goog looking wagon.
over the years we have had a 48 Jeepster, acturally still have it, a jeep wagon, a jeep pickup, a jeep 3/4 ton pug nose FC, The jeepster has gone thru a lot of swapsm changes, is now presently on a full size blazer chassis and that was a lot of work. I cut out the radiator mounting box like you did when I put in a Buick Nail head back in the mid 60's and had some cracks start to show up in the front -grille headlight panel, so I added some square tube, formed a bit across the top. a straight piece of 1/2 across the bottom.
Jeepster rear fenders molded on the rear look good and clear big tires but you have already painted the body.
She's coming along nicely.
"The thread that won't die!"
I'm baaack! Got a ton of work done on the Willys. A few pics:
Coming along nicely. Are you gonna get some fatter tires for the back?
They look like they're recessed quite far in.
Welcome back Old Thread... Willys is slowly coming along. The S-10 chassis fit surprisingly well. Did measurements and called AFCO--had a alum radiator and 3000 cfm e-fan that fit perfectly. Next up is an Ididit tilt column and custom gas tank then headers. Already did 2" front drop spindles and blocks for the rear. Everything on the suspension gone through and rebuilt/replaced... a few pics:
steering problems with S-10 swaps
I started a S-10 frame swap with a '39 Ford fordor body years ago. Just gets worked on intermittanley. I made a plywood template to match the stock frame and laid it on the S-10 frame and cut it to match the top profile. Channelled the body over it for a better stance.Located the motor mounts to put my 2007 5.3 with 1802 miles on it so it was close to the firewall. Looks good but the steering is driving me nuts.Tried moving the box over 2 1/4" and tilted it just a little. That, even with the center link lengthed in the proper spot, caused too many issues with the way the steering moves. Now I am working on installing a center-steer rack and when I figure out how to turn the hydraulic control part for better hose placement, hopefull I can continue at a much faster pace since I retired two months ago. Martinsr, I agree with 90% of your posts. At the time I was a single dad with my son in a private school. It was S-10 or nothing. Now I am much better financially and wish I still had my stock frame.I am above average at fabrication and have many resources available so I hope I can make this work. Thanks to everyone for all the comments on this. Steve
Hey Guys! I'm back... had a pretty bad car wreck last March. Kid pulled out in front of me when I was driving 50 mph with no warning--didn't even get my foot on the brake before BOOM! Anyway, a busted up right wrist and two subsequent surgeries, a cast for 3 months and 2 months of missed work and income (self employed with 2 kids in college) put the brakes on the Willys project. Finally got started again last month.
To update: the S-10 frame is easily adjustable, just cut out a couple welds and the frame slides to the needed length, the re-weld. Had to fabricate new body mounts to match the Willys body mount points. Cleaned, blasted and painted the frame. Replaced all bushings and had to do surprisingly little cutting on the body to get it to set down properly. It is now a complete rolling assembly. All focus recently has been on fabbing and replacing floor pans, fabbing a new trans tunnel to fit the tranny (used a section of the Old's hood and bent it to shape--worked perfect) and fitting welding in patch panels for the rear quarters that were rusted out.
Still have a TON of work to do... wiring, brake lines, instruments, A/C, interior, paint, etc, etc. But it is coming along! Hardest decision so far has been chosing a color. My wife wanted '67 Corvette Sunfire Yellow... I chose late model GM Torch Red and will paint the top above the drip rail something like Wimbledon White. Tan interior (re-upolstered Porsche Recaro buckets) should really look good. Can't wait!
too late???
i found on my willys wagon that a s10 needed motor moved to clear radiator,,,plus w.b. adj. and firewall mod.
so i found a 2001 taco in boneyard with same 104 inch w.b. for 225 bucks
willys fit perfect except for 1 ft. in back floor needed notched 3 inches for frame rails. i moved rad forward to clear fan on my hiperf. ford 2.3 1985 with c4 auto. headers...23mpg 65mph, power rack on taco is located behind xmember so u cant see it. nice stk. a-arms too.
no more s10 swaps for me,,,toyota tacoma better fit,,,straight frame,,,power r/p steering
Great stuff!!! Gives me lots to think about. I picked up the S10 yesterday--very straight '95 roller for $300... my stock frame is "quite used". Butchered somewhat for a V-8 swap in the '50's, too many rough off-road excursions to count, several rust-through areas that will need repair/patching, holes cut through with a cutting torch for exhaust--you get the picture. Planning on pulling the S10 body this week and taking a lot of measurements before any work procedes. If the fit is not good enough or the 'extra mods' are too onerous--I will repair the stock frame and add the MII-style front susp/brakes.
I live in west Texas... no such thing as a short drive by most standards out here. Will be driving to shows/rod runs in Dallas, Austin, Lubbock, etc. 3-400 mile round trips at 70 mph will be the norm. I have driven in several restored Willys with the orig suspension/brakes. No thanks. Even if I do end up keeping the orig frame I will be definitely going with IFS/discs.
Aftermarket IFS vs S10 chassis
Looks means a lot to everyone especially the guy driving (me). I hate to see those swaps where the tires are sticking out from under the front fenders. I always say to myself, there is a Camero, Monte Carlo, Malibu or etc swap where the guy didn't measure well and can not afford to buy offset wheels or doesn't know how to narrow the front end.
Almost everyone advised me to put disc brakes on my dropped axle '29 roadster. I didn't like the look. I wanted the "old" 50's Hot Rod look but I wanted something better than the old "juice" brakes. So I put '53 F100 backing plates, radiased the inside bearings and used '66 F100 shoes and hardware. I have the look I wanted and I have self adjusting drum brakes on the front as well as the back. And it stops well enough for me. The disc brakes would have been about the same price.
I drive the '29 maybe 100 miles a month even in good weather. I put 250K miles on my 94 Jimmy and never minded the ride. So on my '48 two door I opted for an S10 front clip because I want to drive it long distances, it was in my price range and capabilities. I opted to put my money into the swap rather than into repairing the '48 suspension. But that's just me, someone else may want to go another way. And that OK.
This is one of the biggest issues, What does the builder REALLY want? As far as the ride and drive, what is the builders expectations and uses of the car? Is he going to be pulling a trailer? Is he going to be a race car? Or are we just talking about a driver? A car that will be cruising to work once in a while or to a local show?
Do you need to change everything to do that?
I drive a stock brake and suspension 50 year old car every day. It stops just fine, but handles like crap. I get into my wife's Caravan and it feels like a Z06 Vette compared to my car. But I am fine with that, I drive down simple surface streets, I don't need anything more. But this is me, what does the guy building the car REALLY need?
Is it to drive like I do everyday with only an occasional long trip? Why build the car for that occasional long trip when 99% of its road time will be in such a way that the stock or near stock suspension will be fine?
Is it's "Function" all that matters? Or is the looks also important to them? Do they need to tell people all the great things they did? (I am not knocking this, just being realistic.)
I recently bought this Caravan and I bought something a little less than I had been planning on buying. I had a larger mini van, it had rear a/c, and I wanted at the very minimum that rear a/c. But I also had planned on "stow and go" seating (seats that fold down under the floor creating a loading area) I had been thinking about getting a new van for quite some time and this was a MUST have, why not? It was the best of both worlds and I wanted that. Well, we went looking and found this real nice Caravan, SUPER nice low mileage car. It had no rear a/c and no stow and go seats.
But I also learned that I would have to have the longer wheel base "Grand Caravan" to have that a/c and stow and go seats. I got to thinking, how often do I use the rear a/c in my current van, not often. But more important, how often do I REALLY need it? Well, a few times on road trips out in Arizona or something, why worry about the a/c when I use it so little of the time the van is used? Then I thought about the stow and go, I have a friggin utility trailer, do I REALLY need this storage in the van? When have a REALLY missed it? ONCE, one time I remember picking up an antique desk after a very long drive and wishing I had the room for another piece he had. So REALLY, do I need the stow and go? This van is used about 99% of the time driving kids to school and local outings. The little shorter van will make THIS use easier. So why buy the one that makes the 1% of it's use easier? That made no sense to me and I immediately after realizing this made the decision very easy. I bought the shorter van and we love it. My wife has commented on how much easier it is go maneuver thru parking lots and such, it was a MUCH better choice.
That is what we have to think about, do we REALLY need that modern front clip or frame?
I can't help but think of that co-worker with the super nice driving I beam axled Chevy AD who changed it all because someone talked him into him "needing" to make it "easier" to work on because they couldn't figure out an oil leak in the 235 six. He has had nothing but trouble since with brake problems, cooling problems, etc. All this means of course is the guy who couldn't figure out the oil leak in the old motor hasn't the skills to do the swaps either. double rolling eyes smilie But he is damn sorry he swapped it all, and I am doing my best to get the dropped axle and 55 Chevy rear end he pulled out for MY truck!
|Chopt 48
One also has to weigh in appearance and ascetics when he is done and the finished project is being driven on the road and taken to events if that is the plan. That is on reason I am more inclined to want to go with and aftermarket crossmember kit rather than a bulky chassis and front crossmember or subframe.
I did run a Camaro subframe under the front of my 48 for a number of years and it drove like a slot car on a good track but I didn't like the clunky look of it nor the hassle with the front sheet metal.
I'm not totally anti S-10 as I have a spare AD truck cab and pieces that may go on one in the future but the price of S-10 doners in this area has skyrocketed to the point where there isn't much of a saving if you have a good frame under your rig to begin with.
But if the Jeep's original frame is hacked up due to crude engine swaps in the past and many Jeeps had extremely crude engine swaps in the 60's then the S-10 swap would be a lot more practical.
I think what MartinSr and I are both trying to say is that it may be more practical in the long run to use a "good solid" stock frame and run a crossmember kit and rear end swap in most rigs than buy into the S-10 swap thing.

hello all, recenlty i submit application and got reject also with this reply " This item has a nice concept, but doesn't feature the required functionality and features to be approved as a premium item. "
please anybody will describe me what this sentence means .. it says script bad or uncomplete documentation or bad photo or short features ..?
"item has nice concept" does it means my concept is good but script is bad or limited?:(
I think it simply means that you have nice idea but you need to work more on the quality and the content. Think as if you were a customer and you just bought the file (your own in this case), would you be satisfied with what you just bought?
Also people who usually buy items here are those who want quality items that could make them more productive. So if you submit an item that doesn't do much or isn't good enough, people will not simply buy it (and if some people actually buy it, your inbox will be flooded with unhappy customers and you would lose your reputation).
Hope this help
thank you for your helpfull suggestion..
but as i think while submitting application first reviewer should ask for demo url and if they like design,function,features then only we will submit remaining things like photos,vids, and other .zip material like adsense partial approve and final approve …

Need some help with 1986 GM 305, TBI or Carbed???
Hi Guys,
Just scored a van last night, 1986 305, 700R4, G-20 model van but it's only 5 lug wheels and a 10 bolt in the rear... ? Only $350 and 67K original miles and actually has a pretty good body (minor surface rust) and interior. Not sure what I am going to do with it, maybe put the setup in something... I am actually psyched to maybe have as a van as I like that setup (the smaller motor, faster gearing and the OD for cruising)...
Got it so cheap because it has been sitting for 10 years.. So I took my time, even changed all the fluids even though they all look pretty good, and it fired right up.. Only thing is that, whether its Carb'd or TBI, it is dumping fuel down, can borderline almost not even run because there is too much fuel... I'm sure the sitting was not good for the fuel system..
I was under the impression that TBI started in 1987.. But on this van, even though it is an 86, if it is TBI, it has some clicking and electrical harness plugged into the carb/throttle body... Has an O2 Senson off one of the manifolds, and what looks like a heat riser on the pass side manifold. It is a van so a little hard to get in there and see for sure, even with dog house removed.. It has a HEI, but I know these came on both carbed and TBI models.. It has a mechanical pump, but a metal line from the pump to the carb/TBI unit that looks like it might be higher pressure than the normal carburetted pressures... I thought TBI were electrical pumps for some reason. Then, I found something that looks like it probably is a computer under the driver's seat...
So it is starting and running, but again literally dumping fuel. Almost as soon as it starts. I am wondering if it has an overfueling setting for cold starts or something like that that it is stuck on?
Do TBI units go bad? Are they interchangable, all years? This one looks different than the one I have seen on a '90 4.3 V6... I have a friend with a few V6 TBI units lying around. These are probably the wrong size / rating for the 305 V8 TBI? I guess my options are go to the JY and find a 305 and pull the TBI unit off that and bolt it on is probably easiest?
Thanks guys,
I really know little/almost nothing about these...
Was just talking to a friend who knows more about TBI than anyone else I know and he says he's never seen a TBI with a mechanical pump. Also, the emissions sticker has a diagram of all of the emissions equipement and refers to the TBI or Carb as a "CARB." Also it says its California compliant. I figure they are all probably 50 state legal back then but thought I would mention...
So I am still confused whether its a late model carb with some electronic components or whether its a TBI...
That CARB you're referring to might not stand for carburetor. It might mean California Air Resources Board, or C.A.R.B.
As far as what you have. Even though there are electrical lines connected, it could still be carbureted. There were electronically controlled carburetors.
If it is a mechanical pump, it is a computer controled carb. If it hasnt run in 10 years I would not be surprised if the choke is stuck.
I checked and its a CCC carb, not a TBI... The "carb" on the emissions diagram is definitely referring to it as a carburetor not CARB, C.A.R.B., though...
What are your suggestions...?
We have no emissions in this county, I want it to be basically as reliable as possible, but I actually do care about emissions at least with this thing mostly for resale if we ever get rid of it... At this point mostly interested in mileage... Funny I am on my 2nd frame off but I know so little about carburetors its almost embarrassing...
Would you guys fix/rebuild/replace this CCC carb, bolt it on and run it, or slap on a 70's Q-jet or something like that to replace it...? I have this posted on one of my land cruiser boards too and they are saying toss the CCC, and I'll probably need to find a non CCC HEI as well... The HEI is 1 wire.. I don't mind doing any of that stuff, but want the best with honestly the least work for this one.. Don't mind the work, just don't have the time right now and don't have too much spare $$ right now..

all G20 are 5 lug
G30 are 8 lug
its not the same as C series
no TBI til 87
good luck
To save you alot of hassels, replace the carb.( $489.00 from advance auto for a rebuilt one from cardone, Va. prices) or you can go another route. I ran into this issue myself with my 87 305 Camaro. I replaced the intake with a Edelbrocke daul plane intake,1406 Edelbrocke carb.(600CFM) and a Accel dist. You can use the stock brackets for your TV cabel& gas. The elect. choke is the same wire. I would be happy to email you some pics. of my set up.My car passed a Va. state inspection without running a EGR valve. your check engine light will stay on, I removed the bulb.If you would, you can email me at email@example.com,will be happy to answer your questions.
I would put on a early 70s q-jet carb. Something with little or no emissions crap on it. If you can find a 1 ton with a 350 in it or something, that carb would be awesome. A 1 ton would have "heavy duty emissions" (which didn't get all that emissions crap).
My 78 suburban had a 6800# GVWR which meant it qualified for heavy duty emissions. The carb on it (although it was a 454) had one vac line going to the distributor, one to the PCV valve, one to the air cleaner (two if you count the breather tube from valve cover to the breather) and then a short one that went to the choke, which was attached to the carb so it was like a 2" section of hose, almost not even worth mentioning.
It was very simple. It really wouldn't need any vacuum lines at all to run well but currently i do have the distributor and PCV valve hooked up.
The carb. he is talking about has to be replaced with the same type, I think it is a 4EME4,on the right side of the carb.there is a plug(white) with 4wires, this is the throttle position sensor,it sends a siginal to the computer,which in turn controls the timing,the computer then sends a signal back to the carb,in the front of the carb,there is a blue cap that has 2 wires,this in turn controls the air/fuel mixture and the EGR valve.The 4EME4 is a 750cfm,if he uses any carb other than the one that is on it, he will have to replace the dist. as well.Having gone through this, I can tell you it is cheaper to replace the carb with the type that he has on it now.

Somalia picks cabinet, balances old guard with newcomers
By Abdi Sheikh and Omar Faruq
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia unveiled a new cabinet on Sunday, keeping a delicate balance among rival clans as it tries to shake off years of conflict that still plagues the country despite a recent push against al-Qaeda-linked militants.
The formation of the government is the culmination of a regionally brokered, U.N.-backed effort to restore central control and end close to two decades of fighting that has killed tens of thousands of people.
In September, Somalia inaugurated President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud - elected in the first vote of its kind since warlords toppled military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991, leaving the African nation without an effective central government.
Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Saaid, chosen by Mohamud because he is untainted by clan rivalry, will have to tackle corruption, the Islamist insurgency and piracy off the coast along strategic Indian Ocean shipping lanes.
"Taking into account the current situation, I have appointed a lean, effective cabinet that can lead the government in this difficult situation and that can bring full, reliable peace," Saaid told reporters and officials at the presidential palace as he unveiled his 10-minister cabinet line-up.
He appointed Fozia Yusuf Haji Aden as foreign minister, the first woman to hold such a senior position. "It is a victory for Somali women," she said.
Somali, Ethiopian and African Union peacekeeping troops have pushed the al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab insurgents out of the main areas they took over in their five-year-old revolt, encouraging many Somalis to return to rebuild their country. But the militants are still capable of launching attacks in Mogadishu.
Saaid retained three ministers who had served in former President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed's transitional government, among them Abdihakim Haji Mohamud Fiqi as the minister for defence. Continued...

I've had a growing interests in the jhanas as I have expressed here. (Keep in mind I am early in the practice). A few months ago I visited a Theravada monastery about 45 minutes south of where I currently live and met with my first monk for the first time (ever). Bhante Devanada (I like to call him happy god), we discussed Buddhism to a minor length. At first he didn't encourage conversion, but as he listened he realized it was too late for me Any who, after our discussion he recommended and gave me a copy of "Beyond Mindfulness In Plain English" by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana. At the time I was not aware of the jhanas and only knew basic mindfulness and metta, so it basically exceeded my understanding so I set it aside. It was not until a few moments ago that it dawned on me that the book regarded jhanas and I had recalled seeing that when I read the first chapter. I plan on taking the time to read the book and wanted to know if anyone is familiar with it?
With that said, I think I may begin to overcome my conditioned apprehensions with organized "religion" and begin to practice at that temple. It seems favorable karma continues to blow for me.

Seventeen home games plus trips to Alaska and Minnesota highlight the 2012-13 Canisius College hockey schedule, announced by head coach Dave Smith on Monday.
"We are really excited about our schedule," Smith said. "We are playing quality schools out of conference, which includes home series against two teams with a lot of tradition in a former national champion in Bowling Green plus Clarkson. It is great to host these teams in Buffalo. Our players will be tested in every game and will have the opportunity to represent Canisius College and our conference against some of the best Division I hockey programs in the country.
"Our conference schedule is always tough and this year is no different. Our conference champion is always well prepared for the NCAA Tournament."
The Griffs open the 2012-13 campaign on Oct. 12, playing at Alaska Anchorage before meeting Alaska-Fairbanks on Oct. 13 in Anchorage. The trip to Alaska marks the third time that Canisius makes the venture up north. The Griffs complied a 0-5-1 record in trips during the 1988-89 and 2004-05 seasons.
Canisius then remains on the road for a pair of non-conference games at Western Michigan on Oct. 19 and 20. The schools opened the 2010-11 season against each other, splitting two contests in Kalamazoo.
The Griffs then take a quick break from the non-conference season for their home opener against defending Atlantic Hockey champion Air Force on Oct. 25. Canisius then plays at perennial-power Minnesota for the first time in the program's history on Oct. 28 before hosting ECAC foe Clarkson on Nov. 3 and 4. The Griffs earned 3-of-4 points against the Golden Knights in the schools' only meeting during the 2008-09 campaign.
Canisius also squares off with Bowling Green in non-league action. The Griffs host the CCHA school for a pair of games on Jan. 5 and 6.
Overall, the Griffs play 27 games against Atlantic Hockey foes. Canisius meets each team from the western division - Air Force, Mercyhurst, Niagara, RIT and Robert Morris - three times, while playing each team from the eastern division twice. The Griffs host AIC, Army and Holy Cross for two games, while traveling to face Bentley, Connecticut and Sacred Heart.
The Atlantic Hockey Tournament begins on March 8, with the first round and the quarterfinals both being best 2-of-3 series at campus sites. The four advancing teams will meet on March 22 and 23 in Rochester, N.Y. to determine the league's champion.
The Griffs return 23 letterwinners from the 2009-10 season, including 93.6 percent of their scoring.

WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is rolling out two world-renowned coffees as its newest Special Reserve offerings: 100% Kona and Jamaica Blue Mountain.
The limited-edition coffees, available in 16-ct. Keurig K-Cups and 10-oz. whole bean bags, are launching for the holiday season and will only be available while supplies last.
Green Mountain 100% Kona is described as delicate, with dry, chardonnay-like notes with hints of tropical fruit, tart green apple and dried citrus. It has a floral aroma with an almond sweetness.
The Kona region of Hawaii's main island is marked by high elevation, frequent cloud cover, mild nights, and mineral-rich volcanic soil, making it an ideal environment for growing the highly prized beans.
Green Mountain's Jamaica Blue Mountain, known around the world for its exceptional flavor, presents "a heavy body with a silky, smooth finish and is made up of rich notes of chocolate, cherry, and plum, with hints of melon, lemon and lime." It is grown in the higher reaches of the Blue Mountains where rainfall is plentiful and the soil is extremely rich, and where nearly perpetual fog slows the plants' development, thereby producing a denser bean than what is produced in other regions.
Green Mountain Coffee Special Reserve coffees, made from beans that are among the rarest in the world, are offered a few times a year as limited-edition roasts.

Breeding Bird Survey Routes
Nongame Conservation Section
The Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is an international monitoring program that tracks population trends of hundreds of species of birds in southern Canada, the U. S., and Mexico. It had been run continuously since the late 1960s and has provided population trend data for many major bird conservation efforts in this country. Georgia has over 95 BBS routes, many of which are not run due to lack of skilled volunteer surveyors. We would like to have most of these routes run annually to significantly improve the ability of the survey to predict population trends of bird species in the state.
If you know your Georgia birds by sight and song/call, we strongly encourage you to take a route. It only requires a commitment of one day each year. To sign up for a route, or for more information, please contact Todd Schneider (email@example.com or (478) 994-1438).

The Senate rejected a motion to end debate yesterday on a bill that would repeal the 3% withholding tax, set to go into effect on government contracts in 2013.
Earlier this week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) quietly introduced S. 1726, the Withholding Tax Relief Act of 2011, which is nearly identical to H.R. 674, a repeal measure in the House of Representatives that was recently voted out of the Ways and Means Committee with overwhelming support. McConnell moved for cloture on S. 1726, meaning consideration of the bill would end and the legislation could proceed further, but the motion failed in a 57-43 vote. Cloture ultimately requires three-fifths of the full Senate, or at least 60 votes.
While the House is expected to vote, and likely approve, H.R. 674 next week, the failure of the Senate's cloture vote indicates that the entire repeal effort risks falling victim to a severe party-line divide and partisan gamesmanship.
The failed cloture vote in the Senate came along with another failed vote on a portion of the American Jobs Act, a bill championed by President Barack Obama. Senate Republicans, joined by three conservative Democrats, blocked a bill, S. 1723, the Teacher and First Responder Stabilization Act, taken from a portion of the full American Jobs Act that would've given states money to hire or retain teachers, police, firefighters and other emergency responders.
By carving this section of the bill out and forcing Republicans to vote on it, and reject it, Senate Democrats now have a talking point with which to hammer conservatives, arguing that they are unwilling to support tax increases for millionaires, even if those tax increases would help keep teachers and emergency responders employed.
Similarly, McConnell's decision to isolate the 3% withholding repeal in S. 1726 gives Republicans a chance to portray Democrats, all but 10 of whom voted against the measure, as anti-business and to suggest that the entire party is committed more to taxes than economic growth.
The 3% withholding repeal, which not too long ago may have seemed like a bipartisan slam-dunk, now hangs in the balance.
Originally enacted as part of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act (TIPRA) of 2005, the 3% withholding tax will apply to payments from local, state and federal government entities to their contractors starting in 2013. While provision's goal was originally to address the nation's tax gap, which represents the annual $345 billion in taxes legally owed but left uncollected, and ultimately address contractor tax compliance, the provision punishes all government contractors, rather than just those that flout their tax requirements. The provision would wreak havoc on the cash flow of companies that do business with government entities, especially smaller businesses, upon whom the burden would fall hardest.
NACM has opposed the 3% withholding tax since its introduction and hopes that both parties can reach an agreement resulting in the end of this harmful provision. For more information on NACM's effort to repeal the 3% withholding tax, click here.

Britt was the secretary for Chris Brynner, the boss of Brynner Information Systems, in 2024.
Britt managed to reserve a room at the Clift Hotel for five nights for Jadzia Dax and was asked by his boss, Brynner, to check if any of Jadzia's friends was admitted to a city hospital or trauma ward. This after Benjamin Sisko, Julian Bashir and herself were trapped in Earth's past, during what would become known as the Bell Riots.
The next day Britt would probably be present during a get-together Brynner had organized at the office. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")
Britt was named after James Coburn's character of the same name from the film The Magnificent Seven. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 197)

The January transfer window saw two more Arsenal starlets go out on loan. Jay Simpson moved to West Brom and Reserve team captain Gavin Hoyte has joined Watford, both until the end of the season.
They join the existing loanees Armand Traore, Nacer Barazite, James Dunne, Kerrea Gilbert and Abu Ogogo away with other English clubs.
Overseas, the Gunners have players in Italy, Spain and Holland. Philippe Senderos, who has made 115 appearances for the Gunners, is spending the season with Serie A giants AC Milan. Pedro Botelho is away with Spanish Segunda Division outfit UD Salamanca while Vincent van den Berg is out on his second loan spell in as many years, this time with FC Zwolle of the Eerste Divisie in Holland.
Armand Traore
Tottenham 1-1 Portsmouth
Sunday, January 18.
Armand Traore helped Portsmouth grab an important point at Tottenham on Sunday. Playing as usual on the left wing, the Frenchman was one of the visitors' best attacking outlets in the first half. But his most important contribution in the 90 minutes was to create Portsmouth's goal on the hour. Traore's cross-field run set up David Nugent, whose long-range shot found the corner of the net via a deflection. Jermain Defoe equalised 10 minutes later but the draw helped Tony Adams' side rise to 12th in the Premier League table.
Jay Simpson
West Brom 3-0 Middlesbrough
Saturday, January 17.
West Brom roared to a welcome 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough on Saturday. On-loan striker Jay Simpson did not get on the scoresheet but he was at the heart of the Baggies' attack before being replaced on 77 minutes by Luke Moore. His best opportunity came in the 27th minute when Simpson was sent clear with only Ross Turnbull to beat. However the Boro keeper stood his ground and made a fine save as the West Brom striker tried to dart around him. West Brom's goals came from Chris Brunt and a brace by Robert Koren. However they remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League.
Gavin Hoyte
Watford 0-2 Sheffield United
Saturday, January 17.
Gavin Hoyte featured for Watford in a disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Sheffield United. The right back played the full game but could do little to prevent second–half goals Danny Webber and Claude Henderson ensuring all three points went north. Watford are one place above the drop zone in the Championship and have a fight on their hands to stay up.
Nacer Barazite
Derby County 0-2 QPR
Saturday, January 17.
Nacer Barazite came on for the last 20 minutes in Derby's 2-0 defeat against QPR on Saturday. Nigel Clough's reign at Pride Park start in ignominious fashion as they fell behind to goals from Wayne Routledge and Mikele Leigertwood inside the first 36 minutes. The on-loan Dutch striker could do little to change that. Derby are fifth from bottom in The Championship.
Philippe Senderos
AC Milan 1-0 Fiorentina
Saturday, January 17.
Philippe Senderos replaced David Beckham for the final nine minutes of Milan's 1-0 win over Fiorentina at the San Siro. It was the defender's first appearance for the Rossoneri since December 17. Milan are third and now six points off leaders Inter after Jose Mourinho's side surprisingly lost 3-1 at home to Atalanta on Sunday.
Pedro Botelho
UD Salamanca 2-3 Murcia
Saturday, January 17.
Pedro Botelho could not prevent Salamanca going down to a costly 3-2 defeat at home to struggling Murcia on Saturday. The Brazilian midfielder played a full 90 minutes as the Spanish Segunda Division team came from behind to lead 2-1 with an hour gone. But the visitors equalised five minutes later and won the game with three minutes left. Salamanca dropped to sixth as a result but are still just two points adrift of leaders Xerez.
Abu Ogogo
Barnet 1-1 Dagenham & Redbridge
Saturday, January 17.
Abu Ogogo missed Barnet's 1-1 draw with Dagenham due to a stomach muscle injury.

Hi guys,
As I'm finishing up the ROTJ STUNT Blasters, and getting moving on the ESB STUNT, I was puzzeled.
I'm doing most of the detail parts by hand, and casting them to make duplicates, and womdered; is there any need for me to cast these in a longer lasting silicone? These detail parts would be the following:
-accurate bomb racks
-stock plates (scratched, but realllllly nice and accturate)
-Scope with rings attached
- Muzzle tip
- Accurate V8 parts
- Molllex connectors and scope
- Stock plates (also scratchbuilt, built really nice)
Now, this is really just a yes or no question, so holler if you think its a good idea!!

Social Features Dropped From Google Reader
More information here and here.
Unfortunately that means as a consequence in NewsRob "Share (in Reader)", "Share With Note" and "Like" need to be removed also.
I intend to release a new version of NewsRob without the aforementioned features.
Apart from the lack of social features it will be the same version of NewsRob, so that there shouldn't be any bugs in there.
However due to the lack of lead time I don't want to release the new version today, but wait until Monday and see if the beta testers on the mailing list find something that I broke.
If you don't want to wait or help test the new version, you can access it here.
If the backend of Google Reader drops the functionality sooner than Monday you may need to use that version anyway. Otherwise NewsRob will not be able to delete read articles that you recently liked or shared and have not been synced with the server.
This would be a temporary glitch though and repaired when you install the new version.
Btw. Work on a tablet version of NewsRob is still underway.
Update: Release 4.8.3 is live in the Android Market.
47 comments:
May I suggest replacing these entries with AddtoReadItLater in the Menus. I know I can add to ReadItLater by click on Sharelink, but it is nice to avoid a button press when possible.ReplyDelete
Excellent news on the "Tablet" version. Will this work on Gingerbread tablets... or just Honeycomb/ICS?ReplyDelete
In any case, the current version works beautifully on my CyanogenMod. My investment in Pro has gone very far :)
I am running Newsrob Pro on my NookColor (CyanogenMod), and it is working very nicely, thank you. Which features will the tablet version add? The one feature I am really missing is swipe to next item, instead of pressing the nav button, but that should come in handy even on phones.ReplyDelete
Miguel, I need to get a table version out first, but afterward there will likely be a feature where you can select your one or two favorite intent receivers, e.g. RIL, and then sharing with those are accessible with one tap from within NewsRob.ReplyDelete
harningt. Can't really say for certain, but the while version jungle gets quickly really complicated and takes away focus and time from real features. I still did this in the past, but I am not happy with my dev velocity. So this time I think I will start with an ICS version only and if Google (they don't support the N1? WTF what message does that send to providers and manufacturers?), the providers and the manufacturers are really bad in adapting ICS I will start to backport features.
However like this release (483 from above), the pre ICS versions (Android 2.2+) will still be supported and gain bug fixes etc.
Kalle, mostly it will use additional space that large screens offer. Also now thar Google finally provides high level UI elements, like the action bar, I will use those and get rid of home grown stuff.
The problem with swiping is that content that is scrollable collides with swipe gestures. If you have fixed width content, e.g. an eBook, it's easy to also provide a horizontal swipe gesture. If you you, however, provide the ability to read arbitrary html content, that can be wider than the screen, than a horizonal swipe could be a swipe or scroll gesture.
If you want to discuss this more, please come to the mailing list, because this is not right format. But if you do, give it some time first. Even if we would find a solution that I haven't thought about, it will not happen before the tablet/google tv release.
Hmm, Google didn't really drop the social features, they just replaced them with +1 and share on G+. Can you add this in NewsRob? The "Send link" to the Google+ app is not really helpful as it works not they way it should (i.e. on a desktop computer).ReplyDelete
Stefan, they really did drop the social features of reader. They could have added G+ (which differs in tons of ways, from requiring extra clicks and a different interface, to the ever vanishing timeline vs. The read/unread RSS) in addition to the existing social functions, but they didn't. Heck, they didn't even provide a viable interface for people to try to re-find the contacts they had in reader (not that you'd want to waste time clicking through their g+ timeline about the minutia if life anyway). I love the Newsrob app, but as soon as hivemind or another viable reader greader replacement comes along, I'm ditch the ever more evil bigG.ReplyDelete
So, I'm thinking to NOT upgrade (downgrade) newsrob until google removes the back end. It sounds like my evidence for this will simply be a! failure to purge read items which have been shared or liked, right?ReplyDelete
Stefan, what Denny said.ReplyDelete
Furthermore they don't have a proper API yet and even the GR app doesn't do what you ask.
I believe that it may be possible to use that functionality somehow, but it likely would mean to somehow execute JavaScript code to make this happen.
But anyway, it's too early to tell what the replacement will be, if any. We'll see if users want to use G+ for sharing or if something else emerges. Maybe the G+ app will be improved so that you can share not only urls, but titles, do it in the background, even when offline. In that case NewsRob will make it easier to use that sharing (or others like Read It Later).
Also they might provide an RSS feed with the shared articles from circles that you could subscribe to in GR (and therefore NewsRob).
We'll see. Right now, it doesn't look like Google gave it much thought.
Denny, you can skip the upgrade and try to use the features a little longer. At some point in time the calls to Google Reader will fail with exceptions, I am not sure when though. http://groups.google.com/group/fougrapi/msg/b63a26d4aae0a67d
Maybe you can keep us in the loop here in the comments or on the list?
Well, you could have the swipe gesture for next item in feed mode only, no horizontal scroll needed there.ReplyDelete
I did join the mailing list.
Ok, I'll answer on the mailing list then.ReplyDelete
so, um... are you planning to add +1 or not?ReplyDelete
Cight, you can share an article with the G+ app.ReplyDelete
Future versions of NewsRob will make sharing with apps, including the G+ app, easier.
But I will not call Google's API (if there will be one for that) to do the +1 during the sync, like I did with the Google Reader API.
Having said that, we'll see, I might change my mind when the dust settled.
Just curious if you've seen conversations like this, indicating that the sharing API may be persisting (and so far, my non-upgraded NewsRob is working fine):ReplyDelete
Pfffft, can't they make up their mind. I already removed the stuff. It is quite some work to add it back. They're causing friction with this chaos.ReplyDelete
Ok, hold on to the old version then.
I'll be on a mountainbiking trip next week. I will think about what to do afterwards. Maybe I will add it right away and will issue another update or I will add it after the ICS version.
Hey, great job with newsrob ;) i got a quesiton will you release a features like we could swype over article swype to the right = next article and swype to the left = old article ?ReplyDelete
It would be so nice to get this :p
Have a good day :)
in first, i want to say thank you for this really great application.
Im unsing it (in pro version) each days since a few years now.
I am a web programmer and before Google removed the opportunities for sharing, I had a script that retrieved the "shared flow" google JSON and injecting them into my mysql database. Thus, in one click of the finger, I could save and share important information.
Is it possible that in future we can imagine doing a "share" and point to a url for example? Or something that sends a stream of interest other than by email or social networks?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Was on vacation, sorry for the late replay.ReplyDelete
Antoine, I don't see a good implementation for that feature. One issue is that there is no elegant way to distinguish between a scroll horizontally gesture and a swipe gesture. The only sane way is to start scrolling and when then end is reached then to swipe. However this only looks elegant for content that is of fixed width ;(
Anyway, many people want this feature, so I will likely implement it nevertheless, but not in the near future. There are other things ahead.
gbotom, this whole topic is best discussed on the mailing list. http://bit.ly/nr_list. I will also post some news regarding that on the list this week.
Share to a url sounds interesting and not too hard to implement, but that's how many features look at the beginning. In this case I guess that the next big issues would be "authorization" and "offline" then.
If you want to carry on the discussion, please come to the list.
Thank you very much for this great app.it is just about perfect with one single missing feature which is tagging. Do you have any plans to add this feature at all?ReplyDelete
I also want to thank for not forcing swipe to navigate which is nightmare for wide technical posts
Coskan, yeah, I think so, but not soon. Sorry. http://newsrob.uservoice.com/forums/35624-general/suggestions/556183-add-google-reader-tags-ReplyDelete
Sure. NewsRob should never be awkward to use.
Could you add an option to add a "+1" on elements? I use that to circumvent the lack of social features and embed in the sidebar of my blog the articles I like most.ReplyDelete
Also, I would like to translate the app in Italian if possible (sorry, I don't remember if I already told you).Replies
Sorry, missed this one.Delete
As far as I know there is no proper API for that at the moment, but will be.
However in a future version of NewsRob sharing will be easier and I plan to include +1 from the G+ app in that. Haven't thought that through yet.
I don't think I want to do translations of NewsRob, because it would mean I have to coordinate with 10+ people for each release, even though maybe just a couple of words have changed.
I may change my stance on that though. We'll see. Thanks for the offer.
I'd also like a direct "+1" on articlesReplyDelete
For those looking for sharing similar to what Google used to offer, set up a Delicious.com account and install the deliciousdroid app. The in newsrob, share to delicious. Delicious creates an rss feed of your shared articles that other reader users can subscribe to.ReplyDelete

Personally I'd rather not flood my Delicious account with news interleaved with "real" bookmarks. That would generate some confusion. :PReplyDelete
Apologies for hi-jacking this thread but I haven't found any other way to get in touch. I've got two feature requests and would like to hear your response.ReplyDelete
First, I've been using NewsRob on my Nexus One for a couple of years and really enjoyed the volume button navigation. However, on my newly bought Galaxy Tab the volume buttons are, at least when I read in portrait mode, swapped with each other. The lower button is volume up and the topmost volume down. This makes navigation awkward, so: could you add an option to switch the functionalit of te buttons?
Second, while offline reading is awesome some pages are severely garbled when read offline. Could you add the option to use cached content only when offline/without wifi but always download content anew otherwise?Replies
/m, the best is to come to the mailing list as there are other people who also participate in the conversation. http://bit.ly/nr_listDelete
I am not too happy about configuration options, but anyway, could you please submit (a) to newsrob.uservoice.com
Not sure about (b). Screenshots may be helpful. Do you use a mobilizer? Which one? Maybe discuss this on the list?
I've submitted (a) and I've joined the list - tomorrow I'll grab and post some screenshots.Delete
So, Mariano. Any plans for your beautiful app now that Google is shutting Reader in July 2013? I use your app every day. Looking at alternatives that will give my synced, cross-platform access, but I would prefer to not have to. Hope you post a blog post soon. Thanks for your work.ReplyDelete
Hi RoamingChile.ReplyDelete
This is news to me. We started discussions though in the mailing list.
I have found Newsrob & Google Reader invaluable for keeping track of newsfeeds. Feedly will be offering a clone of the Google Reader API to third party developers.http ://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/ReplyDelete
David, yes, thanks for the mention. I will look into that.ReplyDelete
This option is also discussed on the mailing list (see above).
Google Reader will be discontinued. Which RSS reader WEB APP could I use that NewsRob will be compatible ?ReplyDelete
dms, Alternatives are discussed here: http://bit.ly/nr_listReplyDelete

LAHAINA--As soon as he let it go, Leslie McDonald knew the lob pass he threw with 3:05 remaining and Carolina holding a 43-point lead against Mississippi State was not a good idea.
He was correct. The pass clanked off the backboard, which is usually an unfortunate outcome for a pass. McDonald turned and quickly hustled back on defense, which meant he missed the reaction on the Carolina bench.
That reaction was Roy Williams turning to the Tar Heels seated behind him and exclaiming, "That was the worst pass I have seen in 25 years of coaching basketball!"
Marcus Paige was directly behind Williams, and his face looked like Kevin Hart had just told a series of especially pointed jokes about someone's mama ("Oooohhhhhhh"). Being a freshman, Paige had perhaps never heard Williams call a pass the worst he had seen in 25 years of coaching basketball. In reality, that classification put McDonald in some elite company, joining (at least) Raymond Felton, Quentin Thomas and Kendall Marshall, all of whom have been accused of similar transgressions over the past nine-plus seasons.
There are multiple ways to respond to such a miscue. On this day, McDonald chose this one: the next time down, he tossed in a three-pointer. Forty seconds later, he fired in another one, his sixth trifecta of the day and good for a career-high 21 points. On the bench, Reggie Bullock was trying in vain to stifle a smile, realizing that McDonald had just become one of the very rare Tar Heels to shoot his way out of Williams's doghouse.
That's the kind of afternoon it was for the Tar Heels, as the team that couldn't shoot straight suddenly turned into the exact team Williams has been claiming all along that they are, pumping in 15 three-pointers (fourth-best in the history of the program) on the way to a 95-49 win in the Maui Invitational quarterfinals.
"When we're consistently getting the basketball inside and getting good balance with inside scoring and guys are shooting good three-point shots, that's when we're our best team," Williams said.
When the head coach made the comment, he verbally highlighted the word "good." Roy Williams is as unlikely to draw up a gameplan featuring 32 attempted three-pointers as he is to embrace the idea of giant stickers on the court.
But, well, when in Maui you have to be a little flexible, so the Tar Heels navigated around the three stickers and managed to convert 15 of their three-point attempts, and there wasn't much the coach could complain about. Very few of the 32 attempts were forced. Carolina still managed 22 assists on 37 field goals. On one sequence midway through the second half, Marcus Paige found J.P. Tokoto, who had a lane to the basket but found James Michael McAdoo, who had a wide open shot but instead found Desmond Hubert for a dunk. That's the kind of ball movement and unselfishness that suggests a team is grasping what their coach is telling them.
Fourteen of the 15 made three-pointers were accompanied by an assist. The only trifecta that didn't come with an assist? The halftime buzzer-beating 65-footer from P.J. Hairston--a shot the sophomore really does practice regularly, as you know if you've seen him in pregame warmups.
"If we can stay consistent throughout this whole tournament, I think people will realize who we really are and what we can really do," said Hairston, who contributed 18 points and four of the three-pointers.
Since we're only four games into the season, though, most of us might not have the same grasp as Hairston does of who, in fact, this team might really be. P.J., how about it?
"We're a complete basketball team," he said.
That remains to be seen, starting Tuesday against a Butler team that executed meticulously and perfectly in the final minutes of its buzzer-beating win over Marquette. The Tar Heels, though, haven't exactly been spending their time parasailing since their arrival on the islands.
Bullock was asked the most fun thing he had done since arriving in Maui.
"Homework," he replied.
Uh, Reggie, is that the name of a really good restaurant in Lahaina?
"Homework is the most fun thing I've done," he said. "I believe this is a business trip. I've gotten my homework done, and I've looked at film. I want to save the fun stuff until Thursday. We have to get some wins before then."
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
This should work, Surplus Center has about anything you could ever need for a compressor and they have a really good (and friendly) tech dept.
Do you have a Tractor Supply nearby? They keep switches in stock or you can order from them online. Just make SURE that the switch you get has a connector for that un-loader!!
|v8 dan
Oldred I know this an old post but I have the same compressor that kartman bought, and in a move my regulator got broken off, no one at Home Depot knows where to get parts for these and everyone else says go to the website but all that does is take me to the Home Depot site for sales, any idea where I can pick up a regulator for this?
Thanks in advance
|You definitly got a deal on that one! Don't worry about the crankshaft end play believe it or not that is about normal for those things and if everything is still tight (apparently it is) then your compressor may last a long time. Considering how fast it builds pressure I would think that the total time on this outfit must be fairly low and that motor problem may have been due to running in a dirty environment, the clogged air filter would indicate that also but it would seem the pump survived without undue wear. I would suggest changing the oil in the pump again after an hour or so of operation and maybe again in another couple of hours to help remove any stray metal shavings left inside, after that you should be OK.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies and great suggestions. I spent a few hours after work in the garage pulling the motor off to run all the checks you suggested. Ended up taking the capacitors off, cleaned them up in addition to opening up the motor housing and vacuming up all the black soot/dust in there. Swapped out the electrical connectors (they were all gummed up) and put everything back together.
oldred: While I had the belt off, I checked the pump as you suggested and there was no side to side movement on the pulley or slack on the connecting rods (as far as I could tell anyways). However, if I pulled on the pulley in a front to back motion, there is approximately a 1/4 inch amount of play. Is this OK?
Put everything back together, hooked it up again and to my surprise, the motor came to life! Verified that the check valve, pressure switch and unloader are all functional. Here is a video of it running:
Does it sound like everything is normal? To fill the compressor from 0-135psi took approximately 6.5 minutes and from 90-135psi it took 2 minutes flat.
This is my first oil lubricated compressor and wanted to verify if it is supposed to be this loud. It is not quite as loud as my old oil less Devilbiss but it isn't quiet either.
Now all that is left for me to do is to chase down a small leak. I am losing about 5 psi in pressure every 30-45 minutes.
Thanks again guys!

Keep in mind that the amperage rating and the service factor (that's the 1.0 next the SF) determine the actual power of the motor. The 1.0 SF means it's an Up rated motor, actually smaller than whatever Horsepower they are claiming.
Make sure that you match up the new one to those ratings and you'll be fine.
You could just take that motor in to a Grainger or whatever you have close to you and match it up.
Oldred is absolutely right that the capacitors do sometimes blow, if that's the only problem, make sure you label the terminals before pulling the wires off, or you'll be scratching your head like crazy trying to figure out how to reconnect them.
One other thing is to see if it has an adjustable pressure switch. It may have been turned up extremely high, might have caused the problem with the motor, making it run too hard in order to attain a very high pressure.
No matter what, it was a good buy!
First off, for $80 you got a deal! That motor is by far the most commonly used unit for these compressors no matter what brand the compressor is, ditto for the pump. The usual failure for the motor is one or both of the capacitors on the motor and I bet if you pull the covers off the side of the motor one or both will be swelled and/or ruptured so check that first, even if the motor is toast you still got a heck of a deal. If the pump ran for a year and never had the oil changed at all then the color and the metal shavings would not be unusual but if the crank and rods are still sound you will probably be OK here, for a while anyway. With the belt off turn the pump flywheel back and forth and see if there is any slack that would indicate a rod loose on the crank and also listen for any "clanking" sounds. Most likely the pump is OK and the compressor was down from motor failure so if that is the case you would be money ahead to just scrap that Emerson and find yourself a good 15 AMP motor, maybe even another Emerson if you can get a good deal on one but a Baldor or GE would last a lifetime! There was discussion just in the last couple of days concerning a burned out compressor motor (another Emerson) and you may want to check for the same problems as a cause for this motor failure. IMMEDIATELY upon starting your new or repaired motor watch the compressor closely as it builds pressure for the first time and make sure you do not hear any hissing or other unusual sounds coming from the pressure switch. When it reaches shut-off pressure you should hear a short burst of air from the cutoff switch that would indicate the unloader valve is working, failure of this unloader system is probably the biggest cause of motor failure on these compressors. When the tank pressure falls to the startup level and the motor again kicks on make sure it does so easily and does not start slowly or try to stall. If the motor, with pressure in the tank, does seem to be under an excess load at startup then make sure the the plastic (probably plastic anyway) line from the pump discharge to the pressure switch (that's it going to the bottom of the pressure switch in the pic) is intact and not plugged. Also since this thing has been disassembled you want to make SURE the check valve that prevents pressure from flowing from the tank back into the pump is still in place, air should b able to flow from the pump into the tank but it should not be able to reverse direction and flow back into the pump. Hope this gets you started in the right direction and that the motor is the only problem but even if you have to replace both the motor and pump (not likely) you still got a really good deal since just a one year old tank by itself is worth a lot more than you paid.
BTW, when looking for a motor just remember that the Emerson was probably over-rated and and a 15 AMP motor is what you will be looking for. That 15 AMP Emerson was around 3 1/2 HP regardless of what the compressor labels claim which may have been as much as 7 "peak" HP!
Paging oldred: Husky Compressor Question
Been lurking on the forum for a few months reading all the posts I could about compressors. I came across a deal on CraigsList this weekend and bought this for $80:
I knew I was in for project when I went to pick this up as the compressor was more or less taken apart except for the motor and pump. He told me that it did run before he took it out of service. I turned the pulley to verify the pump was not seized up. Both motor and pump spun with ease so I gathered up the loose pieces, paid the man and went on my way.
Spent most of the weekend cleaning up the compressor (new fittings, changed the oil) and putting all the loose parts back on. When I hooked it all up and turned it on, nothing happened! Checked all my connections with the multi meter and verified that there is 240V (10/3 Romex connected to a 30A breaker) going the motor. Thought it was a bad pressure switch so I bypassed that and hooked the motor up directly to the hot leads and ground wire. Still nothing. Is the motor bad? Anything I can do to test this further or is my only recourse to try and find a new motor?
As for the pump, when I drained the oil it was very dark and had a lot of metal shavings in it. Im sure the original owner did not change it the entire time he had in service (a little over a year). The intake filter was VERY dirty as well and filled with oil. Is there a good chance the pump is toast too? Any tests I can try without a motor?
If any of the other fantastic members have any input, Im all ears! Thanks in advance for your advice.
BTW, this is a great forum .

text: is it possible to add food coloring to masking fluid to help make it easier to see where you're painting it on? I have some pretty bright white masking fluid but I was wondering if you could do that just to make it show up better in the event you're painting on something white. that make sense?

Dear Auntie,
The school I'm working at has asked for my help in arranging conversation classes for the students. The curriculum already in place is good for reading, writing, grammar etc, but students fall down when they have to make conversation as they have only learnt the set answers in the reading etc books. For example, no matter how they are feeling, when asked "how are you?" they always reply "fine".
Do you know of any good course book I could recommend, or of any websites I could look on?
Any help you could give would be much appreciated, otherwise it looks like I'm going to have to make up an entire conversation course all by myself! Yikes!
