Site manager Jennings Jackson Jr. leads the crew at Berkeley Habitat For Humanity's 27th "build."
He and a number of volunteers are constructing a home in Bonneau for a family living in an overcrowded home.
On Oct. 31 Jackson, a volunteer crew from Alcoa and regular volunteers put up walls and plates.
Other work included interior caulking of 2 x 4 inch studs and the base of the floor.
"We're filling in all the cracks," Jackson said. "The first half of our shingles are up. We probably have 40 more bundles to put up. We're about halfway done with this build project."
"It's about 40 percent funded," Berkeley Habitat Executive Director Bryant Knepp said. "It's about a $75,000 price tag. We're building it as it's funded."
Jackson said the engineered septic tank is a well-designed system. At first the property was flat.
"We had to get if up off the ground to put the system in that would work with the home," Jackson said. "We had to bring in over 100 loads of dirt to get where we are today."
The infrastructure of the build is about 80 percent complete. The floor was about to be sealed and made airtight, thus making working in the rain possible from then on.
"This is my favorite project to do every year," Alcoa volunteer Cheryl Kirkland said. "I'm about to retire, so I can do this on a regular basis.
She has been volunteering for almost 30 years.
"You guys did it," Jackson said to the crew. "We got a lot done today with a small group. That says a lot for your character.
"What we asked for today will be 100 percent completed."
The home is being built for Jacque Wright, a single mother of four who has worked at a bank in Moncks Corner for the last seven years.
"About two years ago I found out about Habitat through a friend," Wright said. "I didn't think I would qualify. They did a credit check. You have to have a stable job."
She bought a 30-year-old mobile home that needed several repairs and planned to move it onto an acre of land she has. The Habitat home will be built there instead.
"A lot needed to be fixed," she said, pointing to plumbing and other problems. "A trailer falls apart like a vehicle."
So far she's put in 350 volunteer hours on her own home every Saturday and at two other Habitat houses. She's volunteered at the Habitat ReStore in Goose Creek.
"That's a really fun place to work," Wright said. "It's all volunteer, so everyone's happy to be working."
She was surprised and excited to find out she qualified so her four children will have a place to call home for their lifetime and won't have to live in a trailer that is constantly being repaired, Wright said.
"We're pretty family-oriented," Wright said.
Her children are 13, 10, 3 and 2. She and her children like to go to events such as the Moncks Corner Halloween celebration and events at Santee Canal Park. "Habitat and my family is what my life revolves around," Wright said.
Although she's almost done with her required volunteer hours, she will continue to work at the site until it's complete.
She said a coworker told her about the opportunity after her co-worker's sister qualified for a Habitat home.
"It takes a little bit of effort for the homeowner," she said. "They want you to go to homeowner's and classes for your home and keep up with it. They want you to get on your feet, provide for yourself.
"You have to give them a monthly mortgage payment for 20 – 25 years. It's interest-free. You have to work for it, put in your hours. The labor is volunteer, so that keeps costs down."

RANGOON—Myint Aung is building a tombstone for Lo Hsing Han, a notorious Burmese crony—dubbed the "godfather of heroin" by the US government—who died earlier this month after decades as a global drug trafficker.
On the day of the funeral on Wednesday, at about 2 pm, Myint Aung and other laborers at a cemetery in Rangoon are busy at work on the tombstone after the ethnic Kokang drug kingpin has been laid to rest in his grave.
"The only thing I knew about him was that he was a rich man from Asia World," Myint Aung says, referring to a conglomerate founded by Lo Hsing Han's son, allegedly as a front for their drug trade business. The conglomerate gave 3,000 kyats (US$3) to the dozen or so workers hired to prepare the tombstone, Myint Aung adds.
Lo Hsing Han died of heart failure at his home in Rangoon on July 6, and thousands of people attended his traditional Chinese funeral on Wednesday.
Before driving to the cemetery, dozens of relatives in white clothes gathered at his home, where they walked around his coffin to pray and pay their last respects.
Friends of the family were allowed inside the large Rangoon home but reporters were barred, taking photos when they could along the road and at the cemetery.
One video reporter was grabbed by security when he attempted to film inside the house, while police officers were deployed along the street.
Lo Hsing Han's wife, Zhang Pengshin, was absent at the funeral, reportedly due to an illness. Many of the drug king's children refused to speak with reporters.
Lo Hsing Han was born on Sept. 25, 1935 in Kokang region of Burma's Shan State, an area populated by a Han Chinese ethnic group known as the Kokang.
He became the leader of Kokang home-guard militia in 1962, according to the Shan Herald Agency for News, and later fought against the Communist Party of Burma (CPB). He and his family had a close relationship with Burma's former military junta.
Hao Xao Chan, a lawmaker from the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), attended the funeral.
"He was my teacher," said the Upper House lawmaker. "I was very sad for his death. I took one day off from Parliament to come here because I wanted to show my condolences."
A 50-year-old man from Lashio Township, Shan State, said, "About 300 members of our cultural organization from Lashio came here. We wanted the family to know we're mourning."
A woman from China's Yunnan Province also attended. "He had a good mind and was rich, but he was No. 4 on the world's 'most wanted' list," she said.
Lo Hsing Han amassed a fortune in the early 1970s during the Burmese military regime as a leading figure in Burma's notoriously rampant drug trade. His narcotics empire included lucrative opium production in Kokang.
He was arrested by Thai authorities and extradited to Burma after crossing into northern Thailand in 1973, during a period in which he went underground and teamed up with the Shan State Army, an ethnic Shan rebel group. He was later freed, in 1980, in a general amnesty.
Following his release, Lo Hsing Han returned to Lashio, where he built up a new militia force under a government-backed paramilitary force.
He and his son Steven Law were put on the US sanctions lists in February 2008, along with their companies Asia World, Asia World Port Management, Asia World Industries Ltd and Asia World Light Ltd.
For decades, Lo Hsing Han was considered one of the world's biggest traffickers of heroin and was slapped with financial sanctions for allegedly helping prop up Burma's brutal former military junta through illegal business dealings.
He is survived by a wife, four sons, four daughters and 16 grandchildren.
These Chinese or half-Chinese thugs, crooks and drug war-lords are the ones that really rule Burma and look how thousands of people gave him a hero's funeral. Even Ne Win who actually made him rich, didn't get such a pompous funeral. What a strange country!
Kalar = bad, evil, ugly but Tayoke = good, noble, handsome. Such simple ethnic profiling.
A strange country alright. Strange in the sense of being clueless what to value. I wonder who are those that attended his funeral. Probably people wanting favor from his clan.
If there is a more evil substance than heroin, I cannot think of what it is. Perhaps there are even more addictive substances (e.g. crack, methamphetamines and alcohol to name some possibilities), but I doubt those substances have the tragic consequences that heroin does.
In the Burmese saying, 'if you hand eaten a morsel of too, you're indebted for that kindness'. How is it the not many from the military are absent? I guess they observers the other saying, 'twenty-five for the minister's wife funeral, five for the minister's'. The times, they must be changing. They all must be glad that the drug community in Asia does not follow the code like the Mafia. Who'll be the next Kokang Don?
Dreams of King Pasenadi of Kosala
No. 15. "I saw a village crow, a vile creature with all the ten vices,* attended by an entourage of Mallard ducks, beautiful birds with feathers of golden sheen." "In the reign of weakling rulers there will be some who know nothing about governing. They will be fools and cowards who understand neither battle nor the art of leadership. Fearing that they may be deposed in a revolt or revolution, they will elevate even their servants, bath-attendants, barbers, and the like [that is, loyal but shockingly unqualified people] to positions of power. These rulers will ignore the real administrators. Cut off from favor and unable to support themselves, the real administrators will be reduced to kissing up like sycophants to the upstart rulers, as when the crow had regal Mallard ducks for a retinue. "
Lo Hsing han is the Burma national hero after G-aung san to prevent from the communist ruling in Burma. The root cause of Lo Hsing han's rising in Burma is due to Bama military government's support, particularly than shwe and khin nyunt who also suggested and advised Lo Hsing han for cultivation of opium for the world most poorest country, Burma in the aspect of opium profit sharing each others.
Bama (claimed brown complexion by themselves) is descended from India, kalar ( darker complexion) but Kalar lay is not the derogatory meaning except andamanonge. Chinese descended Burmese ethnics are fair complexion generally so they are also so called Tayyoke as it is not easy to be differentiated among them (pure Chinese and ethnic Chinese).
All ethnics and minority in Burma ( Kalar and Tayoke ) are not strange except U nu, Ne win, than shwe and Khin Nyunt for the rising of Lo Hsing han. Kalar lay were helping Burma for shit or wast collectors for Rangoon by British colony. later, some kalars in Burma were and are dumped by British colony, Ne win and than shwe.
Chinese nationalist army conquered Japanese occupation for Burma freedom ( later Burma independence) in crucial battle in Myitkyina, requested by allied force-UK and US. Later , Chinese nationalist army was defeated by Chinese communist army (PLA) from the financially and economically dumping by US upon requested. Allied force finally had to help Chinese nationalist army when Korea war broke out after world war 2 in the fear of cruel Chinese communist spread or influence by killer Chairman Moa ( killed 70 millions of own Chinese in history).
From the rapid and significant success of Chinese communist ruling in China, orchestrated by Chinese paramount leader Tang shui pang, Burma should be ruled by Burmese communist instead of U nu, ne win and than shwe. Then, Lo Hsing han can not be Burma national hero, saver from Burmese communist ruling in Burma.
basically nothing changes in Burma, the cronies are still the major players, only difference is can the foreigners enter the market equally

La Discrète aims to be something more than a light source—hidden within its design is the clear desire to be highly useful while retaining the decorative beauty of a well made object. Perfect for use as a desk lamp or to highlight treasured items, its configuration is simple yet forceful, and contains a character we wish to preserve in the Marset line: of something time will prove to be of a superior and essential quality. This fixture comes with an incorporated switch for ease of use, and the wooden base, far from being employed as a fashion element, harks back to origins much more related to pieces of furniture. La Discrète can also be converted into a back-lit, wall-mounted shelf. 4" Extension if utilized as a Wall Fixture.

As more Republican politicians announce their presidential aspirations and seek to curry favor with the party's right wing, the Right continues to question their credentials. This week, The Weekly Standard carries more accusations that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at one time took a moderate position on abortion and gay rights. (Romney is still working on his right-wing bona fides: He's hired long-time religious-right attorney James Bopp.) And when former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee announced on Sunday that he was forming an exploratory committee, anti-tax group Club for Growth was ready on Monday with a report questioning Huckabee's commitment to "limited-government, pro-growth, free-enterprise policies."
Huckabee is no stranger to the Religious Right. He's a prominent advocate of teaching creationism in public schools, and along with fellow candidates Romney, Sam Brownback, and Newt Gingrich, Huckabee spoke at the Family Research Council's "Values Voter Summit" last September, exhorting the crowd to be more positive but failing to set much of an example, saying of same-sex marriage, "Until Moses comes down from Brokeback Mountain with two stone tablets saying we've changed the rules, let's keep it like it is!"
The Club for Growth, an anti-government political action group dominated by Wall Street investors and executives, was the top-spending independent PAC in 2006, but spent most of its money attacking Republicans from the Right, attempting to purge the GOP of supposedly "liberal" politicians. While its efforts made it a number of enemies among other Republicans, the group's willingness to spend millions to topple incumbents in vicious primary battles may have succeeded in establishing the Club as a feared and influential player on the Right. The group's eager attack on Huckabee – who, the Club acknowledges, signed on to many of its pet projects, such as cutting the Arkansas's capital gains tax – is likely to dog the former governor up through the primary, and it may cause some right-wing activists, already inundated with candidates competing for their favor, to look elsewhere.

Hog Wylde
If you asked Black Label Society guitarist/singer Zakk Wylde if he were a beer, what kind would he be, he'd probably heroically spout out the names of some hearty stout or high-octane Indian Pale Ale. Sadly, as evidenced on Black Label Society: The European Invasion Doom Troopin' Live, a two-disc DVD released August 22 by Eagle Rock Entertainment, the very drunk and rambling Wylde turns out to be more Pabst Blue Ribbon than Guinness white trash, cheap, and obnoxiously tasteless. But Wylde doesn't get paid to be clean or to speak in complete sentences. And when the beer-obsessed Wylde finally shuts up and plays, his monstrous chops shine through in every pilsner-soaked arpeggio. Almost as annoying as Ted Nugent but definitely as fashion-challenged, the bearded and flannel-clad Grizzly Adams of metal shreds it up on more than two hours of European concert footage collected on Disc One of the set. Highlights include absolutely ripping performances of "Suicide Messiah" and "Spoke in the Wheel." Disc Two features 50 minutes of choice Wylde double entendres he gushes about the love of the global BLS family, then threatens "fucking dumb-ass fucks in the crowd with a fucking baseball bat." Rock on.

Pope To Keep Title Of 'His Holiness' But Must Lose The Shoes, Ring
Category: Society
/ Feb 26, 2013 1:28PM EDT
Pope Benedict will keep the title of "His Holiness" after he abdicates this week and The Vatican said on Tuesday he will be known as "pope e-meritus." As St. Peter's Square was readied for the Pope's final public appearance before he steps down, some further details of Benedict's existence once his pontificate ends were revealed. "His Holiness Benedict XVI - that name will remain with him," Vati can spokesman Father Thomas Rosica told a news conference. "Emeritus pope or pope emeritus or the Roman Pontiff emeritus. His Holiness Benedict XVI, pope emeritus or Supreme Pontiff emeritus, Roman Pontiff emeritus," he added, before giving details of what Benedict will wear in the future. "He will wear a simple white cassock without the mozzetta, I think it is called, the little cape on top, a simple white cassock. A very important point are the shoes. They will no longer be the red shoes that you have seem him wear but he has chosen to keep brown shoes that were given to him on his recent trip to Mexico in Leon. The city of Leon is noted for beautiful shoes, very comfortable shoes. And when the Pope was asked what he wanted to wear he told he wanted the shoes from Leon in Mexico. So to our friends from Mexico, congratulations," Father Rosica said. On Thursday (February 28) Benedict will become the first pope in some six centuries to resign instead of ruling for life. Given the rarity of the occasion, Vatican officials have had to decide what he will be called, how he will dress and what will happen to the traditional ring. "The fisherman's ring, the beautiful ring that the Pope has worn throughout his pontificate, he will take off that ring and no longer use that," Father Rosica confirmed, adding that the papal ring of office will be destroyed according to Vatican tradition. Benedict will make his final public appearance in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday (February 27) where some 50,000 people and a large number of international media are expected to gather.

Discussion in 'General Bike Related Topics' started by Hayabusa-J.R., Aug 2, 2006.
does anyone know where i can get one i just want it for looks and to add more chrome to the bike.
I was thinking the same thing, get a personal scuba tank off ebay and chrome it.
? just buy a real one, and a chrome cover for it.. and don't hook it up?
....he said....scuba....
Better yet, buy a chrome fire extinguisher. At least that would serve some purpose. Then put a NOZ sticker on it.
It's entirely up to you, but when you're out and about and the other guys ask you to fire up the NOS you're going to get flamed when you tell them, "Oh that's not real, it's fake."
Nothing directed toward you JR, but it reminds me of the guys who put "GT 5.0" emblems on their LX V6 Ford Mustangs. Fake is as fake does.
There are only two things I don't mind being fakely (I know, not a word) enhanced.

You should trade it for an R6 with a 12 O'clock bar and a 70 tooth rear sprocket. Then put the fake NOS bottle on and some R1 stickers to make it faster. You should get one of those things you put inside the muffler to make it sound like you have a turbo too. You would win every bike show and drag race around. Oh yeah, I am 25 and I wouldn't do it either. Have some class and don't be a redneck.
24 here and thats just gay. i really cant stop laughing.

So sell it and save everyone the trouble of laughing at you...jeez...
Alright you guys, lighten up a little...
I see what he's trying to do...
If your gonna make it a show bike with lots of chrome the bottles are just for show, not go...
But it aint gonna be cheap any way you go...
A coupla 2 pound bottles and some braided S.S. line and valves, and connections and so forth is gonna run about $500 bucks plus...
Lotta money for just a gimmick...
But to each his own, go for it...
thank you finally.
I agree you guys need to mellow out he just wants to add some bling to his bike, I think saddle bags on a busa are sad but to each there own so stop bustin his balls
wasn't this what I suggested?
oh, and I'm 29.. and think it's a retarded idea as well.. even for a show only bike.
