Has anyone done a saiga .308 conversion to take G3 mags?
I have a old tapco flat that I destroyed in a failed attempt to bend without as jig some time ago. While taking measurements it seems that if you cut the trigger guard back 3/8ths of an inch and weld it back together you won have to modify the reciever as much. I might not be able to shoot with a thick ass glove but it is plenty wide enough. The magazine housing for the G3 mag must encompas the first two holes of the selector stop and the trigger guard so when you move them back you have to modify the selector stop to stop. It would be easy enough to weld a small stop at the original spot. Clean it up a bit and it could look nice.
The G3 mags are going to need modified. They need the mag catch tab of the AK, and a bigger lip in the front. I will cut around the tab of some AK mags and weld them to some steel G3's I have. I will weld a front lip and grind it to the right fatness. There are other ways but I am going to try this first.

Community gets $30K toward dike, flood study
Miles City and Custer County will receive $30,000 ($15,000 each) for the feasibility study for the dike/flood control from the Community Development Block Grant program, City Grants Administrator Dawn Colton told the Miles City Council Tuesday night at City Hall.
"Just to bring everybody up to speed, I think we put in for a $60,000 grant and we got half of that, so we'll be looking for an additional $30,000 come budget time," Mayor Butch Grenz said.
The study will cost $187,000, determined by an earlier bid.
The community also received a $5,000 grant from the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. Officials are awaiting word on a Federal Emergency Management Agency application, in addition to looking for more funding.
Also at the council meeting, a resolution to de-annex Super 8 Motel from the city limits died for lack of a second to the motion.
Grenz said the motel gets city water and sewer.
Raja Patel, president of Lakshmi, Inc. and owner of the motel, submitted a petition to be excluded from the city limits.
The motel was annexed August 2012 upon Patel's request.
Grenz worried de-annexation would set a precedent.
"I guess the real question is, he wanted in, he got in, now he wants out. Is everyone going to be that way, then? The people that are already in, are they going to want out?" he asked.
Council member Susanne Galbraith agreed that it could set "a dangerous precedent."
"I have to pay taxes. No one's going to let me out," Council member Jerry Partridge said.
But newly seated council member Sheena Martin asked if not approving the annexation would be a deterrent to the business.
The motels in the city limits are part of the tourism district that charges a $1 fee for each room, each night. That money is used to encourage tourism to Miles City.
Utilities Director Allen Kelm explained that the Miles City Area Chamber of Commerce sends out information to teams coming to town and lists the motels in the district.
Some council members said they heard that Patel asked to be annexed to help the tourism district raise money. Others heard it was to get the Super 8 on the list, thereby getting more business.
Grenz said Patel didn't realize the increase in taxes the annexation would cause.
"Every other hotel, motel that's inside the city limits is dealing with the same thing, and they are prospering," Kelm said.
City Attorney Dan Rice asked that the minutes reflect that the council didn't feel it was in the best interest of the city to de-annex.
The mayor assigned the council members to city committees as follows:
— Finance: Susanne Galbraith, Sheena Martin, John Hollowell and Dwayne Andrews;
— Public Service: Galbraith, Partridge, Hollowell and Andrews;
— Public Safety: Galbraith, Partridge, Mark Ahner and Roxanna Brush;
— Human Resource: Ken Gardner, Martin, Ahner and Brush;
— Flood Control: Gardner, Martin, Hollowell and Andrews.
In other news:
— The mayor made the following appointments (and the council approved them): Dale Barta to the planning board, Leif Ronning to the zoning board, Mark Browning and Doug Melton to historical preservation (reappointments), and Calvin Carey and Phillip Emmons to the airport commission, with Doug Phair as an alternate.
— Grenz said he received a message with concerns about plowing of Boutelle Street. He said the city takes care of the streets up to the city limits. Holy Rosary Healthcare has a private contractor that does Boutelle Street, he said.
"I gotta say that the city crews have really been knocking it out of the park for as much stuff as we've had to move," he said. "When you look at the mountains of snow packed up along the railroad track and everywhere else, that's a lot snow. And it isn't easy, I'm sure."
— In light of recent derailments of trains carrying oil, Partridge said it is very important to keep the trains going through Miles City under 15 mph.
"The oil is extremely dangerous. If a derailment should happen, it's my guess all of Miles City would have to be evacuated. That's similar to what's happened in North Dakota, and I'm hopeful we stay on top of these guys," he said.
— City Clerk Lorrie Pearce announced the budget training session that will take place at 9 a.m. on Jan. 29 at City Hall.
— Ordinance No. 1261 was unanimously approved. It would change the zoning of the lot where Bobcat of Miles City is located, from heavy commercial to general commercial.
The city's contracted planner Dave DeGrandpre said that since there is housing nearby, the heavy commercial could be "high impact" to nearby homes with possible noise, fumes and heavier traffic.
He added that general commercial can be anything from multi-family housing to consumer-type commercial.
— A resolution (Resolution No. 3656) for the Miles City Board of Health to enter into an agreement with the state for inspections of licensed establishments was passed unanimously.
—Every 10 years voters get a chance to establish a local government review. A resolution to put the review on the ballot was tabled because it required a dollar amount which has not yet been determined.
It is being sent to the Finance Committee to find an amount.
Pearce said the training of the study commission members would be $3,000. Other costs have to be determined.
The study can look at forming a charter form of city government, consolidation of city and county, having a city manager, and more.
Grenz said the charter government can make the government fit like a glove, depending on the city's individual needs.
He said mayors from those cities that have a charter say it is so much better.
— An amended Horizon Parkway Subdivision plat (Bobcat property) was unanimously approved.

Concord Coalition Executive Director Robert Bixby: "You know . . . it's not the immediate size of the debt that we worry about, it is the projected size going forward. If you look at the projected deficits they are totally unsustainable. You would need -- you couldn't do it all by just raising taxes, you couldn't solve it all just by cutting some particular program in the federal deficit. We're looking at trillions of dollars of debt over the next ten years, another ten trillion dollars just over the next ten years under current policies. This is why economists say it's totally unsustainable because over time nobody will lend us the money to pay the interest on that debt."

The Blue Hens, who have posted four top three team finishes this fall, have now been ranked in the Top 15 in all seven polls this season.
Delaware will take this week off and continue action Nov. 15 at the NCAA District 2 Mid-Atlantic Regionals at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa.
The Blue Hens recorded a strong finish at the CAA meet Saturday at Oregon Ridge Park in Cockeysville, Md. as Delaware had three top 20 finishes led by senior Emily Gispert, who finished ninth overall with a time of 22:17.95 on the six-kilometer course.
Delaware posted its second straight third place finish at the CAA meet despite the absence of top runner Lindsay Prettyman in the final standings. Prettyman, who had led the Hens in each race this season, dropped out of the competition midway through the race.
Georgetown remained at No. 1 in this week's Mid-Atlantic poll and was followed by Princeton, West Virginia, Penn State, Villanova, Duquesne, Lehigh, Pennsylvania, La Salle,Navy, Bucknell, Delaware, Saint Joseph's, American, and Pittsburgh.

|Wheels & Tires The place to go for answers on wheel types, tire sizes, offset, wheel patterns and more.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|This thread is getting away from the OP's topic.
now mine wasnt caused from towing as i was told by a ford mech friend that this was a common problem with this model.
|Thanks for the heads up on the things to look for Geezer. Can you tell me if I should replace the throttle body when I change the TPS. I have read that some people are saying that I can get away with the TPS only, while otheres are saying I should change the throttle body as well due to a compatability issue between the two.
An 01 with 46K miles sounds like a real cream puff and a great find. With 130HP or so, you're not going to win too many drag races but as you have learned, they handle pretty damn nice.
Very early foci do have a couple of notable problems to keep an eye on. One was the brakes. Ford delivered a lot of early cars with some very poor quality front rotors (poor metallurgy that resulting in uneven bedding of the pads). If the front brake rotors haven't already been replaced and you feel some pulsation coming from the front, consider some new rotors in the near future. As mentioned above, Ford also had a batch of crappy springs on the 00-02 cars. They rusted really bad and are prone to snap in half. Keep any eye on those as well. If you do have to replace them I strongly suggest the SVT suspension kit (springs, shocks and bigger rear sway delivered for less than $300.00). It turns a nice handling car into a great handling car without much impact to overall ride quality. The fun quotient goes up at least two fold. The springs will lower the car about 1/2".
2001 zx3
Hello everyone.....I recently found, and joined, this group because you guys have had the best information on trouble shooting and fixing a Focus. I recently purchased a 2001 ZX3 with 46,000 miles on it for my daughter. I have replaced the EGR valve and replaced the plugs and wires. I now am gettinf the p0122 code. I will be fixing that this week, thanks to the knowlege of you guys.
Is there any thing else I should look for with this car? I mean are there any problems these cars are known for? I am an old V8 guy and this is my first Focus.
It's a whole lot slower than my other cars, but, it is fun to drive.......
Thanks for the reply Geezer! And I have read a lot of horror stories involving inner edges on tires being worn prematurely.
I would have also figured the springs were no count. They look rather cheap too. They also have a good amount of cancer especially at the top.
So Ill probably have to get new springs if replacing the other bushings doesn't do the justice.
Yep, for whatever reason Ford delivered the Focus with lots of non-adjustable camber at all four corners. And yes again, the bulk of the problem is in the rear end. There's usually enough camber that even when combined with modest amounts of toe it becomes a recipe for eating tires. Camber bolts (along with a good alignment using very precise settings) are the cheapest (30.00 or less) and easiest way of making corrections.
In addition, Ford got hold of a batch of really crappy springs. These were delivered on early (pre 03) Foci. They were subject to sagging and outright failure (coils breaking from rust through). This problem continues to happen even after all these years. While I haven't heard of too many wagons experiencing the problem (they have a different and longer rear spring than sedans and hatchbacks) it could still be a possibility assuming they were sourced from the same place. Besides stock OE replacement springs, Bat Inc. carries several performance spring and shock options for the wagon that may interest you.
Thanks for the reply!
You are right about the bushings and shocks, though it did help. Later on some time I am going to tear into the lower arm bushings, and yes I did use the poly ones. They seem to work well.
And that what I have read before I joined this forum, I just want to see if re-doing the bushings will some how magically solve my problem lol. If not (witch im sure will be the case lol) then ill order some springs and get cracking on it.
And Ill see if I cant post some pics of the car and maybe that will help with describing my problem. It doesn't sag as much, but it does a little bit, and the rear camber problem is there, not as extreme, but its there. I may just have to get those adjustable arms (should have done that from the start, anyway) and do the backyard alignment. The more I pay attention to these cars, the more I notice with this camber problem. Hmm...
Gotta think where to start here....
Shocks & bushings won't raise the rear of the car for starters I guess is a good place to start, not sure how you replaced upper arm bushings since the only way to do that is to replace the arm unless you press in Poly Bushings....
Camber in the rear isn't generally an issue by itself except for lowered cars, the tire wear issue is generally from the wrong toe in, causing wear on one side of the tires.
The proper specs., and a shade tree method to set the alignment yourself, can be found in the "Wheels, Tires, Brakes" section of the Forum.
Replacing springs if it's sagging is MUCH easier if you detach the shock first to let the arm drop. Old springs can then usually be levered out, but you'll need to compress the new ones a bit for installation (center rod type compressor is easiest, but not a common tool - I used external "cheapo's" from Harbor Freight to do MY upgrade - but they're a bit of a PITA & will wear out in one use)
Lower control arm bolts tend to freeze in the bushing sleeves, making toe adjustment or arm replacement difficult - penetrant & repeated loosening attempts got mine good enough for adjustment, but not for replacement. If you need new arms cutting them out is the general method.
Give more details on the issues you are trying to solve, and we can give more detailed info..
Welcome to the Forum!
P.S. - for better responses, we might move this to a more appropriate area...
btw, if you still have too much camber at normal ride height adjuster bolts for the upper arms are available - cheapest way to get 'em more vertical.

While there have been lots of reports of technical glitches and huge obstacles for consumers trying to sign up on the healthcare.gov website, the federal government releases for the first time local figures on the number of people purchasing plans. Here are those numbers: in Kansas, 371, in Missouri, 751.
Dave Helling reported on the Shepherds Center of Kansas City, which received federal funding as a healthcare navigator group to help consumers sign up for coverage: "For six weeks, trained experts at the Shepherd's Center of Kansas City waited to help thousands of uninsured residents obtain subsidized. By the first week of November, those experts had finished signing up eight people for coverage. Eight."
"We figured we'd have eight people on the first day. In the first hours," said Pamela Seymour, the center's executive director.

Hello Lucy,
I am a 27 year old professional living in the UK. I am very very keen to get into TEFL teaching, hopefully in Thailand but am struggling to find a course that will place me as I do not have a degree. I have worked for 7 years in a field that has enabled me to have the skills that would make me a perfect candidate to teach over seas. I have experience of training, teaching and metoring in a professional setting so would love to get an oppertunity that mirrors my work. I regret not doing a degree when I was younger but work took over.
I would be ever so grateful if you could give me some advice.
Many Thanks

For others who missed Paul Krugman column from last Thursday's New York Times, it's worth a look. Krugman nails the Fox fantasist Glenn Beck for quoting reports that he can't produce. Krugman says:
"Thus, last week Glenn Beck — who seems to be challenging Rush Limbaugh for the role of de facto leader of the G.O.P. — informed his audience of a "buried" Obama administration study showing that Waxman-Markey would actually cost the average family $1,787 per year. Needless to say, no such study exists."
You really have to wonder who's inspiring Beck to make this stuff up.

"Waxman-Markey act, which if it becomes law would eventually lead to sharp reductions in greenhouse gas"….eventually, hah. Krugman and the New York Times…add a little michael mann and peter jackson could have another sci-fi hit.

Obama is not a racist but if he believed half the stuff he heard coming out of Wrights mouth, he would have to be a seriously indentured racialist.
But no, he just used Wright to get ahead so I wouldnt even seriously call him a racialist. He just climbs the ladder using whoever is convenient. Thats what I would call the audacity of his personal hope.

How could Obama even be a racialist when he's bi-racial? He loves his white family. He loves his black family.
Also, have you even listened to entire sermons of Rev. Wright's? I have listened to one full sermon and very little of it actually berates white America for the sins of the past. It is largely typical of the Black Church which preaches liberation theology and personal responsibility.
Sure, some of the excerpts of some of his sermons are ridiculous. However, that may be in only 1% or so of the speeches he's made, and Obama's called Rev. Wright to task for them. You cannot honestly criticize Obama for the sins of his preacher.

Hi, guys - I've wandered into this forum while looking to buy a scanner that will be adequate for transferring my 1000+ mainly black and white family photos from 1940s and 1950s into digital format. I want to digitise them to preserve a family record before the prints deteriorate and to illustrate our family history - the photos themselves are for the most part not works of art, but genuine family snaps, and I doubt that anyone in the next generation will hang onto the prints!
I'd welcome any suggestions from visitors to this forum - (although it looks as if this particular thread is not heavily used at the moment)

2 ways: 1 - shoot them on a copy stand, w/ a digital camera, then transfer them to a disk. 2 - scan them w/ a flat bed scanner, w/ 300-400 dpi, & transfer them to your computer. Then "adjust them", & then put them on a disk. ( gold for being archival ). /kurtphillip.
Posted 08 December 2011 - 07:46 AM
Both the ways discussed by phillip are very effective for scanning. I usually choose the second one in my case.

Minor League Report: Chris Nelson
Minor League Report: Chris Nelson
Nelson, the Rockies' first-round Draft pick in 2004, was a bit wide-eyed leaving his Decatur, Ga., home. Boiling packages of Ramen noodles was the extent of his cooking knowledge. Since then, his thin body has thickened, although with the muscle came pain and difficulty.
Now, Nelson is making his way onto the Rockies' Major League radar. He hit a career-best .289 with 10 home runs, 42 doubles and seven triples at Class A Modesto last season, and is projected to begin 2008 at Double-A Tulsa.
"I really went through a lot of body changes," said Nelson, who is 5-foot-11 with a thick trunk and legs. "I'm really happy just to be where I am now. I've been working hard for a long time now. Things are finally starting to move forward. I'm happy about that."
Nelson, 22, received his first Major League camp invitation this year, and went 2-for-5 with a run scored before being sent to Minor League camp to prepare for his season. Although the Rockies signed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to a six-year contract after his strong rookie year in 2007, the club is keeping Nelson at his primary position.
The plan is to keep him comfortable in the field as he gains experience at the plate, with club officials feeling he is a good enough athlete to make a quick transition if that's what it takes to help the club in the Majors.
Nelson is relieved to see his career moving forward.
He hit .347 at rookie level Casper after being drafted, but overtrained for the 2005 season at Class A Asheville and suffered a right hamstring strain that cost him nearly two months. He hit .241 that season, and returned to hit .260 in 2006.
Nelson progressed after the season while playing in the Hawaii Winter Baseball. He hit .261 in 26 games, but took major strides with his patience in the batter's box.
"That was good stuff, facing Japanese pitchers with the arm angles and the different pitchers they have," Nelson said. "Those dudes are amazing. I really had to sit back on the ball and really focus on the ball. It helped me develop big-time patience."

They're No. 1: Greg Reynolds has reached a new level of effectiveness since being cut from Major League camp on March 10.
Reynolds missed the end of last season because of a minor shoulder surgery and seemed to show rust in big league camp. All of that is behind him.
"He's the Greg Reynolds we saw prior to the injury," Rockies director of player development Marc Gustafson said. "For us, he's just on the normal pitcher workload. It's not like he's being treated any differently from anybody else."
The Rockies are keeping a close eye on the health of Chaz Roe, a compensatory first-round Draft pick in 2005, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery. He's jogging and throwing long toss, and will be on the mound late next week.
Rotation time: The fallout from the Major League roster will help determine Triple-A Colorado Springs' rotation, but Gustafson said Reynolds and left-hander John Koronka are two of the five. Right-handers Brandon Hynick and Chin-Lung Lo, and left-handers Xavier Cedeno and Brandon Durden will pitch with Double-A Tulsa until Roe is healthy.
Hot pitchers: Gustafson said one pitcher showing promise is left-hander Keith Weiser, who went 17-7 with a 3.75 ERA last season for Asheville. Gustafson said Weiser is demonstrating "pitch-ability, throwing strikes." Also, righty Jhoulyx Chacon has taken a nice step forward after his strong work at rookie level Casper last season (6-5, 3.13 ERA, league-leading 77 strikeouts). Right-handed reliever Pedro Strop, who began the spring in Major League camp, had a dominant, nine-pitch outing recently and has thrown well in Minor League camp.
Class of '07: Rockies Minor League hitting instructor Jimmy Johnson said most of the position players in the 2007 Draft took huge leaps forward by adhering to their offseason homework assignments. Second-rounder Brian Rike, an outfielder, returned with more muscle on a frame that could handle it; same with 12th-round infielder Darin Holcomb, who hit .303 at short-season Class A Tri-City. Third-rounder Lars Davis, a catcher, appears more comfortable in pro ball and ready to improve on his .219 average at Tri-City.
Johnson said he sees the potential for offensive development in 25th-round pick Michael Mitchell, who hit .259 at Tri-City.
They said it: Former Rockies second baseman Eric Young, now an ESPN commentator, visited the Rockies' camp -- partly for his broadcast work, but also to see his son, second-base prospect Eric Young Jr. He left with a better understanding of why the Rockies are considered among the top organizations in baseball. Just watching the farm clubs practice defense made an impression.
"I was very impressed," Young said. "You can tell they focus on defense and doing things the right way in the Minor Leagues. It's easy to translate over to the Major League level. They take pride in their skills, hitting the cutoff men, making the right play.
"The coaches stress that, but you have to give credit to the players. When I was coming up, you had players who were like, 'Oh, man, we have to take infield.' Watching those guys, it's like they were excited about taking infield. I was very impressed with the whole attitude."

Continuing with my exploration of the Names of Odin in alphabetical order, He doesn't have many heiti, or by-names, beginning with the letter D. However, the one we'll be discussing today is among my favorites of all of His names anyway because it tells us so much about the essence of who and what He is. It is generally translated as meaning "Lord of the Dead." Lets break it down, though, and see if we can learn more from it than that.
The drottin part of the name means chieftain, or lord, and has a cognate in the Anglo-Saxon drihten. The particular connotation here is that of a military lord, the leader of a war band (from Proto-Germanic *druti). This implies the sort of kingship portrayed in Beowulf, for example; not necessarily a hereditary role, but one decreed by merit and ability, the man who is elevated to kingship because other men look to him and trust in his abilities, the ring giver and keeper of the web of oaths that tie a war band, a tribe, or a people together.
The other half of the name, drauga, means the dead, but here again a particular type of dead person is implied. In Germanic belief, the "ordinary" dead go to Helheim, where they are perhaps reunited with their loved ones and have a period of rest and rejuvenation prior to being reborn or going on about whatever work lies before them between lifetimes. Some dead, in my belief, go to the abodes of the gods they have served during life if those connections are strong enough and if the god desires their continued service and companionship. The Poetic Edda and Snorri's Edda alike tell us that the battlefield dead are divided between Odin and Freyja, with Frejya getting first pick. (Ladies first, after all.)
But the draugr (singular) is in a category all his own. As depicted again and again in the Icelandic sagas, the draugar (plural) are "walkers" or "those who walk again after death."

Today's Hours: 10AM – 5PM
American, 1928–1987
"Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?"
Andy Warhol studied pictorial design in school and then moved to New York, where he became a commercial artist, illustrating magazines, designing window displays, creating advertisements, and designing book covers. He transitioned from commercial to fine artist in 1960, when he began appropriating comic-strip characters, Coca-Cola bottles, and Campbell's soup cans, catapulting him to the forefront of a new movement called Pop art. In 1963 Warhol opened his studio—known as the Factory—where he used screen printing to produce increasingly impersonal artwork that depicted commonplace objects, celebrities, and images from the media.Let Warhol inspire your students to: - Create a fun-foam stamp based on an object from their kitchen or classroom. - Use photo-editing software to manipulate the colors in a photograph of themselves. - Use paints to replicate the packaging of their favorite brand of cereal. - Make black-and-white photocopies of everyday objects, and then paint over them with acrylic paint. - Choose an iconic work of art and alter it with paint or collage. - Use the copy machine to create a small magazine (a "zine") featuring their personal art and writing. - Create a lino print or Styrofoam print, and then turn it into a 3-D object.Books for students:Uncle Andy's: A Faabbbulous Visit with Andy Warhol, James WarholaUncle Andy's Cats, James WarholaGetting to Know the World's Greatest Artists: Andy Warhol, Mike VeneziaAndy Warhol: Pop Art Painter, Susan Goldman RubinFabulous!

"Loved my daughters 1st bday invites. The designs provided were excellent. I appreciated the sophisticated yet whimsical choices. As always, the print & paper quality was top of the line. Lastly, love that you provide a designer review! We will not shop anywhere else."
"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."
"The pictures I chose turned out great. They arrived 3-4 days earlier than the date given to me on the confirmation e-mail. I've already had 4 compliments on them from family/friends who have received an invitation. I definitely plan on using tiny prints again in the future."
"This card looks absolutely stunning! I ordered with the pearl look and I cannot be happier. The design goes great with my vintage chic theme. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"I love everything about this card. The color is slightly different than the picture shown, but the quality is really great. It makes for a great invitation."

Graphic Dimensions Leaps into Label Market with HP Indigo
PALO ALTO, CA—January 30, 2012—HP today announced that Graphic Dimensions, a U.S.-based printing company headquartered in Atlanta, installed an HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press to expand its business and form a new labels division, Dimension Labels.
As Graphic Dimensions scouted for a way to diversify and grow its business, it saw opportunity in the thriving labels and packaging industry. The company, which traditionally prints business and marketing documents, moved its Atlanta location to a larger 65,000-square-foot facility nearby to make room for supplementary label printing services in November 2012. The new facility is spacious enough to house its current equipment, the newly added HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press, as well as more presses in the future.
"We are expecting the division to increase our sales by 30 percent in its first year," said Bill Reid, director of marketing, Graphic Dimensions. "We have been pleasantly surprised by the response received since launching Dimension Labels and look forward to growing even more throughout 2013."
The web-fed HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press prints at a top speed of 130 linear-feet-per-minute in Enhanced Productivity Mode, generating labels with superior quality at the highest crossover point versus analog for most jobs. The press also supports the widest media range, so Graphic Dimensions can print on a variety of synthetic and paper substrates from 0.5- to 18-points thick.
Along with speed and versatility, another deciding factor for Graphic Dimensions was color quality and registration. HP Indigo matches up to 97 percent of the PANTONE® color gamut with a maximum of seven ink stations on the press. Additionally, One Shot Color technology ensures that each print matches exactly to the next while laying down all color separations simultaneously in a single pass.
"The color quality of our labels is an essential part of our business," said Reid. "The registration using the HP Indigo WS6600 is perfect on every single label with no dot gain. That was a big selling point for us."
Developing a new dimension
With no previous experience in labels and packaging, Graphic Dimensions invested in a robust marketing plan to attract new clients and hired knowledgeable industry veterans to oversee the division. The company promotes the flexibility of digital print and allows the capabilities of the HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press to speak for itself.
Variable data printing on the HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press enables Graphic Dimensions to print unique text, barcodes as well as images on consecutively printed labels without the effort and cost associated with plate changes used in flexographic printing processes. In the first month of opening Dimension Labels, the company received orders with more than 20 different SKUs, which would have been expensive to produce on a traditional analog press.
"The key to gaining new business is educating our distributers on the power of what digital can do for labels," said Reid. "With the HP Indigo WS6600, we have the flexibility to offer just-in-time manufacturing, seasonal labels and the ability to change products as needed to effectively adapt to market conditions."
Graphic Dimensions also leaned on HP experts to help guide it through the uncharted territory.
"We found that HP has a very strong infrastructure," said Reid. "We talked with people from HP throughout the process, from preplanning to marketing and sales support. With HP, you are partnering with the company as opposed to just buying a piece of equipment."
HP business development teams assist customers in every aspect of investment in order to maximize profitability. HP offers educational services and resources, through programs such as HP Capture as well as the HP users group Dscoop, to keep print service providers informed while helping them grow their business. Graphic Dimensions is a member of Dscoop and looks forward to attending the annual conference, Dscoop8, in Nashville this February 21-23.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by symbol, Dec 10, 2010.
What's up with his career?
Isn't he coaching in the US? Did he get banned from coaching in Canada or something?
I don't know.. maybe Lloyd and Morozov should coach together?
There was something about him in the USFSA magazine about a year ago. He was going to compete in pairs at adult nationals with another coach. I can't remember what they said about his personal life.
He still has a career?
Here's a March 2010 Los Angeles news video profile of a young skater co-coached by Eisler: http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/s...Thrive_on_SoCal_Ice__Part_1__Los_Angeles.html
They planned to, but he injured his shoulder (and I think needed surgery) so they were unable to compete last year. Haven't heard if they are planning to compete this year.
Eisler was banned from coaching in Canada for sending sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old student. Here are some of the news stories about the one-year coaching ban:
Eisler subsequently had an affair in 2006 with Kristy Swanson on the Skating With Celebrities TV show, while his wife was 8 months pregnant, married Swanson, and now has a 2-year-old son. He is coaching at the Pickwick Ice Area in Burbank, CA.
All of this is well-publicized.
WHAT!? Why would the US federation allow him to coach, either?
I'm surprised he and Kristi are still together.
The background check USFSA requires only considers criminal convictions and arrests/pending trials. I don't believe Eisler was ever arrested; I think it was an internal investigation by Skate Canada. So that is not something that would be on his 'permanent record'.
I'm disappointed that he turned out like that. I always enjoyed his and Isabelle's skating.
He was recovering after his surgery pretty well, but then she injured her hip and had to have her own surgery. The dangers of pairs skating in your 40's!!
He recently joined the new owners of the Valley Ice Center in Panorama City, CA, as director of the skating school. Previous director dropped when Eisler came on the radar screen of the new owners - sort of unfair to her. Will be interesting to see if parents object, given his "character" issues. Meanwhile, it seems like a weird move for him, given that the VIC appears to be significantly increasing its focus on hockey.


text: The offense began slipping mid to late third quarter and all we got was a steady diet of Stuckey shooting and Monroe holding the ball away from the basket. Some might think Robinson won the game. Not really. Yes, the coach should have tried Knight sooner. I agree. But in the NBA, guys do hit shots. The problem was on the OTHER end. Teams have to keep scoring--not like football with a defensive stand. Look at OKC. And so, Maxiel finds his way back in the game for a team who already wasn't scoring. Sometimes you have to roll the dice and get a shooter in there even if your defense is a bit compromised. At least, go down swinging. Stuckey is just not a go to guy in the 4th quarter. And once again, Monroe has to get a shot so that Drummond can be kept on the floor. Who is coaching Monroe on his shot??

The establishment of a modern secular Turkey nearly a hundred years ago marked an important turning point in the history of Middle Eastern Islamic practices. The Turkish constitution made clear that no party which endeavored to establish religious doctrine as the basis of Turkish law was to be allowed to exist. Turkey's Constitutional Court is presently hearing charges levied by the Public Prosecutor to close down the Justice and Development Party(AKK) on grounds it has violated the constitution by its pro-religious efforts. Yush Kanli, writing in the Turkish Daily News who regards himself as a believer in secularism expressed his opposition to the effort to close down the AKP. "Some have gone to the extent of accusing me of 'betraying the secular democratic Republic."
He writes with passion, "Self-catering democrats, self-catering secularists, self-caterng supporters of individual rights and liberties may not of course comprehend the need to demand justice for all, equality of all in the need to demand justice for all, equality of all in front of justice, to oppose all anti-democratic moves without discrimination and e ven to be able to say, 'if in principle I am against closure of political parties by a military junta or by by the Constitutional Court, I am against–in principles- the closure of the AKP as well through like many people I have very strong doubts that the ruling party has an agenda incompatible with the secular democratic Republic."
Kanli raises the important issue of respecting the right of free speech of those you believe may well seek to destroy free speech. He believes the AKP is aware of past history in which other Islamist parties were closed down and will be careful to avoid angering secularist institutions such as the Army and the Constitutional Court. We hope he is correct and agree with his views on democracy for all viewpoints.

i loved my moe, it always went bang. i sold it to my father in law so i could afford to buy my hk uspc .40 and i sold it to him so i could still shoot it when i wanted too
Actually, it's been home for nearly a week now. Obviously, I've been having way to much fun at the range breaking him in!
Overall, I've been very happy with the performance of the Sig Mosquito. Ergos for my 5' 8"-avg build is perfect, and being a P226 fan, the controls are right where they should be. Right out of the box at ranges of up to 15 yds, the .22s are going precisely where I what them to. DA trigger pull is definitely heavy, but I have no complaints in SA - once I figure the pull for the 1st round outta the mag, my accuracy should go up a notch.
Reliability-wise, I am encountering the typical Skeeter issues. The first 250 rds on the lighter spring was near flawless, with only one FTF (hangup on the chamber's lip). I have gone another 150 rounds on the heavier spring and I had eight of them (six as described above and two weird ones where the round wasn't even pulled from the magazine; never seen that one before).
Countering this, I am (for now) enjoying the occasional failure. Today, while cycling my 100 rds, my ability to identify a failure and recover from it had improved considerable. Relearning this skill will no doubt serve me when I move up to a more traditional caliber for home-defense.
Initially, I thought my plan was using "Moe" for a few months, then trade in. However, I have really learned a lesson in economics in these six days. Four 100-count boxes of MiniMags at $9 a box vs range reloads of 9mm going for $15 per 50 rds. I think that thought was running thru my mind when I bought the Laserlyte V2 that's you can see attached to the rail as well as an additional ridiculously-priced magazine!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping it.
Sig Mosquito... and proud of it!!!

Unfortunately for the second-year Thrashers, the NHL season isn't 40 games long. After a rousing first half that saw them at .500 before their loss to Washington on New Year's Day, Atlanta has spiraled downward with a 7-26-6-1 mark. Their dream of playoff contention has since evaporated.

There are seasons when the month of December is mostly for fine-tuning, when the Carolina rotation is set and the holidays are mostly about avoiding injury.
This year, as Saturday's 93-87 win over East Carolina showed, is not one of those years.
Ever since the fall, Roy Williams has been adamant that this is a different team, that the Tar Heels' usual reliance on the post may have to wait until one of the big man trio--Desmond Hubert, Brice Johnson or Joel James--develops into a suitable complement to James Michael McAdoo, who is more comfortable playing facing the basket.
No matter how much the head coach says it, though, it's still a little jarring to see it in action on the Smith Center court. The midpoint of December has passed, and the Tar Heel rotation remains unsettled. And that's true almost as much on the perimeter, where Dexter Strickland has occasionally been more efficient at point guard than Marcus Paige, as it is in the post.
That mix will be tested again tomorrow night at Texas, as the Longhorns are 86-3 at home against nonconference opponents since the beginning of the 2002-03 season. As is typical of a Rick Barnes-coached team, Texas is stingy on defense, ranking second in the nation in field goal percentage defense and allowing opponents to hit just 24.0 percent from the three-point line.
That means Carolina will need to put five players on the score who can figure out a way to get the ball in the basket, but even ten games into the season, it's not enitrely clear which five those might be. Reggie Bullock says he's noticed that the rotation is still coming into focus, and that this team is more fluid at this point in the season than past squads.
"It's taken a little longer than usual," he said. "At the five position we can go with Joel, Brice or Desmond, and those three are totally different players, which changes what we do."
What Bullock didn't mention is that there are also times when none of the three young big men are on the court--and that might even be the best Carolina lineup. Bullock is UNC's second-best rebounder (5.0/game) and P.J. Hairston's newly found aggressiveness getting to the goal gives the Tar Heels a slashing element the offense needs.
By a wide margin, Hairston and Strickland are Carolina's second- and third-most frequent free throwers, an area where the Tar Heels have created a significant amount of offense in the past, but are lagging this season (Carolina has shot 165 free throws this season; opponents have attempted 163).
After ECU shot 27 free throws to Carolina's 24 on Saturday despite shooting almost twice as many three-pointers as the home team, Tar Heel letterman--and Pirates head coach--Jeff Lebo noted the change in this year's squad.
"One thing I know Coach (Williams) was disappointed with was how his team got to the free throw line," Lebo said. "A Carolina team usually makes more free throws than the opponent attempts. They have a different team this year. They're more perimeter oriented, and they have more three-point shooters on the court. Coach has done a great job of adjusting to that and playing to the strengths."
Whether Williams agrees with that assessment of his performance so far this season is debatable. "The head coach at North Carolina needs to do a better job," he said on Saturday afternoon, and he juggled his rotation often in the closing minutes of a tight game against the Pirates, trying to find the right mix. The Tar Heels made eight substitutions in the final 2:40, including using J.P. Tokoto for defense.
The increased role for Tokoto, who played only five minutes as recently as the UAB game and just seven at Long Beach State, is especially intriguing. The Wisconsin native is not a long-range threat, but he showed a knack for getting to the rim against the Pirates and shot five-of-five from the field. Most importantly from Williams's perspective, the head coach has said Tokoto has enormous potential as an offensive rebounder, an area of critical need.
For now, Tokoto knows his job is simple: play well enough when given the opportunity in short bursts to earn even longer chances.
"Coach wants me to play good defense," he said after the ECU game. "Get on the boards and get out and run. It helps my confidence a lot to get that chance. We were up only four and he was putting me in as a freshman, and that feels great to see how much trust he has in me. It helps my confidence a lot."

If, like me, you have problems telling an s from an f or figuring out the meanings of dots, curlicues and lines, I've found the perfect sites to help dig your way through old documents.
One of my favorites is Robert Ragan's Treasure Maps—a site that's been around the Internet as long as I can remember. The reason I like Treasure Maps so much is because you can see actual examples of old handwriting, along with lessons on interpreting samples on your own. One of the keys to success, according to this site, is remembering that our ancestors often spelled phonetically.
Another excellent online resource is an article called Old Handwriting that was reprinted in the Illinois Genealogical Society Quarterly. Here, you'll find examples of design variations for most of the letters, including the 12 different looks for the letter h.
For you European researchers, a must-visit site is Old Handwriting Styles. This excellent collection of handwriting styles has examples of letters from the 16th through the early 20th centuries.
If you really want to test your skills, surf over to a free online course in English Handwriting, 1500-1700. Although there may be more here than you ever wanted to know about old handwriting, consider yourself an A+ student if you can successfully work your way through all 28 lessons.
Good luck!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Here is a quote from the Corvair Forum concerning the water decarboning.
"Posted by Ken Schifftner on August 16, 2002 at 13:26:45.
In Reply to: Re: Water in the carb debate posted by Matt N. on August 16, 2002 at 10:11:54.
I certainly agree with Matt.
We've done the water cleaning trick a couple or three times at the Coyote Club meetings. We even came up with a fogger nozzle that blows a mist into the carburetors (if the idea of pouring water slowly into them makes you squeamish). You don't want to hydraulically lock the engine with water.
What actually happens, I'm told, is that CO (carbon monoxide) is produced more than any blasts of steam. This technique is also used (sometimes with ammonia addition) on incinerators to help burn out carbon. Since extra CO is produced, you should certainly do this outdoors.
It does work.
An old mechanic who lived near me in NJ when I was growing up would start every tuneup with, first, an inspection of the plugs, then he'd replace them and do the decarbon ritual."
DMorris, I also remember when the thing to do was pour trans fluid in carb,60s-early 70s. It was supposed to clean carbon from everything. Also remember running 4 quarts oil and 1 quart trans fluid in engine to prevent sludge. Don't know how well all this worked but I did put 200,000 on a 66 289 before I sold it. Still had good power and used no oil between changed
|Well I'll definately agree that you can always tell which cylinders were leaking by the nice clean pistons. But I wonder if that's a result of the anti-freeze properties or would it create the same result if it was straight water.
I do agree that pouring water or and other thing down your carb is probably not a good thing, but I have changed a thousand blown headgaskets on a thousand cars in my career and every one of them had the most shiny and brand new looking piston top and combustion chamber from running with the steam in it. All the other cylinders would have carbon in them but not the one with the leak.
Just what I have seen, your results may vary. (but I doubt it!)

|I've done the water trick too.Had a 305 w/ 200,000mi on it held the rpms up slowly poured water down it,it stumbled blew a black soot cloud out ran better for a littlr while.Don't think I'd try it on any of my good motors though.
|i know this is a hotrod forum but qjets are the best for offroading too. small primaries and a central float boal make for good off idle throttle response and less stalling at severe angles.
|While on the topic of pouring stuff down your carb, I remember way back when I was still in school pouring trans fluid down the carb and smoking out all your neighbors. Anyone else remember doing that. I think if I can still remember it was supposed to clean your valves or something, I just liked the smoke. Used to have to drive the car around the block a few times when done.
Like I said I have never taken one apart after doing the water thing so I'm sure that your experieince has more clout than my speculation. I can say that the truck did run better after I did it but that might not have been due to a reduction in carbon.
As for the Corvair, there is documented proof that it works in this high temperature engine. There are hundreds of Corvair nuts like myself that have done it with great success. They are built to run hot. The concern and warning is alway that if your doing it and you kill the engine you'll never start it again.
Thanks for all the comments. I always learn something here. I looked into water injection and found an interesting site. http://website.lineone.net/~dave.cushman/mannject.html This might work for those on a budget that have detonation problems. Might improve gas milage too.
|4 Jaw Chuck
I hope I don't sound preachy but after seeing hundreds of motors apart including mine I don't think anything can prevent carbon buildup. Your right about water injection working wonders on high compression engines, I have used it myself with excellent results. Guess what, those engines had the same carbon buildup as any other I had built. This leads me to believe that water has no effect on reducing carbon buildup.
If done carefully I don't think it really hurts anything but the potential of causing real harm if you inadvertantly kill the engine with excess water and the cold water hit a hot ring.....you get the picture. The same goes for those pour in combustion chamber cleaners, I have yet to see one that works better than plain old diesel fuel poured into a cold engine with the plugs out and cranking it with the starter.
Just my opinion.
BTW if you want a clean engine, switch to alky.....zero deposits in the combustion chamber but lots of condensation in the oil.
|Dave E Shank
|Hey Mertz; Glad to hear you got the old Quadrajet working. I got mine fine tuned, although it is a little hard starting when cold but I still think it is the best carb for street use. I never heard of putting water down the carb but I have learned a lot on this site about new things. Only thing that bothers me is that you see a post a sometimes never hear from the guy again. I wonder if he didn't do himself in??? Dave E Shank
If spraying water down the carb is bad then why are people installing water injection. I am not talking about dumping a gallon of water down the carb of a hot engine. I am applying a controlled spray of water in more of a heavy mist.
I agree that a cold liguid suddenly applied to a hot metal part like a ring could crack it. Theoretically the water becomes steam as it enters the combustion chamber so it is never really a cold liquid.
4jaw Thanks for the history of the battery on the concrete. I always wonder where these things come from. I remember jar batteries but didn't know they used glass batteries in cars.
hey, neat trick. 4jaw-if thats an old wives tale how come it seems like every time i pick up a battery that i left on the garage floor it's always dead? i know plastic is an insulator so ?
[ August 16, 2002: Message edited by: bullheimer ]

|4 Jaw Chuck
.......and cracking a ring. This is one of those things that many people do and never get into any trouble but.......one out of every 1000 or so crack a ring doing this, pouring any liquid down the carb is an invitation to disaster. Yea I know people have been doing it for years but every engine I've torn down needed bead blasting to remove the carbon from the piston domes, I doubt the water gets very much out. Mostly the black you see coming out of the exhaust pipe is the soot that has accumulated in the muffler, not carbon in the engine. I hate to be a party pooper but......This is like the "don't ever put a battery on concrete" wifes tale that never seems to die. I wouldn't do it - ever. A good hard run on the highway will unfoul the plugs just as efficiently.
In case your wondering where the battery fairy tale came from, they used to make battery cases out of glass and the were much heavier than they are today due to the heavy plates. Ever try to put a 150 pd chunk of thin hollow glass down gently on concrete? It would be kind of like trying to put down a full fish tank.
|Dumping water down the carb while the engine is running is one of the best ways of getting rid of all that nasty carbon...
I have been working on a Corvair for a couple of years and have spent a lot of time on the Corvair forum. This is a standard recommendation for cleaning carbon out of an engine. The idea is that it creates steam in a hot engine that loosens the carbon that then goes out the exhaust. The Corvair runs at about 350 degrees so it is pretty effective in making steam.
I have seen other people recommend this proceedure on "standard" engines as well. I figure give it a try it couldn't hurt. I did this with a tank type sprayer when I first got the truck and it seemed to smooth up the idle right after I did it.
Keep the revs up and spray in the water with a garden sprayer until you have put in about a quart. Take it out for a good hard drive (the fun part) and your done. Someday when I need to pull heads I will try this just before I pull them. Some people recommend putting in a little alchohol.
I'm not sure this is a good idea on computer controled cars. It will probably mess up some sensor.

2013: Kennard, who has started at defensive end and linebacker earlier in his career, returns after missing 2012 with an injury and figures to start at outside linebacker as a senior in 2013.
2012: Kennard was slated to start at defensive end as a senior in 2012, but he tore a chest muscle just before the season started and had surgery, which sidelined him for all of 2012 and allowed him to redshirt.
2011: Kennard started 5 games (Utah, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Oregon) at defensive end as a junior in 2011 and rotated into the action frequently in the other 7 games. After starting at middle linebacker in 2010, he was moved back to defensive end, his original position, following 2011 spring drills. Overall in 2011 while appearing in 12 games, he had 29 tackles, including 4 for losses (with 2 sacks, one which resulted in a safety). He missed 2011 spring practice while recuperating from a 2010 hip injury. He had 5 tackles (with a sack) against Stanford, 4 tackles against Minnesota and Arizona and 3 tackles against Syracuse and Arizona State. His sack against Washington resulted in a safety.
2010: Kennard started USC's first 8 games at middle linebacker as a sophomore in 2010 and was an often-used backup the rest of the season. Overall in 2010 while appearing in all 13 games, he had 72 tackles, including 7 for losses (with 2 sacks), plus 1 interception and 1 deflection. After the season, he had arthroscopic surgery for torn cartilage in his hip. He had surgery on his left thumb prior to 2010 spring practice.
