The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate how to use ei interface library (C API) for dealing with the Erlang binary term format used in marshaling data between an Erlang node and external port programs.
The reader is also encouraged to read another how to guide by Pete Kazmer that focuses on using OTP framework for building Erlang systems that interface with external programs.
ei offers a simple and convenient interface that makes it possible to communicate with Erlang from virtually any language that can call native C functions.
At the time of this writing there are two foreign function interface (FFI) models available in Erlang:
* In-process port driver. * Out-of-process port program.
The first one is obviously much faster, but is more complicated and has more dangerous impact on stability of the virtual machine - a sloppy implementation can easily crash the emulator. The second approach is slower but offers a guaranteed isolation of port program's crashes from bringing down the emulator. The decision of which interface to use is case-by-case specific, however, unless you are implementing high-performance low-latency components, you will find second approach being adequate in many cases.
In this tutorial we'll illustrate the simplicity of the second approach to build a port program in C.
The earlier releases of Erlang/OTP came with erl_interface library that later evolved into ei (Erlang Interface). The difference between ei and erl_interface is that, in the contrast to erl_interface, ei uses external binary term format directly when sending and receiving terms in communications with an Erlang node, and it can use a given memory buffer without involving dynamic memory. While ei seems to be the preferred method of encoding/decoding terms, most of the help documents provided with Erlang describing how to build port programs still use erl_interface function calls or raw byte-coding methods as examples.
This tutorial demonstrates the use of ei's encoding and decoding functions for marshaling data between an Erlang process and a C program.
In order to focus this tutorial on ei rather than on details of OTP, we'll use only basic Erlang functionality in building the interface process communicating with the C program. The example described in this tutorial will show how to implement functions add(X, Y), multiply(X, Y) and divide(X, Y) that can be called from Erlang and executed in C.
Erlang side
First, we need to define the data marshaling contract between Erlang and C that will request from C to execute functions and receive the result back.
The objective of the port program is to be able to implement the following API:
Erlang -> C C -> Erlang =========== =========== {add, X, Y} -> {ok, Result::integer()} | {error, Reason::atom()} {multiply, X, Y} -> {ok, Result::integer()} | {error, Reason::atom()} {divide, A, B} -> {ok, Result::float()} | {error, Reason::atom()} X = integer() Y = integer() A = integer() | float() B = integer() | float()
Where the add, multiply, and divide instructions perform the corresponding action on the C-side given two arguments.
Let's start with writing an Erlang module responsible for marshaling data to and from the C port program. The module will use erlang:port_command/2 function for asynchronously sending data to the port. Note that the data is encoded to the external binary term format using erlang:term_to_binary/1.
-module(port). % API -export([start/0, start/1, stop/0, add/2, multiply/2, divide/2]). % Internal exports -export([init/1]). start() -> start("./cport"). start(ExtPrg) -> spawn_link(?MODULE, init, [ExtPrg]). stop() -> ?MODULE ! stop. add(X, Y) -> call_port({add, X, Y}). multiply(X, Y) -> call_port({multiply, X, Y}). divide(X, Y) -> call_port({divide, X, Y}). call_port(Msg) -> ?MODULE ! {call, self(), Msg}, receive Result -> Result end. init(ExtPrg) -> register(?MODULE, self()), process_flag(trap_exit, true), Port = open_port({spawn, ExtPrg}, [{packet, 2}, binary, exit_status]), loop(Port). loop(Port) -> receive {call, Caller, Msg} -> io:format("Calling port with ~p~n", [Msg]), erlang:port_command(Port, term_to_binary(Msg)), receive {Port, {data, Data}} -> Caller ! binary_to_term(Data); {Port, {exit_status, Status}} when Status > 128 -> io:format("Port terminated with signal: ~p~n", [Status-128]), exit({port_terminated, Status}); {Port, {exit_status, Status}} -> io:format("Port terminated with status: ~p~n", [Status]), exit({port_terminated, Status}); {'EXIT', Port, Reason} -> exit(Reason) end, loop(Port); stop -> erlang:port_close(Port), exit(normal) end.
C side
The port program that implements the API functions consists of two parts. Part I is the actual loop that decodes data from Erlang, calls the API functions, and encodes the result back to be sent to Erlang. This part uses ei interface library, and is the main focus of this turorial. Part II implements the data marshaling procedures to read and write data from standard input and to standard output.
ei library implements a number of "ei_decode*()" functions. They can be used on the data received from Erlang that is encoded using erlang:term_to_binary/1 function call. The ei_decode_version() function is used to make sure that the incoming term is an external binary representation, and that the version magic number for the erlang binary term format is decoded. The rest of the ei_decode_* functions are used to decode tuple, integer, and double representation of data passed to the C port program.
The result to be sent back to Erlang is encoded using a dynamic buffer of ei_x_buff type. We could've used a static buffer and handled memory management ourselves, but for the sake of this tutorial it's worth showing how the buffer can be managed automatically by using ei_x_* function calls. The output stored in external binary term representation is being initialized using ei_x_new_with_version() call, and ei_x_encode_tuple_header() is used to create a placeholder for the {ok, Result} or {error, Reason} tuple.
#include <ei.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/io.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #define BUF_SIZE 128 typedef char byte; int read_cmd(byte *buf, int *size); int write_cmd(ei_x_buff* x); int read_exact(byte *buf, int len); int write_exact(byte *buf, int len); /*----------------------------------------------------------------- * API functions *----------------------------------------------------------------*/ long add(long a, long b) { return a + b; } long multiply(long a, long b) { return a * b; } double divide(double a, double b) { return a / b; } /*----------------------------------------------------------------- * MAIN *----------------------------------------------------------------*/ int main() { byte* buf; int size = BUF_SIZE; char command[MAXATOMLEN]; int index, version, arity; long a, b, c; double x, y, z; ei_x_buff result; if ((buf = (byte *) malloc(size)) == NULL) return -1; while (read_cmd(buf, &size) > 0) { /* Reset the index, so that ei functions can decode terms from the * beginning of the buffer */ index = 0; /* Ensure that we are receiving the binary term by reading and * stripping the version byte */ if (ei_decode_version(buf, &index, &version)) return 1; /* Our marshalling spec is that we are expecting a tuple {Command, Arg1, Arg2} */ if (ei_decode_tuple_header(buf, &index, &arity)) return 2; if (arity != 3) return 3; if (ei_decode_atom(buf, &index, command)) return 4; /* Prepare the output buffer that will hold {ok, Result} or {error, Reason} */ if (ei_x_new_with_version(&result) || ei_x_encode_tuple_header(&result, 2)) return 5; if (!strcmp("add", command) || !strcmp("multiply", command)) { if (ei_decode_long(buf, &index, &a)) return 6; if (ei_decode_long(buf, &index, &b)) return 7; if (!strcmp("add", command)) c = add(a, b); else c = multiply(a, b); if (ei_x_encode_atom(&result, "ok") || ei_x_encode_long(&result, c)) return 8; } else if (!strcmp("divide", command)) { /* Allow incoming parameters to be integers or floats */ if (!ei_decode_long(buf, &index, &a)) x = a; else if (ei_decode_double(buf, &index, &x)) return 6; if (!ei_decode_long(buf, &index, &b)) y = b; else if (ei_decode_double(buf, &index, &y)) return 7; if (y == 0.0) { if (ei_x_encode_atom(&result, "error") || ei_x_encode_atom(&result, "division_by_zero")) return 8; } else { z = divide(x, y); if (ei_x_encode_atom(&result, "ok") || ei_x_encode_double(&result, z)) return 8; } } else { if (ei_x_encode_atom(&result, "error") || ei_x_encode_atom(&result, "unsupported_command")) return 99; } write_cmd(&result); ei_x_free(&result); } return 0; } /*----------------------------------------------------------------- * Data marshalling functions *----------------------------------------------------------------*/ int read_cmd(byte *buf, int *size) { int len; if (read_exact(buf, 2) != 2) return(-1); len = (buf[0] << 8) | buf[1]; if (len > *size) { buf = (byte *) realloc(buf, len); if (buf == NULL) return -1; *size = len; } return read_exact(buf, len); } int write_cmd(ei_x_buff *buff) { byte li; li = (buff->index >> 8) & 0xff; write_exact(&li, 1); li = buff->index & 0xff; write_exact(&li, 1); return write_exact(buff->buff, buff->index); } int read_exact(byte *buf, int len) { int i, got=0; do { if ((i = read(0, buf+got, len-got)) <= 0) return i; got += i; } while (got<len); return len; } int write_exact(byte *buf, int len) { int i, wrote = 0; do { if ((i = write(1, buf+wrote, len-wrote)) <= 0) return i; wrote += i; } while (wrote<len); return len; }
Data Types
Though in this example we didn't use ei_get_type() function, this function is quite useful when there's a need to determine the type of the next encoded term in the buffer. A question that gets frequently asked is which include file erl_interface.h or ei.h lists the macros that can be used to represent types returned by the ei_get_type() call? These macros are defined in the ei.h header:
#define ERL_SMALL_INTEGER_EXT 'a' #define ERL_INTEGER_EXT 'b' #define ERL_FLOAT_EXT 'c' #define ERL_ATOM_EXT 'd' #define ERL_REFERENCE_EXT 'e' #define ERL_NEW_REFERENCE_EXT 'r' #define ERL_PORT_EXT 'f' #define ERL_PID_EXT 'g' #define ERL_SMALL_TUPLE_EXT 'h' #define ERL_LARGE_TUPLE_EXT 'i' #define ERL_NIL_EXT 'j' #define ERL_STRING_EXT 'k' #define ERL_LIST_EXT 'l' #define ERL_BINARY_EXT 'm' #define ERL_SMALL_BIG_EXT 'n' #define ERL_LARGE_BIG_EXT 'o' #define ERL_NEW_FUN_EXT 'p' #define ERL_FUN_EXT 'u'
The following makefile can be used to build the sample port program and the corresponding Erlang module:
$ cat Makefile ERL_LIB=/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/erl_interface-3.5.5 CFLAGS=-Wall -I/usr/local/include -I$(ERL_LIB)/include LDFLAGS=-L. -L$(ERL_LIB)/lib all: cport port.beam cport: cport.o gcc $(LDFLAGS) $< -lerl_interface -lei -lpthread -o $@ %.o: %.c gcc -g $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -c $< %.beam: %.erl erlc $< clean: rm port.beam cport cport.o
Running example
Running make with the Makefile above will create two files:
cport port.beam
Now, let's start the emulator, and verify that everything works:
$ erl Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.5 [source] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] Eshell V5.5 (abort with ^G) 1> port:start(). <0.35.0> 2> port:add(10,5). Calling port with {add,10,5} {ok,15} 3> port:multiply(3,6). Calling port with {multiply,3,6} {ok,18} 4> port:divide(10,5). Calling port with {divide,10,5} {ok,2.00000} 5> port:divide(10,0). Calling port with {divide,10,0} {error,division_by_zero} 6> port:stop(). stop 7>
As was illustrated in this tutorial ei provides a set of functions for convenient encoding and decoding of the erlang binary term format that can be used in other languages for interfacing with Erlang.

Malware—software written to infect private computers and commit crimes such as fraud and identity theft—has become big business in the cyber underworld. As a result, if you use a computer for web surfing, shopping, banking, email, instant messaging, and gaming without proper protection, you are putting yourself at high risk of being victimized.
By exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems and browsers, malware can sneak malicious Trojan horse programs onto unsecured PCs. Unsuspecting and unprotected users can also download Trojans, thinking they are legitimate game, music player, movie, and greeting card files. Trojans can also lurk in files shared between friends, family, and coworkers using peer-to-peer file sharing networks.
Trojans have traditionally hidden in worms and viruses spread by email, but they're increasingly showing up in instant messages and onPDAs and cell phones. Organized crime rings have devised insidious new ways of delivering Trojans, and consumers must stay informed of the latest tricks. Protection against these multi-faceted attacks requires integrated anti-virus, firewall, and anti-spyware technologies. Below are the top 10 things you need to know to protect yourself against malware and Trojan attacks.
Today, Trojans can be spread by browser drive-bys, where the program is downloaded in the background when you simply surf to a rigged web site. Shell code runs a Trojan that downloads additional payload code over HTTP—various forms of bots, spyware, back doors, and other Trojan programs. Hackers then send phishing emails to lure users to web sites, where unsuspecting victims are tricked into revealing personal information. Hackers can also exploit security weaknesses on sites, and then piggyback their Trojans onto legitimate software to be downloaded by trusting consumers.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking has become a launching pad for viruses. Attackers incorporate spyware, viruses, Trojan horses, and worms into their free downloads. One of the most dangerous features of many P2P programs is the "browse host" feature that allows others to directly connect to your computer and browse through file shares.
P2P can accidentally give access to logins, user IDs and passwords; Quicken files and credit reports; personal information such as letters, chat logs, cookies, and emails; and medical records you accidentally house in accessible folders on your PC. As with email and instant messages, viruses in P2P files are capable of weaving their way through as many users as they can, stealing information and delivering it to cyber criminals who forge identities and commit fraud.
Although hackers never stop developing new tricks to commit fraud and steal identities, consumers can take proactive steps to safeguard their systems. All it takes is a combination of robust security software and a commitment to following basic safety rules.

The budget order is a critical document in calculating tax bills. The order contains the state's certification of the approved budget, the certified net assessed value, the tax rate and the levy for each fund of each taxing unit in a county. The order also gives the total tax rate for each taxing district.
Statewide Reports
County Adjusted Gross Income Tax (CAGIT) Distribution Report. This report shows the distribution of local income tax. CAGIT is distributed to each taxing unit, except schools. Calculation details available HERE.
County Economic Development Income Tax (CEDIT) Distribution Report. This report shows the distribution of local income tax. CEDIT is distributed only to cities, towns, and the county unit. Calculation details available HERE.

As part of the Annual Adjustment process, counties are responsible for submitting a ratio study and uniformity for all classes of property in all townships. The ratio study measures the accuracy and equity of assessments. It is determined by the formula: Assessed Value/Sale Price = Ratio. The assessment ratio for all properties in Indiana is to be 100%.
The accuracy of assessments refers to how close the assessments determined by local assessing officials are to market value-in-use.
On-time property tax billing is a culmination of a year's worth of work of locally elected officials. The process can be separated into two stages: Assessment-to-Budget and Budget-to-Tax billing. Because these two stages are closely tied, delays in any of the steps in these two stages can have an affect on the timing of property tax bills.
These reports show the progress of the county as reported by the county officials. These visual aids illustrate the timeline of the "year in the life of a county official" and show where the county falls in its steps toward on-time tax billing.
The Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) developed summaries to provide taxpayers information about property taxes in their counties. Each county summary provides a property tax breakdown and shows the shift of property tax burden between property classes. Additionally, the summaries break down where each property tax dollar goes, show a comparison of local spending by unit and list recent debt issued by unit. Finally, the summaries reveal how much local spending has changed over a 10-year period and compare it to the rate of inflation.
Summaries represent the best information available to the Department. Because some counties have not provided complete data to the Department, information in the summaries may vary.
2012 to current year Property Tax Summaries are now available on Gateway.

Jane Haist
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Membership in the Tennessee Lady Volunteer Hall of Fame climbed to 71 elite individuals Friday night, as four highly-decorated women, led by legendary coach Pat Summitt, joined the exclusive club during a private induction ceremony at the Hilton Knoxville.
The 12th group of inductees into the Lady Vol Hall of Fame, which includes Jane Haist (track & field), Young-A Yang (golf) and basketball's Michelle Marciniak and Summitt, also will be introduced during an on-field presentation at the Tennessee versus Troy football game at Neyland Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Athletes are eligible for inclusion 10 years after they have graduated from the University, while administrators may be admitted to the Lady Volunteer Hall of Fame five years following their last service to UT. The Lady Vol Hall of Fame selection committee made a recommendation to waive the five-year "last service requirement" for coach Summitt, making her eligible immediately for consideration. That recommendation was approved.
In addressing the inductees, UT Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics said, "This will be a great evening for each and every one of you to celebrate with your friends, family, teammates and those at the University who salute you, literally salute you, for what you've meant to us, what you've meant to the Lady Vol programs that you've represented and more importantly for how you've represented the University of Tennessee."
Indeed it was a great evening, as university and athletics administrators and supporters, UT coaches, fellow Lady Vol Hall of Fame inductees, family and friends showed their appreciation for the inductees' career accomplishments, as highlighted by the evening's emcee, UT Senior Associate Athletics Director/Senior Woman Administrator Donna Thomas.
A member of the track & field team from 1977-79, Jane Haist was one of the pioneer elite-level competitors for the Lady Vols in that sport and helped Tennessee to top-five AIAW Outdoor National finishes of fourth in 1977 and third in 1979. The 1979 graduate with a B.S. in education (physical education) was an All-American in 1977 and 1978, winning an AIAW National Championship in the discus in 1977 with a throw of 188 feet, five inches. Haist also posted a fourth-place outcome in the shot put that season (47-10) and was the 1978 AIAW runner-up in the discus with a mark of 176-3 1/2. During her first season at UT, Haist carded a collegiate record of 198-8 in the discus, a mark that still stands as the Lady Vol record in that event. The only female to win the Tony Wilson Award (for Field Events) at the Sea Ray Relays prior to 1993, Haist also enjoyed a fine international career. The native of Fenwick, Ontario, Canada, represented her home country at the 1976 Olympics, placing 11th in the discus. She also competed in the 1977 Pan Pacific Games, winning a gold medal in the discus, and earned gold in the shot and discus at the 1974 Commonwealth Games and bronze in the discus at the 1975 Pan American Games.
Quoting Haist
"This evening was unbelievable. There were people who knew me or remembered me, which I didn't really expect (after all these years). A lot of people came up and congratulated me. It's been a pleasure to have had this opportunity to be inducted along with Pat Head Summitt. I am just really thrilled to have this honor."
A native of Macungie, Pa., Michelle Marciniak began her career at Notre Dame before transferring to Tennessee and establishing herself as one of the program's most beloved players during her 1993-96 tenure. The 1995 graduate and psychology major, known as "Spinderella" for her patented spin moves to the hoop, Marciniak capped her collegiate career by leading the Lady Vols to the 1996 NCAA title and earning NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player accolades. Also a 1996 Naismith All-American and a two-time All-SEC selection (1st team in 1995, 2nd team in 1996) on the court, Marciniak was recognized on the SEC Academic Honor Roll in 1994 and 1996 for her work in the classroom. The two-time NCAA Regional All-Tournament selection continues to rank first in single season three throw percentage (79%) and single game steals (11 vs. Kentucky, 1996), stands third in single season assists (204, 1994-95) and is one of 36 players to score 1,000 or more points in her UT career (1,004). Marciniak, whose in-home recruiting visit by a pregnant-Pat Summitt is the stuff of Lady Vol lore, continues to rank in the top 10 in eight other statistical categories.
Quoting Marciniak
"It's just such an incredible honor to share the stage with Pat and to really honor her. Tonight was about the inductees who were here, but when you just listened to what Pat Summitt has done throughout her career in terms of accomplishments it is very impressive. But what I wanted to do was to honor her in a way to know that she has been such a tremendous influence on so many lives, so many players, coaches, colleagues and fans. I try to put into words what she has meant to me, and there are so many people who could have stood up there and said that and were probably nodding their heads about some of the things I was speaking from my heart about her, because she has greatly influenced my life, and I want to tell the world about it."
Following a standout playing career at UT Martin, Pat Summitt came to Knoxville in 1974 to be an assistant coach and attend graduate school at UT Knoxville. When Margaret Hutson went on a sabbatical, Summitt accepted the head coaching position, and the rest is women's basketball history. During a legendary 38-year career as head coach that transitioned to head coach emeritus on April 18, 2012, Summitt became the winningest coach in NCAA women's or men's basketball history with a record of 1,098 and 208 and a winning percentage of 84 percent. She accomplished that while running her program with integrity and assuring that all 122 players who completed their eligibility at UT graduated. Along the way, Summitt led her teams to eight NCAA Championships, 18 NCAA Final Fours, 31-straight NCAA Tournament appearances,16 SEC Championships and 16 SEC Tournament Championships. She coached 21 WBCA/State Farm/Kodak All-Americans to 36 honors, 39 All-SEC players to 82 accolades, 12 Olympians and 34 WNBA players, including 15 drafted in the first round and three picked number one overall. Named the Naismith Coach of the Century in 2000, Summitt was a five-time Naismith Coach of the Year and eight-time SEC Coach of the Year among an endless list of career distinctions that also included head coach of the gold-medal-winning 1984 U.S. Olympic Women's Basketball Team.
Quoting Summitt
"In my 38 years at the University of Tennessee, I have seen tremendous growth in the game of basketball and women's athletics as a whole. I am very grateful that the University of Tennessee took a chance on a 22-year-old from Henrietta, Tenn. I have cherished every day representing the Lady Vols and am fiercely proud of what we have built. I have always said that you win in life with people. I have been very fortunate to have had talented and committed student-athletes, coaches, staff and administrators surrounding me during my time as head coach of the Lady Vols. I am also very proud that we have 100 percent graduation of our student-athletes. I thank the University of Tennessee for always believing in me."
A player at Tennessee from 1998-2002, Young-A Yang's score card as a Lady Vol golfer continues to set the program standard. The native of Tae-Gu City, South Korea, was honored by the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) all four years, earning first-team All-America status in 2001, earning second-team kudos in 2002 and honorable mention accolades in 1999 and 2000. An All-SEC player from 1999-2002, Yang remains the only Lady Vol player to garner all-league distinction in each season of her career. She also was named the SEC Freshman of the Year in 1999. After graduating in 2002, the psychology major ranks or is tied for first in five statistical categories, including top-10 career finishes (26), top-10 finishes in a season (9, 2000-01), career rounds of par or better (36), tournaments as Tennessee's top scorer (31) and low score after round 2 (65, 2001). She led UT in stroke average all four seasons, carding 74.71 as a freshman, 75.15 as a sophomore, 73.06 as a junior and 74.56 as a senior. In the classroom, Yang was a three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll member (2000-02), two-time GTE Academic All-District selection (2000, 2001) and 2000 NGCA Academic All-American.
Quoting Yang
"When Donna (Thomas) first emailed me, I wondered why she needed to talk to me. Of course when we talked and I found out what she wanted, I was speechless. This hadn't even crossed my mind. The only sad thing is that it has been 10 years since I graduated, so I have aged, but this was an unexpected surprise and an honor. When you go to the golf office (in Stokely Athletics Center) you always have to walk past the wall of Lady Vol Hall of Fame plaques, and it is just surprising and amazing to be here."

So i read a lot on other forums that convert to efans which gave me an idea. Below is the parts that i needed to complete it: 1. OEM Dual Fan from Chevy silverado 05-06 = Cost me $100 from craiglist 2. OEM Wire Harness #15912597 for the fans and included is the fan relay switch. = Cost $194.61 ordered it since i cant find anything on ebay/net or junk yard. 3. Need my PCM/ECM tuned to turn on C1= Pin 42 low speed cooling fan and Pin #33 high speed cooling fan. This cost $200 but i am still thinking about if either i need to have it tuned or will buy my own tuning software which is cost $650 for hptuners or $800 for efilive. I have the 34 inch radiator fan that fits exactly but it needs to be custom mounted which i did. I'll attach a picture here tomorrow. 2004 GMC Savana Pro. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Network of networks for a free and open internet
By Chad Lubelsky for APC
MONTREAL, Canada, 19 January 2010
2010 promises to be a significant year for the future of the internet with a number of potential changes on the horizon. It could be the last year of existence for the Internet Governance Forum and ICANN is confronting big changes as it moves out from under the control of the US government. In this time of flux, policy windows can open and close quickly. APC is building a worldwide network of civil society policy advocates from different spheres of policy work and with diverse campaigning experiences who all have a vested interest in ensuring that the internet is free and open.Full article at http://www.apc.org/en/node/9788/

cool man!!custom mando's for life!!
sweeeeet....i love the mando logo on the right breast plate What do the shoulder the shoulder bells look like? Its gonna look so sweet!
yes..I do too love the logo on the chest armor. Very nice........is that idea patented? That gives me a great idea when i do my custom gonzo mandalorian. The gonzo logo would be awsome there!
Can't wait to see more photos. Mesir like!
Thanks to all for the compliments.
The battle damage was made using the liquid mask over silver ,then the skull was traced on the armor over a base coat of Testors Titanium metalizer. I then painted on liquid mask over the drawing. . It turned out pretty good i think. Kinda like it was burned into the armor plate.
No. it's not patented. I traced the design from a vinyl decal i applied to my first set of trash can armor.
Full costume pics to follow later.. I'm ready for Halloween.
hey that looks awesome!!
well done!!
More pics of the completed costume. Version 1.0
Bad shot of my jet pack. Gotta take in the legs on the suit a bit more.
Target sighted.
Yes. It's a Modified Grievous blaster and a Rubies Jango bucket. All i could come up with for right now.
I have to thank JD for allowing me to come down and learn how to make fiberglass armor. Without him, i would still be in trash can armor.
You Rock JD. Thank you. :thumbup
I want to thank all the people on the board that have helped me out and for posting all the tips and tutorials on TDH. You people are great.
Most of all i thank my wife for her patience and understanding (putting up with me ) while making this costume in less than 4 months.
She's she best.

Loooooking good!
Nice dude, that armor is tight. Yay another custom to join the family.
your armor really looks kick :moon !!
may I ask what sort of gloves you are using? They look really skin tight. Looks really good actually.
Thanks for the compliment.
Honestly. I can't remember the brand name. I got the gloves from work.
It's a rubber/latex type coated palm with a fabric spandex? type material. I took some acetone on a rag and removed the logo that was on the back.
I am also considering doing a custom Mando. I am kinda afraid to take on Boba because I know how some people can get about accuracy. I will probably do an accurate Darth Vader and Stormtrooper in the future. Anyway, an idea I had for the gun was to modify the new G.I.Joe Sigma 6 gun. It is pretty cool and with the right amount of TLC I think it would be a cool Mando custom. I may get one this week and try some things. I will have to post some picks.
Thanks to all for the compliments.
Have a few tweaks/mods to do to this one and am considering attempting an ESB fett next.
Sweet! Looks bloody great! You need to go bounty hunting!....GO NOW!.
Well done dude, keep up the good work 8)
Looks great, one day Customs will rule. The blaster looks cool, maybe just paint the orange part black, or silver for a weathering effect.
Jun Garros, that looks awesome!!
The white is very sharp. Looks great.
AWESOME! one question though, what do you use to put it on your clothes!?
I believe Jun uses snaps if I remember correctly from AdCon. It's one of the three common ways to attach armor (Velcro and Nuts/Bolts being the other 2). Although it can be a pain getting everything lined up right, I use snaps and will probably continue to do so as they are just super strong.

I am planning to make some top screens for moving my bees. I bought one from Brushy last year, it was OK, but left something to be desired.
I made 2 different designs myself last season, and they are not perfect either.
I'm looking for alternative designs.
Brushy's design has the screen on the bottom of the shim and the side a bit lower than the ends so that the bees can get ventilation. The shortcoming of this design is that if I go out to the hives during the day or the day before and put the screens on, then a fairly large number of bees crawl into the space between the cover and the screen and just hang out in there, and never find their way back inside the hive.
I tried to remedy this by making my own screen tops with that side opening a bit bigger and cutting a piece of wood to fit in there. The thought was I could go and place it on the hive, and block it off, and then on moving night, I could just push the blocks in and strap it up and go. (Placing entrance blocks in too, or course). This worked pretty good too. The problem is that I keep losing these pieces of wood, because they are not attached.
I thought about taking a honey super and cutting it in half, so they are about 2 1/4" tall. Screen the bottom and cut out some holes all around the thing and screen them too. This way the bees would not be inclined to hang on the screens, but the ventilation would still be good.
Alternative designs welcome.......

This weekend the V8 Supercars are at Symmons Plains, Tasmania, for round three of the championship and the first of the new 60/60 Super Sprint events.
Under this format drivers don't have to worry about how much fuel they're burning or wear on their tyres.
This will open up the racing as drivers will have to concentrate only on race craft, rather than tyre and fuel strategy.
On the other side of the coin it will be nail-biting time for team principals, engineers, mechanics and pit crews. Staying out of trouble and not bending the car will be vital this weekend as from Tasmania, cars and crew go straight to New Zealand for the ITM 400.
None of the 28 cars in the field will be able to return to their bases between events, placing a premium on contingency planning for replacement parts.
Damaged or not, all cars will have to be loaded into their trucks by late Monday morning to make the boat back to Melbourne.
The crews will then spend Tuesday morning moving spares from their trucks to already partially stocked aircraft containers at Melbourne Airport, and the cars and equipment will fly to New Zealand on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The drivers will be thinking about how the new Car of the Future will handle on one of the more technical circuits on the calendar.
While realising it is early days in the series, Kiwi driver Fabian Coulthard is pleased with the way his car, and team, are performing.
In the opening round of the championship, in Adelaide, Coulthard was quick all weekend and in contention for podium finishes in both races but fell short because of mechanical issues.
At the Australian Grand Prix, a non-point scoring round, the Lockwood Racing pilot was on fire. He put the field to the sword by winning three of the four races and came home third in the other, which was won by another Kiwi, Scott McLaughlin.
"Tassie hasn't been the best place for BJR [Brad Jones Racing] in the past," said Coulthard.
"Focusing on this weekend though, we've come off a pretty good time at the Grand Prix weekend. It was awesome for my confidence and the team's pumped.
"I can't wait to get there and get on track. We've been to three different tracks and been fast on all of them.
"Everyone is now on a level playing field with the new cars and we've got some of the better cars. It's a short technical circuit, but I don't hate the joint at all - I got my first V8 Supercar podium there."
Fellow Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen is in resurgent form now he's with Tekno Autosport, and showed just how good he is by winning race two at the opening round at the Clipsal 500.
"Qualifying is going to be really important as the circuit is quite short," said van Gisbergen.
"We're in pretty good cars and have to keep making the most of them until the others catch up.
"The DNF in the first race of season means we're in 10th place, but if we can get some good points this weekend we should be back in it."
Heading to Tasmania, the best-placed Kiwi driver is McLaughlin at sixth on the points table. The main game rookie is keeping out of trouble and collecting points along the way.
He has undoubted speed as witnessed by his win in Melbourne and his top-10 finishes in Adelaide.
"Everything is working well at the moment and we just have to stick to our goals and keep doing what we're doing ... and as long as we keep our heads up we'll be okay," said McLaughlin.
The Super Sprint has two 60km-lap races split by 15 minutes. The grid for part one is set in qualifying, the finishing order decides the grid for part two. The second 25-lapper is where the points get paid out. Adding intrigue and complexity, part two will have a double-file rolling start.
The Tassie round ends tomorrow with two 120km races. That means there will be no refuelling pit stops all weekend, and any changing of the mandatory soft tyres will be driven by strategy rather than necessity.
V8 Supercars points
1. Craig Lowndes 279
2. Jamie Whincup 267
3. Will Davison 240
4. Russell Ingall 198
5. James Courtney 192

By Susan Black
A teacher says the core beliefs she wrote as a student at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Ore., have changed considerably now that she's taught for six years.
Before becoming an elementary teacher, her beliefs about teaching were high-minded and idealistic. She imagined a picture-perfect classroom, cooperative children, and flawless lessons.
Her greatest challenge has been coming to grips with "the chaos that goes on in schools." She admits that her idealism has slipped several notches and that she sometimes feels disillusioned. She's especially dismayed that her school seems to squelch children's "freshness, creativity, and intuition."
She recently wrote a collection of new core beliefs that reflect her growing experience. For instance, she says, teachers shouldn't interrupt children while they're thinking and working, and teachers should earn, not demand, students' respect.
This young teacher's new beliefs are spirited, and they reveal her growing understanding of children and how they learn. She's counting on her core beliefs to help her through the occasional days that end in "confusion and heartache."

More better players means higher level of competition and thusly less statistical output by everyone playing during that time.It's not just about the great players its about all players that would have been on a team instead of a white guy. The bottom of every team's roster would have been better.This should be common sense.
Are we actually going to have a draft and a league? Someone let me know.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
really you usually want to draft right after the last pre-season game to account for preseason injuries.
+1. I agree
We looked pretty strong the other night. O line started out ok in the first with a few nice runs but then hit a wall. Cruz looked good. Randle and JJ both had nice plays. Eli threw a stinker, didnt see the safety but still looked ok.
Im liking Hosley, looks great in nickle. pick 6 in MAN:wink:. Tuck Osi Jpp, all did great, Saw Kiwi literally toss a lineman out his way on a blitz and got some pressure, also a had a few tackles. Secondary was pretty solid, but lets not get to excited, jets offense hasnt scored a td yet this preseason.
oh by the way guys, I have NFL Network so the Cablevision thing is working (in NJ at least)

Its a simple question.
WLC, this is all pretty typical. You've answered questions I haven't asked, and haven't responded to those I asked. You haven't addressed my criticisms, nor responded to my suggestion that there was a bit of confusion abroad due to different views of the meaning of the key term. All you've done is parroted your positions.
You've claimed 'proof' without acknowleging the point that proof lies in empirical demonstration - or explaining why that isn't necessary in this case.
This isn't dialogue. It isn't constructive. Its simply repetition of belief and refusal to take any notice of valid criticism.

In Skylanders Swap Force, players travel around a massive universe, swapping Skylanders to defeat enemies in various quests. New quests are given to players as they discover new worlds and upgrade their character. Certain worlds are exclusive to certain character types. The game is playable with up to two players. With more than 55 Skylanders and 250 new combinations, this game will get your creative juices flowing!
What will kids like about this game?
This game makes you think about good combinations and is more creative than the earlier Skylanders game. Plus, you are able to battle with characters in a nonviolent way.
What tips would you give other players?
Look around in every possible space—you could stumble upon a new challenge even within a quest. Also, try to give each character equal playing time because when one character levels up, the other characters do not. This could make one of your characters much stronger than your other characters.
You don't have to buy every character to have a good experience in the game. For most players, the basic starter pack lets you do almost everything. Finally, don't worry about traveling into every world. The game is still great with some restrictions!

First of all thank you for a fantastic stay on your boat! Ben is a very carring and friendly host. Respected our privacy. Nice and clean. Excellent breakfast. Great location. Best regards, Christel & Christian - Denmark
We can recommend Ben and his houseboat most warmly!
The room lies wonderfully centrally and still quietly and is equipped with all what you need. Ben is a very likeable and attentive host. We have estimated his breakfast and his welcome snack very much. If one could also award 11 points: here they would be right. Thank you very much, Ben
It was a fantastic journey. We enjoyed our stay and Ben's houseboat was the best place to be. The breakfast was amazing. And watching little duck-babies and geese was a real pleasure. Ben was a lovely host and helped us out with many tips and we rent his bikes. They were very helpful to explore the city. Thanks to Ben, we even made a trip outside the city which was really nice.
We spent a lovely long weekend in March on Ben's houseboat. It's a perfect place to stay in Amsterdam - a bit away from the crowds and the hustle but still close enough to all the sights. The view from the window onto the canal is gorgeous (and so are the swans and ducks who come by during breakfast time).
Ben's a very nice and hospitable host: There were fresh flowers in the room when we arrived, the breakfast was delicious and Ben's tips how to get around were very valuable.
Thanks a lot for our hospitality, Ben! We'll definitely stay with you again if we visit Amsterdam once more.
We had a great stay in Amsterdam thanks to Ben ´s kindness and hospitality. The room is so cute and well situated just near a windmill. There are several bus and tramway lines very near to go to the station or the center really fast and easily. The houseboat is very pleasant, with all the facilities. The breakfast was delicious. Many thanks to Ben! We would love to come back!
Our stay was amazing! Ben received us very well, giving us the best breakfast in town and gave us the best tips to visit Amsterdam.
The houseboat is awsome, very nice and quiet location, always warmed and confortable, perfect for 2.
The city center is about 10 mn by bus or tram or 20 walking.
Highly recommend!
Amazing and very quiet place. Ben is a very nice host, receptive and attentive. You can rent bicycles and use very good tips from Ben to visit Amsterdam. The breakfast is just perfect. I highly recommend this place!
It was a pleasure to stay at Ben's Boat and Breakfast.
We really enjoyed our stay there. It made our short trip
even more unique.Thanks.
We were so pleased with our stay at Ben's boat & breakfast. It was a great experian and we Can strongly recommend to stay at his place. Ben is a fantastic host really nice and helpfull and the breakfast he's serving is delicious. The Room and toilet is very Nice and clean. It's not the last time that we will give Ben a visit. Best Regards Ole and Melanie from Denmark

Report: Delonte West could join Mavericks' D-League affiliate
By Rob Mahoney
After a season of solid play and good citizenry in Dallas, Delonte West was re-signed for the 2012-13 campaign only to be dismissed in a manner that was as unexpected as it was unceremonious. We still don't have any articulated reason as to why the Mavs cut ties with West, but most reports point to a vague disagreement with head coach Rick Carlisle -- a believable possibility given West's emotive personality. It was a shame. West seemed to have a good working relationship with Dallas staffers and teammates, and the Mavericks are an organization with the infrastructure necessary to accommodate a player like West. Yet some line was apparently crossed in the lead-up to the season, leading Mavs GM Donnie Nelson and owner Mark Cuban to take decisive action.
That decision didn't come without consequence. Once new Maverick Darren Collison's decision-making began to irk Carlisle, he had only Rodrigue Beaubois and Dominique Jones -- and later, Derek Fisher and Mike James -- to rely on in West's absence. Dallas' play has suffered all season due to the hole that the Mavs burned in their own depth chart, but West is reportedly making efforts to repair that relationship in the hopes that he might be able to re-join the Mavericks.
According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, West has officially entered the D-League player pool, which makes him eligible for a waiver claim by any of the D-League's teams. There are sure to be a number of potential suitors (the Grizzlies reportedly are weighing whether to sign West to a 10-day NBA deal), but atop the waiver priority list are the Nelson-owned and Mavericks-operated Texas Legends.
What exactly the Mavs would want to see from West is unknown but it's clear that he's an altogether superior player to Mike James, who currently fills minutes for Carlisle as a backup point guard. James' journeyed, dwindling NBA career made him an uninspired addition to the team, but he's been reasonably effective in too large a role. He'd make for a fine third guard, but Dallas is in much greater need of a more dynamic reserve who could take some of the pressure off of Collison. West fits that bill perfectly, though we shouldn't presume that he'll be streamlined from D-League waiver wire to significant NBA minutes overnight. Whatever grievance the Mavs had initially seems to still hang in the air, and it'll be up to both parties to make amends for the sake of a mutually beneficial solution. It's not often that players and teams have a chance to reconcile so soon after making a mistake. As of this point, there's no reported interest from the Mavs' side of this move, meaning that West's attempt to get back to Dallas could well end in Frisco. But adding West simply makes too much sense for the Mavs to overlook the benefit of having him around, and whether or not they ultimately opt to re-sign him, Nelson are Cuban will at the very least be able to explore the possibility of his return through a D-League trial.

Cass County Sheriff's Office to take unwanted prescription drugs Oct. 26 in Hackensack, Longville
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, the Cass County Sheriff's Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its seventh opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.
Bring your medications for disposal to the Hackensack Senior Center at 108 Third St. N., Hackensack, and the Longville YAH Senior Club at 150 Pond Lane, Longville. The service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
Last April, Americans turned in 371 tons (more than 742,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at more than 5,800 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners.
In its six previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in more than 2.8 million pounds — more than 1,400 tons — of pills.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse.

Ok, here's my question about a tree I have posted on before. I hope to get some good advice here.
A while back I was having some timber cut to build some outbuildings and one of the trees had a large hive in it. When the tree fell it caught in a snag and the tree being a dead and decaying Poplar broke and the part with the hive landed on the ground with the entrance hole straight up. Advice attained here was to leave it till spring and protect the opening. Seems plausible to me.
Now here is the kicker: I hooked on to the tree top which is simply a pole about 16 feet long and started to pull it out of the brush so I could put some sort of roof over the hole and noticed the bees went crazy so I left it for them to calm down. Today I went back to inspect the hive and here is what I found.
The break went right thru the hive. Absolutely all of the hive is in the pole that I pulled out of the brush. When I got it so I could see the break I was surprised to see 4 or 5 large combs about 36 inches long hanging from the log about 2 inches from the ground. There is a cluster of bees about the size of a 3 gallon bucket clustered on the comb about 4 inches from the ground. The hive is completely open to the elements and to vermin.
The weather is still fairly warm and dry here so I thought I would cut off this log to about 48 inches long and put it in a box resembling a top bar hive for the winter. I also think this will allow me to insulate the bees and also feed them sugar or fondant. If they make it thru I will rehive them in the spring. They are beautiful golden honey bees and I hate for them to die.
I'm not sure if they have adequate stores as I can't see into the hive well enough to determine that.
Any opinions here as to my plans or better ideas? How should I feed them? I am open to any ideas that will save them. Thanks ,John Brewer

This is one of those debates that will never really be resolved; Nicks better than Cruz, Cruz better than Nicks. Suffice it to say that having them both on this team should be the goal because Eli is better when they are and our chances of making a playoff run improves.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
I have no more jerseys left! I had Osi for defense and Ahmad for offense....so i guess im starting from scratch...i think i'll get a Eli jersey for some consistency
Well we will see before the day is over because this is the last day for tenders! Put up or shut up Giants!

Marina is a lovely host, a nice person and she took a good care on us. There were no problems with her, she alwas was punctually and kind.
The apartment is a wonderful place for a couple, inside it's a little small but the huge terrace is amazing. We loved to lay there in the sun and enjoy the view.
The Metro stations are not far away and so you're very flexible, from Camp de l'Arpa you just need five minutes to the city. Many little stores and restaurants surround the apartment, so it's not difficult to get supplies. The bedroom has an air conditioner, so if you burn outside you can cool down inside.
But we had to watch out for one thing: An unisolated socket (it just have a clap on it) at a corner in the shower/bathroom, if you don't know it, it could get wet easily, a cable is on the floor, too. You can protect it from water with the shower curtain, but it doesn't hold everything. Despite that, we give 5 Stars because this is a wonderful apartment with a nice host, you just have to watch the water while you shower.
Greets to Marina, was a pleasure to stay at your apartment.
Todo esta bien.
A very nice apartment which is located close to the Sagrada Famila. The highlight was definetly the terrace which enabled us to drink coffee in the morning and to calm down in the evening.
Marina is a very charming host.
Perfect stay for some days in Barcelona.
A very nice but small apartment, only max. 2 persons. Splended terasse with view and sun.
No internet access and bed needs new and better madras.
A very nice apt. Lovely romantic terrace as described. Very huge, sunny & private terrace, umbrella for shade etc. Patio doors from Small but efficient apt.,For 2. With Hide a bed! Functional kitchen with laundry. A 10-15minute walk to La Familia Segrada where Metro is located. Is a Less touristic area with many shops & small grocerie stores nearby. TV can be re-programmed for some other languages! Elevator in building, located on 5 th floor. Good views of city scape from inside & out. Clean Quiet building. A Pretty good choice for the privacy & price.
The apartment of Marina was very nice and proper. The apartment is not far away from the sagrada familia and some lovely little cafes and bars, where you can have breakfast or dinner. Marina was very sympatic and helpful and everything from arranging to get or to give back the keys was correct.
The flat of Host Marina is very cute, charming and decorated with lots of details. The one space apartment is perfect for a couple. You can enjoy nice great sunset on a huge and well equipped terrace.
Marina as a Host has been of great help and has left everything very tidy and well organised.
All in all it was a great experience and I can recommend her place with no doubt.
Nette kleine Dachwohnung im Viertel Clot mit herrlichen Ausblick von Dachterasse. Service unkompliziert und hilfsbereit, Extras wie spätes oder frühes Check IN bzw . Out kostenpflichtig.
La señora Marina muy amable y puntual. El piso es amplio para estancias cortas de hasta 4 personas. El aire de una de las habitaciones no funcionaba y la cama de esa misma habitación era incómoda. La señira Marina sin embargo iba a solucionarlo.
Anfitriona educada y amable.El apartamento se accede atraves de una puerta comun que da acceso a dos pisos.Cuando abres la puerta que te corresponde,los inquilinos de la otra puerta se piensan que les estas abriendo su puerta.
Hay que subir 10 escalones para llegar a las habitaciones.La terraza es mas bien un tendedero con 2 sillas y el unico sitio donde se permite fumar.Si fuesemos 5 nos chocariamos los unos con los otros de lo pqeueno y estrecho que es todo.El baño recien reformado es lo mejor de todo.
La localizacion es buena y a 15min caminando de la Sagrada Familia.

I closed down my hive entrances for winter, only leaving one hole open but with hardware cloth over it as a mouse gaurd. I was taking a close look at the entrances the other day and noticed my New World Carniolan bees have started propolizing their entrance to reduce it more but the Buckfast bees haven't. The Buckfast bees are from MS and are perhaps not cold acclimated but the NWC hive also is in front of the Buckfast one and perhaps acts like a windbreak for it. I wasn't closing off the single hole any more because I figured they needed to be able to vent the humidity out of the hive.
Has anyone else noticed their bees reducing their entrance with propolis? The rest of both hives are well propolized closed otherwise.

It's a great place very close to Sagrada Familia. Room for your own use, with bathroom, clean, totally convenient.
We didn't meet Thiago, but we received keys. It's a bit noisy - a street outside the window - but it's endurable. I can recommend it.
Thiago - thank you!
Tiago is a nice person and the room is clean and comfortable, as well the private bathroom and the whole apartment. The location is whithout any doubt the best part, just few meters far from the atonishing Sagrada Familia. Absolutely suggested!!!
Thank you Tiago for a wonderful stay! You have a very private atmosphere and at the same time feel yourself at home. A room is perfectly located for someone who wants to see the city with it gorgeous architecture!
My mom and I really enjoyed our time in Barcelona :)
It was a great stay. The room is great and Tiago as host very friendly. The private bathroom gives you a lot privacy and the location of the flat is perfect. :)
We enjoy Barcalona and like the room close to Sagrada Familia
we meet Tiago and few friend all friendly and very helpful
highly recommended
It was a nice easy room at a good location in Barcelona. Someone was waiting for us already when we arrived at the apartment. Room wasn't special but will do the trick for a few days in town.
It was a very nice trip to Barcelona.Diego and his friend are very friendly and helpful. In every situation they help you, if you have any kind of questions.
The bedroom and the bathroom are clean, besides that the wohle apartment is also clean. From the apartment we have the chance to go everywhere in Barcelona ( By metro,bus or by bike) I recommend this apartment to anyone :)

Television and film star Lynn Collins makes our heart skip a beat.
If Lynn Collins stops appearing on television shows, we may have to cancel our cable subscription. Even though she started her acting career only 13 years ago, Collins has graced the small screen on hit shows such as Law & Order: SVU, Haunted and in her sexy role as a kinky waitress on True Blood. This gorgeous brunette has also graced the pages of GQ (see her video below) as well as appeared nude in three of her films. She may not strip down as much as the next star, but her bubbly personality, incredible body and on-screen chemistry leave all of the good stuff to the imagination.
Lynn Collins has also performed in many blockbuster hit films over the years, like John Carter, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Number 23 and the indie film Uncertainty to name a few, but as of right now there doesn't seem to be anything else being lined up for Lynn. We think she should head back to TV and dominate the channels with another kinky waitress role. It would have to be on a channel that was okay with full frontal nudity, though, so NBC need not apply. Even though we don't have much to choose from, here are two of our favorite clips of Lynn Collins getting it on with a costar.
True Blood
Many will remember Lynn from her screen time in the film John Carter, but for us and those who enjoy the sexier things in life, we will always remember her as the short-lived character Dawn Green in the HBO series True Blood. She was a waitress with Sookie at the popular diner Merlotte's. Unfortunately, she was the second victim of the serial killer that was the main villain in season one. Luckily, before her demise viewers were given a taste of what she was like in the sack.
We love indie movies, especially since the sex scenes are more passionate than the ones we see in big blockbuster films.

1965 Dodge M37 The Dumpster: Part 1Posted in Project Vehicles on March 1, 2010 Comment (0)
My new-to-me '65 truck was missing everything but the axles when I bought it, so basically I brought home a good body and frame. This "new" truck, a Dodge M37, is very similar to the classic civilian Power Wagons; it was equipped with a low-power, high-torque straight-six engine, manual transmission, a divorced transfer case, and unique dropout-style axles.
M37s were 3/4-ton truck used by the U.S. military from the early '50s to the late '60s. While five or six other guys at the office have the later iteration military 1 1/4-ton Jeep M715, I think the Dodge M37 is much better looking with big swooping fenders capable of clearing 40-plus-inch tires, and a narrower body perfect for four wheeling.
It was also time to get rid of my Red Sled, a '91 Chevy 3/4-ton, due to wiring and IFS headaches, so I figured the M37 would be a great home for all the old Sled's running gear and other old stuff I have lying around the shop. Since this would be the receptacle for discarded project bits and it's a faded green color and was full of trash when I bought it, the M37 was christened the Dumpster.
I took the Dumpster to Pacific Fabrication and discussed the build with proprietor Kevin Stearns and his head tech, Jason Howerton. The plan was simple, to start with. I would swap the axles and powertrain from the Red Sled and add the Dodge 1-ton front axle I had brought home ages ago. But then I decided that the 4L80E automatic wasn't right for this old truck. This classic truck warranted a manual. As luck would have it, I had recently pulled the SM-465 from my Chevy Army truck.
Next was the big-block 454ci engine from the Sled. This throttle-body powerplant was still low in miles, but even when new it wasn't very impressive in power. In my conversations with the guys at Pacific Fab they recommended one of their late-model LS series GM engine packages. They sell both new and used LS V-8s with many different power numbers and simple standalone wiring harnesses. We decided on a used 6.0L small-block from a '04 GMC Denali (see "Awesome Engine in Any Truck," Sept. '09) that should offer around 300-325 hp versus the 230 from the 454.
With the engine mocked in place we moved forward with the front suspension and gear train. Doing an entire powertrain swap in a vehicle isn't a simple weekend project, but the goal is to see this truck running in Moab by Easter Safari. We'll be touching base with the Dumpster over the next few months and hopefully will be wheeling it by April Fool's Day 2010.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
For our March/April 2010 issue, reporter Justine Sharrock got up close and personal with Oath Keepers, a fast-growing "patriot" group that recruits active-duty soldiers, police, and veterans to resist what its members consider an increasingly tyrannical government. Members reaffirm their service oath to uphold the Constitution and further vow to disobey any orders they deem illegal or unconstitutional. Unveiled last April, the group has already established itself as a hub within the larger anti-Obama movement, attracting a wide range of followers from politicians to Tea Partiers to militia enthusiasts—not to mention alienated soldiers like Private 1st Class Lee Pray, above. The group has also drawn praise from a who's who of right-wing cable hosts including Glenn Beck. (Bill O'Reilly proved a tougher audience.) In this slideshow, we look more closely at some of the group's connections.

Once upon a time, drive-in movies were a big family pastime, and they were part of the collective culture. But those big outdoor screens and community affairs have largely disappeared. Not so in Barron Park, where the big screen will return on Saturday, July 27, for Neighborhood Movie Night under the stars.

Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works.
"reject the fear mongers",
government needs them.
So we should take a chill pill for every time he makes laws byway of Executive Powers, or his czars do the same without any oversight by anyone, We should ignore how much he laments about not having the powers of a tyrant as he could rule so much more efficirntly if things were different
But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.

Hello all, Im new to this forum and I want to say thanks in advanced. 2001 Cavalier. While in Drive and moving. The " trac off" Light will come on and car will not shift and or shifts hard. I can stop, put it in park, turn off ignition and restart. The light then goes off and when I put it in Drive it makes a loud bang. This repeats its self at diferent times.
I must add that when I had Advanced Auto put it on the computer. It said that the Tourge Converter Circut is stay on.
Sounds like an issue of the torque converter locking and unlocking at the wrong times.My guess is you're looking at a transmission teardown/rebuild.
