Hemi Exhaust Tick Fixed by Owner
Experience Sharing:
My 2011 GC Overland Summit Hemi 4x4 developed a tick tick exhaust leak which was discovered during the most recent oil change at 33k miles. After searching this sight, I learned that the problem is common, but I couldn't find a post for the newer cars. Hence, my hope that this thread may help someone else with the same problem.
Before anyone asks, yes the car is under warranty, and I could have taken it to one of the two dealers in my town. But I don't trust their work. So I wanted to at least diagnose it myself, if I could.
I confirmed the location of the leak with a 3 foot length of 3/4 inch heater hose used as a stethoscope. The leak was coming from the upper rear exhaust manifold bolt on the passenger side. The bolt could not be seen, except with a mirror.
The heat shield must be removed first. It is secured with four nuts on studs located on the heads of four of the eight exhaust manifold bolts. Access is difficult. Lower rear was easy. Front two could be reached through fender well after pealing back inner fender plastic liner. Be careful with the plastic push pins. They have two heads and pry fork must be wedged between the two heads. Then it is easy.
After two front and lower rear nuts are removed, upper rear must be removed by feeling where a deep socket needs to go. In my case the nut kept turning on the shield without comming out. I realized the entire exhaust manifold bolt was turning and assumed the bolt was broken. After I pulled on the shield, the entire shield, with bolt attached came out.
I was then afraid that the threads were stripped inside the head. Luckily that was not the case. I cleaned the bolt, put anti-seize compound on the threads and it went back in perfectly by hand. As I said, I could not see it and did the insertion by feel.
The heads of the exhaust manifold bolts are 10mm and require only 18 lbs of torque. But, the space was so tight I could not get a torque wrench in. I used a slim 3/8 inch breaker bar and had to approximate the torque spec by feel. I think I came pretty close.
There was no sign of damage to the gasket so that is the only bolt that was removed. I couldn't reach the forward bolts, but the middle ones seemed firm, so I just tighted the four rearmost bolts.
After tightening the noise was gone, so after cooling put the heat sheild back on and then re-attached the inner fender panel.
Its been a couple of weeks since the repair and all seems well. My guess is that the bolt is prone to losening from repeated heat and cooling cycles. But what do I know? I'm just the stupid owner.
Re: Hemi Exhaust Tick Fixed by Owner
Did your tick occur when the vehicle was cold? or only when warm?
Please advise.
Re: Hemi Exhaust Tick Fixed by Owner
Its called a Hemi "tick" for a reason, they all are supposed to do it....
This must have been a separate issue....
Re: Hemi Exhaust Tick Fixed by Owner
Care to elaborate? I don't understand your post...
Re: Hemi Exhaust Tick Fixed by Owner
If you can't find a solution to a common problem, give it a name and call it normal.
If you do a Google search you'll find different theories and fixes. I got the feeling as I was reading that there's more than one 'Hemi Tick'. :)
Yes on the older WK Hemi's the exhaust manifold bolts somehow worked their way free which cause the ticking / exhaust leak type sound. But wasn't a fix for everyone.
I actually could never solved the issue and ended up selling my WK because that tick drove me crazy. I tried everything. I'm just glad you fixed it on your WK2 because i hope I'd never hear that Noise again ever. That's one of the main reasons why I purchased a WK2 cause that noise wasn't present on the new Hemi's.
Eastmentwk2: the tick noise was loudest when cold, but still present after warmup.

Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria took out full-page ads in South Florida newspapers Sunday to pen an open letter to fans.
The Miami Herald, Palm Beach Post and South Florida Sun-Sentinel published Loria's letter, in which he defended the way he has run the team.
Loria covered a variety of topics about the team, including last year's blockbuster trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, the way Marlins Park was financed and the two World Series championships it has won in its 20-year history.
In November, the Marlins sent shortstop Jose Reyes, starting pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson, infielder Emilio Bonifacio and catcher John Buck, and $4-million cash to the Blue Jays. In exchange, the Marlins received shortstop Yunel Escobar, starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez, infielder Adeiny Hechavarria, catcher Jeff Mathis, minor league pitchers Justin Nicolino and Anthony Desclafani, and minor league outfielder Jake Marisnick.
It was a cost-cutting move for the Marlins and it replenished their minor-league system.
"The controversial trade we made with the Toronto Blue Jays was approved by Commissioner Bud Selig and has been almost universally celebrated by baseball experts outside of Miami for its value," Loria wrote. "... Our plan for the year ahead is to leverage our young talent and create a homegrown roster of long-term players who can win. In fact, objective experts have credited us with going from the 28th ranked Minor League system in baseball to the 5th best during this period."
Loria also defended the financing of Marlins Park.
"The majority of public funding came from hotel taxes, the burden of which is incurred by tourists who are visiting our city, NOT the resident taxpayers," he wrote. "The Marlins organization also agreed to contribute $161.2-million toward the ballpark, plus the cost of the garage complex. In addition, the Marlins receive no operating subsidy from local government funding. The ballpark required that all debt service is paid by existing revenue."
The Marlins won World Series titles in 1997 and 2003, but gutted their payroll the following seasons. Despite those championships, the Marlins have not been consistent winners in their 20-year history.
"Amidst the current news coverage, it can be easy to forget how far we went together not so long ago," Loria wrote. "In 2003, I helped bring a second World Series title to South Florida. We know how to build a winning team, and have every intention of doing so again."
The Marlins are in rebuilding mode after expectations of contending for a 2012 championship resulted in a disappointing 69-win season.Report Typo/Error

CBS' perennially low-rated Early Show has replaced its entire anchor lineup with a new team, reports USA TODAY's Gary Levin.
Harry Smith, 59, and Maggie Rodriguez, 40, along with weatherman Dave Price, will leave the program as of Jan. 3, though CBS says it expects all will remain with the network.
"The content of the show has been first-rate the last six months, but ratings have not grown the way we'd like to have seen them grown," says Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports. "We felt at this point it was time to do something dramatic, and we felt this combination does allow us to be competitive in January. We're not looking for any fireworks; we're not going to suddenly be No. 2," he says. But McManus hopes for "slow and steady" progress and says most of the new team is already familiar to Early Show viewers.
The revamped broadcast will team Erica Hill and Chris Wragge, who now helm the Saturday edition of the Early Show. (Wragge also is a co-anchor at WCBS, the network's flagship station in New York.) Jeff Glor, who anchors Saturday's CBS Evening News, will become the show's news anchor, and Marysol Castro, formerly of Good Morning America's weekend edition, will provide weather reports.
Smith, at the Early Show since 2002, will now become the primary substitute anchor for the evening news, Face the Nation and Sunday Morning while continuing as a reporter, while the network says it is in talks for "prominent and ongoing roles" for Rodriguez and Price.
For the week of Nov. 15, Early Show averaged 2.9 million viewers, little more than half the total for top-ranked Today. Julie Chen left the program earlier to work full time in Los Angeles on new daytime series The Talk and, in summer months, Big Brother.

Man, sorry for not loitering more @ TDH now that my suit's been finished a while!
I went the ESB helmet, ROTJ suit way, but now feel it's really time to get the ROTJ bucket & have a fully matched suit (even though I remember seeing way back a thread re the ESb suit possibly being worn in a small clip on the barge)...
So, like the thread title says, did fp ever produce the ROTJ that WPK unveiled here: http://forums.thedentedhelmet.com/sh...highlight=rotj ?????????????
Man, I still think my MSH2 is tops, so an ROTJ would be fantastic!

Fire Assessment Credit Applications Due
Published May 11th, 2011
Gainesville's Fire Rescue is giving businesses who have taken measures to safeguard their properties a financial break.
Buildings that have state approved sprinkler systems are eligible for a ten percent credit on the city-wide fire assessment fee.
The fee was approved last July by commissioners to help cover GFR's operational costs without cutting services.
The application process requires some extensive paperwork so GFR recommends businesses apply sooner rather than later by picking up a form at City Hall, or going on line to submit their request.
Last year over one thousand businesses received the credit.
The application is due on June first.
For more information visit Gainesville Fire Rescue.

Ashley Teipel discovered she wanted to become a teacher while working for the Peace Corps in Moldova. She was teaching health education in Romanian and realized that, after returning from the Peace Corps, she wanted to pursue her passion for educating children.
Teipel returned to the U.S. and started looking for a teacher education program where she could earn a master in education. "I wanted to go straight back to the classroom and teach children," Teipel says, "and Western State Colorado University's Education Department stood out as a great opportunity to do just that."
Every summer for one week, students like Teipel and more than 140 other future teachers and administrators meet on
Western's Education Program offers both graduate degrees and initial licensure programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for future educators. While many students live in Gunnison and are traditional resident students, Western offers popular on-line courses for experienced educators and professionals looking to make a career change. Western also works with school districts across the country and internationally to place student teachers in real classrooms, where Western students spend an entire academic year working as clinical-based Residents or Interns.
"I loved working in the classroom from day one," says master's degree candidate Ashley Teipel. Teipel was placed in a school in Denver working with 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. "Even though I was in Denver and my professors were in Gunnison, the on-line curriculum and regular interactions meant that my professors knew me on a first name basis. I have had so much support, and I never felt like I was in over my head."
Dr. Gaye Jenkins, who has worked with all levels of in-service educators across the country for fifteen years in a national education program, is now Director of Education at Western. "Effective education has to prioritize the 'human factor'. Modeling close, collaborative relationships helps candidates feel supported and it builds their confidence to become leaders in their schools very quickly. Traditional online programs miss out. Many of our students have made a point to tell me how much they appreciate the face-to-face component of our Summer Session, as they then develop deeper collaborations and discussions online afterwards."
Professors here really want to see students succeed," says Western alum and master's degree candidate Carolyn Holmes. "The week we spend together here in Gunnison creates an incredible partnership that really enriches the educational experience for the rest of the year as we head back to the classroom as student teachers."
Holmes, who graduated from Western in 2010 and worked in Maryland for a year as a PE teacher, is headed to Leadville, Colorado for her year as a student teacher. "Western's teacher education program provides phenomenal scaffolding to work from. When I graduate, I know I'll have the confidence and skillset to be a great teacher."

SEATTLE — Recreational Equipment Inc. announced that it plans to give $4.2 million this year to nonprofits across the country that work to preserve and maintain natural spaces through active volunteer programs.
According to REI, the company designates 3% of the previous year's operating profit to its annual grants program. Because REI employees have the most direct connection to local nonprofits, store employees nominate organizations from their local community. REI invites selected nominees to apply for grant funding. Eligible organizations must be outdoor nonprofits that promote active volunteerism through their programs, such as hands-on trail building or restoration events.
"At REI, we encourage our members and customers who enjoy the outdoors to play an active role in taking care of those places," said Kevin Hagen, director of corporate social responsibility for REI. "We are honored to partner with hundreds of dedicated nonprofit organizations that share a similar mission and whose programs allow us to expand these efforts to trails, waterways and parks across the country."
2011 applications were submitted throughout the spring and REI is currently notifying grant recipients in each of its communities, the company reported. In the coming months, members and customers can visit their local REI store, the REI Blog or their local REI Facebook or Twitter page to learn more about REI's selected grant partners and how to get involved. Last year, the company granted $3.7 million to more than 320 nonprofits across the country. A full list of the REI's 2010 grant recipients is available at REI.com.

My hair is 3a and starting to become a little more 3b as it grows. It's fine and moderately porous and hates glycerin but loves aloe.
1. Co-wash with Suave Naturals Aloe and Waterlily - Rake it in and gently scrub my scalp, then flip over and comb through with my Denman brush (ice queen method). I comb it all upside down, but because it's a weird length, I then section off the bottom part and comb it back down (hard to explain - top half of my hair is hanging upside down, while the bottom half is combed flat against my neck). This prevents the bottom of my hair from getting caught up with the rest at the back of my head and being weird and matted. Super important to make sure that no hair is caught between up and down or it'll get matted and gross!
Then I let it sit for a minute or two, gently flipping my head right-side up so the hair isn't in my face - I don't get a ton of part control with this, but the volume makes up for it.
2. Rinse (usually at regular temperature) and add in my RO - lately I'm using Garnier Sleek and Shine (it's CG and has good slip). I scrunch it in upside down for the seaweed feeling (watching out for the pieces that I sectioned out, which I scrunch in the other direction - I find that they tend to stay separated on their own when I flip back upside down, so I just make sure I don't catch them up with the other hair) and let it sit for as long as it takes me to do everything else in the shower (shave, wash up).
3. Cold/cool water rinse upside down - I let the water soak into my hair until it's completely saturated and the curls are clumping
4. I use the Suave as a leave-in as well, but sometimes I switch it up with my RO. I gently scrunch a nickel sized amount in upside down (after reading this thread, I think I'm going to start sticking my head back under the water for more clumping because by the time I add my gel the curls are starting to separate from being manhandled too much
5. I scrunch in a small amount of my product (less is more for my hair), usually AG Re:Coil or KCCC or TiGi mousse. I usually only use one because my hair gets too weighed down if I mix.
6. I add my gel to set, BRHG - this is the best way for me to get second day hair, it never fails and my hair loves it. I've never found another gel that makes my hair as soft and clumpy and scrunches out so easily, or that gives me second day. I add that in upside down as well, hopefully with my hair still as wet as possible (again, I think adding more water is a great idea - I find super soaker doesn't work so well for me just practically at the sink, so sticking my head back under the water might work!)
I also sometimes do the scrunch method where I scrunch the same section gently seven or eight times - I'm not sure if this is doing anything for me but I give it a try!
7. I plop with a cotton long-sleeved t-shirt - microfiber towels suck out too much moisture for me and my hair gets some halo frizz. I leave that for five to ten minutes while I dry off and get dressed. Air drying actually makes my hair look the best, but drip-dry is not the wisest idea during a midwest winter!
I've experimented with brushing in product , but usually once I brush in my initial conditioner the curls are already forming, and I use the scrunching in of all the other products to encourage them to set. I especially never, ever comb in KCCC - that stuff is like glue in my hair and once it gets going there's no rearranging it!
For second day hair, I use the BRHG and I sleep on a satin pillowcase - my best second day hair is when I sleep with a satin sleep cap, but for vanity reasons I don't use it anymore lol
I also LOVE apple cider vinegar rinses - I try to do one fewer than twice a month, but when I live at school we have super hard water and my hair always feels coated with gunk and ACV is the only thing that makes it better.
Hair type: Fine, fairly porous, shoulder length when curly. Probably a 3a or 3b with tight ringlets now that it's getting longer. Hair loves aloe, hates glycerin.
Co-Wash: Suave Naturals Aloe and Waterlily (my HG conditioner!)
Rinse Out: Garnier Sleek and Shine, Trevor Sorbie curl conditioner (UK only, unfortunately)
Stylers: KCCC, AG Re:coil, TIGI mousse, but open to suggestions!
Gels: BRHG (my one and only)
CG since 03/28/09

Like the courtship stage of any relationship, both sides will be trying to work out what the other has to offer. It's as important for you to choose your investor as it is for your investor to choose you; it has to be mutual. Everyone's priorities are different -- so make sure you are clear about what you want and need. If choosing wisely, you'll find an investment partner that genuinely shares your values and can "complete" you.
As there are many different funding opportunities, it's imperative for you to spend a fair amount of time researching different types of investors. Don't rule anything out before you've done this, because you might surprise yourself. Whether you look at angel or institutional investors, publishers, incubators, private equity, grants, subsidies or crowdfunding, every option has its pros and cons and there isn't a single one-size-fits-all solution.
Think of it as preparing a personal listing for a dating agency -- you wouldn't say "I want love, commitment and support but I don't care who it comes from." Instead, you'd narrow it down to personality types, common interests, similar expectations, and so on. The same is true here.
If you're happy to hand your idea over to someone more experienced and utilize their resources, then you can lower the risk of not publishing your game by courting one of the bigger publishers -- even in this tough climate; although you should expect much lower royalties. If you desire a more hands-on approach and want to retain much greater creative control, then direct funding would probably be the better way for you.
So, you're creative and have fresh ideas. Investors seem more attractive because you could retain a bigger slice of the profits, all without being under the publisher's thumb. Sounds perfect, right? Let me stop you there. Don't be under any illusion that this is an easy option. Today's investors require savvy business partners, not savant artists. No investor is giving you anything. They're financing your dream with the clear expectation of a solid return on that investment; so you'd better be prepared to do everything you can to make that a reality.
You're going to need to understand and deliver all those dull "business" things that perhaps you thought weren't part of your job. If you want me committed to you, then you'll need to show me business plans, balance sheets, SWOT analyses, and marketing plans.
Like it or not, I'm afraid you're going to have to jump through the hoops of doing things "the old fashioned way": working hard. So run your numbers then run them again. Be able to defend and justify them and never, ever say "I guarantee you this will make money" -- no one can ever make that promise; but they can show me that they understand what it takes and that they've got a detailed plan to achieve it.
Now there'll be some of you out there thinking "Ah, but if I go for crowdfunding instead, then I can get all the money I need without having to worry about being accountable." Personally, I don't agree. Never think that crowdfunding is an easy route, either. It may be the big funding trend of the last year, but running a successful crowd-funding campaign is something that takes a huge amount of planning, effort and time if you want it to be successful.
Also, make sure you realize that getting your financing this way doesn't mean you have fewer people to report to -- it means you'll have more; potentially tens of thousands more, having invested only a few dollars each -- and at the very least, they've entered a moral contract with you, the developer.
You might feel your commitment to them only stretches as far as the free T-shirt or art book they've "pledged" for, but if you want to make the most of the loyal community you've worked hard to build, you need to deliver more. Communicate with them regularly, update them on your progress, show them the cool features that make your game amazing, and reassure them that what they've backed is going to come out on time and to the standards you've promised.
For me, the jury's still out on whether crowdsourcing is going to be a viable long-term source of financing. I believe that it's only a matter of time before a high profile funding success fails to deliver on its promise. What happens then, and under the direction of which regulatory agency, is anyone's guess. Therefore, I caution you not to enter this arena lightly. Like accepting investment from any other source, with crowdfunding, you need to deliver what you promise.
Ultimately, the choice of funding is yours -- so carefully weigh your options and what is truly important to you. The bottom line, in every sense, depends on you seeking and courting the most compatible investor so put the work in, go the extra mile and you'll hugely increase your chances of meeting "the one."

Biopic in The Works on INXS Singer Michael Hutchence
Rolling Stone reports a biopic based ont he life of INXS singer Michael Hutchence is now being developed.
The project is now entitled Two World Colliding and is set to start casting sessions next year with writer Bobby Galinsky. Galinsky has wanted to work on this project for over a decade. He adapted the screenplay from the book Just a Man: The Real Michael Hutchence which was written by Hutchence's mother.
Regarding the film, Galinsky said: "It's from the family's side as Michael being a son, a brother, a friend. It's not a sex, drugs and rock & roll tabloid situation. Who was Michael Hutchence? What drove him? What were his demons? What were his loves?"
Hutchence died in 1997. INXS officially confirmed they were splitting up earlier this month. The band originally formed in 1977 in Perth, Australia. The band eventually sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

Petiole tests are the primary tool used to determine fertility needs once the vineyard is established. Soil testing determines the amount of nutrients in the soil. Comparing soil tests and petiole tests over time will begin to show trend lines and strengthen the value of each. Petioles (stem portion of the leaf) is the tissue recommended for determining the nutritional needs of grape vines. Obtaining a representative sample is critical. Optimum nutrient sufficiency ranges are based on petioles sampled at specific times during the season. The following chart provides some petiole analysis nutrient sufficiency ranges for here in the Midwest. These listed ranges will vary somewhat between universities and regions of the U.S. (a)
a. Taken from Vineyard Fertilizer Management, PPT, 4-7-2009 by Dr. Paul Domoto, ISU Extension
The following guidelines can be used for proper sampling and handling procedures:
1. Full bloom (now) and around veraison (mid-July – mid-August) are the two times of the season to sample grapes. The full bloom sample is a suitable assay for nitrogen and boron. The veraison sample is more reliable for all the other nutrients.
2. At least 25-50 vines should be selected for sample collection. Vines not typical of the vineyard should be avoided.
3. Vines should be of the same age, variety, and rootstock growing on similar soil/site conditions.
4. For full bloom sampling, take the petioles from leaves opposite the bottom flower cluster. For samples taken at veraison, take the petioles from the most recently developed matured leaf.
5. Collect from 75 to 100 petioles. Short petioled varieties like Marechal Foch will need 150 to 200 petioles collected. Do not pick more than one petiole from any one shoot and 1-3 petioles can be sampled per vine. Do not sample any petioles connected to heavily diseased, insect or mechanical damaged leaves.
6. Dusty or dirty petioles should be rinsed with distilled water and patted dry with a paper towel. Place the collected samples in a clean "paper" bag and send into a testing laboratory. Make sure to record all the necessary information required by the testing laboratory and location in the vineyard.
7. Make sure to contact the testing laboratory prior to sending in the petiole test. You want to do it right the first time.
Many factors can affect the nutrient composition of plant tissue. Soil moisture, soil fertility, diseases, insects, crop load, weather, and cultural practices can directly affect petiole tests. When properly used, petiole testing will provide the most reliable method to determine fertilizer needs for established bearing vineyards. Consider the petiole test as a picture in time. Comparing petiole tests from year-to-year will show more reliable trends over time.
The ISU Soil & Plant Analysis lab does not do plant analysis testing for grapes. There are plenty of commercial labs who can do this for you. The cost will probably be in the $25to $30 range.

Innovative Under Vine Mgt. Strategies Webcast now Archived for Viewing
The "Innovative Under Vine Management Strategies" webcast that was held on 5-10-12 from Cornell University Extension has now been archived for viewing (FREE). The following topics are covered in this 1hr.55 min. webcast:
Intra-row cover crops and other practices to favorably alter vine growth and canopy Architecture. The presentation will focus on research and grower experience using intra-row or under-trellis cover crops to (a) reduce soil erosion and to (b) suppress vegetative growth of vigorous grapevines under conditions of excess soil moisture. The discussion will also describe how canopy architecture is favorably altered by such treatments which can have a bearing on fruit composition and wine quality attributes such as color density, but also on pest management. - Dr. Tony Wolf, Virginia Tech
Vineyard Floor Management and Soil Health
Different systems for managing vineyard soils and ground-cover vegetation influence soil fertility and functionality, soil water retention and release, soil biological activity, vine nutrition, vigor and berry composition, and the natural environment around vineyards and wineries. This presentation will describe some long-term effects of mulches, legume ground-covers, mechanical tillage, and different herbicides on important soil attributes that are often called 'soil health'. In addition, research on pesticide contamination of soils and surface water around vineyards will be reviewed, and suggestions will be made on ground-cove management systems that promote vine and soil health. - Dr. Ian Merwin, Cornell University

"From the perspective of color, maceration is a trade-off: with longer maceration times, more tannins are extracted but this is at the expense of some loss of anthocyanins. However, the 10
anthocyanins that remain are likely to persist longer in the wine matrix, and might soften the astringency of red wine as they become progressively incorporated into polymeric pigments."

I'm writing a murder mystery located in North Florida. My protagonist's father, a major rancher and limerock mine operator, accidentally shot himself while cleaning his snake gun. Mister Cedric needs something small and easy to carry while hunting, overseeing mine operations, riding, and fishing on the Suwannee River, and I liked the Taurus Judge's ability to use both cartridges and shot. But the accident happened back in 1965 and The Judge had not been introduced then.
Can you give Mister Cedric any recommendations on what he should have been carrying?
Thanks for your help, Skipper
How about a derringer, one of those without a trigger guard. Just a thought
I think the Snake Charmer was available back then.

Most ranchers and farmers I know would have carried a small, single shot .410 shot gun. They were made by Harrington & Richards IIRC, more commonly known as H&R shotguns.
A second viable option (if it must be a pistol) would be a 38spl or 357 mag revolver using shot rounds. One of the old S&W model 10 revolvers using shotshell ammo would be quite common back then, or so i would think.

My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
.22 snakeshot existed then. I used to carry a couple of rounds of it in a .22 revolver when hunting in GA, but eventually I figured out it was faster and safer to jump back out of striking distance than to draw and shoot. And a poke with a stick will send any snake on its way.
So if Mr. Cedric isn't opposed to carrying a .22 handgun for that purpose.

In 1966-67 I used a "Saturday Night Special" (i.e., cheap) .22LR cal pistol and .22 rounds loaded with bird shot as a snake gun when working on our reptile populated Demo Range in Arkansas. A lot of the other unit members did also and had been in the unit in '65 and before. No one I knew there used a "good" gun because the bird shot wasn't considered good for the barrel.

The good old S&W Model 49 - the humpbacked .38 BODYGUARD loaded with a couple of .38 shot shells for snakes.
This was a classic S&W wheel gun that folks would just pop into a pocket without using a pocket holster and it was designed with that hump backed hammer shroud (covering the hammer) so that the hammer would not catch snag on the pocket when drawing the handgun from the pocket.
Unfortunately the snake shot loads were not very powerful (since they were loaded with bird-shot) and it would be very unlikely that he could have killed himself with one of those anemic .38 shotshells. Blinded himself possibly.
So he could have done what some folks still do when packing a handgun out in snake country.
That would be to set his revolver chambers up so that the first two rounds to be fired would be the shot shells (in case surprised by a poisonous snake) and the remaining 3 rounds being regular .38 SPECIAL cartridges in case he met up with the 2 legged variety of snake (also known as a very bad person)
Here (below) you can see a S&W Model Number 49 - Very Top Far Right - There is also an AirWeight Bodyguard but, I don't know of too many folks that carried the AirWeight version back then.
BTW: These are 1964 S&W Catalog prices so you're safe on your desired 1965 available handgun.

My father-in-law has for many years carried a .410 shotgun with a pistol grip in a scabbard which he calls his "snake charmer". He lives in the hills of eastern KY which is full of rattlesnakes. He always carries it when he works in his garden or the yard and when he takes walks in the woods. He has used it to kill a fair number of rattlesnakes.

Strong Customer and Company Momentum Marks Xactly's 6th Consecutive Year of Record Business Performance
SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 22, 2012 – Record company and customer growth continued at Xactly Corporation for the sixth straight year, the company announced today.
In the 12 months ended January 31, 2012, Xactly grew new customers by 57 percent over the prior year. In the second half of the year alone, Xactly added more than 120 new customers. Xactly's market-leading solution is the first cloud-based incentive calculation and commission tracking system.
Xactly's continued customer success underlines the need for cloud solutions that can efficiently automate the management of sales incentives, while providing actionable insights to both sales reps and management. In addition to rapid new customer adoption, Xactly maintained a customer renewal rate of greater than 91 percent. Its recurring revenue grew by 31 percent over the prior year and the company finished the fiscal year with yet another cash-flow positive quarter.
Customers selecting or expanding their use of Xactly Express and Xactly Incent in Xactly's fiscal year 2012 (FY12) include Cbeyond, Comscore, Cvent, LogRhythm, Nutanix, PayPal, Perceptive, Projectplace, OrthoFix, Veolia, Whitehat Security and Yammer.
"Xactly's success in the past 12 months stems in part from the continued widespread adoption of Software-as-a-service, or cloud-based solutions by larger firms," said Christopher Cabrera, president and CEO, Xactly Corporation. "In FY12 more than ever companies with over 1,000 sales reps picked Xactly to automate their incentive processes. The incredible growth in larger customers happened even as we expanded our efforts to help small-and-medium-sized businesses get better results through more strategic incentive initiatives."
Enabling Large Businesses to Incent for Success
Helping enterprise customers improve their performance management, Xactly continued to innovate its flagship platform – Incent. While adding a significant volume of new features and functionality, Xactly Incent maintained nearly 100 percent uptime in FY12.
In addition, the continued success of the platform led the company to split its multi-tenant instance of Xactly Incent into two separate pods in December 2011. Having two pods Xactly Incent will enable the company to better serve customers while also allowing room for continued customer growth.
Xactly introduced new or enhanced features and modules to Xactly Incent in FY12, including:
- Xactly Sandbox: A new workspace that allows users to pre-test incentive plan changes. By pre-testing modifications, customers can insulate their businesses from risks or disruptions.
- eDocs & Approvals: The latest version of Xactly eDocs & Approvals provides customizable workflows to automate the generating, routing, review and tracking of document approvals.
- Xactly Territories: New features for Xactly's territory management and credit assignment solution include easier uploads for orders, territories and dimension data.
- Mobile and Online Enhanced mobile functionality allows sales to access their individual and team rankings from mobile devices.
Getting SMBs on the Express Way to Better Sales and Operational Efficiency
Xactly Express, the industry's first incentive compensation management solution designed specifically for SMBs, continues to see momentous customer growth. Already, hundreds of small and emerging companies have selected Xactly Express to ease the administrative burden of managing compensation, as well as provide a competitive edge to their sales teams.
Features and innovations unlocked in FY12 include:
- Xactly Express Plan Store: Sales compensation plan templates founded on industry-leading best practices are built into Express, providing users access to best practices so they can incent right.
- Xactly Express for the iPad: This app enables reps to easily view their plan and performance against their plans, giving them access to performance-altering data anywhere.
- Eased administration: New features support commission payments in 155 currencies and help split sales credit between sales reps. The latest release improved navigation, eased setup for draws and credit adjustments and added custom fields for payment rule formulas.
Company Growth Driving Global Expansion
To support its continued success and momentum, Xactly grew in nearly all facets of the business – bolstering its strong management team, while growing its overall headcount and partner ecosystem. Highlights in FY12 include:
- International and Partner Growth: Xactly built on its partnership ecosystem, adding Zurich-based Nefos, Jerusalem-based Sana Group, Fluido in Finland, and Saleswax in Belgium to further expand into EMEA markets. A new alliance with Channelinsight provides customers with the world's first on-demand channel sales compensation solution. Xactly also strengthened important relationships with compensation experts including Mercer and ZS Associates.
- Expanded North American Operations: To support its rapid growth, Xactly expanded its U.S. operations, moving to a new headquarters in San Jose, Calif. and opening an office in Denver. All told, Xactly's grew its headcount by 38 percent.
- Bolstered Strong Management Team: The company added Christopher Newton, vice president of marketing; Ron Rasmussen, vice president of engineering; and Sam Rapp, vice president of enterprise sales to reinforce its solid management team and support its continued momentum.
- Delivered New Customer Success Community: Xactly unveiled the Xactly Customer Success Community, a new self-service customer portal that connects customers directly to Xactly experts and fellow users for discussions about best practices and ideas, as well as provide feedback and to vote on future product enhancements.
- Released Free Offering for Non-Profits: XactlyOne for Non-Profits, a new program offering qualified organizations free licenses to Xactly Incent and Xactly Express, helps non-profits more effectively manage how they are tracking to overall contribution goals. The company also celebrated the 7th year of its XactlyOne philanthropic program, through which Xactly staff supports community organizations.
- Received Industry Accolades: Xactly was recognized for both outstanding company and product performance in FY12:
- Ranked number three in The Wall Street Journal's prestigious list of the Top 50 Venture-Backed Companies.
- Won the 2011 Market Award for Incentive Management from CRM Magazine for the third consecutive year.
- Named a "Hot" Vendor in the Ventana Research 2011 Value Index for Sales Performance Management.
- Xactly CEO Christopher Cabrera named 2011 Alumni Entrepreneur of the Year by the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the USC Marshall School of Business.
- Won the CRM Excellence Award from Technology Marketing Corporation's Customer Interaction Solutions® magazine for the fourth consecutive year.

I say re sign him for another season, give him a full programme of winter testing and see what happens. P.S why has there been no report on Claudio Corti getting a CRT ride for next year? 6 agree 1 disagree

By Shingo Ito
TOKYO — A tsunami hit Japan's northeastern coastline on Wednesday, officials said, after a strong earthquake rocked the region almost exactly a year on from the country's worst post-war natural disaster.
A 6.9-magtinude quake struck 26.6 kilometres below the seabed off the northern island of Hokkaido in the Pacific at 6:08 pm local time, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
It was followed by a 20 centimetre tsunami which had prompted local authorities to issue an evacuation warning for coastal residents before it hit land.
This was followed by a moderately strong 5.7 earthquake near Tokyo, which left residents on edge.
High-speed bullet trains serving northern Japan were halted and the two runways at Tokyo's Narita International Airport were closed after the quake.
No abnormalities were reported at the Tokai No.2 nuclear power plant northeast of Tokyo, which has been shut for routine maintenance, or at Tokyo…

Did your NFL team get ripped off in 2012? Our pre-Super Bowl XLVII interactive guide to salaries across the league might give you good idea, but I wanted to figure out exactly which players provided the least bang for your bucks in the 2012 NFL season.
What follows is a list of 10 players or groups of players who weren't worth anywhere close to the money they received. The list mostly relies upon advanced statistics such as win probability added (WPA), from NFL Advanced Statistics, and defense adjusted yards above replacement (DYAR) from Football Outsiders. These stats have complex formulas behind them. To sum up simply, these statistics are merely trying to figure out how much a player or set of players is worth when controlling for the production of his team-mates and opponents. I've also mentioned more commonly known statistics, to give you a better idea about how good a player is.
The only rule I followed is that the player could not have been injured for more than eight games. Yes, an injured player must get paid, but if I counted them then any injured player would appear to be a rip-off.
So: the 10 players who were a rip-off in 2012. Feel free to disagree in the comments section below...
David Akers ($3.6m – fifth-highest among placekickers)
San Francisco has brought in potential replacements – with good reason – for a man who may determine the winner of the Super Bowl. Akers had the second-worst list field- goal percentage, at 69%, was one of only seven kickers to miss a field goal from less than 30 yards and had the most misses from 40 to 49 yards among those with at least 15 attempts.
Dwayne Bowe ($9.5m - fourth-highest among wide receivers)
The 2-14 Chiefs got no help from this highly paid receiver. Bowe ended up with a WPA of 67th out of 76 receivers, 65th out of 76 on catch rate (passes thrown in his direction that he caught), 53rd out of 76 in receiving touchdowns, with three, and 43rd out of 76 for success rate (plays that help add to a team's chance of scoring). Eww.
Larry Fitzgerald ($13.3m – second-highest among receivers)
The Cardinals wide receiver may have been great in past seasons but he was a big reason his team finished 5-11. A WPA of 75th out of 76 receivers listed, a catch rate of 74th out of 76, a yards per reception ranking of 65th out of 76, only four receiving touchdowns and the worst DYAR for any receiver with more than 50 catches in the NFL all made Fitzgerald's year one to forget.
Peyton Hillis ($2.9m – 25th-highest among running backs)
Hillis didn't get paid very much, comparatively, but he was probably worth zero dollars. The Chiefs running back only touched the ball 95 times for a little less than 400 yards of total offense. He had the second worst DYAR among those with 20 to 99 carries and he scored only once.
Kansas City Chiefs defense ($63.3m – sixth-highest among defenses)
Lots of Chiefs are on this list – for good reason. The Chiefs were the third-worst in defensive-adjusted value over average, last in interceptions with seven, eighth worst in points allowed per game with 26.6 and third worst in sacks with only 27. The fans probably would have done better.
Darren McFadden ($7.8m – sixth among running backs)
Oakland was not much better than Kansas City, and McFadden was a large reason why. He was dead last in rushing DOVA for those with at least 100 carries, dead last in receiving DOVA for running backs with at least 25 pass receptions, 46th in yards per carry with 3.3 andworst in WPA among running backs listed. And he had only two rushing touchdowns. Awful.
Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow ($11.9m combined – sixth-highest among quarterbacks)
These guys are atrocious. Sanchez's ranked worst in WPA among QBs, 35th out of 39 in completion rate at 54.3%, and had the second-highest number of interceptions, with 18. Tebow attempted only eight passes, was sacked twice in very few chances and only averaged 3.2 yards during his little rushes.
Philip Rivers ($15.3m – third-highest among quarterbacks)
Norv Turner doesn't deserve all the blame for the Chargers' disastrous year. Rivers placed 33rd out of 39 on WPA, in the top 11 in interceptions with 15, 24th out of 39 in yards per attempt, and 20th out of 39 in success rate.
Tennessee Titans offensive line ($30.6m – second-highest among lines):
Grading offensive lines is tough. Still, when you take everything into effect, Tennessee's line probably should have been the second-lowest, not second-highest paid. They were second-worst in adjusted line yards and 19th of 32nd in adjusted sack rate, and not one lineman position ranked higher than 22nd out of 32 for adjusted yards.
Michael Vick ($13.9m – fourth-highest among quarterbacks)
When Vick could actually get in the game, it was a sight not to be seen. A WPA of 31st out of 39 for quarterbacks, completion rate of 28th out of 39, an interception per game and a DYAR ranking of 28th out of 39 for those QBs with more than 100 passes forced Eagles' fans yearn for the days of Donovan McNabb.

Premier League betting preview: Sunderland
Summer Summary
There was one major arrival at the Stadium of Light this summer. Sadly Bruce Springsteen's skills are more suited to producing stadium rock anthems than keeping a midfield ticking over and outside of that, it's been pretty quiet. Craig Gordon has been released on a free. Nicklas Bendtner and his Paddy Power Lucky Pants have returned to Arsenal. Carlos Cuellar has been snapped up on a free from Aston Villa. Told you it was quiet.
Something to be positive about
The guts of the squad that performed brilliantly at times last season remains and there's every chance Bendtner will be back before the transfer window slams shut. The players will get the benefit of basking in Martin O'Neill's motivational greatness for an entire pre-season so hopefully that will translate into a more consistent performance.
Something to be a bit worried about
The honeymoon period that began when Martin O'Neill took over in December lasted a while, but it seemed to come to a shuddering halt in the last couple of months of the season. The Black Cats ended the season without a win in their last eight Premier League matches. It could have been the players thinking a little too hard about their summer holidays having avoided relegation, but there's a chance Martin's miracles aren't working as well as they used to.
An optimistic season bet
After getting his first pre-season with Sunderland, you'd expect O'Neill will have his team more organised and Martin O'Neill-like for the new season. It would require some sudden improvement, but 10/1 to win the Betting without the Big Six isn't totally outlandish.
A more realistic season bet
11/10 to Finish in the Top 10.
New arrivals
Carlos Cuellar (Aston Villa, free)
Packing their bags
Craig Gordon (released)
Jordan Cook (released)
AsamoahGyan (Al Ain undisclosed fee)
George McCartney (West Ham, undisclosed)
