It's A 1-Derful World
As everyone is well aware, today is 11/11/11. This marks the only time in our lifetimes that the date will be represented with six ones across the board, and — of course! — anomalous occurrences should be celebrated.
Within Minor League Baseball there is an established precedent for numerically-inclined (and often absurdly intricate) date-related promotions, so this morning I monitored my Twitter and Facebook feeds with an unwavering sense of purpose. And Minor League Baseball, once again, did not disappoint. Some highlights of my searching:
— The South Bend Silver Hawks offered fans a package, in which 11 tickets could be obtained for $11 between 11 and 11:11 a.m. Later, the team reported to me via Twitter that 24 of these packages (a total of 264 tickets) were sold.
— Perhaps inspired by the Silver Hawks, the Gwinnett Braves made the exact same offer at the last minute. "FANS- this just in- 11 tickets for $11!! You have until 11:11 AM to call in!" read the post on the team's Facebook page.
— In Asheville, the Tourists offered a deal that was good for all of one minute. At 11:11, all hats and t-shirts were available for $11.11 at the team's "Tourist Trap" store (five hardy but certainly not tardy souls took them up on it).
— Somewhat similarly, the Daytona Cubs offered a 2011 team hat for $11 all day. And with the purchase of said hat, fans received a coupon good for $5 off a new 2012 logo hat. (As you may recall, the D-Cubs recently unveiled a new logo).
Finally, in State College (where nothing else of note is going on), the Spikes amply demonstrated their Facebook power. At 11:11, the team posted the following:
'LIKE' THIS POST FOR A CHANCE TO WIN! We need 111 people to LIKE this post!
If our goal is reached by 5 p.m. then we will randomly select one of the participants as the winner of TWO FREE SPIKES TICKETS and a MICHAEL ROBINSON SIGNED BALL (former Penn State QB and current NFL player). Happy 11/11/11!
As of this writing (2:30 EST), a whopping 164 people have already clicked the like button on the above missive. Impressive!
As I am writing this, 11:11 has yet to arrive on the West Coast. However, I have not come across any PST teams doing anything similar. Is this time zone disdainful of detail-oriented numerical promotions? Say it ain't so!
And look at that! It ain't so! At 11:11, the Fresno Grizzlies announced the following: For one day only, on Friday November 11, fans can get 11 Field Box vouchers for just $11 each (normally $16), as well as $11 in Grizzlies Bucks for FREE – that's a $187 value for just $121!
Clearly, Minor League Baseball is #1.
In news of a non-sequitur nature, did you know that mascots have the power to create earthquakes?
What a load of bull.
Passing the Time in the Absence of Our Pastime
Yesterday's post served as this year's Halloween content clearinghouse, but as usual a few things slipped through the cracks. And when something falls through the cracks, it's best to save it from such a nefarious fate by belatedly bringing it back into the light.
That's a convoluted way of saying that I stumbled across a ridiculous photo I wanted to share. It was taken at the State College Spikes Spookfest and features mascot Ike the Spike idly observing a werewolf being wheeled on a stretcher by a witch who appears to have Frankenstein in a headlock.
Just another day in the Minor Leagues.
Further PA-based Halloween content has emerged from Reading, as the R-Phils have announced the winners of this year's pumpkin carving contest. This is a seriously impressive triumvirate of illuminated gourds:
But would you expect anything less from the Reading faithful? This is a fan base that has proven carving abilities.
At any rate, November is probably the slowest month when it comes to Minor League Baseball news. (December has the Winter Meetings, at least, and once the new year hits there is an abundance of info related to the upcoming season.) But we all get through it together, and there are many productive ways to pass the time.
For starters, Visalia Rawhide broadcaster Donny Baarns has launched a new podcast called "Candid Voices," in which he "chats with the best sports broadcasters about their careers, their stories, and anything else they feel like talking about." The first episode's guest is Mariners broadcaster/veteran TV writer Ken Levine, and can be heard HERE.
Meanwhile, the always exemplary Great Lakes Loons blog "From the Nest" has a post called "25 Ways to Keep Baseball In-Season This Offseason."
Lots of great stuff is contained therein, and the post follows a template that can (and should) be copied by other Minor League teams. Check it out.
A more "inside baseball" (so to speak) offseason perspective can be found over at gameops.com, as always astute industry veteran Scott Carter's has filed a column featuring a veritable treasure trove of ways that teams can engage with fans when there are no games being played. This is required reading for those seeking to understand how and why teams need to function as interactive year-round entities.
And then, of course, there are videos. Always, there are videos. Some of them have malevolent undertones….
while others mine humor out of mascot misfortune.
And finally there's our old pal Ike the Spike, who apparently snapped out of his werewolf-observing reverie long enough to lead a "Thriller" flash mob. Check it out HERE.
As always, thanks for checking this blog out. Your patronage helps to validate my professional existence.
Everything Old Is New Again
Those words, spoken so hauntingly by the Twin Peaks Giant (click the link!), have been echoing through my mind recently. Several seemingly unique events that have taken place this week that in fact have precedent in the not-too-distant past. Let's take a look:
A rather amusing story came out of Toledo today, involving the almost-but-not-quite theft of one of the bronze statues located behind the Fifth Third Field scoreboard. Here are the statues in question, photographed during my trip to Toledo this past June.
But, as the Toledo Blade reports, on Sunday night the girl in pigtails on the far left was reported stolen:
Mud Hens employee Ken Westenkirchner called the police and filed a theft report. The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, which manages the city's public art, prepared for a media blitz to publicize the heist and bring the perpetrators to justice….
What Mud Hens officials and the arts commission did not know, however, was that the little girl in pigtails was safely stowed in a police property room. In the early morning hours of Saturday, two Toledo police officers discovered the statue about 20 yards from its original location. They booked it into a property room for safekeeping, according to their report…..
Apparently, nobody bothered to tell the Mud Hens or the art commission.
Later in the article, Toledo police speculate why the statue was removed in the first place.
Detective Tonya Rider said the bolts that anchored the statue to the sidewalk had been damaged. "I don't know if it was a prank, if it got too heavy to carry," she said. "I don't know what the circumstances were. Maybe it was a case of buyer's remorse."
This saga comes on the heels of the near-tragedy that befell the Greensboro Grasshoppers last month, when the statue of iconic dog mascot Miss Babe Ruth went missing. Here's a picture of the statue, in happier times.
Three days after the theft, Greensboro police caught the culprit and returned the statue (damaged paws and all) to NewBridge Bank Park. Seeking to make lemonade out of this thoroughly sour situation, the team then auctioned off the returned statue on eBay. The winning bid was $1025, with the proceeds donated to the Greensboro Police Department's Canine Unit.
Moving on the inanimate to that which is imbued with life, it is also worth noting that this has been a fertile week for player performances of the National Anthem. A YouTube of Charlotte catcher Adam Ricks playing the anthem on his guitar was featured in Tuesday's post, and yesterday Altoona pitcher Phil Irwin belted it out at at Blair County Ballpark. Check it out on the team's Facebook page.
A more random and unexpected instance of history repeating itself can be found in State College, which recently had its second comical base-stealing managerial ejection in as many years. It would be near impossible to top the original, when Spikes manager Gary Robinson autographed first base and awarded it to a young fan.
Fast forward nearly one year later — to yesterday. This time the ejected manager was Leo Gomez of the visiting Aberdeen IronBirds, who uprooted third base and walked across the diamond with it before unceremoniously tossing it aside. Spikes first baseman Alex Dickerson then played groundskeeper, jovially returning the base to its intended location. Check it out HERE.
Finally, there's Jerry "The King" Lawler, a wrestling icon who has become a regular on the Minor League Baseball appearance circuit. When he last appeared on this blog he was knocking out a cauliflower, but his current adversary seems to be anyone with the gall to steal a crown from a perpetually smiling fast food mascot. This one comes courtesy of the Frederick Keys:
Thank goodness for conveniently placed concourse folding chairs. I don't know what Jerry would do without them.
Up Close and Purr-sonal in State College
"Bark in the Park" nights — in which fans are invited to bring their dogs to the stadium — have long been a promotional staple in Minor League Baseball. The State College Spikes are one of many teams to have staged such an endeavor, with next month's version expected to draw over 400 canines.
This success led the team to ask themselves a truly daring, and seemingly absurd, question: "What if we did 'Bark in the Park', but for cats?"
What resulted was "Purr in the Park," an evening-long celebration of felines.
Given their innate anti-social tendencies and general aloofness, the Spikes knew going in that "Purr in the Park" was not going to reach the proportions of its barking counterpart. The final cat attendance total was a modest, but still respectable, 12.The cats were granted entry so long as they were on a leash or in a carrier, and were welcome throughout the concourse as well as the right field seating area.
Cats were the focal point of the in-game entertainment, of course. The scoreboard graphics all had a feline theme:
Another apropos "Simpsons" character would have been the "Crazy Cat Lady," who surely would have enjoyed the team's meow-centric version of the "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
The night also included the "Nine Lives Challenge", in which two hearty combatants participated in challenges such as the "Warm Milk Chug" and the "Kitty Litter Dig." I particularly enjoyed watching the "Warm Milk Chug," as the loser in the contest is escorted off the field by a sympathetic gorilla.
But as the Spikes pointed out in their press release, not even "Purr in the Park" could keep canines out of the ballpark: Not only are the Batavia MuckDOGS the Spikes' opponent on the field, but fans can feast on $1 hot dogs all game long as part of Dollar Dog Monday.
But the Spikes weren't about to let the Muckdogs steal the spotlight — not on this night! The Spikes scored two in the seventh and three in the eighth before Justin Bencsko homered in the ninth, propelling the home team to a thrilling 7-6 victory.
It was victory by a whisker; anything less would have been cat-astrophic.
Go West, Young(ish) Blogger
The title of today's post is more than just a belabored play on an already mangled and misattributed quotation. It is also my way of telling you that I'm on the cusp of 2011's first road trip!
Motivated by wanderlust and an unbeatable rental car deal, I'll be checking out the new-for-2011 Tucson Padres before moving on to a quartet of California League teams. The itinerary:
May 11-12: Tucson Padres
May 13: Writing/Travel Day (although who knows? Maybe I'll be able to get to a ballpark by nightfall).
May 15: High Desert Mavericks
May 16: Inland Empire 66ers
May 17: Lake Elsinore Storm
I'm psyched to be making my first California sojourn as a so-called professional, and to once again get behind the wheel of a car after yet another prolonged stint of NYC public transit emasculation. Now comes the part of the post where I earnestly implore YOU to please get in touch with suggestions as to who to talk to, where to visit, what foods to try, etc. I of course have some ideas of what to write about, but as usual much is to be determined. Your feedback is much appreciated.
In particular, let me know if you have any interesting California League stories/memories. It seems like surreal things happen out there on a regular basis.
And driving a car again will no doubt lead to profound sticker shock at the pumps, something I mercifully don't have to deal with on a daily basis here in NYC. But two teams are doing their part to ease the burden: the State College Spikes and Charlotte Stone Crabs. From the former:
From May 9th through May 20th, the Spikes will provide fans a chance to save at the pump when they take advantage of any one of seven ticket offerings. Highlighting the "Spikes Fuel Perks" ticket promotion, any fan that purchases new season tickets will earn a $100 gas card per seat bought!
Throughout the Stone Crabs season, fans will have the opportunity to purchase two reserved seats to any Stone Crabs game, along with two hot dogs, and two sodas for only $26. In addition to the ticket package, fans will receive a complimentary $5 gas card from RaceTrac convenience stores, while supplies last.
In completely unrelated news, I received the following email yesterday from Lowell Spinners groundskeeper Jeff Paolino:
I am reaching out to you to see if there is any way to find out if there are any other Military members who are currently Active or Reserve other than myself working in Minor League Baseball? Reason being, I would like to get a group initiative together throughout MILB as representatives of both baseball and the Military.
This seems like a worthwhile endeavor, but I was unable to assist. So if you fit the above criteria (or know someone who does) then contact Jeff at firstname.lastname@example.com And spread the word!
And, finally, congratulations to Pawtucket Red Sox announcer Dan Hoard — the new radio voice of the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals.
Enjoy your weekend! For the next two days, it'll be all we've got!
Riding the Emotional Rollercoaster
Okay, it's the season now. I have the same feeling as when I returned my favorite Pixar film to the video store: I can't keep Up!
But I'm going to try my best, disregarding any adverse consequences to mental, physical, and spiritual health. I mean, who needs those things anyway?
Mrs. Violet Smith serves as an appropriate counterbalance to this sort of fatalistic sentiment. Last night, she celebrated her 109th birthday by throwing out a first pitch for the Great Lakes Loons.
According to my records, this is the first centenarian first pitch in Minor League Baseball since the Round Rock Express welcomed 102-year-old Chris Nocera in April of 2009.
And while we're on the topic of Golden Girls, it is well-worth pointing out that the Bowie Baysox are staging a Tribute to Betty White on April 16 (complete with Florence Dusty's Muffin Eating Contest in honor of her recent appearance on Saturday Night Live).
The Baysox players are in complete and total support of this promotion, especially Betty White "spitting image" Xavier Avery.
Another team that is truly on top of its game when it comes to videos are the State College Spikes, who have just released a truly excellent preview of their 2011 promotions. This is the very definition of taking pride in your product — if you're not excited then who else is going to be?
The Spikes have also recently produced one of the funniest mascot videos I've ever seen ("You have not done one push-up yet!").
Another humorous video of recent vintage comes courtesy of the Inland Empire 66ers, who are proud to able to "Teach Fans How To Snuggie." Or, more accurately, "Teaching Them How To Fleece Blanket With Sleeves." Click HERE to check it out on Facebook.
I keep delaying a quite-substantial food post that I've been planning, but in honor of the weekend here's a pic of the Lake Elsinore Storm's new "Filthy McNasty."
The team explains that This unbelievably big burger, which could feed four comfortably, is a two-pound burger stuffed with two hot dogs, bacon and cheese. It is then smothered in chili and topped with crispy onion straws.
But for now, the Storm have more pressing matters to attend to. Just hitting the wires is news regarding their upcoming "Sheen-Co De Mayo" night. According to the Associated Press, The promotion upset the Inland Empire Council of the League of United Latin American Citizens. Its president, Joe Olague, tells the Riverside Press-Enterprise it diminishes a significant day in Hispanic history.
The news never stops, I tell you. Never.
So you might as well get in touch with more. I don't plan on living until 109 anyway.
This Was No April Fools. This Was For Real.
"News" of dubious validity has been making the rounds today, not a surprise given that it is the first day of April. But what I am about to present to you is gloriously, hilariously real:
On July 11, the State College Spikes will be holding the first-ever "Purr In the Park" promotion.
"Purr in the Park" is, of course, a new twist on the canine-friendly "Bark in the Park" promotions that have spread like wildfire throughout the Minors. But dogs are generally obedient and social creatures. Cats, on the other hand…not so much. How this all turns out of course remains to be seen, but Spikes GM Jason Dambach seems confident that it'll go off without a hitch. Or, more accurately, with one. He writes that all cats will need to be "leashed or in a portable carrier" and that there will be "cat-related promotions throughout the night" as well as tributes to the likes of Morris, Garfield, Heathcliff, and the black cat from Sabrina, the Teenage Witch ("Salem!", as I was just reminded via email).
I'm hoping that Will Feral will also be moved to make an appearance. Regardless, I will make it my duty to follow this phenomenal feline story as it evolves.
— But for now, a personal anecdote: I've had some friends from Sweden staying with me this week, and this morning they shared a popular April Fool's mantra from their country. It goes "April April Din Dumma Sill, Jag Kan Lura Dig Vart Jag Vill."
This translates to "April April You Stupid Herring. I Can Fool You Whenever I Want."
Less than five minutes after learning this hilarious couplet, the following bit of news appeared out of Memphis:
This morning a 7'2″ pitcher from Sweden, Sloof Lirpa, signed a season-long contract with the Memphis Redbirds.
The 24-year-old pitched four perfect games while playing in the Sverige Baseball League, leading the league in strikeouts, innings pitched and maintaining an ERA under 1.00 all of last year.
Loek Van Mil was unavailable for comment.
Another team guilty of a suspiciously-timed announcement are the suddenly ubiquitous Akron Aeros, who unveiled the news that "Homer the Polka-Dotted Pigeon" will be their new mascot:
This one might actually be true, as the Aeros had fans vote on the bird's name throughout the week via an online fan poll. And this is an industry that has created Rally Pickles, Anthropomorphic Biscuits, and a DeerBanana, so is a polka-dot pigeon really that much of a stretch?
Minor League Baseball: Making stupid herrings of us all.
Video Voluminosity
It's early Friday afternoon as I type this, a time in which my readership is likely to be particularly wary of too many words. Who wants to be burdened with the onerous task of reading when the weekend is so near?
So let's go to the videos! I've come across quite a few over the past several days, and would love nothing more than to share them with you, the world-weary word-wary reader:
The State College Spikes have been innovators in the field of mystery-themed promotions, making GM Jason Dambach's total lack of deductive reasoning skills all the more surprising.
I love videos like that: set-up, punchline, and done in under a minute. Or done in under 30 seconds, in the case of the Tennessee Smokies. This one features a guy who really knows how to make an impression.
And the brevity continues, this time courtesy of the Charleston RiverDogs. Yesterday, the team released their own version of "Cannibal, the Movie". This one is not for the faint of heart:
The mascot angst continues in Omaha, where Stormy the would-be Storm Chaser has suffered yet another indignity.
Similar feelings of rejection have recently been felt by Wilmington's Rocky the Blue Moose, who has had difficulty updating his look:
I'll close things out with what is only a somewhat gratuitous video. The Baseball Project's excellent second album was released last week, and I highly recommend picking it up. The combination of accomplished rock n roll chops and literate, passionate baseball writing is truly something to behold. Here's the band playing on Letterman around the time their first album was released:

The following sequence may serve as a guide to the design of truss bridges:
ŌĆó Select span and general proportions of the bridge, including a tentative cross section.
ŌĆó Design the roadway or deck, including stringers and floorbeams.
ŌĆó Design upper and lower lateral systems.
ŌĆó Design portals and sway frames.
ŌĆó Design posts and hangers that carry little stress or loads that can be computed without a┬Ācomplete stress analysis of the entire truss.
ŌĆó Compute preliminary moments, shears, and stresses in the truss members.
ŌĆó Design the upper-chord members, starting with the most heavily stressed member.
ŌĆó Design the lower-chord members.
ŌĆó Design the web members.
ŌĆó Recalculate the dead load of the truss and compute final moments and stresses in truss┬Āmembers.
ŌĆó Design joints, connections, and details.
ŌĆó Compute dead-load and live-load deflections.
ŌĆó Check secondary stresses in members carrying direct loads and loads due to wind.
ŌĆó Review design for structural integrity, esthetics, erection, and future maintenance and inspection┬Ārequirements.
Analysis for Vertical Loads
Determination of member forces using conventional analysis based on frictionless joints is┬Āoften adequate when the following conditions are met:
1. The plane of each truss of a bridge, the planes through the top chords, and the planes┬Āthrough the bottom chords are fully triangulated.
2. The working lines of intersecting truss members meet at a point.
3. Cross frames and other bracing prevent significant distortions of the box shape formed┬Āby the planes of the truss described above.
4. Lateral and other bracing members are not cambered; i.e., their lengths are based on the┬Āfinal dead-load position of the truss.
5. Primary members are cambered by making them either short or long by amounts equal┬Āto, and opposite in sign to, the axial compression or extension, respectively, resulting┬Āfrom dead-load stress. Camber for trusses can be considered as a correction for dead-load┬Ādeflection. (If the original design provided excess vertical clearance and the engineers did┬Ānot object to the sag, then trusses could be constructed without camber. Most people,┬Āhowever, object to sag in bridges.) The cambering of the members results in the truss┬Ābeing out of vertical alignment until all the dead loads are applied to the structure (geometric┬Ācondition).
When the preceding conditions are met and are rigorously modeled, three-dimensional┬Ācomputer analysis yields about the same dead-load axial forces in the members as the conventional┬Āpin-connected analogy and small secondary moments resulting from the self-weight┬Ābending of the member. Application of loads other than those constituting the geometric┬Ācondition, such as live load and wind, will result in sag due to stressing of both primary and┬Āsecondary members in the truss.
Rigorous three-dimensional analysis has shown that virtually all the bracing members┬Āparticipate in live-load stresses. As a result, total stresses in the primary members are reduced┬Ābelow those calculated by the conventional two-dimensional pin-connected truss analogy.
Since trusses are usually used on relatively long-span structures, the dead-load stress constitutes┬Āa very large part of the total stress in many of the truss members. Hence, the savings┬Āfrom use of three-dimensional analysis of the live-load effects will usually be relatively small.
This holds particularly for through trusses where the eccentricity of the live load, and, therefore,┬Āforces distributed in the truss by torsion are smaller than for deck trusses.
The largest secondary stresses are those due to moments produced in the members by the┬Āresistance of the joints to rotation. Thus, the secondary stresses in a pin-connected truss are┬Ātheoretically less significant than those in a truss with mechanically fastened or welded joints.
In practice, however, pinned joints always offer frictional resistance to rotation, even when┬Ānew. If pin-connected joints freeze because of dirt, or rust, secondary stresses might become┬Āhigher than those in a truss with rigid connections. Three-dimensional analysis will however,┬Āquantify secondary stresses, if joints and framing of members are accurately modeled. If the┬Āsecondary stress exceeds 4 ksi for tension members or 3 ksi for compression members, both┬Āthe AASHTO SLD and LFD Specifications require that excess be treated as a primary stress.
The AASHTO LRFD Specifications take a different approach including:
ŌĆó A requirement to detail the truss so as to make secondary force effects as small as practical.
ŌĆó A requirement to include the bending caused by member self-weight, as well as moments┬Āresulting from eccentricities of joint or working lines.
ŌĆó Relief from including both secondary force effects from joint rotation and floorbeam deflection┬Āif the component being designed is more than ten times as long as it is wide in┬Āthe plane of bending.
When the working lines through the centroids of intersecting members do not intersect┬Āat the joint, or where sway frames and portals are eliminated for economic or esthetic purposes,┬Āthe state of bending in the truss members, as well as the rigidity of the entire system,┬Āshould be evaluated by a more rigorous analysis than the conventional.
The attachment of floorbeams to truss verticals produces out-of-plane stresses, which┬Āshould be investigated in highway bridges and must be accounted for in railroad bridges,┬Ādue to the relatively heavier live load in that type of bridge. An analysis of a frame composed┬Āof a floorbeam and all the truss members present in the cross section containing the floor┬Ābeam is usually adequate to quantify this effect.
Deflection of trusses occurs whenever there are changes in length of the truss members.
These changes may be due to strains resulting from loads on the truss, temperature variations,┬Āor fabrication effects or errors. Methods of computing deflections are similar in all three┬Ācases. Prior to the introduction of computers, calculation of deflections in trusses was a┬Ālaborious procedure and was usually determined by energy or virtual work methods or by┬Āgraphical or semigraphical methods, such as the Williot-Mohr diagram. With the widespread┬Āavailability of matrix structural analysis packages, the calculation of deflections and analysis┬Āof indeterminant trusses are speedily executed.
(See also Arts. 3.30, 3.31, and 3.34 to 3.39).
Analysis for Wind Loads
The areas of trusses exposed to wind normal to their longitudinal axis are computed by┬Āmultiplying widths of members as seen in elevation by the lengths center to center of intersections.
The overlapping areas at intersections are assumed to provide enough surplus to┬Āallow for the added areas of gussets. The AREMA Manual specifies that for railway bridges┬Āthis truss area be multiplied by the number of trusses, on the assumption that the wind strikes┬Āeach truss fully (except where the leeward trusses are shielded by the floor system). The┬ĀAASHTO Specifications require that the area of the trusses and floor as seen in elevation be┬Āmultiplied by a wind pressure that accounts for 11Ōüä2 times this area being loaded by wind.
The area of the floor should be taken as that seen in elevation, including stringers, deck,┬Ārailing, and railing pickets.
AREMA specifies that when there is no live load on the structure, the wind pressure
should be taken as at least 50 psf, which is equivalent to a wind velocity of about 125 mph.┬ĀWhen live load is on the structure, reduced wind pressures are specified for the trusses plus┬Āfull wind load on the live load: 30 psf on the bridge, which is equivalent to a 97-mph wind,┬Āand 300 lb per lin ft on the live load on one track applied 8 ft above the top of rail.
AASHTO SLD Specifications require a wind pressure on the structure of 75 psf. Total┬Āforce, lb per lin ft, in the plane of the windward chords should be taken as at least 300 and┬Āin the plane of the leeward chords, at least 150. When live load is on the structure, these┬Āwind pressures can be reduced 70% and combined with a wind force of 100 lb per lin ft on┬Āthe live load applied 6 ft above the roadway. The AASHTO LFD Specifications do not┬Āexpressly address wind loads, so the SLD Specifications pertain by default.
Article 3.8 of the AASHTO LRFD Specifications establish wind loads consistent with┬Āthe format and presentation currently used in meteorology. Wind pressures are related to a┬Ābase wind velocity, VB, of 100 mph as common in past specifications. If no better information┬Āis available, the wind velocity at 30 ft above the ground, V30, may be taken as equal to the┬Ābase wind, VB. The height of 30 ft was selected to exclude ground effects in open terrain.
Alternatively, the base wind speed may be taken from Basic Wind Speed Charts available┬Āin the literature, or site specific wind surveys may be used to establish V30.
At heights above 30 ft, the design wind velocity, VDZ, mph, on a structure at a height, Z,┬Āft, may be calculated based on characteristic meteorology quantities related to the terrain┬Āover which the winds approach as follows. Select the friction velocity, V0, and friction length,┬ĀZ0, from Table 13.1 Then calculate the velocity from
If V30 is taken equal to the base wind velocity, VB, then V30 /VB is taken as unity. The┬Ācorrection for structure elevation included in Eq. 13.1, which is based on current meteorological┬Ādata, replaces the 1Ōüä7 power rule used in the past.
For design, Table 13.2 gives the base pressure, PB, ksf, acting on various structural components┬Āfor a base wind velocity of 100 mph. The ┬Ādesign wind pressure, PD, ksf, for the┬Ādesign wind velocity, VDZ, mph, is calculated from
Additionally, minimum design wind pressures, comparable to those in the AASHTO SLD┬ĀSpecification, are given in the LRFD Specifications.
AASHTO Specifications also require that wind pressure be applied to vehicular live load.
Wind Analysis. Wind analysis is typically carried out with the aid of computers with a┬Āspace truss and some frame members as a model. It is helpful, and instructive, to employ a┬Āsimplified, noncomputer method of analysis to compare with the computer solution to expose┬Āmajor modeling errors that are possible with space models. Such a simplified method is┬Āpresented in the following.
Idealized Wind-Stress Analysis of a through Truss with Inclined End Posts. The wind┬Āloads computed as indicated above are applied as concentrated loads at the panel points.
A through truss with parallel chords may be considered as having reactions to the top┬Ālateral bracing system only at the main portals. The effect of intermediate sway frames,┬Ātherefore, is ignored. The analysis is applied to the bracing and to the truss members.
The lateral bracing members in each panel are designed for the maximum shear in the┬Āpanel resulting from treating the wind load as a moving load; that is, as many panels are┬Āloaded as necessary to produce maximum shear in that panel. In design of the top-chord┬Ābracing members, the wind load, without live load, usually governs. The span for top-chord┬Ābracing is from hip joint to hip joint. For the bottom-chord members, the reduced wind┬Āpressure usually governs because of the considerable additional force that usually results┬Āfrom wind on the live load.
For large trusses, wind stress in the trusses should be computed for both the maximum┬Āwind pressure without live load and for the reduced wind pressure with live load and full┬Āwind on the live load. Because wind on the live load introduces an effect of ŌĆśŌĆśtransfer,ŌĆÖŌĆÖ as ┬Ādescribed later, the following discussion is for the more general case of a truss with the┬Āreduced wind pressure on the structure and with wind on the live load applied 8 ft above┬Āthe top of rail, or 6 ft above the deck.
The effect of wind on the trusses may be considered to consist of three additive parts:
ŌĆó Chord stresses in the fully loaded top and bottom lateral trusses.
ŌĆó Horizontal component, which is a uniform force of tension in one truss bottom chord┬Āand compression in the other bottom chord, resulting from transfer of the top lateral end┬Āreactions down the end portals. This may be taken as the top lateral end reaction times┬Āthe horizontal distance from the hip joint to the point of contraflexure divided by the┬Āspacing between main trusses. It is often conservatively assumed that this point of contraflexure┬Āis at the end of span, and, thus, the top lateral end reaction is multiplied by the┬Āpanel length, divided by the spacing between main trusses. Note that this convenient assumption┬Ādoes not apply to the design of portals themselves.
ŌĆó Transfer stresses created by the moment of wind on the live load and wind on the floor.
This moment is taken about the plane of the bottom lateral system. The wind force on live┬Āload and wind force on the floor in a panel length is multiplied by the height of application┬Āabove the bracing plane and divided by the distance center to center of trusses to arrive┬Āat a total vertical panel load. This load is applied downward at each panel point of the┬Āleeward truss and upward at each panel point of the windward truss. The resulting stresses┬Āin the main vertical trusses are then computed.
The total wind stress in any main truss member is arrived at by adding all three effects:
chord stresses in the lateral systems, horizontal component, and transfer stresses.
Although this discussion applies to a parallel-┬Āchord truss, the same method may be┬Āapplied with only slight error to a truss with┬Ācurved top chord by considering the top┬Āchord to lie in a horizontal plane between hip┬Ājoints, as shown in Fig. 13.5. The nature of ┬Āthis error will be described in the following.
Wind Stress Analysis of Curved-Chord Cantilever Truss. The additional effects that should┬Ābe considered in curved-chord trusses are those of the vertical components of the inclined┬Ābracing members. These effects may be illustrated by the behavior of a typical cantilever┬Ābridge, several panels of which are shown in Fig. 13.6.
As transverse forces are applied to the curved top lateral system, the transverse shear┬Ācreates stresses in the top lateral bracing members. The longitudinal and vertical components┬Āof these bracing stresses create wind stresses in the top chords and other members of the┬Āmain trusses. The effects of these numerous components of the lateral members may be┬Ādetermined by the following simple method:
ŌĆó Apply the lateral panel loads to the horizontal projection of the top-chord lateral system┬Āand compute all horizontal components of the chord stresses. The stresses in the inclined┬Āchords may readily be computed from these horizontal components.
ŌĆó Determine at every point of slope change in the top chord all the vertical forces acting on┬Āthe point from both bracing diagonals and bracing chords. Compute the truss stresses in┬Āthe vertical main trusses from those forces.
ŌĆó The final truss stresses are the sum of the two contributions above and also of any transfer┬Āstress, and of any horizontal component delivered by the portals to the bottom chords.
Computer Determination of Wind Stresses
For computer analysis, the structural model is a three-dimensional framework composed of┬Āall the load-carrying members. Floorbeams are included if they are part of the bracing system┬Āor are essential for the stability of the structural model.┬ĀAll wind-load concentrations are applied to the framework at braced points. Because the┬Āwind loads on the floor system and on the live load do not lie in a plane of bracing, these┬Āloads must be ŌĆśŌĆśtransferredŌĆÖŌĆÖ to a plane of bracing. The accompanying vertical required for┬Āequilibrium also should be applied to the framework.
Inasmuch as significant wind moments are produced in open-framed portal members of┬Āthe truss, flexural rigidity of the main-truss members in the portal is essential for stability.
Unless the other framework members are released for moment, the computer analysis will┬Āreport small moments in most members of the truss.
With cantilever trusses, it is a common practice to analyze the suspended span by itself┬Āand then apply the reactions to a second analysis of the anchor and cantilever arms.
Some consideration of the rotational stiffness of piers about their vertical axis is warranted┬Āfor those piers that support bearings that are fixed against longitudinal translation. Such piers┬Āwill be subjected to a moment resulting from the longitudinal forces induced by lateral loads.
If the stiffness (or flexibility) of the piers is not taken into account, the sense and magnitude┬Āof chord forces may be incorrectly determined.
Wind-Induced Vibration of Truss Members
When a steady wind passes by an obstruction, the pressure gradient along the obstruction┬Ācauses eddies or vortices to form in the wind stream. These occur at stagnation points located┬Āon opposite sides of the obstruction. As a vortex grows, it eventually reaches a size that┬Ācannot be tolerated by the wind stream and is torn loose and carried along in the wind┬Āstream. The vortex at the opposite stagnation point then grows until it is shed. The result is┬Āa pattern of essentially equally spaced (for small distances downwind of the obstruction) and┬Āalternating vortices called the ŌĆśŌĆśVortex StreetŌĆÖŌĆÖ or ŌĆśŌĆśvon Karman Trail.ŌĆÖŌĆÖ This vortex street is┬Āindicative of a pulsating periodic pressure change applied to the obstruction. The frequency┬Āof the vortex shedding and, hence, the frequency of the pulsating pressure, is given by
where V is the wind speed, fps, D is a characteristic dimension, ft, and S is the Strouhal┬Ānumber, the ratio of velocity of vibration of the obstruction to the wind velocity (Table 13.3).
When the obstruction is a member of a truss, self-exciting oscillations of the member in┬Āthe direction perpendicular to the wind stream may result when the frequency of vortex┬Āshedding coincides with a natural frequency of the member. Thus, determination of the┬Ātorsional frequency and bending frequency in the plane perpendicular to the wind and substitution┬Āof those frequencies into Eq. (13.3) leads to an estimate of wind speeds at which┬Āresonance may occur. Such vibration has led to fatigue cracking of some truss and arch┬Āmembers, particularly cable hangers and I-shaped members. The preceding proposed use of┬ĀEq. (13.3) is oriented toward guiding designers in providing sufficient stiffness to reasonably
preclude vibrations. It does not directly compute the amplitude of vibration and, hence, it┬Ādoes not directly lead to determination of vibratory stresses. Solutions for amplitude are┬Āavailable in the literature. See, for example, M. Paz, ŌĆśŌĆśStructural Dynamics Theory and┬ĀComputation,ŌĆÖŌĆÖ Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York; R. J. Melosh and H. A. Smith, ŌĆśŌĆśNew┬ĀFormulation for Vibration Analysis,ŌĆÖŌĆÖ ASCE Journal of Engineering Mechanics, vol. 115, no.┬Ā3, March 1989.
C. C. Ulstrup, in ŌĆśŌĆśNatural Frequencies of Axially Loaded Bridge Members,ŌĆÖŌĆÖ ASCE Journal┬Āof the Structural Division, 1978, proposed the following approximate formula for estimating┬Ābending and torsional frequencies for members whose shear center and centroid┬Ācoincide:
In design of a truss member, the frequency of vortex shedding for the section is set equal┬Āto the bending and torsional frequency and the resulting equation is solved for the wind┬Āspeed V. This is the wind speed at which resonance occurs. The design should be such that┬ĀV exceeds by a reasonable margin the velocity at which the wind is expected to occur┬Āuniformly.

Epithelial biologyGene regulatory control of epidermal homeostasisEpithelial oncogenesisTissue models of human malignancyDescription of Research:The Ridky Lab uses genetically-defined, engineered epithelial tissues as an experimental platform to study pathways driving human cancer initiation, stromal invasion, tumor-stroma interaction, metastasis, and maintenance of cancer stem cells. Tissue models of invasive malignancy are used to identify and validate new targets for potential therapeutics. To maximize the physiologic and medical relevance of our efforts, we develop experimental human tissue systems based on normal primary human cells established within an architecturally faithful native 3-D environment incorporating intact mesenchymal stroma and living stromal cells. Progression to cancer is driven by genetic changes initially identified in spontaneous tumors in humans and specifically engineered into the model tissues. Many experiments are conducted entirely in this organotypic environment, while in vivo studies utilize immunodeficient mice as hosts for the engineered tissues. These new models allow up to 10 alleles or more to be altered simultaneously in 1-2 days, permitting genetic experiments with an unprecedented degree of rapidity and complexity exceeding that previously possible in traditional genetic experimental organisms, such as transgenic mice. These new genetic models, which we refer to as "Multifunctional Human Tissue Genetics", have allowed us to directly convert multiple normal human tissues into invasive cancer via targeted, specific alterations in defined, medically-relevant genetic networks. Bioinformatics-intensive systems biology approaches are used to identify centrally-acting elements that are likely important for promoting cancer progression. To determine functional roles for specific tumor cell or stromal cell-intrinsic factors, we employ various genetic and protein level interventions, including multiplexed expression of tumor-associated mutant oncogenic drivers, tumor suppressors, and conditionally active proteins. Disruption of primary oncogenic signaling and non-oncogene addicted (NOA) pathways is achieved via RNA interference (RNAi), as well as chemical small molecule inhibitors and protein based biologic agents as a foundation for development of targeted molecular therapeutics.Lab Personnel:Andrew McNeal - Research SpecialistEmily Schapira - UPenn (2013)Kevin Liu - UPenn (2013)Vihang Nakhate - UPenn (2014)Seung Ja Oh - Postdoctoral fellowLab Web Page:http://www.med.upenn.edu/ridkylab/

Skip to comments.Gun sale surge driven by fear, Obama says
Posted on 01/15/2013 4:29:06 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
click here to read article
He's right.
It is fear.
Fear of what he may do next!
I went to my local gun shop today and saw that all the ARs were sold and even the older version Mini 14 I sold them a year ago—that was there 2 weeks ago finally got sold.
> Gun sale surge driven by fear, Obama says
It is NOT fear, you narcissistic tyrant.
It is DEFIANCE!
Fears may be well-founded.
It's almost as if nobody is actually listening to what he says, anyway, so he says the most outrageous, contradictory things. At least no-one in the media is calling him on it, and his followers don't notice the fallacies.
Dictators can be scary people. Even though Obama looks like a smirking faggot and putz of a man, it's the weak and puny minded little farts who abuse power when they get it, and Obama, like Hitler, is as punkish as they come, though not as intelligent.
I was just in WalMart, Pismo Beach, CA- out of ammo due to high demand. .22LR, .30 .30, 45ACP and .38SPL.
Let me see; "folks" that shouldn't have them . . would that be "Tea Party" "folks" and Conservative "folks"? Certainly not "Occupy" "folks"! Up is down. Down is up. Good is bad. Bad is good. - It IS scary.
Thanks Travis, I've been seeing and admiring your graphics.
Of course we are.
"Obama said he would unveil details of his "sensible, common-sense" program for tighter gun controls"
Notice that they call it a program and not a proposal. The President can only propose laws, he has no authority to make laws himself, so anything proper that he comes up with should at most be a proposal, to be submitted to Congress. The fact that they are calling it a "program" is admitting right there that what he is planning is unconstitutional.
Someone tried to tell me today that he was going to do this through Executive Orders, and read something from wikipedia that says EOs are binding laws. Well, I replied that I don't give a darn what wikipedia, or the Supreme Court says about it, there is no authority in the Constitution for the President to make laws. If he tries to do that, I will consider them unconstitutional and feel free to disobey them at my discretion with no worries of conscience.
We are not supposed to notice those things. Such as noticing that shooting someone in California has less consequences then shooting someone in Texas.
Typical libs. I'm visitng my parents and dad had in on CNN (I know) and that Brit idiot Morgan came on and it was a "gun" special.
In the first 5 minutes they laid out some of the proposed ideas by the administration and the guest (some idiot mayor, Dem) actually said, "while these ideas won't stop gun crime or violence, they are sensible".
HUH? Orwell was a prophet.
Thanks, glad you like them, forward or copy them to your "moderate" friends and family.....it's meme warfare.
You cannot defeat perfect utopian thinking with facts or logic.
It IS meme warfare... all we can do is turn the statehouses redder and redder since we lost national vote integrity.
Not by fear, asshole.
Should the federal government regulate guns of any type?
Yes, it should 20,366(23%)
No, it should not 64,655(76%)
Should Congress ban semi-automatic weapons?
Yes, it should 14,875(17%)
No, it should not 70,496(82%)
If Congress does not act, should President Obama use an executive order to ban or strictly control the sale of semi-automatic weapons?
Yes, he should 12,764(14%)
No, he should not 72,559(85%)
Do you agree that the Second Amendment gives citizens the right to own and bear guns without infringement?
Yes, I agree 73,634(86%)
No, I don't agree 11,755(13%)
Four to one against little bammy... .
You got that right, doofus.
Fear that the wannabe tinpot african muslim dictator will finish going through the Bill of Rights and cancelling them all untouched by Congress, the Law, the Supreme Court and supported by his perceived mandate by the mob of fraudulent voters.
I love how they don't want to take away my guns. Well, except for AR-15s. But that doesn't count.
Have you read Uninteded Consequences?
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Obama's gun control efforts are driven by fear.
He's projecting the hysteria of his small anti-American, anti-Second-Amendment constituency on his enemies: Americans.
Possibly if he could read, but my guess is that he was an "affirmative action" graduate under the "everyone gets a trophy" program.
I'm angry and disgusted, not afraid.
...and that fear caused by statists like Obama is driving people to gun shops looking for a little bit of insurance.
Mr. President, you are mistaken. It's not fear, it's resolve.
Facts and logic cannot get a person out of a position that facts and logic did not get them into.
You know rational thinking is lacking when Pravda, Russias communist political newspaper, makes sense. In a recent article, Stanislav Mishin writes that after the Bolsheviks seized Moscow in 1917, they promised to leave alone the well-armed citizens if they did not interfere. They did not and for that were asked afterwards, writes Mishin, to come register themselves and their weapons, whereupon they were promptly shot.
From Cal Thomas: [ he doesn't always resonate with me], but his column today was good.
Have you read Uninteded Consequences?
Not yet, but it's on my list.

More lift questions :)
So I'm about a month away on pulling the trigger on my lift kit. I'm going with the OME springs and Bilstien shocks. I don't know if I want the MD or HD shocks but I'll figure that out later (I like some input on that). But besides bigger rims, tires, and an alignment is there anything else that I need to buy, or look out for? Thanks
Re: More lift questions :)
and when you go with bigger tires, be aware depending on your wheel backspacing, you may need wheel spacers if staying with the stock wheel.. and doing the pinch weld wouldnt hurt either to avoid rubbing in the wells at full lock and compression..
IMO though, If you are paying 300 for OME springs(front and rear).. unless you already have bilsteins in your possession, you are gonna pay 300 for bilsteins all around as well(front and rear)
I would suggest paying 750 for the full OME lift. Springs, Struts and Shocks.. if you are dropping 600 or so.. drop an extra 100 on full OME.. its the best overall package for lifts if you have the cash.. on and off road. ask around...
Re: More lift questions :)
See my Jeep is a 2wd and Im not doing any rock crawling in it. It will get off road, to hit some hunting trails, get to some fising spots and photoshoots, but for the most part I just want it for looks, ground clearance and, bigger wheels. I origanly was going to do the BDS spacers, but I dont want to lose my ride quality. With that being said, what other kits are available that may not cost as much as the OME? I looked up rocky road, and rustys, but I havent seen any user reviews on those products. Im looking for at lease at 2inch lift.
Re: More lift questions :)
Re: More lift questions :)
if i were you and you have high mileage on your rig i would look into replacing the coil spring isolators, and while in there any other worn suspension components. maybe check your UCAs. check out rockauto for those parts. may make it easier on yourself by assembling the whole front strut assembly- new strut plate, etc before throwing it in there to save time.
Re: More lift questions :)
If you have a 2 wd then I personally wouldn't spend the $ on the full OME kit. Don't get me wrong, its a great kit but if you just want the look without loosing ride quality, then I would go with Rocky Road Outfitters BB and Bilstein HD all around. That will basically give you the same height as the OME HD and allow you to go up to 285/70/17 if you want to.
Re: More lift questions :)
Re: More lift questions :)
quick question, would these be the proper rear spring isolators?
MOOG Part # K160059
avilable through rockauto for about $7. I'll need 2 correct?

Lenovo announces the affordable VIBE K5 and K5 Plus smartphones at MWC 2016
Sub-$200 smartphones used to be plasticky, cheap-feeling and just downright bad. Luckily that's not the case anymore. There are some really great budget-friendly Android smartphones on the market nowadays, and the line between low-end and mid-tier is fading rapidly. Lenovo has just announced two new smartphones at MWC 2016 that aim to perfectly combine affordability and user friendliness.
The Lenovo VIBE K5 and VIBE K5 Plus are the newest devices to come from the Chinese smartphone manufacturer. For the most part, both devices share the same specifications — 5.0-inch LCD displays, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board storage, microSD expansion, and removable 2750mAh batteries. As you may have guessed, the K5 Plus has slightly beefier specs. It has a Full HD display (compared to the K5's 720p screen), and a Snapdragon 616 processor, as an alternative to the K5's Snapdragon 415. Both devices come with 13MP rear cameras, 5MP front cameras, 4G LTE connectivity and dual SIM card slots.
They're both running Android 5.1 Lollipop as well, which is unfortunate. Google released Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the masses way back in October 2015, so it's really too bad that Lenovo has neglected to give its users the latest version of Android. Lenovo says they've also pre-loaded the devices with some productivity and social apps like SHAREit, SNAPit and Guvera Music.
Both new devices come with dual rear-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos on board, which should be able to bring users good sound quality without the need for headphones.

Hyper-threading allows software written with multiple threads to run those threads on one processor simultaneously. It is designed to provide performance close to that of a dual-processor machine from a single processor.
Intel said hyper-threading should boost performance by 25% both in consumer and business applications. In a demonstration at the confenece Intel showed the performance gap between a system equipped with a normal 3.06GHz chip and one equipped with hyper-threading. The demonstration appeared to show improvements running macros in Microsoft Excel, scanning for viruses and playing digital video on the machine with hyper-threading, compared with the standard configuration.
Intel said it will use its performance boosting hyper-threading technology in desktop processors, starting with a 3.06GHz Pentium 4 processor due out in the fourth quarter of this year.

2007 Ford Crown Victoria LX 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
This is the third Crown Vic I have owned. I ran the first to 141K and the second to 176K. I have put 14K on this one to date. While the ride on this one is a bit stiff, it is compensated by excellent handling. My wife just says, "It's fun to drive." On a recent road trip of over 850 miles, I held my speed down to 65 and got 30.6 MPG overall, without air. Now, tell me what other vehile gets that fuel efficiency in the comfort provided by the CV? I understand that Ford is discontinuing the CV for consumer use, so I will probably have to go to the Grand Marquis in 8-10 years when this one needs replacement.
Handling. Trunk space. Fuel economy for such a large car
A nose upgrade - not particularly attractive. (Leave the back end alone - many, many cars out today have been patterned after the CV's derriere.)
This is my first new Crown Vic after four used ones ranging from a 1984 to a 2000. It's a very comfortable car to drive, handles well and has a lot of room. It has the sport package, with console, buckets and leather upholstery; I did have the dealer replace the 17" original rims with 16" so I could use snow tires on it (a must in upstate New York). I couldn't be more pleased; it's incredible that Ford is phasing the car out -- I'd trade for another one in the future if I can find a good, low-mileage one with significantly less mileage than I'll have on this one at the time, but I know Crown Vics can go 200000 miles, so I'm not in any hurry.
The Sport option gives 15 extra hp without any noticeable loss in fuel economy. Handling is very precise.
I wish they'd go back to the pre-2005 instrument display. The tachometer is superfluous in a car with an automatic, and I liked having the oil pressure and ammeter.
We have owned one Ford Crown Vic, then a Mercury Marquis and now another Crown Vic. We find them both to be the same and will always prefer them over other cars. We have looked at many and always come back. The ride and reliability is always great. When travelling we have always found great dealerships to help us out if there is a problem.
Motor, seats and ride.
Back to some chrome for distinction.
The Crown Victoria is a great car. This is the third one that I own and it is just as good as the other two that I had. These cars hardly ever brake down and the only maintenance that's required is regular fluid changes. Crown Victoria is also very comfortable to ride in. It drives as smooth as a boat which it kinda is. The handling has been greatly improved since a few years ago and it has plenty of power.
Interior space, body on frame construction.
Could use a bigger motor because the 4.6 is a bit outdated.
I started out with a 95 Crown Vic, which I bought used. In the 8 or 9 years that I owned it, I never had a break-down or any problems mechanically or otherwise. I also average about 5mpg better than the EPA rating. However I had the opportunity to drive a new one, while my car was getting some bodywork done. And well, old reliable is getting an upgrade. These cars are comfortable, have plenty of power, and corners like they're on rails. There is definitely a reason why all of the police departments depend on them. I could easily drive this for another 10 or more years, but some of the new features, like an available moon roof, and the front bucket seats, have me thinking about upgrading.
Definitely the v-8, It feels like a hot rod. I also like the RWD body-on-frame construction, the front bucket seats, and the sport package.
Fix the taillights on the new models so they look a little less ricer. Also AWD and the trip computer that's available on the Mercury would be nice.

We just received our liner recently for our KIA Sportage and it's a perfect fit and great quality. Now we can put our stroller in the back without soiling the carpeting and all of our things from shopping, etc. With our 60/40 seats, I'm going to take my bike to the shop too now with ease from the protection from the cargo liner. Love it!

The M.POWER Perfect Butt profile scriber is a simple and elegant solution to the age-old problem of accurate profile copying and offsetting. Curved or straight, it gives you a perfect profile, and a perfect butt joint, every time. 5 different wheel sizes are included to ensure profile scriber can cope almost every conceivable profiling situation. It's also the fastest accurate profile scriber in the world, completing traditional scribing chores with precision, speed and ease.
The Perfect Butt includes 5 interchangeable tracing wheels that attach to the shaft assembly. These wheels permit the Perfect Butt to deal with a wide range of situations giving the user options to provide the best solution. The small wheel lets you get into tight and narrow situations, whereas the largest wheel will allow you to profile the widest possible gap where the surfaces has large deviations.
The five wheel diameters are: 11/16" (18 mm), 1-1/8" (29 mm), 2" (50 mm), 2-3/4" (70 mm), and 3-1/2" (90 mm).
The shaft assembly is solid brass and has a knurled finish for extra grip and control. It houses a spring-loaded common scribing pencil, available just about anywhere pencils are sold. At the base of assembly is a freely rotating hub with O-ring seal to which the wheels are attached for tracing. This innovative, high-quality tool is designed, manufactured, and quality controlled in England, and carries a two-year warranty.
