welded. Once it's been tacked, remove the box and finish-weld the tab in place. You also may have noticed that the inner fender panel had to be notched to allow clearance for the steering box mounting tab. Well, that's not the only trimming needed when it comes to that inner panel. Since the new power steering box is mounted outboard of the frame, the new intermediate steering shaft crosses over the top of the framerail and into the engine compartment.The new ididit polished stainless column was then installed following the instructions supplied with the column. Though you have the option of using an OEM late-model column, we feel that the peace of mind that goes along with a fully warranted high-quality ididit column was well worth the minor difference in cost over a remanufactured stock late-model unit.Chad figured the location for the intermediate shaft opening by using a wooden dowel pointed at an angle from the input shaft of the box toward the steering column shaft in the engine compartment. He then made a scribe mark on the panel, which he used as a reference point to mark an opening large enough to allow the shaft to pass through with no contact with the inner fender panel. That accomplished, he cut the opening with a cut-off wheel.To make the measurement, Chad installed the Borgeson joint on the end of the box and used a wooden dowel to mock the length of shaft needed.With the initial assembly nearly completed and everything test-fit, it was time to go back and check the tightness of all attaching bolts and nuts. It's a good idea to use a liquid thread locking solution on all attaching hardware to prevent loosening due to vibration. This includes not only the suspension and steering components but even the column drop and floor attaching point.
As the '59 Chevy used here had been previously modified by the installation of disc brakes and a sway bar of undetermined origin, the original lower shock mounts were MIA and had been replaced with a pair of homemade items (welded to the axle). To remedy this Chad cut the old forward located mounts off the axle and replaced 'em. He came up with a pair of grade-8 bolts of the correct length and diameter, cut the hex heads from the shoulders of the bolts, and TIG welded them in place of the old one's (this time pointing toward the rear of the truck. The bolts were bent slightly to achieve the correct angle, and the shocks remounted in their new location behind the axle.With the box, column, steering arms, tie rod, and shocks attached it was time to install the new pitman arm and adjustable drag link. The box was centered and the pitman arm was fitted to the pitman shaft of the box and the attaching nut torqued to spec.The next step was to attach the adjustable drag link to both the new steering arm and the pitman shaft, using the supplied castle nuts and cotter pins.

Media session: Yost and Kenney named to A.L. All-Star staff
Royals' manager, Ned Yost, and head trainer, Nick Kenney, will be a part of Ron Washington's American League All-Star Staff! Today Yost and Kenney met with the media describing their excitement for this opportunity. This is Kenney's 10th year in Major League baseball, so this news was a great surprise to him. "It means a great deal to me and to have the opportunity to work with these tremendous athletes is a great honor," said Kenney. Kenney will be working with Lonnie Soloff during All-Star week. Soloff was head athletic trainer in Cleveland where Kenney worked underneath him and they also worked together as assistant athletic trainers in Cincinnati. Kenney said, "He is a great friend of mine and is one of my mentors, so having the opportunity to rekindle that relationship and work this game is pretty special to me."
This will be Yost's fifth year being a part of the All-Star game. "My fondest memories in baseball come from the All-Star games, you get to enjoy it with your family and it is just a tremendously enjoyable experience. I am extremely honored and excited to be a part of it," said Yost. Having the All-Star game in Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium was already exciting, but now having a few more Royals in Yost and Kenney will make this year unforgettable.
Now back to baseball and tonight's game. Jonathan Sanchez will be taking the mound against the Brewers in tonight's second game of the three-game series. Sanchez is returning from his rehab assignment and was reinstated from the 15-day D.L. He has been out since early May with left biceps tendinitis. Yost said, "He is healthy. He feels good and strong and it is time for him to get back up here and get back after it again."
Eric Hosmer has been moved back up to the middle of the batting order. "He is getting better and working through some things. We think he is swinging the bat better and I think this will be his spot. I like the way the lineup is set up now," said Yost. Hosmer has had some times where he has been frustrated with his batting, but he is starting to improve and is helping the Royals get back on track.


text: What scope would you suggest for something like this? I really like the leupold LRT in mark 4, mainly because I can get my hands on it at cost. The vortex HD scopes intrigue me because of fit and finish and I love my vortex spotting scope. The zeiss are great scopes but I think they have crazy dials and tactical capabilities. always been a swaro fan but they too make a very hard to understand tactical scope. What do you guys suggest? I plan to spend at least $1,000.

History and Objectives
Degrees Offered
Admission and Retention Requirements
Academic Achievement Awards and Scholarships
Special Services and Programs
General Degree Requirements
Program Requirements
Minor in Social Welfare
Administrative Officers and Faculty
The School of Social Work was established in 1965, when an act of the Alabama legislature created a graduate school of social work, the first and only graduate social work program in the state. The undergraduate program began in 1970 and a doctoral program was added in 1975. The undergraduate program is the only such program in the state offered within a comprehensive school of social work.
Social work is a challenging and rewarding profession that has as its goal helping people live satisfying lives within their families and their communities. The profession's focus is on action to help people effect positive changes in their lives.
At the bachelor's and master's levels, the School of Social Work prepares social workers to plan, administer, deliver, and evaluate social services for citizens of the state, region, and nation. The bachelor of social work degree prepares the graduate to begin generalist practice in a variety of settings. The master of social work degree prepares the graduate for advanced, specialized practice. The doctor of philosophy degree prepares graduates to develop and impart knowledge to advance the profession. The faculty of the School engage in research and professional activities that are designed to enrich educational programs, improve social conditions, and meet the special needs of the state, region, and nation.
The undergraduate program leads to the bachelor of social work degree. The primary objective of the undergraduate program in social work is the preparation of students for effective practice of professional social work in beginning-level positions. The graduate is prepared as a social work generalist, with skills to assist individuals, families, groups, and communities in achieving goals, solving problems, and bringing about change where it is needed. Additionally, this program prepares students to enter graduate study in social work or related fields. It also provides interested persons with knowledge of social welfare needs and of the means of providing for those needs. These objectives, however, are secondary to the primary objective of preparation for practice.
Five basic requirements of the B.S.W. program prepare the student for practice as a generalist social worker: required liberal arts courses; elective courses; required social work courses; elective social work courses; and supervised social work field education.
The Profession of Social Work
Social work, unlike many other helping professions, recognizes the bachelor's degree as the first practice degree. The bachelor's-degree social worker deals directly with people to help prevent or to resolve problems. Such professionals can be found working in medical hospitals, mental-health clinics, and psychiatric hospitals. They are employed in both public and private agencies. They are heavily involved in child welfare in public welfare agencies, in schools, in adolescent and children's group homes, in child guidance, and in family counseling agencies. They work in nursing homes, helping older persons and their families, and with home health care programs. These professionals work with the physically handicapped and mentally retarded in state schools, in foster homes, in transition homes, and in clinics and rehabilitation centers. They work in juvenile and family court and in neighborhood and community centers. They also work to help make organizations and communities more responsive to the human needs of individuals.
Historically, social work has had the mission of helping the disadvantaged, those who have been excluded from participation in the ideal of a just and equitable society. The contemporary social worker is prepared to assist people of all ages, from all walks of life, with all kinds of problems, in a variety of settings.

The only thing worse than a campsite with a terrible view is a cramped tent that is nearly impossible to set up and take down quickly. The Kelty Vista 3 Tent fits three people comfortably thanks to the near-vertical walls and offers painless setup and break-down. Of course, with added space comes a little extra weight, but for veteran backpackers who split gear among partners, the Vista 2's added interior and vestibule space is a tradeoff worth taking.
- Waterproof fly and floor fabric feature fully taped seams for added protection from rainstorms and soggy weather
- ArcEdge floor design keeps floor seams high off the ground to prevent water from sneaking in
- Jake's Foot fly attachment utilizes a ball-and-socket design to keep the pole end in place during setup and easily pops out for take-down
- Color-coded clip construction and four high-quality DAC poles make setup a cinch
- Dual vestibules to house gear for each person outside each of the two doors
- Mesh-wall panels and fly vents provide you with plenty of ventilation when camping in the desert or during the summer months
- Internal storage pockets hold your headlamp or cell phone just in case you need them throughout the night

One awesome tent!!!!!
I am so very happy with the Kelty Vista 3 Tent that I purchased from backcountry.com.
The tent was set up very easily within minutes, it is roomy and comfortable (the near-vertical walls are a plus) and thankfully, the waterproof fly, is true to its name. The tent remained completely dry even after hours of strong wind and torrential rainfall.
I would highly recommend this product and Backcountry.com to anyone intersted in purchasing a high quality backpacking tent from a retailer who stands behind the products that they sell and has excellent customer service.
I just got back from my 1st weekend trip to the desert in this tent and it was great.
Setting it up in the dark with winds was a snap due to the jakes foot attachments and pole clips.
I had tons of room to stretch out and throw my gear around with the big vertical walls, and it was nice to close up the mesh panels to keep the sand from blowing in to a minimum.

text: I'm thinking of offering the zimbra briefcase to my users (~100 or so). The thing that I dislike about the functionality is that mounting a WebDAV drive on windows 7 is slow. The way zimbra briefcase works, means I have to open and edit my documents on the WebDAV drive. With something like Autocad which constantly writes to the drive, working on the zimbra briefcase files would be totally unproductive. However, windoze provides a synching solution for mobile users, windows briefcase. As far as I understand, you just copy the file to be synched to a windows briefcase, and the briefcase keeps it in sync. On the desktop you can still work on the local drive. On the mobile box, you can either edit it in place (slow), or work on a copy and update the briefcase with a the updated copy once you're done. I'd like combine the 2 functionalities, but windows doesn't seem to like the briefcase being on a mounted WebDaV drive. Any ideas? Any other way to sync files to my zimbra briefcase on my desktop without resorting to having multiple copies?

Paris, France (Sports Network) - After dropping the opening set at love,
American Sam Querrey charged back to stun Novak Djokovic, while Andy Murray
and red-hot Juan Martin del Potro avoided upsets at the $3.15 million
BNP Paribas Masters, the final ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament of
the year.
Querrey managed to win only 10 points in a 20-minute first set before fighting
back for an unlikely 0-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 victory at Bercy's Palais Omnisports.
The second-seeded Djokovic actually led 6-0, 2-0 before Querrey mounted his
comeback, which was completed in just over two hours.
The 23rd-ranked Querrey fired 18 aces and was broken only once in the upset of
the 2009 Paris Masters champion Djokovic, who was this year's Australian Open
winner and French and U.S. Open runner-up.
Djokovic learned on Monday that he will finish as the year-end No. 1 for a
second straight year. He will supplant current No. 1 Roger Federer atop the
rankings next week. Federer pulled out of this Paris event Sunday night after
losing to del Potro in the finale at the Swiss Indoors Basel.
Meanwhile, the third-seeded Murray handled oft-injured Frenchman Paul-Henri
Mathieu 7-5, 6-3 and a seventh-seeded del Potro won his 11th straight match
with a 6-2, 6-2 pasting of qualifier and fellow South American Alejandro Falla
of Colombia. Murray fired 12 aces past the wild card Mathieu.
Murray was this year's Wimbledon champion and Olympic gold medalist. Del Potro
is seeking his third title in three weeks, having titled in Vienna two weeks
ago and Basel last week.
Fourth-seeded David Ferrer avoided an upset by leveling fellow Spaniard Marcel
Granollers 6-1, 6-3. The six-time 2012 ATP champion Ferrer is fresh off his
title in Valencia in his native Spain last week.
French wild card Michael Llodra moved on by upsetting 10th-seeded American
John Isner 6-4, 7-6 (7-5). Isner fell despite striking 15 aces, but he also
had his serve broken once while failing to break the veteran left-hander
Meanwhile, eighth-seeded Serb Janko Tipsarevic topped Dutch qualifier Igor
Sijsling 6-4, 7-6 (7-0), ninth-seeded Argentine Juan Monaco got past
Bulgarian qualifier Grigor Dimitrov 7-6 (7-4), 6-2, and 11th-seeded Nicolas
Almagro outlasted fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos 7-6 (7-1), 6-7 (4-7), 6-3.
Also on Day 3, South African Kevin Anderson upended 12th-seeded Frenchman
Richard Gasquet 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 6-1 and France's Gilles Simon bested Romanian
lucky-loser Victor Hanescu 7-5, 6-3. Hanescu replaced last year's Paris
Masters champion Federer in the draw.
The newest Paris Masters champ will pocket $620,000.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Travel Cases in stock than that.View Similar Products
BIKND Helium Air-Cushioned Bike Case $0.00
The first thing you'll notice about the Biknd Helium Bicycle Travel Case is that it has air bags for your bike. We should note, by the way, that it doesn't use helium in any way -- just air. The name 'Helium' stems from the lightness of the case. It weighs only 24 lbs empty, and considering the level of protection it provides for your bike, that's darn light.
The air bladders are a big part of the story, but many less obvious details make the Helium Travel Case one of the best values in protection per dollar for your bike. For starters, it uses super tough 900 denier ballistics nylon and 1200 denier polyester Oxford cloth on the outside. At the stress points where the hubs lie inside the bag, tough plastic shields are used to protect your hubs and offer protection for the bag as well, since this would be a prime spot for abrasion if left unprotected. Similar plastic shields are used on the inside end of the hubs as well, and they're strapped into place so they'll never fall off during transport. On the subject of wheels, the Helium is unique in that it can store two pairs of wheels with the bike. So go ahead, take your aero wheels and your lightweight wheels for the days when you'll be high in the mountains.
The Helium Travel Case is easy to load because it zips open to lay completely flat. You'll have easy access to the fork mount -- no more finagling deep inside a dark box to secure the fork tips to the skewer block. Biknd includes pads for the fork leg, stem, and drivetrain to protect your bike's finish from scratches or abrasion. As you fold the case towards the secured bike frame, the inflatable bladders fold over the wheels on either side of the bike, separating them from the frame. And once the case is all zipped up, you'll use the included pump to inflate the pneumatic padding to fill the space between the wheels and frame. Other details include nylon sleeves to keep the wheels from abrading each other and a nylon rear hub spacer to protect the rear dropouts.
The Biknd Helium Bicycle Travel Case has casters to make transport through the airport easy. It will accept road bikes up to 64cm size and mountain bikes up to 45" wheelbase. In most cases, you will need to remove your rear derailleur from the bike frame. When assembled into full size, the Helium Case is 33.5" x 50" x 12". When not in use, the Helium shows off one of its most desirable features -- it packs down to a fraction of its assembled size. It's easy to stow in the corner of a hotel room or in the closet behind your jackets.
- Network of internal partitions inflates with a helium pump, which provides stability and protection at a lower weight than other systems
- Special compartments accommodate an extra wheelset as well as your helmet, shoes, and other essentials
- 360-degree opening allows you to pack your bike with only minor disassembly and without changing the adjustment of its components
- Fits easily in the trunk of a compact car

Great Product!!
I bought this Travel Case to ship my CX bike across the country. It worked great, about 7 months later I decided to ship my Cannondale Scalpel to St. George UT, so I had an adaptor made so I could bolt the Fork-Up lefty adaptor in and what do you know? It worked GREAT. No Damage. The following year I shipped my Fat Bike to Salt Lake for USA Cycling Fat Bike Nats and all I had to do was change the Fork-Up adaptor to fit the Fatty and the frame went both ways with no damage. Of course the fat bike required two Bike Cases, one for the wheels. 5" tires are a different matter! I highly recommend this travel case!!
Safe Travels!
I really like this bag, however, i can not find a video or instructions anywhere on how to put a FS MNT bike into this bag!!! ive searched for over an hour and nothing.
I had to give up and jut figure it out. I had to take off my FR suspension and disconnect the rear shock. this allowed me to raise the rear arm some so it would fit into the bag. After i got the bag off the plane, i noticed a wear mark where the rear of the frame was about to puncture through, im hoping my frame is bent :( will check in the morning.
Please help or post a legit video of a FS bike be installed into the bag! I ride a Specialized Camber 26er...Please help i dont want to buy a different bag
Great innovative product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Good job Bikdn, this case really impressed me. I used many cases since I'm doing competitions and it's the first time I'm not nervous for my Specialized S-works DI2. Also, the 360 degree opening is really usefull and the airbags give a ultimate protection to my bike.
Continue your doing a great job !
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This travel case is just awesome. I used it for the last 2 years for traveling to all the Ironman I participated and each time everything went really well. No scratch on the bike and you can take two pairs of wheels.
As I see the company have really improved the airbags resistance. My friend bought one before me and it seems we don't have the same bladders. (He asked the company and they sent him two free replacement)
I would definitly recommend this case for the durability, the design, the protection and the customer service.

BIKND Helium Bike Case
Bad Product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Don't by this case. I have gone through three air bladders. They don't puncture they just leak air at the seams. The bladders are poorly designed. Very unfortunate as this is an extremely expensive bike case and the bladders should have been thoroughly tested. Three flights later and this case is collecting dust. Not sure if Back Country will take it back, guess I should try.
BTW -- the airline bag guys will rip the front pull handle off on your first trip, recommend unbuckling prior to turning the case over to the airline for handling.
Not impressed....twice
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased two of these bags for my husband and myself for travel within the US. On our first trip, my bag lost a caster wheel. I got a replacement from biknd.....then I traveled alone - and one entire caster mechanism was ripped off the bag....where it was riveted on Oh and one of the seams opened....about a 2 inch long area. I was able to take the bag and have the local shoe repair person restitch the seam....but as far as the wheels....useless. Who wants a bag that you can't roll. Very disappointed in the wheel mechanism. The rest of the bag works great - never had a scratch on a frame.
Lost caster wheels while traveling
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The bag is really nice. However on my second flight I lost a caster wheel. On the third flight I lost the other caster wheel. I think I am going to install my own, something more secure than trying to get a replacement. Otherwise a nice case.

Hello, I am interested in this Biknd Helium...
Hello, I am interested in this Biknd Helium Bike Travel case. I saw your post at Amazon. From other sellers, I noticed that the case comes in different sizes, such as Small, Medium, Large and XLarge.
I have a road bike that is 55cm in size. Which size would fit?
RE: Shipping
What is the approx shipping cost to Hong Kong? I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you.
Hi Selena,
There is only one size of Biknd Case.
As long as the measurement going from the bottom bracket to highest point of the seat tube is 68 cm or less you will be fine.
Avoid for the Cost
The bag is good at only few things:
1. Rolling efficiently through the airport
2. Packing it is fast and simple
3. Light weight
4. Small easy to transport
This is where it goes wrong:
1. Construction quality is poor on seams and exterior nylon is not a hi denier to with stand the abrasion of travel and airports. After one trip the seams were bulging apart, the exterior handles are coming unstitched, the glued interior is coming apart from the edges of the plastic base plate.
2. The air bladders don't actually hold air? What a great idea to have air protect your expensive bike while traveling however, each time I retrieved the bike from the baggage claim it was empty. TSA checks every bike bag and therefore you are not allowed to watch the process. They do not simply open the zipper at the top at look inside. The entire bag comes apart and the air is let out so that it can be zipped together again while deflated.
Upon returning home I inflated the air bladders and within a few hours they had half the amount of air in them while packed with the pressure of a bike contained in the case. Bottom line, no air no protection for your bike.
3. The wheels are placed on the exterior of the air bladder with very little padding to protect from the case being stacked or tossed. This is also something that doesn't seem well designed to expose the wheels to absorb all the pressure and weight while its being tossed around. A pair of race wheels with no padding, not a great plan in the packing method of the case.
4. The rear of the case has zero protection for the rear der hanger or drop outs. Zero, none zero which meant I had to pack the case with more padding and try to protect the rear of the bike. This is absolutely not acceptable. It does not give good piece of mind when you open the case and it has no air the the rear der hanger is bent because the bike case doesn't have padding or a ridged area on the rear of the case for additional protection.
5. The straps have to act as a handle as well. This is not very well thought out. No handle on top means the straps act as the conduit for baggage handlers to throw the bike around. This means poor construction yields seams stressed beyond measure within the first trip.
6. Overall this is a better case than some I have used traveling with my bikes however for the cost and overall condition of the case after use, I would not suggest this case at even half the cost.
Excellent information for customers. Well thought out review.
This product is an example of good idea with terrible execution. It is easy to get a bike in the bag. The problem is that one does not purchase a bag to simply put a bike in it, but to get it from one place to another. Here are the things that went wrong on one round trip with one layover:
1. The clasps that attach the handle to the rest of the bag tore - the high quality nylon did not year, but the $0.01 cheap thread that is used to fix the nylon to the case did not stand up. Brought it to a cobble who fixed it for $25. He laughed when he saw the quality of the stitching.
2. Air bladder - only works if it holds air. Mine did not hold air on either trip. ON the way back I actually sat there and watched the TSA guys open and close the case to make sure they didn't let the air out . They did not.
3. Lost the wheels one the bottom of the case. Wheels are awesome, so awesome that I am giving this bag another shot. I was so happy wheeling my bike into the airport on the way there. On the way back it was a slog as I had to drag it.
4. The foam pad in the bottom of the case came unglued. The glue job was ridiculous.
Oh yeah, as a result of the bag getting deflated my mountain bike wheel suffered about $80 worth of damage - bent rotor and untrue wheel.
Yes - airlines are rough, but a $600 bag should protect the bike. I will try an exchange. If I have any issues I am sending back and giving a one star review. BKIND, if you read this and would like a video of my expereince, please let me know. Again - like the design, just don't use such cheap materials in critical places - especially the handle!
Air cushions go flat
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Im first biknd case air cushions went flat on the flight to S.A and my rims got bent! I sent the case back to BC and they traded it no questions asked! My second case had the same problem luckily my bike wasn't hurt on this flight! the case is over priced and is not safe to protect your bike!
Great Bike Bag
This was my first bike bag, and I would highly recommend it. I transported my bike from Singapore to Toronto, with 2 sets of wheels. I think it's probably one of the few bags that will allow for 2 sets of wheels. It was very easy to use, and it takes no time to re-assemble the bike. I am not a very good mechanic, and I basically just followed the instructions... and had no problems. I was considering between a hardcase and this, and am glad that I picked this bag instead.

Bikeradar says they managed to fit a medium full suspension in with room to spare. They also note " through-axles will requires (sic) dropout adapters, and some full-suspension designs will require you to flip the fork around and possibly deflate and compress the rear end."

Should the Poolbeg chimneys be demolished, Geroid thinks not. When you arrive in Dublin by plane, ferry, they are an iconic reference point. No matter where you are in the city you can still work out where you are. They are more like a structural monument. I think they have moved from being functional chimneys to monuments.

10% of the nation's oysters come from Florida's Apalachicola Bay, but there's trouble on the Forgotten Coast.
Drought, record low river flow and a battle with Georgia over waterways that feed the bay are threatening the industry.
Tuesday, the Senate Agriculture Committee began exploring ideas to save the oyster industry.
They listened to experts, including UF Professor Karl Havens who has been working with oysterman to try and find a way to save their industry and the ecosystem.
"We've been looking at what happened with the bay to cause the collapse and what are the things we can do to help with the recovery. To a large extent we've been working with the oyster industry to help them figure out how can they fish the oyster community in a more resilient way," said Havens.
Havens hopes to develop a system that keeps the oysterman employed and allows the bay to recover and says having the state's support is key.

I had two e-mails this morning announcing that my votes had been pulled from two bugs (Reason: This bug has been moved to a different product)
The bugs in question were:
[Bug 13810] Evolution Connector doesn't sync attachments on appointments
[Bug 13792] Evolution Connector needs to handle shared calendars/contacts
Trying to view those bugs now displays access denied errors.
Searching in Bugzilla for "evolution" doesn't display anything obviously linked to those bugs. Searching the forums and main website also doesn't reveal any announcements that I can find linked to anything that may have happened to the Evolution Connector.
Does anyone know where those bugs have been moved or what may be happening to the Evolution Connector?
