Thank you very much mate, it's taken many years, blood, sweat and tears to get her to this stage.
Look forward to viewing your pics.
Well its a bit later than planned but heres sum pics.
Welcome steveyboy..... thats a very nice looking standard example of a 318i m8, are yu thinkin about modifiying it? If so you have joined a very good website with lots of friendly people who know alot about these cars.
I also have a 318i 5 door and I love it. If you have any questios mate feel free to ask.
Tidy looking saloon you got there Stevey
Very clean indeed.
Have you considered replacing the orange indicators?
Clear indicator and side repeaters and M style rear lenses would appear to make the vehicle to look even fresher. Then you could consider replacing the side mouldings for the M-Tech type and colour code the jacking point covers.
Just a couple of things to consider....
Very clean example you have there. I like it and i'm not a huge fan of red usually
Thanks for your comments ppl glad you like it too. Yeah, im thinking of modifyin it, wana put a nice stereo in it first... yeah i was thinkin about clear indicators, and the side jacking things are pissing me off that one side is black!Then prob some wheels, can anyone tell me whats the biggest size wheels that go straight on? At the minute theyre just standard 205/60 15s. Any help would be much appreciated as this my first proper car so im a bit clueless!

A high street was swamped with water from a burst water main causing transport chaos across London.
Firefighters helped Thames Water control the gallons of muddy-brown water flooding through Ealing Broadway on Sunday morning.
The London Fire Brigade said about 30 shops were affected by the flooding and firefighters were helping to pump the water away, using sandbags to control the flow.
Several London Underground stations were also closed due to flooding caused by torrential rain.
Key commuter stations Euston Square and Paddington were closed, as well as Turnpike Lane, Golders Green and Bayswater station.
The rain forced organisers of The RideLondon race to shorten the London to Surrey route by 14 miles.

Cyclists missed out a section covering Leith Hill and Box Hill in Surrey.
Forecasters warned southern parts of the UK would be affected by tropical storm Hurricane Bertha.
The former hurricane tore through the Caribbean early last week and has travelled over the Atlantic to the UK, bringing the threat of floods in its wake.

The Met Office has increased the number of flood alerts to 34, spanning all of Britain apart from the north west.
Rachael Vince, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: "It is more of an autumnal storm. The rainfall is fairly persistent over the Midlands, north east and north west of England. While there is more showery rain in the south and west of England and Wales."
Chief meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: "Rain and strong winds may well bring disruption, especially across southern parts of the UK, with the potential for more than 50mm of rain and coastal gusts of over 60mph."
Environment Minister George Eustice said: "We are working closely with the Flood Forecasting Centre, the Environment Agency, Local Authorities and emergency services to ensure we are prepared for any potential flooding this weekend.
"I urge people to remain vigilant and pay close attention to advice from the Environment Agency and emergency services."Reuse content

Bathroom remodel- Tiling around the Shower question..
So.. we are completely redoing a bathroom rental unit of ours and have torn everything except the ceiling out down to the studs. Plumbing and everything has been redone. We just started to put up green board today and I read another post which actually got me to doubting my skills. I've done a lot of tiling before, however from what I gather... I've only ever put water retardant materials up, and no waterproof barriers. I've done several bathroom remodels and tile jobs around the tub/showers before, but I wanted to verify if the following is okay to do, or if there's something else that I should consider doing.
Studs have the green board go up all around (we're using 5/8"). Next I would use plastic or roofing felt around where the tiling will go, followed by hardibacker, with grouting the seams with alkali resistant tape and thinset. Following that, the tile goes on, then grouting, then sealing the grout.
Is there anything I'm missing... or will this generally be fine? From all the how to and videos and everything I've ever seen, heard or done, I think this is generally all that's needed (plus caulking and so forth, obviously) but I just was curious.
My father has owned these apartments for the last several decades and I'll be following suit and just want to know if I'll ever have to worry about the tile jobs in the future.. since from what I read, the only reason tiling should go bad is that the building shifts and cracks it. Not sure if location has an impact on installations, but I'm in West Los Angeles, so we don't get drastic temperature changes around here if that's a factor in anything.
I think using something like RedGard is easier then to put up the felt. If you're using cement board - you dont put up any other wall behind it - no green board needed. If you were going to use the roofing stuff, you would put that behind the cement board. You're right about the thinset and tape
Video here:
PDF here:
Comments from the forum pros...let us know what you think.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the input so far, I'll look into those things. The issue is that we already installed all of the green board and it was 5/8" instead of the typical 1/2" hardi which normally goes up and it was done because it was an older bathroom/tub which was installed 50 or more years ago. We were keeping the tub, but the issue was that if I only used 1/2", even furred out to 5/8", that it would have maybe just barely extended beyond the lip of the tub on each side to the areas it should have been. The combo with drywall and cement board and tile brings it out just enough. We've done it this way before, but I was just curious about some sort of waterproofing which sounds like RedGuard is the thing to look at.
Green board in a shower was in fact outlawed by building codes some years ago. In this case green board should be fine when installed as described with cement board on top of it but the cement board must be separated from the green board by roofing felt or poly. So far so good.
Now coating the cement board with Redgard would be a mistake in that it can cause moisture/condensation to develop within the wall. It may be wiser to forgo the roofing felt/poly concept and simply coat the cement board with Redgard. That would be my choice.:)
You don't "grout" the cement board seams. You would however use thinset on them along with alkali resistant tape. Allow the seams to dry and then coat everything with Redgard.:)
Did I say grout the cement board seams? I know cement board is thinset + alkali tape.. >< Must have been tired. I had no idea that it was outlawed in building codes- thanks for the heads up. Is redguard obtainable from places like Home Depot or Lowe's?
(OHHH, I just reread it.. haha, grouting the seams. I meant filling in the seams of the cement board with the tape and thinset, as in you fill the seams or the lines between tiles with grout. I totally worded my original statement the wrong way :P)
Redgard is available at Home Depot and maybe some Ace Hardware Stores.
There are other products the same as Redgard. Mapei has HPG and you can get it at Menard's. Laticrete has Hydroban and Floor and Wall Waterproofing and Product 9235, so if Lowe's sells Laticrete products you can get those products from them. Some will be special order. There are many of them on the market.
I think I've heard of DalTile selling Laticrete so I'd be inclined to go with that brand, however I will definitely look into reviews on both. I'll also double check how far into the dry walling the shower went, on the off-chance that something could be salvaged if it's a huge deal breaker on a long lasting tile job. Thanks for the info!
Just thought I'd mention that you should check that your walls are level and plumb before tiling, you're not going to be able to fix that after without destroying everything....

President Obama got in on the "It's gonna be May" meme when he posted this pic of himself and Justin Timberlake on his Facebook page on April 30.
Barack Obama has previously wished he had the political skills demonstrated on House of Cards. "I wish things were that ruthlessly efficient," he said. "It's like Kevin Spacey, man this guy's getting a lot of stuff done."
Yes, the president bows at the altar of Yeezus. "Kanye's music is outstanding," Barack Obama has said. "I've got a lot of his stuff on my iPad."
Bruce Springsteen campaigned for Barack Obama in 2012, and they were snapped hugging on stage.
Breaking Bad just ended its run, and Obama has said he's planning to binge watch it now that the whole series is available.
Beyonce sang "At Last" at the first Inaugural Ball in 2009, followed by the "Star-Spangled Banner" at Barack Obama's inauguration in 2013.
When asked his favorite TV show in 2012, President Barack Obama said it was political thriller Homeland.
During the 2012 election, Barack Obama's Instagram account posted this pic of an inspirational quote on the wall of his campaign offices. Most Friday Night Lights will recognize those lines as the football team's slogan.
Barack Obama demonstrated his relaxed, fun attitude when he sang a line of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" at the podium of a fundraiser in 2012.
Barack Obama's all-time best pop-culture reference? His fantastic Mean Girls joke, of course.

Perhaps it is being a touch melodramatic but when Lauren Boyle steps on the starting blocks for the 400m and 800m freestyle at the world swimming championships in Barcelona, Swimming New Zealand's future funding goes on the pool's black line.
The sport is on a one-year post-Olympic trial with $1.4 million added to the governing body's high-performance budget (a drop from the $1.65 million received each year of the previous Games cycle).
The sport's "targeted" status was removed with the lack of an Olympic medal for what will extend to 20 years by Rio de Janeiro.
High Performance Sport New Zealand had also sought representation in five finals; Boyle made two on her lonesome. The HPSNZ funding blurb vaguely referred to the sport "making a positive change following an all of sport review".
A campaign reprieve was just a few strokes out of reach. Boyle came fourth in the 800m freestyle, 2.4s from bronze.
After years of controversy within SNZ's administrative and competitive ranks, Boyle further helped restore the sport's reputation at December's short-course (25m pool) world championships in Turkey by claiming gold in the 800m freestyle (New Zealand's first since Moss Burmester in the 200m butterfly in 2008) and bronze in the 400m.
Boyle joined an elite club entitled "New Zealand athletes almost single-handedly maintaining the wellbeing of their sport" when she won those medals.
Lisa Carrington and Marina Erakovic are arguably doing the same with canoeing and tennis respectively. There have been past examples - rower Rob Waddell circa 1998-2000; boxer David Tua for most of the 1990s through to his 2000 heavyweight title fight with Lennox Lewis and Danyon Loader at the 1996 Olympics.
Boyle tries to keep it in perspective. "I'm honoured to be thought of in this light. I think I have had good performances over the last few years in spite of challenging situations and that's what has put me in this position. I have maintained a similar mindset and I think that's why I'm still successful.
"I don't take my position for granted and I well know what it takes to get to this level."
At 25, Boyle is believed to be keen to race until at least next year's Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Extending her career to the next Olympics might be a stretch.
As a result, SNZ owes Boyle its support. Sensibly a significant proportion of the $1.4 million appears to have been allocated towards her needs, although SNZ could not retain the services of her former coach Mark Regan.
Other swimmers such as breaststroker Glenn Snyders, backstroker Gareth Kean and freestyler Matt Stanley have shown potential but Boyle has had the lion's share of success at major meets.
Stanley has since been elevated to bronze in the 400m freestyle at the short-course world championships when a fellow competitor failed a drugs test.
In fairness to SNZ, medals are hard to secure at the long-course (50m) world championships.
They are coveted second only to the Olympics. Gold has been beyond reach since the meet's inception in 1973. Loader claimed a silver and two bronze in 1994, Anthony Mosse earned a silver in 1986 and a current team coach, Gary Hurring, took a silver in 1978.
Boyle stands a good chance of making the podium. Given past records, such achievement would be extraordinary by a New Zealander, even in a post-Olympic year.
Boyle's best 800m and 400m freestyle performances both came three weeks ago in France.
She clocked 8 min 23.08 for the 800m - 0.36s outside the personal best she set in the Olympic final. The time ranks her third in the world.
Her four minutes 04.24 for the 400m places her fourth on the 2013 list; it was 0.61s outside her national record, also achieved in London.
To put the performance in context, Boyle threatened Olympic champion Camille Muffat. Muffat, racing at home, edged ahead in the closing laps to win by 0.15s. Boyle was also third in the 200m freestyle.
Add an altitude camp in the vicinity of Spain's Sierra Nevada national park to Boyle's regime and it should make for intriguing viewing. Well, it would, but it is unlikely to be shown live on New Zealand television ...
Boyle says she has benefited from the competitive build-up.
"It was a good chance to race some of the world's top swimmers in my events.
"I think the racing in France has helped me with my state of mind going into the worlds. It has enabled me to trust my preparation.
"The high-altitude training camp also provided a good amount of work. I was glad to have a skilled coach up there in David [new head coach David Lyles].
"He was helpful and made sure we didn't destroy ourselves completely too close to the competition."
Other Kiwis who might be worth livestreaming for strong performances in Olympic events include Snyders in the 100m breaststroke (ranked 10th in 2013), Kean in the 100m backstroke (ranked 13th) and Stanley in the 200m (ranked 19 in 2013) and 400m (ranked 18th) freestyle.

Front windshield wiper issue
A few years back, my wife let her friend borrow the jeep in a snow storm to get to work. Anyway, when she got out, instead of cleaning the windshield, she decided to let the wipers clear it. It overloaded the wipers, and now they are screwed up. In any intermittent position they will go to a random spot on the windshield, then move again... In slow or fast, they work normal, but they don't go to the park position when they're shut down.
I bought a new motor, and have yet to install it because I want to research it a bit more first. Any input would be welcomed.
Re: Front windshield wiper issue
Installed a new motor and all is well. The toughest part was getting the wiper arms off!
Yeah wiper motor has the brains circuitry built inside. So that's be yours fix

Cumulative Debt Among 2009 Bachelor's Degree Completers, by Sector
Among students beginning their studies in 2003-04, about 19% of bachelor's degree completers — and about 13% of students who last attended a four-year institution but did not complete a bachelor's degree — accumulated more than $28,000 in student debt.
Figure 2011_9A: Distribution of Cumulative Debt Among 2009 Bachelor's Degree Completers, by Last Institutional Sector Attended
Notes & Sources
NOTE: Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS) reports on a nationally representative sample of students who began their studies in 2003-04. Figures 9A and 9B are based on students whose last institution attended was a four-year college or university. Debt categories are based on quartiles of total debt for the 66% of students meeting this criterion who took out student loans. Debt amounts include both federal and nonfederal student loans. The "All" category includes both dependent and independent students. For independent bachelor's degree recipients, the sample size in the for-profit four-year sector is too small to obtain accurate estimates, and therefore was omitted from Figure 9A. In the for-profit sector, many four-year institutions enroll students in shorter-term certificate and associate degree programs. This is less common in public and private nonprofit four-year institutions.
Sources: Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS), 2009; calculations by the authors.
- Bachelor's degree completers are more likely than those who did not graduate to have accumulated large amounts of student debt, but overall they are also somewhat more likely to have no debt at all.
- Among dependent students beginning their postsecondary studies in 2003-04 who last attended a for-profit four-year institution, 15% had earned bachelor's degrees by 2009. Two-thirds of these graduates had at least $28,000 in education debt. About 15% of dependent and 16% of independent students who last attended a for-profit four-year institution, but did not earn a bachelor's degree, borrowed more than $28,000.
- Among dependent students who last attended a public four-year institution, 64% had earned bachelor's degrees by 2009. Fourteen percent of these graduates had at least $28,000 in education debt. Over a quarter of the independent public four-year graduates had this much debt.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Venom P. Stinger
Drag City
Like a furious blast of hot, rancid air, the Australian quartet Venom P. Stinger spewed startling punk-rock noise on the Melbourne scene during its prime. With all the subtlety of a steamroller, the band subjected what could have been, in gentler hands, catchy rock 'n' roll to a barrage of abuse, pushing its vibrant tunes to the edge of chaos without going over the brink.
For all the brutality, though, these guys could really play: Guitarist Mick Turner and drummer Jim White brought fresh twists to the genre's conventions, rarely lapsing into familiar tropes. Together, they would later form the more refined Dirty Three, an instrumental band with violinist Warren Ellis (not the novelist), as well as work with Cat Power.
At the center of the storm, singer Dugald McKenzie, formerly of Sick Things, brandished a voice so raw and relentless that the Clash's Joe Strummer sounded like Frank Sinatra by comparison. Howling, barking and snarling with scabrous charisma, McKenzie suggested a wounded beast on the loose, which might not have been too far from the truth, since self-destructive habits allegedly sparked his departure from the band. In any case, this essential two-disc set collects Venom P. Stinger's widow-rattling output, consisting of two albums, plus an EP and a single. Annoy the neighbors and blast it today.
For more great '80s punk from Down Under, also check out last year's four-disc set The Aberrant Years (Sub Pop), compiling recordings of the Sydney group Feedtime, who were more focused and just as exciting.

Canisius College senior Mike Goemans (Guelph, Ontario) claimed his third award of the week as he was named the CollegeBaseballInsider.com Northeast Pitcher of the Week Wednesday. Goemans was one of five pitchers recognized by the website. Earlier in the week, Goemans was named a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper as well the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week.
Goemans is the third Golden Griffin to be honored by CollegeBaseballInsider.com this season as senior Perry Silverman (Feb. 12) and junior Steve McQuail (April 11) were named Northeast Region Players of the Week earlier this season by the website.
Goemans threw a one-hit shutout of Manhattan in the final game of the Golden Griffins' weekend sweep, a 4-0 victory at the Demske Sports Complex on Sunday. Goemans allowed a second-inning single, walked a batter in the third inning and also hit a batter in the third before retiring the final 19 Manhattan batters to complete the shutout victory.
It was the first one-hitter by a Canisius pitcher since Mike Bax on April 9, 2005 and first one-hit, nine-inning shutout by a Golden Griffin in the last 20 years. Goemans, a 2009 all-MAAC Second-Team selection, improved to 5-3 on the season and has a 4.36 ERA, the lowest ERA of any Canisius starting pitcher.
Canisius is 34-16 overall and 16-2 in the MAAC and have already clinched a berth in the 2010 MAAC Championship with six games left on the regular-season schedule. The Griffs can clinch the regular-season MAAC title with one win in the upcoming weekend series at Marist (May 15-16).

Just a couple of word to say thak you for your pics, really cool and reflecting the Paris of the people living there (like me).

I was wondering which metrostation this is, and where I can find more pictures of this station. I'm trying to recreate it in 3d with maya, so I would like to have some more pictures for reference.

Are you running laquered, steel cased ammo?

I have an SKS and if the ammo is not perfect or sometimes even if it is. I get alot of stuck cases. It seams that the bolt is coming back to fast or may not even be going all the way back. My guess would be the main spring or extractor spring not clearing case fast enough anyone else deal with this.
Are you running laquered, steel cased ammo?
I hate to be the cruel hand of reality slapping you across the face but, someone has to do it.
Life's hard, buy a helmet. You're not going to get coddled around here so get over it.
Hidden Content
I bet you have a pitted chamber. Try to lightly polish your chamber. Use a very fine valve grinding compound and go easy. Make sure that you thoroughly clean the compound from your chamber before using the gun.
I bet this fixes the problem. Many SKS rifles have schmoed-out chambers as a result of corrosive primers. Not all SKS rilfes have chrome chambers and bores.
I'm a genius. And you are not.
I hate to say it i used some cheap Russian garbage, I think it was called flying tiger. I was under the impression the gun would shoot anything. Its a mistake I wont repeat. I think im going to rebuild it anyway. Refinish stock, reblue barrel, and springs all around. Anyone no of a good parts source for the SKS?
I Do have the grenade launcher. I will have to take a look at that. Thanks for the advice
Even the poor quality ammo should work fine. If it's the later Yugo 59/66, it probably is pitted and/or leaking gas valve. Pull it out and take a look, just make sure you don't loose the spring. There was a fellow selling tight-fitting aftermarket valves on ebay some time ago, $10-20 if I remember good.

Sebastian Kehl out until November
Borussia Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl is facing six weeks on the sidelines with an ankle injury picked up in training.
• Dortmund, Low set for showdown over Hummels
The midfielder sustained an avulsion fracture on Sunday, with Dortmund club doctor Markus Braun confirming via the club's official website after a scan on Monday that the 33-year-old will be out until November.
Kehl has only started one Bundesliga game so far this season as he closes in on his 250th league appearance for the club. To date, he has featured in 238 league games for Dortmund since signing for them in 2002.
With Germany international Ilkay Gundogan also currently sidelined, Kehl's injury limits Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp's options in the base of midfield to two players -- Nuri Sahin and Sven Bender.
There are several players in the squad who could potentially be drafted in to cover the position if needed -- including right-back Kevin Grosskreutz, winger Jakub Blaszczykowski, central midfielder Henrikh Mkhytarian, reserve player Oliver Kirch and centre-back duo Sokratis and Mats Hummels -- but any of those six players would necessitate a drastic change in the line-up.
On Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund face a difficult task in Champions League, when they kick off their campaign against the Serie A leaders Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo.

Laura Bow in The Dagger of Amon Ra
Review by SPaul
"A classic murder mystery."
The Dagger of Amon Ra is a sequel to an earlier Laura Bow (pronounced like
"low") mystery entitled "The Colonel's Bequest." Although I have not played
this earlier adventure, I can say without doubt that the follow up is an
excellent game on its own.
Innocent but intelligent Laura is about to make her way up in the world. Leaving her southern hometown, she ventures to New York to make it big as a journalist. At the newspaper she is given an assignment to cover a new exhibit opening at the Leyendecker Museum. The exhibit shows off artifacts from a recent Egyptian dig, including the Dagger of Amon Ra. The dagger is rumored to have a curse on it. Needless to say, the rumors may be true when the professor who dug it up turns up dead inside one of the relics. As more and more bodies pile up, Laura must find out who is killing these people and stop them before she ends up the next victim.
The game is set in the 1920s, which adds a sense of film noir (not to mention that interest in Egyptian artifacts piqued during this time period) to the whole thing. The difference between this game and most movies made in the actual film noir era is probably the murders. These are not the simple stabs, gunshots, and poisonings that your parents know. They are far more grisly and unnerving, and overall adds a lot of menace to the game. For instance, one man is found decapitated and pinned (literally) to the ground by a fallen pterodactyl beak. His head is found two rooms over hanging amidst a collection of masks. But that's not the worst of it: he was decapitated by the blade of those huge paper cutters! (You know, the ones where you lift the blade, put the paper on the block, and pull the blade down. Not a very plesant way to go).
Good, but not as good as SQ4 was (and that game came earlier!). Characters become very blocky when walking towards bottom of the screen. Closeups are well-rendered, though, and with speech the mouths match the dialogue word for word! Bravo, Sierra!
The high point. This was the era of jazzy music, and every musical number reflects that (I recommend having a card that plays MIDI music well to get the full effect, though. Sound effects match what you're doing. Voice acting is fairly well-done (listen for Ziggy, who's voice is done by somebody who watched too much Peter Lorre!).
Sierra pretty much had the point-and-click interface down pat, and this game is no exception. The only problem is that the hand icon is rather unwieldy (it's a huge Eqyptian hieroglyph and sometimes hard to aim on what you want).
Great fun. Things are solved in the basic Sierra way, with using objects in the correct places (although a score isn't used in this game). The mood is just like a good murder movie, with seedy characters, mood-enhancing music, shocking violence, twists and turns, and a genuinely frightening last chapter. I don't really want to spoil it, but let's just say that being thrown into a situation without preparation while being chased by a character that looks like the Grim Reaper is probably enough to creep out anybody.
Another Sierra adventure game that lives up to promise. Check this one out if you don't mind a little detective work. Oh, and turn off the lights. I gurantee you'll be looking over your shoulder every couple of minutes.

With an afternoon or evening of grilling on your schedule, you have two choices when it comes to what to wear: the rattiest t-shirt you own, or a nice shirt that's all but guaranteed to get dirty. Instead, simply don this ruggedly stylish canvas apron. It provides a barrier between you and all the flyaway sauces and marinades that come with being King of the Grill.
I bought this to use in my ceramic studio. It's thick enough to handle throwing on the wheel and absorbing the water and slip on my hands. I like the two pockets for tools and towels. It's great! I highly recommend it. Probably wouldn't use it in the kitchen. But I think it's more for rugged matters.5
I love the design and simplicity of the apron. I'd wear it around the house to do everything. But after a few minutes, the leather neck strap broke off. The grommet wasn't assembled right and popped right off. Maybe mine was just a defect, but now I have to go find some grommet kit to fix it, because I do like the apron a lot.3

So, what is the difference between these regular knives and a , "TACTICAL" one?
I recently got a great deal on a Gerber Gator knife. Overall it is one heck of a knife! Got the drop point:
I am shopping around for similar knives of other manufacturers. I am partial to Gerber and Buck, but I am open to USA-made alternatives.
A friend works at the local BPS and we spent a good hour fondling all the knives they have behind the counter. Lots of nice knives, but the balance on most leave something to be desired.
I learned that SOG knives are all made overseas - as are some of the other brands' "budge" lines. So that's flat-out for me.
I *really* like - REALLY - like the feel of the Buck Alpha Hunter. Unfortunately it doesn't come in "blackout" or "coated" finishes. I may get one anyway:
What I would think is IDEAL would be a folder with the blade features of the Gator - serrated blade, coated blade finish, attached to the Alpha Hunter. The A.H. is HEFTY and feels like you have something significant in your hand. Not sure on the rubber grips but I like them. I like the overall shape of the "drop-point" Gerber and the A.H. knife (straight point?). Similar to a Tanto blade in that it has a good penetrating tip, but also a large enough sweep on the blade to provide utility cutting / deer skinning / etc. The serrations to me seem like a "must have" feature but perhaps I'm being too picky. If you add serrations and an oxide finish (in other words a non-shiny finish) to that A.H. folder, then that for me would be the perfect tactical / utility knife! Seems like all the nice utility knives are "Tactical" and more spendy - I guess mall ninjas need matching accessories too
I can get a black oxide finish on the A.H. via Buck's custom knife department, but only in the FIXED blade. Personally I would like that in a folder.
Balance on the good Buck knives are correctly in the handle. Most of the other mfr models are weighted in the blade, meaning they aren't balanced and are meant to be seen more than used. Even the Buck "nite hawk" or whatever it is called - the long K-Bar shaped one - is even blade-heavy. Compare that with a real working knife like K-Bar etc. and it feels like it was made for kids and mall ninjas.
So I am really not impressed with most of them. Not saying they aren't good knives, but I am wanting something that feels better in my hand. More than a pocket knife / swiss army knife but less than a full-length hunting knife like a K-Bar. I have yet to find that and unless I modify an A.H. I don't know that my ideal knife exists. Any recommendations?
Another question - what does it take for something like that A.H. to get a custom finish? I assume it is more than sand blasting and painting it! How do the custom knife guys do things?

"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
I really like CRKT knives like the Kit Carson designed M-4. But needing it to be made in the US really adds to the price and significantly narrows the field. In the last few years even the quality of the Chinese manufactured knives (top end American designed knives) has become surprisingly good for the price point. Since you like the dropped point I'm guessing you are looking for a knife that works well for skinning as well as being a good all around folding knife?
Gunco member #11
it is dangerous to be right in matters about which the established authorities are wrong Voltaire
I picked up a kind of cheap one from BENCHMADE. All I wanted to do with this one is skin, clean and, debone. But, I would not call it something that one would use as a tacticle tool.
The sales lady that sold it to me over at the blades shop said she would give me a private sharpening lesson for buying it. She looks along the lines of the woman who was in the AR15 field stripping course vid we had on here a couple weeks back.
Last edited by MUSIBIKE; 12-01-2012 at 10:36 PM.
Yep a knife good for skinning and all-purpose utility. There are a few Benchmade knives that look nice too but they are a bit spendy. I've found a few new Gerbers that look promising, and so I'll be on the lookout for them at the next gun show.

Wow only 2500 for that set... 4th I figure you have 2 or 3 of these sets already?
The shape/size of that smaller one looks really nice. Maybe I'm being too picky wanting serrations... plenty of options w/o serrations.

V. 102(4). P. 517-523. Interpretive Summary: The ability of scientists to be able to produce genetic maps to estimate linkage distance between molecular markers in rye has limited our understanding of the relationships between rye and other cereals. The present study was initiated to ascertain the genetic location of molecular markers from rye, wheat, barley, oats, and rice to a common rye mapping population to study the relationships between the cereals and to understan if hot and cold spots of recombination exist throughout the rye family. The molecular markers were mapped to a linkage map using standard mapping procedures. We found out that the markers tended to form distinct hot and cold spots of recombination that were consistent in several ryes. Also, our mapping of markers from several cereal species was in agreement with the marker order observed in other species genetic maps. This information will be important to small grain researchers in their attempts to understand the genetic relationships among rye and other small-grain cereals by comparative genetic mapping, and to other plant scientists who will try to design more efficient crop plants through either classical breeding or biotechnology.
Technical Abstract: A rye linkage map was created containing clones from rye genomic libraries created at Columbia, Missouri, USA; Hannover, Germany; and Madrid, Spain; and wheat, barley, and oat genomic and cDNA clones. The F2 population consisted of 110 F2-derived F3 families. As rye-rye translocations are common, each F2 plant was analyzed by C-banding in order to establish its chromosome structure. All data were analyzed using the JoinMap program at a LOD score of 3.0 and the Kosombi mapping function. Both co-dominant and dominant markers were added to the map. Of all probes screened, 24.7% were polymorphic and mappable. Several conclusions can be made from the existing data. First, a relatively high level of segregation distortion was present, which is due to the outcrossing nature of rye. Second, markers inherited as dominant markers were not very compatible for mapping in combination with co-dominant markers. Third, only one interstitial cytological C-band (C1-1RS) was mapped. Fourth, it was established that the cM distance observed on the map was related to only that map and the parents used in creating the mapping population. When using the same markers on a different mapping population, different cM distances were observed. The present map contains 184 markers in seven linkage groups covering 727.5 cM. This places a marker about every 3.97 cM throughout the rye genome.

Whale Meat Isn't a Culinary Delicacy, It's a Federal Offense
In 2010, the activist-filmmakers behind The Cove, the award-winning documentary exposing the brutal dolphin killings in Taiji, Japan, decided that even after worldwide acclaim and an Oscar win, they weren't finished protecting the ocean's endangered mammals. Setting up an undercover sting operation, they revealed that a popular Santa Monica sushi restaurant, named "The Hump," was illegally selling endangered species meat to diners.
Their efforts initially resulted in misdemeanor charges brought against The Hump's parent company, Typhoon Restaurant, Inc., as well two of its chefs, Kiyoshiro Yamamoto and Susumu Ueda. But the Los Angeles Times reports that following a further investigation, those charges were bumped up this week to nine felony counts of importing and selling endangered sei whale meat, a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
As a result, chef Yamamoto in particular could face up to 67 years in prison.
Louie Psihoyos, The Cove's Oscar-winning filmmaker and the executive director of The Oceanic Preservation Society, tells TakePart, "Today we are giving this animal and other endangered animals a voice that will be heard around the world—it's a warning that to traffic these animals in America, the second biggest market in the world for endangered species…and you do it at the risk of becoming a caged animal."
Though the Japanese commercial whaling industry is permitted to hunt the animals for scientific research purposes, they cannot legally kill them to sell for human consumption. Nonetheless, there exists a long-standing international outcry against the scientific research loophole; opponents state it's simply a thinly veiled excuse used by the industry to carry on the illegal fishing practices responsible for decimating whale populations. Stateside, the import or sale of whale meat for any purpose is banned.
In a series of visits spanning from late 2009 to 2010, members of The Cove team armed themselves with hidden video equipment, and posing as diners, ordered whale meat from The Hump's dinner menu. The New York Times reports they collected samples of their meals and through DNA tracing, were able to confirm that a sample of that meat did in fact come from a sei whale sold in Japan.
Heather Rally was instrumental in that operation. She posed as one of the diners and tells TakePart, "This case represents so much more than just a sushi restaurant selling whale meat...we are fighting the fate of an entire species and ultimately the fate of the planet. The case demonstrated a blatant disregard for animal and environmental protection laws in this country at a time when entire ecosystems are being threatened by human activities. This is an unacceptable sacrifice for the sake of human indulgence."
After its illegal whale meat operation was exposed, The Hump promptly shuttered its doors. In addition to chef Yamamoto's possible 67-year prison sentence, chef Susumu Ueda faces up to ten years in prison. Typhoon Restaurant, Inc. could pay up to $1.2 million in fines.
The Los Angeles Times reports that in reaction to the indictment, chef Ueda's attorney, James W. Spertus, said, "It's very unfortunate that the U.S. attorney's office has decided to charge my client after years of doing nothing. The case was charged initially as a misdemeanor."
But Rally doesn't see it that way. She explains, "This indictment is a defining one. It represents a shift in our attitude towards the environment…We have reached a critical time in history when species are disappearing before our eyes and yet the global trade in endangered animal products is flourishing. In my opinion, this case is a victory for the future of the planet."
The defendants are due back in court in the coming weeks, but until then, Psihoyos says this fight is far from over. "The Hump is just one sting in a long series of busts my organization has been involved in. Very soon I hope to see a parade of these traffickers going to jail."
What kind of punishment do you think is fair for traffickers profiting off the sale of endangered animals? Let us know in the Comments.

Syrian rebels have taken control of nearly all villages near the country's frontier with the Golan Heights, according to Israel's defense minister, who said Nov. 14 that Bashar Assad's forces were "displaying ever-diminishing efficiency."
Fighting near the border over the past week had already drawn Israeli retaliatory fire into Syria twice after apparently stray mortar shells flew into the Israel-held Golan Heights. On Nov. 12, an Israeli anti-air tank struck a Syrian military mortar crew.
"Almost all of the villages, from the foot of this ridge to the very top, are already in the hands of the Syrian rebels," Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Nov. 14 during a tour of the Golan Heights, the plateau that Israel captured from Syria in 1967 and later annexed. He said Israel will remain "vigilant and alert."
The Syrian civil war threatens to enflame an already combustible region. The fighting already has already spilled into Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. — ap & jta

Leptospermum scoparium (Manuka)
We get our Manuka from The East Cape region of New Zealand (which has been confirmed as having the highest antimicrobial activity). There is evidence indicating that it is up to 20 times more potent than Australian tea tree and has been proven in studies to be excellent at killing the bacteria that attack the teeth and gum tissue
Commiphora myrrha (Myrrh)
We use Indian Myrrh oil extracted from the resin of the Commiphora myrrha tree
Indian Myrrh is high in Flavonoids which can help to assist in inflammation reduction and naturally boost the body's immune system
Punica granatum (Pomegranate) seed
This luxury 'cold pressed' Pomegranate seed oil from India is a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins and Omega 5 fatty acids
New research has shown pomegranate to have a potent regenerating and healing effect on the bodies soft tissues so may dramatically aid in the healing of damaged, inflamed, receding or bleeding gums (2, 3, 4)
Another study indicates that it also helps to fight Dental Plaque and kills microorganisms that can lead to cavities and gum disease (1)
Mentha Arensis (Cornmint)
Cornmint or Japanese Peppermint is a plant with hairy leaves and spiked purple flowers
Adds a pleasant minty taste to the product and helps kill oral bacteria
Eugenia caryophyllus (Clovebud)
Our Indian Clove oil is extracted from the buds of the Syzgium aromaticum tree
Clove is a very powerful herb indeed, it has great antiseptic properties, numbs pain due its eugenol content and has the highest anti-oxidant rating of any natural plant extract in the world
Mentha Spicata (Spearmint) leaf
Spearmint gives the product a sweet minty taste while helping to whiten teeth and heal sore gums

Financing a condominium can also be different than other properties. If you are purchasing a condominium with cash, you will find that the sale will go much easier and quicker. But before you plunk down your money you will need to investigate the communities health, operation and whether it meets your needs. I will work with your title/escrow agent to ensure that you have as much knowledge about the community as possible before you take title to your new home.
If you plan on financing the condominium or townhouse you should be aware of the rules that many lenders have regarding shared ownership properties. The location, size of the complex, percentage of owner occupants, the financial stability of the HOA all are determining factors that lenders review before approving condo financing. Providing your lender with information about the property early in the buying process is important when financing a condominium.
Conventional financing is the most common and easiest to obtain for condominium homes. If you are considering FHA or VA financing the condo must be on the approved list of properties that meet the strict requirements of these programs. You can use one of the links below to find and approved complex or use our search engine link to find your new Condominium Home.
I have sold many condominiums and town homes in the Phoenix metro area and I have the expertise to help you find the best properties and the best financing. Please contact me with any questions.

Pinoys in Thailand told to prepare for possible evacuation as political crisis worsens
MANILA (Mabuhay) — The Philippines on Tuesday raised its crisis alert in Thailand and advised Filipinos there to prepare for possible evacuation if necessary after the Thai military declared a nationwide martial law.
Crisis Alert 2 was raised by Manila, which means Filipinos must refrain from undertaking non-essential movements, avoid public places and prepare for evacuation if needed, Foreign Affairs spokesman Charles Jose told a press briefing.
There is no travel ban to Thailand, Jose said, but unnecessary travel is discouraged.
Only those Filipinos with existing contracts to Thailand will be allowed to return there for work.
There are between 10,000 to 15,000 Filipino workers in Thailand.
"The Philippine embassy in Bangkok has advised Filipinos to exercise extreme caution and vigilance, avoid travelling to rally sites and gatherings and to refrain from taking part in protests," he said.
Thailand's military declared a nationwide martial law on Tuesday to restore order in the troubled Southeast Asian nation, which is functioning without a proper government since its Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and nine of her ministers were dismissed by the court on May for abuse of power.
Thailand has been besieged by violent pro-Thaksin and anti-government protesters since November last year and dozens have been killed.
So far, Filipinos there have yet to feel the effects of the martial law, said Philippine Ambassador to Thailand Jocelyn Garcia in an interview on "Balitanghali" on Tuesday.
"Wala po kaming nakitang kakaiba. Dati na hong may military presence. Ngayon lang mas prominente sila, siguro dun sa lugar na merong mga demonstrators," she said.
No Filipinos have been reported hurt in the ongoing turmoil.
"Wala naman ho kaming naririnig na nangyayari sa kanila, o naapektuhan sila. In the last six months, wala naman hong nasaktang Pilipino," said Garcia.
Meanwhile, Jose said a Philippine contingency plan is in place and a DFA team is ready to be dispatched to Thailand as soon as possible.
The Philippines, Jose said, is closely monitoring the political developments in Thailand and called for an early return to normalcy.
Jose said the Philippines supports a peaceful resolution of the conflict, continued dialogue and observance of democratic principles and rule of law. (MNS

Does my rough plumbing look ok?
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all.
Before I put on the glue, I was wondering if I could get some comments on my current drain/vent set up for my 1/2 bath in my basement.
My attached pictures have my future layout with the to be drain/vent.
My rough in plumbing has the 4" toilet drain and a 3" sink drain. In the floor joices above there was a 2" vent stack that was capped and ready for me to tie into.
I ran the 2" vent down and then horizontally 2 feet until it could hook up to the vertical part of the vent where I have a 1 1/2 inch sink drain tieing in with a sanitary tee where I will eventually put a 90 degree and link it into my sink once I determine where officially go.
Future water supply lines will come down from my ceiling once I tie into the water lines.
Questions, does this look acceptable? I am a little nervouse because all the reseach I have done usually always shows a seperate vent stack for the toilet which I dont have one. So will it still work??
My toilet flange is just on the pipe, I need to cut the pipe once I get closer to setting the tile so that is why it is that high.
Also, does anyone know a good way to finish off a back water check valve? I was hoping to just be able to buy a floor drain cover and replace the plastic lid.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Not sure if I understand the 2" horizontal PVC pipe supported by the 2x4 piece where the vanity is going. Is this the drain back to the wall or the vent back to the wall? I know the vent can not go horizontal until it is above the flood plain (vanity top) of the device it is venting.
You may have two pipes running horizontal to the drain by the wall: the drain at trap height and the vent 2-3 feet higher.
the 2" that has the 2 x 4 supporting it will be the drain back to the vent. I just havent cut it to proper length yet and put on the 90 elbow.
I have the run sloping about 1 inch since the run from where I am anticipating the vanity to go is about 4 feet.
I am not sure if a vanity drain can run that far before being vented. You could ask the plumbing inspector at your city hall (is this going to be inspected?) or you could just run a vent up and over as I previously mentioned.
199 Attachment(s)
Here's a couple things I'd do-
Install a 3" cleanout on the vent, then reduce it to 2".
Pipe the lav trap arm with 1.5"- max length= 42" per UPC (what code is used in your area)
check at http://www.siouxchief.com/ for something to cover the BW valve.
What aim quoting is under the IPC
1 hard to tell is that a wye at the stack and sink waste arm.? If it is must be a sanitary tee not a wye.
2 waste arm to sink 5 feet from stack in 1 ½ pipe 2" 8 feet.
3 how are you picking up the toilet? Within 5 feet of the vent
4 clean out at the base of the stack. As someone mentioned.
I wouldnt worry about running that waste arm for vanity till the walls are framed up.
Is anything tied into that 3" line above it like a toilet?:)
Thanks for the follow up....
1) Yes it is a sanitary tee. Made sure of it when I bought it.
2) thanks, my 1 1/2 waste arm should not be more than 4 feet, so I should be good.
3. The toilet is just roughed in where it is in the picture. I am not sure there is a vent for the toilet. I just have the 4 inch pipe sticking out of the concrete in which I just placed a flange for the picture. that is one of my main concerns. I am assuming that the toilet and 3" drain both route back to the backwater valve and then to my house main stack drain that sits just in back of this picture about 4 feet.
4) clean out bought this afternoon
Correct, I wont be running the waste arm until the walls go up, I just wanted conceptually to show what will be going on.
actually the line going up is a 2" vent stack, its a 3" into cement. I added a reducer just before the floor and below the sanitary tee. nothing is about that line it just links into a pre-installed vent stack that was in place within the floor joist.
Toilet vent should already be tied in under the floor during rough in of house :)
you have the right idea and your install should be fine... vent for commode is already tied in under floor I would as mentioned install 3" clean out then reduce for vent... and vanity drain...
Thanks for all of the advice!! Very much appreciated!!
