A tool that helps building a ‘trailway’ on a slope: San Angelo bar. You mark where the cut ‘in’ on the slope will be for the trailway and you drive the tip (spade or pointed) in at that point and then pull the top end of the bar towards the down slope. Watch your toes, the bar is heavy. Drive the tip of the bar in by lifting the bar (2 to 3 feet) with the tip down and then dropping the bar (tip end down), even help gravity by driving it down instead of just letting gravity do the work.

The San Angelo bar is also useful if you need to remove cactus, particularly yuccas. It is also useful when trying to dig in compacted or rocky soil.

I used to do trail maintenance in Los Padres and San Gabriels. The San Angelo bar was my favorite ‘weapon’. Good for moving rocks too.

I wouldn’t use the bag of cement method. You end up wasting a lot of cement. You only need just under 2″ thick and a bag of cement is much thicker. The other problem is that it will be hard to get the entire contents of the bag wet. Odds will be that it will harden with the center still ‘powder’.

You can use cinderbrick for the ‘retaining wall’. Fill the holes with dirt and put plants in them (holes upwards). You can also use cinderbrick for the steps by putting them sideways (holes horizontal) or oriented normally.

Another trick would be to get all of the loose rock that you don’t want and to press/work them into the loose soil of the trailway after you cut it into the slope (don’t use the smooth surface rock though because it would be slippery if moist)

Another option for retaining wall is interlocking brick (some places mix this up with pavers, but it is for vertical walls).

[quote=sdduuuude]Another way is to get in touch with someone taking out their driveway. Jackhammer or sawcut the pieces into 1′ x 2′ pieces and stack them (with or without mortar on top of a poured footing. They benefit because taking the demolished driveway to the dump is very expensive.

It is a popular Clairemont canyon solution.[/quote]
I have seen some of these and they work pretty well.

Another solution is using the spare concrete test cylinders that civil engineers have to produce on concrete pours. The cylinders are used to verify concrete strength after hardening and some civil engineering facilities end up with a lot of spare ones.

[quote=captcha]As you are leaving a bar where you had a few too many a guy with a gun in his hand approaches you and asks for your wallet. You saw French Connection and you like Gene Hackman, so you carry a gun attached to your ankle. What do you do?

I think easy access to guns makes us *feel* safer. In reality, it makes it easier for crazy people to shoot at congress people in Tuscon or kids around Carlsbad schools.[/quote]
Strawman Argument. You don’t get to tell me where I have my CCW. The process is simple.. Reach around the back, one hand going for the wallet and the other going for the hilt of the gun. Tell the gunman you don’t want trouble and that you are getting your wallet to give to him. Take your wallet and throw to him a little off (high or low). As he goes for the wallet(he will be concentrating on the wallet, particularly if it is thrown towards his face), pull your weapon from around your back and fire at him. You want to pull your weapon about 1/2 to 1 second after you throw your wallet to him. You want him looking at the wallet.

[quote pri_dk]Apparently some folks missed a few points when they watched Schindler’s List.

Schindler owned the factory.

So much for Nazi socialism.[/quote]
Yep, you missed a few points. Schindler was a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party.. and he was sponsored in acquiring that factory by Nazis. He was an ‘inside’ man, or in the terms of the mafia.. a made man.

You are making the assumption that the socialization ‘process’ of taking possession of companies was applied equitably. You also missed or ignored the statement:

Though normally described as being on the far right, there is a scholarly consensus that fascism was also influenced by the left, but with a focus on solutions from the right.

Adolf Hitler, both in public and in private, held strong disdain for capitalism; he accused modern capitalism of holding nations ransom in the interests of a parasitic cosmopolitan rentier class.
