I love your Undermountain Map, and before I even read your comment I said, "Hey that looks like Undermountain!"
Good Job!
I'm posting these in finished maps because they are just some things I was goofing around with in CC3, mostly to explore what could be done with various bitmap fills and sheet effects. I doubt they are anything I would go back to except to use the things I learned in other projects.
Here is a cavern complex I did, mostly to experiment with sheet effects and shadows:
Here is an experiment to create a cobblestone street complete with gaslight (and somebody who escaped from the British Museum). I got the gaslight street lamps from the Dundjini users' forum, and the walls are from CSUAC:
Here's some more cobblestone streets:
Finally, here is an attempt to reproduce the maps found in the Forgotten Realms Ruins of Undermountain boxed set (2e AD&D version):
As always, any C&C is welcome, and if any CC3 users have any questions on how to do some of these things, please feel free to ask.
I love your Undermountain Map, and before I even read your comment I said, "Hey that looks like Undermountain!"
Good Job!
Wow, CC3 has definitely come of age! Great work. Just one comment about the cavern complex though. The shadows make it look like the complex is convex and standing proud of the background. Maybe one of those optical illusion things. This may be a repeating problem as I'm sure there's another thread where we've discussed this shadow problem before.
Obviously, it's not very useful as a map if only I can see it the way I intended.

What confuses the eye (for me) is this: I assume that there is only one light source, and that it is at the bottom right hand side of the drawing. If that were the case, then that would be consistent with the convex shape. If you put the light source top left, then the walls would cast a shadow consistent with a concave shape, but - you just wouldn't see a light source work that way through solid rock which is why (my mind) 'prefers' to see it as standing proud with convex edges.
Try using a dark inner glow rather than a drop shadow so the shadow is all around the walls. That would make the eye think that the light source was inside the rooms which would make sense....I think!
I think I'm going to give two things a try - first, change the light source direction to the bottom right and see how that looks, then I'm going to drop the wall shadow entirely and just tweak the Glow effect. I really wish Glow in CC3 had an opacity setting for more of a shadow look though. Will post results here later.
Edit: Here is what I came up with. What I did was add a *second* Shadow effect, this one with a light source at the opposite side of the first one:

Okay, one last cavern sample, because this has morphed into WIP.
On this one, I added a second bevel effect to the one above, this one with the colors inverted and that makes the cavern walls all the same darker grey color:
It is just like the vase/two faces thing. I can see it both ways, but I have to work harder to see it as concave (could just be because my brain now has convex as the expectation). Are the lighter border areas meant to be cave walls?
I wonder if you could put in a pointer which will help the brain work to see it as concave, by having a sconce in the wall for example?
Thanks again ravells for your help with this.
The lighted borders (from the bevel effect) are the cave walls. I added some torch sconces in one of the caverns to help with the visualization (I didn't use the symbols with lit torches because the addition of light would probably throw off the shadows etc.). They are aproximately in the middle of a cavern wall.
I decided to take some advice from writers and "kill my darlings". In this image, I've removed the bevel effect completely, and I think it makes things a lot more clear:

Famous Futuristic Home Gets High-Tech Makeover
Starship Enterprise-inspired command center features multiple screens and an electronic periscope.
How cool is this house? The Sculptured House, as it is called, was first made famous as the setting in Woody Allen's futuristic comedy Sleeper, in which Allen disguises himself as a robot and the house contains the famous "Orgasmatron" that was really the tubular liner of its elevator. It's also been featured on MTV's Extreme Cribs and HGTV's Home Strange Home, as well as in a March 2003 issue of Electronic House.
The famous home, which sits above Highway 70 west of Denver, appears futuristic with its clamshell/spaceship shape on a pedestal. And inside, it's recently been updated to maintain its futuristic theme with a multiscreen Star Trek-inspired command center, a raft of security cameras and a new Elan g! home control system, installed by local custom electronics installation firm Vision Systems.
When current owner Larry Winkler bought the house in 2010, he wanted to it to be a true model for the future. That meant making it more eco-friendly, updating the interior and installing a home entertainment and control system that would allow him to control the entire home from his iPhone. The Elan g! System that controls the lights, heat, air conditioning, whole home audio and video, window shades, security and surveillance systems–and allows the 7,500-square-foot structure to be much more energy-efficient.
"When I first purchased the house I had Excel Energy come out to do a heat and air flow analysis, and it turned out that the home lost 62 percent of its energy every hour," Winkler said. "That's more than double what the average house loses, so I replaced doors and installed electrically-heated windows, added insulation and installed new highly efficient heating and cooling units to make the house much more eco-friendly." With the Elan g! System, Winkler has lighting, heating and cooling schedules so no energy is wasted. "And when I leave I can shut down basically the whole house with the touch of a button on my iPhone."
Ron Winne and Jeff Kirkham from Vision Systems integrated eight TVs (one in a 5.1-channel media room), six audio zones, 13 climate zones, an HAI security system, a slew of stationary and PTZ (pan, zoom, tilt) IC Realtime surveillance cameras both inside and outside the home, plus more than 100 Lutron HomeWorks QS lighting loads into the Elan g! System, giving Winkler instant control of every major system in the home. They're controlled by iPads, iPhones and Elan's TS2 4-inch in-wall touchscreens.
Captain Kirk Control
But the topper is what's underneath–in the form of an addition containing a control center with four HDTVs and LED lighting so Winkler can view whatever is going on in and around his cool home.
"I had Ron and Jeff from Vision Systems help me design and build a real-life command center that borrows from the aesthetics of the Starship Enterprise," Winkler said, "Besides the fun sci-fi aspect, the room's four HDTVs let me have a 360-degree view of every system in my home. One of 65-inch TVs is used for the Elan g! interface, another for the security cameras fed from the security DVR, and the other two for TV. Elan g! is the central nervous system that runs the house and this command center was a fun way to show it off."
In addition to the home's central systems, the custom installation pros at Vision Systems also programmed Winkler's g! System to automate the snow melters on the roof (a must have in Denver). Vision System's Kirkham says monitoring the temperature and efficiency of the home's new boiler is next, and the company is looking into using an energy monitoring system, which would show on one of the four TVs in the Enterprise-like command center.
Interestingly, the Sculptured House was first built by architect Charles Deaton, who envisioned the home with curved walls and no corners, to promote serenity and wellness. But Deaton ran out of money and could not finish it, and it sat empty for decades, populated by wolves and woodland creatures and its floor-to-ceiling windows broken so the house looked down at the highway with a shattered grin. Then in 1999, an ex-AOL exec bought the house, spent millions with Deaton's daughter renovating it, and hired Vision Systems to equip it with some home control, lighting control and audio/video. The company did just that, often wrestling with the home's concrete and steel frame but managing to make the systems work. Ironically, in 2004 this super-futuristic house was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

(Submission #12)
Internet/computer use and addiction has been a popular research area since the 90s. Studies of Internet addiction are usually conducted in the US. However, computer/Internet use and addiction is a world wide phenomenon. Our study provides findings from a major study of computer/Internet use and addiction among teenagers and Internet cafe visitors in Turkey. Some 983 visitors to Internet cafes in Turkey completed a survey questionnaire. Results show that the Internet cafe visitors are usually teenagers, mostly middle and high-school students who use computer and Internet applications like chat, e-mail, browsing and games. Teenagers visit Internet cafes to spend time with friends and use the computers. In addition, 30% of cafe visitors indicated that they had an Internet addiction and 20% mentioned Internet problems. We discuss the nature of Internet/computer usage and addiction in Turkey, the types of activities that the teenagers are performing in an Internet cafe, their reasons for being there, the percentage of self-awareness about Internet addiction, and the lack of control of applications in the cafe.

|Students take a stand
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke Elementary students are standing hand-in-hand this spring to show they are making a difference against bullying. The children decorated hands, which are now hung on the front doors of the elementary school. The hands remind students to "Take a Stand, Lend a Hand, Stop Bullying," the theme of their assembly last October where students signed a poster to pledge their stand against bullying.
Kindergarten and first-grade kids have recently been talking about feelings during their times with counselor Sharon Jones, so they decorated their hands with one or two feelings. Grades 2-6 decorated their hands with something they remembered from counseling lessons this year.

2003 Asphalt Ego-Rama Winner AnnouncedWritten by on December 5, 2003 Results from R&C's Real World Performance Shootout
The results are in from the 3rd annual Rod & Custom Asphalt Ego-Rama, and the winner is Tim Nesmith's '41 Chevy coupe from Hartselle, Alabama.
R&C readers chose the following six cars to participate in a five-day road trip/road test, hosted and judged by R&C:
Norm Cowdrey's '56 Chevy Nomad from Camarillo, California
Don Dillard's '30 Ford Five-Window Coupe from Irwindale, California
Fred Douglas' '48 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible from Shawnee, Kansas
Rex Marshall's '55 Chevy 210 from West Bountiful, Utah
Larry Metz' '32 Ford Cabriolet from Arcadia, California
Tim Nesmith's '41 Chevy Coupe from Hartselle, Alabama.
The event started in Burbank, California, and ended in Scottsdale, Arizona. While cruising across the Southwest, the R&C staff (Jim Rizzo, Dan Kahn, Damon Lee, and Tim Bernsau) judged each of the vehicles in nine categories: Acceleration, Braking, Cornering, Gas Mileage, People's Choice, Engineering, Ride & Drive, Budget, and Style Points.
When all the evaluating was done, Tim was the winner. As usual, the champion was the car that didn't didn't dominate in any single category, but performed consistently well in every area of hot rodding performance. Congratulations Tim!
Look for complete coverage of the 2003 R&C Asphalt Ego-Rama in the April issue of Rod & Custom.
On Without Don Dillard
To everybody's disappointment, Asphalt Ego-Rama participant Don Dillard was forced to drop out of the competition after injuring himself while starting his Model A coupe. He was standing half in, half out of the car, turning the ignition key when the brand new neutral safety switch failed and the coupe lurched backward a foot or two, hitting a cement wall and knocking him down. He was taken to a hospital and released several hours later with a possible veterbrae compression fracture, which required a few weeks of rest. Don has been invited back for Asphalt Ego-Rama '04.

(UPDATED) PHOTO OP: Take a picture, it lasts longer
Novak Djokovic was spotted signing autographs for some obviously eager fans after getting in a practice session at the Queensland Tennis Centre for the Brisbane International. The sexy Serb is the top seed at the tourney and could meet current nemesis Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final, a rematch of last year's Aussie Open final won by the World No.3.
Nole is also working the new metallic silver adidas Edge ClimaCool trainers I previewed late last year. Still loving 'em!
More pics of his training below; click here for the Brisbane draws.
UPDATE: DtL reader Maja noted "I probably lived under a rock but when did he leave Wilson and headed (ha!) to head? Is it for the money or does he really think Head makes the better racquets?"
Anyone have any info on whether the switch is permanent or if it's just a trial run with Head?

Looking good here.ReplyDelete
I'm normally not a fan but he looks somewhat cute in this pics...
On another note: I probably lived under a rock but when did he leave Wilson and headed (ha!) to head? Is it for the money or does he really think Head makes the better racquets?
So many questions...
maja: observant eyes there! no info on that one - but let me add an update to see if anyone has any info!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 3, 2009 at 11:49 AM
i heard that it was a 4.5million euro deal, but he used to use HEAD before he moved to Wilson.ReplyDelete
Wow! That's alot of €€€! Are we talking annual or for a certain period of time?ReplyDelete
Anyway, as long as he wins matches it should pay off for him in more ways than one...
- uvijek argenJanuary 3, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Good that you guys notice it. As soon as i so the pics i said "whaaaattttt"?? cant belive he change just like Ivanovic...I, myself im happy to use Wilson, it change my game(together with Luxillon)...but if its for money I prefer to change my bank account ; ) wink wink.ReplyDelete
ps. Did anybody saw Marat black eye??..somebody beat the hell out of him...I will see him tonight on Hopman cup.
- AnonymousJanuary 3, 2009 at 1:18 PM
A while ago I read somewhere that Novak was testing Head racquets, but nothing much was said since. This proves that it wasn't just a rumor. Today I read in some serbian newspaper that Jelena Jankovic was spotted with a Wilson bag on court during preparations in Belgrade, and her mom supposedly said she will not sign with Reebok and Prince. So far Wilson lost Ivanovic, Djokovic, Justine retired, and it makes (some) sense that they are looking for a high profile player to sign for them. For Ana switching to Yonex proved to be great move,so I guess we'll see if those two made such good choicesReplyDelete
Thanks for the info everyone - wow, 4.5 million euros IS a lot of bank. But it's weird for them to switch when they've been successful with a certain brand. Ballers used to be so sensitive to those things but it seems not anymore. Good point anon 4:18 about Ana's switch to Yonex - a lot of good it did her.ReplyDelete
Yes I heard rumors about JJ leaving Reebok but it was because of the economy and they can't afford to have her. So I'm curious to see if that's true and, if so, who she'll end up with. Let's hope it's nothing she designs herself - we've seen how well that turns out.
I heard that JJ rumor as well. Her mom said that "everybody is interested" in signing her, now that she's No.1, but that they couldn't reveal anything just yet.ReplyDelete
Don't know if it's a smart move leaving Reebok. They seemed to pay more attention to her lately.
There is no way in hell that she would join Adidas since they have Ana.
Nike would be a bad choice since they have Serena, Masha and Dani as their poster girls.
That would leave her with Fila (hell no!!), KSwiss (pretty...boring) and Yonex (may I say denim dress!?)
Anyway, should be interesting where she ends up and if they can make sth that suits her.
Hey, maybe teams up with Mattek and starts her own fashion line... Lots of glitter, bright eyeshadow, metallic and animal prints are ahead of us! LOL...
- AnonymousJanuary 3, 2009 at 1:57 PM
Ever since I heard rumors about JJ leaving Reebok I am looking for an info where will she land. And these days it's not just Nike, Adidas, Fila, there is a lot of less known or almost forgotten brands willing to pay good money for No.1 player, and JJ would be a fool if she doesn't cash in her current "best player in the world" status. Agree on JJ - the "designer" part, but look what some professionals did last year - not much better.ReplyDelete
anon 4:57 - no, JJ takes bad design to another level. seriously.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 4, 2009 at 2:35 AM
JJ - the "designer", well her USO dress was OK. JJ - the "designer" for that Mona collection, I really don't know who is going to buy any of that (well maybe some diehard fans with no fashion sense).ReplyDelete
- Phaura ReinzJanuary 4, 2009 at 4:14 AM
it started last year in december when novak may have decided whether he may change to other racquets or stick with wilson, his contract expires last december with wilson, i don't really know the reason,ReplyDelete
but may i ask what is the better racquet these days? wilson? prince? head? babolat? or yonex?
wow! jj is leaving reebok? jj is the poster model for jj for about a year now in its tennis line......
maybe jj could switch to monique lhuillier........she could wear bride inspired dress at hongkong exhibtion or at the aussie open, with matching ribbons
- AnonymousJanuary 4, 2009 at 7:21 AM
I heard early in December that Nole will change his racquet and that was only a rumor... but obviously it's true... I read in some newspapers that he signed a contract with Head (worth 4.5 million euro - guess, not yet confirmed) and that he is practically finished his cooperation with Wilson... he, as they said, refused cooperation with Babolat and Adidas...ReplyDelete
Ok, Nole knows the best which racquet fits him, but i'm glad that he still has his smile vibra stop... :)
and JJ will change her sponsor, question is still open, but for racquet contract it will be for sure Wilson... Reebok isn't sure at all...
and that's the way it goes... Wilson lost one, but he's going to get another one... ;)))
btw... Nole is looking really great... :))
Sorry for my english :D
- AnonymousJanuary 4, 2009 at 8:23 AM
wilson still has fed, del potro, tsonga and the williams sisters. jj should be a great addition to their team but i think they should sign up one of the young guns too (e.g. wozniacki, cornet). as for ana's switch to yonex, it def benefited her a lot. her slice and backhand has improved and her forehand has become much deadlier. plus she has a very lucrative deal with them, aren't they paying her $10M if she becomes no.1?ReplyDelete

Still Laughing
The other day I was walking in the forest above the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve when my musings were disturbed by a raucous, almost hysterical laugh. For some reason, the thought that flashed through my mind was "My God, Laughing Sal!"
Laughing Sal
For many years, Laughing Sal epitomized the spirit of San Francisco's Playland at the Beach, an amusement park whose history stretched back to the turn of the 19th Century. Take a look at San Francisco's Playland at the Beach: The Early Years, or check out a good video of the park's later years called Remembering Playland. Today, Sal resides down at Fisherman's Wharf in the Musee Mecanique. Stop by, throw a quarter in the slot and share a few laughs.
Did You Know?
For many years, the only place that you could get one of San Francisco's unique ice cream sandwiches, "It's-It," was Playland. They were originally not available in any store.

Since Danny could not pull off a deal to bring in an impact player, like Josh Smith, who could provide rebounding and scoring, he basically did nothing.
For a much needed dependable scorer, he brought in an inconsistent and individual baller in Crawford. AS it turns out, Crawford, like Terry, is not a dependable scorer and is otherwise disruptive to the offense team flow. Swing and a miss. We still lack sufficient scoring. But at least he tried.
Even with a weak offense, the Celtics could have been competitive if Danny had acquired someone...anyone to grab some rebounds. Very few teams, other than Miami who has a super charged offense, can consistently win when they give up a 10-20 rebound differential per game. To not strengthen our ability to close that rebound deficiency as the highest priority, must do, even if it required giving up too much, was imo, incompetent.
I don't believe that this team can even reach the second round of the playoffs no matter who they play. Our guards can't score consistently (Rondo doesn't solve this problem) and our front court can't rebound... ever. Hopefully Sully will narrow the rebounding gap next year, but we still need more presense underneath.
Bottom line - Danny gave up on the Celtics and the fans this year. One of the biggest Cellics managmnt bunders in recent memory will hurt us for years to come.

Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Interpretation Guidelines by SWGDAM (Forensic Science Communications, July 2000)
July 2000 - Volume 2 - Number 3
Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Interpretation Guidelines
Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM)
Introduction | Preliminary Evaluation of Data | Designation |
Interpretation of Results | 4. Conclusions | Statistical Interpretation
References/Suggested Readings
The interpretation of results in casework is a matter of professional judgment and expertise. Not every situation can or should be covered by a preset rule. It is important that the laboratory develops and implements written guidelines for interpretation of analytical results. This document provides a framework for the laboratory to develop short tandem repeat (STR) interpretation guidelines. The laboratory's interpretation guidelines should be based upon validation studies, data from the literature, instrumentation used, and/or casework experience.
1. Preliminary Evaluation of Data
1.1. The laboratory should develop criteria to determine whether the results are of sufficient intensity/quality for interpretation purposes using methods appropriate for the detection platform. These criteria should be determined by evaluating data generated by the laboratory.
1.1.1. When quantitative results (e.g., peak amplitude) are used to evaluate STR profiles, the results should be examined to determine if they meet the laboratory's defined analytical and interpretational threshold(s).
220.127.116.11. The analytical threshold(s) is defined as the minimum and maximum intensity thresholds that are determined to assign alleles.
220.127.116.11. The interpretational threshold should be defined empirically.
1.1.2. When quantitative results are not used, the laboratory should establish criteria to interpret alleles based on visual inspection of gel images.
1.2. The laboratory should develop criteria to evaluate internal lane size standards and/or allelic ladders.
1.3. Controls are required to assess analytical procedures.
1.3.1. The laboratory should establish criteria for evaluation of the following controls, including but not limited to: reagent blank, amplification blank, and positive control.
1.3.2. The laboratory should develop criteria for the interpretation and documentation of results in the event that the controls do not perform as expected.
1.4. A laboratory using STR multiplexes that contain redundant loci should establish criteria regarding the concordance of such data.
2.1. The laboratory should establish criteria to assign allele designations to appropriate peaks or bands.
2.1.1. Locus Designation: The laboratory should establish criteria to address locus assignment for alleles.
2.1.2. Allele Designation: The laboratory should designate alleles in accordance with Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) recommendations.
22.214.171.124. Whenever possible, allele designation should be based operationally on the number of repeat sequences contained within the allele and by comparison to an allelic ladder.
22.214.171.124. The designation of alleles containing an incomplete repeat motif (i.e., an off-ladder allele falling within the range spanned by the ladder alleles) should include the number of complete repeats and, separated by a decimal point, the number of base pairs in the incomplete repeat (e.g., FGA 18.2 allele).
184.108.40.206. If an allele falls above the largest or below the smallest allele of the allelic ladder, the allele should be designated as either greater than (>) or less than (<) the respective ladder allele, or when appropriate interpolation can be used.
2.2. Artifacts can occur and should be noted. These may include, but are not limited to, the following: pull-up, stutter, and nontemplate nucleotide addition. The laboratory should establish guidelines based on empirical data (obtained internally or externally) to address the interpretation of these and other artifacts.
3.1. The laboratory should define conditions in which the data would lead to the conclusion that the source of the DNA is either from a single person or more than one person. This may be accomplished by an examination of the number of alleles at each locus, peak height ratios, and/or band intensities.
3.1.1. Single Contributor: A sample may be considered to be from a single contributor when the observed number of alleles at each locus and the signal intensity ratios of alleles at a locus are consistent with a profile from a single contributor. All loci should be evaluated in making this determination.
3.1.2. Mixtures With Major/Minor Contributors: A sample may be considered to consist of a mixture of major and minor contributors if there is a distinct contrast in signal intensities among the alleles. The difference is evaluated on a case-by-case context. All loci should be evaluated in making this determination.
3.1.3. Mixtures With a Known Contributor(s): In some cases, when one of the contributors (e.g., the victim) is known, the genetic profile of the unknown contributor may be inferred. Depending on the profiles in the specific instance, this can be accomplished by subtracting the contribution of the known donor from the mixed profile.
3.1.4. Mixtures With Indistinguishable Contributors: When major or minor contributors cannot be distinguished because of similarity in signal intensities or the presence of shared or masked alleles, individuals may still be included or excluded as possible contributors.
3.2. The laboratory should have guidelines for interpretation of partial profiles (i.e., profiles with fewer loci than tested) that may arise from degraded or limited quantity DNA or from the presence of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inhibitors.
3.3. The laboratory should establish guidelines to interpret profiles that exhibit potential stochastic effects (e.g., allele dropout and/or substantial imbalance of alleles).
4.1. The laboratory should prepare guidelines for formulating conclusions resulting from comparisons of single source samples and mixtures with known reference samples.
4.1.1. General categories of conclusions include, but are not limited to: inclusion or match, exclusion or nonmatch, inconclusive or uninterpretable, and no results.
5.1. The source of the population database(s) used should be documented. Relevant population(s) for which the frequency will be calculated should be identified.
5.2. The formulas used in calculating the frequency of a DNA profile should be defined for the following:
5.2.1. Heterozygote profiles
5.2.2. Homozygote profiles
5.2.3. Composite profiles (i.e., multiple locus profiles)
5.2.4. Minimum allele frequencies
5.2.5. Mixture calculations
5.2.6. Biological relationships, where appropriate
5.3. When used, criteria for the declaration of source attribution should be documented.

Sooner than it feels possible, but ABQ Comic Expo is coming! At the ABQ Convention Center June 21-23, Quelab has been assigned Booth #521 with the Star Wars Cosplayers behind us. We've got a 10×20 booth, which means we have twenty feet of aisle-space to show off the cool things which Quelab members have made, are making, and plan to make.
This is our opportunity to show off why Albuquerque has a hackerspace, and what a hackerspace can do for the ACE attendees. Now, this isn't the Artemis booth, this is the "come see the cool stuff we do" and 'drop in hackerspace' booth. (Hopefully, this year, "cool things" doesn't include the air-conditioner).
We need to be able to find the same amount of cool things to show off to the public, and we need LOTS more swag to both sell and give away. Learning from last year, we need plenty of Cheap Freebies (flyers, cards, etc) to give away, and not so much swag, unless it's Maker Faire pins or soldering kits (with a free, on the spot class). We also need to have people sign up to man the booth, as well as setup on Friday Afternoon and teardown on Sunday Evening.
So who has a thing to show off?
And stay tuned for a big announcement regarding the Artemis project…

In response to jmwalters' comment:
In response to shuperman's comment:
I dont think you snap your fingers and its better. Its not a secret. They practice it daily. Its been like this for yrs.
Nobody is suggesting that it is that easy. However, 27 other teams (including some very bad ones) seem to have found a better way of doing it so their are remedies out there. The mere fact that it has been this bad for so long means it is a systemic issue...cough......Ward.....cough.
At the end of the day Ward should be "let-go". Unfortunately, he's being paid as a "special-teams" coach and the PP has not produced. As you all know, his firing in itself may jumpstart the PP. At this point, can it hurt? An average power play can make the BRUINS 'lights-out". Tukka still has big skates to fill, and I'm sure he will. Thomas was the x-factor during the Cup run that featured a weak PP. A 20% effective PP can at least make up for a teams mistakes during the course of a game, and from a tactical stand-point, make the BRUINS a very difficult team to beat.

16 U.S. Code § 469 l - Findings and purposes
prev | next
(a) Findings
The Congress finds the following:
(1)The Underground Railroad, which flourished from the end of the 18th century to the end of the Civil War, was one of the most significant expressions of the American civil rights movement during its evolution over more than three centuries.
(2)The Underground Railroad bridged the divides of race, religion, sectional differences, and nationality; spanned State lines and international borders; and joined the American ideals of liberty and freedom expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to the extraordinary actions of ordinary men and women working in common purpose to free a people.
(3)Pursuant to title VI of Public Law 101–628 (16 U.S.C. 1a–5 note; 104 Stat. 4495), the Underground Railroad Advisory Committee conducted a study of the appropriate means of establishing an enduring national commemorative Underground Railroad program of education, example, reflection, and reconciliation.
(4)The Underground Railroad Advisory Committee found that—
(A)although a few elements of the Underground Railroad story are represented in existing National Park Service units and other sites, many sites are in imminent danger of being lost or destroyed, and many important resource types are not adequately represented and protected;
(B)there are many important sites which have high potential for preservation and visitor use in 29 States, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands;
(C)no single site or route completely reflects and characterizes the Underground Railroad, since its story and associated resources involve networks and regions of the country rather than individual sites and trails; and
(5)The National Park Service can play a vital role in facilitating the national commemoration of the Underground Railroad.
(6)The story and significance of the Underground Railroad can best engage the American people through a national program of the National Park Service that links historic buildings, structures, and sites; routes, geographic areas, and corridors; interpretive centers, museums, and institutions; and programs, activities, community projects, exhibits, and multimedia materials, in a manner that is both unified and flexible.
(b) Purposes
(1)To recognize the importance of the Underground Railroad, the sacrifices made by those who used the Underground Railroad in search of freedom from tyranny and oppression, and the sacrifices made by the people who helped them.
(2)To authorize the National Park Service to coordinate and facilitate Federal and non-Federal activities to commemorate, honor, and interpret the history of the Underground Railroad, its significance as a crucial element in the evolution of the national civil rights movement, and its relevance in fostering the spirit of racial harmony and national reconciliation.

Project Purple Pig Power Window Installation - Glazed ExpressionWritten by on June 1, 2011 The Purple Pig Gets Power Peepers
Project Purple Pig is rapidly approaching the body and paint stage, but there are still a fair number of jobs to be completed before we get there. It's always advisable to complete everything before a car's painted, as if you leave anything until afterward, you'll invariably have to modify something or run the risk of scratching paint. I like to have a car totally done, to the point of glass fitted and all holes drilled, even in places like the doorjambs, before I break out my trusty DeVilbiss gun.
I replaced the rusted out doors on the '49 with a pair donated by Brad Masterson, and though the new ones were chopped, they didn't fit my car, so I swapped my door tops onto the replacements. With that done, and the doors checked for fitment, I set about adding electric door windows, using a kit from Specialty Power Windows. The cable-driven Wonder-Lift kit completely replaces the stock crank handle and regulator and was simple to install, though a little welding was required in my application, as the kit is designed to be universal.
As my Chevy has been chopped for years now, and has seen plenty of miles, I had already chopped the vent window assembly and possessed door glass, which I knew fit the felt channels perfectly.
Whether or not your car is chopped, this is the most important first step. If the glass doesn't fit correctly, and move up and down in the run channels (which must be parallel) with no measurable movement front to rear, it will not operate smoothly. The instructions that are supplied with the Specialty Power Windows kit explains how to check this, but make sure you have good or new felt channels installed. Adjust the channels accordingly, and if you don't have glass yet, make 1/4-inch-thick patterns from MDF, from which new glass can be copied.
With the glass fitted, it was simply a case of following the instructions.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The old window mechanism and glass needs to be removed, which means removing the handles first. GM cars use a clip to secure the handles to the splined shaft, requiring a special tool, as shown, for removal (or a couple of thin screwdrivers!).The clip fits in a groove on the rear of the handle and can be fiddly to remove, especially with the upholstery panel in place.The lower ends of the window channel that fits between the door glass and the vent window have these adjusters to enable the angle to be altered. As the glass will now be farther out at the bottom (because the top is further in owing to the chop) these needed replacing with longer versions.Having already chopped the vent window assemblies years ago, these were installed in the new doors along with their rubber seals. These will all be replaced with new versions before final assembly.I made new adjusters using lengths of matching all-thread, and cut a slot in the end with a cutoff wheel.The Chevy door has a brace between the inner and outer doorskins, which would interfere with fitment of the new regulator, and required trimming. You can also see how the adjuster at the bottom of the channel works, plus the mount for the lower end of the channel at the rear of the door (arrow). This channel was modified to sit at the new, correct angle and still use this mount.
Here's a look at the new components laid in place on the inner doorskin. It can be seen that the brace and regulator want to occupy the same space inside the door. For clarity I laid masking tape along the line where the upper edge of the brace is positioned.The regulator requires cutting to length, and to correctly determine where the cut should be made, the kit contains this template. The end marked "BOTTOM" was placed in the upper glass felt run, the template marked where it crossed the edge of the doorskin, then marked again 3/8-inch lower to allow for regulator adjustment.The template was laid on the regulator-in the fully "down" position-and a square used to mark the cut line.The same template was also used to determine the positions for the upper and lower regulator mounting brackets. The mark that is 3 1/2 inches from the bottom of the template was laid on the line denoting the location of the bottom of the glass, with the template located in the center of the glass opening. The arrowed tape marks the position of the top of the regulator, now cut to length. The mounts should be as far apart as possible, yet align with the slots on the template.With the regulator cut down, the end cap was transferred from the scrap section, as well as the cage nut, which accepts a bolt through the upper mounting bracket. A screwdriver was used to pry the cage nut's "ears" through the slot.With the mounting bracket locations transferred to the inner skin, a cutoff wheel was used to remove the sections.Glass setting tape is provided, and was used to install the sash channel, located centrally on the glass. Standing the glass upright, with a couple layers of thick cardboard underneath (carpet is preferred), a soft mallet was used to fit the channel. Go easy here!
The slotted tube that bolts to the glass channel locates on these two shoulder pins, running on these spherical runners.With the runners inside the round slotted tube, R-clips prevent the assembly from coming adrift, yet provide movement for the glass.Now the mounting brackets were bolted to the regulator. With all components slotted there's plenty of room for adjustment.Using the test harness provided, I used the Optima battery from the Chevy to check the window operation. With no binding, and smooth, silent operation, it worked beautifully.With the window in the fully closed position, the upper mounting bracket was tack welded in place, taking care to protect the glass. With it in the fully open position, the lower bracket was tacked.I next cut out a small filler piece of sheetmetal to attach the side of the lower bracket that was located in the door aperture. A final test of the window operation proved all was well.Though the Specialty Power Windows kit contains door conduit, I'd already drilled the driver door and A post for similar pieces from The Glass House, so I will use these on both doors.
The GM switches provided are perfectly adequate, but won't really suit the look of my car. I'll either mount them under the leading edge of the dash, or swap them out for smaller switches that I can hide in the undersides of my stock armrests. It should be noted these kits can be supplied with chrome, black, console, or armrest switches.

Dominick jury warned of impasse as it returned today
Published: May 9, 2014
Article Tools
Tweets by @rbrownTT
The jury in Jason Dominick's homicide trial advised Lackawanna County Judge Terrence Nealon on Friday it may have reached an impasse, which could lead to a hung jury and mistrial.
The jury, which consists of an alternate who took the place of one of the original jurors, deliberated for 10 hours Friday. That's in addition to 7½ hours of deliberations on Thursday.
Judge Nealon allowed jurors to discontinue deliberations at about 6:15 p.m. Friday and directed them to return to the courthouse today at 9 a.m. He will read them instructions about how to handle the impasse to determine if they can reach a verdict on some, all or none of the charges. If they determine they cannot, the judge will have no choice but to declare a mistrial.
Mr. Dominick, 23, of Scranton, is charged with first- and third-degree murder and conspiracy to commit those crimes. Prosecutors said he shot Frank Bonacci of Dunmore in the back of the head as the men rode in the victim's Jeep with Neil Pal on July 20. The men then forced the vehicle into a ravine, where it was found seven days later. Mr. Dominick admits he took part in the cover up, but claims Mr. Pal was the shooter.
Mr. Dominick is charged as the principal, which means prosecutors believe he was the shooter, and an accomplice. Mr. Pal, 23, of Scranton, is charged only as an accomplice and is scheduled to stand trial in June.
In order to reach a verdict, the jury must come to a unanimous decision to convict or acquit a defendant. The judge's instructions today will direct jurors what to consider to determine if they can come to an agreement or if they have truly reached an impasse. If a mistrial is declared on all or some of the counts, prosecutors would have to decide whether to seek a retrial.
The original jury consisted of seven women and five men. About noon Friday, Judge Nealon dismissed one of the original jurors, a man, because he had to attend a memorial service for his father. The man advised the court at the start of the trial he could not continue his service if the case went past noon on Friday. Attorneys and the judge expected the case to wrap up by Wednesday or Thursday, so they allowed him to remain on the panel. Judge Nealon stressed the man's dismissal had nothing to do with his views on the case.
The new juror, a woman, joined the original panel around 12:30 p.m. Judge Nealon told jurors they were required to disregard any influence the excused juror had on deliberations and were to restart discussions as if they had just received the case.
In the 10th day of trial, the emotional toll of the extended deliberations was apparent. About 25 family members and friends of Mr. Bonacci and Mr. Dominick paced nervously, gathering in the courtroom to await updates. Some held rosary beads as they waited in the courtroom. The Bonacci family talked quietly in the hallway, looking up every time the courtroom door opened.
The jury asked several questions throughout the day Friday, including requests to review evidence and whether Mr. Dominick could still be found guilty of the conspiracy charge if they acquitted him of first- or third-degree murder. Judge Nealon conferred with prosecutors and the defense and advised jurors they could not convict on the conspiracy charge alone.
The jurors also requested a clarification of the accomplice charge, asking if, by participating in the cover-up, Mr. Dominick could be found guilty as an accomplice. Judge Nealon reread jury instructions regarding that matter.
After each question, the family members filed into the courtroom to hear the latest developments. Each round of questions invited speculation about what jurors could be thinking.
Many of the questions jurors asked Thursday focused on crime scene photos and reports prepared by expert witnesses who analyzed evidence. The experts gave differing opinions regarding whether the fatal shot was fired from the backseat, where Mr. Dominick was seated, or driver's seat, which was occupied by Mr. Pal. The question is pivotal to the case because the defense claims Mr. Pal was the shooter.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Today we tackle the messy but truly rewarding realm of "work from home jobs."
Whether it's folks growing increasingly frustrated with commute times or increasing gas costs, there are many reasons a work-from-home job is appealing. The problem is that there are more fake jobs out there than real ones.
Before I flag two local companies where you may be able to find that opportunity, I want to point out the scams to avoid at all costs.
• That woman you see in the ad making $8,000 per week working from home is bogus. That does not exist. Rule out any opportunities like that.
• You cannot make $3 to $5 per envelope that you stuff. Legit companies have postage machines.
• Spending $150 on a starter kit is a bad way to start. You do not need to buy your own supplies from legit companies.
• Posting ads or spam does not guarantee you rapid cash and in most cases, companies only pay you a referral fee if someone responds to an ad you post.
• You should not have to pay any fees to apply or for training. At most, a $50 background check is reasonable for some companies.
• No company can guarantee employment. Anyone that says you'll be 100% accepted if you apply is a hoax.
• All of those "featured on TV" work-from-home ads and websites are generally bogus.
So, what is legit?
Sykes Home (formerly called Alpine Access) serves five Fortune 20 companies and they are one of the most trusted and well-regarded in the work-from-home industry.
Sykes Home (https://www.alpineaccess.com) is different and has its own requirements, which I'd make sure you're aware of before you apply. Those include specific requirements about having a physical telephone landline, Internet connections and functioning computer. Pay is usually somewhere between $9 and $12 per hour. Jobs are primarily call center-related, but there are also jobs for analysts as well as I.T. positions. AOL is just one of the many big companies that contracts through Sykes Home.
For a list of other jobs recently posted where you can work from home, CLICK HERE.
Please be aware of the ads on the far right versus the jobs in the middle column. I have not screened these jobs, please have your wits about you.
Please keep in mind that for most of the jobs posted above, wages will not be through the roof which is the case for most work from home jobs. And while there may be no price for convenience, the key is to keep yourself scam-free during your job search.

AT Hiker. We did the similar thing. Tons of research. Made multiple calls. What we saw the first day were people pulling spike heads and fork horns out. Driving 1600 miles one way, our camp determined to shoot the first horns We saw.
With that mentality, I found the steepest and nastiest shit I could and found a 115. Which everybody around was impressed with, one guy from another camp dubbed me "lucky" for shooting that deer. So take that into consideration that A 140 class Buck is probably a real trophy there

STERLING, Va. (WUSA) --- Sunday night, a man discovered someone in his van with a knife who demanded money but after an interesting turn of events, no money was ever taken, say Loudoun County authorities.
Sunday at approximately 9 p.m., a man leaving a store in the Cedar Lake Plaza went to get his van. When he got there, he found someone inside brandishing a knife. The person demanded money and then told the man to drive to an area near Augusta Drive.
Police say at some point the man got out of the van and reached for his cell phone. The would-be robber then fled without taking any money.
Police continue to investigate the incident.

How To Setup A Trailer For TowingWritten by on August 24, 2009 Get Your Load On...and keep it on.
One of the questions we seem to receive frequently is one asking about setting up a car trailer for use, and how to properly load it. Let's face it, there are times when driving your car to a particular location just isn't as feasible as throwing it on a trailer (I know, driving it is much more fun, but sometimes, you just gotta haul it). Anyway, since we get this question a lot, we decided to shed some light on the subject.
Lucky for me, this gave me the perfect excuse to go buy a trailer for myself. "Yes dear, it's for work so I HAVE to buy it". Anyway, before you plunk down your hard earned cash, there are a few things you need to think about. The first, and this an important one, how much weight can your vehicle SAFELY tow? To find out what the maximum towing weight of your vehicle is, check the owner's manual. If you can't find it in there, you can ask your local dealer, or do an online search. Once you have determined the maximum load your vehicle can safely tow, deduct the trailer's weight from this figure. Example: Our 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab has a rated towing-capacity of approximately 9,100 pounds. This is the amount of towed payload the truck can theoretically haul with a particular trailer. So, if you get a trailer weighing 1,500 pounds, the load you can theoretically put on the trailer is no more than 7,600 pounds. The actual number will also be limited by the weight rating of the trailer. We found that the average weight rating of an open trailer is usually around 7,500 pounds. When determining the capacity of the tow vehicle you plan to use to pull your trailer, don't just think about its ability to pull the trailer, you also need to eventually stop at some point. (If the trailer and payload weigh more than the vehicle, it will be harder to stop.) Most full-size pickups can come optioned from the dealer with a Class IV trailer hitch that is rated for up to 10,000 lbs.
Tongue weight is also a much overlooked part of trailer hauling that needs to be addressed. A safe tongue weight is usually considered to be 10 percent of the hitch's total rated-capacity. This isn't the rating of the ball on the hitch, but the hitch rating itself. A ball is rated by its towing capacity. A hitch is rated by not only its towing capacity but also by the tongue weight. If you are only using a bumper-mounted type hitch, don't even think of towing anything your wife can't lift onto the ball by herself.
Another mistake we often see is people pulling a loaded car trailer without any trailer brakes being used. This is not a very bright idea. Let me be clearer about this--these people are idiots. There is no excuse for pulling a trailer that does not have the brakes connected to the tow vehicle. Any trailer with a capacity of over 3,000 pounds should have a mandatory, functioning brake system of its own. If you are not sure about hooking an electronic brake system to your vehicle, then the trailer you ultimately decide to purchase should have what is called surge brakes.
There have always been questions about the legality of the use of surge brake systems. DOT regulations specify that trailers with brakes must be fitted with an actuator that allows the tow-vehicle driver to operate the trailer brakes independent of the tow vehicle brakes. In other words, he must be able to actuate the trailer's brakes without stepping on the tow vehicle brake pedal. Surge brakes do not offer this feature. They work using the deceleration force present as the tow vehicle stops. When the driver applies the tow vehicle brakes, the surge brake coupler's internal master cylinder compresses against the coupler body--much like your brake pedal against the master cylinder of your car when you stop it. Unfortunately, there's no way for the driver to independently apply the trailer brakes in case of emergency. Until April of 2008, surge brakes were technically illegal to use. But that was a "technicality" that was overlooked for decades. Surge brakes are still fairly popular, and probably will continue to be for years into the future.
It's the 21st Century, and trailer brakes have come a long way. How many of you guys reading this remember hacking into the brake line of your tow vehicle, and splicing in a fluid line for your trailer brakes? Now, it's all controlled by electronics. There are two types of electronic brake controllers that you need learn about to know what will work best for you. The first type we'll talk about is proportional brake controllers. With this style of controller, once the brake pedal is stepped on, a motion sensing device in the controller knows how fast or hard the tow vehicle is applying the brakes. It then applies power to the trailer brakes equally as fast (or slow) as the towing vehicle. This allows the trailer to stop at the same rate as the tow vehicle. Therefore, in an extreme stopping situation where the vehicle brakes are slammed on, a proportional controller will immediately send the maximum preset power to the trailer brakes.
This type of brake controller provides the smoothest and quickest braking while also providing the least amount of wear on both the vehicle and trailer's brakes. Proportional controllers are activated by the brake pedal switch in the tow vehicle. When properly adjusted the trailer will decelerate at the same rate as the tow vehicle, increasing braking efficiency and reducing brake wear.
The next electronic system we'll look at is a timed-delay controller. With time delayed trailer brake controllers, when the tow vehicles brakes are applied, the pre-determined amount of power--preset by the user--is sent back to the trailer brakes. On time delayed controllers, a delay always exists from when the brake pedal is pushed to when the unit reaches the user set, maximum power output. The delay can be shortened or lengthened with the sync switch, available on most time delayed controllers, but it behaves the same way for every stop (slow or fast). If the sync switch is set too low, the vehicle will do most of the initial braking, putting extra strain on the vehicle's brakes. If the sync switch is set too high, the trailer will be braking harder. So in most cases, either the truck or the trailer will be doing the majority of the braking, resulting in uneven brake wear.
Whichever electronic brake controller you choose, for the brakes to work, the trailer must be connected to a tow vehicle equipped with an electric brake controller. Unlike surge brakes on a trailer, electric brakes are not independent of the tow vehicle. When you step on the brake pedal in the tow vehicle, the controller receives a signal from the brake light switch that the brake has been applied. This causes the controller to switch higher current power to the trailer brake. The degree to which the trailer brake is applied is determined by the adjustments the driver makes to the controller.
Hitches for towing come in many different styles, you can have 'tag-along styles which consist of a trailer hook up behind the frame, or a fifth wheel or goose neck style where the trailer connects to the truck via a hitch system on top of the frame in the bed of the truck. For most of, a tag along style will be used, so that's what we'll focus on.
Tag along hitches come in classes ranging from Class 1 to Class 5. Class I hitches can be used to tow a trailer with a gross trailer weight (GTW) of 2,000 pounds, and a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. Class II hitches will safely tow up to 3,500 pounds and handle 300 pounds of tongue weight. Class III hitches can pull up to 5,000 pounds of trailer weight with 500 pounds of tongue weight. Classes IV and V are considered to be heavy duty trailer hitches. A class IV hitch will handle up to 5 tons of trailer weight and a trailer tongue of 1,000 pounds. Class V hitches accommodate weights over 5 tons.
Tag along hitches come in two styles, a weight carrying hitch and weight distributing hitch. If you intend to tow fairly light loads (under 5,000 pounds total), then you will probably only need a weight carrying hitch. This is a simple hitch that fastens your trailer directly to the tow vehicle and carries the load itself directly behind the vehicle. While this system works fine, you may consider steeping up to a weight distributing hitch. A weight distributing hitch is one that uses sidebars (load levelers), to redistribute the weight from the rear axle of the tow vehicle towards the front. A weight distributing hitch is used to carry heavy loads and will help stabilize the trailer when being towed, and should be considered mandatory when hauling anything over 5,000 pounds total tow weight.
When deciding on a hitch class and style, don't forget to consider the ball size as well. Hitch balls come in three sizes; 1-7/8 inch, 2-inch, and 2-5/16 inch. While a larger ball generally means that it can handle more weight being fastened to it, hauling capacity is actually determined by the hitch class. However, trailer balls are classified by the dimensions on the different parts of the ball itself. First, there's the diameter of the ball itself (the distance around the center of the ball). Also to consider is the shank's (Threaded portion) diameter, the shank's length, and the size of the circular piece of metal between the ball and shank. The most common ball size is 2 inches, but heavy-duty industrial trailer balls can go up to 2-5/16 inch. The diameter of your ball mount's hole in the receiver of the hitch mount must be no more than 1/16-inch greater than the ball shank diameter in order to fit. The necessary shank length is determined by the thickness of your ball mount platform - you don't want to get a ball whose shank is so small you can't lock the nut in place. You'll also need to make sure that you buy a ball to properly fit into your coupler on the trailer.
Once you finally have the proper trailer for your needs purchased, what's the proper way to put your load on it? The way you load the trailer can determine how easy you can tow it. While loading, keep in mind that the tongue weight should be approximately 10 to 15percent of the total loaded trailer-weight. One of the main causes of trailer sway is not having enough trailer tongue-weight as compared to gross trailer weight. To help prevent the trailer from swaying back and forth, a few things can be done. Try moving the car forward on the trailer. Trailer sway can also lead to a loss of vehicle control. When starting out with a car on a trailer, make sure the trailer will not sway by gradually increasing your speed in intervals until highway speed is reached.
If you have too much tongue weight (load too far forward), you will notice problems with the steering--and this is a bad thing. Think of it this way, if you have too much tongue weight, the rear of the tow vehicle is pushed down. If the rear of the tow vehicle is pushed down, what does that do to the front of it--your steering wheels are leaving the ground and you can't steer.
When you position your car on the trailer begin by making sure that the car's weight is close to being evenly distributed over the trailer's axles. If your car is too far forward on the trailer, you'll have too much tongue weight, see above paragraph. Similarly, if the car's weight is positioned too far back on the trailer, you won't have enough tongue weight, again see paragraph above.
Once the vehicle is safely onboard, you can put your car in gear. Make sure to secure the car from both the front and rear, with your tie downs pulling in opposite directions. This keeps the vehicle from rolling forward and backward on the trailer. If both ties are pulling in the same direction, you've got a problem and will need to reevaluate your system. Make sure to connect to good, solid mounting points on both the car and the trailer, and stop to check everything once you've gone 10-15 miles. We try to attach the tie downs to the FRAME of the car. If you attach the tie downs to the suspension, or the axles, the suspension on the car can still "work". Think of it like this, if your car's suspension is working, it is basically bouncing on the trailer. If you tie the car down using point ABOVE the suspension, the force of tying the car down will inhibit the suspension from bouncing.
Speaking of tying the car down, don't plan on using small 1-inch ratchet ties like those you can purchase at a swap meet. The most common straps that people use for a car trailer are rated for at least 2,500 pounds of breaking strength. So, theoretically, if you use two straps for each end of the car--and you should--hat gives you 5,000 pounds of breaking strength. Is that enough? Let's look at it this way, if you tie your car down using a 30 degrees-from-vertical angle, you'll effectively have only 75 percent of the strap's rated value. Now, if most people use two straps at each end of the car, which gives a rating of 5,000 pounds, don't forget that the adjusted value is only 3,750 pounds due to the strap angle. Now let's say that the average weight of a vehicle is 3,000 pounds. This may sound like you still have a lot of extra strap strength, but in a crash, it is easy to pull 2 or 3 G's in an impact. So if we take just 2 times the weight of your 3,000 pound car (2 G's), that is 6,000 pounds. Your 2,500 pound rated straps have just broken and your car is now flying towards the front of the trailer--and you. In other words, making sure your straps will support the load during BAD conditions is a must. An easy formula to remember when choosing straps is this; choose a strap with a single-strap breaking-strength rating of at least 2 or 3 times the weight of your car that you are hauling.
Now that we've gotten the basics out of the way, where do you go to get the stuff you need to outfit your new trailer? We found a company that has been around for as long as we can remember, and we're almost positive that every car enthusiast has purchased at least one part from them in their lifetime. J.C. Whitney (www.jcwhitney.com) has long been a supplier of anything automotive, and when we found out that they have everything we needed to outfit our trailer at reasonable prices, we decided to check it out.

The first thing we needed to do was to get a trailer. We had a choice when looking, between a trailer with a rating of 7,500 pounds or 9,000 pounds. Even with a C-Body on our trailer, a 7,500 pound rating would be plenty.Of the two choices of hitches you can use, the cheapest and easiest one to use is the simple weight carrying hitch. This hitch doesn't use any load leveler bars or sway control.If you're carrying a heavier load, or even just want some added control of your trailer, getting a weight distributing hitch is a very good upgrade. While looking at www.jcwhitney.com, we found this 1,000 pound distributing system manufactured by Curt Manufacturing. Like we said before, a load distribution hitch provides better control of your vehicle and trailer by applying leverage across the trailer tongue and tow vehicle. This even distribution allows for a more stable ride and better control for braking and steering.The first thing you need to do is to make sure you have the height of the adjustable ball mount proper for your application. Following the instructions sent with the hitch assembly is straightforward.An optional item that you may wish to check into getting is a sway control. This one shown is what's known as a friction style.The unit actually clamps around a flat bar that mounts from the tow vehicle hitch assembly to the trailer tongue, and prevents the trailer from swaying.At some point, you will wish you had a winch on the front of your trailer. Let's face it, having a trailer means you will be hauling cars that are broke down, whether they be yours or not. The winch we got from www.jcwhitney.com is from Mile Marker, and it's definitely heavy duty with an 8,000 pound pull rating.The first thing you'll need to do is mount your winch. Since our trailer is long enough and has a solid floor, we mounted it right to the bed of the trailer. Now, just because you have a solid floor doesn't mean that it's strong enough to support pulling a load. In our case, the floor is
When you get a trailer, you'll also need to get tie down straps, and hitching supplies. So, you might as well have a place to keep them.A tool box like this one from Delta is large enough to hold all the accessories you will need for your trailer, including the previously mentioned battery. Simply bolt it to the tongue, and you're done.To run the winch, an Optima yellow top battery (www.optima.com) was chosen because of its deep cycle capabilities. Here you can see we have already run the winch connections through grommets in the back of the tool box.If you are utilizing a winch and battery, you now have to figure out how you'll charge it. You can either charge it before each use with a portable battery charger, or wire it so that the alternator of the tow vehicle charges it each time it's hooked up. If you choose the latter, most 7-pin trailer connections have a fused hot-lead coming from the truck--it should be the very center pin in the connector. Connect the red wire coming from the trailer plug's center pin, to the positive side of the battery. A good idea is to also at least wire a fuse into the system as well. The negative battery terminal will also need connected to something and since our trailer connector had a ground wire going directly to the trailer frame, that's where we connected the trailer's battery ground.Once you have your trailer outfitted, how do you properly position your load? Positioning your car too far forward makes the front of the truck light, and steering becomes unsafe. Too much weight near the rear of the trailer, and your loaded trailer will sway dangerously while going down the road.As a rule of thumb, place the front of the car slightly ahead of the trailers axles, so to SLIGHTLY lower the rear of the tow vehicle below its normal ride-level. This is a trial and error game until you learn what your trailer and tow vehicle like.When it comes to actually strapping the car to the trailer, there are varying opinions. One person might say to strap the car by its axles. On the other hand, some say to fasten the car by strapping down the body. We choose the later scenario. By strapping the body down, the car's suspension is unable to "work", and this prevents the car from having more "leverage" as it's hauled. Look at it like this; if you allow the suspension of the car AND the trailer to work, it not only allows the car to possibly bounce around on the trailer, but it can add an extra instance of centrifugal force to a given situation.You also want to make sure that your tie down straps are of sufficient rating. Remember, the tie downs strength will be tested the hardest during a bad situation. Why wait until then to find out your straps are not strong enough. You can buy a cheap 2,000 pound rated strap, that might be sufficient, or you can spend a couple extra bucks for a higher rated strap, and know for sure. We personally got 4, 6,000 pound straps--we should be fine.What's Back There
Many a tail gate has been damaged by backing into the tongue of a trailer. Short of having a buddy back there to guide you in, what's a guy to do? Thanks to modern technology, simply install an inexpensive, economical camera and you're good to go. We got our hands on a new Roadmax system (www.roadmaxgear.com). The Roadmax not only has the back up camera feature, but it's GPS enabled as well. So, after your camera screen guides you in, it can then take you to where you need to go.
