Hooks in Subversion?

How do I get the subversion post-commit hook to work in Windows. I've created a post-commit.bat but the script just isn't getting called. Any ideas?

Hooks in Subversion?
1) Make sure that the post-commit.bat file is in the hooks folder of your Subversion repository (on the server side). As yet, Subversion does not have client-side hook scripts.


2) Perhaps the script is being called, but its behaviour is not what you expect. Add some tracing code to the script and see what happens. Did you perhaps intend to write a pre-commit script?
Reply:That's pretty much it. make sure the script is in the right place (in your repository folder, in \hooks) and make sure that the user that the svn server runs as has read permissions on the script. you connect to your repository using svn:// something, right? not file:// ...

Condensor Mic that hooks up to the computer? (AKG Perception etc.)?

I'm a rapper, and have lots of singers come by too. I'm looking for a new microphone because the one I have is a garbage average computer mic. I need a condenser to start recording music.





My problem is that I need a mic to hook up to an average PC. I have a Dell, and I know they have USB Condenser mics out there, but I heard the quality stinks. Is there a way to connect an AKG Perception 100 Large-Diaphragm Condenser mic to my computer.





I don't know much about pre-amps at all, or interfaces and all that stuff. Can someone guide me through step by step on what mic would suit my needs. I was looking at the AKG and it looks great, but how would I hook that up to my computer? HELP I'm lost.

Condensor Mic that hooks up to the computer? (AKG Perception etc.)?
im not so sure what its called, so sorry, you will have to do this research on your own, but ill tell you what i know: depending on the type of mic it is there are different ways. if its usb, then plug it into the usb, if its mic jack, plug it into a mic jack, if its like a plug that was 3 little prongs or so inside, then thats your problem, theres a way to do it, but im not exactly sure how. theres prob something out there that converts it to a usb, or mic jack, but in my school theres this thing they have, and its for a guitar, where the amp plug goes into a thing that converts it to a usb, and it acts like a foot pedal, (shown here: http://www.guitarcenter.com/ToneWorks-AX... ) but yeah, theres deff something like that out there.

Gun used to cut hooks swallowed by fish?

called the " hook gun". put the tool around fish hook and pull the trigger and it cuts the hook.

Gun used to cut hooks swallowed by fish?
Jodi,


I have one, it's not that expensive and comes in handy with toothy fish like bluefish and pike. The long reach helps you get down in and retrieve the hook( it's like little pliers. Most of the time it comes right out w/o harming the fish so yeah, stick one in the bottom of your tackle box for those times when you might say," I wish I had that thingy!". Good luck


-Duke
Reply:I hate to say this and I will be bashed for it but hooks dont just rust away!Yes they slowly disolve if they are bronze hooks or fine wire ones but it takes a long time for them to do this.


When the hook disolves enough to be broken off is when and only when it "disolves"!


In saltwater a bronze hooks disolves faster than in freshwater but it still takes time!


Take a spring float and push"rotate" eyelet of hook into the belly and remove hook with pair of hemo's or needle nose pliers!Or th e new hook cutter tool!
Reply:Or you can just not waste the money on buying that. Just cut the line. Hooks are inexpensive and will eventually dissolve in the fish or become dislodged. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hooks, gamakatsu, mustad, lazersharp eagle claw,?

i want to buy a worm hook so i can texas rig it (weedless) which hook brand should i buy, i need some sugestions like brand and ewg or someting

Hooks, gamakatsu, mustad, lazersharp eagle claw,?
My opinion is Gamakatsu 3/0 extra wide gap. This has always been my normal hook. When you start getting into jerk baits like flukes and others similiar, I usually move to a 4/0, same brand and gap.
Reply:There's nothing wrong with Mustad or Eagle Claw, but personally I prefer either Gamakatsu, Matzuo, or VMC wide gap hooks. Lately I've been using the VMC Fast-Grip Wide-Gaps. They have a multi-stage barb that I think not only sets and holds better, it also does less harm to the fish.
Reply:hi there when it comes down to hook choice it is very important do u want a long shaft short shaft barb or not thin wired or thick laser sharpened points etc etc now on the list u put i would go with mustad they are a very well made hook and strong now my other choice would be kamasan but i do not no if u get them over there and i think kamasan make the best hook for texas rigging good luck

Reply:I use a 3/0 gamagatsu ewg offset shank worm hook for most of my texas rigging, unless it is for senkos. Then i use 4/0 gamagatsu ewg offset shank worm hook.





good luck!
Reply:gamakatsu 2/0 or 3/0 depending on the length of lizard/worm/tube,etc.
Reply:Mustad will be your cheapest option and I have not had enough problems to warrant the extra cost. Gamakatsu is a better hook but you will pay for that luxury.

Substituting Crochet Hooks?

There is a pattern using a size H crochet hook. The closest I have to that size is a size I hook - do you think it would be alright if I used the I hook? or will it come out weird?

Substituting Crochet Hooks?
There is a .5mm difference between the two needles. If you have a ruler handy look at it and you will see what the difference would be. Depending on what you are making you may want to check with your pattern and see what the difference is if you make it one size smaller.
Reply:Since the 'I' hook is slightly larger, your project will end up larger. Since I don't know what you are making I don't have just one answer. If it is an afghan or a scarf, no problem at all, it'll just end up larger. If you are making an article of clothing it might turn out loose or even to large, depending on what size you are making, and you might need to make the next size smaller. If you are making a small project, just tighten up your tension to keep to gauge.
Reply:Just acquire the same measurements for the I hook that is given for the H hook, and remember to maintain it throughout the project or if it is okay for your project to be 1/4 inch larger, all is well with the I hook.
Reply:The hook may be ok. You can always adjust how loose or tight you crochet. Follow the gauge guide that starts off most patterns.

How do I create a garden space on a 2nd floor apartment balcony? How do i put celing hooks up on the balcony?

What are your suggestions fro creating a garden on a small 2nd floor balcony? How do you put hanging hooks up into a cement balcony celing? What flowers/plants do you suggest?

How do I create a garden space on a 2nd floor apartment balcony? How do i put celing hooks up on the balcony?
The biggest things to know when balcony gardening are which direction you face.. and water loss is your biggest concern. Pots lose water quickly. Use as big a pot as you can. If it's ok with the building, build planter boxes. fill the pots or boxes with hanging basket mix[ I added 1/3 composted manure because I go organic]. Cover the soil around the base of the plants with some type of mulch to keep the wind and sun from the soil. Plant something that likes water in your smallest pot.. when it wilts, water. If you face east you can grow almost anything. If you face south or west, you may want to stick to hot sun lovers, like marigolds, portulaca, ornamental grasses, sedums, hens n chicks, cacti, geraniums, rosemary[take in for winter], sage, thymes of all sorts, oregano, basil, tomatoes, peppers, and others. Basically anything from a mediterranean, or semidesert climate. If you face north then you need shade lovers. Things like impatiens, coleus, most houseplants, mints of all kinds, begonias, ferns, parsley, violets, violas and pansies, browallia, and anything else your nursery says will grow in shade in your area.
Reply:Pots work well or you might consider hydroponics. Hydroponics should give you better results, but they are more work to maintain. As for the hooks you do need to check with the apt. complex and when they say no, maybe you can put up a wooden 2x4 somehow and then put your hooks into that. [2x4's up the sides along the wall and then a 2x4 on top?!]
Reply:Go to any hardware store and get concrete screws Well your there check out there garden center and they'll have something there for your garden.
Reply:I would check with your apt. complex first to see if it is ok to put holes in the ceiling. If it is concrete then you will have to use a drill bit made for concrete. As for plants... depends on where you live and what kind of sun exposure you have. If you just want flowers you will probably need to go with annuals (they die every year but the blooms are typically brighter and last longer) Perennials come up every year but dont last too long. I would go with some hanging baskets with flowers that are more viney so they will hang down. Sorry I cant be more help unless I know where you live.
Reply:Tomatoes are real easy in pots! Full size or cherry. So are herbs. Petunias will grow and hang down and look nice. Ferns look good hanging. Ornimental Grass might look good too. Just have fun with it! As for hooks, guess you'll have to have a concrete bit and drill holes for the hooks.

In honesty, Can any one really tell me just how good or bad the Hercules Hooks are.?

I have a home that you really can't hang things on the wall, due to the fact that the house is old and the drywall is cheap and the the studs is'nt 16" center, I am doing more damage to my walls trying to find a stud, thinking I found one then hanging something only for it to come crashing down and making a bigger hole then I stared out with... and forget the drywall plugs, so I am hopeing the Hercules Hooks are as has good as they seem to be. So can anyone please tell me more about them and just how good or bad they are. Thanks so much.

Reader's Digest did a study on "As Seen on TV" gadgets. Their staff tested the hooks and hated them. Some said that they even damaged their walls.
Reply:I have a set of the Hercules Hooks. Honestly, I think they work great. I use them for things like pictures and small wall hangings. I have found though that their threshold is not quite as much as the proclaim it to be. They work fantastically with about 15-20lbs of weight, go too much beyond that and they kinda wimp out. But if picture frames and smaller items are what you have to hang I would highly recommend them! Good Luck!

I don't like Billy Mays but I do think Hercules Hooks are a good idea. I've heard that there are other brands so I searched and found www.drywallhooks.com. They sell Heavy Duty Wall Hangers and actually claim they were the first to invent them. If thats the case it makes me not like him even more. Anyone tried them? Is there any difference? I'd like to try them because they have better prices and NO BILLY!

I haven't personally tried them. I read a review in Better Homes and Gardens magazine that they didn't hold all the weight they claimed, that the part behind the wall came through and was visible. They definitely didn't recommend them.

I just bought this awesome Swiss Army tunic. What's with these metal hooks on the sides?
Because the Swiss army never actually fights anyone they serve a dual purpose, and that is to carry the milk of their cows down the mountains to the chocolate factories.





The hooks are so they can carry more pails of milk.
Reply:They are for carrying scalps.
Reply:It really depends on the type of service the wearer performed in the tunic. Is it a field tunic or a dress tunic?


For example, if it is a basic field tunic, there are extra loops on the shoulders, arms, and sides to attach extra foliage/camo to if needed. If it is a dress or march tunic, the hooks could be for flag-carrying equipment.





So, there is really more than one answer to your question. The best thing I can tell you is to research the type of job the original wearer performed or search the garment for a tag to get a model number that may be researched.





Good Luck!

I need to help my friend replace his guitar strings, but he has hooks instead of bridge pins...?

My friend tells me that instead of bridge pins, his guitar, which I presume is quite old, has hooks for the strings. Do you need special strings to restring this guitar, how does it work?

I need to help my friend replace his guitar strings, but he has hooks instead of bridge pins...?
There are 2 types of guitar strings I'm aware of. One has a "bullet" end which works only on certain guitars. The other has the classic "ring".





My guess is, without knowing the brand of guitar - it's just a guess, you'll just use standard strings. You simply put the strings through the notch until the end is taut against the bridge.





If this doesn't help, amend the question including the model.
Reply:If it has a metal or wooden tailpiece like an old style Jazz guitar then you can just use regular strings and the "hooks" will allow the string to pass through but not the ball end. If its a super old school with a banjo style, then you are better off hanging it on the wall, or selling it to a museum.





http://www.chaddukes.org/
Reply:It was made for "loop end" strings like a banjo - if you can't find those, you can use regular "ball end" strings - fit the hook in the loop where the ball is attached - or make a loop by threading the string through the ball.

Try massaging and stretching your hands a few times a day ... it might help keep them from hurting so quickly well doing what you love.
Reply:Clover makes hooks with ergonomic handles which are wide and have a thumb rest. They look something like rug hooks. However, it sounds as though you may have some technique problems that have let to a repetitive stress injury like carpal tunnel. It could be that you are holding your hooks in a death grip or working too long at a stretch. You may want to try wearing a wrist splint at night, or something like Hand-Eze (R) gloves which are made out of lycra. I find that these help me when I knit too long at a stretch or spend too much time on the computer.





Yes, you'll feel a repetitive stress injury just below the thumb, it's in the tendons of the muscles that help control your thumb and the nerves coming through the bones of your wrists. If this is as serious a problem as you are making this sound, then you really need to see your doctor. Hand-Eze gloves may help ease the pain, as will ergonomic hooks, and wearing a wrist splint at night, but you can surely be developing arthritis and CTS that will require surgery.
Reply:I use hand-eze goves and you wouldn't believe how well they work. You might need ibuprofen at first along with the gloves. They sell the gloves in drugstores.





I had weakness along with the pain, and it turned out I had carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by folding my wrists over while I sleep. A wrist brace, also available at the drugstore, worn at night, stops me from bending my wrist while I sleep and made the pain go away in a few weeks.


.


.
Reply:Carpal tunnel syndrome is nothing to play around with!


Once it gets established, it may never go away (even with surgery).





If that's what you have (and it's fairly common), you should read up on it. Then try the things recommended (braces, special gloves, larger handles, exercises), but most importantly DON'T do the motions which accompany the pain for long stretches of time... this is not something you can just get through by ignoring the pain, and you may need a period of rest and inactivity for those motions to heal.


If those things don't work though, you really should see a doctor and possibly a specialist, to see what your options are and make sure you've tried all the simpler things you can.





It's possible that's not what you have, but as I said repetitive strain injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome are common problems for those who do things involving a lot of identical "repetitive motions".

Reply:Have you tried the arthritis gloves? They are supposed to help. Look on the notions counters of fabric stores for these. They cover mostly just the hands. My husband has a pair to wear for his fine leather carving and other things.
Reply:i think that your problem is probably how you hold the hook, especially since the pain starts right away, and not after a while. This means that it is not from your hands getting tired. Try the ergonomic crochet hook. It is nice because the actual hook interchangeable so it has a bunch of sizes.

You could also try wooden hooks. They are actually more forgiving than plastic hooks and recommended for people with arthritis. Susan Bates is not the best quality.

You hook the bridle and the reins to the hooks. The idea is for it to act with leverage. You go a little looser (maybe one or two wrinkles) to allow for this leverage affect.

How can I get used to bras with much support and 4 hooks in the back?

I'm 13 and a C cup thoug I'm thin. Mom makes me wear bras like this at http://www.anita.com/de/en/0,1,104,1478,... for support. I dont like, but love her and obey. They make me sweat when it's hot and arent easy to put on, because of their 4 hooks. But my Dr told us those bras are very good for my health, so I'm really stuck.

How can I get used to bras with much support and 4 hooks in the back?
It'll take some time for you to get used to them (maybe several weeks to a few months) but they are very good for you. The support causes you to not hurt your lower back and seeing that you are thin you may have some lower back pain despite the fact that you have a supportive bra. Also you're probably still growing so you need as much support as possible at this time. Don't worry about it too much, soon you'll be very comfortable with your body and what you wear. :-)
Reply:I hear you honey! I was thin and a D within a year of starting to wear a bra. The support bra's are not pretty but you actually do get used to them. They not only save your back but also helps stop your boobs "bouncing" whenever you move. As you get older you will become more experienced with finding bra's that you like. BTW: If you are embarassed about wearing a "granny bra" when you change at school, I used to keep a more... atrractive...spare bra just for the changing times. I'd then change into the granny one in the toilet cubicle. It's a lot of work ( I kept the extra bra secret from my mother) but I understand if you might feel embarassed by your underwear
Reply:All I can suggest is to just wear the bra...alot, it feels weird at first but after you wear it for a while it won't.
Reply:I use to wear those bras when i was your age,but it was worse when i had to wear the flowery one, where everyone can see bumps on your breast. Your mom and your doctor knows best, at first they are uncomfortable, irritable really, but you get use to them over time, once you get older you can start look for bras that suit your style and can be comfortable and healthy. I can recommend the brand Lily of France they are comfortable bras and very "fashionable".....but stick to your bras for now, your back will thank you, as well as your breasts.
Reply:i think you take your mind off them when you wearin them and do somthing else,you will get use to them.
Reply:Why don't you talk to your mom if these bras are uncomfortable to you. I understand you want to obey her, but it's your body! See if there's a way you two could compromise. There are tons of options, I'm sure you could find one that you both agree on.
Reply:Those type of bras can help you so you wont have back pain in the future listen to mom she will not tell you anything wrong.

Can I anchor a bookshelf to the wall with wire and hooks? It's glass/chrome and I can't use brackets.

I have a couple of 6ft shelves to anchor to a wall. Unfortunately, I can't use the standard "L" brackets and screws. One of the shelves is chrome and glass. Also, the molding at the base of the wall prevents the shelves from being flush with the wall. So I need an alternative. I was thinking wiring the shelves to eye hooks in the wall.

it's like a very fine rubber line but breaks easily so you don't need scissors. wrap it around the bait and hook and because it stretches it will hold it in place. i use it on salmon and steehead roe as well as ghost shrimp. it takes netting right out of the equation.


good luck and have a blast!
Reply:try the mustad liver or double livebait hook in several sizes!


the liver hook has the pin!
Reply:the cheapest and easiest way is to go to walmart and buy a spool of sewing thread(red in color).


i use a plain catfish hook,no trebbles.


anyway put the liver on the hook and wrap about 6-10" of string around the liver.not to tight because it will cut the liver.





this works for me...........





good luck
Reply:We don't really have much catfish where I'm from, but my dad has this trick for keeping soft bait on for trout. You take your treble hook and take the spring from a ball point pen and wrap it around the shaft of the hook. That way you can hold soft baits.
Reply:I like to take sponge cut it into about 3/4 inch pieces and soak them in the liver over night.This works good most of the time and when the liver washes out of the sponge you just tear it off and put new on.I have used liver flavored dog food and it worked pretty good also.Buy the canned food with chunks in it.
Reply:Keep the livers cold helps , or stick with using a treble hook, wrap the liver around the shank of the hook and slide it down over all 3 hook points
Reply:You may want ta' go with a spawn sack set-up with wedding vail material (hardier material than nylons) I use it for drift fishin' Steelhead %26amp; Salmon. Go to your search bar,


"surf" the web for Salmon or Steelhead egg (roe) sacks and am sure you'll find a site that explains how ta' tie them up. Very simple procedure, also material comes in different colors. Ha', I ain't guaranteein' you'll find the color of liver though, just improvise ; ) ... Ya' might also consider tyin' up a bunch of them, puttin' them under ice, so come ready to rig up they be right there...
Reply:First off, start using beef liver rather than chicken livers. Beef liver is much more durable. Also Check these hooks out. I would suggest size 6...........http://www.jrwfishing.com/gang_hooks.asp

I rented a storage TRAILER (back of a semi!)&need ideas how 2 use the HOOKS on the inside walls 4 more storage

There are 7 hooks (kinda like rings) on both sides of the long inside walls I would love 2 know how to use those hooks in an efficient way, to provide MORE storage space. ANY IDEAS?

I rented a storage TRAILER (back of a semi!)%26amp;need ideas how 2 use the HOOKS on the inside walls 4 more storage
Can't visualize the size and location of the rings, but if they are in line w/ each other; could you run pipes (plastic or steel) through the rings to make poles for hanging things( clothes,tools,etc.)?


Using 'T's you could join pipes going across the trailer, if the rings can accept large enough pipes, and they're close together. They can make strong scaffolds for wood shelves crossing the pipes, and supported by them.


You may need to use wire and screw-in hooks in the walls and ceiling to give additional support to the pipes and shelves.
Reply:I agree with answer 1 regarding hanging, even perhaps some Temp. shevling supported for overhead space, but Rented won't allow much.





Certainly too, for less used items, IE: items stored, aesthetics is unlikely to matter. You could use cargo net as Hammocks above, just to put items in.





7 being an uneven number, but assuming they are mated, would allow you 14 contact points. I'd certainly place all VERY un-needed items to the front of the box, then perhaps hang encased clothing, then perhaps pipe and plank over the pipes for that upper level suggested.

Where can i find a size chart for 'Milward' fine crochet hooks - steel?

Inherited nan's crochet set she only ever used cotton these hooks are so fine I need a size chart

Where can i find a size chart for 'Milward' fine crochet hooks - steel?
Your Nan was a lady after my own heart. I love the Milward needles they just seem to fit perfectly in my hand. Not sure what you mean by size chart but here is my tidbit. 00,0,1,2,3,4 you can use for very fine baby yarns. 5,6,7.8.9 use for size 10 cotton (commonly called bedspread cotton), 10, 11, 12 use for size 30 thread. 13,14, 15, 16 use with tattting cottons #60 or #80. The smallest thread I have used is #80 tatting with a 14 needle. I have some 15's %26amp; 16's but frankly I can't see the hook well enough to use them. There is also a 120 thread that is used for bobbin lace which is extremely fine and though tempted to try it again I have the same problem focusing on the thread. Good luck with Nan's needles. Think wonderful thoughts each time you use them.

1985 toyota vaccum advance unit with two ports. all smog stuff is gone which one hooks to the carb.?

i have a weber carb with one port for the vaccum advance. but my vaccum advance unit on the distribitor has two ports. which one hooks to carb. and do i plug the other port or hook it to the intake so it has vaccum.

1985 toyota vaccum advance unit with two ports. all smog stuff is gone which one hooks to the carb.?
You will need a manual vacumm hand pump to test wich one of the 2 ports on your distributor is the advance and wich one is the retard.





Please be very carefull when doing the proposed procedure on your car. Always apply the hand brake and make sure your car won't move. If your car is STD then put it on Neutral. If your car is Automatic Trans. type leave it on Parking. Safety first !!!





Start your car and let it idle by 5 mins or so.





Then attacht the vaccum pump to one port and apply some vaccum. If your car accelerates thats the advance. If by the opposite it seems to slow or even stall, thats the retard.





Connect the advance port to the carburator vaccum advance.





You can leve the other one open of cover it with any rubber just to prevent dirt.
Reply:The other port you can cap it off.





I don't recommend to connect it to the intake unless you know exactly what you are doing.





You can give it too much advance, or you can apply a vaccum to a retard port neutralizing the advance.





So your best bet is cap it off. Report It

Reply:What pedro said, but you can just use the vacuum coming off the hose from the carb.

Are you suppose to remove your top retainer by pulling down the front hooks of the wire or the back hooks?

is it bad if i remove my retainer by pulling the down the front wire's hooks?

Are you suppose to remove your top retainer by pulling down the front hooks of the wire or the back hooks?
You should reach back along both sides with your thumb and forefinger, grasp the sides (front and back) and pull straight down.


Otherwise, you bend it and then the orthodontist has a fit when you go back for a checkup and adjustment. Also, once it's bent, it doesn't fit right anymore and either you have to wear it like that until the next visit or schedule a special visit at extra cost to the parents.
Reply:My orthodontist told me to pull on the hooks, but I found that a little hard to do, so I just use my tongue to push it out. Doesnt affect the structure of the retainer in any way. I place my tongue directly on the plastic part, and pull my tongue straight down. Your saliva creates an airtight seal between your tongue and retainer, so the vacuum pulls it off your teeth.

Why Does The End Of My Hair Look Like Fishing Hooks?

the very tip of my hair (some not all) looks curls up and looks like fishing hooks! or the letter J and its freaky! and it freaks me out knowing that my hair is like that. what causes it, what can i do to prevent it, do i need to cut my hair. my hair is long down to my shoulders and i havent cut it in 2 years.

Why Does The End Of My Hair Look Like Fishing Hooks?

When you set the hook and reel, you hold the wii remote up like the rod.

How can I find the value of vintage knitting needles and crochet hooks? Anyone know of Bucilla needles?
Bucilla (the company) is no longer in business. They were bought out by Plaid Corp. Try their website. (apparently they no longer carry hooks and needles) http://www.plaidonline.com/home.asp


You can also take your needles in to a good yarn shop and someone may know if they're worth anything. Or try e-bay and see if you can find similar ones and see what they are selling for.





But since there are a lot of hooks and needles available I don't think they are worth as much in monetary value as they are in sentimental value.
Reply:I have to say that everyone's old granny has them tucked away somewhere. I have been to many fairs and events where they sit looking miserable as people pass them by, unless: they are hallmarked silver, old ivory, and fancy designs in pewter/bronze and so on, and even then it will be a small number of specialist collectors. Sorry, I haven't heard of Bucilla needles.

Does nas have a weakness with his beats and hooks?
First and foremost, as long as people are unique and have opinions, there will never be a decided GOAT.





Anyway, to answer your question, yes. I don't think he's always had a good ear for beats. "Ether" for example; that song might as well have been an A Capella. Most of "Hip-Hop is Dead" had wack instrumentals as well. Personally, if the song doesn't sound good musically, then I don't care about how well constructed the verses are, I'm not listening to the song. Like I said, it might as well have been an A Capella...





As far as hooks go, I'm not sure. I can't really give any insight on that cuz I never really paid much attention to them. Could you give some examples???
Reply:him not be #1 is just your opinion





Tupac didnt have the best beats yet 75% of people on here consider him the GOAT

i do agree with you, Nas doesnt have great beat selection but i think overall skills %26amp; lyricism %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; beats %26amp; hooks
Reply:No, actually, some of his hooks are pretty meaningful. And really, he is a good enough rapper to take a bad beat and bring life to it ("Blunt Ashes", anyone?). Plus, his beats do not reflect his skills as an MC in general, that's the DJs fault.





Oh, and "Escobar" is one guy. He just keeps getting suspended and making the same name again.

A knot to connect 130pound monofilament to 12/0 hooks?
When using 130 pound mono, it's better to crimp it. Go to your local tackle shop and tell them you need crimps and a crimping tool for the size line you use. Make sure they show you how to use it or the crimps may slip or cut your line.
Reply:You can use a double San Diego Knot...The only problem is that the knot is hard to pull taught because the mono is so thick. With 130 its usually crimped.

How can I hang my mountain bike from my garage ceiling with hooks?

Every time I try to install the hooks, they strip right out of the ceiling. I am trying to find some type of ceiling stud to screw into, but since I have to mount two hooks for each bike (I am trying to mount two bikes), I am unsure how to do this. Please let me know if you have experienced this and found a solution. I greatly appreciate the help.

How can I hang my mountain bike from my garage ceiling with hooks?
Well it sounds like you are putting the hooks into a drywall ceiling, am i right? if so there are multiple things to secure things in drywall at any hardware store, anchors and such. now depending on the thickness of the drywall, this also may not work, then you need to get yourself a stud finder, find either the floor joists or ceiling rafters, depending on what is above your garage, find them. Then get a 2x4 one should be more than enough, so you can cut it in half or to length of each outside edge of your joist and screw those 2 pieces how ever far apart into the joist. then put your hooks into the 2x4. hope i explained that enough that you get what I'm saying and that it helps.
Reply:You have to screw the hooks into the ceiling beams, not just the drywall. Get a stud finder and hang them correctly.
Reply:I've never tried that. But if you can't find the solution, why not asking a professional help. I don't think that will cost a lot.





Good luck with it!
Reply:If you don't have a studfinder, buy one. They are super handy and great when hanging heavy things on your wall too. They are money well spent and some of them now have a laser level included with them.


I tried to find studs in my garage by tapping and it really didn't work out too well. Good luck.
Reply:Its not hard, you are right you just have to find a stud. Typically they are 16 inches apart. If you can get up in the attic you can confirm this. Find one stud and you just measure from the others.





You can find a stud finder at HomeDepot type stores or Walmart. But as you have learned you have to find a stud. The devices are cheap and easy to use.

UPVC Windows - the plastic frame... how to screw in hooks? anything special needed?

can i use plugs or can i just screw in a screw. lolz.





or is there a better and safer way of screwing in hooks for the net curtains on the PVC window frames?





please help!

UPVC Windows - the plastic frame... how to screw in hooks? anything special needed?
No problem, simply drill the smallest hole needed (1mm) as you are only drilling through 3mm thick PVC into the hollow frame, then screw in the hooks for your net wire or rod. You can buy 'stick on' hooks for net rods, but in hot weather the glue can become soft and they fall off quite regularly. So screwing in hooks are better and permanent.
Reply:the way I did it was to make a small hole with a nail, then screw the hooks in, they hold ok, or you can get stick on one's
Reply:DO NOT drill or screw into a vinyl window!!!! Any screws or fasteners that penetrate the vinyl will eventually work loose or break out if bearing any weight. You also stand the chance of damaging the mechanisims that aid in raising the sashs. Might I suggest attaching the curtains to the opening. You`ll probably find this a much more solid and stable base for attachment.
Reply:One way of fixing nets without damaging the frame is to use velcro. Stick self adhesive velcro tape to the frame and sew velcro tape to the nets. If you don't want to use tape, you can buy squares, dots and other shapes.
Reply:you can get plastic hooks which you simply just stick on your window frame.it's better than drilling holes into the plastic frames.
Reply:No its fine to just screw straight in.The only down side is that you will leave permanant holes that will need filling if you choose to get rid of the net curtains.
Reply:Just screw them straight into the frame, The frame is hollow theres no need for a wrawl plug, I would advise using adhesive hooks though.
Reply:I normally make a 1/16th pilot hole in the frame with a drill, then screw the hooks straight in. The frames are sometimes pvc-skinned steel. :)

Looking for a 55gal portable filtration unit forswimming pool. Hooks up to 150gpm pump, 2" suction and dischge

This filter uses regular pool cleaning 2" hoses and hooks up to the pole and vacuum head. You use a gas or electric pump along with this 55 gal drum looking thing.

The tiles have a slightly raised pattern so they are not smooth. The self-adhesive hooks I've tried won't work and neither will superglue.

What's the best glue to stick plastic hooks to ceramic tiles.?
I agree with the silicone. make sure the tile is clean before applying. I like to use denatured alcohol as it cleans and dries quickly. Tape the hooks to the wall while the silicone cures. This insures a good bond and will keep them in place while the silicone drys. Clean up any squish out while it is wet.

makeup tips

Aren't those tasers that they shoot at you with thise hooks inhumane and should not be allowed?

not normal tasers, those i don't love but fine.





you know those tasers but they shoot at you with hooks with wires attached to them. it literally hooks into your body and now the user gets to shock the guy at will with electricity.





this seems so wrong. i can't believe that it was even allowed in the first place. what do you think?

Aren't those tasers that they shoot at you with thise hooks inhumane and should not be allowed?
The "hooks" are a quarter of an inch long and straight. They barely go into the skin. The barbs are needed because they are connected to wires that lead back to the Taser. The wire conducts the electrical shock from the Taser to the target's body. The wire is 16 to 21 feet long (depending on which cartridge you carry) and make it possible to use the Taser to subdue a suspect from a safe distance. Without the barbs and the wire the Taser would not be a distance weapon which is part of it appeal to law enforcement.





Agencies that have began to carry the Taser have actually reported a decrease in injuries to suspects and officers. This is because even though the shock delivered by a Taser is unpleasant it allows the officers to take someone into custody quickly and without much of a struggle. This means that their is not much of a fight and less chance of someone getting hurt.





I have been Tasered six or seven times now and used my Taser in the field to take a resisting suspect into custody. I am still very much alive and none of my resisting suspects suffered any real injuries.

Reply:The hooks used are straightened #4 fish hooks that are less than a half inch in length. In regards to potential injury, getting hit with a baton would cause substantially more damage, like bruising or broken bones. Pepper Spray has a lasting effect of about 45 minutes.......The pain caused by a TASER stops immediately once the exposure is terminated. The injury from the hooks equates to a bee sting........so no.......I do not think that the TASERs are wrong.....





The only reason that I would think that using the TASER is wrong is by the officer who has become "TASER dependent" and is always reluctant to go "hands on".............
Reply:Would you rather get shot with bullets?
Reply:I think you're very naive. You should try wearing a cop suit and jump in the middle of a situation requiring that level of force. Then you will have your answer.
Reply:Being shot with a taser is very uncomfortable, but it lasts 5 seconds and is over, with a substantial reduction in injuries. As far as the barbs, they are tiny, and I never had anyone complain. They barely penetrate the skin.





Statistically, if a suspect and officer are in a physical struggle, 55% of the time the suspect is injured, and 45% of the time the officer is injured. With a baton, there is a better than 80% chance the suspect will be injured.





With the taser, the suspect is only injured 2% of the time, and the officer is not injured. These injuries are rarely from the taser itself, they are from the fall.





They are not perfect, but they are the best tool I've seen since I began this job in 1991.
Reply:How much electricity goes through them, cuz there are a lot of dangers with electricity. Sure it may not harm most people, or show up just by looking but they are there. People with weak hearts are at danger, electric shock can cause paralysis and scar nervous tissues, not to mention the convulsions can hurt you. Also it gives cops a false sense of safety in the fact that they think they can use it with no risks. Which means they are more likely to use a taser in a situation that doesn't require force. I can't wait until somebody dies from a taser, then they'll have to rethink this.
Reply:OK, lets just stop fighting crime altogether. Did you know that the only place in this country that you are guaranteed medical treatment, food, and shelter even if you are broke is in a state county or federal jail/prison. Law enforcement does not stop on the door step to the jail, it goes on even more inside. The average person has an image in their Head about jail/prison and they don't want to ever go to those places but the people that go there on a regular schedule know that it ain't half bad. I know that this is a little (a lot) off topic but I get so mad when the people that break the laws are the ones getting the better treatment. Ohio just got sued for the menu in state prisons and now has to change it and that will eventually work its way into county jails and that means that the food will cost more and that means more tax money on criminals.
Reply:The "hooks" you describe are just slight curves at the end of the probes that ensure that the probes attach to the skin and or clothing of the subject. They don't dig in or penetrate the outer skin layer.





I can't say anything more that what has already been said by other Officers on this post about the Taser. It's an effective tool for gaining compliance from an uncooperative subject. The alternatives are much more painful and cause a hell of a lot more damage.
Reply:Its safer for the person than being shot at or hit with an asp or batton!!! It safer for the officer than pepper spray because it always works!!!! If u get it used on u in the first place its because u did something wrong and u deserve it!!! Y should we treat criminals so well when they would do much worse things to a cop than a taser could ever possibly do to them!!! Like kill them or knock them over the head u know do things that actually cause damage to the body!!! Most of the time after the tasering is over there is no difference in the persons body than when they started!!!
Reply:First of all, a taser is a gun that fires the hooks. A stun gun is the "normal taser" I think you are talking about.





Here is the calculus for tasers:





Balancing the officer's need for something other than a regular gun v. not having the officer be trigger happy with their taser when they could use other methods (spray, physical restraint, etc.).





You figure out how to balance that properly, let me know . . .
Reply:Here's a cut and paste I use to answer these taser questions.





As a matter of fact, just to please all the taser haters here on Y!A, I've stopped carrying my taser.





Now, when I'm faced with a lot of those scenarios where I would have deployed my taser, I'll be using my baton and causing injury, possibly permanent injury, not just pain.





For the very few instances when my taser could have saved my life, and theirs, I'll be using 230 grain .45 caliber bullets at 985 FPS to do my defending.





Better than a 5 second taser hit?
Reply:During my last year of patrol, before I went into administration, I was in a brutal fight with a perp. I used pepper spray on him but it did not faze him. I literately had to beat the man into the ground with my Asp Baton. I wound up with a split lip, loose teeth, a gash on my head that required stitches, bruises and contusions, and I was off work for two days. My perp had a broken hand, three fractured ribs, a fractured shin, cuts, bruises, and contusions. He spent a couple night in the hospital and two years in prison.





All of that, Nickle, could have been avoided with a single shot from a Tazer. Neither of us would have been hurt. He probably would not have gone to prison. I bet if you could ask him now, if he could re-live the incident, for a choice between the beating and jail time or a jolt from the Tazer. He'd beg for that Tazer.
Reply:A taser gun does shoot 2 small darts that are attached to fine wires. These darts and wires carry the electrical charge to the body of the person shot with it. The idea is that the operator of the taser gun is able to control the person from a safe distant. Now it might seem that this is an inhumane device but when you consider that the use of more force could result in the major injury or possible death of someone, then this device might be the lesser of 2 evils. The taser can be misused just as any tool can. I hope that you never have to be on the receiving end of one. Have a happy holiday season.
Reply:I guess bullets that kill should be outlawed too.





I guess batons that can break bones should be outlawed too.





I guess OC Spray, who effects last for hours, should be outlawed too.





Or you should quit your whining and don't do anything that could get you tased? Hell that sounds like a novel idea.
Reply:You are so correct. I think that we should go back to ore broken bones and battered skull caps. I love the baton. We need more beatings. The short 1/2 barbs are so mean. Let's swing a steal rod like a baseball bat at arms and legs. Let's not have a laser to help guide the projectile. Let's risk damaging knees, elbows, and heads. I'm all for it. Then when some chicken sh*t lawyer gets a guy off on a technicality he will still remember what he did... Now, is this what you really want or do you think that the Taser probes going in 1/2 inch and causing minor irritation is a little better than the alternative?
Reply:ok,, i understand the thought you may have on the hooks,, but let me tell you,,, they dont hurt, it is like getting a little pinch...





would you rather be shot by a bullet,,, or a taser? bullets are permanent, taser is temporary





also if you have on heavy clothing,, the taser wont penetrate,,, oh but a bullet will





now you said the tasers with out hooks... I am not getting close to some idiot who is acting a fool, when I can tase him from a distance...





put yourself in the officers shoes... could you kill someone, or would you rather tase them.... remember once you kill someone, you have to live with that the rest of your life.
Reply:It is better than being shot, that's for sure. Right there, and right then, you will gain nothing by confrontational behavior with a police officer. Things can only go downhill for you. There will be a time before a judge when you can present your side of the story. Those tasers, all kinds, are not pleasant, avoid them if at all possible.
Reply:nope..dont do anything wrong and it doesnt even apply to you..

How to belly band pants with trouser hooks?

I have a ton of dress pants that I wear to work with trouser hooks or the slide-in fasteners and I'm outgrowing all of them. Has anyone found a way to belly band them? I'm not big enough for maternity clothes, but want to be comfortable.

How to belly band pants with trouser hooks?
the belly band is a tube of fabric... i use them ALL the time now. All my work pants have that some hook closure, what i do is zip them up as much as i can, then fold the top- flaps inward, then pull the belly band all the way down to cover the open part! I was skeptical that it would keep my pants up all day- but they TOTALLY do!





good luck!

For a pine tree, what type of hooks, nails, screws can I use??

For a pine tree, what type of hooks, nails, screws can I use to insert into pine tree without damaging it?? Is there a type of metal I need to use? I want to put up clothes line and bird feeder attached to pines but don’t want to harm. Thanks!

For a pine tree, what type of hooks, nails, screws can I use??
Pine trees have a natural defense. They encase any foreign object in pitch if it is harming the tree.





You can really screw or nail just about anything you want into a pine tree without damaging it.





The main thing to remember is the way a tree grows. It adds a lay each year and if you have a screw, eye bolt or nail in the side of the tree eventually the item will be covered by the trees growth.





It is a good idea to have something that can be removed and put in a different place as the tree grows.





We have at least 25 to 30 pines on our lot and we haven't lost one yet to nails or screws in the side of the tree.
Reply:why would you want to hang clothes under a sappy old pine tree...not a good idea...
Reply:For the clothes line, I'd put an eye bolt through the tree, with washers and an adjustable nut so the bolt length can be increased as the tree grows.





You do not want anything girdling around the tree trunk, so just looping the clothesline around the trees is not a good solution for more than a weekend or so. Prolonged girdling loads will crush the phloem under the bark and cause major long term damage.





Birdfeeders are probably best attached to a branch well away from the clothesline. Those can simply be hung from a rope, or you can use a nut and bolt arrangement or just a good sized eye screw.
Reply:Any screw you put into the tree will affect it. The tree will grow around it. Pines are soft and grow fast. They also put out a lot of pollen. Why not get an in-ground system. Then you don't have to worry about the bird's doing their business while going to the feeder you want in the area too. Good luck!
Reply:I recommend using a strap around a branch rather than a screw into the tree (this would work for the bird feeder).





For the clothes line, use stainless steel. If you want to be safe, sterilize the screw in boiling water before inserting.
Reply:Bark is like skin, you put a hole in bark, it is like scratching your skin. Does it hurt the tree -yes. Will it kill the tree, not unless you make a lot of holes etc.





The best type to use for you would be galvanized, they don't rust then. You want them to be as small as you need to hold properly.





Use some common sense. Don't use a railroad spike to hold a bird feeder. Screws hold better than nails when subjected to horizontal pressure (pull out) for a clothes line for example. Nails are stronger than screws for vertical pressure (hanging off of or down from) for a bird feeder for example.

Mesh and suction cup divider. what can i cover the hooks with?

I am making a divider using plastic mesh and suction cups with the metal hooks.





what would be good to cover the end of the hooks with? they are not incredibly sharp, but i still feel like they would do some damage to betta fins/body when he rubs against it.

Mesh and suction cup divider. what can i cover the hooks with?
Use some silicon made for repairing fish tanks and tank ornaments. Cover all the metal well so it doesn't corrode (rust) as quickly being in water.





There also suction cups that are all plastic used to secure air tubing that you can find in pet stores. You might have to figure out how to attach it to the mesh and tank so there's no place for fish to sneak around the sides, but with this, you wouldn't have to worry about the metal at all: http://www.pets-warehouse.com/Vpasp/shop...
Reply:Drinking straws? You can buy a rubber product for tool handles but I don't know if it would be toxic to the fish. What about using long rods of plastic coated clothes hangers woven in and out of the mesh, then bend the top over the edge of the fish tank to hold the mesh in place? Or, you can go with your plan and buy little white plastic tips at the hardware store that would fit over the metal hook; these are used as little feety thingies or on the ends of men's tie hangers.

When knitting, what does it do when you use thicker hooks/ needles??..?

Right now I am using a size 10 hook, but what does it do to your "creation" if you use the super thick hooks.. or needles??

When knitting, what does it do when you use thicker hooks/ needles??..?
it gives you a looser tension.
Reply:When you use larger needles than recomended you get a knit/crocheted fabric with a loose drap and sort of a lacey look. I find that when using larger needles for example - I use 15's when 8's are recomended. it makes my work go alot faster, and way more flexible. You want to keep in mind that when you use a larger size when working from a pattern (when gauge is important) you'll want to adjust the number of stitches and rows so your end result is about the same size as the one from your pattern. You also need to keep in mind what kind of knitter you are; do you knit loosely? or do you knit tight? You can easily find out by knitting up a swatch of your yarn with the needle size recomended on the yarn label. If your swatch is smaller you knit tight and want to use a larger needle, if your swatch is larger than you knit loose and will want to use a smaller needle. I hope this helps.
Reply:it will not be as "tight".
Reply:It makes the thread farther apart, so there are more gaps and holes. If you want the knots to be tighter, then a smaller hook would be better.
Reply:Along with what everyone else has said, you can often counteract the bigger holes with a larger, bulkier yarn. Recently Lion Brand Yarn has been coming up with LOTS of bulky-yarn patterns, for size 50 needles (!), and I'm not sure what the crochet hook equivalent is called, but they do have one. In fact, when you start hitting the bulkier yarns, it's much better to size up your needles accordingly.





A word of advice: For anything above a size ten, I'd recommend wood, plastic, or bamboo needles...aluminum gets very hard on the hands at those sizes.

How can I find a washer that hooks up to sink faucet? (also a dryer that can be routed out window?) thanks!?

I need something small for apartment use, but that hooks up to faucet because I don't have washer and dryer hookups. Does anyone know where I can find an attachment?

There are plenty at Sears, Home Deopt, and Lowe's. They don't work very well though.

Zinc or stainless steel won't rust and hurt the tree.
Reply:be more concerned with the sap that is going to come out of a pine. you dont want your clothes getting sap on them, because its all but imposible to get out.
Reply:stainless steel eye hooks you can screw into the tree.
Reply:You aren't going to hurt the tree with a couple of screws.





I would use a stainless steel screw because it's going to be exposed to the elements. That's what you use for decks, so you know that it will stand the test of time.
Reply:Why put anything into the tree? Take a longer rope and tie it all around the tree at the height you want and then remove it once a year. That way the rope will not have the tree grow around it, if you use a piece of rubber hose over the rope around the tree, it will not damage the tree but will let the tree grow. If you must have something driven in to the tree, a wood dowel will do the least amount of damage, use a dowel of the same specie as the tree and it will be absorbed eventually, with little or no damage to the tree.

As for the conections don't worry they are all the same.
Reply:You need to know what type of connectors it has.


Any place which sells music equipment would have them.


You can also try electronics or audio sections of big stores.


Radio Shack will have the plugs %26amp; wires to make one up;


if you know someone who can do it for you.
