Keel Bolt question
Thanks for the description of your approach to this repair. Now I ''m really looking forward to it... ;->
Keel Bolt question
I have done this operation a number of times and it is not easy.
First, it is entirely possible that only one of the keel bolts is stricken with the contaminates that cause the electrolysis and subsequent weepage of rusty water. That is possible. In many situations where I have found this phenomenon (Chain plate bolts on old Sabres, for one) your heart leaps into your throat as a bolt crumbles in your wrench when you were ''just checking nut tension''. Then after desperate securing of the rig, get new fasteners for all the chainplates, and lo and behold, it was only the one bolt. Go figure.
However, who wanted to risk that?
Keel bolts fall into the same category, only they are 75,813 times more difficult to work on. Here''s what you have to do.
Drop the rig and haul the boat. Sailboats without keels don''t do well in windstorms. Use at least 4 to 5 stands on each side of the boat as well as one under the bow and one under the stern. Make sure they are chained and secured, and the screws are greased. Carefully and slowly circle the boat (I always do this alone so I have complete control over the balance of the boat and the equal tension of the stands) and tighten the stands one at a time, about 1/2 to 1 turn each.
Be careful, don''t rush, watch everything. If you hear any crunching or see any hull buckling you don''t like, back off and put big plywood supports between the stand and the hull there, or move the stand a little if you have to. Keep going until the bottom of the keel is about 1/2 inch of the ground.
Secure everything and make sure the boat is solid.
Go aboard and carefully remove all the keel nuts and washers. IF YOU HAVE TO BUY SPECIAL SOCKETS AND BREAKERS BARS, DO IT!!
These are far too important to bugger for a cheap tool.
If the keel is properly bedded, you will have noticed by now that it didn''t drop. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO HAMMER THE KEEL BOLTS!!
I just love the ''all caps'' thing, don''t I?
Anyway, now, get the deepest hole saws you can that will fit ovet the keel bolts, with just a little room to spare. They have some 2 1/2 to three inches deep.
Start carefully running the hole saw over the bolts as far as they will go, beginning with the front one, the the most rear one, then the second front one, and the second rear one, etc. Have someone outside tell you as the belly flexes and the keel begins to pull away.
when you are on the very last bolt, the keel will settle on the ground and the belly will pop free.
As long as the keel bolts are still in the holes, the boat is perfectly stable.
At this time, I build a very solid brace around the keel with bolted 2 x 6''s and I don''t spare the wood or fasteners. I want to be able to lift this hull clear if I have to, which sometimes, I have had to.
Then, with the boat stands, lift the boat about one more inch, still leaving plenty of bolt up in the hulls bolt holes. Carefully clean EVERYTHING and inspect completely. By this time, you should have plenty of spectators offering tons of advice. Listen carefully to what they say about bedding.
I have done it two ways.
One boat separated awesomely cleanly leaving two fine fair and flat surfaces. I used a thick layer of Boatlife Lifeseal and squeegeed off the excess. Perfect seal and no problems to date. (About ten years)
On the other, the top of the keel was a mess of casting shrinkage and crap. I had to clean it for about three or four hours, prep the surface carefully, and trowel in a layer of West Epoxy with Colloidal Silica thickener, being excrutiatingly carefull to match the flat surface of the hull above so it would sit perfectly flat and straight. Once that cured, a bit of clean up and lifeseal.
I am thinking that if you have bad keel bolts, there will not be more than one or two, and they may only be pitted around some manufacturing impurities. If it is more, or they are very bad, then you need to change them.
The best way is to go into the side of the keel about six inches from the top with a 2 1/2 inch hole saw and some drills and a torch (very carefully) to expose the shank of the keel bolt. Sever the bolt as low as possible with an air die grinder. Lower the hull and put some sacrificial nuts on the bad bolts, then hammer the top of the studs so the nuts cannot be backed off. Making sure that there are no burrs on the severed end of the keel bolt, start working the bolt out with the breaker bar abd socket. You might have to use oil or some impact. Try not to get tempted to heat it up with a torch - thats how boats burn - but if you have to, with the right precautions, that is the final solution.
Fit nice big nuts into the holes in the side of the keel and run new threaded rod in from above. Snug it up, make a small coffer dam over the lower 3/4 of the holes and fill them with molton lead. Finish it up with a small torch and smooth it. use acid like a plumber.
Raise the boat, apply sealer and put her back down. If you have not moved either the boat or the keel (except up and down) it has to land exactly where it was.
Before installing the washers and nut above, be sure to remember to fill the voids around the keel bolts with West epoxy using the plungers. All filled up. No bubbles or voids. Weight down on the keel, bedding, washers, nuts, proper torque (about 150 to 175 for your boat, but double check to be sure)
just a thought
Keel Bolt question
am looking at a 25-year old boat with a lead fin keel bolted on with stainless steel bolts. I didn''t count but there are probably about ten 3/4" bolts holding the 5000-lb keel on the boat. Inside the boat, the bolts and nuts appear to be in great condition, and they certainly don''t "sound" punky. The washers are well-bedded with polysulfide inside the boat, so leaks at the joint don''t show up inside the boat. Outside, there is a small amount of rust that weeped from the small crack at the keel-to-hull joint on the starboard side. The crack is probably within the realm of what would be considered normal for a bolted-on fin keel. When the current owner bought the boat in 1986, his survey report indicated the same problem on the port side, and called for re-bedding of the keel bolts, which apparently was done.
Obvioiusly, since then the joint has opened up enough to allow seawater into the bolts again, which have corroded some more to produce the rust. So how worried should I be about the integrity of the keel bolts? Could I sail this boat from the Chesapeake up to New England before undertaking further work?
If I brought the boat home, what would be the best course of action: (1) caulk the joint from the outside and forget about it; or (2) drop the keel to inspect the bolts and re-bed the whole joint?
Presumably these are "J" bolts cast into the lead, but since lead and stainless shrink differently, should I be worried about corrosion of the bolts down in the keel, and not just at the joint?
If I do drop the keel to inspect and rebed and the bolts look scary, then I guess I could sister them. Or should I just go ahead and sister them anyways?
If the decision is to drop the keel, how do I do that with the boat on blocks and jackstands in my backyard? Do I jack up the hull rest of the boat (~5000 lbs), or do I lower the (5000 lb) keel on jacks? Or do I hire a crane to come by for 1/2 a day?

The environmentalist siege of Blue Castle has merit on several grounds.
First, if climate change causes a prolonged drought in the Colorado River basin, as some scientists predict, the proposed nuclear plant on the Green River could be left without enough water to operate.
Second, in such a drought the plant's needs could adversely impact other water rights.
Third, the project's finances appear to be shaky, and under Utah law, the sponsors must show they have the financial means to complete the project.
Our most serious concern continues to be the first. When State Engineer Kent L. Jones approved the permanent change order to divert 53,600 acre-feet of water from the Green River to the project, he acknowledged that the reactors could be placed on short rations in the event of extreme drought. He appeared to conclude, however, that such a scenario is unlikely.
But it would not be prudent to spend $16 billion on an electric-generating plant powered by nuclear reactors that could be shorted essential water for cooling. Under Utah water law, holders of senior water rights are entitled to take their water from the stream before those with junior rights, and there are many rights senior to those for the nuclear plant. But in a water shortage, would the state really be able to slow the flow to a plant generating 3,000 megawatts of power? We doubt it. The political and economic pressure against such a move would be enormous, and that would necessarily impair others' water rights.
Simply put, a nuclear plant in the arid climes of southern Utah is not a good idea.
By comparison, the financial problem associated with the plant is less important. After the state engineer granted the change order early this year, the project dropped a $30 million equity financing deal with LeadDog Capital after that hedge fund was accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission of running a scam. It is possible, of course, that Blue Castle could arrange financing elsewhere, but the problem was not known when the change order was granted. It is estimated that it will take $100 million for Blue Castle to pay for just the permitting process with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Under these circumstances, it is a long shot that Blue Castle will ever be able to put to beneficial use the water it has contracted to lease from two southern Utah water conservancy districts. This project might make sense somewhere else, but not in a parched industrial park in southern Utah.

Investing For a Sustainable Future
Investors see a strong link between corporate sustainability performance and financial performance — so they're using sustainability-related data as a rationale for investment decisions like never before.

Investors see a strong link between corporate sustainability performance and financial performance — so they're using sustainability-related data as a rationale for investment decisions like never before.
The 1987 UN document Our Common Future notes that sustainability means ensuring that future generations inherit an intact planet. If sustainability is framed as a tradeoff between business and society, addressing this tradeoff for the short term may actually exacerbate long-term problems — compromising sustainability. Firms that find a win-win between profits and planet but fail to consider intertemporal tradeoffs may cost the planet in the long term.
Insurance companies are uniquely positioned to address challenges such as climate change and human rights issues in their roles as risk managers, risk carriers, and investors. The Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) initiative launched by the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative in 2012 serves as a global framework for this effort. The PSI are now backed by more than 80 organizations worldwide, representing 20% of world premiums and $14 trillion (USD) in assets.
Environmental sustainability has moved into the limelight when it comes to supply chains. Companies look closely at how their goods are produced and sourced. But a gap exists when it comes to the finance and insurance industries. ECOFACT's Olivier Jaeggi and Gina Santos take a closer look at how the enablers of global trade — the banks and insurers who finance it — are starting to become accountable for their part in sustainable economic growth.
The "new attitude" in China toward sustainable economic growth depends upon thoughtful management of six types of capital: natural resources, human resources, financial capital, manufacturing infrastructure, intellectual capital, and social relationships. Integrated reporting looks at the performance of all six types of capital and how the performance of each element is related to one another. The challenge for China: developing partnerships with business to make it work.
Both economic and climate change have brought increasing concerns about agriculture — particularly with respect to water. Farmers worldwide are beginning to explore ways to stretch what may become an increasingly limited resource. In a Q&A, Netafim's chief sustainability officer Naty Barak explains how his company's origins in arid-zone agriculture became a springboard to a wider market for agricultural producers to maximize water efficiency, and how the company's partnerships with NGOs brings the technology to small farmers in the developing world.
Managers in some leading companies have pioneered a new approach to sustainability. In this approach, businesses have the potential to be rule makers as well as players in establishing environmental regulations. "There is an expression in Washington," says DuPont's Michael Parr, "that it is better to be at the table than on the menu." Indeed, by engaging with government on the structure of the phaseout of air conditioning chemicals, DuPont helped bring an end to one profitable product life cycle and spawn another.
When two organizations are on opposite ends of the spectrum with regard to sustainability issues, it may seem like there's no hope of ever reaching agreement. Such was the case when Greenpeace and Asia Pulp sat down to negotiate a truce after Greenpeace's hard-hitting campaign to change Asia Pulp's forestry practices, which Greenpeace saw as destroying endangered rainforest habitat. But as Asia Pulp's Aida Greenbury explains, it's possible even for two polar opposites to find areas of common ground and work together for sustainable business practices.
As the head of corporate social responsibility at Sprint, Amy Hargroves has challenged the telecommunications company to "walk the talk" on sustainability, with significant success. But it hasn't come easy by any means. In her interview with MIT SMR, Hargroves describes how she has partnered with Sprint's legal and government affairs team to turn principles into practice.
It is becoming more and more commonplace for companies to take human rights into account when sourcing materials or manufacturing processes. Guest blogger Olivier Jaeggi of ECOFACT explains why this trend has significance for sustainability — and how corporate standards are increasingly taking the position that paying attention to human rights is a necessity for companies' risk management strategy, rather than an act of good will.
The best way to reduce emissions and cut costs is to transport goods efficiently. So why aren't more companies taking the steps that would get them there? In a set of three case studies, one of the key obstacle becomes clear: implementing logistics strategies to reduce emissions requires significant internal and external collaboration between companies, suppliers, and shippers. But as these case studies prove, undertaking complicated process changes can also produce significant rewards.
The authors, who include Ratan Tata, the former chairman of the Tata Group, argue that that "it is possible to build and lead companies that retain a deeper purpose." Tata calls for companies to launch "corporate lifeboats" — such as new business experiments in next-generation clean technologies and serious business initiatives in the underserved space at the "base of the pyramid" — to transform their operations for sustainability.
It's only natural that a beer company would be concerned about water. It takes five liters of water, on average, to manufacture one liter of beer. When SABMiller mapped its water footprint and found that it took 45 liters of water to produce one liter of its beer in the Czech Republic, and 155 liters in South Africa, the company changed its water practices to make its beer more sustainable. An interview with SABMiller's senior vice president of sustainable development explains how they did it.
Timberland LLC, a global boot and outdoor apparel manufacturer, goes beyond simply telling the world about its sustainability work. According to Betsy Blaisdell, the company's senior manager of environmental stewardship, it has creative new ways to involve employees and to partner with suppliers — and competitors. In this interview, Blaisdell talks about the environment "nutrition label" it's developed for its footwear, and its partnership with 60 plus apparel and footwear brands, retailers, suppliers and NGOs (from Adidas to Patagonia to DuPont to the World Resources Institute) to develop an environmental index called the Higg Index.
Now available in the MIT SMR archive: video of last spring's chat about sustainable product lifecycles with Wood Turner of Stonyfield Farm and Peter Graf of SAP, moderated by Jason Jay of the MIT Sloan School of Management.
In his tenure as president and CEO of the Campbell Soup Company, Doug Conant first helped steer the company to financial stability, and then set the stage for aggressive sustainability goals. The notion of corporate social responsibility and sustainability has been part of the fabric of the Campbell Soup Company since its inception. By 2006, Conant was ready to kick it up a notch. As president and CEO (he retired last fall), Conant led the company in exploring "how we could bring what I call our DNA, our natural inclination to corporate social responsibility, to a new level."
Marks and Spencer's business case for sustainability is built around its five year old Plan Plan A, a commitment to tangible steps to make the company more sustainable. T-shirts for associates featured the slogan, "There is no Plan B." Plan A includes 180 commitments. All to be achieved by 2015. Their ultimate goal is to become the world's most sustainable major retailer.
New research shows that young people from the U.S. and Canada to Germany and South Korea are driving less, biking more and using public transportation in significantly higher numbers.
The planet's focus today should be on resiliency rather than on sustainability, says Dennis Meadows, one of the original authors of the 1972 book Limits to Growth. That book was one of the first scholarly works to recognize that the world was approaching its sustainable limits.
Multinational companies such as Apple need to give their Chinese suppliers better incentives to comply with local standards in environmental and health safety, say researchers from Stanford in the new issue of MIT SMR.

New 2012 data released today by the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partnership estimates that actions taken by jurisdictions in the last three years resulted in less nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment pollution flowing into the Chesapeake Bay.
Chesapeake Bay Program partners–the District of Columbia and the six states in the Bay watershed–report annually on actions they've taken to decrease the amount of these three pollutants entering rivers and streams. This information is analyzed using a sophisticated suite of computer simulations of the Bay ecosystem. The resulting estimates tell us how much progress their pollution-reducing actions have made toward levels that would sustain a healthy Bay. By 2017, CBP partners are committed to having practices in place to achieve at least 60 percent of necessary reductions from 2009 levels.
Simulations of pollution reducing efforts put in place between July 2009 and June 2012 estimate CBP partners have achieved 25, 27 and 32 percent of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment reductions needed by 2025, respectively.
Nitrogen loads to the Bay have decreased 18.5 million pounds to 264.1 million
Phosphorous loads to the Bay have decreased 1.3 million pounds to 18.0 million
Sediment loads to the Bay have decreased 431 million pounds to 8,244 million
Excess nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous) and sediment impair water quality and underwater habitat. It is critical to reduce the amount of these pollutants entering our waters.
Too much nitrogen and phosphorus fuel the growth of algae blooms. As the algae die off, naturally occurring bacteria use up oxygen in the water, leaving behind "dead zones" unable to support aquatic life. Excess sediment clouds the water, blocking sunlight from reaching underwater grass beds and suffocating oysters and other shellfish that can't move to healthier waters.
CBP's "Reducing Pollution" information offers up the most current data on our partners' progress toward their goals of lower nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment loads entering local waters. The six Bay states, D.C. and their various municipalities can use many land-based actions to improve the health of local rivers and streams and help them reach their goals. These can range from large-scale tree plantings and habitat restoration projects to wastewater upgrades and improved agricultural practices. The annual simulation data provides managers and leaders with sound, science-based information that can help them assess what practices are most effective and adapt their decisions for the most benefit.
Partners' progress toward improved water quality through decreased pollution results from their work to meet the limits set by the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), established in 2010, and outlined in the seven Bay jurisdictions' Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs). The Environmental Protection Agency oversees the jurisdictions' progress toward these goals.
"The Bay watershed partners continue to implement measures to reduce pollution from all sources. While we clearly have a lot of work to do, we are making progress in meeting water quality goals. Our management practices and reporting systems are improving, but the Bay ecosystem restoration effort remains precarious. We must redouble our efforts to restore balance in the ecosystem and rebuild its resilience."
--Nick DiPasquale, CBP Director, EPA
"It is great to see the Chesapeake Bay Program partners' commitments and continuing efforts to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment pollution. Whether in urban environments such as the District or agricultural regions in other jurisdictions, it is critically important that we all continue to do our part for the health of our waters and our environment. We cannot live without water; our health and that of our communities depends upon it being as clean as we can possibly make it."
--Keith Anderson, Chair, CBP Principals' Staff Committee and Director, D.C. Department of the Environment

Soul Poet Tom Zart's = "OBAMA POEM"
Tom Zart
11/05/2008 / Leadership
When you chain the neck of a slave
The other end fastens to you.
Your heart and soul become corrupt
And all which is evil youll do.
No government shall exist for ever
Who's people are not really free.
Though around the world there are those
Who stay blind to how life should be.
Any who must enslave others
Will dwell in their own living hell
After death, theyll join their master
In that place from heaven he fell.
But till then well fight and resist
Making them put their chains away
And those of us who may die first
From heaven shall watch and pray.
I'm a soldier for the Lord
Who's been up and who's been down
Though while on the battlefield
I have never turned around.
I face more than flesh and blood
With the devil's evil hoard.
But they shall not steal my soul
For I swing my Lord's swift sword.
I wear all of God's armor
With helmet, breastplate and shield.
As Satans arrows fly by
From his archers of the field.
The devil casts his dark net
Over any he may charm.
Hell lead them from salvation
With his hands upon their arm.
I battle evil daily
And I pray that youll join me.
We're not alone in this world
For we're loved and watched by Thee.
Those who wish to be President
Must practice what they teach.
For their people need inspiring
To believe what they preach.
Take heed therefore, unto yourselves
You overseers of the flock
Or the voters shall cast you out
For your futures are not of rock.
Life may place you in deep waters
Though it doesn't wish you to drown.
It's your past record that lets us know
Who you are as you smile or frown.
If you wish to be remembered
From the truth you must never part.
Power corrupts the best of us
When we stop listening to our heart.
THE POWER of WORDS
Words are the most powerful tools used by man
As hearts and souls reach for one another.
Sharing feelings of fear, wisdom and joy
Or our love for a significant other.
Where would we be without words
Which inspire, unite and motivate.
Songs, poems, stories, blogs, books
wars, religion, love, lust and hate.
Jesus preached words to the multitudes
And nourish their hunger within.
The stories we tell portray our spirit
As examples of weakness, triumph or sin.
When we fail to control the rage of our thoughts
What is easy to say becomes hard to forgive.
Words are visions which portray our intent
The better we communicate, the better we live.

Dear Lillian:
Number 41 passed on the CDs from Tom Zart. Thank you for thinking of me. I am thankful for your efforts to honor our brave military personnel and their families.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS of WORLD WAR III
Our sons and daughters serve in harms way
To defend our way of life.
Some are students, some grandparents
Many a husband or wife.
They face great odds without complaint
Gambling life and limb for little pay.
So far away from all they love
Fight our soldiers for whom we pray.
The plotters and planners of Americas doom
Pledge to murder and maim all they can.
From early childhood they are taught
To kill is to become a man.
They exploit their young as weapons of choice
Teaching in heaven virgins will await.
Destroying lives along with their own
To learn of their falsehoods too late.
The fearful cry we must submit
And find a way to soothe them.
Where defenders worry if we stand down
The future for America is grim.
Nows not the time to fight one another
Or kiss our enemys cheek.
All through history it remains the same
The strong enslave the weak.
May God continue to bless America
Refusing evil the upper hand.
Its up to us to stay resolute
Defending the liberty of Man.

Belts off
I have recently experienced 2 timing belt failures, both within the 40,000 / 4 years limits. The 1st in August 09 on a 1995 Astra 1.6 petrol. The 2nd in December 09 on a 1999 Zafira 1.8 petrol, which occurred within 14,000 miles and 14 months of being fitted. The belts were Goodyear and were fitted by a local garage that had previously given satisfactory service. No explanations have been provided following investigations. Do you have any advice or comments?

Have you tried our A to Z Section?
... Empowering trainees
to become educators of the future ...
Health Education England's Wessex team strives to produce
exceptional medical educators of the future by providing an
environment in which educational activities and programmes can
flourish and develop. It recognises that whilst all
trainees are expected to engage in medical education, some may find
this a daunting prospect, whilst others may have a special interest
in this area. Sometimes the path into the world of medical
education can appear a little unclear. In response to
this Health Education England's Wessex team offers a series of
eduction programmes and support networks to help trainees develop
their interests and perhaps become the future leaders in
education. These include the Tomorrow's Teachers course, Medical
Education Fellow role and Medical Education Mentorship
There is a general expectation and assumption that all trainees
will to some extent engage in, and be involved with teaching and
education. Some trainees undertake considerably more educational
activity than is expected of their level and this should be
recognised more formally. These trainees may be suitable for
appointment to the role of a Medical Education Fellow. This role
has been developed to help professionalise educational activities
as well as to produce educationally minded professionals who are
able to take up Lead Educator positions at the end of training.
Find out more about Medical
Education Fellows.
We know that many junior doctors have a developing interest in
medical education, but starting a career in medical education can
sometimes seem daunting and unfamiliar. The
has been
developed to help trainees lay the foundations for a career in
medical education by pairing them with a current
to mentor them through the
process. Equally, some trainees may have a desire to become a
, but do not quite
meet the eligibility criteria yet, and the
can be a
useful place in which to develop the skills and attributes.
Find out more about the Medical
Education Mentorship Scheme.
The Medical Education Fellows organise an annual conference
where trainees are invited both from Wessex and nationally to
celebrate their achievements in medical education. Through a series
of guest speakers, facilitated workshops, debates and trainee
presentations and posters, advances in education are showcased and
connections are made.

(not the bloggers garage)
Walking into church many times is like walking into my garage. There is so much clutter that you can't even see where to park the car. I'm somewhat new to this pastor thing, just 3 years experience as a "senior pastor" but I have struggled at one simple question- what is church. My text books tell me that a church is a body of believers that meets together for fellowship and growth. As I drive from place to place my eyes tell me with grand cathedrals every 3 blocks or so that it is a building. My experience tells me something different, church is programs. Boy howdy do we do programs.
It's my heart to build a biblical church. As scripture directs, so I follow. Church should be biblical… right? The struggle we all face though is that the church of today looks nothing like the church of yesteryears. The clearest picture we get of the early church is in acts 2- "42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved." For me it just seems so natural. Church today seems forced. I struggle because nowhere in scripture do you see growth strategies, youth ministry, or even angst about church growth. What you saw was men and women transformed by the power of Christ, who looked to become a part of God's body on this earth. The bible doesn't talk about worship wars, nor does it speak of generational angst. In fact I have not found anything about programming in the bible.
My thought about the current church is that our love for programming comes from our love for ourselves. Now we don't come at it from a selfish perspective, but ultimately we program to meet our needs. We feel youth are important so we start a program. We feel seniors are important so we start a program. In fact as churches we direct what we do by what programs would draw in people to our churches. From good intentions we have created bad policy. Here's the rub, the church does not exist to serve its members, but the members exists to serve within the church. We are a place of service, not a place to be served.
The modern church certainly is a place of worship, but the question we must ask is who do we worship? Far to often we end up steering the church to worship the needs of its members. When people met in the early church they were so humbled by the perfect gift of Christ that they realized how little this world had to offer, and they just started giving what they had away. Church was natural to them because they came together as a body to worship God as strive together. Evangelism grew from an overflowing heart, not a program.
When needs arise in church often what we look for is another program to fix the leak in the dam. We as churches have just placed one more tub in the garage, further cluttering what we are doing. As weird as it sounds, maybe if we as churches began doing less, we would start growing. Maybe if we saw ourselves as the equipper, that which scripture encourages, and stopped programming every aspect of our member's time, we would free our members to go and minister to those around them.
What do you think?

I just agreed and put a deposit down on a Aristocrat Lo-Liner Trailer and I have a few questions being I know that a few of you have and are restoring them.
First the light over the stove is gas, and we were wondering how safe they are, and would any of you recommend converting it over to electrical? Many parts seem to be missing from this light, so we also need to know are parts still available, I assume everything can be found on ebay sooner than later.
Next The door does not have a cab lock like we are use to, and we were wondering what type of lock it is and how easy is it to get a key made for that lock, are key blanks still available if we could find a locksmith?
Overall with the idea of keeping this trailer as original as feasible, making safety our first concern, is this a good trailer overall and again are parts easily locatable?
All of the cushion are missing, so we would also like to know what was there. it looks like in the rear the sleep area is a bench and we would assume that the cushions would unfold to make a bed, but how is that done over that large empty space. Is there something that is missing that would support a bed?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Tire Rotation
Effective Tire Rotation should be done every 3,000 - 6,000 miles or with every oil change. OK Tire Store offers quality inexpensive Fargo, Bismarck, Watford City, and Carrington, ND auto repair services.
What it does: Rotating your tires is vital for helping your tires last longer. Rotating your tires suggests changing them from one side of the automobile to the other, relocating them from front to back or a blend of both, depending on your vehicle and what was done previously. Some tires have to be rotated at specific periods, while others will have to be rotated depending on the wear.
Why service is essential: Unequal tire wear could lead to unsatisfactory performance, poor fuel economy, shorten the life of the tire and can easily cause safety issues.
Proper Fargo, Bismarck, Watford City, and Carrington, ND Tire Rotation Prolongs Tire Life
Many factors can cause unequal tire wear:
- Strenuous driving routines, stop and go city traffic, road construction, etc. Bumpy surface and pot holes
- Under inflated tires
- Worn Shocks
- Unaligned wheels
- Worn elements
- Not rotating your tires
What we do during tire rotation:
- Tires are rotated in alternating patterns
- Examine overall quality and safety of tires
- Examine tire tread
- Inspect for effective inflation
- Tighten up lug nuts
OK Tire Store offers quality Tire Rotation in Fargo, Bismarck, Watford City, and Carrington, ND
To find out when your tires should be rotated, consult your vehicle's owner's handbook or ask one of our auto mechanic - tire professionals today.

nason clear problem
hi i have a problem that i need advice on. i am painting a car with nason fullbase. i got the base on perfectly. looked nice and smooth with 4 coats. i waited 2 hours and put one coat of clear on with slow acivator since it was 81 degrees here today. the first coat looked beautiful. after about 30 min i put the second coat on and after about 15 min it started lifting in spots. it looks like sand in the paint. what do you think is going on? is it possible i didnt wait long enough or too long between coats. the tech sheet says 7 to 10 min. i thought that was minimum time up to 24 hours.
i have only done the fenders and doors. going to wait until tomorrow to finish hoping that when its dryer it will work. here is another site i found that indicates i might have waited too long between clear coats. any ideas? thanks.
You waited to long between coats and the clear started to sensitize, perhaps if it was a true 30 minutes, this may be unusual but air temp and humidity will affect the 30 minutes and little things like water on the floor if humidity is already high can also accelerate the clear.
"LIFTING" dosn't look like sand its the paint wrinkling under the clear...can you get a pic of it???? is it Nason clear over Nason base??? Same clear on both coats or did you use another brand???
ok i think it is true that i waited too long. it was probably close to an hour on some of it. i have the car in pieces.
i got up this am and shot the hood waiting only 5 min between coats. it came out perfect.
now the question is how do i handle the bad parts. i will have to wet sand the clear and reshoot them. hopefully the base color will be ok. how long do i wait to sand and reshoot? thanks for the help.
If all works out in your favor, you can smooth the spots out with 600-1000 grit wet and not break though the clear and then all you need to do is re-clear.
The problem should stop in first top half of the first coat of clear.
clear drys differntly under different conditions so the way I know when to apply the next coat is to touch the paper where the clear hit it should be slightly tacky but not dry and not wet to where it will slide or make strings wnen you lift your finger off ...bubbles are a whole differnt problem then lifting,without any pics I would try to lightly sand them out with 600 and then lightly scuff the entire panel with 600....This wont work if the base is lifting but if its just the clear it should work. since it sounds like a water problem ,do you have any filters from your compressor to the gun??? even a small 5.00 gun filter might solve the problem...
yes i have a cooler and then a filter. havent noticed any water.
ps. your pm box is full.
Its ready to sand...I think you'll be ok this time...heres a way to see if you have any water first drain your tank.then let it build up to max pressure crank your regulators up to wide open,stick an air nipple in the hose and let her rip if theres any water you'll see it or hold the nipple against some glass about a 1/4" that'll show you too.
BTW,I never leave the booth when I'm clearing it only takes two coats ,in this heat theres only a 5 minute wait between coats..
ok. the car is done. i made no other changes than to do the second clearcoat within 10 min and it came out perfect. i was able to wet sand the areas that lifted and reshoot clear. they also came out perfect.
a few comments on nason paint. i dont have much experience with bccc since i have always used ss in the past but imho nason fullbase is an excellent product to use. i dont think its really cheaper to use though because it takes a lot to get coverage.
thanks to all who gave me advice.
and some colors are really bad at covering ,(did you use a sealer???) but all in all their base usually covers in three coats,so it really is cheaper than chroma base especially by the gallon ,wait till you paint something red, even nason will seem expensive..
their clear is so so, SPI is way better and runs about the same price..
Nason 2k primer is pretty good also...but their epoxy gets a low grade I dont care much for it at all...again SPI is the one I found is the best deal..
i am happy with the results considering that even though i did a lot of rebuilders when i was younger i havent painted a car in 20 years. i will post some pictures when i figure out how to do it.
Some pics would be nice... :thumbup:
First time posting here, but great write up. Im constantly buying spray paint for bikes, motorcycles, engine bays, car parts, BBQs, you name it. I recently got the cahones to buy a decent compressor and el cheapo gun from harbor and decided to paint an old Schwin with the nason silver and victory red. Even with the gun I probably could have bought a new bike from Wally World for the amount of money I spent on paint, but I think the finished product looks better and now I have 1 more skill to add to my belt. I have a 67 firebird I've been slowly restoring and thanks to the advice on here I'm not completely scared of one day trying to paint it myself. Thanks guys!

Uberdubs would like to thank everyone that came out to Midwest Volksfest 6 this year. Despite a little drizzle and that it was a week before H20, we still had a great showing. The temperatures were much better than the sweltering heat of last year.
As always, we want to hear your thoughts/opinions/suggestions to help us better our show. We have already started planning for next year and are very excited. This show is "for the people, by the people" so please let us know how we did and what we can do better!

Dead Island's been patched up. I like that one a lot more than ZS2.
Also, if you haven't played Dead Rising 2 (can't remember if you have or haven't) the new one is great. Wish I didn't shell out 40 bucks for it though. It's a good expansion/upgrade, but 40 bucks was way too much.
Still I'll get my money's worth out of it. The zombies are upgraded, new characters and a new area to explore. Lots of fun despite it being a "reimagining" of DR2. Grab it when it goes on sale.
Best of all there is sandbox mode now. I can explore the mall at my leisure. Spent hours just exploring more areas, tackling the challenges and just having fun with it. You still get the psychos and everyone of the survivors will attack you at some point. Even Chuck is in it. Poor guy's a psycho now.
Despite all my rage.
I'm still just a rat in a cage.

Award-Winning Technology
RenderMan has received
some prestigious awards
2011 - Scientific & Engineering Award
David Laur (Senior RenderMan Developer) was honored for his work with Pixar's Alfred render queue management system. A total of six developers were honored for their work on various queueing systems which have allowed studios to process the large amounts of data required for 3D animation and visual effects. At the award ceremony David Laur pondered the possible effects of Academy recognition, "It's certainly true that nobody grows up to say 'I want to be a queuing systems engineer,'" he told the audience. "Now there'll be action figures.
Listen to a complete interview with David Laur discussing Pixar's Alfred at the Pixar Podcast
2010 - Scientific & Engineering Award
To Per Christensen (Senior RenderMan Developer), Christophe Hery, and Michael Bunnell for the development of point-based rendering for indirect illumination and ambient occlusion, and featured in Pixar's RenderMan. Much faster than previous ray-traced methods, this computer graphics technique has enabled color bleeding effects and realistic shadows for complex scenes in motion pictures.
2009 - The Coons Award (SIGGRAPH 2009)
This year's award is presented to Rob Cook (Vice President of Advanced Technology, Pixar Animation Studios) for his foundational contributions to physically-based reflectance models and distribution ray tracing and his enduring work on behalf of the SIGGRAPH community. The Steven A. Coons Award is given in odd-numbered years to an individual to honor that person's lifetime contribution to the field of computer graphics and interactive techniques.
2009 - The Gordon E. Sawyer Award
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Ed Catmull with the Gordon E.Sawyer Award, for a lifetime of technical contributions and leadership in the field of computer graphics for the motion picture industry, including his work with Pixar's RenderMan.
2001 - Academy Award of Merit - "Oscar®"
Ed Catmull, Loren Carpenter, and Rob Cook, were honored with an Academy Award® of Merit (Oscar®) "for significant advancements to the field of motion picture rendering as exemplified in Pixar's RenderMan®." This was the first Oscar awarded to the developers of a software package for its outstanding contributions to the field.
1993 - Scientific & Engineering Award
In 1993 the developers of Pixar's RenderMan (Loren Carpenter , Rob Cook, Ed Catmull, Thomas Porter, Pat Hanrahan, Tony Apodaca & Darwyn Peachey) won a Scientific and Engineering Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for RenderMan's contribution to the motion picture industry.

nice...that soft sap in the last few pics looks like it would hit like a ton of bricks.

I love saps and jacks. I carry this coin sap from Todd Foster every day.
MODERN COMBATIVE SYSTEMS - Todd Foster Coin Sap
MStephen, welcome from North Carolina.
Its a shame that youth is wasted on the young.
I always had a soft spot on my skull....I mean in my heart for Flat Saps.
I also make them. Mine are filled with fine Lead Shot these days.
Years ago I made them from Kangaroo hide filled with powdered Lead (I'm not too keen about working with powdered Lead now though so I changed to fine Lead shot)
BTW - Kangaroo leather being the toughest and most tenacious leather there is.
Kangaroo leather is getting mighty expensive these days and the hides are not very large. SO...I was looking for a suitable substitute and I finally found one. (yea! me!)
Recently I started making them again - each side of thin plated laminated Vegetable Tanned Hermann Oak "back" leather.
So one Flat Sap consists of 4 Top Grains of Hermann Oak and that is every bit as tough as Kangaroo leather.
I'll post a PIC late tonight or tomorrow.
An improvised sap can be created from the nylon belt holster for maglite flash
light and roll of coins.
One day took the belt holster that came with my Craftsman (Sears) 2 AA mini
flash light - more or less as an experiment - slipped roll of nickels in it. Swung it
not too hard and hit palm of my other hand. OUCH! though I had broke my
hand it hurt so much. Now wonder what would happen if swung it with
force intending to do some damage.
Advantage is that these are common objects which can be carried on person
without inviting atteniton (or arrest by Law enforcement)
Welcome from Missouri, and I definitely wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that thing.

That Todd Foster Coin Sap is a really neat idea.
I've been thinking about getting a sap, I think I'll start looking around for one.

I have a few in my collection and the coin sap is the one I carry every day. 130 dimes packs real nice. It is guaranteed to erase childhood memories.- George
I really like the foster saps so i made a coin sap based on that..8-9 oz. leather hand saddle stitched.Thanks to all for the nice response to my first post.And the large sap i posted weighs 2lbs.2oz.so i named it kong.

Every so often a white middle class Christian male in the United States of
America goes berserk and kills or wounds a few dozen people. Of course, no one makes claims that white Christian males are prone to violence and the fact they are Christian does not lead to claims about violence associated with that religion. James Holmes is a nice 24 year old college student who has done remarkably well in his higher education work. Today, he sits in a courtroom with his red hair and gazes dully into the courtroom.
There will be dozens of articles, documentaries, motion pictures and interviews with renowned psychological experts who will declaim on the mind of James Holmes. Right now, he just sits and stares into oblivion. Of course, no one will dare suggest the need to rethink gun laws or allowing individuals to purchase 6,000 rounds of ammunition.
Who knows what lurks in the heart of James Holmes? Who knows which event sparked the desire for violence in his mind? Most probably in any society of 300,000,000 there are a few thousand ready to blow up and then blow up other people. James Holmes is a mystery. We need time for him to begin unraveling what led him to unravel.
I suspect he does not know nor will he ever know. Such is the real problem with killers who explode in a sudden outburst of fury.

I've been playing around with possible solutions to the problem of speaker placement on a Fett. I have come up with a few designs for customs Mando's - much like Marrow Sun's Super Commando - where I can mount speakers on the cheeks and blend them in with the rest of the "gear".
When custom building it's obviously a hell of a lot easier to fit the style around the parts you want included.
But this doesn't really help us when it comes to Boba or Jango. So far these are the current set ups I have read about:
If there are any other major ones I have missed out please let me know.
- Placing an Rs or equivalent amp/speaker in the ammo pouch with a wire running under the flight suit to the helmet fo rthe Mic. - Easy to hide the amp in the pouches, but the sound can be distorted by the material used for the pouch and can sound out of place.
- Installing the amp/speakers in the jet pack - again, the wire etc are kept out of site, but again we have the problem of where the sound is coming from.
- Installing everything in the helmet - All contained in one area so not as much wire flowing about, but a lot less space than a TK bucket, and serious feedback issues.
From looking at the options I have come up with a few of my own. I would really appreciate any feedback, opinions or criticisms on these.
- Installing an RS amp and mic in the helmet, but removing the existing speaker and replacing it with small speakers that I use for putting in TK Aerators (PM me for details if you want some). The new mini speakers with then be run down to the neck seal and concealed behind the material. This will mean all cabling will be concealed behind the neck seal/in the helmet itself and will allow the sound to appear to originate from the "head area" rather than your hips or elsewhere.
Please let me know what you think of these ideas.
- My second idea, is to have a similar set up as before, but instead of running the speakers to the neck seal, to have them run down the inside of the vest to the chest diamond. The centre silver area of the chest diamond will be removed and replaced by speaker cloth that will be dyed silver and the speaker will be affixed behind the diamond. Again, all cables with be concealed and the speakers should be far enough away from the mic and amp to alleviate feedback.
As I said, the speakers I use are under 20mm in diameter, and I usually put these inside my TK aerators. I am hoping to have a play about this weekend and will let you know of any progress I make.
In the mean time, if anyone can suggest a good microphone please help me out.

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger admitted he was "speechless" when England were not given the 2018 World Cup and switched off his television immediately.
The Arsenal manager had been a firm advocate that football should 'come home' in eight years time. The Frenchman believes the technical element of England's proposal was "perfect" and receiving only two votes in the ballot was "not rational".
However he argues that the biggest problem to arise from this saga is that we now don't really know what criteria DOES secure a World Cup.
"When England didn't get the World Cup I turned it all off, so I didn't see the Qatar decision," said Wenger.
"It is difficult to explain to people that the technical bid of England was perfect but you get only two votes.
"It is not rational. That's why maybe we have to get a bid process that is far more technical and computerised than human. You feel it is more down to human decision than providing the technical criteria.
"At the moment we don't know what wins and loses the World Cup bid. That's where football has to improve.
"I'm humble enough to accept that I am completely wrong. But I'm speechless because I don't understand what happened That's why people should know 'this is the criteria, this is the weight of the criteria'. People are intelligent enough to create a kind of programme that makes it more understandable for everyone.
"If you are beaten in some areas by other countries, then at least you know where you have been beaten."

There were ports between DSiWare and the iOS over the past few years. They both got games like Zenonia, Cut the Rope, Hero of Sparta, blah blah blah. But why haven't we seen more ports from iOS to 3DS?
Here's what I'd like:
- Modern Combat / N.O.V.A. trilogy (stylus and Circle Pad Pro support)
- World of Goo
- Chaos Rings I / II
- Peggle
- Infinity Blade Trilogy (I, II, Dungeons)
- Sonic the Hedgehog 4 / CD
- Dead Space
- Mass Effect: Infiltrator
- NBA Jam
If at least half of these made the eShop, it would be awesome. Let's hope Gameloft supports the eShop as much as Renegade Kid does so this list wouldn't all be in vain.
Games I'm getting: None
Favorite Games: Super Metroid (SNES) / Mother 2 (Super Famicom) / Pokémon LeafGreen (GBA) / RuneScape (PC)
Playing: Pokémon X / Y (3DS) / Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)
Nothing interesting happens.

Levi Johnston Welcomes Baby Breeze Beretta
Sowing his seeds a little further with another out-of-wedlock child, Levi Johnston welcomed a baby girl with his girlfriend Sunny Oglesby.
Little Breeze Beretta Johnston was born today (September 12), with her gun-loving father's influence showing on the middle name. Beretta is a popular Italian firearm manufacturer.
In April, Levi and his Alaska native girlfriend spoke with Inside Edition about the pregnancy, admitting that it was not planned. He explained, "There was a time we went to the cabin and forgot the birth control pills, and a month later we found out we were having a baby."
This is the 22 year-old's second child. The first, of course, was with Bristol Palin, son of Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Their on-again, off-again romance lasted until fall 2010 after son, Tripp, was born in late 2008.

Unsupportive Husband :(
My hubby is not really supportive of me getting this surgery done he thinks it's to drastic and thinks working out will get me the body of my dreams :/ yeah right so as of now my support team sucks!! But I'm still going through with the procedure. I wish there was some way I can give him some kind of reassurance bc going to DR to get this procedure done by myself seems outrageous to him.
Talk to Dr. Duran today still no word from Yily super Stoked tho .. Here r my wish pics.. So far looks like I'm going with duran.
Sooo indecisive.
Finally putting a deposit down tomorrow a.m for yily I'm confident in her sculpting but not so much in her giving my body the projection that I want .I've looking at sx blogs with some of the girls whose body is similar to mine & sadly it's not looking to good basically their butts look the same :/ unfortunately (FLAT) I'm not looking to be a big booty judy but I do want a little back there.
Does anyone know how to get in contact with baez her email is not working.!
