The Worst Call Ever! (Book)
2 Recommendations
Aswan's recommendation
Umpires and refs are humans too. Doesn't mean we can't berate them for bad calls, especially when the stakes are so high. This books documents some of the worst calls made in sports history, amateur and professional, many of which were pivotal in the outcomes of important games.
lashaunda's recommendation
I'm not a sports fan in the least, but I'm all too familiar with those angry football and baseball fanatics that make it their life's mission to seek out, hunt, and kill referees and coaches who make ill-fated calls. This book is a collection of all those past, present, and future prey and the calls they made that may or may not cost them their lives. A great directory (I mean book) for that sports fanatic in your life.

RB Mark Weisman will likely be key for HawkeyesBy LUKE MEREDITH , Associated Press
Jun. 26, 2013 3:47 AM ET
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Last summer, even the biggest Iowa fans barely knew who Mark Weisman was.

One of the few bright spots for Iowa last season was the emergence of Weisman, a former walk-on fullback who showed he could be among the Big Ten's best ball carriers _ when healthy. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)
1 of 1
The walk-on fullback is now one of the most important parts of Iowa's offense, and his health will be crucial for the Hawkeyes in 2013. Weisman unexpectedly emerged as one of the top running backs in the Big Ten a year ago before nagging injuries limited his effectiveness.
Iowa was at its best when Weisman was on the field, and the Hawkeyes are counting on him being available for all of the 2013 season.
They're also hoping that all the extra bodies at running back with Weisman will help. They include Damon Bullock, Jordan Canzeri — who's back after missing 2012 with an ACL tear — and youngsters Barkley Hill and Michael Malloy.
"As far as I know his health is great. He was fine in the spring," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said Tuesday of Weisman. "One thing we can do to help him and Bullock and help everybody is just to have a little bit more depth where those guys don't have to shoulder the whole load."
Iowa has had bad luck with running backs in recent years. With Weisman, the Hawkeyes finally got lucky.
The Chicago-area native — who proudly sported a Blackhawks shirt on Tuesday, a day after the team won the Stanley Cup — transferred to Iowa after never playing a down at Air Force. He redshirted in 2011 and hardly figured in Iowa's plans as a sophomore in 2012. But as back after back became unavailable for various reasons, Weisman was forced into action.
It was quickly apparent that he was just what the Hawkeyes' sputtering offense needed.
Weisman scored three touchdowns in his first real action at running back, helping Iowa survive against Northern Iowa. He got his first start at tailback against Central Michigan and was nearly unstoppable, rushing for 217 yards and three more TDs.
Weisman followed up with 293 yards in his first two Big Ten games, but he injured his right ankle in a win at Michigan State in October. He wasn't able to carry the offense much after that, missing close losses to Indiana and Purdue, and failing to gain 100 yards in a game the rest of the season.
Weisman's injury issues were just one of a litany of problems that caused Iowa to finish with six straight losses and a 4-8 record.
"When Mark had to go, he was basically the only guy we had back there. Hopefully we'll have a little bit more balance this year," Ferentz said.
Weisman, who said Tuesday that he's "feeling great," hasn't changed much about his workout routines to accommodate his switch from fullback to full-time tailback.
The 6-foot, 236-pound Weisman is working more with the skill position players while incorporating extra drills for cutting and flexibility. But for the most part, Weisman is preparing for 2013 just like he did when few outside of the Iowa football complex knew who he was.
"I don't think it impacts it at all. You're just trying to get stronger, faster, more durable and just more flexible," Weisman said. "You're just trying to work as hard as you can and just get better as fast as possible."
Of course, added depth means more competition for carries.
Weisman and Bullock are expected to start the season as the featured ball carriers. But Canzeri looked very strong in spring ball, and certainly the Hawkeyes know as well as anyone that things can change very quickly at running back.
Weisman insists that he won't change the approach that helped him blossom from backup to star last season.
"You've just got to have that walk-on mentality no matter what's out there," Weisman said. "Just working like someone's trying to outwork you because everyone is trying to outwork you."

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) -- United Rentals Inc. and RSC Holdings Inc. both said Friday that shareholders at their respective companies have voted in favor of United's pending $2.51 billion acquisition of RSC.
Greenwich, Conn.-based United said that 83 percent of the shares voted at its Friday meeting were in favor of the deal, while Scottsdale, Ariz.-based RSC said that 84 percent of the shares voted at its meeting supported the agreement.
The approval by shareholders satisfies one of the last major requirements for the combination of the rival rental equipment companies to close. The companies said they still expect the deal to close by Monday.
Under the terms of the deal announced in December, RSC shareholders will receive $10.80 in cash and 0.2783 of a share of United Rentals common stock for each of their RSC shares.
Based on United's Thursday closing price, the deal values RSC at $23.59 per share, or a total of $2.51 billion.
In afternoon trading, RSC shares rose 79 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $24.08, while United shares added $2.81, or 6.1 percent, to $47.76.

Small Deck. Need input on lumber.
I'm building a small deck which will run just outside the bedrooms sliding glass door to the hot tub. Only a distance of 64" from the door to the tub. Length is about 13'. And I am going to run the decking length wise. So walking out of the door looking down the decking will span side to side. The decking will also run down the side of the hot tub, as a walkway. This will only be aprox 2' side to side, but 12' from the room down to the "bottom" side of the tub and step down to the patio slab. I can draw a sort of schematic and scan and upload if it will help. But I am on my phone right now. Anyway, the ground is only about 8" below the bottom of the sliders threshold so it will be a low deck. My thoughts for lumber are as follows: 4x4 pressure treated posts in concrete for anchors. 4x6 beams along the perimeter, and one down the center of the 13' span. 2x6 for the joists and 2x6 for the decking.
First question is does this make sense, second is as far as lumber, am I on the right track? Being unemployed I am on a budget but I don't want anyone falling thru the deck. It will be used frequently this winter but scarcely after that. At that point it will only be used was a secondary backyard exit/entry and random hot tub use. Any input will be appreciated.
I would never use a 4 X 6 or even a 6 by 6 for a beam.
There not made to be side loaded and are prone to sagging, twisting or curling.
You use ganged up 2X's instead.
I would use 5/4 decking not 2X's.
Use ceramic coated decking screws not nails for the decking.
Keep in mind that decking needs to be a min. of 4" below that door.
Build the deck as a free standing deck, not attached to the house.
Do not install the siding tight to the side of the house.
Why 13", lumber does not come 13' long, make it 12' or 14' so you do not have as much waste.
sounds like you are placing the hot tub on the deck. with that and the closeness to the ground I think you'd be better served in the long run to install a reinforced concrete slab for the hot tub and a patio instead of the deck.
Constructing a deck that close to the ground is only asking for issues as it will be difficult to ventilate moisture trapped under the deck. joists that are wet on the bottom and dried by the sun on top will wrap and twist.
just my humble thoughts,
Good luck!
I am not putting the hot tub on the deck. The tub is already placed. And I will go with ganged 2x6's as advised. I will take pics and upload tomoro to get a better idea of what I'm doing. Thanks for all the input so far. Does pressure treated 4x4's in concrete sound ok for the piers?
When building I considered 4x4 post but 4x6 looked to me like a better option for not much more money. 2x8 for all joist on 2 ft. centers with Georgia's best treated pine lumber for the decking.
As much as I like the look and feel of wood, if I were to ever do it again I would take a serious look at synthetic deck floor material. The lumber now available for decks on a budget is rather unruly to install and gets worse over time. If it decides to warp, twist or bow no ring shank nails or screws are going to hold it in place very long.
this link will provide you with the American Wood Council's "Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide." This guide is based upon the requirements of the 2009 International Residential Code, the basis for local and state building codes. http://www.awc.org/publications/DCA/DCA6/DCA6-09.pdf
joists and beam sizing are provided in the guide based upon the species of wood to be used. It will provide construction details.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
That guide was a huge eye opener. Thank you very much!! Much appreciated.
glad it helped!
post any questions you might have, there are a lot of experienced talented members on this forum
Some good information but I would never attach a ledger board to a building. OK, possibly with one exception, if it was completely under roof where absolutely no inclement weather could reach it.
But free standing is so much easier.
Fairview, so true ....
the only added requirement is the lateral bracing at all corners of the deck since you are not using the existing dwelling to provide lateral stability.
Lateral Bracing - the height the OP's deck will be I doubt if lateral bracing will be needed but I can see where it would be necessary on some of those taller decks.
My deck height ranges from about a foot in height next to the house to around 3 ft. out at 14 ft. from the house and it is solid with no lateral bracing. The 4x6 posts may help that too.
true about the OP, I was commenting on free standing vs attached decks in general ....
I myself prefer patios over deck when they are that close to the ground. the deck will not last as long when they are that close to the ground as they tend to trap moisture under the deck which causes twisting of the joists. Personal preference.
One more thing to consider: how far is it from your deck to the fence line? A lot of municipalities won't let you build a deck within x feet of a property line, seen anywhere between 5ft and 15ft.

Hey guys.
I dont know how to start or even type what I have put my family through I had just been talking to a friend who has alerted me to what I have let happen here on the TDH. I dont blame you guys for being worried about this project. I didnt mean for this to happen, but during November and December I reached rock bottom financially and spiritually. I became depressed and kind of been out of touch to some of my responsibilities. During the fall I have been doing work for ucsd on one of their condeminium complexes and during that time I have been getting by. I did a lot of change orders for them and they started piling up. I invoiced them at the end of October when the job was done and they basically said what the hell is this? The superintendent just screwed me for all the change orders. I did them in good faith apon verbal agreement was supposed to invoice him at the end and now he says he doesnt remember all the extra work I did for him. It has been months now try to fight them and get my money. I was counting on that money because I fronted a lot of the job already. I thought ok, Ill pick something up November and I should be ok. Yeah right! It got worse. All this has taken a toll on my marriage because of stress. I was just about to lose my house, right now I am working with my bank to get everything straightened out. The house is the main reason I have not talked to anyone here on the board. I cant lose the house because its the house I grew up in. I had bought it from my father so I cant disappoint my parents. It cant be any worse right? I am starting to pick up small jobs but nothing to that will get my over the hump just yet, a term that I have never used until this year. I have a really good job in three weeks so I am starting to be optimistic.
I have not talked to the boot maker since the week of thanksgivings. Back then he was going to finish the boots and give me an update but with the holidays and the bad time I was having I havent called them. I know that they shut down for these weeks so I am sure theyre still not done. I will see if I can get an update for you and a timeline asap.
I am sorry that I have not been more persistent on them as I should but I promise that is going to change. I am not going to let drag on any further.
Hopefully I can restore confidence in you guys soon and I know its all my fault for letting it get this far. I am sorry I let you guys down. I hope that you understand that this has never happened to me and I didnt know how to handle it but we are going through it.
I was debating wether or not to post all the details of what I have been going through here openly. I was going to chicken out and pm everybody on this project privately, but my friend basically said to me to be honest and address it to the whole TDH.

The Utah Utes joined the Pac-12 Conference for the money, the prestige and the chance to play … Oklahoma?
That just might turn out to be the case, if the league winds up expanding for the second time in a year. All indications kept pointing to that scenario Monday, when the boards of regents at Oklahoma and Texas authorized their presidents to take action on conference realignment the expected first step toward the Pac-12 adding four schools from the Big 12 Conference to form a 16-team "superconference."
If that happens, the Utes not only will have joined the likes of USC, Oregon and Stanford in their new league, but Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, as well.
Not that they want to talk about it, just yet.
With nothing decided after two weeks of turmoil in the college sports world and schools and conferences nationwide scrambling to position themselves, the Utes are staying quiet probably in part because they are one of the two new schools in the prestigious Pac-12 and unwilling to make waves.
Athletic director Chris Hill declined to comment on the potential expansion because the decision will be made by the university presidents in the league nine of the 12 would have to approve any decision and interim university president Lorris Betz declined an interview request through a spokesman, referring all questions to Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott, who was not available for comment.
"It would be hard to say anything of substance," Hill said.
Media reports in Texas and Oklahoma have indicated the merger is nearly a done deal, however, even though Oklahoma president David Boren and Texas president William Powers both said staying in the Big 12 remains an option.
Boren made clear that the Sooners and in-state rival Oklahoma State will act in concert; the Cowboys have scheduled a regents meeting on Wednesday.
"Whatever we do, we're going to do it together," Boren said.
Also apparently under discussion is how an expanded Pac-16 would operate. The Austin American-Statesman reports that one idea under consideration is to divide the league into four "pods" for scheduling purposes, much like the old 16-team Western Athletic Conference.
In such an arrangement, each school could play the other three in its pod in football every year, and two from each of the other pods on a rotating basis. That would allow teams to preserve regional rivalries, while also enjoying exposure in other parts of the league, most critically Southern California.
The Utes seem likely to be grouped with Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State in such an alignment, with the four Northwest schools in another pod, the California schools in a third and the former Big 12 schools in a fourth.
The model did not work for the far-flung WAC from 1996 to 1998.
Teams were so spread out that travel costs and logistics quickly became a problem. The league stretched from Hawaii in the west to Oklahoma and Texas in the east, with the Utes and Brigham Young Cougars in between, yet was not attractive enough nationally to command top dollar for broadcast rights, which then had to be shared 16 ways.
"There wasn't a plan in place" to address scheduling issues, WAC commissioner Karl Benson said, "or enough money to satisfy the equity of the members, specifically BYU and Utah."
Fans were disinterested in untraditional matchups, too hello, Utah at Tulsa? and the Utes and Cougars ultimately led an exodus that resulted in the formation of the Mountain West Conference in 1999.
Both teams left the Mountain West last summer, the Utes to join the Pac-12 and the Cougars to play football independently.
Even now, fans seem to dislike the idea of superconferences, with a KRC Research poll released Monday showing that 76 percent of college graduates within Big 12 states would be disappointed by the creation of superconferences. The poll was commissioned by Baylor University, however, which has managed to keep Texas A&M from leaving the Big 12 for the SEC with the threat of legal action.
That plan Texas A&M to the SEC was the one that triggered the latest round of conference realignment furor.
Yet a Pac-16 seems much more likely to survive than the old WAC, in part because travel costs would not be quite so staggering no Hawaii in the league, for one thing and its high-profile members all have massive athletic budgets that will be fueled by a $3 billion broadcast deal with ESPN and Fox Sports.
In fact, incorporating Texas' new television network with the new deal the Pac-12 recently reached with ESPN and Fox might be one of Scott's biggest challenges in making a 16-team league work for everybody.
The American-Statesman reported that any deal to add the Big 12 schools to the Pac-12 would allow the Longhorns to keep the network and most of its revenue "along the same lines" of their 20-year deal with ESPN that will pay Texas $300 million. The Longhorn Network effectively would become one of the regional networks the Pac-12 has been planning as part of its new Pac-12 Network, the newspaper said, by adding Texas Tech and including some other content from around the league.
That might not be an easy sell for some existing Pac-12 members, for the same reason it chafed rivals in the Big 12 who feared the Longhorns were gaining an unfair advantage.
Even Oklahoma's Boren hinted at it Monday, saying that the Sooners will insist on playing in a league in which television revenue is shared equally.
"Our goal is to be an equal partner in any network, and we think it ought to be the goal of every other member of any conference that we're a part of to be an equal member of that conference," Boren said. "We all ought to value each other every single member of that conference and none of us should seek to play a stronger leadership role than anyone else."
Scott also figures to encounter some resistance to the structure of the league, especially from schools that don't want to head east to play. Colorado president Bruce Benson recently complained about the prospect of getting "shorted out of the West Coast" if the league adds the Big 12 teams and splits into east and west divisions.
The Buffs joined the Pac-12 along with the Utes last summer, and made no effort to contain their relief at trading the Big 12 for a league whose footprint includes most of its alumni.
In any case, the Pac-12 isn't expected to make any formal moves until the Big 12 schools request or apply for membership.
Meanwhile, Scott is expected to seek opinions if not approval from the existing Pac-12 presidents, after reportedly meeting for three hours with Texas' Powers in Los Angeles over the weekend, in conjunction with the Longhorns' game at UCLA.
Whenever it all ends, the Utes could wind up with even more of a sporting treasure than they anticipated.
Staff writer Tony Jones and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
From Pac-10 to Pac-12 to … Pac-16 Conference?
If the Pac-12 Conference adds four teams from the Big 12 Conference, it could be split into four "pods" for scheduling. The idea would be to preserve regional rivalries but also allow teams exposure to other markets in the league, especially Southern California.
Here's one way the alignment might look, with each member's football team playing the other three in its pod every year, along with two members of every other pod on a rotating basis to form a 9-game conference schedule:
Oregon State
Washington State
Arizona State
Oklahoma State
Texas Tech

They do not come on at all. Thank you.
Just got one yesterday, and it does not seem to be powering up at all. I soldered a 6 pin header onto my Arduino Pro Mini, lined up the pins, plugged it in, plugged it into the computer and… nothing. I tried two separate cable to rule that out. I plugged my Duemilanove in and it still works. Am I forgetting something?
No public wish lists :(

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - UAB junior right-handed pitcher Andre Parks (Luverne, Ala.) earned selection to the Conference USA second team that was announced today in New Orleans. The picks were made following a voting process that consisted of the league's head coaches, sports information directors and selected media.
Parks finished his second season with the Blazers by compiling a 5-1 record with a 2.83 earned run average. He threw 54 innings and allowed 19 runs (17 earned) on 40 hits and 36 walks with 38 strikeouts. He led the club in opponent's batting average by surrending a paltry .205.
During the campaign, Parks tallied a seven-inning shutout against Eastern Ilinois and blanked Louisville in a complete game - retiring the first 15 Cardinal batters he facedm in that contest. He also threw seven shutout innings in a combined shutout over Memphis, while also tallying victories over Alabama and Mississippi State during the year.
A two-time C-USA Pitcher of the Week in 2001, Parks had two of the team's three complete games on the year.
Tulane captured most of the individual awards as Jake Gautreau collected Player of the Year honors, while Michael Aubrey was named Freshman of the Year and Rick Jones Coach of the Year. Charlotte's John Maine was tabbed as the league's Pitcher of the Year.
The league will hold its postseason tournament at Zephyr Field in Metairie, La., May 16-20 with the winner receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament the following week.

Use of plastic adhesive drapes during surgery for preventing surgical site infection (Review)
Webster, Joan & Alghamdi, Abdullah (2007) Use of plastic adhesive drapes during surgery for preventing surgical site infection (Review). Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, pp. 1-16.
|PDF (76kB)
Background Surgical site infection has been estimated to occur in about 15% of clean surgery and 30% of contaminated surgery. Using plastic adhesive drapes to protect the wound from organisms that may be present on the surrounding skin during surgery is one strategy used to prevent surgical site infection. Results from non-randomised studies have produced conflicting results about the efficacy of this approach but no systematic review has been conducted to date to guide clinical practice.
Objectives To assess the effect of adhesive drapes used during surgery on surgical site infection, cost, mortality and morbidity.
Search strategy We searched the Cochrane Wounds Group Specialised Register (last searched 24/4/07), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library Issue 2,2007), Ovid MEDLINE (1950 to April Week 2, 2007), Ovid EMBASE (1980 to 2007 Week 16), and Ovid CINAHL (1982 to 1980 to April Week 2 2007).
Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials comparing any plastic adhesive drape with no adhesive drape, used alone or in combination with woven (material) drapes or disposable (paper) drapes in patients undergoing any type of surgery.
Data collection & analysis Two authors independently selected and assessed studies for trial quality and both independently extracted data. Study authors were contacted for additional information.
Main results This review includes five studies involving 3,082 participants comparing adhesive drapes with no drape and two studies involving 1,113 participants comparing iodine-impregnated adhesive drapes with no drape. A significantly higher proportion of patients in the adhesive drape group developed a surgical site infection when compared with no drape. (Relative Risk (RR) 1.23, 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) 1.02 to 1.48, p=0.03). Iodine-impregnated adhesive drapes had no effect on the surgical site infection rate (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.064 to 1.66, p=0.89). Length of hospital stay was similar in adhesive drape and non-adhesive drape groups.
Reviewers' conclusions There was no evidence from the seven trials that plastic adhesive drapes reduces surgical site infection rate and some evidence that they increase infection rates.
Further trials may be justified using blinded outcome assessment to examine the effect of adhesive drapes on surgical site infection based on different wound classifications.

Topic: Trees
Title: Susceptibility of Shumard oaks to oak wilt
Answered by: Dean Garrett
QUESTION:I have planted a red oak tree. I am still trying to locate the ID tag for the type. I planted it two or three years ago. I purchased the tree from either Lowes or Home Depot. Is there a type of red oak that is not susceptible to oak wilt? Shumard oak? A neighborhood 10 miles away has had oak wilt. Should I remove mine and consider a different tree for the neighborhood?
ANSWER:Unfortunately, red oaks are more susceptible to oak wilt than any other oaks. There is no red oak species that is immune to the disease. Once infected, a red oak will die faster from oak wilt than other oaks, usually within a few weeks as opposed to the few months it takes live oaks to succumb.
How various oaks become infected also differs. In live oaks connected by their roots in an area hit by oak wilt, the disease spreads at an average of 75 to 100 feet per year through the roots. With red oaks, the infection is almost always spread by certain flying insects to bark-damaged trees that may be far distant from the source tree, so rate of spread isn't as predictable.
As to whether to remove your tree or not, that's a hard question. There are neighborhoods here in Austin filled with beautiful, old and young native red oaks that haven't been infected and may never be. They add so much to the neighborhoods that it would be a shame to remove them, but proper preventive care must be addressed, mostly having to do with avoiding open wounds on the trees. More information on this and other oak wilt issues can be found on the following websites:
If you decide to remove your red oak, here are some suggestions for regional oak species that are not as vulnerable to oak wilt and would do well in your area:
Burr Oak (Quercus macrocarpa)
Chinquapin Oak (Quercus muehlenbergii)
Post Oak (Quercus stellata)
Lacey Oak (Quercus laceyi)

UPDATE 1-Citigroup sees Q3 loss for JPMorgan; cuts '08,'09 view
(Recasts; adds details, share movement)
Oct 13 (Reuters) - Citigroup said it expects JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N: Cotización) to post a loss in the third quarter, reflecting its estimates for loan loss provisions and write-downs at the U.S. banking giant.
The brokerage now expects JPMorgan to report a loss of 32 cents a share in the quarter, compared with its earlier estimate of a profit of 23 cents a share.
Citigroup, which rates the stock "hold," said it sees $3.2 billion of reserve build and likely write downs of $3.4 billion for JPMorgan in the third quarter.
The brokerage cut its earnings estimates on the bank to $1.35 from $1.95 a share for 2008. It lowered its 2009 earnings estimate by 25 cents to $2.70 a share to reflect more conservative view on credit and reduced outlook for investment banking.
"We believe the near- to intermediate-term outlook remains challenged in light of higher credit costs in card and the retail bank, as well as the increasing likelihood of sustained lower revenues from JPMorgan's capital markets business," analyst Keith Horowitz wrote in a note to clients.
The analyst retained his target price of $40 on the stock, saying there are also likely to be several positive signs, including increased market share across JPMorgan's key businesses that actually improve its longer-term outlook.
Shares of JPMorgan were down 4 percent at $40.01 Monday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Anurag Kotoky in Bangalore; Editing by Deepak Kannan)

What I would have done differently is this, first I would have been paying better attention as a driver. I always scan ahead of me to make sure I know what is going on. IF I made the mistake of pulling in to the lane of a motorcycle I would have apologized and then dropped it.
I think this guy in the car was trying to show out for his girl. I personally don't need to show off for my Wife, she knows I'm awesome already; plus she would call me on it as soon as I started acting like a fool.
If I did that and apologized and then the biker looked at me cross ways again, like at the stop light, I would have simply waved as to say "dude, really I apologize." I don't have pride issues and can drop things like that.
Now, for whatever reason all of this happened and the guy still came up to my window and assaulted me, I'd deal with it swiftly using as much violence as the situation required. But I doubt it would have ever started, again I scan ahead to make sure I know what is going on.

I think the guy driving the car and the the guy on the motorcycle should have waited for the guy on the bicycle to catch up and then kicked his butt.

Car was wrong for crossing over into bikes lane. He should have slowed for the bicyclist and stayed in his own lane and only moved over after it was clear to do so. Bike rider was wrong for assaulting the driver of the car. Two wrongs don't make a right, but as I see it, the car driver should have called the cops, gave them the tag number, and filed assault charges on him. He has the proof on video.

Also, did you notice how the driver phrased his question to the biker? He said, "Did you not see the ..." That's Canadian, as any American would have said, "Didn't you see the..."I noticed a Canadian flag so It looks like this could have happened in Canada.
As for justification for shooting, a major problem is going to be the "reasonable person" test. There's a biker in front of you. He is angry that you almost clipped him in traffic because you weren't paying attention. He yelled at you for almost hitting him. Then, in a fit of utter stupidity, you start yelling back at him.
So he gets off his bike and comes back to your car. You could roll up your window, take evasive action, etc. But failing all that, the guy pops you one.
Up to this point, we have a standard case of mild road rage. The "in fear for my life" standard has not been met. Biker pulling a weapon, biker making a sustained assault, biker adding language to assault, that could start to get you there.
And this has been another edition of: "Hey, can I shoot him now? Is it OK to shoot him? Can I? Please?"
"It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first."

Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.

Question on Cutting a gas tank
Not sure what section to post this in, but this about a gas tank. Before anyone freaks out, I'm collecting a LOT of info on this before I do anything, just FYI. Seen a few articles of people blowing themselves up with this, so not taking this lightly. I have a fab tank I took from my donor truck, which is also where the engine came from(so the sending unit is good). It is just too long to fit between the frame rails. From the look and smell of it it hasn't held gas in a while, the donor truck is a 2 tanker and the last owner said this side didn't work. Anyways, I like the construction, depth, and make of the tank, so how do I SAFELY cut this thing down? Is there a safe way? There are a lot of DIY guys on this forum, anyone have any experience?
I've never had any problems after cleaning a tank but a tank with baffles is harder to clean. Some use argon to purge any oxygen inside so an explosion can't happen and I've seen guys run an exhaust hose from a vehicle for a purge. If it's clean and there is NO CHANCE of any gas hiding inside, you should be fine. I've even been inside of gasoline storage tanks in a refinery while welding work was going on. All they do is clean em before welding. Also, good ventilation is a good idea too....
A gas tank could set completely dry for several years and still have enough fumes in it to blow your head off if you were to cut or weld on it. The safest way to approach it would be to have it steamed out or thoroughly cleaned at a radiator shop and checked with a hydro carbon tester or "sniffer" to make sure it isn't still hot before cutting it.
There are a few ways to get by without going to that much trouble, but I don't recommend them to anyone. It just isn't worth taking a chance on having it blow up.
I will third these opinions
I have cut them before using other methods( very dangerous) so dont play with fire here...you will get burnt.....
Take it to a radiator shop n have it cleaned and fill it with an inert gas (not hydrogen please) such as nitrogen or argon.
You also didnt mention what material the tank was constructed of Al.,steel or other!
Like I said before Ive done it,but Im not gonna say how as its a "Do not try this at home" deal
be carefull!
one time when i was welding a piece of sheet metal on a fuel tank it started burning like a jet! i am not jokeing it burnt my fingers so bad! i have got the scars to prove! i had rinsed it with water several times before. but what my dad does [who works at a diesel shop] is rinse with water blow it out with an air compresor the repeat his several times.
As always on these forums, the safety police like to come out in their full riot gear whenever something even remotely dangerous is mentioned. Fill with an inert gas? Purge it with exhaust?? Geeze guys, why give such advise?
I've cut and welded a dozen tanks in my time and all I've ever done it is fill them with water until overflowing several times to wash anthing in there, out. Once you've done that nothing is going to ignite no howm no way, no time.
I also aint skeered to weld or gind near gas tanks either. I just finished rebuilding the frame and installing custom exhaust on my Galaxie with the tank half full (see my blog). Gas tanks don't just blow up everyday - or there'd be a LOT less of us doing this stuff....
Of course I'm not kicking safety to the curb, I'm just depositing a dose of reality into the conversation.
Sometimes people dont know the experience of the OP,obviously hes never done this before,and personally I have been there done that,I just take my own calculated risks but dont wanna be resposible by someone getinn badly burnt,been there done that too.
Worked in a Diesel shop been there done that too.
Ive been working on Diesels over 40 years
So everythig is cool man!
Its all about opinions and advise,In the end what he does is up to him.
Im just tellin him what I think
And your tellin him what you think
That being said, I totally disagree with the "do not try this at home" mantra. If you have a brain, are thoughtful (like the OP obviously is since he said he realizes the risks) and ask others with expereince how to go about it, then you should be able to do anything. So lets give USEABLE advise on doing it and doing it safely - not "I do it, but you shouldn't". I hate that.
Look Smokey lowered a spark plug hooked to a live and firing coil into a 55 gal drum half full of gas to prove a point(no fire no explosion) then he lowered a lit propane deal into the same drum(KABOOM!!) proves flame ignition is better than spark ignition any day.
I dont know what GJ.com is,you know sometimes little fish in big ponds can learn a lot.
Ok dissagree all you want! Its your rite,but dont tell the guy to do it............
Its up to him!!!!!!
So maybe you are right,maybe I only have half a brain,but I still got it...use all of it too,,
Flammable storage tanks are potential bombs and should be treated as such. Same as "unloaded" weapons: you have to take positive measures to ensure they are. We read about people being killed or injured by weapons and flammable storage tanks on a regular basis and continue to ignore sound safety procedures. I will continue to be a "safety net" when caution is to be strictly followed. I knew a couple of younger guys that were in the business of cleaning flammable tanker trucks and trailers. They had been in business for several successful years when it caught up with them. They had spent the morning cleaning a tanker trailer before breaking for lunch. They returned and started a planned repair when it exploded. Their remains were so jumbled that it was difficult to determine who was who. Never heard the final analysis as to what went wrong, but just another event to learn from.
By the way, radiator shops in my area will not clean fuel tanks. OSHA Snake's head is too deadly for them.
cutting gas tank......
Hi,ive cut a few tanks in my time,i put a hose in the tank,and let the water overflow for awhile,then,when the tank is full of water,(i mean,REALLY FULL) i cap the tank and cut it using a 4 inch grinder with a metal cutting disc.then dump the water out,let it set in the sun for a few days,and then do the repair.
Thanks all for the advice! Lot of great stuff here as always. I was actually all set to go, I took a trip to the junk yard yesterday. A perfect size tank fell right at my feet. Literally, it fell ony foot when I was moving some crap out of a blazer to look in. But thanks all, as always. I'll be using this thread before the truck is done, for sure. Thanks!
I have welded and cut on tank's many times... I just wash them out really good and get after it... I don't sit it out in the sun at all.... I don't like the idea of it being in the sun before I weld on it.. Heat will make fumes..
Wash it good and you should be fine....
Now I'm not saying it isn't dangerous.. It is... But it's also dangerous to get under a car on stands,, It's also dangerous to stand under a car on a lift..It's also dangerous to drive your family down a street when someone may be coming towards you that has been drinking..
My point is.. Everything is dangerous and some kind of way... Just use you head when doing something like this.. Do your home work to find out what work's, And what doesn't....Be safe when doing any of these things...
i clean them out with dawn soap. but i also use argon from my welder.

The Angels' Share
The only British entry in the Cannes official competition required English subtitles last night to avoid any confusion, such is the delightful richness of the Glasgow dialect in The Angels' Share. Even then, there was some international puzzlement about the word "tadger".
Director Ken Loach is an old Cannes hand, having won the Palme d'Or in 2006 for The Wind that Shakes the Barley, but this latest entry has great comic timing, as well as the usual dose of social realism, and involves a kilted whisky heist at one of Scotland's finest distilleries, to the tune of The Proclaimers' I'm Gonna be 500 Miles.
Written by Loach's regular collaborator Paul Laverty, the story opens with a screamingly funny scene of a drunk, blootered on "Bucky"…

Cleaning and disinfecting key to flood recovery
July 1, 2013
Rockford, Ill. --The recent rains have created flash flood conditions across the region. In addition to flooded roads and fields, many residents have experienced flooding inside their homes. In many cases, water has intruded into basements in limited areas rather than several inches across the whole basement. These smaller areas require the same thorough cleaning and disinfecting to recover after a flood.
Receding floodwaters and infiltrated water may contain sewage and other contaminants, including pathogens that are harmful to people, according to Stanley Solomon, University of Illinois Extension educator, energy and environmental stewardship, serving the Jo Daviess-Stephenson-Winnebago region.
Mold is the long term concern from the flood damage. Mold can start growing on wet materials in 24 to 48 hours. Thus, it is important to get all materials dried as quickly as possible that were exposed to moisture.
Safety is the most important starting point. Avoid mixing electricity and water! Don't enter areas where electrical equipment or outlets may be exposed to the standing water. Using personal protective equipment is critical for anyone cleaning after a flood.
Solomon recommends rubber gloves, eye protection and clothes that can be immediately laundered (or a protective suit) as a minimum. A proper fitting N-95, N-100 or HEPA-rated respirator/mask is recommend, especially if there is any indication of mold or if there have been overland floodwaters in the home from swollen streams and rivers.
Various water-soaked materials require different treatment plans:
- Remove porous materials such as drywall, carpet and carpet pad that are wet or have indications of mold growth.
- Highly-absorbent porous materials such as carpet padding, drywall, insulation, and furniture stuffing should be discarded in most cases. These usually cannot be dried quickly enough to prevent mold growth and difficult to adequately clean.
- Nonporous materials such as glass, hard plastic, metal, and counter tops can be cleaned with normal cleaning methods. A biocide such as chlorine bleach is not necessary.
- Semiporous materials such as structural wood should be exposed to air for drying as quickly as possible. Remove mold from these surfaces by scrubbing or more aggressive methods such as sanding.
- Semiporous materials such as flooring and counter underlayment may need to be removed to insure the structural elements can be properly dried. For example, vinyl flooring could be cleaned, but may need to be removed to dry or replace the subflooring.
Clean most surfaces with a non-ammonia soap or detergent. After cleaning semiporous materials, disinfect the area using bleach and water solution or another disinfectant. For cleaning surfaces, a mixture of one-fourths cup of bleach with one gallon of water should be adequate. The surfaces should remain wet for about 15 minutes to allow for disinfection. A higher concentration of 1 ½ cups of bleach per gallon is recommended for wood and concrete surfaces that cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
Do not mix ammonia and bleachÂ--the fumes are toxic! Finally, rinse the area with clean water and dry rapidly. Use fans, dehumidifiers or ventilation to move the moisture from the area.
This is a brief overview of the steps for recovering from the recent flooding. Another important step for many is to evaluate the source of the water intrusion. Can it be fixed to prevent this from happening again?

CANADA STOCKS-TSX rebounds, ends up, but energy stocks down again
(Adds details, comment from Brough, closing market figures)
* TSX rises 64.93 points, or 0.43 percent at 15,088.82
* Eight of the index's 10 main groups advance
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO, May 7 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose broadly on Thursday, reversing a retreat in early trading as resource stocks turned positive, but energy companies posted another round of heavy declines as crude prices sank.
The heavily weighted materials group, home to mining and other resource companies, finished 1.7 percent higher after rebounding from early losses. The sector has remained rangebound for much of the last two months, however.
"There's so much volatility in these sectors. Everyday is a good news/bad news day and as a result you get these wiggling around in prices without much overall direction," said Julie Brough, vice president at Morgan Meighen & Associates.
Potash Corp was among the most influential gainers, rising 2.5 percent to C$39.66. A number of gold miners also performed well, including Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd, which rose 3.2 percent to close at C$38.11.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index finished up 64.93 points, or 0.43 percent, at 15,088.82. Continued...

Chelsea have spent heavily to reinvent themselves this summer but a fortuitous victory over Shakhtar Donetsk last night suggests they will need their old guard to mount a serious defence of their Champions League crown.
Building a new side is often a painstakingly slow process, especially when the foundations are so deep rooted as at Stamford Bridge. Together with the departed Didier Drogba, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard formed the cornerstones of a team that conquered England and Europe.
Last night was the first time in 104 Champions League matches dating back to a clash against Sparta Prague in September 2003 that this illustrious quartet were all absent from Chelsea's starting line-up.
Factor in the plethora of new faces at the club and Roberto di Matteo's task of changing to a more attacking style of play, then it can be understood why Chelsea's display against the talented Ukrainians was disjointed and alarmingly vulnerable.
Credit is due for their durability in somehow extracting three points from an awkward evening in west London — it was an act reminiscent of the escapology that became a trademark of their run to glorious success in Munich back in May.
But Shakhtar were the more composed throughout — aside from a kamikaze display from goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov — as Terry, Cole and Lampard's replacements faltered to destabilise the home side.
Gary Cahill and David Luiz remain unconvincing as a centre-back pairing but in fairness they were afforded little cover by the midfield duo of John Obi Mikel and Ramires who resembled a colander more than a shield.
With Oriol Romeu woeful in his past two matches, the decision to allow both Michael Essien and Raul Meireles to depart in the summer looked a mistake again.
However, it was Ryan Bertrand who struggled the most. The 23-year-old has great potential — the maturity he displayed in making his competition debut in last season's final lingers in the memory — but he was given a torrid time last night.
After slipping to allow Fernandinho to tee up Willian for Shakhtar's first equaliser, Darijo Srna galloped down his flank to set up the same player to restore parity just after the interval.
"We probably lacked a bit of experience in terms of not having Lampard and Cole available and JT didn't play," said Di Matteo.
"There was a lot of Champions League experience that wasn't on the pitch. Under normal circumstances you'd like them there, given the tremendous pressure we were under for parts of this game. The players who played deserved huge praise for weathering that. We managed to win the game under a lot of pressure."
Fernando Torres benefited from Pyatov's lackadaisical attitude — Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu described himself as "very angry and disgusted" with his goalkeeper — to score the opener but Oscar's strike in restoring Chelsea's lead was of supreme quality.
Pyatov gifted him the chance to find an empty net from at least 35 yards and the Brazilian obliged with flawless technique. Willian levelled up proceedings again, finishing the move of the match that included Fernandinho's defence-splitting pass and Alex Teixeira's instinctive dummy, before substitute Victor Moses netted with the final act of an enthralling game.
Chelsea improved in the second half and gradually asserted themselves as Shakhtar began to tire and there is clearly a resolve present in Di Matteo's side regardless of their composition.
The future will, of course, be without Terry, Cole and Lampard but all three have significant roles to play while the next generation comes of age.
Both Cole and Lampard are yet to commit their futures to Stamford Bridge with the club reluctant to sanction long-term deals for ageing players but they are still capable of bringing solidity to Chelsea's play, even if their individual form has suffered to a degree in recent outings.
Terry certainly seemed to feel duty bound in reminding everyone of his presence. Several clubs use bike machines on the touchline to keep substitutes warm but rarely has such a method been employed at Chelsea.
The sight of Terry pedalling away with Chelsea toiling at 2-2 was an embarrassing attention seeking act but Di Matteo's explanation over the 31‑year-old's absence was both legitimate yet a brave call.
"JT is a fantastic player for this club," said the Italian. "He's got many qualities and I'm very happy that he's back available for us after his [four game domestic] ban.
"But considering the past four weeks in his professional life, he's had one competitive game, and I thought we needed players who were 100 per cent match fit for a game like this.
"I'm very glad that he's back with us now and is available because we will certainly need him."
Terry's organisational skill and positional sense was missed in a defence that Di Matteo admits will have to improve if they are to get the draw required in Juventus to keep qualification from Group E in their own hands. "Look at the goals — we had a lot of players back so we weren't out-numbered," he said.
"But we have to work on the optimism of the defensive organisation in general. It'll certainly improve over time."
As will Chelsea without their ageing greats but they still have a role to play on this evidence.

Wow. What an experience!!

My dad was in Dayton Ohio yesterday attending a ham fest. My son and I drove up from the Cincinnati area to visit the USAF museum. My dad had a friend with him that is an aerospace engineer working with NASA on manned missions to mars. We all headed out to the museum. We got a guided tour from one of the smartest guys on the planet. This guy knew everything about the planes. I was completely blown away. I told my son that hardly anyone gets the experience we did. It was great to see my dad who has finally recovered from cancer surgery last July. Anyone within driving distance should go see the USAF museum in Dayton Ohio, it's Free!
Just thought i would share!

I haven't been there in probably ten years. It's strange how when something that people come from all over the nation to visit is right down the road it is not really a big deal to locals. I think I will make sure to get by there within the next few weeks.
I've had the pleasure a couple of times to visit this location. It is a treasure. Glad you had a good time with family and friends.

I have been there at least 4 or 5 times, the last one in 2003. The place is awesome, each time I go, I see something that I didn't on the last trip.
I have also told lots of people about the place too. I need to go back to it again sometime.

Is one very cool palce.
I was there with my wife in '89, right after our first born came, literally a couple of weeks.
My cousin from Sacramento who works with the government in enviromental matters, was there for something, and gave me a holler, so we went down for a few days.
He had clearance to access the other bldgs. that are not part of the every day display, but still had aircraft, and other things that were not top secret, but still not available to the general public.
We vowed we would take another trip there , and in 2007, went down with our 4 kids, who at the time were 18, 15, 13 and 3.
They had a great time, but still not as worked up as their old man gets when he sees things like that.

Sounds like a fun time, I'll have to look into it if I'm ever in the area. If you are really into planes you should check out EAA some time. Here in Oshkosh, Wisconsin we have the biggest airshow in the world every year. People come from all over to check it out, it really is a great opportunity.

9:45 a.m. 48S05-1210-PC-583. A jury instruction on the insanity defense, given without objection at Passwater's 2004
murder trial, stated in part that the defendant could be committed to a facility for a period of "not more than ninety
(90) days." The jury found Passwater guilty but mentally ill and he was sentenced to fifty-five years. The Madison Circuit
Court later denied post-conviction relief with respect to the instruction. The Court of Appeals affirmed, citing Georgopolus
v. State, 735 N.E.2d 1138 (Ind. 2000), in a memorandum decision, Passwater v. State, No. 48A05-1201-PC-17, slip op. (Ind.

Teva Sandals: Women's 1000035 BLK Black Zirra Sandals
With beach weather right around the corner, you'll want to be prepared. Not only are these Teva 1000035 BLK Women's Black Zirra Sandals great for the beach, but they're stylish enough to wear at work or a night out on the town. Designed specifically for the shape of a woman's foot, these Zirra sandals offer comfort without sacrificing performance.
Who said performance can't come in a petite package? This pair of women's sandals feature a minimal strap configuration, giving you the option to tighten and loosen them as needed. The adjustable nylon and polyester webbing straps provide a snug fit without overburdening you with a bunch of straps and buckles. These lightweight straps are durable and abrasion-resistant, yet are comfortable against your skin. In addition, the open construction allows water to drain freely so you can walk right into the water without taking off your shoes.
T.I.D.E. comfort technology will soften your steps and make you feel as fresh as you look. A soft Shoc Pad in the heel provides shock absorption and additional cushioning for soft comfort. The Shoc Pad is made with a blend of PU and EVA. Polyurethane is the most dense, durable and stable midsole material and it provides maximum protection from impact. Meanwhile, EVA is durable plastic foam material made of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate resin. It's soft, light and flexible, and has good cushioning as well. As a result, this encapsulated Shoc Pad in the midsole evenly transfers the energy of impact throughout the footbed to help reduce foot fatigue.
Your feet will stay fresh and healthy with Microban protection. A zinc-based, anti-microbial product, Microban inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew that can cause odor and stains.
To complete the design, T.I.D.E. Grip outsoles finish off these Zirra sandals. Teva's Spider Original rubber outsole is made to grip like crazy in wet environments. It includes a water-channeling lug pattern to keep you steady in wet situations. In addition, a nylon shank will help to keep your foot stable and in control. This shank forces the appropriate break at the ball of your foot to help with arch support and provide the flexibility your foot needs.
The next time you head out the door, do it wearing a pair of Teva 1000035 BLK Women's Black Zirra Sandals on your feet. Style and comfort go great with beautiful, sunny weather.

DECATUR, Ala. — Frank Ippoliti of Smithsburg, Md., was able to make time to fish just one Bassmaster Southern Open event this year, but he has made it count thus far by leading the tight field Friday with 29 pounds, 6 ounces in the Bassmaster Southern Open season-ender on Alabama's Wheeler Lake.
Ippoliti was 1-7 in front of Ken Chapman of Woodlawn, Tenn., who moved up from sixth place into second with 27-15. In third was Todd Auten of Lake Wylie, S.C., with 26-11. Following the leaders were two Bassmaster Elite Series pros from Alabama: Tim Horton of Muscle Shoals with 25-10, and Gerald Swindle of Warrior with 25-3.
The pros are competing for a top prize of $6,000 in cash and a Triton/Mercury boat package valued at $50,000.
The field was cut to the top 30 for the final day of competition Saturday. Fishing fans can track the finale of the Southern Open season by accessing real-time leaderboards and live, streaming video of the Wheeler Lake event weigh-ins at www.espnoutdoors.com beginning at 4 p.m. ET Saturday.
The father of a 7-month-old son and owner of a car dealership — two factors that keep him too busy to compete as much as he'd like to — Ippoliti, 44, posted close to 15 pounds each day, a consistency he credited to a technique which he preferred not to discuss.
"It's something that's a little bit different," Ippoliti said. "But it's something everybody knows how to do. The formula is the area plus the technique equals fish."
Second-place finisher Chapman, a 44-year-old retired master sergeant, entered Bassmaster Opens for the first time this year, moving up from lower level events. He's aiming to qualify for the Classic and Elite Series.
"If I qualify for the Elite Series, I'll be there," he said. "And I'd love to go to the Bassmaster Classic. That's something you dream about from the time you're old enough to pick up a fishing pole and read Bassmaster Magazine. I've been reading it since 1970."
Many of the pros at the Southern Open are also are in contention to win the grand prizes of the season: entry into the 2008 Bassmaster Classic, Feb. 22-24 on South Carolina's Lake Hartwell, and 2008 eligibility for competitive fishing's top-tier circuit, the Bassmaster Elite Series. The top three in the points standings score Classic berths and invitations to the Elite Series; fourth- and fifth-place finishers earn only Elite eligibility.
First-day leader Bobby Lane, 33, dropped to sixth place with 24-14. Lane, of Lakeland, Fla., is among the pros with enough points amassed this season to have a shot at one of the three Classic spots.
Charlie Hartley, another pro shooting for his first Classic, pulled up from 15th into 11th place Friday with 21-8. An Elite Series pro from Grove City, Ohio, Hartley competed this season in the Opens as an alternate route to the Classic. Having missed a Classic berth through the Elite Series, he's put the pressure on himself to get to the Classic through the Opens.
"I struggle to fight my own nerves," said Hartley, 43. "This is my life goal, my life work. I've dreamed of going to the Bassmaster Classic since I was 8 years old, so getting to the Classic has been my lifetime work, too."
In the co-angler division, where the top prize is $2,000 cash and a Triton/Mercury boat package valued at $32,000, Lee Hannah of Grandville, Mass., moved up from third to take the lead with 22-5. Trailing him were first-day leader Scott Reed of Cary, N.C., who had 19-0; and Eric D. Johnson of Millis, Mass., who posted 17-14.
The pros will launch Saturday at 7:45 a.m. ET at Decatur's Ingalls Harbor, where the weigh-in will begin at 4 p.m. ET.

That being said if I had more $ to put into a revolver then I would buy the S&W 686 with a 4 inch barrel \ I own a 2 inch barrel .357 and the recoil is a beast. A .357 can do a whole lot on the spectrum for a handgun in the lower 48.
