Greece, 1940. Not sunny vacation Greece: northern Greece, Macedonian Greece, Balkan Greece, the city of Salonika. In that ancient port, with its wharves and warehouses, dark lanes and Turkish mansions, brothels and tavernas, a tense political drama is being played out. On the northern border, the Greek army has blocked Mussolini's invasion, pushing his divisions back to Albania, the first defeat suffered by the Nazis, who have conquered most of Europe. But Adolf Hitler cannot tolerate such freedom; the invasion is coming; its only a matter of time, and the people of Salonika can only watch and wait.
At the center of this drama is Costa Zannis, a senior police official, head of an office that handles special political cases. As war approaches, the spies begin to circle, from the Turkish legation to the German secret service. There's a British travel writer, a Bulgarian undertaker, and more.
Costa Zannis must deal with them all. And he is soon in the game, securing an escape route from Berlin to Salonika, and then to a tenuous safety in Turkey, a route protected by German lawyers, Balkan detectives, and Hungarian gangsters. And hunted by the Gestapo.
Meanwhile, as war threatens, the erotic life of the city grows passionate. For Zannis, that means a British expatriate who owns the local ballet academy, a woman from the dark side of Salonika society, and the wife of a local shipping magnate.
Declared an incomparable expert at his game by The New York Times, Alan Furst outdoes even his own finest novels in this thrilling new book. With extraordinary authenticity, a superb cast of characters, and heart-stopping tension as it moves from Salonika to Paris to Berlin and back, Spies of the Balkans is a stunning novel about a man who risks everything to right - in many small ways - the world's evil.

"historical insights, not much suspense/tension"
I'm familiar with The Polish Officer and Dark Star and I was incredibly disappointed with this book. Admittedly, I am interested in spy/espionage/thrillers with tension and suspense driving the characters. This book seemed mired in historical details piled upon details, most of which led nowhere, dramatically speaking, but more a statement by the author about his take on events past. A comparison, though perhaps not a perfect one, would be a very knowledgable history teacher telling a story set in the past in another locale, only to abandon storytelling frequently and elaborate on historical events at that time and place.
Perfunctory bits about the protagonist recalling women brushing up against him, musing about their name, sketching a past event with them, never had me engaged in relationships with them, therefore no sense of loss when things didn't work out, when they were left behind and lost.
Long sections attempting by the author to get into the heart of darkness of a man at odds with his environs and associates, felt like verbal angst from the author, not from character actions and resulting reactions. There were so many characters that in depth exploration was usually a stated opinion of the first person speaker, not displayed by characters Events were introduced in a way that built predictability of their outcome, drained suspense from one section to the next.
It was an effort to stay with this reading until the end, though the reader's character interpretations were captivating in tone at times. I'm not sure of the primary interest of readers who praise it but it's not a book I recommend for hounds of spy, thriller, espionage stories against international and historical backdrops..
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"A sweet Kataïfi of a novel"
I loved 'Spies of the Balkans' (Night Soldiers #11). It wasn't Furst's best in the series, but it was a sweet Kataïfi of a novel. Emotionally this was a novel that fed me. Furst highlights the little things people do with just a little nudge to make a dark world just a bit better. 'Spies of the Balkans' is about the sacrifices people made during fascism's push into Southern Europe.
The novel centers around Costa Zannis, a senior police official in Salonika, who sometimes finds his talents needed by both the Jews seeking to escape Germany and British spy networks. It is a novel that drips with the hidden goodness of those amazing men and women who refused to let dark circumstances dictate their character.
Daniel Gerroll does an excellent job of narrating Spies of the Balkans. He has narrated the last three (Spies of Warsaw, Spies of Balkans, Mission to Paris) and has done a great job with Furst. It is kinda like James Bond. I love the classic Furst narrator (Guidall narrated Night Solders # 1 - 8), but have also really enjoyed Gerroll.
"not quite..."
i bought this book on an audible promotion - it was on discount and i was out out of units. i read it just after finishing dragon tattoo, and spies of the balkans did not compare well. the narrator was overly laconic or low affect, and the story, while interesting, was not gripping. i had to listen and re-listen numerous times because it did not hold my attention. the listening stretched longer than most books, and i finally got my new credits about the time my listening to this book came to an end. i found one of the new jack reacher novels and could not put it down. this did not measure up well either to girl with the dragon tattoo or jack reacher. sigh.
"An interesting history lesson"
but not a great spy/suspense novel. I very much enjoyed the historical detail and the information about Greece and the Balkans at the time that Germany was beginning to threaten and then to attack. Furst got the characterizations right in terms of people's fears, denials, decisions and reactions. However, I think the story was a bit too much all over the lot--getting Jews out of Germany, smuggling downed British aviators, killing Nazis, etc.--so I kept asking myself where the drama and the narrative drive were. Although I did enjoy the main character, I was a bit disappointed by the Hollywood ending, and the tacked on resolution of a dangling sub-plot. The narration was quite good, though, and all-in-all an enjoyable listen.
"Terrific Spy Story for Balkan Enthusiasts"
Furst leads the reader into multi-cultural, multi-ethnic pre-Second World War Thessaloniki (Salonika) with a fascinating spy story. One can almost taste the grilled octopus and retsina wine, and smell the Aegean Sea. The Swastika looms large as the characters face the inevitability of war.
"Inferior story"
This has to be the least engaging and least interesting audiobook I have ever listened to. There really isn't a plot, and the characters are poorly drawn and developed. It was almost a chore to listen to this book all the way through.
"Furst's Worst - Spoiler Alert"
Sadly, this once terrific author has fallen into a formulaic rut. I have read or listened to all of his thrillers set in the WW2 era. The obligatory visit to Bistro Henninger was totally implausible and the major romance was worse than the most obvious chick lit. I mean really, he falls madly, permanently in love with the beautiful, blonde wife of the powerful rich man after only one glance. Plus, it turns out she has been in love with him since she was a school girl of 12. Give me a break. If I want more Alan Furst, I will go back to his earliest books. I gave it 2 stars because the political/thriller aspect of the plot was okay.
"Starts off dull and fades away...."
I am a fan of both the genre this book represents, and Alan Furst (usually), but this book just didn't cut it. After almost 10 hours of listening I was still waiting for the story to get going, when suddenly the book was finished. The reader, Daniel Gerroll, has a voice that is better suited to hypnotherapy than audio books and I found myself wandering off on mental tangents way too often. I understand the need to concentrate hard when listening to audio books, but one shouldn't have to work this hard at staying involved with the plot....
"Can't wait to listen to more Alan Furst"
I enjoyed the story and the way it was told. I think the author captured the human experience of people caught up in world changing events who live them as their daily experience without the drama of thriller novels.
I enjoyed the narration and thought the narrator was an excellent match for the tenor of the story.
"Smart and understated"
A very enjoyable read. The historical backdrop is the real star of this book, and you can't help but become involved in the uncertainty and fear that permeated the months leading up to the occupation of Greece. You get a fantastic sense of the relationships, the dynamics and pasts of Balkan countries and the psychology of their peoples. I enjoyed the narration a great deal - a very unusual reading style that you will learn to appreciate as you absorb the book.

Here's a good summary of the traditional purpose of flags at sea: "The flags used by ships are the heraldry and the traditional language of the sea. For centuries flags were the only form of communication between ships out of hailing distance of one another, and the language of flags was developed to express several different kinds of information."
And this about the ensign and owner's private signal: "[A] ship's colours, like those of a regiment, are the symbols of its honour and identity, and naval history has its share of tales of heroic deeds 'to keep the colours flying.'" -- From Timothy Wilson, Flags at Sea, published by Britain's National Maritime Museum (1986)

|Interesting question John, not sure I know the answer. I'd add that at morning colors there is generally a "formation" of everyone but the off watch, and evening colors consists of just the color guard. I suspect it is more an administrative issue than anything. The navigational day begins at noon but is of no significance to anyone but the mates. There's a trivia thread going here, a couple of pages back, and this would be a good one for it.

Dear John
It is great to have you active on the board as you have an insight that many of us sailor's can only wish to experience.

Making colors
Thanks for the nice words and the forgiving silence from my fellow southerners (I'm 1/4 Kentucky, 1/4 Texas) ). Maybe someone can answer this: Why does a day on a vessel start at 0800? That's when morning colors are made, meaning that the ensign is hoisted. Maybe it has to do with the morning change of watch at sea. (I've also seen 0900 mentioned in the context of winter in northern latitudes.) Evening colors are made at sunset proper. Colors are fun in areas where yacht clubs are bunched tightly. On a calm morning or evening, the repeated blasts of the cannon echo each other for it seems minutes. Talk about starting and ending the day with due ceremony!

Flag etiquette

The modern habit of flying a flag 24x7, lighted at night or not, and just letting it shred in the wind, to me in disrespectful jingoism, not to be confused with flying a flag. If you want it to be there "always" then you paint it on the mast or hull--rather than flying one.
US Flag Code
Sec. 6. - Time and occasions for display
(a) It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.
(c) The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all weather flag is displayed.
The only caveat I would place with this is that people need to be attentive to the flags condition if they are going to fly it this much. Often people put it up and forget about it. The flag should be inspected frequently and repaired or replaced and properly disposed of (VFW is a good place to bring it) of it becomes damaged.

The big no-no in our club is flying the burgee off the port spreader. I want to thank you again for the lecture you did in conjunction with North Sails a couple of years ago in San Francisco. It was very informative and my wife and I enjoyed it very much. Recently, we also saw your videos of the Annapolis Book of Seamanship for the first time. My, how the yachting attire styles have changed over the past 20 (25?) years.
|johnsail- I think everything is a little better when the descriptions ends with, "...while sitting in a bar."
Stars and ??
There's a lesson here: Never write about flags at the end of an exhausting week, or while sitting in a bar, or while standing on a stripe, or whatever.
John Rousmaniere
|I think you might have an issue with both the Jolly Roger and the traditional Stars n' Bars. The Jolly Roger might get you hung from a yardarm somewhere, and the Stars n' Bars was never a flag of the UNITED States of America and thus wouldn't qualify unless you used it as the Captians private burgee.

At the moment I'm out of material. I'm trying to track down a source that is not going to cost an arm and a leg.
Add me to the list when you get more materials. I've decided on my helmet so I will need one for BKBT Jango.
EDIT: The asok I bought was too small for my fat head, so I now have a Cruzer BKBT and will need one for that.
Last edited by Vultana; Jan 29, 2013 at 8:03 AM.
add me to the list aswell for a asok cc jango if/when you get the material for it.

Sorry guy's I'm still on the hunt. The colors either off or they want a small fortune.
Alright tomorrow I should find out if I can get some Jango leather. Thanks for everyone's support over the years.
If you do get some Jango leather I am interested in one.
Yep, I am still in for a Jango BKBT one please.

i recieved a swatch,but it is more blue than i hoping. i will post pics you guys decide.
I have another source sending samples.
I'll sign up for a Black.
Unless the Red you have is dark enough.
Added for a black vinyl, the red was a bright red. What helmet?
Cool, thanks... It's a Bobamaker Jango.
Black leather isn't a possibility?
Last edited by Demagol; Apr 7, 2013 at 2:12 AM.
I just have to find a good deal on it. Possibility=yes.
I would try the light blue.
I'll go for the light blue as well for my Jango Bobamaker Helmet.
Last edited by Praetorian; Apr 10, 2013 at 12:10 PM.
Ya, the lighter blue looks good. Plus once you add a little weathering it will darken it up. I would love one of these for my BKBT please!
I would like to get one for my Jango, please. PM will be sent
LEATHER Black and Jango IS OFFICIALLY ORDERED!
Cool, I will be waiting to hear when you are ready to start.
Will these fit an RS Props Boba helmet (supposed to use the master replica scan that was made into the prototype helmets not the mass release similar to FP)? I know its not screen accurate, but it looks to be more trooping friendly than the BBF one....

Posted by Dan Bieler on the CIOs Blog on February 1, 2013
At the Cisco Live EMEAR 2013 event in London, Cisco brought a new down-to-earth dynamism to the table. The vision for how Cisco is intending to empower its clients in an evermore connected world is becoming clearer. In this blog, Forrester analysts Dan Bieler and Peter O'Neill discuss their take-home messages from the event:
Hosted Collaboration Solution is empowering its high-end channel partners.
Dan. HCS, Cisco's hosted collaboration suite, allows carriers to offer cloud-based as-a-service solutions, comprising unified communications, telepresence, contact centre, as well as a range of communication features under the Jabber brand. In EMEAR, BT, Telefonica, and Vodafone are already selling HCS, primarily aiming it at MNC customers. It remains to be seen whether the HCS pitch is the right one for smaller carriers and SMBs, especially as Cisco remains committed to catering to SMBs.
Peter. They also need to think about being more attractive to the needs of midmarket system integrators and MSPs. That means they must provide different price configurations that are attractive to SMBs. Positioning themselves only to the national telcos is quite restrictive and doesn't match the increasing demand we are seeing for these solutions across the market. But, of course, if they want to compete in the SMB segment, they'll compete with Google and Microsoft and their pricing strategies. The best way to run two pricing strategies is to use two brands.

Tony from North Carolina writes:
I have a question about Microsoft Outlook 2007. I think I inadvertently deleted the pop up that tells me that I forgot to name the subject. How to I restore this function?
Hi Tony,
By default, Microsoft Outlook 2007 does not provide a reminder for missing Subject Lines. However, you can create macro that provides this functionality in Microsoft Outlook 2007. Similar to other macros in Microsoft products, you will create the macro using Visual Basic (VB). I'll provide the code and you'll insert and save the code in the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor. Before you create Macro, you'll need to check the Macro Security settings. Let's do that now.
Check and Enable the Macro Security Settings
Step 1: Launch Microsoft Outlook 2007.
Step 2: Click Tools > Macro > Security, as shown below.
Step 3: Select Warnings for all macros and then click the OK button.
Now, you'll create a macro that reminds you to insert a Subject line before sending the email.
Create and Save the Macro
Step 1: Ensure Microsoft Outlook 2007 is open. On the keyboard, keep the Alt key pressed and then press the F11 key. Alternatively, click the Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor. The Microsoft Visual Basic Editor appears.
Step 2: Expand Project1 in the Project pane.
Step 3: Double-click ThisOutlookSession. The code pane appears.
Step 4: Copy the following code in the code pane.
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strSubject As String
strSubject = Item.Subject
If Len(Trim(strSubject)) = 0 Then
Prompt$ = "You've left the Subject empty. Are you sure you want to send the Mail?"
If MsgBox(Prompt$, vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbMsgBoxSetForeground, "Check for Subject") = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub
Tip: The text in italics is the Warning message. You can customize it.
Step 5: To save this macro, click the Save icon and then close Microsoft Visual Basic Editor.
Step 5: Now, restart Microsoft Outlook 2007. Click the Enable Macros button at the following prompt.
Now test the macro. Restart Microsoft Outlook 2007 and attempt to send an email with a blank subject line. You should get a warning message, as shown below.
That's it!

I was recently asked about my gauntlets, so I thought I'd submit my notes.
I ordered a pair of ESB Gauntletts for my son, ignorant of other sources, from Bloodsport studios (and I use the term 'studio' loosely). Here's my conclusions after being older and wiser:
1. Be ready to sand and use a dremel tool. They are
very rough and have lots of excess resin and microbubbles. This includes the thickness of the gauntlets which varies from minor holes to overly thick. This
also makes them heavy. I had to cover a couple of holes with furniture putty that worked well.
2. Getting the two halves to match up is a challenge.
There's a variance in the widths and it can be overcome, but jeez. Also, you'll be trimming the ends, one gauntlet had to have an inch sawed off. The lengthwise areas of the gauntlets were at off angles and had to be dremelled
to have the two halves flush together. I was only marginally successful.
3.They were $ 135 and showed up promptly. Would I buy them knowing what I know now ? No. I'd contact someone well liked and respected and go with them. As it's proved that he's a recaster and you cannot knowingly support that considering what a 'labor of love' this stuff is.
I am frankly amazed at the level of quality and performance from people making everything from jet packs from Bobamaker to flak vests from 'batninja' to gauntlets from Ruffkin and many more. I'd hire all of them to come work for me, if such a thing were possible.

The Imposter Syndrome
15 February 2014 , 6:51 AM by Rob Minshull
Have you ever felt like a fraud? What is it like trying so hard to live up to what you think people expect of you in your personal life that you have forgotten who you are?
Harold Hillman was one of the only African American students during his time at Harvard and tried to live the life of a straight man in the US military.
He has written a book called The Imposter Syndrome and is talking to Kat Davidson.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
The Imposter Syndrome was actually identified in the late 1970's by Drs. Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes and has been researched many times over the intervening years. I've been researching the syndrome and speaking about it for the past 5 years. My own book "Liberate Leadership: How the Imposter syndrome undermines leadership capability and what to do about it" was published in August 2012.
I had experienced the syndrome for more than 25 years when I realised there was a name for it. For those who experience it,the syndrome is latent until something in our external environment creates personal uncertainty. Each of us is sensitive to different external events and then we attribute meaning to those events, depending on our backgrounds and world view. Clearly for Harold, being black in a predominantly white environment and being gay in a predominantly straight environment were triggers he was sensitive to.
I'm delighted to see someone else talking about the syndrome and particularly in the context of leadership. In doing so, more organisations will recognise that they can unlock the potential in their leaders by helping them overcome the Imposter Syndrome.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|This thread is a bit dated now and it's been over two years since my post on the HF/Belaire compressor, the situation has changed some since then. The compressors are no longer "US General" and are now "Central/Pneumatic" with a few differences, they still look like the Belaire but now come with either a Century motor or another motor I have never heard of and can't remember the name of right now but it seems to be hit-or-miss on which one it will have at any given time. The pump looks to be the same Italian built pump but it also might, or might not, be a Chinese copy, I have not been keeping up with these things lately but it seems today with just about everything and the stinkin box it comes in being from China it's hard to say if they are still the same or not.
I understand the theory that pumping X amount of air creates Y amount of heat, whether that is done at once or over a period of time. My gun takes 13cfm (15cfm compressor) and I can get an entire coat on a full size pickup before it kicks back on. Add in flash time between coats, and the compressor sits idle for a good long while. If the compressor kicked on 4 times during the coat, I could not keep the air nearly as cool. 15 degrees isn't much of a difference, but in high humidity, there is quite a difference on how fast my desiccant dryer is used up. When the compressor runs continuously for long periods, I can get a 50 degree jump.
I also specifically stated in my first post that 60-80 gallon is negligible and any point you make in saying otherwise is utterly ridiculous. No nowhere did I state that "I didn't agree with the blanket statement that the 60 vs 80 gallon didn't make a difference" as you said. HR has a hive-mind on this subject, and while being generally correct, is just that, a general statement.
I also originally said: "If I had a 20 gallon tank while painting, I would see the same issue as I do now with the DA." My gun is 13 cfm at 26psi, compressor 15 cfm. A 20 gallon tank would empty very rapidly causing the compressor to run near constantly while spraying. I know that with my DA, which causes the compressor to run near constantly water is an issue. I could not effectively dissipate the heat from the compressor on the fly in 95 degree weather, such as today, when the compressor rarely shuts off. I can get a full coat, or nearly a full coat without the compressor kicking on with my 80 gallon. Although the air heats up when the compressor kicks on, it has plenty of time to cool back down between coats.
This isn't just for painting, but for any non-continuous use tool, impacts, air hammers, etc. There may be a time when you will impact for 20 minutes straight, but that is far and few between. There are times when I need all the cfm I can get, the blaster and DA are my only ones, but for 80% of my air usage it is intermittent.
It doesn't matter who built the motor; if it does not receive the juice it requires it will shorten the life. The issue with these emerson motors is well known and I did a lot of research before buying the IR compressor because of this. Reading about this online and talking with IR, this conclusion makes pretty good sense to me...haven't seen too many failures from those running a thicker gauge wire. I know that a 5hp motor typically uses approx 25 amps under load and uses a 40 amp breaker. I was specifically told to use an 6 gauge because of my distance from the box to the compressor, but shorter distances can use 8. I don't know of a reason for this as I didn't get that far into it, quite possibly these motors have a very high initial amp kick. We use slow-blow breakers that will take considerably more amps for a short amount of time, so this wouldn't be instantly noticeable to anyone, but if the wire (power supply into the building, wherever the weak link is) can't handle the high amp draw, the motor will not get the amps it wants on the initial kick.
It has been a few years since I installed mine so all of the numbers are a bit fuzzy, but I believe the initial amp draw was near 100. I was also researching the 7.5hp versions as well, so that number may be for it. In any case, it was over the current carry capacity of a 10 gauge.
|You said you didn't agree with the blanket statement that the 60 vs 80 gallon didn't make a difference and I simply explained what I meant, that it was not a "blanket statement" that it made no difference at all. As far as the 60 gallon vs 80 making a difference while painting that can be a toss up also, you run a bit longer but then you also wait longer IF the compressor has to catch up, if it doesn't have to catch up and can keep up with the spray equipment then it makes no difference. The idea that an 80 gallon tank is going to provide cooler air than a 60 gallon is something you seemed to be saying and that is simply not going to be an issue since it is the amount of time the pump runs in a given work period that will cause the hotter air, when running that sandblaster for 15 minutes (or any tool for more than one run cycle) the pump will run the same amount of time regardless which tank you have and THAT is what heats the air. Having an 80 gallon tank instead of a 60 gallon does not mean the pump will run less during any given work period and it would be the same even with the 20 gallon you mention. You said that with a 20 gallon tank when painting you would have the same issue as you do when sandblasting with the bigger tank but that's not so, when sand blasting the compressor runs almost continuously and accumulates a heck of a lot more run time during the work period than when painting for the same work period. the frequent and short start/stop cycles of the smaller tank would cause some cooling problem but not for the same reasons as sandblasting with the bigger tank nor would the problem be as severe. If you paint for 30 minutes then the compressor will run the same amount of time whether has a 60 gallon tank or an 80 gallon or a 20 gallon for that matter.
|10 gauge is plenty sufficient for a 5 hp motor, which will draw 22-23 amps at load. 6 gauge is almost ridiculous, unless you have a 7.5hp motor. Not sure I agree with whomever gave you your information. I'm a little skeptical on resistance burning out the motor.
I think there is something wrong with your coffee. Besides the single vs 2 stage, I also stated that 60-80 gallon difference is hardly a difference and that I was talking more theoretical than specific to this thread.
There is an issue with the emerson motor on the IR unit. My research has shown that these motors will last when wired properly and given enough juice. They are very sensitive to resistance, and specifically if too small wiring is used they will burn out. I was recommended to go with a 10 gauge wire, which is drastically too small for the load. If most go with the recommendation, there is the issue. I ended up using 6 gauge IIRC, which is the wire actually rated for the amp draw.
Brad that IR is at TSC has a couple of problems that we simply can't overlook because too many people ask about compressors here. First they are just flat out lying about that 18+ CFM rating which is just unrealistic for that single stage pump/motor combo and recently some places have started rating it at a more believable 15+ CFM.
Same IR compressor that TSC sells but a full time compressor outfit rates it more realistically
Second they have a terrible reliability record and are notorious for burning out motors, we had a thread here not long ago with four owners of the darn things complaining about burned out motor problems in just that one thread! The IR at TSC is not an industrial USA built Ingersol Rand that the IR name is built on it is a Chinese import and unfortunately has earned a not so good track record. Also your example of hot air from a 20 gallon tank vs an 80 gallon may be valid but not so much for the 60 vs 80 with the differences being slight and even the little tank may not be as bad as it might seem. Because of space limitations we built quite a few high CFM small tank combinations for service trucks, some as much as 40 CFM with a 25-30 gallon "bumper" tank to save space (the rear bumper served double duty as a very heavy walled tank) plus various other combos of small tanks with high CFM and they did get hot but only under very high demand.
Honestly the heat difference between a 60 vs 80 gallon is going to be negligible for the same reason over-all air (in CFM) remains the same, the same amount of air enters the tank carrying the same amount of latent energy (heat) with only a small difference in cooling due to slightly more surface area of the tank, the amount of air flow through the tank is the same regardless. You are correct in your thinking and the extra cooling effect is real but just like the other advantages, energy savings and pump/motor life, the advantages are slight and not worth passing up better performance in the form of CFM and/or better quality. I have in the past harped a great deal on tank size because it is such a mis-understood factor when selecting a compressor. I in no way mean to say that a bigger tank is not better and usually it is but not always and not for the reasons most seem to think. It is useful in that it saves both on power consumption and pump motor/life due to fewer high torque start cycles, this can be substantial over the life of the compressor but negligible in the short term. Making a blanket statement that the 60 vs 80 gallon makes little or no difference is because 90% or better of the compressors being discussed here are in the 10 to 15 CFM range and in that class of compressor 60 vs 80 gallons simply will make little or no noticeable difference.
The point is that many times, far too many times, someone will pass up higher performance just to get a bigger tank and that clearly is a mistake! The compressors being considered in this thread are very good examples of the 60 vs 80 gallon dilemma that comes up so often and in this case the difference between a 60 gallon vs an 80 gallon really is very slight. As CFM increases the size of the tank becomes a more important consideration but up to about 16 to 18 CFM or so 60 vs 80 gallons really is going to be a toss-up. CFM rating, Duty cycle, pump type and construction quality plus the motor AMP rating (true rating) and service factor are all more important considerations when selecting between a compressor with a 60 gallon tank vs an 80 gallon when choosing a compressor of the size being discussed here.
EDIT: Danged if I didn't do it again!! He clearly said the TWO stage IR and I took it as the single stage! I think maybe there must be something wrong with my coffee!
Consider your compressor as a lifetime choice so get the best one you can and only do it once. My experience over many yeas that your demands on your compressor grows in time as you learn more and more about what it can and will do for you. Your collection of air tools will grow as well and you don't want to limit your future purchases due to limitations of your compressor.
Occasionally TSC puts the true 5HP, 80 gallon 2 stage IR on sale for $999. It is a good deal if you have a local TSC and don't mind waiting. The quincy is an excellent compressor and the IR isn't too far behind IMO.
I do not agree with the blanket statement that tank size does not matter under the specific condition of painting. My 80 gallon IR kicks on once per coat when painting, but runs nearly continuously blasting or running the DA, as to be expected. The air line gets hot to the touch and overloads my water traps allowing moisture to seep through the lines after about 15 minutes continuous use. If I had a 20 gallon tank while painting, I would see the same issue as I do now with the DA. I use a desiccant filter while painting as extra assurance. The warmer the air, the more water vapor could be present. Humidity here is usually pretty high...and when my air heats up, I get wet air. The more the compressor runs, the hotter the air. If you run a refrigerent drier or desiccant filters, this point is moot anyway as your water problems are completely solved.
Always buy the most CFM you can afford, without a doubt, but a 20cfm compressor on a 10 gallon tank is about worthless IMO. The bigger tank won't help a CFM hungry tool one bit, but it will help keep the air cooler on your less demanding tools. Like said earlier in this thread, 60-80 gallon is hardly noticable, but I gave an extra 100 for the 20 more gallons...it may not help that much, but it sure won't hurt a thing. On the 2 stage compressors, pumping up to approx 175 psi, it is also worth noting that the "amount of air" in those tanks is double a single stage at 90 psi, if you are regulating to 90psi. There is a lot more air storage here for your less demanding tools.
Keep in mind, before I get 100 posts saying I am dead wrong, is that I am not specifically talking about anything in this thread. A 60 gallon to 80 gallon tank difference is barely worth discussing. If this was a 10 gallon to 80 gallon, what I mentioned will come into play. It is more theoretical than anything else as most compressors have a comparable tank size to cfm. I have seen a few high cfm compressors with a small tank, but they are a bit rare and have a specific application.
|No doubt it's a better machine. If you can afford it, go for it. Peace of mind is nice. I had to make some decisions (price) and figured, meh, I can deal with it since it's just a hobby of mine.
The only balsting I do is using a presurized sandbaster I bought from Northern years ago. I really don't do much though, just balsting pitted spots and cleaning up engine bays as I said. So sandblasting isn't really an issue for me. But I do a lot of air file and DA sanding and I paint cars using a Sata conventional gun. So I am comfortable with the cfm ratings of any of the compressors I listed. I'm more weighing the cost of stepping up to the Quincy as opposed to all the other ones I've listed.
I went to my local Northern tool and looked over the Quincy and then dropped by Harbor Freight and looked at the US General. They are very different machines considering the cfm's are similar. The Quincy has a V pump that has 2 pistons for each stage for a total of 4 pistons, and the exchange tube between the stages was very long and finned. The US General had one piston per stage and they were side by side in a vertical layout. I was surprised to see the exchange tube wasn't finned. But thwere was a finned casting going part wat towards the tank from the second stage.
I pretty much decided between the two I'd spend the extra cash and go with the Quincy. I'd still like to see the Belaire and Chicago Pnuematic up close.
I don't know what the heck I was thinking, he never said a darn thing that related to that single stage HF (Belaire) compressor and yet that is what I was thinking he was talking about. Damn this getting old is a real drag! (Until you consider the alternative! )

Journal Editorial Report distorted methane study, falsely suggesting it undermined global warming science
The Wall Street Journal's Paul Gigot falsely claimed that a new study by the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics undermines the science behind global warming.
On the January 21 edition of The Journal Editorial Report -- the first edition of the show to air on Fox News following its departure [1] from the Public Broadcasting Service -- Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul A. Gigot [2] falsely claimed that a new study [3] by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics [4], which found that live plants produce 10 to 30 percent of atmospheric methane, "is turning conventional wisdom about global warming on its head." Editorial page deputy editor Daniel Henninger [5] then claimed that "this is causing big problems for the tree-huggers," telling viewers that methane "is a greenhouse gas, the sort of stuff the Kyoto Treaty [6] is meant to suppress." In fact, in a press release [7] published three days before the Editorial Report aired, the study's authors pointed out that human-caused emissions -- not natural emissions -- "are responsible for the well-documented increasing atmospheric concentrations of methane since pre-industrial times." The authors added that plant emissions do not contribute to "the recent temperature increase known as 'global warming.' "
As Media Matters for America has noted [8], there is broad scientific consensus that the dramatic global warming observed in recent decades is largely attributable to human-released greenhouse gases and other human activities.
From the January 21 edition of Fox News' The Journal Editorial Report:
GIGOT: Item one: Tree-huggers beware. A new study is turning conventional wisdom about global warming on its head. Dan?
HENNINGER: Well, you know, Paul, if you go onto a website of [President] Ronald Reagan's stupidest quotes, the one you'll always find is the one he said in 1981, which is that trees cause more pollution than automobiles. Well, maybe Ronald Reagan was a genius.
Because the eminent Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg, Germany, has just reported in Nature magazine that plants, trees, forests, emit 10 to 30 percent of the methane gas into the atmosphere. This is a greenhouse gas, the sort of stuff the Kyoto Treaty is meant to suppress. So, this is causing big problems for the tree-huggers if plants, in fact, do cause greenhouse gases; and I have just one message for them: The next time you are out for a walk in the woods, breathe the methane.
Contrary to Gigot and Henninger's claims, the Planck Institute's study does not turn "conventional wisdom about global warming on its head," nor is the revelation that plants emit methane "causing big problems" for environmentalists. In fact, the study's first sentence [9] [subscription required] points out that methane's "atmospheric concentration has almost tripled since pre-industrial times" -- an increase far greater than the 10 to 30 percent of methane emitted by plants.
Moreover, in a January 18 press release titled "Global Warming -- The Blame Is not with the Plants [7]," the study's authors responded to media "misinterpretation" of their findings:
The most frequent misinterpretation we find in the media is that emissions of methane from plants are responsible for global warming. As those emissions from plants are a natural source, they have existed long before man's influence started to impact upon the composition of the atmosphere. It is the anthropogenic [human caused] emissions which are responsible for the well-documented increasing atmospheric concentrations of methane since pre-industrial times. Emissions from plants thus contribute to the natural greenhouse effect and not to the recent temperature increase known as 'global warming'. Even if land use practices have altered plant methane emissions, which we did not demonstrate, this would also count as an anthropogenic source, and the plants themselves cannot be deemed responsible.
In addition, Henninger's suggestion that trees cause pollution is misleading. In their January 18 press release, the study's authors noted that while reforestation programs may have a slight negative effect on efforts to control methane emissions, plants' ability to absorb carbon dioxide -- the most damaging greenhouse gas -- means that "the potential for reduction of global warming by planting trees is most definitely positive." The authors added: "The fundamental problem still remaining is the global large-scale anthropogenic burning of fossil fuels."
The Editorial Report's distortion of the study echoes a similarly misleading characterization of the study by nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh [10]. On the January 11 broadcast of his show, Limbaugh read portions of a January 11 Reuters article [11] about the study but omitted the part that noted that "[c]oncentrations of the gas [methane] in the atmosphere have almost tripled in the last 150 years." Instead, Limbaugh told his listeners: "Well, hot damn. God is to blame for global warming."
From the January 11 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: All right. Some of these other news items here. From Reuters: German scientists have discovered a new source of methane, which is a greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide in its impact on climate change.
What is this new source of methane?
The culprits are plants. They produce about 10 to 30 percent of the annual methane found in the atmosphere, according to researches at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. The scientists measured the amount of methane released from the plants in controlled spearmints, and they found -- that's for you in Rio Linda - they found it increases with rising temperatures and exposure to sunlight. Well, hot damn. God is to blame for global warming.

Hey guys, I've been a long time viewer and admirer but I'm just starting to post and do my own work. I have two large projects I'm working on:
creating my own set of beskar'gam for the mandalorian mercs
creating a full line of every clonetrooper helmet variant
I'm well on my way with my beskar'gam and am currently working on building a Z-6 style jet pack (just finished resin and planning to post WIP thread shortly)
my second project is far more extensive, ambitious, and possibly suicidal. My plan is to create every single clonetrooper helmet variant (excluding a few animated series ones) that has seen screen time. I'm planning on doing them out of pepakura/resin/rondo/bondo. I realize the scope of this so it's going to spread out over a year or more.

Benefits of Soy Candles
Many people do not realize the many benefits there are for using soy wax candles over paraffin wax candles. Soy candles burn clean. They do not produce soot and are non-toxic. Another benefit to using soy candles is that they are long burning. All our candles have a cotton wick and soy wax burns slower than your typical paraffin wax candle. Soy wax candles are biodegradable because they largely made from hydrogenated soy bean oil. This also helps support local farmers.

"Barn" Raising
While not actually a "barn," we will be raising our new (used) greenhouse starting on Thursday, January 19th and working every day, Rain or Shine, through Friday, January 27th, including weekends.
We particularly need folks who can swing a hammer, lift some weight, stretch some poly film, and screw in window frames. Previous construction work is particularly welcome, but NOT mandatory.
Bring tools, especially hammers, staple guns (with staples, please), drills and screw guns, wonder bars, crow bars and other implements of building. A Power washer would be helpful, as would a nail gun. We could also use a few used screen doors, if you have any handy.
Groups or individuals welcome, Please contact Tim if you'll be able to stop by. We're also looking for financial support to help finish this project. Donations large or small can be sent through http://www.paypal.com with the funds payable to email@example.com;

I'm all for staying with the electoral college, but let's have the states assign the votes by congressional district. Then you won't have large cities like NYC and Philly carrying the whole state.

Parts, spring, trigger, all lower parts look new and well oiled. I can drop the bolt in by itself and it moves smooth and free in the carrier and out. The firing pin is free but nothing sticks out until you push hard on the strike area. The go guage goes in and the bolt rotates down til the lug is just about touching the trunion. If I put a good round in the bolt and drop it in the bolt does not rotate in without help. The magazines all fit in snug, no play, they go up and sit against the lower sides of the lower rails, the hammer spring has three wraps on each side and looks good. I have two European 30 rd mags, one like new composit mag made in Bulgaria and two 20rd Tapco 233 plastic mags. The latter three work good when it fires. Throws the empties about 20 feet behind and to my right.
My wife's family is here for 3 days and I've just been told to stop this so it may be 3 days before I get more pictures taken. Thanks a lot for the help.

Landscape architecture is an expanding profession that is rich in scope and engaged in shaping the future of our world. Practice involves creating, conserving, and reclaiming the landscape in contexts that range from urban to pristine nature.
The work of landscape architects addresses varied settings and includes an increasingly broad range of project types: public places and communities, educational and office campuses, active recreational parks and quiet places of contemplation, transit corridors and greenways, wetlands restoration and regional conservation planning, among others. When working with those in related professions―biologists, foresters, horticultural specialists, ecological scientists, civil engineers, soil experts, architects, and planners―landscape architects integrate solutions to complex problems through designs that are artful, functional, and sustainable.
Successful landscape architecture orchestrates relationships between the natural and built environments. The economic and social benefits of effective landscape design―creating added value―are well documented. As environmental quality becomes a global priority there is increased public expectation of better places to live, work and play.
The bachelor of landscape architecture (BLA) and master of landscape architecture (MLA) programs are fully accredited by the national Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board (LAAB) and nationally ranked. The LAAB requires accredited programs to provide reliable information to the public. This information is intended to help potential students make informed application decisions. For more information on LAAB, click here. Programs accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board are required to provide reliable information to the public. Programs must report on accreditation status and its performance. This information is to help potential students make informed application decisions. To review this information, click here.
Undergraduate admission to Ball State University is required for application to the BLA program. The MLA program is open to any qualified student holding a baccalaureate degree who meets graduate admission criteria for Ball State University.
For students looking to pair natural and aesthetic principles to the design, preservation, and management of the land, with another major interest, a minor in landscape architecture is available.

So I built a DIYPNP Megasquirt ECU (INB4 hipstergram)
Flashed it with firmware
Installed it in my Miata
Which has this engine
Made this custom dashboard in Tunerstudio to monitor all my functions
And now I could spend literally all of my time driving around and tuning my car... Having 100% control over the mechanical symphony and its various sensors is crazy. Tuning a carbureted engine is my roots (and I'm not any good at it) but when you can build your own ECU and tune it so that your car starts and runs in any condition 100% better than it did when stock is crazy. I love putting it in 3rd gear and flooring it from 1000 RPM up to the rev limiter and watching the air-fuel ratios be perfect with no chugging, bucking, pinging or hiccups.
Just wanted to share. My thanks to all the great people out there that have developed this system so that people like me can have control over their cars. If you've never installed Megasquirt in a car, you've really got to try it. It's not as hard as you think thanks to the designers who have made it easy!

State Emergency Operations Center helps communities respond to storm damage in Minnesota
Submitted: 06/16/2014
Story By Associated Press
- Authorities have activated the State Emergency Operations Center to help communities in southwestern and northern Minnesota respond to damage from recent severe storms.
The announcement says it's just a partial activation that requires officials from various agencies to determine whether state resources are needed for the recovery effort. It says no local officials have requested state resources so far.
The state Homeland Security and Emergency Management division says local officials are assessing damage to 12 township and county roads in Rock County. More than 6 inches of rain fell in Pipestone County, flooding roads in 75 locations in the Edgerton area and washing out the road to a bridge on the Rock-Pipestone County line. Sandbagging continues in Koochiching County to protect the International Falls water treatment and wastewater treatment facilities.

Marshfield Clinic weighs in on proposal giving chiropractors ability to conduct sports physicals
Submitted: 06/28/2017
Play Video
- Every two years, high school athletes in Wisconsin get the signature of a physician, saying they're healthy to play sports. That signature comes after a physical exam.
Chiropractors can't give that sign-off, but they soon might be allowed to do so. The state Assembly passed a bill which would give chiropractors that privilege.
"The pre-participation exam is certainly extremely important. It is the best way to catch underlying illness and risk factors before athletes participate in sports," said Marshfield Clinic Regional Medical Director Dr. William Melms, who works out of Minocqua.

Local orthodontist sends healing cards for injured veterans
Submitted: 06/28/2017

- Most people don't use an orthodontic office as a mail room.
However, one Rhinelander orthodontist is doing just that.
Dr. Joshua Bruce is helping to organize the "Hope and Healing" thank you card program for wounded veterans. It's run through his newly shared practice with Dr. Darrell Schmidt.
Schmidt first collected and sent cards to injured service members around Christmas last year.
Now, they are doing the same thing for Independence Day.
"[We want to] express our thanks for all they do for us, for the freedoms we enjoy that they sacrificed so much for," said Bruce.

Wausau Fire Department kicks off Fill the Boot Campaign

- Every year, firefighters around the country ask their communities to fill up boots with money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Wausau Fire Department kicked off its "Fill the Boot" campaign Tuesday morning.
The fire department will be at local events throughout the summer to collect donations.
The fundraiser helps with research and treatment for neuromuscular diseases for kids and adults.
"It's kind of a rewarding part of the job. Most of what we do is off camera, you don't really get to see all aspects of the fire department. It is a great chance for us to get out there and see all the programs we are involved in to help,"says firefighter Matt Tormohlen.

How to keep pets safe during July 4th celebrations
Submitted: 06/28/2017
- Bringing your pet along to watch fireworks might seem like a fun way to spend the Fourth of July, but you could be doing more harm than good.
July 5th is one of the busiest days of the year for most animal shelters.
That's because fearful pets try to escape the bangs and flashes from fireworks and end up lost.
Forest County Humane Society president Jay Schaefer says don't let yourself add to your pet's stress.
Play it down, and make the fireworks a good thing with positive talk and treats.
"They're reading cues from us constantly. So be careful of your body language and the cues you're giving them. If you act like fireworks are a big scary thing they're gonna be like, 'oh my god fireworks are scary,'" says Schaefer.
Exercise can be another way to calm your pet before the big light show.
Burning off the energy earlier in the day may help your pet go to sleep early.
"Take them for a jog on the Fourth of July. I know it's hectic, but do something so they're not all amped up at night when the fireworks go off," says Schaefer.
Like many humans, pets like the smell of lavender.
You can try diffusing the scent around the house to put your pet at ease.
Make sure you have a well-fitting collar and identification tag on your pet.
If flashes are too bright, you might want to close the curtains.

Organic cranberry marsh uses geese for weed control
Submitted: 06/28/2017
Play Video
- Managing weeds can be a challenge for many cranberry growers across the state.
James Lake Farms in Three Lakes has been certified organic since 2007.
As organic growers, they are not allowed to use synthetic materials or herbicides to control their weeds.
This spring, they purchased weed eating geese from a nursery to help get rid of the weeds.
"We came across an article from 1954 in a trade magazine that showed that one of our marshes had used weeder geese back then in order to reduce the weed pressure, and we thought, well, this might be a novel approach," said owner John Stauner.

Gordon Hayward hit the tie-breaking jumper with 4.5 seconds left and the Utah Jazz rallied from a 12-point deficit in the final six minutes to score a 104-102 win over Sacramento on Friday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
Hayward finished with 23 points as the Jazz went over .500 for the first time this season with their improbable victory over the Kings, who scored only five points after taking a 97-85 lead.
Tyreke Evans scored 12 points and Aaron Brooks added 10 as the Sacramento Kings took a 53-52 halftime lead.
Marvin Williams and Hayward scored 11 points each to lead the Jazz, who lost starting point guard Mo Williams with a sprained right ankle.
The Kings, 0-4 on the road this season, raced to a 23-13 lead in the first eight minutes.
Brooks scored six points during a 12-4 run that pushed Sacramento in front, before Utah rallied behind the play of Marvin Williams and Hayward.
Williams finished the first quarter with nine points, while Hayward scored 11 during a seven-minute stretch as the Jazz fought back into the game.
They trailed, 47-42, after the Kings' Jimmer Fredette hit a 3-pointer and Jason Thomspon scored on a tip-in.
Utah tied the game, however, with a layup by Marvin Williams and a transition 3-pointer from Randy Foye with 3:23 left.
Another 3-pointer by Foye gave Utah a 50-49 lead with less than a minute left, but Evans scored on the Kings' final two possessions to give them a one-point halftime lead.
The Jazz led 62-61 before going cold midway through the third quarter. Evans and Brooks hit 3-pointers during a 10-0 run that gave Sacramento a nine-point lead.
It was 80-73 heading into the wild fourth quarter, when the Jazz staged their improbable comeback.
