This bathroom looks okay from a distance, but upon closer look, the whole place is falling apart. The homeowners agreed to let us renovate the room, but we let you decide on how we should do it. You voted on the new cabinetry, flooring, fixtures and more. Browse through the slides to see what you picked.
Handsome Vanity
You voted for cherry cabinets with a rope detailing on the doors. Good choice, it works perfectly with the natural-colored granite countertops that you picked and dual-shaded wall sconces.
Rich Palette
For the walls, you selected Halcyon Green – a sophisticated color with blue/gray undertones. Down below, the Brazilian cherry won the flooring vote.
A Deep Soak
The large soaking tub won out over the traditional-style claw-foot tub. The genie-lantern-shape faucet that you voted for looks great sitting on the granite tub deck.

Eurozone Growth Stuck in a QuagmirePosted in European Economy on August 19, 2014
Eurozone growth goes from setback to setback with last week's GDP number being just the latest in a long line of similar disappointments. Soft indicators have consistently overstated the strength of this year's recovery, and the unpleasant truth is that as one country after another has swooned under the summer heat we are down to Spain as 'last man standing'. Our leading indicators are pointing to anaemic growth ahead for much of the eurozone and Russia's recent food sanctions on European agriculture will only add to the downturn.

European economies showed further signs of stabilization in January with flash PMIs registering continued strengthening on most fronts (this week will see a number of actual PMI readings). The only noteworthy exception was France where conditions deteriorated further, with the composite reading falling to 42.6 (from 44.7 in December) and hence showing a sharp contraction. At the other end of the scale was Germany, where the composite showed 53.6 (up from 50.3 in December), an evidently positive surge in activity.

Spain will be difficult to contain without help and bank recapitalisationPosted in European Economy, Featured, Monetary Policy on April 19, 2012
In our view, the Spanish banking system is in need of wholesale recapitalisation to deal with the sizeable losses in the country's property market. This will likely include a bad bank provision. Before that happens, the ECB's open market operations will mainly buy time in the form of liquidity as well as provide banks with money to exchange bad loans for lending to the government.

Engine turns over but will not start??
Ok, we have a 1969 Ford truck with a 290 in line 6 cylinder engine and manual transmission. We have spark at all the plugs, perfect timing, gas at the carburator, checked for flooding, good compression in each cylinder, no vacuum leaks, and the car will not hit a lick. I even checked the exhaust pipe for blockage and the engine makes no attempt to start at all. Give me some ideas.
jim i dont knough why im telling you for you already knough but you may check the selniod on the fire wall or the coil wire i had the same problem with my 77ford i changed these and took off gordon
If you are sure you have proper timing and spark, I would pour about a half cup of gas down the careburetor and see if it actually runs. If it doesn't, your spark timing or cam timing is probably wrong.
I am completely baffeled. I have checked everything 18 times and can't find anything wrong. This vehicle belongs to a friend of mine. If we don't come up with something quick, he is going to have it towed to a mechanic for repair. I am so ashamed I can not figure this out.
Try a different coil, when coils go bad they will sometimes fire a spark in free air but not under compression.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
jimweeks,howdy!ditto the plugs!if they have been cold fouled they wont fire under compression.whatever happens let us know,there is always something out their to stretch our limits!jimm
If it has a power brake booster check the vacume line going from the carb to the booster, sometimes when the boosters go bad they shoot brake fluid into the carb resulting in the car not starting. Its an idea, but I'm no mechanic
Yeh Jim, sometimes it gets baffling, especially when everything seems to be like it is supposed to be and nothing works. I had one awhile back doing just like that, I was getting fire and gas and the timing had not been fooled with. Finally found that the roll pin that holds the gear on the bottom of the distributer had sheared and the gear had slipped and then locked to the shaft on the shards of the broke roll pin. You could turn it over and the rotor turned around like it was supposed to. You could pull the plug wires one at a time and they were fireing, You could put number one up on TDC and look at the timing mark and it was in time, and it was getting gas. But it was fireing at the wrong time. Never did figure out what cause the pin to shear though, but got her to running and never had another problem out of it. Good Luck
I have learned something from each of the posts, so I appreciate your input. I tried every suggestion everyone made and it still would not even act like it wanted to start, so I told my friend to go ahead and have it towed in for repair. An hour later the shop called to let us know the truck was fixed. I had been sweating over this thing for days and this guy finds the problem and fixes it in an hour! Can I show my face again? Any way,I was the first one into the shop to find out what the trouble was. The mechanic was nice and explained that the trouble was with a partially bad ignition switch. He said this will cause you to have some spark, but its weaker than it should be and under compression there would be no spark at all. He simply replaced the ignition switch and it starts up and runs fine. I'm going home now. Thank you.
Yeh Jim, you can show your face, anyone who does much mechanic work is going to get snakebit every once in a while and you just got snakebit. Glad they got it fixed easy enough without it being something real expensive. Yeh, I learned something from this also, I had thought about weak spark, but I was thinking coil, module whatever, I would have never thought about the ignition switch doing that. Glad you got it going and glad I learned something in the process.
I would give that mechanic all my work if he could figure out a bad ignition switch that quickly, sounds like a keeper.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
hi jim glade you got the veh running but i wouldnt have thought switch ether i hope it gives you many miles to play with beleave me ill rember switch gordon
jim, i am so sorry , i had a t-bird in the 70's that exhibited the same symptons.my brother -in- law suggested i run a hot wire from the battery to the ignition side of the coil,i did, it ran the upon tracking the ignition wire back to the main firewall plug-in idiscovered that it was 99% severed.sorry i didnt remember,running a hot wire would have put you on the problem,just remember, if we always got it right no one could stand to be around us,jimm
Hi Jim, ditto to what everyone else said. We all get bit. There's been times where I've looked like the hero at work and others where I've wanted to bury my head in the sand. Sometimes there's just so many possibilities that experience more than smarts is needed. I have seen many smart guys stumped only to have someone else walk over and go 'hey did you try this'. That guy is not neccessarily any smarter, but experienced and 'been there done that'. We had a Mitsubishi in the shop not too long ago. Now we don't normally get these at a Ford dealership but we sold it used and had to fix it. This car started and ran but hessitated and missed on accelleration. The tech working on it checked fuel pressure, MAP sensor, other sensors, and then finally checked actual spark (which up till this point he assumed was ok) and found it was weak. He ended up replacing a 700 dollar distributor to fix it (coil part of distributor). So yes even an 'A' tech at a dealership gets stumped every now and then.

Does my kitty need the Feline Leukemia vaccine?
I was told by my vet that since Sace is indoors only and we have no other cats, he doesn't need the Feline Leukemia vaccine. I am still nervous though. We live in an apartment, and I would just hate for him to run out the door and not be protected.
Do any other indoor cat owners get the Feline Leukemia vaccine? Can it hurt them if they don't "need" it?

I would def get the vacine. What if he got out then there's no telling if he will get it or not. My baby Ayla is indoors only but she is still getting it. Better safe then sorry...
Ayla answered on 11/2/09. Helpful? / 0
I agree with Ayla. 2 of my 3 cats are indoor only, but all 3 get each vaccine my vet recommends including the FeLeuk. They've never had an adverse reaction to any vaccines they've ever been given.

happy quilting
Hello there, ghquilter! I love Marshall! Maybe I will have to plan a trip to visit your shop.
Nice to "meet" other Amy Butler fans! She is the reason I am here doing this. I could save up money and buy things that others are making with her fabrics that I like, or I can spend less money and make things of my own with her fabric and love them because I designed them. I am pleased to have discovered the latter option. It took forever for it to dawn on me, though. Thank you all so much for the positive vibes and the welcomes. I love sharing these here.
Your doing just a wonderful Job! they're beautiful, keep up the good and pretty Job. We all can use mentor, inspiration in
Welcome to the exciting world of fabric and quilting. Glad you are having fun.

Schedule 12: Breach, revocation and amendment of suspended sentence order, and effect of further conviction
797.Part 1 of this Schedule and paragraphs 3 and 4, on statutory warnings, make similar provision to that dealing with community orders in Schedule 8. Paragraph 6 provides that a magistrates' court can issue a summons for an offender to appear before a court (or a warrant for his arrest) if the offender has failed to comply with any community requirements of the order in cases where the suspended sentence order was made by a magistrates' court or which was made by the Crown Court and includes a direction that any failure to comply with the community requirements of the order is to be dealt with by a magistrates court. The summons will specify the court reviewing the order if the order contains provision for review. If the offender does not appear in response to a summons the court can issue a warrant for his arrest. Paragraph 7 provides for the Crown Court to issue a summons or warrant for the offender to appear before it where the order was made by the Crown Court and does not include a direction that any failure to comply with the community requirements of the order is to be dealt with by a magistrates' court. If the offender does not appear in response to a summons, a warrant for his arrest can be issued.
798.Paragraph 8 sets out the magistrates' court's powers where an offender breaches a suspended sentence by failing to comply with a community requirement or by committing a further offence anywhere in the United Kingdom. The presumption is that the suspended sentence will be activated, unless the court finds that it would be unjust to do so. If it activates the suspended sentence the court can set a shorter term or custodial period for the offender to serve if it wishes. If the court finds that it would be unjust to activate the suspended sentence it can keep the sentence suspended but amend the order to make the community requirements more onerous or to extend either the supervision or operational periods. The court must state the reasons for choosing this option. It must also take into account the extent to which the offender complied with the requirements of the order and the facts of the subsequent offence. A magistrates' court can commit the offender to the Crown Court, including orders which were made by the Crown Court and include a direction that any failure to comply with the community requirements of the order is to be dealt with by a magistrates' court. If the proceedings occur in the Crown Court the determination of breach is to be made by the court and not a jury.
799.Under paragraph 9 when the suspended sentence is activated, the court must make a custody plus order. That is, it has to set the licence conditions that will apply on the offender's release from custody at the end of custodial period of his sentence. The court may decide whether the new sentence is to take effect immediately or after any other sentence that the offender is serving (subject to the rules affecting consecutive sentences). Sub-paragraph (3) provides that an activated suspended sentence counts as having been imposed by the court which originally imposed the suspended sentence.
800.Under paragraph 10, if an offender has refused to comply with a mental health, drug or alcohol treatment requirement, and the refusal is believed by the court to be reasonable under the circumstances, it is not to count as breach. Also, the offender's consent must be obtained before amending a mental health, drug or alcohol treatment requirement in response to breach. Paragraph 11 sets out which court deals with the suspended sentence if the offender is convicted of a further offence. Where the original sentence was passed by the Crown Court and the subsequent offence by a magistrates' court, the latter can remand the offender in custody or on bail to the Crown Court or give written notice to the Crown Court of the subsequent conviction.
801.Under paragraph 12, if it becomes apparent that the court has not dealt with the suspended sentence in cases where the offender has committed a new offence, a court with jurisdiction may issue a summons or warrant to the offender to appear before a court. A court with jurisdiction refers to the Crown Court if the suspended sentence was passed by the Crown Court, or a justice acting for the area if the suspended sentence was passed by the magistrates' court. A magistrates' court may not issue a summons except on information and may not issue a warrant except on information in writing and on oath. If the subsequent offence is committed in Scotland or Northern Ireland, and the original suspended sentence was passed in England or Wales, the Scottish or Northern Ireland court must give written notice of the conviction to the court that passed the suspended sentence. Summonses and warrants must direct the offender to appear before the court that imposed the suspended sentence.
802.Part 3 deals with amending suspended sentence orders. Paragraph 13 provides that the appropriate court can cancel the community requirements of a suspended sentence order on application of the offender or responsible officer. This may occur if the offender becomes very ill and cannot undertake the requirements. The appropriate court is explained in sub-paragraph (4). Paragraph 14 provides that the appropriate court can amend the suspended sentence order by substituting a new petty sessions area if the offender proposes to or has changed residence. The court may, and on the application of the responsible officer must, cancel or change any requirements of the order that are not available in the area to which the offender wishes to move. In particular, a programme requirement cannot be amended if it is not available in the new area. The appropriate court is the same as in paragraph 12.
803.Under paragraph 15 an offender or his responsible officer can apply to have the community requirements of an order amended. The appropriate court can cancel a requirement or replace it with another requirement of the same kind, for example to alter the hours of a curfew or substitute one activity for another. The court cannot amend a mental health, drug or alcohol treatment requirement unless the offender consents. If the offender fails to consent, the court can revoke the order and re-sentence the offender. If it re-sentences him the court must take into account the extent to which the offender complied with the requirements of the order. The appropriate court has the same meaning as in paragraph 12. Paragraph 16 provides that, where a community order includes a drug rehabilitation, alcohol treatment or mental health treatment requirement and the medical practitioner or other person responsible for the treatment is of the opinion that the treatment should be extended beyond the period specified in the order, that the offender should receive different treatment, that the offender is not susceptible to treatment or that the offender does not require further treatment, he must make a report to the responsible officer. He can also report that he is unwilling to continue to treat (or direct the treatment) of the offender for any reason. The responsible officer must then apply to the court to have the requirement amended or cancelled.
804.Paragraph 17 provides for the responsible officer to apply to the court to change a review without a hearing to a review with a hearing, and vice versa, in the case where a suspended sentence order contains a drug rehabilitation requirement.
805.The offender or the responsible officer can apply to the appropriate court (as defined in paragraph 13) under paragraph 18 to extend the 12 months limit on unpaid work if it is in the interests of justice to do so. This might occur if the offender fell ill during the 12 months and was unable to finish all of his hours of unpaid work in time.
806.Paragraphs 19 to 22 contain supplementary provisions. No application to cancel or amend the requirements a suspended sentence order, can be made if an appeal against the order is pending, except in the case of treatment requirements which the responsible officer has applied to the court to amend. Where a court is amending an order, and the application is not by the offender, the court must summon the offender to appear before the court and may issue a warrant if he does not appear. This does not apply if the court is cancelling a requirement. In amending any requirement the court must keep to the restrictions on the requirements that apply if the court was then making the order. Paragraph 22 sets out arrangements for sending copies of the order to relevant parties.

Up 'til now, most of our experiments revolved around applying new techniques and ingredients to Vietnamese cooking. Here's a new twist on that: using a Vietnamese herb to flavor Japanese soba noodles. Bird had picked up the Nobu cookbook specifically for its instructions on how to make soba noodles (jalapeno and cilantro-flavored soba noodles). This past weekend we finally worked on that recipe, but substituting in namesake herb rau om (rice paddy herb, Limnophila aromatic).
Making noodles:
(the recipe called for strong plain flour in addition to soba flour, but we didn't know what strong plain flour was so we used wheat flour instead. Will try to find strong plain flour next time)
(we are supposed to use a very thin rolling pin, but we didn't have such an equipment, so had to make do with our big, fat rolling pin)
We definitely needed more practice making soba noodles: the dough sheet needed to be a lot thinner and we needed to cut the noodles into thinner strands. But it was fun and we can't wait for more noodle-making. What we were most interested in, however, was to see if and how rau om flavor would stand up to soba noodles and dashi broth.
We paired our rau om soba noodles with the traditional soba broth of kombu dashi, bonito flakes, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. We were glad to see that lovely fragrance of rau om survived the noodle-making process. In addition, the floral scented noodles paired so well with the clean, sweet and refined soba broth, one might have thought rau om flavored soba were a native application of traditional ingredients. Our noodle making skills need more practice, but our minds are whirling at the possibilities rau om noodle has opened up.

Nurturing Fruit Trees In Your Home Garden
Fruit trees are charming in any garden and are pleasurable to observe. It certainly is a surprise how the once lifeless winter twigs are converted in the spring into clouds of blossom ready to turn into fruit later on.
Don't worry, there isn't anything secret and mystifying about cultivating fruit trees. Fruit trees have a few simple conditions to keep them in tip top condition that can easily be provided by just about anyone.
The Interval From The Autumn Months To The Spring Months
Safeguard the trees, especially the young ones by setting up a net around their base. A net or mesh prevents the bark being nibbled by rodents during the winter when these creatures will seek out alternative food sources.
In winter, sunshine reflecting off the snow's layer and warming up the trunk of your fruit tree (especially saplings) can damage or kill the tree. Paint the foot of the trunk by using a 50/50 mix of white latex paint and water as a safeguard. At night time, the cold air will surround the trunk and it will often crack it. This may be a dangerous situation, because those cracks are perfect places for pests that can eat your tree alive.
In the early spring, on a calm day with hardly any wind and the temperature 4 degrees C minimum, it's a good time for you to clean up your tree. Garden shears can be used to give the tree a nice shape but make sure to keep the crown of the tree free from growth and to give horizontal branches 10-15 cms space all round.
Neatly cut away any branches that are diseased or old and trim any shoots straight after they have appeared. The branches that grow out horizontally must be left uncut as you will be looking for these to bear fruit. Employ special equipment to check the heights of the trees and then cut the vertical branches to have the same length as the horizontal ones. This tends to secure the maximum return of fruit.
You should constantly soak your trees. A well watered tree could grow well and be capable to withstand the attacks of insects and diseases which is particularly important once the buds start to be visible on your tree. The true secret to getting a heavy crop of fruit on your tree is to keep on watering.
Make use of supports to steer the branches to make sure they grow straight. The branches that expand horizontally need to receive optimum light, as they will produce more fruits this way. In order to increase the productivity of the trees, you can spread them manually using the special devices or by linking them one to another using ropes. Having said that, you should always let the tree to grow naturally until the age of four.
To grow into fruit, the bloom must be pollinated by insects especially bees. You can make your trees produce more fruit by putting on a special substance that will attract them, but do this only after the sun has gone down or in the early morning.

Robertofiuza and His Weapon of Choice: Lomography Color Negative 4002014-03-06 3 6 Share Tweet
Roberto wanted to get redscale films during his visit to a Lomography shop in Amsterdam. Due to some twist of fate, the shop did not have stocks of it at that time. So, he ended getting rolls of Lomography Color Negative 400 instead.
Little did he know, this film is what he exactly needs to have a complete Lomography experience. Read on to find out more about robertofiuza and his Weapon of Choice – Lomography Color Negative 400!
Full name: Roberto Fiuza
LomoHome: robertofiuza
Location: Portugal
Weapon of Choice: Lomography Color Negative 400
Why is this camera/film your Weapon of Choice?
I am never disappointed with the results I get from the Lomography CN 400. I love the saturated colors. The sky is always really blue. This is also my favorite film for night photography.
Any memorable experiences you've had while using this Weapon of Choice?
If the city I am travelling to has a Lomography store in it, I always make sure I pay the shop a visit. When I went to the Amsterdam, I wanted to buy some redscale film but the store didn't have any at that time. The staff there were so nice. They gave me an empty 35 mm cassette and taught me how to make my own redscale film. I ended up buying some Lomography Color Negative 400 for the first time and used one roll during those vacations.
When I returned to Portugal, I completely forgot about that roll on my refrigerator. It was there for one more month. It was also the last one to be processed from that trip. After scanning the first frame from that roll, I was delighted! Since then, after any trip or vacation, I always leave one roll on my refrigerator to be developed one month after my return. :)
Would you recommend this to other Lomographers? If yes, to whom do you have in mind?
In general, the Lomography CN 400 is a great film to use. I would recommend it to anyone who wants their pictures to have super saturated colors. It is also a great film to use on cameras that don't have automatic features (toy cameras). Its ISO and exposure latitude allows you to use it in variety of lighting conditions, from sunny weather to overcast, making it an ideal film for simple cameras and inexperienced Lomographers. This is also a great film to redscale and shoot at ISO 100.
When using this, what are you favourite subjects to photograph and why?
For me my favourite subject is either landscapes on a day with a nice blue sky or night photography. When I do long exposures at night, I try to meter with the camera (up to 1 second) and do the math to make the exposure longer (I might go to 30s or 1 min). Then, I count out loud (yes I look like a crazy person with a really old camera and a shutter release cable talking to himself!) and the exposures always turn out perfect. Either I am really good at math and have perfect timing skills or this film is really forgiving and easy to work with. ;)

Omni kit skepticism
Ok so i understand the concept of the omni kit but are there any down falls to using it. could you slam 06+ using the kit or is it only for stuts and shocks. Can coilovers be adapted to it? I just started reading into these the other day so i am not really sure about it
It's literally just a sleeve that goes around the bottom of the strut housing. It doesn't matter if the strut is a standalone part or one of the components of a coilover system.
What exactly is the difference in the mounting between years. I always thought there was a different pattern on the strut tower
nothing is different mounting wise.its just the shim kit needed. wife has it on her 07 and shes running the saleen racecraft(eibach pro-kit) suspension.
The bottom of the strut was designed to be bigger around for 06-07. In order to make 00-05 struts fit, you just need to add some extra width, hence the omni-kit.
The 06+ struts have a bigger base diameter, therefore the hole in the knuckle that the strut fits into is also larger. 00-05 struts have smaller diameter bases that can be used on an 06+ with the Omni kit which is a shim that fills the gap that would otherwise be there. The only caveat is that an 06 spring also has a different seat configuration and cannot be used on an 00-05 strut and vice versa.
I'm currently running this kit to go with my Megan Racing coilovers, and i've yet to have any problems with it, just make sure the sleeve is snug against the strut mount or the strut is liable to fall out, which again i've not had any problems with. just trust in your focus man :]

"This is my older 336-A in 35 Remington. Note absence of white line spacers. Raised comb for scope use."
Yours is one of the 336's made between 1957 and 1962 which were fitted with the raised Monte Carlo comb butt stock designed by Bishop Gunstocks; and yes, that gun was originally shipped with a white-line butt plate and pistol grip cap plastic spacer (see Julia photo below of an experimental 336-A chambered in 250 Savage; actually named the Model 3000 after its 3000ft/sec 250 Sav chambering). The ADL version of the 336A from the 1957-1962 period came with fancy grained Monte Carlo combed stocks with a raised check piece; and looked something like this:Marlin 336A.jpgleft side full view.jpg
I too have a '73 vintage 336-A/35 Rem; and although it's an OK gun and will fill a niche in my collection until I can do better; this model isn't the same quality of the early vintage A/ADL models, and will have a new home as soon as I have the opportunity to replace that gun with a 1957-1962 vintage ADL in 35 Rem.
Thats sure some pretty wood Rachethead,,But dont think I could ever call any marlin 35,just O.K!
Course" Im no collector.
I use mine,There hunters like me.
And theres none better for putting a whitetail to sleep.Specialy" with me behind it
Been trying to wear out my old craved up uglych.jpgch1.jpgch2.jpg 59 model ever since Ive had it(around 30 years)And its killed atleast a couple ever year Ive had it.
Sometimes 6 or 8.
But its ready to go ever time I amTo me(as a hunter) that says it all!
Best 100 dollars I ever spent..

Guns dont kill people.Dads with pretty Daughters do..
GR, I believe you're just trying to pull our respective chains here, as surely you DON"T want us to believe that you actually paid $100 for that "thing" thirty years ago when $100 was like $300 nowadays? Heck, I was buying brand new Marlin levers 30 years ago for a $100; what were you smoking? Surely the real truth is that this "custom stock job" was done while the previous owner was high on something; and when he sobered up, PAID YOU to take that piece off his hands so he wouldn't be forced to look at the piece and be reminded of his folly! Over my many years now I've had the misfortune to see a lot of ugly guns; but yours may be the ugliest of the lot. One would tend to believe that you, as an admirer of the fine Marlin lever rifle, would take pity on the old gal; and simply out of respect, replace those crapped out stocks with a set a bit more befitting her appearance? And although a dead deer is a dead deer, I'm sure if these four-legged creatures could speak; they tell you to a deer that, since you just had to shoot them, the very least you could do was to be respectful enough of their personal sacrifices that you could shoot them with something other than this butt-ugly gun. Therefore I encourage you exercise greater respect for our esteemed quarry, the whitetail deer; and to also be a bit more mindful of the negative impact inflicted upon the eyes of our esteemed membership when they accidentally click on a thread showing that butt-ugly aberation.

Yep" paid a hundred dollars for it and 85 rounds of ammo with a hunting knife and hunting stool throwed in for boot.
Sure did,,Close to 30 years anyway.Bought a fox b model dbl shotgun from the same guy a year later,with all his shells for another hundred.
Took another old 35 Image0 (20).jpgI gave 150 for(my mauser) right after I wrote that this mornin,For a little scouting.
Ended up bein work

P.s. Aint no tellin what I was smoking back then.Heck" that could of been involed in the trade also for boot

102_04822.jpgI dearly love a fine piece of walnut,(Check out that stock on my 99 stickin out of that rifle boot in the pic with the A model)But aint a messin with my "MoJo" Rachethead
Im willing to bet there aint many thats killed more deer.
Might just be from its blame looks
But Ill take em
Its kinda like me,ugly as all get out,But well known in these parts as being fairly dangerous
Back when I used to race cars,we had a sayin,,If it want run "Crome it"!
But thats truely a pretty rifle you have.And no doubt worth alot of money..
But dont even ask,Cause I aint a tradin
Guns dont kill people.Dads with pretty Daughters do..
I've killed a lot of dear in my years of hunting, but I've never killed one with a 35 Marlin; might happen this year, who knows?. Not that I haven't hunted with one of the 6 or 8 35's I've owned over the years; it's just that one never "stepped out" when I had a 35 in my hands. On the other hand, my BIL has killed truck loads of deer with his old 35 Marlin; and if he'd ever carved on its stocks back in those days when he was drinking a lot, it'd probably look just like yours. I will confess however, that I do like my guns to look pretty good because I figured out long ago that I actually spend more time looking at my guns than I do shooting them; but don't think for a minute that I'd be afraid to take a nice gun hunting for fear of scratching up a nice stock!Marlin.32 Special.Doe.10.22.11..jpgGobler & Smith.04.2010.jpg
Never thought for a minute.Im just a poor ol Country boy.
Cant afford alot.
Mine want never win a contest for looks.You pointed that out very well.
But they dont take a backseat when it comes to feeding the family.(Takes alot of meat to keep this train a running
)Sure hope one gives ya a chance to see a 35 perform oneday.
There aint nothing like it.Ive hammered em with 45/70s and 444s.But a 35 will flat out put a hurtin on em.
But to be honest,, my 7mags with scopes are being took more and more.(there ugly too,even the weatherby) And ladderstands,tripods,pipelines and powerlines are starting to replace tree stumps,still hunting and levers with peeps as I grow older.But at 50 Im still willing,and able.
Take care of them great rifles of yours buddy.There something to be proud of for sure.
You sure you wouldnt want atleast one ugly duckling rifle?you might be surpised.might end up bein the best shooter you have!
I mean after all Mama kept me
Even when the circus was offerin her all that cash for me when I was a baby
Take care,

"sure hope one gives ya a chance to see a 35 perform oneday. There aint nothing like it.Ive hammered em with 45/70s and 444s.But a 35 will flat out put a hurtin one".
Friend, You ain't hammered a deer with a traditional lever rifle until you hammer one with a 338MX!
"And ladderstands,tripods,pipelines and powerlines are starting to replace tree stumps,still hunting and levers with peeps as I grow older.But at 50 Im still willing,and able"
Be sure to enjoy being 50; being 60 ain't near as much fun!

Rust removal and some pitting from metal
Hi I have this 1950's texaco metal truck that's been handed down in my family. It's got some rust on it. I have sanded and wire brushed it. After I did that I noticed some pitting. My father passed away and I want to restore this to original. Anyone have any ideas on how to clean it up before I paint it? I can take pictures later if that helps.
Sorry to hear about your loss and I understand how valuable some of these items can be to a family. I do have several questions that would need to be answered so I can give you the best advice possible.
Are we talking about a toy metal truck? Or is it a full sized tanker?
Do you have paint equipment like a gun and compressor or assuming it's a toy truck, where you planning on using rattle can paint?
Is there rust still in the pits? Or where they not that deep and where you able to sand the rust out?
Pictures would help.
Just need a bit more information to give you the best advice.
And welcome to the forum, will try and help where ever I can.
It sounds like the rust etched into the metal and caused the metal to be pitted. Unfortunately, the only way to resolve that would be to use a filler to fill in the rough area, sand and paint, or... if there is enough metal, you could grind the the rusted area as smooth as possible without sanding through the metal, then primer and paint. If you paint it with the pitting, it will mostly likely show throw. You can also try a filler type of primer which is thick and may fill in the imperfections before you paint.

Its a toy truck.
OK so we are working on a toy and the pits are fairly deep and filled with rust....If you look in the yellow pages for a sandblaster or media blaster he could remove the rest of the paint and the rust and give your metal an even profile. Because it's a toy they wouldn't charge very much, I'd say between $15 and $30 (not knowing the size of the truck I would say $30 is on the high side. With your metal's profile now being even you would need to prime the metal, i still don't know if you have painting equipment so I'm going to assume that you don't and are going to use aerosol cans of primer and paint. Apply several coats of primer, and sand with a fine grit of paper after it has dried...something like a 320 or 400 grit. If you still have pits after it's been primed and sanded, prime it again, let it dry and sand it again, repeat the process until the surface that you want to paint is smooth....once it's smooth, paint away.
Hope this helps.
dip it in a bath of molasses.. first
Sorry ray. I don't have any spray equipment yet. I plan on purchasing some. Abby suggestions or Any gun can work? I figured id have to get it sandblasted. Just didn't know if there were any other ways, or something I needed to do beforehand
If your not in a hurry and you leave it with a sandblaster I think it would be fairly cheap, if he could blast it while he's doing a bigger job.
As far as equipment goes, I hope your planing on painting more than your truck because it can get expensive...you can purchase a paint gun cheap enough from Harbor Freight but a compressor is going to cost a lot of cash no matter how you look at it. Let me know if your still planning on purchasing a paint gun and other equipment and I will try and walk you through what you might need.
What type of paint where you planning on using? This can get quite expensive as well...if memory serves me correctly, Texaco's colors where Red, White and Green so just so you know, if you where thinking of using automotive paints, Red is costly.
But let me know and i'll help you wherever I can.
Best regards
h/d and lowe rent compressors that would be plenty big enough to spray the toy..
harbor frieght guns are always on sale,
I bought 2 for 24 bucks for both.. for when I paint small stuff..
Thanks. This is all new to me. I want it to be original so red and white. But is it straight red and white, or different shade? What would be best way to make it look like new? Automotive paint? My goal is to get it done and build a cabinet for it. Wood I know about, this metal work and painting I'm learning. I don't plan to go pro and start hot rodding so a decent gun from hf will do. I have 6gal compressor in my shed.
This is the best way but unfortunately it's expensive.This is one of those cases that if you want automotive paint on your truck it may be cheaper to bring it to a body shop and have them paint it because they can mix a small amount of paint and you wouldn't need to buy more paint than you need or a paint gun...so unless you can find a place that sells enamel factory pack Texaco colors, it could get expensive.
If you go the automotive paint route, every paint jobber has an economy line of paint, PPG has Omni, Dupont has Nason, this may save you a bit of cash but still costly.
I'm in Canada but I can make a few calls locally to some jobber's I know and see if there is a more economical way to go and get back to you tomorrow. If there is I'm sure that it would be available to you where you live. Or perhaps someone on the forum has a solution.
Let me know if you want me to check it out and I'll get back to tomorrow.
Best regards
reds gonna be costly anyways as it has gold in it..
here they'll mix a 1/2 pint..
if you can get the texaco red formula you ould mix your own krylon or rustolum as you'd have the amounts and colors added to the base red,
as seen as it mostlikely isn't going to be near other texaco items or sold.. 100% texaco matching colors most likely isn't needed.. as most won't spot the difference.. now if you are going to shows with it.. that be different..
also the white, isn't mostlikely straight white..
best way if going with auto type paint, have other things ready to paint when you spray the red and white, so you don't waste the rest of the product..
to give you an idea.. when I did my engine bay, I sprayed it, then sprayed my steel wheels , as I wasn't sure how much product I'd need, a pro can eyeball it, and know.. but running out midway through sucks..lol
when I spry my engine brackets, my bulkhead doors for the house will get sprayed at the same time.. and I'll waste zero product..
How old is the toy? Is it a collectible?
It's probably too late now but if it's an antique you should of left the toy with it's original patina. A light coat of rust converter would have been the best option along with some gentle cleaning. The converter would have turned the soft red rust to a hard black oxide. Repainting an antique toy kills about half it's value. On the other hand if you'll be keeping it in the family then resale value is not an issue. I'm sure it'll look great after painting.
Would love to see overall pics!
Hey sorry for late reply. Wow I didnt know auto paint was that expensive. There is a body shop across from my work. I might try to get quote today. Im not worried about resale, I'm keeping it in the family.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ----- The UAB football team returned to the practice field Tuesday afternoon, working out for just short of two hours, in preparation of Saturday's 2013 Homecoming Game against Middle Tennessee.
The contest with the Blue Raiders will kick off at 12:05 p.m. at Legion Field and will be televised by Fox Sports Net. The game can also be heard on the Blazer IMG Sports Network and on WUHT-FM 107.7 in Birmingham.
The Blazers (2-5, 1-2 Conference USA) are coming off a 52-31 loss at UTSA last Saturday. But Saturday's contest against Middle Tennessee (4-4, 2-2 C-USA) gives UAB an opportunity to even its league record.
"You have to regroup and go back to the drawing board," offensive coordinator Richard Owens said after Tuesday's session. "You have to correct what didn't work and you have to build on a new gameplan and have to try to execute at the highest level."
Owens also commented on the level of comfort the Blazers' offensive players have with senior quarterback Jonathan Perry, who will make his first start of the season Saturday.
"He's been around these guys for awhile," Owens said. "I think the players will rally around him. Obviously, we're going to have to use two guys so I would imagine that Austin would come in, too, but we'll see how the flow of the game goes."
For more information on the UAB football team as well as Saturday's game, follow the Blazers on Twitter (@UABAthletics) and on the web (www.UABSports.com).

In anticipation of the opening of their new grand stage, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium's 'Heart of Africa' exhibit, 11 giraffes have been training for their end of what figures to be a one-of-a-kind experience for patrons. Messer is leading construction of the new exhibit, expected to open this summer, which among its many unique features will allow patrons to feed the giraffes.
Turns out, though, that giraffes are shy animals by nature, so getting them to open up to strangers is quite the… tall… task.
"It takes time for them to get acclimated with people," said Adam Felts, assistant curator at the Zoo. "They are very shy animals; they don't necessarily like to be touched. So we spend a lot of time with our volunteers and our docents just standing up here feeding them."
While a few details, like feeding times and frequency, still need to be sorted out, it's clear the exhibit will add to what is already considered one of the top zoos in the country.
"Columbus has been asking, 'Where are your giraffe and zebra?' for the last eight years," Felts said, "and (now) they're here."
In addition to giraffes and zebras, 'Heart of Africa' will feature several other animals, including cheetahs, monkeys and lions. Fourteen new buildings, ranging from a café to animal-housing structures, are being erected for the exhibit.
Covering more than 35 acres, one of the exhibit's most unique aspects is the scope of its landscaping, as 5,456 plants and 583 trees (60 are "large trees") are being added in addition to more than 1,500 pounds of grass seed and 13,000 bags of mulch.

Yes. You can still use your Stata 7 and in fact, as I understand it, it will still receive technical support. Stata historicaly has provided free technical support to the both the new version and the one before. However new updates will only be maded to the newest Stata. In this case both Stata 7 and Stata 8 will be supported, but only Stata 8 will be updated as corrections or enhancements are maded.

Gonna have to try this! Sounds heavenly!!!
Black Forest Cake!!! I know I'll be trying that.
I made one with punkin pie filling with a carrot cake very good just mix together and bake.
Sounds like a Weight Watcher recipe. You can use any flavor of pie filling; and, of course, if you're a WW, you use "light".
Wow - this couldn't be more simple. Going to try it with the blueberry pie filling which I have on hand right now. Thanks for sharing your find............
WoW All the ansers to this thread Are Good! My Cake Was Great! I DiD Use the Lite Cherry filling. It Did Puff up in my 9x13 But it did not flow Over Thank god!
QuiltE, Thank you for So many good Ideas: Black Forest, and I've never made real Angel cake didn't know you hang it upside down? :D
AND 'Roberta' a Big Thank you For starting Us ALL on this Fantastic Cake Walk! LoL:thumbup:
For an angel cake pan, depending on the hole size, it may fit over a soda bottle.
If not, you can do it by arranging some tin cans to hold the pan while it cools.
Likewise for other shapes of pans.
Let me be clear on this one. Do you mix the angel food cake according to directions and then fold in the pie filling? And what about the pineapple one--do you drain the juice from that before adding? They all sound wonderful.

Date of Stay: June, 2010
Beautiful area surrounding park. Grounds are well kept. We were able to get satellite signal with no problem. Coaches over 38ft would have to be pulled across bridge and backed in, as we did in our 45ft coach with no problem. You also will be exiting the same way. We have stayed here many years, in a 36 foot coach towing car and then forty five feet. (A car has to be unhooked, to back into the park, for coaches over 38'). Very friendly owners. Would give a ten if this bridge was easier to navigate.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
First class RV park! Has super nice staff and owner. Our coach is forty five feet and we had no problem getting around this park. It's a brand new park with easy on and off access close to interstate. There's some road noise but could not hear it in the coach. Close to all the Golden Islands, St. Simon's, Jekyll Island and Sea Island. There's no other park in the area like this. The lake stocked with fish and paddle boat's are available. There's a nice store on site. We felt safe at night as the park was well lighted. Has concrete pad and paved roads. Can't think of a thing they left out. Will definitely go back again.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
A beautiful RV resort with tennis courts, pool, hot tub and a nice lounge that is as brand new as are restrooms. The entire park has canopy of old oaks and lots of palms and tropical vegetation. The Saturday breakfast buffet with fresh cut fruit and all breakfast foods you would find at a restaurant with out leaving the park. Friendly office staff with an escort to and from site. Even have a staging area to unhook your car. There's a super market, drug store, Starbucks and car wash all with in walking distance. A one of a kind RV resort that would be hard to beat. Will definitely be back again.

Residents recount Highway 89 flash flood, road workers continue cleanup
GARDINER, Mont. - Harry Miller and his wife Linda live on Highway 89, just outside of Corwin Springs near Gardiner. Miller tells me he was in Bozeman when he got a call from Linda.
"She told me it was raining really hard and my drainage was barely taking water and she thought something was going to happen," explains Miller.
Fifteen minutes later, Linda called back -- something did happen. She told him the road was impassible.
"I'm praying that my drainage that I've done on my own works and that this ditch holds in here," recounts Miller.
The couple took me to the top of a hill to get a better look at the path of the slide that washed over the road. Miller calls it a gully washer and tells me he's seen several since he moved in almost 40 years ago.
"It just gathers the water that hits and if it's a cloud burst and it dumps two inches of rain up there, it all headwaters in this creek...it comes right on down through this and it just gathers rocks, there's 4-foot rocks down there...When you step outside, you can hear it coming down through here," says Miller.
Standing on the side of the road, you can see where mud and water flattened grass in its path.
"When our crews responded there was anywhere from three to seven feet of rock and debris all the way across the roadway," says Montana Department of Transportation's Bozeman Maintenance Superintendent Steve Felix.
Felix chats with Miller about their progress.
He tells me close to an inch and a half of rain fell in just 15 minutes, sending the slide shooting down the ditch and across the road.
"We probably got four to five thousand cubic yards of material to move out of here so we can evaluate the culvert that's plugged underneath," says Felix.
Residents like Miller say they hope the Montana Department of Transportation will take a close look at that culvert before the next gully washer.
Miller saw little damage to his property. We're told neighbors had minimal damage to private property but there was no damage to homes.
Montana Department of Transportation crews from Helena will take a look at the roadway to ensure there's no permanent damage.
Crews in the Paradise Valley worked around moving traffic Thursday to try to clear rocks and debris from the roadway. Road workers tell us they hope to be close to wrapping up by the beginning of the week. Until then, you can expect delays of 5-10 minutes.

Very early corn planting
If weather permits, many corn producers will feel a strong desire to start planting very early. Fieldwork is advanced in some areas and March was dry, but memories of serious planting delays in 1993 are a major factor. It may be a very hard sell, but my best advice is to plan for a more normal spring in 1994. Switching from proven practices implies knowledge of what the unique weather conditions in 1994 will be, but the record for such assumptions isnt very good.
Many factors can influence the optimum date in a given year. For an additional discussion of this, see page 33 of the April 23, 1993 Integrated Crop Management newsletter. Long-term studies have pinpointed the late April-early May period as ideal in much of Iowa. It usually pays to have corn planting finished by May 10 to 15. The question of when to start is more difficult because it involves more than a date on the calendar. If I had to select the best date for a typical Iowa corn field, I would select the last week of April. Obviously, there are locations where and years when this may not be the case. For this discussion, the issue is how much earlier than the last week of April should planting start if conditions permit? The tactful answer is that depends.
The on what in this case includes yield expectations, soil conditions, and number of planting days needed. On average, yields for a week on either side of this period should not be greatly different, assuming soil conditions are desirable. The main issue is soil moisture. Is it too wet to have equipment in the field? Although Im not a big fan of using soil temperature to determine whether to plant the last week of April and not at all in May, it may be a factor to consider in early to mid-April. Do consider that soil temperature can fluctuate greatly. It may be 55F one day and 45F a week later, or vice versa.
But what if soil conditions are ideal relative to moisture and temperature? How much earlier than what I consider to be the ideal week do I start? I suggest that you consider the number of planting days needed. If you can plant the entire acreage in a couple of days, why not do it the last week of April? If it takes four or five days, it may make sense to start around April 20. In a normal spring, you can be in the field about half of the days. Those who need considerably more planting days may choose to start during the April 15 to 20 period in northern Iowa and April 10 to 15 period in southern Iowa. Earlier planting would work in many years, but the risk of uneven stands and possible replants seems greater than necessary.
If you start planting very early, the least risk would likely be with well-drained upland soils where the prior crop was soybeans. Also be sure seed quality is high. This is the place to use your full season hybrids. Whether or not very early planting is even possible will depend on weather prior to April 20. Certainly no one wants a repeat of the late planting of 1993, but there could be a tendency to overreact on the early side in 1994.

How would you celebrate Valentine's Day?
Valentine's Day is round the corner. Many are those to conjure up all their romantic energy to come up with the perfect way to treat their loved one - be it a rose, a special gift or a candle-lit dinner.
Then there are those who choose not to give in to the commercial pressures brought about by this day, quoting the mantra that love should be expressed 365 days a year.
Claudia Calleja stopped people in Valletta and asked them if they celebrate Valentine's Day and how. She also asked whether there should be a day dedicated to love. The replies varied but all agreed that love should be celebrated… one day or another.

Evening All,
Haven't been on here for a while, so thought I'd post a quick thread on the events of last sunday!
M62, middle lane, 70mph+ and my carbon splitter decides to detach itself from the front of the car, I got the fright of my life, as it shot underneath my car & out the back, last I saw it was bouncing towards the hard shoulder!
I'll be having words with the garage that fitted it 5 months ago!! Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Furthermore the wife did ask if I'd be getting another one with a smug grin, as I drove like miss daisy the last 40 miles home, praying the car wasn't damaged, thankfully it seems to be fine.
Can't decide if it worth getting another full front splitter or maybe something similar to the corner splitters from the BMW Performance range, let me know your thoughts?
All the best

Ever since I've moved to Penang, I've stopped writing. Maybe I'm scare, maybe I didn't want anyone to know my thoughts.
But, today,
I've decided to write again, because i wanted to jot down every single little thing that had happened. I'm afraid 10 years down the road, i might forget, forget my dog. Jasmine.
The background, how she came into my life.
13 years ago, mommy got sick and left me. Breast cancer. I thought i was strong but i went into depression unknowingly until everything fell apart. I broke up with my bf, i failed every single subject in that semester and i lose weight.
Jasmine came into picture, she was a 3 months old pup. She lived with me until i moved to Penang for my 1st job. Things didn't went well, and she had to live with my dad in KL, she was 4 years old. 5 years later, she moved back to Penang and lives with Shawn and I, on September 2015.
On April this year, we celebrated her 10th birthday and we thought she will live forever until 1 week later, she was brought to the vet because of breathing/snorting heavily after an evening walk. Unusual, she snorted the entire night, it was so loud that it could wake up the buffaloes.
We brought her to HOPE Vet in Sg. Nibong on the next day.
Suspect phlegm built up in the chest. It was a brief diagnosis because Jasmine wasn't helping at all, she didn't allow the doctor to touch her or even go near her.
we went back with a bag of pills, mainly antibiotics, a 10 days course.
10 days later, we brought her back. This time, she was very cooperative, she allowed doctors to examine her, of course, with her muzzle, or else she might have drained the doctor's blood. Unfortunately, we found lumps at her breast, not good :(
The lumps, there is no way to confirm if they are benign tumors (non cancerous) or malignant tumor (cancerous) unless they were surgically removed and tested. Hence, we did a full blood test on Jasmine, and found out something. Her white blood cells count is abnormally high and red blood cells count is low, not good :(
We brought her back to the vet yet again, to check out on the blood report. We don't know the root cause since there is no infection found in her.
But, while doing ultra-sound, doctor saw something. Jasmine's heart is weak, it was pumping fast and soft, on top of that, there is blood leaking through her heart vault, not good :(
It was a lengthy discussion with Doctor Joshua, and we have decided not to remove the tumors.
1st, with her heart condition, she might not survive through GA (General Anesthesia).
2ndly, even if she survives through the surgery, and the tumors are tested to be malignant, she will need to go through chemotherapy. Let's not talk about the side effects of that, nobody likes chemo! Even with all these unpleasant treatments, chances are, she will only survives 50-70weeks post surgery. Dogs are different from human, breast cancer usually comes back in months time, longest 1- 2 year's time.
3rdly, Jasmine's whitebloodcell count and redbloodcell count will make her recovery slower than average dog, that means if she goes under surgery, she might die before the cuts are recovered.
so yeah, without surgery she might live longer and most importantly, without pain.
Jasmine, she might not have much time left, but she will be loved and pampered and she will be remembered as a happy little dog.
