University Records
These materials are comprised of records created by administrators,
faculty, staff, students, and alumni in their various official
capacities. The collection consists of historical records of each of
Lesley University's programs and departments. The collection also
contains publications by the university and Lesley students, including
Ph.D. dissertations.Collection Highlight.The Archives has collected the records of
the university's most innovative programs and courses of study that have
had a profound impact on higher education in America. These collections
include the following:
The records reflect the philosophy behind the programs, the
curriculum development, the recruitment of distinguished faculty and
field practitioners, and the development research projects. These
collections are important not only for the history of the university but
also for the history of higher education in America.
The photograph collection contains over 10,000 items, including black
and white and color photographs, slides, film negatives, and contact
sheets from the early twentieth century to the present that document
Lesley University. Subjects range from student life, building projects,
faculty and staff, commencement, and campus and alumni events.
Oral Histories
This collection consists of over 50 interviews conducted by a professional oral historian with faculty, staff, alumni, professor emeriti,
and other professionals associated with the university. There are
approximately 300 hours of interviews. The oral history project began in
2007 and is ongoing; approximately 20 interviews are added to the
collection each year.
Collection Highlight. One of the strong subject areas covered in the
oral history collection is Lesley's role in the open education movement
in America during the second half of the twentieth century. Interviews
were conducted with former faculty and Professors Emeriti
who are internationally recognized scholars of the open education
movement. In addition, personal papers and publications of these faculty
were collected, including those of Nancy Langstaff, Professor Emerita
and scholar of the open education movement, detailing her experience as
the Kindergarten teacher at the White House during the Kennedy
Rare BooksThis collection contains rare
books on a variety of subjects, including obscure texts related to the
pedagogy of early childhood education and rare art magazines and
published artist folios from the university's art school.
Collection Highlight. Within the rare book collection there is a
collection of curriculum books that date to the first decade of the
university's existence, when it was called the Lesley Normal School, a
Kindergarten and elementary teacher training school exclusively for
women. During this time, students were required to study the pedagogy
developed by Friedrich Froebel, founder of the modern Kindergarten
movement, in which children's artist expression was cultivated through
various art "occupations," such as painting, sewing, and paper folding.
Lesley students were required to create curriculum books of the Froebel
Occupations, which they would use, after graduation, as a basis for
their Kindergarten classes in public schools and settlement houses
across the United States.
The books, of which only 12 survive, are of exquisite detail and beauty
and demonstrate the skill necessary not only for Kindergarten teachers
during the turn of the twentieth century but also for Lesley Normal
School students. In addition, the curriculum books give an insight into
the history of women in academia, showing the kind of work required by
female professors of their female students.
ObjectsThis collection includes a variety of objects from
textiles to jewelry; from ceremonial ceramic plates to sliver platters;
and from metal typefaces to silk embroidery art.Collection Highlight. The Archives has collected several textiles
from the first half of the twentieth century, including a long, pleated
gym suit and leather shoes from the 1930s, a wool blazer with the
Lesley seal embroidered on the front breast pocket from the 1950s, and
small collection of green wool beanies that freshmen were required to
wear. These textiles give a glimpse into the daily lives of students at
an all women's institution in the early twentieth century.
Audio Visual Collection
This collection is composed of video and audiotapes of various campus
events, including commencement, Lesley-related on-air interviews, and
media stories.
Manuscript CollectionsThis collection includes personal
papers related to the distinguished careers of faculty and alumni based
on subject-area interests (i.e., politics, leadership, teaching, art,
psychology, business, and entertainment).
Collection Highlight. Within the manuscript collection there is
correspondence between Cambridge artist Maude Morgan, who was a Trustee
of the university's art school, and artist John von Wicht. Morgan and
von Wicht were at Yaddo, an artist community in Saratoga Springs, New
York, together in the summer and fall of 1956. The correspondence
includes drawings by both artists.

State transportation departments trying to meet their purchasing requirements for alternative-fuel vehicles now have more options, thanks to a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) rule issued March 20.
Since 2000, when the department issued a rule under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, states have had to ensure that 75 % of the light-duty vehicles that they buy each year are powered by either ethanol (E85) or compressed natural gas
There was just one problem: lack of access to these vehicles by states on both coasts, which need them the most.
Chrysler and Ford's E85 models don't meet California's Clean Air standards, which are tougher than federal requirements (and form the basis of some other states' requirements). What's more, there's only one natural-gas-powered light-duty vehicle on the market: the Honda Civic GX.
Congress responded to this problem by requiring the DOE to develop an alternative-feul compliance program. Beginning this year, states can use hybrids and low-idle vehicles to meet "gasoline-displacement" requirements for light-duty vehicles. And, for the first time, they can apply medium-and heavy-duty trucks that run on propane and compressed natural gas toward the requirement.
DOE technology specialist Linda Bluestein says that to make advantage of the alternative-compliance program, states must submit applications to the department explaining how they compute their petroleum-reduction goals and their strategy for meeting them (see link).
Unlike states, cities and counties aren't subject to alternative-fuel purchase requirements--yet.
In another rule issued on the same date, the DOE pushed back by two decades--from 2010 to 2030--the date by which the United States must replace 30% of the petroleum and diesel it's currently using with alternative fuels. To meet that goal, the DOE is considering whether local governments should be subject to the same 75% alternative-fuel-vehicle purchase mandate to which states are subjected.
The department has until Sept. 6 to make a preliminary decision on that issue.
In the meantime, some fleet managers want the department to include them in the mandate.
If that happens, figures Kevin Herdler, director of fleet and building services for Kirkwood, MO. (population: 28,000), the federal government would offer financial incentives to help local governments afford alternative-fuel vehicles, which are more expensive than their gasoline and diesel-powered counterparts.
Three of Kirkwood;s 20 pickup trucks are fueled by compressed natural gas and Herdler, who's also director of the St. Louis regional Clean Cities program, would like to buy more. But the city could use some help with the $6000 to $8000 price premium.

Grants Fund Infarstructure in Disadvantaged Areas
The Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration is accepting grant applications from cities and counties in its Public Works and Economic Development Investments Program.
Established in 1965, the program funds improvements in water and sewer systems, industrial access roads, industrial and business parks, port facilities redevelopment of brownfields, and eco-industrial facilities in "distressed" areas.
Although grants typically cover half of a project's total cost, they can go higher.
Coachella, Calif., recently received $2.5 million to fund roadway and water and sewer system improvements necessary to expand its Rancho Coachella Industrial park. Another $1.5 million went to York, S.C. to upgrade the city's Fishing Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Each of the Commerce Department's six regional offices decides whether a project is qualified based on a city's unemployment rates, per capita income, and special needs.
Eligible activities include acquiring or developing land for a public works, public service, or development facility; and acquisition, design and engineering, construction, rehabilitation, alteration, expansion, or improvement of publicly owned and operated development facilities, including related machinery and equipment."

On Saturday the 08th June 2013 at around 2000hrs in the Gache Gache River at the Mudzimu Harbour, two people are suspected to have been attacked by a crocodile and one of them managed to swim to safety whilst the other one could not swim and his body could not be located.
Meanwhile the body which went missing as a result of a suspected crocodile attack has been found. Latest reports are that the body of Luckson Kugara was recovered on the 11th of June 2013. The body was found floating in the Gache Gache area. Because foul play is suspected, relatives of the deceased have since taken the body of the deceased to the house of Itayi Nyoni who survived in this incident. Meanwhile Police have since collected the body for post-mortem. Investigations are continuing.
The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority Gillnet fishing regulations do not allow fisherman to be in the waters during the night. The practice of getting into the waters at night has resulted in a number of fishermen risking their lives.
In another report, another male person identified as Edward was attacked by a hippopotamus in the Tsuwa area of Gache Gache last night of the 09th of June 2013 and sustained injuries. Meanwhile the person has been reported to have been taken to Kariba Hospital.
The Authority will continue to concertize communities on the dangers associated with engaging in illegal fishing activities.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi Birdface, I would not advise intentionally steering into harms way for educational purposes. My observation is that most sailors have no idea what weather looks like, probably because their concepts have been shaped by weather on land, a few hundred hours of underway experience, and sailing mostly in local bay and off-shore conditions. My concept of really nasty weather was shaped by navigating Navy destroyers through several typhoons in the Pacific, once in the dangerous semicircle. "The Perfect Storm" movie comes closest to giving you a vicarious taste. While squalls pass relatively quickly, they can promote radically different seas with rain sometimes driving parallel to the surface (into your eyes -- ouch); worse, winds can change radically as the center passes. Few sailors can manage canvas under such conditions. Although a squall might not sink you, it can leave the crew on deck both shaken and stirred -- not to mention bruised and humbled .
Regarding your excursion, the farthest off shore I have been in a monohull is about 120 nm while sailing with friends one June up to the Vineyard from Pax River in an open-cockpit 38 footer. My luck, we got 3 days of gale all the way up to Gay Head. Seas were generally 8 to 12. Winds were so strong that despite the rock-n-roll we were averaging 6+ kts SOG on the 3rd reef with the jib furled. The second gale day, roughly 50 nm off shore, the CG asked mariners to look for survivors of a 40-foot monohull that went down in our area. Nobody found them. Though nasty, any experienced crew could safely handle such seas, so we speculated that the crew must have been unprepared for the weather. In weather, panic can have the same effect as an open hatch on the focsle.
The best way to gain weather experience is probably through unavoidable acts of nature; not by looking for trouble.
I'd agree about the visibility from the cabin. Most multihulls have fairly good visibility in most directions, but you may have to move around the cabin a bit to get the best view. Many monohulls have huge blind spots, making going below a different story.
As for the anchorage in question, I don't know the name of it and would have to check my logs to find it, since we followed our friend's boat there. However, were were anchor in probably 10-15' of water. We were probably less than 200' from the monohull I described. There were several other monohulls, which didn't seem to be affected to the same degree, but these were much beamier designs. Also, the boats were not all pointed in the same direction—Chris's boat and mine were, but Chris's boat was only 60-75' away from us.
Thanks guys. Now I have to convince my wife that we should turn out to see when those dark clouds approach so I can get experience
I've been heaving to regularly, but never in the kind of conditions we're discussing. I'm just excited to get out and get some experience under my belt so I can captain a boat through anything that might be thrown at us.
This year I hope to take a few 50+ nm trips up to Maine and to the tip of Cape Cod this season, so I'm trying to read up on the possible issues that might pop up.
Thanks for the advice.
|Not to restart a squabble, but Sailingdog might've seen what he seen, yet Plumper might have a technical point as well. Both the Gemini and the Telstar draw less than 18 inches of water, so we often anchor close to shore. In shallow anchorages, we are often protected from wind and seas by the lay of the land, whereas keeled monohulls in deeper anchorages farther out in the same bay may be getting pounded. That might explain Sailingdog's observation. That is, it may not be that multihulls are impervious to rolling, so much as we get to park in more protected anchorages. Just a thought.
|I read the Pardey's book several times. However, their book is based on monohull experiences. I would love to hear from a multihull sailor who has tried their methods. However, that might be better left for another thread. Back to the squall thread, my multihull rolls over waves different from monohulls because we sail on the water vs "in" the water. With boards up (assuming you have catamaran with boards and not a keel), we slip easily with a beam wind. Also, our multiple hulls each clear a wave independently and relatively more quickly than a cruising monohull. In Navy sailing school, I was taught to take powerboat wakes bow on to avoid violent rolls. Doing that in a catamaran can make for a noteworthy pitch, but if you shorten the angle on the wake to around 45 degrees, most wakes roll underneath unnoticed by passengers. One might assume that in a squall, dropping the canvass, raising the boards, and going into the salon for coffee might be quicker, less fuss, more comfortable, and safer than heaving to (as long as there is no visible land leeward of the squall to whack into before the she blows over). BTW, this would not be abandoning the helm. From most catamaran salons you can see 360 sitting comfortably. Unless you have a deck salon -- all you can see from inside most monohulls, if you are standing, is what's abeam of you. I regularly dine with the crew underway, and use my remote to avoid traffic if I see any. You can't do that in a monohull, even a DS, because heeling alters your view of the horizon. Thus, my request for multihull contributions to the thread. We really are different in many respects.
Bird...that is why I said lying ahull in a SQUALL might be better than carrying sail in a heave to mode. What will knock a boat lying ahull over is the combination of wind and waves and the hull getting sideways to the waves.
In a short lasting squall...you don't get the waves as they do not have the time to build that a real storm will. In a squall it is the wind that will knock you down and stripping sail can prevent that. I agree with the Pardey's that in a real storm situation you don't want to lie ahull except as a last resort.

They (the Pardeys) go to great lengths to show how they personally have heaved to in boats with most of the different hull and rudder combinations around today.

Some conditions are such that having any sail up is going to be too much sail. Thunder squall lines, at least the ones I've seen, are capable of generating winds over 50-60 MPH, and can often shift direction very quickly. There aren't too many boats that would do well trying to sail in those conditions IMHO.
Interesting. In the video and subsequent reading I did they said absolute last resort was dropping all sails and that lying ahull was the ONLY time in the last thirty years that they'd actually been knocked down.
They say to leave some small storm sail up because it balances the boat and they are serious advocates of the drogue anchor/parachute anchor. (but only at a 45 degree angle and only with some sail and heaving to.
Regardless... I need to become more comfortable sailing 100's of miles off shore and then I can understand going below for any more than a few minutes at a time while under sail or drift.

All Android applications categories
by: TeslaCoil Software • 1M
Published: 2014-12-02, by Manu Galvez.
TeslaCoil Software's Nova Launcher has been around since Android Ice Cream Sandwich but it's been tuned since then, widening its functionality and adapting it to every new Android OS. Nova Launcher is currently one of the most well-balanced launchers on Android regarding amount of features, usability, design and responsiveness.
Tweak it at your whim: amount of home screens, scroll effects, app drawer's grid size, gestures and buttons, icon size... And a zillion more options. Tune it to the limit.
Besides functionality, Nova Launcher has been enhanced regarding both design and performance: it feels neat, polished and smooth equal parts. The only thing missing is a theme store accessible and navigable from the app.
Regardless, one of the best launchers on the market so far.

Bryan Stow attackers now face federal weapons charges
Federal prosecutors file suit against convicted assailants
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The two men convicted of severely beating San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow now face federal weapons charges, according to court documents.
Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood pleaded guilty last month for their respective roles in the attack on Stow, a Santa Cruz resident. The pair brutally beat Stow in the parking lot of Dodgers Stadium after the opening season game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Giants in March 2011.
Sanchez was sentenced to eight years in prison for a felony charge of mayhem. Norwood received a four-year prison sentence for felony assault.
Earlier this week, federal prosecutors charged the pair with federal weapons charges for being felons in possession of firearms, according to the indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles,
Stow, 45, was a paramedic at the time. He suffered a traumatic brain injury in the attack and is still recovering.

Rectal prolapse occurs when part of the large intestine's lowest section (rectum) slips outside the muscular opening at the end of the digestive tract (anus). The prolapsed rectum can cause fecal incontinence. Surgery is usually needed to treat rectal prolapse.
Comprehensive care. People with rectal prolapse often have other types of pelvic organ prolapse. Mayo Clinic's integrated practice gives you rapid access to all the experts needed to solve your problems. If you need surgery, Mayo specialists work together so that in most cases you have only one procedure.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for digestive disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for digestive disorders by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals for digestive disorders.
At Mayo Clinic, colorectal surgeons examine the entire pelvis to determine the extent of your rectal prolapse and whether you need surgery.
One test — dynamic MRI — is particularly helpful in diagnosing and planning treatment for rectal prolapse. This noninvasive test scans the entire pelvis during a bowel movement and produces a video of the pelvic muscles and pelvic organs at work. Dynamic MRI also reveals prolapse in other pelvic organs, such as the bladder or vagina.
In its early stages, rectal prolapse may be treated with stool softeners, suppositories and other medications. But most people eventually need surgery to repair rectal prolapse.
At Mayo Clinic, colorectal surgeons work with other specialists as needed to treat any other pelvic organ prolapse you have. In most cases only one surgery is needed.
The type of surgery you have depends on the extent of the rectal prolapse and any other health concerns. Surgeons at Mayo Clinic will select the surgery that is right for you. They may recommend one of these procedures.
In children, rectal prolapse can usually be managed with stool softeners or other medication. If surgery is needed, Mayo Clinic surgeons have special experience in minimally invasive techniques.
Children with rectal prolapse should be screened for cystic fibrosis, since rectal prolapse can be a sign of that disease.
Mayo Clinic offers intensive outpatient biofeedback therapy, one type of physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction. Specially trained physiotherapists teach simple exercises that can increase anal muscle strength. People learn how to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, sense when stool is ready to be evacuated and contract the muscles if evacuation is inconvenient. Biofeedback therapy can be used before or after surgery. It may not eliminate the need for surgery, but it can make surgery more successful by helping to prevent rectal prolapse recurrence.
Insurers vary in their coverage of biofeedback therapy. Check your coverage before scheduling treatment.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Specialists in colon and rectal surgery at Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona coordinate the diagnosis and treatment of people who have rectal prolapse.

See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Mayo Clinic surgeons have made many advances in minimally invasive colorectal surgery to treat rectal prolapse. These procedures usually result in smaller incisions, less bleeding, quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays than does traditional surgery.
See a list of publications by Mayo Clinic doctors on rectal prolapse on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.

[Note: this post is cross-posted (with light editing) from the FOARP blog, and does not necessarily reflect anyone's views other than my own. All errors are mine – Gil]
[Note from Richard: This guest post does not necessarily reflect my own views.]
From my seat in a delightfully pretentious health-food restaurant (think Shanghai's Element Fresh, but Polish) thousands of miles from Chongqing I do not have much to add to analysis of the various goings on in the PRC Politburo, but I would like to draw attention to a few articles which, to me, strike the right cord, as well as adding a little barely-informed speculation of my own.
I think Sinostand's points – that the only remarkable things about the Bo case are that it involves the death of a laowai and that Bo's wrongdoings, unlike those of other senior officials, have been acknowledged by the government – are very much correct. Had Bo Xilai been less obviously ambitious and more easily believable as a politburo bit-player, then it is impossible to believe that these accusations of corruption would have been directed against him.
The involvement of a foreigner in this case comes a long way second in this. It is very hard to believe that the investigation into Neil Heywood's death would have been "reinvestigated" (was it investigated the first time?) if Bo was not in disfavour. The fact that the investigation only followed what we must now call the "Chengdu incident" (Wang Lijun's apparent attempted defection), which itself came at a convenient time to ensure that Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang's main rival for the top spot was out of the way ahead of their coronation at the "Two Meetings", strongly suggests that it is part of an attempt to make Bo's name mud.
Incidentally, it also leaves a strong suspicion (in my mind at least) that Neil Heywood may not have been murdered. Indeed, I would not at all be surprised if, like the investigation into Ai Weiwei for tax evasion, the investigation was wound up without actually resulting in criminal charges. Since the China has the death penalty for murder (and many other crimes – including corruption), it would not at all be surprising if China's ruling class wished to avoid a trial ending in the execution of a former politburo member or his wife. It is also hard to believe that the British government will wish to press an issue which, for them, there is no up-side to.
The second article I would like to draw attention to is Jeremiah Jenne's latest post on Rectified.name. Jeremiah is definitely correct to say that the impact of this case will be that, in future, people will be far more willing to believe rumours about the various goings on of those in power now that so many of the initial rumours surrounding the "Chengdu Incident" have been confirmed by the PRC state media. A lot of people, myself included, had been inclined to pooh-pooh the Weibo rumour machine – particularly after the fiasco surrounding last year's supposed death of Jiang Zemin, which I was also initially taken in by. Reporting on rumours in China, so long as they are clearly marked as such, seems A-OK to me.
There's also a couple of lessons in this for China expats and China watchers:
– Stay away from the CCP and its affairs. I always get a sinking feeling when I hear of an expat going to work for the Chinese government, be it in a state media organ like China Radio International, or in some other capacity. A foreign passport is no protection against CCP shenanigans and you cannot expect your own government to press too hard when there are no immediate national interests in doing so. The line I was told in Nanjjing in 2003 about it being much worse to be falsely accused of spying than to be accurately accused of spying, since no government will be willing to arrange an exchange for a non-spy, remains very true.
– The essential political system of the People's Republic of China is still Leninist – that is to say, power is still reserved to a 'revolutionary vanguard party' exercising 'democratic centralism', or in plain language, a one-party dictatorship. Since 1989 it has been common for governing teams to serve a ten-year term, but this is in no way set in stone. If at any point it suits the top leadership of the CCP to give someone the shove this will be done regardless of public opinion or position – popular or not, seemly or not, and any weapon that can be used against them will be used – including, perhaps, allegations of murder.
Finally, Boxun (a Chinese emigre rumour-mill) is now carrying rumours (there's that word again) that Zhou Yongkang, the PRC Politburo's main enforcer, is next in line for attitude-correction, and that, as I had suspected since I first knew that the post-2012 politburo would include Bo in a non-top-two position, Bo may have been thinking of a coup:
"Insiders say Zhou had met Bo several times in Beijing, Chongqing and Chengdu, planning to prepare him for promotion to secretary of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee later this year. If the plan succeeded, they would potentially be able to take power from Xi Jinping, who is expected to take over as the party's general secretary, within two years. Zhou reportedly told Bo and Wang that Xi was too timid and thus not suitable to lead the country. He suggested Bo take advantage of his media power and public support to seize power by 2014."
If this report is true (something which is obviously unknowable at the moment), it appears that Bo and Zhou may well have gravely misjudged the Xi/Li team – or the people who picked them for power, the Hu/Wen partnership.

"Wheel Of Fortune" Screwed This Guy Out Of A Million Bucks

Some "Wheel of Fortune" fans are outraged, because a contestant on Tuesday night's episode named Paul had a chance to win a MILLION DOLLARS if he could solve the puzzle . . . and only one letter was still hidden.
And he DID come up with the correct answer, which was "Corner Curio Cabinet." (Pronounced "cure-ee-oh") But he pronounced the word "curio" as "KER-oh." Even Pat Sajak seemed surprised, and said the producers would listen to the replay to make sure they didn't cheat him. But they decided NOT to overturn their decision.

Hi, guys.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm about to begin my course, and my aspiration is to eventually teach in Seoul. I know that tattoos are generally frowned upon, and I have one of the Deathly Hallows on my right forearm and a Victoria Frances drawing on my left bicep. I have others, but nothing I can't cover up, and I can cover up both tattoos mentioned with a long sleeved shirt. Will some employers be more lenient, or are long sleeves my only option?
Thanks in advance!

look for a DCI
anyone know where I can get a cheap fal receiver. I'd love to do the 80% but I am not that ambitious. I don't want to spend that much to build the rifle. anyway let me know. thanks
look for a DCI
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
You cant get a cheap one anymore. DSA's are great, but expensive. DCI's should be great too, but as far as I know he is still working on them. Dont know what the price will be. If I'm wrong about that then I'm pissed, because I'm supposed to be on the email list and I haven't heard anything newer than that.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, because I am the baddest motherfu$@er in the goddamn valley.
lame, well then looks like I will be getting some other kit to build
sent a e-mail to harlan at nodakspud.com he said that they will be selling fal rec type 3 for about $250. he would not say when.
I don't think there is such a thing as a "cheap" fal build, I have 2 in process at the moment and they are breaking me!! I got a nice Israeil hb kit at knob creek and am also building a para model with 16" bbl from a stg58 kit. the receivers are from dsa as well as the compliance parts. it really adds up in the end!!
The Century receivers are still available for about $170, you won't get cheaper than that! However, they won't have as much resale value should you ever decide to part with it. A Century build is almost like starting with an 80% though.
I've had kits on hold waiting for DCI receivers ever since FAC went down the tubes. I think I paid $135 for the last Century receiver I got and used on a 45ACP Rhineland conversion.
My first FAL build, a G1, cost about $400 total and that was just a few years ago. The receiver and kit prices have really gone up for what you're getting.
" The world is a very dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about them." - Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
so isn't FAL like the recievers for AK and you have to have FFL and everything to even get started? I am in California and I have been working AK builds (in compliance) units, but I'm wondering if the great FAL of my dreams is out of reach unless I was to sell the ranch and move on.
My question at this point is what does it look like and what building is required?
This is my first FAL build. yes you need to get a receiver from an FFL dealer. I don't think a gun like this is ok for california!!Originally Posted by damnrancher

The most clearly plant-like algae, this species gets its namesake hue from high levels of chlorophyll.
Their cell walls are made up of cellulose, the same material that makes up the cell walls in larger, multicellular plants. Like plants, they store the food they make through photosynthesis as starches. Growing in large masses, these algae can form visible layers of slick, green scum on the surfaces and sides of ponds, puddles or damp soil.
Fossil records suggest that the first green algae originated 500 to 600 million years ago. Early algae probably gave rise to multicellular plants.

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
The water damage that you write about could also be the result of a leaking lid on the front water tank.The factory lid was plywood with a gelcoat surface on the the tank inside.Those tank lids rot and leak causing water to leak under the vee berth cushion and then to run down onto the sole in front of the head door.In my experience water running down the wire chase from the mast does not appear on the sole but rather runs down the compression post and rots the comp.post in the bilge.That is one of the things you or your surveyor should be looking for.
As the owner of an older C37 I'm intimately acquainted with both problems.

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
So if you are correct that the water entered thru the hatches over the forward berth and the salon I would tend to believe that water settled out on the sole and then worked its way into the bilges and was pumped out if the bilge pump(s) were active.
I have recently sprayed a lot of water into the boat while cleaning areas of teak prior to its first coat of varnish. It collects on the sole but ultimately finds its way into the bilge. So its quite possible that the only damage is what you have seen.
The interior of the Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37s are built on an internal liner, the settees and cabinets are all fiberglass so a sole replacement is actually quite straightforward when compared to many boats.

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
Regarding water coming down the mast: LeFiell has a good solution for this. We purchased a new mast step from them last year for $50 (jpg attached). It has drain holes, a proper standpipe and comes painted with LP. Talk to Rodney at LeFiell for details.
Getting the nuts off the bolts for the mast step and SS plate is another story.

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
Thanks for the input. Raindog, good to know about the extent of the sole (which was confirmed during a conversation my husband had with Thumper at PSC) Alan, We will also look further into the mast/wiring harness issue. There was no evidence that water had intruded to the point that the engine was affected. However, it is showing its age. Knowing we would be looking at older boats with age issues, we allowed for repowering in the budget. Lots of other cosmetic issues, but the owner is willing to negotiate with someone who will care about the boat and give her some TLC. That's us! We know there are lots of boats out there, but we are really sold on the features of this boat. Barring any nasty surprises at the survey, we hope to become happy owners of a soon to be beautiful again PS37! Thanks again to all who responded. This forum has been a good source of info as we were researching the boat.
Re: Water damage to cabin sole
It's the damage you can't see that scares me. I'd walk. Too many boats out there without these issues.

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
I had, what sounds like, a very similar leak. It turned out to be water filling up the inside of the mast (from trickling in from halyard lines) and then overflowing through the eye where the wiring harness goes down the center of the mast into the cabin. That little strip of wood was the give-away. Once I removed that I could see how the water followed the wiring harness. Since I keep my boat in Washington, NC PSC fixed it immediately. (There wasn't much damage to mine as I caught it pretty quickly). The long term solution is to drill two weep holes into the bottom of the mast in order to let the mast drain. This seems to be a common problem for a lot of people on many brands of boats. The wiring harness comes up through a short section of pvc pipe. The top where the wires comes through is usually plugged to prevent water from passing below, but you know how that goes over time. At any rate, who wants a mast full of water? ~Alan
Re: Water damage to cabin sole
By the time water is over the cabin sole, it is also over the oil fill on the engine, the dampner plate in the bell housing, and the vent on the clutch. You may have lots of price leverage with this boat. Use it wisely and you may have a real deal.

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
I agree with Faster, I'd keep looking. Depending on where and how the hatches are leaking, there may be issues on the deck surrounding the hatches, such as soft spots. If the leaks weren't causing so much damage to the interior, it might be worth the risk (and might be worth the cost of a survey or renting of a moisture meter). But you'll need to entirely fix the hatch leaks before you fix the cabin sole, and if you haven't budgeted for those repairs (including their impact on your usage of the boat), you may be in for a big surprize. If she's an otherwise remarkable boat, or a fa tastic deal, then maybe. Otherwise, keep looking.

Why Nakajima did not sign with Yankees
Japanese infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima is a classic example of the flaws in the posting process, the system used to transfer professional players between Japan and North America.
Nakajima, 29, wants to plays in the majors. His Japanese team, the Seibu Lions, posted him in December, indicating they were willing for him to leave — and willing to collect a posting fee from the highest bidder.
But Nakajima will not play in the majors in 2012, and Seibu will not collect a fee. Instead, Nakajima will return to Seibu after failing to reach a deal with the New York Yankees and become an unrestricted free agent after next season.
The Yankees won Nakajima's rights with a bid of $2 million, envisioning him in a utility role. Nakajima, who batted .297 with 16 homers, 100 RBI and 21 stolen bases for Seibu last season, wants to play every day.
His agent, Greg Genske, issued this statement Saturday:
"Nakajima has been one of the best, most highly regarded position players in Japan over the past several years, combining Gold Glove defense at shortstop with the ability to hit for power, hit for average and steal bases. At 29 years old, he is ready to begin a career in the Major Leagues. Unfortunately, he is going to have to wait a year.
"Under the posting system, Nakajima was permitted to negotiate only with the New York Yankees. While the Yankees are obviously a tremendous franchise and Nakajima was honored by their interest, the Yankees have All-Stars at every infield position, and from the outset it seemed dubious that they would have a role for him commensurate with his abilities and goals.
"Out of respect for the Yankees and for the process, we engaged in discussions, but it became clear that this was not a good fit at this stage of his career. Nakajima's decision had nothing to do with money; he just didn't feel that he would be using his abilities to the fullest and helping his club to the maximum extent possible in the role that the Yankees envisioned for him.
"It is unfortunate that Nakajima could not discuss opportunities with major league clubs having more suitable roles available, but that time will come. Nakajima is grateful to the Seibu Lions for posting him and to the New York Yankees for their interest."
The posting system was created in 1998 to ensure compensation for Japanese clubs that lost star players. Nakajima will be a free agent next year because players with nine or more years of service are exempt.
While waiting one more year does not appear to be a terrible outcome for Nakajima, a failure to reach agreement with a major league club had serious consequences for another Japanese player, right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma.
The Oakland Athletics won the rights to Iwakuma last offseason with a bid of $19.1 million. They offered him a four-year, $36 million contract, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. But the two sides did not reach a deal.
Iwakuma, 30, returned to his Japanese club, the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, but missed two months with a sore shoulder last season. His value dropped considerably; he recently signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Seattle Mariners.

Galvanized triangular hardware makes this one of our sturdiest swing seats. It is made with 70 EPDM rubber with insert to resist vandalism. EPDM: Ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer which is a synthetic rubber material which helps prevent crazing, cracking and oxidizing. It measures 6" x 24" x 5/16" thick. The seats insert has bent edges to prevent injuries from sharp edges and then encased in EPDM rubber. The seat should last 2 years in harsh conditions and up to 5 years in optimal conditions. Some conditions may require replacement sooner. **Installation, Safe Use and Maintenance Instructions** IMPORTANT: To keep children safe from harm, follow these precautions and instructions when installing, using, or maintaining this playground equipment. You can see this PDF.Installation: Make sure when seat is installed the warning label is visible. You will need to connect S-hooks or shackles from the triangular hardware on the seat to the chain and then S-hooks or shackles from the chain to the swing hangers. The seats need to be not more than 2 ft off the ground. Hangers need to be spaced 2 ft from the end of the set and 2 ft apart for each swing. You will need to make sure the S-hooks are closed to within .04 to meet ASTM safety standards. To do this you will need to use our S-hook pliers or a regular pair of channel lock pliers. WARNING: Once the S-hooks have been opened they will have to be replaced to avoid injuries from coming open and/or breaking. Make sure that the shackles used are tightened and if you use the shackle swing hangers for the chain that these also are tightened. Inspect regularly or use Loctite® to make sure bolt is still tight. Safe Use: This seat is for children 5-12 year olds only. Not for Adults. Adults should supervise children at all times. Do not allow children to stand on seat or use unsafely. Do not allow it to be used if damaged. Maintenance: Do monthly routine maintenance checks for cracks, rust, missing rivets, open S-hooks or evidence of vandalism such as cutting, metal showing through the material or children standing on seats and crushing or bending the seats. Make sure there are no exposed footings, anchoring devices, rocks, roots, holes or any other obstacles in or around playground equipment. This will reduce serious injuries. In high use areas these inspections should be done more frequently. Clean with mild soap and water when you do the monthly maintenance checks. Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.

HELP!! Mystery Oil Leak
I have just reassembled and reinstalled a completely rebuilt SBC in my ski boat. NAPA did the machine work - short block and heads separately. I It's a 92 5.7 350 - 285 HP. Reassembeled everything carefully - reinstalled in the boat, and I have a mystery leak. I'm getting a white oily substance coming out of the bell housing upper right - inspection / access plate. It's coming off the back of the plate, running down the bell housing and dripping off the bottom.
Now - there is no water in the oil, or trans fluid, both are clean and clear. There are no other oil leaks - filter, valve covers, sending unit, intake manifold, pan, drain plug, etc. The ONLY thing that makes sense to me at all is that one of the main galley plugs is leaking - as it's upper right which would put it just above the cam location where the plugs are anyway. I'm guessing that the white oily stuff is combo of pre lube from the build and the brand new oil. If that;s the case I'm going to have real issues with the NAPA machine shop. Does this make sense or are there any other options that it could be? Engine has run for a total of maybe 15 minutes. Problem is that to get to the flywheel etc will require to take the entire engine OUT of the boat again, and undo a lot of the 40+ hrs I have in putting it all back in place. I can send pictured if that would help.
ANY help here would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!
We just had a poster w/the same type of substance & it turned
out to be the assembly lube, so based on that, I would have to
say you have diagnosed the substance correctly, & no drought
the location of the leak as well.
Take care,

Planetary energy imbalance?
The recent paper in Science Express by Hansen et al (on which I am a co-author) has garnered quite a lot of press attention and has been described as the 'smoking gun' for anthropogenic climate change. We have discussed many of the relevant issues here before, but it may be useful to go over the arguments again here.
The key points of the paper are that: i) model simulations with 20th century forcings are able to match the surface air temperature record, ii) they also match the measured changes of ocean heat content over the last decade, iii) the implied planetary imbalance (the amount of excess energy the Earth is currently absorbing) which is roughly equal to the ocean heat uptake, is significant and growing, and iv) this implies both that there is significant heating "in the pipeline", and that there is an important lag in the climate's full response to changes in the forcing.
As we have discussed previously, looking in the ocean for climate change is a very good idea. Since the heat capacity of the land surface is so small compared to the ocean, any significant imbalance in the planetary radiation budget (the solar in minus the longwave out) must end up increasing the heat content in the ocean. This idea was explored by Levitus et al (long term observations of ocean heat content) and Barnett et al (modelling of such changes) in a couple of Science papers a few years ago. Since then, the models have got better (for instance, coupled models generally do not require 'flux corrections' to prevent excessive model drift any more), and the estimates of ocean heat changes, particularly over the last ten years have improved enourmously. The observational improvements come from incorporating satellite altimeter data (which mainly reflects changes in heat content) and, more recently, the ARGOS float network which is providing unparallelled coverage in sub-surface waters (particularly in the southern oceans). This implies that the estimates of ocean heat content changes over the last 10 years are the most accurate that we have had to date and thus provide a good target to compare against the models.
For their part, the model simulations that have been run for the IPCC AR4 have tried to simulate the climate of the last hundred or so years using only known and quantifiable forcings. Some of these forcings are well known and understood (such as the well-mixed greenhouse gases, or recent volcanic effects), while others have an uncertain magnitude (solar), and/or uncertain distributions in space and time (aerosols, tropospheric ozone etc.), or uncertain physics (land use change, aerosol indirect effects etc.). Given these uncertainties, modellers nevertheless make their best estimates consistent with observations of the actual forcing agents. The test for the modellers is whether they reproduce many of the elements of climate change over that period. Some tests are relatively easy to pass – for instance, we have discussed the model skill in response to the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in a number of threads.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Is avian conjunctivitis why sparrows, goldfinches are dying?
STACEY COLE | November 01. 2013 10:03PM
Avian conjunctivitis, is a bacterial infection, that, in some areas, has desiccated flocks of house finches. Other birds including purple finches, evening grosbeaks and pine grosbeaks, all members of the Fringilidae family, also have been susceptible to this virus. I believe our first column in Nature Talks about the eastern population of house finches dying by conjunctivitis appeared in 1996. It told about house finches and it has been and continues to be the one species of birds most severely affected. Occasionally we noted a few cases of the disease confirmed in American goldfinches. Also, for a number of years, the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, located at Sapsucker Woods in Ithaca, N.Y., has been closely tracking the spread of the bacterial infection causing conjunctivitis-ike symptoms in affected house finches. This project, referred to as "The House Finch Disease Survey," was unfortunately dropped a few years ago for lack of money to fund it.
While feeders are down, the feeding area beneath should be cleaned as best as can be done. If possible, allow any wet areas to thoroughly dry.One should watch for signs of disease by observing the actions of the birds that visit feeders. Diseased birds are usually lethargic and sit quietly with their feathers all puffed up. It does not take long for the bacteria to spread through its body and a bird will die quickly.

With Arsenal 10 games into the season, our statistician Josh James takes a look at various top 10 lists from 2012/13 so far - using Opta stats.
Carl Jenkinson and Mikel Arteta are the only two players to have played every minute of Arsenal's Premier League and Champions League campaigns so far (810 minutes).
Including the Capital One Cup, the Gunners have played 900 minutes of action this season, using 27 different players. This includes six debutants, taking the Club's all-time total of players to represent the first team to 809. The debutants are: Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud, Damian Martinez, Martin Angha and Serge Gnabry.
Incidentally these six players have also taken the total number of non-British and Irish players to turn out for Arsenal to 116.
Five players have started all seven league games this term (Jenkinson, Arteta, Cazorla, Kieran Gibbs and Podolski) while just four (Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and Francis Coquelin) have appeared in all three competitions. Giroud is the only player to have played a part in all 10 games so far this season.
The 19 players who have appeared in the Premier League so far have spent an average of 330 minutes each on the pitch. Last season Arsenal used 38 different players and Wojciech Szczesny made the most starts (48 out of a possible 54).
Firstly, it's nice to have a top 10 list of goalscorers at this stage of the season - in 1993/94 Arsenal had just six different scorers in the whole of the league campaign.
The Gunners have scored 24 goals from the first 10 games of 2012/13 and the rate of 2.4 goals per game is higher than in any previous season under Arsène Wenger.
The goals have come from 10 different players - in fact there have been six different goalscorers in the last two games alone.
Gervinho leads the way with five (three in the league, two in the Champions League) with Podolski and Walcott netting four each.
Four of the players who have found the target this season broke their Gunners duck in so doing, taking the total number of overall goalscorers in the Club's history to 476.
Walcott is now on 46 goals for Arsenal, more than any other player currently on the books at the Club. He is also the 54th top scorer in Arsenal history.
Twelve players have laid on assists for goals this season, Giroud leading the way with four.
Walcott contributed his first assist of the season in the win over West Ham, taking his overall total for the Club to 51. That means he now leads both goals and assists for players currently at the Club.
Cazorla has two assists to his name, but in the seven league games alone he has created 26 goalscoring chances, second only to Everton's Leighton Baines (30).
Twenty different players racked up assists for Arsenal last season, led by Alex Song (14).
Arteta has excelled in a deeper midfield role so far this season. Indeed, he has won more tackles than any other Arsenal player (31).
The 24 tackles Arteta has won in the league is the second highest tally in the whole division, just one behind West Ham's Mark Noble.
Kieran Gibbs has won 24 tackles this season in all competitions (one every 32 minutes) and is the top tackling defender in the entire Premier League with 21.
Cazorla leads this category, with 23 shots in all, and he is joint fifth in the entire Premier League (20). Of his 20 Premier League shots, nine (45 per cent) have been on target, and two (10 per cent) have been converted.
Looking purely at the Premier League stats, Giroud has had the next most shots for Arsenal (16) which equates to one every 22 minutes on the pitch.
Gervinho's five goals have come from just 11 shots, five of which have been on target.
Mikel Arteta is streets ahead in this particular category, as he is for the whole of the Premier League.
In the first seven league games the Spaniard has completed 617 passes – that's 74 more than the league's next best, Yaya Toure (543). His passing accuracy rate (93.77 per cent) is also better than any other player in the top 50 for most completed passes in the Premier League.
In addition Arteta has completed 173 passes in two Champions League games, making 790 in all, meaning he makes a successful pass every 61.5 seconds in all.
Carl Jenkinson has completed 365 passes in the Premier League, more than any other defender in the division.
Overall this season Arsenal have completed 3,473 passes in the Premier League (out of 3,992 attempted), putting them second behind Man City.
In the Champions League Arsenal have completed 1,007 passes from the two games, placing them fourth behind Barcelona (1,624), Manchester United (1,191) and Bayern Munich (1,069).
Individually, Arteta's tally of 173 successful passes puts him second in the competition, behind Xavi (270), though Arteta does have a slightly better completion rate (95.05 per cent) than his compatriot.
There is nobody better than Arteta in this category either. It will probably come as no surprise that he has had the most touches of the ball so far this season - nearly 1,000 for both competitions.
The midfielder also leads the overall Premier League charts in this regard, from Yaya Toure (684) and Cazorla (675). Jenkinson (604) and Gibbs (556) are also in the top 10 for the league.
Ramsey's stats are also worth noting. He's taken 371 touches from 317 minutes on the pitch, which works out as virtually the same rate as Arteta (1.17 touches per minute).
At the other end of the spectrum, Szczesny took just 39 touches from his two games, the fewest of any player in the league with 100 or more minutes under his belt.
Arteta also leads another category - fouls won. The 30 year-old has been fouled 20 times this season (16 in the league), just ahead of Cazorla (18).
Arteta is not the most fouled player in the Premier League though, he is currently sixth in those rankings (led by Chelsea's Eden Hazard with 21).
At the other end of the scale, Arteta has also conceded the most fouls of any Arsenal player (20), twice as many as the next men (Vermaelen and Podolski).
The Gunners have given away very few free-kicks this season though. It's just 62 for the seven league games so far, the fourth fewest in the division.
In addition, only two clubs in the league have picked up fewer yellow cards than Arsène Wenger's men this season (six). At this stage last year, the Gunners had been shown three red cards and 13 yellows.
Stats correct as at October 10, 2012. With thanks to Opta.
Josh James also provides the stats for the Arsenal Analysis pages of the matchday programme.

This isn't a great fight by any stretch. But in all seriousness; who else is there?
Vegh isn't ready. Kimbo would likely want six figures and is too big a fight to throw away on free TV with a week or so's notice. Sokoudou? Houston Alexander? At least Beltran's last three fights have been on free TV for the UFC, so there is a chance that people might know who he is.

text: Just found the thread where ducatiSS posted the same link. Leave it to me to be a day late and a dollar short. But the fact remains that most folks still beleive the shooter used an AR15. I have been correcting people for awhile now. But I guess the point is moot. He could have used a lever action and the anti's would still go after the "evil" guns and magazines.

As for the hair, I'm going to go the route of getting it cut/styled since I wear my hair short and have a similar hair color anyway. I'm assuming you're thinking of her hairstyle in the movie? I think it could translate pretty well into a wig too. You could maybe commission someone who makes anime cosplay wigs due to the style. Her 80's style do's from the comics would probably be a little trickier though, lol.
Wow, that looks great!
I don't know what that is, but it's pretty cool.
Russ - if u wanted to get in touch with a cosplay wigmaker - I know a good one, although she mostly does Cloud from FFVII. Only prob is shes based in UK.
Wow, I never saw the movie, just looked up a few youtube clips. Incredible sculpt. This would be a perfect suit for me. Just gotta work on the muscles and get broly rofl
will do mate - gonna try for arms 1st - CGI style ofc. 2nd time I am trying a sculpt - so dont expect quick results man.
Was also gonna be interested in the Deunan body armour idea from Resilience - not sure how I will approach that yet
we should get a Project Appleseed section
u noticed some Appleseed replica ordance on the Bay atm - its from a dutch guy? Unfortuantely its ordance from the original animation movie I think.
Would it be possible to add more detail especialy in the rabbit ear base area where there looks to be a screw, and the forhead area where there is finer engraving details? Possibly some extra lines around the mouth parts? The area under the left/ right eyes seems to have a dip also from my first image. Maybe more detail on the rear eyes where they connect to the ball?
I uploaded some shots from the Blue ray version...
More of that head plate thing...
it says (pardon my poor ascii art)
There's a similar one on the back of the helmet too...
looks to be the same text however, it's in a different panel shape outline.
Very good observations. I took some liberty to the details to make it easier for molding. Also had to make some changes to make it an actual wearable helmet. As far as detail in the forehead, I had planned on having decals or stickers made for the logos in front and on back. Thanks for your input, I'm trying to make it as detailed and accurate as humanly possible. Thanks,Russell
Yea, I just picked up Ex Machina the other day. I really want to do a Briareos now. I'd do the one where he's in the tux at the party lol
New pics. Ear molds done. size comparison. holding ears.
Pure awsome at it's best right there! I really want one now!
i don't know appleseed, but that's a hot helmet right there!
very nice progress Russ. I found the ur head-next-to-helmet shot really useful too.
yeesh - that got to be the neatest mold casing I have ever seen!
*waits patiently with popcorn*
cant wait to see the finished product!
that looks like a rly cool. I remember going to the premiere for the most recent appleseed movie at Wondercon. I walked out like 30mins in... not rly a fan, but your work is fantastic.
That is amazing! Godd work bro . Oh by the way I checked the ebay seller you recommended but hes out of Hot Toys Briareos
That is just to sweet,,,,
I dont even know what this helmet is from, but it displays wonderful craftsmanship. Great work!!!
Appleseed is one of my favorite movies... great work!
Looking great! The head comparison makes it look even better!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well scripted oldred!
I have heard that crap from my crew for years. Its "newfangled change" and some guys will fight it tooth, fang and claw. The other point I want to add to dispel the myths is the fact that all of the auto-darkening helmets have a shade 3 tint to them in the "off" position which will prevent any involuntary flash damage in the event that the lens does not come on.
We did a study about 15 years ago to find out a little more about welders and their eyes and the biggest culprit of "itchy, burning eyes" came from new operators or infrequent operators. The conclusion was the new strain put on eye nerves and muscles from the repetition of light to dark and focusing on a bright(er) light source in a dark (your helmet) surrounding. Think about working out any muscle mass. If you do 100 bicep curls once a month, the day after your arms will kill you! They never get accustomed to that type of work. This is a similar condition to the way your eyes will react and feel when watching TV for longer periods in a dark room or the feeling you get from oncoming traffic at night.
I tried that light in every position but was not able to elimiate that flicker totally. It only takes one or two flashes for me to forget using the light. I think part of the problem was my Tig was on low power and the arc was not able to set of the lens when I turned the sensitivety down. Anyway simple answer - forget the Halogen.
Thanks for all replies.
I am a welder by trade and the flicker happens frequently. Even the brighter LED lights will cause the lens to go dark. The new hoists at work have flashing warning lights that come on when the hoists get too close to each other. There are 4 5 ton hoists on one track system. these lights are small but very bright and will cause the lens to go dark. A PIA but we have to live with it.
Oldred is very correct in his explanation of the lens. I've been using one since they came out in the previous millennium and haven't gone blind yet. What you get in the higher priced ones is much better head gear and far more durable overall construction. The cheap ones don't hold up well to our industrial use.
|Is it possible to set that light close to where you are working? If you put it so that it illuminates the work but you are actually behind it you may find that the problem will disappear plus the added bonus of being able to see the weld better. I know several people who do this when welding body panels just for the improved visibility at the arc since it helps to eliminate one of those helmets' annoying characteristics, the fact that they tend to get so dark right at the weld it makes it hard to follow a seam. This probably would make little difference with a conventional lens but because of the way these things work changing the contrast by using a bright light will help quite a bit with the auto Dark helmets.
|Thanks for the responses and saving me from making a fool of myself by returning it. I tried the sensitivity button and while it made a difference it didn't entirely stop the problem. It is a cheap one from HF (I couldn't afford anything else after spending all my money on the best miller machine I could afford). I have solved the problem by simply turning of the light when I weld, shame though, that Halogen light gave out some welcome heat.
These things have been around for over twenty years now and this old myth is still around and as popular as ever. The response time has exactly zero effect on UV and IR exposure and a delayed response WILL NOT BURN YOUR EYES! The time it take for these things to go dark, or even if they fail to go dark, will not expose the user to any more UV and IR than a fast response time because the protection is a fixed function and DOES NOT have to rely on the lens going dark. The darkening effect of the lens filters the visible light spectrum and the IR and UV rays are blocked by the lens material which functions exactly the same whether or not the lens goes dark, from a safety standpoint it does not matter if the lens goes dark or not because the protection from the harmful rays will be the same dark or not! Accidentally blocking a sensor and having the lens fail to go dark (hey this happens all the time!) will not expose the user to any more harmful rays than if the lens had of gone dark at the proper time, although it may be uncomfortable it will not burn your eyes even if it happens repeatably.
There are a bunch of "urban legends" around about some poor worker who was blinded by these helmets but they are nothing more than BS. It usually goes that a welder was issued one of these helmets by his employer (usually at one of the auto plants) and he complained to his supervisor that it was not going dark fast enough but of course he was told to "use it and quit complaining or go home". Well this poor guy obediently goes back to work but his eyes were hurting so bad when he got home that he went to the ER where he was told that it was too late and that his eyes were burned so badly that he was going blind from excess exposure! There are several variations of that story and one has it that the helmet was working properly but the guy had a job doing tack welds or some such that required striking the arc a large number of times per shift. These stories are common along with the "scratchy eyes" one but they simply are not true and as one of the reps from Jackson once said "If that was possible the workers comp and product liability lawyers would ruin us overnight"! I suppose it might be possible to hurt your eyes from continuing to use one of these things if the lens would not go dark for some reason but this would come from staring too long at the bright light and would be no different than staring at a light bulb, possible I guess but who in their right mind would do such a thing?
My autodarkening helmet is a Nothern Tool unit,has uv protection even if it fails to darken(which it has only done one time,that I remember, I had the sensors blocked oops when I was doing my pipe welding certification),iirc the speed is 1//20000th of a second.
I'm not a welder by trade, and really don't have much personal experience to draw on either. I sell parts, tools, and equipment for a living ... so many of my beliefs and opinions are learned through "osmosis". I have the manufacturer's propaganda on one side, and customer complaints, comment, and "brand affiliation" on the other.
My experience has been that you usually do "get what you pay for" when it comes to these items.
Ambient light will most certainly have an effect, and should be somewhat "tuneable" with a sensitivity adjustment.
Sensitivity is one consideration, but perhaps response time is another, more important, measure. Guys that used both a "cheap" helmet and a "quality" one will tell you about "welding flash" ... and having "itchy / scratchy" eyes when they use one with a low response time.
I have been told that the best test of response is to "flick your bic" cigarette lighter in front of it. If the shade doesn't react to that, you'll be exposing your retinas to all of that UV radiation for nanoseconds everytime you strike an arc.
|I've had the same thing happen, and it didn't occur to me until reading this that every time it's been with the Halogen work light on behind me! Thanks, I thought it was me!
|Those things certainly are affected by the lights and the extent of the problem depends on the helmets sensitivity and the placement of the light. The solution would be to use the sensitivity adjustment if it has one and a fixed sensitivity lens may be helped by changing the lighting position. A fixed sensitivity model is set about half way between the lowest and highest settings for the adjustable models which is about where the adjustable lens is usually used anyway. I have used the cheap $40 helmets and the better $400 outfits and (IMO anyway) there is not a lot of difference in them as far as dealing with this problem, assuming they both have adjustable lens.
I bought a second Auto Darkening helmet at Northern Tools the other day that was on sale for $44 and change and at the same time picked up a small Halogen work light. I was welding in a new floor into my Bud's old truck, using both and I had the same problems. The cheapo had adjustable settings as well and they made a difference so I just blew it off as not being adjusted correctly. My old Auto Darkening helmet, which has no adjustments, never showed any of these tendencies that caught my attention and I paid $85 for the lens only about 10 years ago. Can't wait to see if the Halogen light effects it.
|I've had that happen too, and if your helmet has a sensitivity adjustment on it try turning it down to low, that took care of the problem for me.
Auto-Darkening Lens and Halogen Light.
I have been using an auto dark welding helmet and after a few days of being driven crazy I have discovered the halogen light in my garage is affecting it's operation. If the light is in front of me the lens will go dark before I have struck an arc and if the light is behind me the lens will flicker on and off a few seconds after I have struck an arc while I am still welding.
Is this normal or do I have a faulty lens?
