I just discovered a broken outer cv boot on the 98 Legacy. In the Haynes manual they say I have to unstake the axle nut. Not sure what exactly this means. There is a metal ring on top of that nut that at one point is pushed into a gap of an inner circle. Do I have to force that part of the metal ring out? Somebody in this group in a past post wrote: " remove the crimp on the axle nut". Does he mean the same thing as "unstake"? Also a question about the boot clamps installation. The Haynes mentions a special banding tool to do it. Do I need it? How else can a tighten the clamp?
Thanks a lot. Yves

Uncrimp=Unstake=put a small chisel or screwdriver in the slot and pound it in until there is clearance to turn the nut.
Make sure you're following all precautions when working with this as it effects the bearings.
I never elected to re-boot an axle. You might check into the price of a re-manufactured half shaft. Easier and less messy to put in. Replace the outer
seal(s) if you go this route.
Good Luck.

Good advice from SevenSisters, it is not much money for the whole axle. I am thinking around sixty dollars.
Posted 04 October 2004 - 12:12 AM
no need for the special banding tool. draw the metal band tight with a flathead anchoring the collar and pliars pulling the free end tight. Once tight, fold the free end back on itself and crimp the whole thing down by making an X with the flathead and a hammer on top of the collar. It's been holding for me...

Problem is here in Canada the cheapest axle I can get is $166. Order from the US and customs/agents will have a new trick to get more money. Other problem is I don't understand the principle of axle removal (for just boot replacement) Remove axle nut, diconnect control arm from steering knuckle, then (says Haynes) pull the driveaxle out of the steering knuckle (do they mean out of the hub?). THEN I guess I could remove the outer boot and slide a new one in? They say "disengange the inner end of the transaxale from the transaxle". Why should I do this for replacing the outer boot?
Thanks from Yves.
Thanks from Yves.

You remove the axle from the car because it's 100,000 times easier to work on when it's on a bench.Removing axles become easier the more times you do it.

Cochlin, also known as COCH-5B2 and COCH, is a secreted protein which contains one LCCL domain and two VWFA domains. It is an abundant inner ear protein expressed as multiple isoforms. Its function is also unknown, but it is suspected to be an extracellular matrix component. Cochlin and type II collagen are major constituents of the inner ear extracellular matrix, and Cochlin constitutes 70% of non-collagenous protein in the inner ear, the cochlin isoforms can be classified into three subgroups, p63s, p44s and p40s. The expression of cochlin is highly specific to the inner ear. Eleven missense mutation and one in-frame deletion have been reported in the COCH gene, causing hereditary progressive sensorineural hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction, deafness autosomal dominant type 9 (DFNA9). The co-localization of cochlin and type II collagen in the fibrillar substance in the subepithelial area indicate that cochlin may play a role in the structural homeostasis of the vestibule acting in concert with the fibrillar type II collagen bundles. Defects in COCH may contribute to Meniere disease which is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hearing loss associated with episodic vertigo.

Some people say: "Just because you're vegan, doesn't mean you're healthy. Vegans eat a lot of processed foods. Processed foods are killing people. Processed foods are evil." In today's episode, I offer my response to this idea that "processed foods" are bad for us or that they reflect poorly on veganism. The truth is we ALL eat "processed (... More)

Community health worker Gomma Saïdou meets with Amina Mamane and her eleven-month-old daughter, in their village in Maradi Region. Gomma is advising on healthy foods to improve the child's nutritional status.
Community health worker Gomma Saïdou, 50, is a welcome guest in the homes of her neighbours. Smiles brighten the faces of women and children as this genial grandmother gently guides families towards better childcare practices in Safo Nassaraoua, in south-central Niger's Maradi region.
"Four years ago," says Gomma, "the village selected ten of us women to be trained as community health workers. I was already a traditional birth attendant, so that's why they chose me."
To extend health coverage to underserved villages, UNICEF and its partners equip village volunteers to teach families home-based health-care practices for their children. Training includes subjects such as disease prevention through good hygiene and improved nutrition, recognizing signs of malnutrition and illness, and knowing how and when to access health care.
These lessons are especially pertinent as Niger combats an ongoing nutrition emergency. A July 2008 survey revealed that 10.7 per cent of children under age five are acutely malnourished nationwide and that close to 40 per cent are stunted.
Gomma sees evidence of the nutrition emergency in her village. As a member of the community-based growth promotion team, she helps monitor the growth of children under age three by weighing them monthly.
"While mothers wait to have their babies weighed," Gomma says, "we give them practical tips on exclusive breastfeeding, age-appropriate feeding practices and household hygiene." Mothers of underweight children receive individual counselling on how to create balanced meals. Children identified as malnourished are referred for treatment at one of the over 800 UNICEF-supported feeding centres.
"A week after we weigh the children," says Gomma, "I visit the homes of women with underweight children to see if they have been able to follow our advice." Children with low or borderline weights are at risk of malnutrition. Today she stops by the home of Amina Mamane, 43, and her 11-month-old daughter Sharifa. A week ago, the baby's weight was barely within the normal range for her age.
Times are hard for Amina. Both she and her husband work in the fields to grow enough food for their family of six. Amina's husband also hires out as a labourer in other fields to earn money for food because the family's granary is empty and harvest is two months away. "We've had two bad years in a row," explains Amina, "but the crops look better this year."
Gomma understands what Amina is experiencing because she raised her family in similar circumstances. When she asks about the baby's health, Amina says, "I stayed home from the field today because Sharifa is sick. I also need to pound millet for the children." Amina will make a beverage of millet and water for the family to drink till they can afford to buy the ingredients for their next meal.
As Gomma engages in small talk, she adds a little humour to lighten Amina's spirits. Then she reminds Amina of steps to fight malnutrition and improve her baby's health.
Insufficient food intake is but one cause of malnutrition. Factors such as the availability of health care, access to lifesaving information, and clean water and hygiene also play a role. Gomma includes these elements in her advice to Amina, "Remember to use clean water for the millet drink. If Sharifa's symptoms worsen, take her to the health centre right away for free treatment. Don't forget to bathe the children and keep the yard swept."
Amina nods as she listens attentively. She thanks Gomma for her concern about the baby's health. When Gomma takes her leave, Amina accompanies her to the gate. Then Gomma walks down the street to the next home to share vital malnutrition prevention information in the form of a friendly visit from a caring neighbour.

Protection for Type MC cable
Q:Why does the National Electrical Code (NEC) require physical protection for Type MC cable where installed less than 1.25 inches from the surface for runs that are parallel to metal framing members, but this clearance is not required where the cable is pulled through prepunched holes in metal framing members?
A:The cable must be protected from physical damage where installed less than 1.25-in. from the nearest edge of the framing member. Although 300.4(A), (C) and (D) do not mention the need for physical protection of Type MC cable that is installed through framing members, 330.17, "Through or Parallel to Framing Members," reads: "Type MC cable shall be protected in accordance with 300.4(A), (C) and (D) where installed through or parallel to framing members."
The problem is there are no rules in 300.4 that apply to wiring methods that are installed in holes or slots in metal framing members. However, it is reasonable to assume that the 1.25-inch clearance that applies to Type MC that runs parallel to metal framing members also applies to cable that is installed through framing members.
Wiring receptacles in patient areas
Q:Does the Code permit surface metal raceway as the wiring method for patient care areas of a hospital where a green insulated conductor is installed in the surface metal raceway and the raceway is used as the other equipment-grounding conductor? These branch circuits supply "hospital grade" 20-ampere, 125-volt ¬receptacles.
A:Although there are no specific rules for grounding surface metal raceways in Article 386—Surface Metal Raceways, 300.10, requires electrical continuity of metal raceways, requires that raceways be mechanically joined together to form a continuous electrical conductor, and states they must be connected to all boxes, fittings and cabinets to ensure electrical continuity.
In the General Information for Electrical Equipment Directory (White Book) 2005 edition, published by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., under the title "Raceways (RGKT)," a list of raceway types appears including surface metal raceways and fittings. There are six different kinds of raceways included under this title.
At the end of the list, this paragraph appears: "Metallic raceways and associated fittings installed in accordance with the product markings and manufacturer's instructions are suitable for use as equipment grounding conductors."
Properly installed surface metal raceway containing an insulated equipment-grounding conductor may be used to supply receptacles in patient care areas of a hospital as outlined in 517.13 (A) and (B).
P.A. system branch circuits
Q:What types of wiring methods are permitted for 125-volt branch circuits that supply a public address system in an auditorium that is required to be of fire-rated construction and accommodates more than 100 people? Is type NM-B cable permitted for these units?
A:Branch circuits connected to the premise electrical system must be installed to comply with any of the wiring methods permitted in Article 518—Assembly Occupancies. Although this equipment is covered in Article 640— Audio Signal Processing, Amplification and Reproduction Equipment, 640.3(E) reads: "Assembly Occupancies. Equipment used in assembly occupancies shall comply with Article 518."
Wiring methods that are acceptable for the power wiring for the public address system in the auditorium are metal raceways; flexible metal raceways; nonmetallic raceways encased in not less than 2 inches of concrete; and Types MI, MC or AC cable containing an insulated equipment-grounding conductor sized in accordance with Table 250.122.
Class 2 and Class 3 wiring associated with the public address system may be wired to comply with Article 725—Class 1, and Class 2 and Class 3 Remote Control, Signaling and Power-Limited Circuits.
Legally required standby systems
Q:What are the major differences in the requirements for an emergency system and legally required standby system?
A:The Scopes of the Articles (700—Emergency Systems and 701—Legally Required Standby Systems) should be reviewed to separate one system from the other. An emergency system is intended to automatically supply illumination and power to designated areas and equipment when the normal source of power fails.
It supplies power and illumination essential for safety to human life. Legally required standby systems are intended to supply, distribute and control electricity to required facilities such as ventilation, smoke removal systems, sewage disposal and communications. For the emergency system, a portable or temporary alternate source must be available whenever the emergency generator is out of service for major maintenance or repair. The automatic transfer switch must be identified for emergency use.
Ground-fault indication is required for emergency systems operating at more than 150 volts to ground and overcurrent devices are rated at 1,000 amperes or more. Wiring for emergency circuits must be kept entirely independent of all other wiring unless required to be associated with normal source wiring.
All boxes and enclosures containing emergency wiring must be permanently marked. Feeder circuits for emergency systems must be protected by an automatic fire suppression system, a one-hour fire rating or embedded in 2 inches of concrete or a cable listed to maintain circuit integrity for not less than one hour in assembly, educational, residential, correctional, business and mercantile occupancies that can accommodate 1,000 or more people in buildings that are above 75 feet in height.
The emergency power source must have protection as described for feeders in occupancies described above. These requirements are unique to the emergency system. A legally required standby system must energize the load in 60 seconds compared to 10 seconds for the emergency system. All legally required standby wiring may occupy the same raceways and boxes with the normal wiring. A connection ahead of the service disconnecting means is permitted for the legally required standby system where acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. These are some of the important differences between the two systems.
Delta circuit breaker
Q:What is a "delta" breaker that is mentioned in 408.36(E)?
A:A delta breaker is a specially designed three-pole circuit breaker that provides three-phase power to three-phase loads from a single-phase, three-wire distribution panel or load center. Two poles of the circuit breaker connect to the buses in the three-wire single-phase panelboard and the "stringer" or high leg of the three-phase, four-wire delta power supply at the service is connected to a lug or terminal on the delta breaker. This arrangement supplies three-phase equipment that usually was air-conditioning equipment in a residential occupancy.
The problem is back feed to the single-phase bus in the panelboard when the two-pole main circuit breaker is open and the three-phase load is energized with the delta breaker in the closed position.
For this reason, 408.36 prohibits their use on new construction. This is the way part (E) reads: "Delta Breakers. A three-phase disconnect or overcurrent device shall not be connected to the bus of any panelboard that has less than three-phase buses. Delta breakers shall not be installed in panelboards."
To provide replacement delta breakers in existing panelboards, UL lists delta breakers "for replacement only." This information appears under the title: "Circuit Breakers, Molded Case and Circuit Breaker Enclosures" (DIVQ) in the 2005 Edition of the General Information for Electrical Equipment Directory (White Book): "Three-pole circuit breakers having provision for two poles to be connected to a bus structure and a third isolated pole (commonly referred to as delta breakers) are marked 'for replacement use only.'"
Installing ground rods
Q:Does the NEC allow a ground rod to be placed in a 3-inch diameter hole that is about 9 feet deep then backfilled with dirt that was removed from the hole?
A:The NEC in 250.53(G) requires that ground rods be driven unless rock prevents driving the rod in the earth. Part (G) says: "Rod and Pipe Electrodes. The electrode shall be installed such that at least 2.44 m (8 ft.) of length is in contact with the soil. It shall be driven to a depth of not less than 2.44 m (8 ft.) except that where rock bottom is encountered, the electrode shall be driven at an oblique angle not to exceed 45 degrees from the vertical or, where rock bottom is encountered at an angle up to 45 degrees, the electrode shall be buried in a trench that is at least 750 mm (30 inches) deep."
Notice that the rule uses the word "driven" in two places. The only time it can be placed in the earth and backfilled is where rock is encountered close to the earth surface.
GFCI protection for clothes washer
Q:A clothes washer and gas-fired clothes dryer are located in the bathroom of an efficiency apartment. Do the 15-ampere, 125-volt receptacles that supply these appliances have to be protected by ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)?
A:Yes, they do. All 15- and 20-ampere, 125-volt receptacles installed in bathrooms must have GFCI protection for personnel.
Although these receptacles may not be readily accessible because they are behind appliances, there is no exception that removes the requirement.
Unlike garages and accessory buildings, which have exceptions that remove the requirement where receptacles are not readily accessible or where receptacles supply appliances in dedicated space, there is no similar relief for bathroom receptacles.
If there is a laundry tub in the bathroom, 210.8(A)(7) requires a ground-fault circuit interrupter protected receptacle within 6 feet of the outside edge of the tub. EC

Oh Skype… They have another security problem. Skype on Mac OS X has a bit of a flaw. You can send a Skype message to another user and potentially get remote access to that other computer. Gordon Maddern, a security researcher, found the flaw and told Skype about it more than a month ago, but there was no fix until after the news started spreading that there was an issue. Skype has released a small term patch, but no full fix has been released, nor has users been notified to update.
Just days before Google I/O begins, French security firm Vupen demonstrates a zero-day vulnerability in Google Chrome allowing remote execution. The exploit, which hasn't been released to the public, bypasses Chrome's praised Sandbox as well as Address Space Layout Randomization and Data Execution Prevention. Google, busy introducing the Chromebook, has not verified VUPEN's claims and says that if necessary an update will be pushed to users automatically.
The death of Osama Bin Laden has spurred several scams throughout the interwebz. Malware has shown up on certain websites, a Facebook scam popped up, and even the blog of the guy who accidentially live twittered the event has been compromised. Scammers are smart and they know what you're looking for. People want to see the 'Osama death video', which doesn't exist. So for anyone out there who was considering clicking that video on Facebook and sharing it with your friends, DON'T, and while you're at it, delete it from your profile if someone else posted it.
Symantic security researchers are reporting that a flaw in the way application authentication works on Facebook, nearly 100,000 apps may have complete access to your account. Facebook now uses OAUTH 2.0 for authentication, however older authentication schemes are still in use. The firm advises users to change their passwords immediately — which essentually thwarts the access token bug.
Hot off the heals of Ubuntu's 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" release — which has been getting mixed reviews due to the new Unity window manager, Backtrack Linux releases the much awaited version 5. In addition to native 64-bit and ARM processor support the security distribution now comes in both KDE and Gnome flavors. Are you excited? Have you checked it out? It's available via torrents, has a stealth mode, comes with Metasploit, and sounds just plain awesome!
Kerby's oldschool app of the week

Hacking the Dingoo Digital A320
This week I'm introducing this fun little device called the Dingoo Digital.
The Dingoo Digital A320 is a gaming handheld for open game development. It has modest hardware specs: 400MHz CPU, 32MB of RAM, 4GB internal storage, a miniSD reader, a 2.8″" LCD screen with a 320×240 resolution, and your normal jacks. The cool part is the software. You can playback several video and audio file types, there is a built in FM tuner for radio, you can record voice, and the SDK is available for free. My favorite part is it's customization features and ability to play ROMs. Because who doesn't like video games?
The device comes preinstalled with several arcade games like Centipede, Mine Sweeper, and has built in Emulators for your convenience as well. But if you want more with your new toy, what is better than installing Linux on it?
Enter Dingux, the Linux Distro for the Dingoo. You can get Dingux on the dingoo-scene website as well as really easy steps to follow if you want to check it out.
First off, you'll need to download a couple of files. Booboo's dual boot installer zip file for Windows, and the local-10 or local zip file. Charge your Dingoo so it doesn't die during the reflashing process. We don't want a bricked Dingoo!
Once your files are downloaded, unzip the Dual Boot file into a new folder wherever you want on your PC.
Turn on the Dingoo and go to the 'System Setup' menu, 'About', and press A. Press up-right-down-up-right-down and an easter egg diagnostics screen pops up. On the screen it should say ILI9331 or ILI9325 at the end of one of the lines. Mine says 9331. This is an LCD model and pertains to the flashing procedure.
Now, reset the Dingoo by holding B and pressing in the power button. The screen will stay dark so don't panic!
Plug the Dingoo Digital into your PC. Choose cancel if any 'new hardware found' screens pop up. When your PC asks for a driver location choose your newly created Dual Boot folder. The driver should successfully install and you're ready to flash your Dingoo!
Unplug the Dingoo, press the reset button, and let it boot into the normal firmware. You won't need to hit the on button during this reset.
Hold the B button down and press POWER AGAIN. Plug the Dingoo back into your PC.
Open cmd, and go to the Dual Boot File directory. cd shannon\downloads\Dingoo Dual Boot and execute the usbtool-win file. We're going to upload a file to a specified address, so we'll type usbtool-win 1 hwinit.bin 0x80000000. This should start the flashing. Then type usbtool-win 1 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI9331 0x80600000 and press enter. A screen will appear on the Dingoo saying Dual Boot Flasher and press start to coninue.
Follow the on screen instructions. If done correctly, it'll say Success at the end. You should see a Dingux startup screen when your Dingoo restarts. There is another step to getting Dingux to startup, so right now it'll just boot to the original firmware.
Reset your Dingoo and plug it into the PC. Your PC should find it in a few seconds.
Next, plug in your mini SD card and format it to FAT32. Unzip everything from the second file you downloaded, local-10.zip, to the root of your mini SD card.
After unzipped, go to the mini SD card and rename your LCD screen file to zImage. So, mine is 'zImage-20090707-ILI9331', and I'll change the name to 'zImage'. Delete the other LCD image file if you want to.
Then, you're done! Unplug and reset the Dingoo while holding down the Select key. It should boot into Dingux and launch the Dmenu. You should see a new menu on your screen.
Now that you have Dingux installed, go online and find some handy ROMs!
There is a ton of stuff you can do with this gaming device. The growing online community has tons of homebrew video games to try out, theme packs, and ROM's available. I've linked a bunch of the websites in our shownotes. I'm thinking next week I'm going to try to stick Doom on here, because, why not? It's DOOM!

A gripping novel with the pace of a thriller but the nuanced characterization and deep empathy of some of the literary canon's most beloved novels, Remember Me Like This introduces Bret Anthony Johnston as one of the most gifted storytellers writing today. With his sophisticated and emotionally taut plot and his shimmering prose, Johnston reveals that only in caring for one another can we save ourselves.
Four years have passed since Justin Campbell's disappearance, a tragedy that rocked the small town of Southport, Texas. Did he run away? Was he kidnapped? Did he drown in the bay? As the Campbells search for answers, they struggle to hold what's left of their family together.
Then, one afternoon, the impossible happens. The police call to report that Justin has been found only miles away, in the neighboring town, and, most important, he appears to be fine. Though the reunion is a miracle, Justin's homecoming exposes the deep rifts that have diminished his family, the wounds they all carry that may never fully heal. Trying to return to normal, his parents do their best to ease Justin back into his old life. But as thick summer heat takes hold, violent storms churn in the Gulf and in the Campbells' hearts. When a reversal of fortune lays bare the family's greatest fears - and offers perhaps the only hope for recovery - each of them must fight to keep the ties that bind them from permanently tearing apart.
©2014 Bret Anthony Johnston (P)2014 Random House Audio
"A gripping study of the complexities that follow a traumatic life event.... The reader is transformed into a silent witness alongside the characters." (Nylon)
"It is as a writer that I admire the architecture of Remember Me Like This, the novel's flawless storytelling. It is as the father of three sons that I vouch for the psychological authenticity of this depiction of any parent's worst fears. Emotionally, I am with this family as they try to move ahead - embracing 'the half-known and desperate history' that they share. I love this novel." (John Irving)
"A sensitive and frequently suspenseful portrait of a family struggling to heal in the aftermath of great trauma." (Booklist)
The story really only begins with the return of a boy who had disappeared. The author does an incredible job setting up believable characters and the real drama: will each of them and the family as a whole survive the new sets of circumstances that follow from Justin's return?
I won't give it away, but the epilogue raises all the right questions and made me want to read it all over again.
Honestly, I was so focused on the story, I hardly noticed the performance either way. And I mean that as a compliment.
Not really, but I loved the way it drew me in to the characters and their choices, their means of coping with the new situation.
Really excellent story.
"Impressive Novel of Loss and Family"
loved this dissection of an American family in the aftermath of a tragedy and how each member copes (or doesn't) with it.
i think the characters were so strong...it was like i was living this story through them. i knew how each of them thought, felt, existed.
the way Johnston handled the thought provoking experience of losing (and finding) a child was really expertly done. i couldn't stop the story from running in my head -- and i expect to continue to think about it for a while.
i was surprised and extremely impressed with how this novel ended...really really liked it
"Emotional but Over-written"
An emotional story about the aftermath of a child abduction. IMHO, the emotional impact was weakened by the over-written agonizing of the parents and remaining sibling. It just became too repetitive and disrupted the momentum of the story. Decent performance,
"Gripping tale of pain, justice and recovery"
Yes. This book deals with the complexities of a family whose oldest child is kidnapped and is recovered, alive, 4 years later. All members have jagged edges of guilt, hope, and defeat, both regarding the search for Justin and the aftermath. All question what they could have done differently, and feelings of hatred and anger toward the man who took Justin away.
I liked that it didn't have a happy ending, but there were glimmers of hope amidst some of the mess left behind.
I don't really have one, but Mark Bramhall is a fantastic narrator, and his performance shines in the slow, humid descriptions of a Texas summer.
"The story seemed slow with too much trivial detal."
I finally gave up when I got tired of both the narrator and the characters.
"loved it from the very beginning."
it's always interesting to read or listen to a book that is about an area or geography that you know. I was surprised to start off in such familiar territory. But that wasn't what made this book so spellbinding. Every turn was unexpected. I never knew how it was going to turn out. There was never moment of finality, not even at the very end.

Are you a PHP Developer working in Dorset who is –
I have run my website design and web development company in Poole, Dorset for 15 years. We started as a new business in the days that when we made appointments to visit people who were just interested to know what this new technology was and we spent 3 years educating the business population as to what the Internet could do for their business. In those days the Internet could have gone by without anyone knowing its potential. I actually met a business manager 8 months ago who said to me 14 years ago when I attended an appointment to sell him a website "This Internet thing will never take off. It's expensive; its slow and traditional business will never be replaced by it!" Needless to say he is on the Internet now and gains a good percentage of his turnover from it.
Anyway to get back to my point, it can be a pretty lonely existence out there as a one man web company. The current climate does not lend itself to new businesses and daily, businesses are "cutting back" or worse disappearing. To manage clients, do the web development, get the new web development sales, do the invoicing and chase the bills is a tall order for one person.
I am finding more opportunities to purchase new web portfolios than 2 years ago because good entrepreneurs are finding the marketplace against them and they are giving up hope.
For that reason I am looking for a good PHP developer who could amalgamate his business within ours, can earn a better salary and can earn from the business he brings into Dorset Web. If you feel that this is an option for you or even better excites you then please call me direct on my mobile 07748 802462 or email me on email@example.com
We know that we can find and run the business and we need a good PHP Developer who can bring their expertise to manage our PHP work.
Please call me in strict confidence, I can fill in a Non Disclosure Agreement to keep your business details in strict confidence if you have any concerns.
Responsive websites boost business...
As the percentage of those who view websites via mobiles and tablets increases, it is important for you are confident that people are a good viewing experience...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – It's not an uncommon idea. Many people have tried to bring various professional sports to Birmingham over the years, although most of those attempts have been largely unsuccessful.
But a new grassroots movement in Birmingham to bring professional soccer to the city is gaining steam.
Morgan Copes and co-founder John Killian got the idea to bring soccer to Birmingham just seven short months ago. The two believe a team, which they are calling the Birmingham Hammers, would be a hit in the city as a part of a lower-tier professional soccer league.
However, their ultimate goal doesn't stop with the North American Soccer League or the United Soccer League Professional Division. Instead, they hope to bring Major League Soccer to the city in the future.
"I think there will be a whole bunch of people coming in and, you know, supporting the team," soccer fan Omar Alkahlout said.
The movement is still in its beginning stages, but the group held a fundraiser on Wednesday night to begin the process of funding a team in Birmingham.
"We're really focusing on awareness," said Copes. "Just kind of getting the word out there."
Copes and Killian are not alone in their belief that Birmingham is prime real estate for a new soccer franchise. Roger Mendoza, the manager of Vestavia's Soccer Locker store, has played the sport since he could walk. Mendoza believes Birmingham is ready for professional soccer.
"[Customers] ask who [the Birmingham Hammers] are, what they're doing, and I give them the spiel," Mendoza explained. "They sound very excited. They love it. They would buy season tickets."
Perhaps the largest obstacle for the Hammers isn't generating a following. It has nothing to do with whether or not Birmingham would be receptive to a soccer team. Rather, it has everything to do with having a place for the Hammers to play their games.
The entire transition from generating interest, funding a team and finding a place to play could have been much easier for the Hammers.
The Birmingham City Council had previously earmarked tax revenues for a multi-purpose dome stadium with the express purpose of supporting a professional sports team. Instead, the money was redirected to shore up city deficits and to build the Birmingham CrossPlex.
Birmingham Mayor William Bell insists he would fully support a minor league soccer team moving to the city. However, he says Birmingham does not have the money to help support a team at the moment.
"If you have to make a choice between putting money into a sports facility or a sports team, and providing services, it becomes a difficult decision," Mayor Bell said.
Despite the obstacles, Cope and Killian remain resolute in their goal. The group has garnered over 1,500 "likes" on Facebook. The two plan to remain vigilant in their quest to bring soccer to Birmingham.
"We are going to be tackling this as aggressively as we possibly can, but we have to do it at the right pace," Copes said.
In the meantime, CBS42 plans to dig deeper into the issue, such as finding out how much money has been collected since January 1, 2009, and tracking down when the city plans to redirect the revenue for its intended purpose – to build a sports facility in Birmingham.

Pink October
The pink ribbons are everywhere: on yogurt containers as well as pro football players' armbands. The message: breast cancer awareness month is here. Pay attention.
My story: a routine mammogram (get one, please!) detected my stage zero (wildly aggressive cells, no tumor), breast cancer nine years ago. My care was the best because, as a healthcare worker, I knew thee person to go to for immediate treatment. And I knew where to find support when I needed it most – usually in the dark of night as my family slept. I logged on and found information and comfort on various websites. Pink October feels like an appropriate time to share these life-saving, supportive resources.
FORCE: (facing our risk of cancer empowered)
"FORCE is the only national nonprofit organization devoted to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Our mission includes support, education, advocacy, awareness, and research specific to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Our programs serve anyone with a BRCA mutation or a family history of cancer."
While I did not have the genetic predisposition for breast cancer or ovarian cancer, I found the information on this site extremely helpful. On the message boards I posted my detailed and intimate questions about breast cancer treatment and life after treatment. The women who wrote were profoundly generous - sharing their experiences and offering kindness. Two women sent me gifts and encouraging words. I will never meet them, but I will love them forever. They gave me hope.
A breast cancer site addresses almost every conceivable topic. Spanish translation is available. Moderators organize the discussion board conversations by topic: stages and types of diagnosis and treatment, day-to-day concerns and recovery, renewal and hope. I posted a question and comments at three in the morning – minutes later a woman in Australia answered. The women who posted comments directed me to my next step: restoring my body with a medical dream team in New Orleans - my NOLA saints! Women come from around the world to receive care and healing from these compassionate and skilled physicians.
A breast cancer diagnosis is every woman's nightmare. Until medical research arrives at a cure, we will fight to survive this deadly disease. We will continue to tell our stories. We will fight with courage, knowledge and companionship; we will carry each other through the darkness and celebrate each other's recovery and renewal until one day - the nightmare is no more.
