Systematic Review of the Effects of Problem-Oriented Policing on Crime and Disorder, 1985-2006 (ICPSR 31701)
Principal Investigator(s): Weisburd, David, Hebrew University; Telep, Cody, George Mason University; Hinkle, Joshua, University of Maryland; Eck, John, University of Cincinnati
The purpose of this study was to synthesize the extant problem-oriented policing evaluation literature and assess the effects of problem-oriented policing on crime and disorder. Several strategies were used to perform an exhaustive search for literature fitting the eligibility criteria. Researchers performed a keyword search on an array of online abstract databases, reviewed the bibliographies of past reviews of problem-oriented policing (POP), performed forward searches for works that have cited seminal problem-oriented policing studies, performed hand searches of leading journals in the field, searched the publication of several research and professional agencies, and emailed the list of studies meeting the eligibility criteria to leading policing scholars knowledgeable in the the area of problem-oriented policing to ensure relevant studies had not been missed. Both Part 1 (Pre-Post Study Data, n=52) and Part 2 (Quasi-Experimental Study Data, n=19) include variables in the following categories: reference information, nature and description of selection site, problems, etc., nature and description of selection of comparison group or period, unit of analysis, sample size, methodological type, description of the POP intervention, statistical test(s) used, reports of significance, effect size/power, and conclusions drawn by the authors.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: crime prevention, law enforcement, police, police effectiveness
Smallest Geographic Unit: none
Geographic Coverage: Australia, Canada, Global, Israel, United Kingdom, United States
- 1985--2006
- 2006
Unit of Observation: outcome measure
Universe: All evaluations of problem-oriented policing published before 2006.
These data were collected as part of a systematic review for the Campbell Crime and Justice Coordinating Group (CCJG). Further information about the Campbell Collaboration and the Campbell Crime and Justice Group can be found at the Campbell Collaboration Web site.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this study was to synthesize the extant problem-oriented policing evaluation literature and assess the effects of problem-oriented policing on crime and disorder.
Several strategies were used to perform an exhaustive search for literature fitting the eligibility criteria.
- First, a keyword search was performed on an array of online abstract databases.
- Second, researchers reviewed the bibliographies of past reviews of problem-oriented policing.
- Third, researchers performed forward searches for works that have cited seminal problem-oriented policing studies.
- Fourth, researchers performed hand searches of leading journals in the field.
- Fifth, researchers searched the publications of several research and professional agencies.
- Sixth, after finishing the above searches, researchers emailed the list of studies meeting the eligibility criteria to leading policing scholars knowledgeable in the the area of problem-oriented policing to ensure relevant studies had not been missed.
Prior to analysis, the eligible studies were divided into two categories by study design Pre-Post Study Data (Part 1, n=52), and Quasi-Experiment Study Data (Part 2, n=19).
Eligible studies Part 1 (Pre-Post Study Data) and Part 2 (Quasi-Experimental Study Data), had to meet three criteria:
- The SARA (Scanning, Analysis, Response, Assessment) model was used for a problem-oriented policing intervention.
- At least one crime or disorder outcome was reported with sufficient data to generate an effect size.
- The study may deal with problem areas or problem people.
Eligible studies for Part 2 (Quasi-Experimental Study Data) also had to included a comparison group.
Mode of Data Collection: record abstracts
The following databases were searched:
- Criminal Justice Periodical Index
- Criminal Justice Abstracts
- National Criminal Justice Reference Services (NCJRS) Abstracts
- Sociological Abstracts
- Social Science Abstracts (SocialSciAbs)
- Social Science Citation Index

- C2 SPECTR (The Campbell Collaboration Social, Psychological, Educational and Criminological Trials Register
- Australian Criminology Database (CINCH)
- Centrex (Central Police Training and Development Authority) -- UK National Police Library
The following keywords were used to search the databases listed above (in all cases where "police" is listed researchers also used "policing" and "law enforcement"):
- "Problem-oriented policing"
- Police AND "problem solving"
- SARA model
- Police AND SARA
- Police AND scanning
- Police AND analysis
- Police AND "problem identification"
- Police AND identify AND problem
- Police AND "situational crime prevention"
The publications of the following groups were searched:
- Center for Problem-Oriented Policing (Tiley Award and Herman Goldstein Award submissions, Problem-Specific Guides for Police)
- Institute for Law and Justice

Logan • Here's a few quick extra notes and thoughts from the scrimmage:
• There are running back snaps for grabs. Joe Hill got a little rest after a few reps because he's obviously expected to be a huge contributor this fall. But believe this: Coaches will not ignore what Joey DeMartino did on Saturday. Running for 52 yards on nine carries, including a number of tackle-breaking plays, he's making a case as a change-of-pace guy or perhaps the 1A guy on the depth chart. Hill is the starter, but he's not going to take all the snaps. Utah State will take playmaking where they can get it if DeMartino keeps performing like he has.
• Nice day for the offensive line starters. Chuckie Keeton explained he thought the line performs at a bit of a disadvantage in camp because they can't cut like they might against a normal opponent (See: "Aggies helping Aggies"). Considering that, the line had a solid day against the second-team defense. On many plays, they were able to open up huge holes for Hill, Keeton and DeMartino. One of the most experienced lines in the country, the unit indicated they'll be ready to go against the Utes when they can go full bore.
• Travis Van Leeuwen is among the most targeted receivers in live situations. You might recall in the spring game that Van Leeuwen got a lot of looks, and the trend carried into the first fall scrimmage. One of his toughest grabs was a diving 24-yarder down the left flank. If he can make grabs like that more consistently, he'll be a breakout player in the receiving corps.
• Defensive backs still hunting for interceptions. There was no shortage of defensive plays on passes. Dre Snowden could've had a pick-six if he had held on. Dayton DeLoach nearly had two interceptions on the same drive. Jeremy Morris almost picked off Keeton on a diving play. But no one quite brought it in. Interceptions are tough plays, but the Aggies should start finishing with them considering how many times they're able to get their hands on passes. Really only the catching part is missing.
• Expect Utah State to play it safe with big contributors. You only need to look at the news coming out of Utes camp to understand the havoc serious injuries in August can create. Mo Alexander and AJ Pataiali'i weren't in pads Saturday, and Jake Doughty, Hill and a few others only had a few snaps. Matt Wells said there weren't any serious issues among them, just bumps and bruises common in football. But with this many returners, staying healthy is at a premium.
Coach Wells on that: "Some of those guys who have done it on Saturdays on game day, they'll have a set number of reps. We're gonna hit that and we're gonna shut them down for the live reps. We'll get them to the fight and be healthy. We've got a plan for every one of those veteran players who have played on that plan, and we'll stick to it."

My question is, should I do some rearranging? I hear larger hives go to the top during the winter so thought they need the honey when they move up. But being so few bees, should those frames of honey be put next to them and the top deep removed?
We got up in the mid 70s today. After the general advice was to reduce the space, and seeing the robbing attempts continually going on, it looked to me when it starts getting warmer the pests are going to start moving in. Since most of the two boxes are mostly empty except for a few bees here and there outside of the couple of frames of the main cluster, it probably would be hard for them to defend.
So now my question is, what about those frames of honey they had stored last summer? They are bringing in and storing new honey and don't seem to be using the old.

Then email us at microbe [at] asmusa [dot] org from the email address associated with your MicrobeWorld account.
How many star ratings does it take to make a story popular?
Star ratings is just one of the factors involved in having content become popular. Other factors include comments, views, etc. It is entirely possible that an item with poor ratings could be considered more popular than one that was rated with more stars. In other words, popularity does not mean a story is the best item on the site – similar to the old adage; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Instead, MicrobeWorld is trying to extrapolate consensus from all the "beholders."
How do I manage privacy settings on MicrobeWorld?
You can control what information to display in your profile by clicking "edit profile" under your avatar/image/photo under "My Profile" in the user toolbar. Check or uncheck the "Published" box next to each profile question.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by max, Apr 14, 2009.
Walt is the solution.
Very good, we established you don't care at all. So I say give the young kids a try. Better than not trying and never finding out for sure what they can or can not do.
Or finding out when its too late when they are on other teams.
Agreed. If it doesn't work, then what did we lose? We are losing with the vets, why not at least try losing with the youth. Either way, we are losing. Something else must be tried. And hey, we may just surprise someone and win. :D What I do know is that with the way we are playing with the slow vets, we will achieve nothing.
None of former Pistons has shined on other teams so far. Mini-Flip has had his moments in Atlanta but he had some games in Pistons uniform too... Darko is simple rotation player in total lottery team and Hayes sucks in sucking Nets... It is one of several myths in this forum that in Pistons underappreciated players will shine elsewhere but empirical data tells that it is not true. Heck, Delfino lost his spot in team where SF spot is still unfilled...
Darko was in Detroit for almost half his career, yet he only scored 152 out of his 1,858 points here. 114 out of his 1,362 rebounds here. He played 553 out of his 5,790 minutes here. We only gave the #2 pick the equivalent of 11.5 full games to prove himself over the course of 3 years. Total travesty.
Good point. I think you can discount everyone but Darko on that list. Hayes, Murray, etc.. are just doing what they did before they were here and while they were here. Delfino I don't think was ever counted on as being anything more than a 6th man. Prospects that have not bitten us are Darko, Rodney White ( 9th pick ), Mateen Cleeves ( 14th pick ). The one that has is Mehmet Okur but that was more of a choice between him or Sheed. Well, Amir is still on the team so we will see what happens over the summer.
Team record with the following Big men in the starting lineup. Amir: 15-9 (.625) Sheed: 33-30 (.524) Dyess: 12-18 (.400) Kwame: 12-18 (.400) Maxieel: 1-3 (.250) Of the 9 losses with Amir in the starting rotation, 8 were against playoff teams: @NJN, BOS, @POR, @UTA, DAL, BOS, CLE, @CHI, ATL How is that a failed experiment?
It's not.
Delfino chose to leave, and the Raps have since tried to get him back. Exactly. And i'm pretty sure the point of a down year is to see what you have youth-wise with PT unless the FO/coach is still under the delusion that we are competing for a championship. The confidence/chemistry of this team was ripped apart a long time ago; the vets look like they are mentally done.
Becausewhat it tells us is Amir is no more crucial for DET against good teams than anyone else in the lineup. So what if Amir is in the starting lineup when we beat Washington or Scramento or any other bad team. You would expect that if he was that important he would have been able to keep DET from losing to those playoff teams AND put up numbers to match... Player performance has been determined for decades via statistical output without having to be wrapped in caveats such as "when in the starting lineup," "when getting x # of minutes," "when on the floor with," "If played during," or any other number of detailed conditions that must be met to measure his performance. Shouldn't the determining factor be whether or not Amir Johnson performs BETTER than the other players at his position? I can't for the life of me understand why there has to be this mystical approach that ends in..."well, we don't know what he actually does on the court and you can't see it when he plays, but when he's on the court...we can't be beat." We really should just be packaging these guys up in other deals to make an effort to get established or consistent players or higher draft picks so we can actually draft a big man that IS KNOWN and has a much higher likelihood of producing long term TANGIBLE results when he plays.
Well, scream 'till you're blue in the face. But, Amir will not play because M.Curry cannot afford to have the fans see what this guy can do and then risk coaching suicide by sending him back to the bench.
Amir was the only Piston who had the guts to rough up James. That should be the strategy from the start. Sheed is the only starter big enough to do this, but he has nothing left in the tank. I say start Amir and let him make his 6 fouls good ones.
I loved the horse-collaring of LeBron. You know he didn't decide to that on his own though...he was instructed to do it. It seemed forced and against his mild nature.
Kwame would seem the perfect one to take a dive into LeBron's knee with his knack for clumsiness. I think you're alot less likely to be called for a flagrant if you "sweep the leg".
Low, thanks for the debate. Because we are taking positions here I am guessing that it is making it seem like I think Amir is the best player on the team and you think he is the worst. That is what happens when you argue a position and keep presenting evidence to make your case. I'm guessing that in reality, you probably put him at the 30th percentile while I put him at the 70th.
All of these player for or against, coach for or against, GM for or against arguments end up with extreme polarity. Unfortunately.
At the end of the day I grasp everyone's concepts. I don't feel he's the worst. I'd say your last sentence is probably accurate. I just don't feel, from what I've seen of Amir, that he is as talented or as effective as some believe. And....no, I hate to take extremes (although they make for great sarcasm)...I never got the impression that you thought he was the best. I think it all hinges on his perceived effectiveness overall. You are right...I do think the stats are a little more important. (Even using my guy as an example) While Ben Wallace had TONS of intangible effects on our team defense, he still managed to fill up the stat sheet with blocks, rebounds, and steals...not to mention a career high scoring avg under LB. So, I don't want anyone to think I've all of a sudden lost the ability to appreciate intangibles. I would be the 1st to come in here and tell your guys you were right if he becomes a powerhouse. I just don't have enough faith in his game at this point. I need to see something a little more convincing from him. But, hey....this is the purpose of a fan forum...and it works!
I agree with both of you. I just don't completely agree with both of you. I agree that Amir has upside. I agree that he brings energy, hustle to the game. I also agree that he isn't all that (yet) and might never be. He's still too small, and he's still defending with his hands. He's a mixed bag. We're probably better when he gets 10 minutes a game, but he's not playing at a 25 MPG level yet. But as The Low mentions, after 4 years, it's time to make a move. Either he's a steal or a reach at #56. I don't think we need to wait until he is 30 to find out.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Sheed is gone next year. How much more time does Amir get before we make a permanent decision on him?
Separate names with a comma.

Arsène Wenger is focused on his own team's improvement - and not Tottenham.
Arsenal's north London rivals are in fine form in the Premier League and climbed to third in the table with a comfortable 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Monday night.
Spurs were the last team to beat Wenger's side and are well-placed for a top-four finish - they are three points clear of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea and have a game in hand on all three.
Jack Wilshere's charity challenge to Spurs fans on Twitter has put the north London rivalry back on the agenda but Wenger is looking at the bigger picture.
"At the moment Spurs are fighting for the top four like we do," he said.
"At the end we can both be in the top four, and we will try everything possible to be in front of them. But that is not enough for me. With or without Tottenham what we want is to be in the top four. That's our target.
"People always make definite conclusions after one game. I saw the [Tottenham-Villa] game on Monday night and they weren't really challenged. There's a long way to go.
"I don't believe we have to focus on Spurs, we have to focus on us improving. It's important that we don't get confused about what we want to achieve. What we want to do is improve and play better."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

MLB • The New York Mets say Johan Santana has injured his left shoulder again and likely will need surgery and miss the 2013 season.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner missed the 2011 season following shoulder surgery in September 2010, then returned last year and pitched the first no-hitter in the team's history. He hasn't pitched in an exhibition game this year because of arm weakness.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Thursday that an MRI in New York a day earlier showed a "probable" re-tear of Santana's left shoulder capsule.
Alderson said Santana's $25 million salary this year is not covered by insurance. The Mets will also owe him a $6 million buyout after this season.
Omenyiora signs with Falcons
NFL • Osi Umenyiora is looking for another ring, this time with the Atlanta Falcons.
The free-agent defensive end Thursday signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with Atlanta. Umenyiora won two Super Bowl championships in his 10 years with the New York Giants.
• The Indianapolis Colts have acquired fullback and former Cottonwood High star Stanley Havili in a trade with Philadelphia in exchange for defensive end Clifton Geathers.

I have been doing cakes for 25 years and have always steered away from fondant, but I just had a bride insist on it and as I was searching youtube
I came across your video about the mat. I knew it would work because this is how I always made my pie crusts so I ordered the mat immediately. Needless to say it was a complete success. The cake was flawless! I am sending an attachment to share. Plus I used about 1/2 of the fondant that Wilton said was needed which saved me $$$ and made to overall texture of the cake more pleasant to eat!
You made my first fondant experience a GREAT one!

"Dirty Wars"
U.S. Documentary
***1/2 (three-and-a-half stars)
Jeremy Scahill is a reporter on a mission: To expose the unsavory and probably unconstitutional things done in our name as part of the "War on Terror." Those things include secret raids against unarmed civilians in Afghanistan, undeclared war in such nations as Yemen, and the ordered killing of U.S. citizens without trial or conviction. Scahill, a war correspondent mostly writing for The Nation, narrates this documentary, sort of an impressionist investigatory expose, that uncovers uncomfortable truths about what both the Bush and Obama administrations have done without public or media scrutiny. Director Richard Rowley creates an atmosphere more like a detective thriller than a static documentary, with Scahill's dogged reporting as the narrative thread uniting secret operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia.
Sean P. Means
No more screenings of "Dirty Wars" are scheduled. The movie has been picked up for distribution by Sundance Selects.

I'm here going to school and this is my 3rd season of hunting here and I hunt the same 2 spots, one on the Maddison river, and one piece of land outside of big timber on the yellowstone.
I'm trying to find some new land to hunt for next season which will be my last season in Montana. I've looked over the block management land maps rigorously looking for land in the surrounding area to hunt ducks. If any one has any leads or tips to follow that would be awesome. I'm new around here so I don't know where the public ground around here is. Only what I've been told so far and what I've found on the maps.
I'm going to do a ton of scouting and asking for permission next fall and I know you don't want to give up the good spots but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know there are spots out there according to this sweet video.


text: Chauncey Billups vs. Larry Hughes mikhail1973 Chauncey has experience and help on his side. He's had strong playoffs and should continue the same. He can score and he can pass and he's been driving the ball more in the playoffs. On the other side we have Hughes who's been in the complementary role to LBJ. He struggled with his shooting in the playoffs and realistically he is not a point guard. He can't set up his teammates. He might be a decent defender, but most likely won't get much help from his teammates. Advantage: Detroit adpreston1988 Billups is definitely the better player in this matchup. His strength and 3-point ball are deadly, which should give him the advantage. However, Larry Hughes is a solid player and he might tip the balance as to which way the series goes. Advantage: Detroit Dumars4Ever Hughes is a "volume scorer," usually requiring a lot of shots to get points. He's only shooting 37% from the floor in the playoffs, although he can occasionally heat up on 3s (35% in the post-season). The guard matchups might switch on occasion in this series, so I'm not sure that he'll be on Chauncey the whole time, but either way, the Pistons win both matchups. Advantage: Detroit linwood Their numbers are pretty close, but Bigshot averages twice as many assists. Chauncey has been playing well and has been here before. This one is all about Billups. Advantage: Detroit bezeach Chauncey Billups wins this matchup because numbers don't lie. Billups leads in almost every statistical category over Larry Hughes. The biggest advantages for Billups is the PPG category (17.0 vs. 14.9), the Assists category (7.2 vs. 3.7) and the FG % category (42.7% vs. 40%.) The edge goes to the Pistons. Advantage: Detroit st8ofmind Chauncey on Offense vs Larry Hughes - Hughes excels as a defender by disrupting passing lanes and with deflections. Mr. Big has a rock (no mortgage company endorsement implied) solid handle so that is not much of a concern. On D Hughes is prone to gamble which would leave Chauncey open for kick out 3's if others can force double teams. I see Snow (a great D matchup if I'm Cleveland) or Gibson checking Chauncey more often than Hughes unless Mr. Big needs to be 'cooled' in that case Hughes might get the assignment. Chauncey can overpower Hughes, but it will be tough to finish over him Larry Hughes on O vs Chauncey. Hughes is an enigmatic offensive player, either brilliant or a glaring detriment to his team and that seems to be determined by his shot selection and jumper falling. He's not even kinda maybe a pure point guard, but an exceptional slasher and streak jump shooter. On a side, the series got a lot tougher once Hughes got back into the fray after returning from the loss of this younger Bro and got Flip Murray the hell off the court. That will be one of the bigger changes. If you watch an 'and 1' highlight reel of the two you'd say advantage Hughes, if you watched a meaningful PLAYOFF game you'd say advantage Billups. Chauncey's game management and the fact he needs a bulldozer to carry around his huevos late in a game results in. Slight to Significant Edge... Advantage: Detroit Dlev59 Billups is usually at his PG best against the Cavs. He avg. double digit assists against them for the four regular season games. CB seems to be very patient against this team allowing the game to come to him. He will be guarded some by Hughes and also Eric Snow off the bench. Snow at times gives him more trouble than the taller Hughes. Look for Billups to get his teammates involved early, and look to take over whenever needed. Hughes is a gambling defender who mostly looks to play help defense. He plays passing lanes very well resulting in a fair amount of steals. On offense he has been known to knock down a few jumpers and can hit the three occassionally. Hughes can also go to the basket and finish. CB must make him prove he can hit the jumper. Advantage: Detroit Maverick Chauncey Billups has a good deal of strength on Hughes, look for him to post up even more in the coming series. I also don't see Hughes as being able to stop Chauncey from getting his shot off. The only advantage I see for Cleveland in this match up is that Hughes has a lil bit of quicks on CB, but I really don't see how he is going to capitalize on that against our renewed interior defense. Advantage: Detroit dba Like the Chicago series I think we'll see a lot of switching from the guards. I'd expect Cleveland to move Hughes over to Rip a fair amount of the time. CB can't shoot over Hughes easily, but he can get him into foul trouble. Hughes has shot badly in the playoffs from two, but does get on the boards. The Detroit guards will need to put a body on him or expect to see a lot of offensive rebounds and some points in the paint. CB does way more for the Pistons than Hughes gets done for the Cavs. Advantage: Detroit BillLaimbeer Billups has a strong advantage in this match-up. His stats (20.5 pts, 7.0 ass, 3.0 reb) are better, but his experience, leadership, and ability to come up big during crunch time are key. Advantage: Detroit

The 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) was held November 3-8 in San Francisco, CA. AIChE, the professional society for chemical engineers, hosted over 5,000 participants at the meeting, the largest AIChE conference yet. The conference offered great opportunities for learning about all aspects of chemical engineering and networking with movers and shakers from both academia and industry. I attended the conference and was one of several INBT-affiliated researchers to present my work, along with Kimberly Stroka (Konstantopoulos lab), Wei-Chiang Chen (Wirtz lab), and Pei-Hsun Wu (Wirtz lab). It was a great time to catch up with colleagues, and I met up with my undergraduate research advisor, friends from college, and past colleagues from Hopkins who have moved on to other institutions.
The fascinating thing about the AIChE Annual Meeting is the wide variety of topics covered. The diversity of fields studied in chemical engineering has long been a source of pride for ChemE's. I attended sessions covering topics as disparate as protein engineering, membrane separations, biosensors, industrial pharmaceuticals production, and cell migration, all while missing out on sessions about teaching, chemical engineering and the law, catalysis, and oil production. I was especially interested in research presented by industry professionals. These presentations gave me a new appreciation for the scope of industrial research projects, where changing one variable in a test tank can cost thousands and thousands of dollars.
Overall, the large number of sessions held at the conference provides great opportunities for students to give oral presentations, and undergraduate and graduate poster sessions enable even more students to publicize their projects. I would highly recommend the Annual Meeting for graduate and undergraduate chemical engineering students.

There is a big difference between saying that all crimping tools are useless and that the inexpensive ones sold by Lowes/Home Depot/etc., are useless...
I use a non-ratcheting lug crimping tool that works quite well. I've seen the results of a decent lug crimping tool and would argue that even 4/0 AWG wire lugs can be successfully crimped with regularityUSING THE PROPER TOOLS.
The information was given to me by one of our neighbors who, with 40+ years in the industry, is the chief electrical engineer for one of the largest electrical wire and equipment distributors in the US. His comment was in answer to my question as to which "crimper" I should use when I was installing my own windlass. Unless I was willing to spend several hundred dollars for a tool for which I would only have very limited use, he indicated that the less costly devices sold by Lowes, Home-Depot et al, simply made poor connections. By comparison, the "Swage-It" tool is inexpensive, has many applications, can be used with relative ease in the narrow and tight confines of a boat; and, by applying uniform compressive pressure to the throats of the lugs ensures that the material of the lugs "flows" in and around the stands of the copper wire providing the best connection--just as does a swaged fitting on rigging wire.
Frankly, I don't care one way or another, nor am I an expert on the subject. However, I did, in 2006, go through the process the OP is going through, and thought he might benefit by my experience. Or not.

I agree 100% with that sentiment. That is not however what you wrote, hence my response. You made a broad based factual type of statement that was read and interpreted by me to include all lug crimpers as not being effective, not just cheap HD ones.
I also own one of the Ancor hammer type crimp tools and would not wish that tool on my worst enemy, especially at $90.00. Does it crimp? Sure, but not a crimp I would want owm my own boat..
Like you I would probably opt for the Swage-It tool over the Ancor hammer crimper, but I'd opt for my lug crimper over the Swage-It every time and yes, I do own Swage-It tools also..
This is actually one of the more amusing statements I've seen lately, especially as I have crimped LOTS of 4/0 lugs... What factual basis do you have for this statement?

3. All this discussion of crimpers is of no use. Crimpers do not give a diecent connection between the lugs and the wire and particularly 4/0 wire.
The right crimper, for the right lug, will make an excellent connection, as it is specifically engineered to do by the manufacturer of the lugs or by a third party manufacturer.
For lugs I use an FTZ Industries Correct Crimp crimper. I use it with FTZ industries heavy duty lugs and use the specified dies for crimping the specific terminals (FTZ Lug / Die Specs). This crimper exerts 10,000 pounds of crimp pressure on the lug and is what FTZ stands behind to crimp their lugs. Never once had any issues over hundreds & hundreds of lugs crimped. My local battery wholesaler who makes tons more battery cables than I do uses the same crimper, day in day out.
The FTZ or the Quick Cable Hexacrimp are excellent tools with the proper sized dies for the heavy duty lugs both sell. Many of the crimpers from HFT and other makers are NOT designed for the cast heavy duty marine type lugs, have the wrong sized dies and can over crimp, pinch and fracture the wire internally.
Feel free to use your swage it tool, I have no doubt that it may make a decent connection, but to say that proper crimp tools do not make a proper connection is simply poor information without any factual basis..
BTW there are only two brands of heavy duty lugs I will even use these days. I use the ones made by Quick Cable and the ones made by FTZ. The Ancor lugs have gone WAY down in quality lately course they never made any lugs to begin with only sourced them from the lowest bidder. Their wire is not even theirs and is made by multiple companies some US and some not.
HexCrimp (LINK)
FTZ Correct Crimp (LINK)
|This is the one I use but probably not worth it for the crimps most owners need as Genuinedealz charges only $1 labor per crimp. I see the point about aligning the lugs properly but if you lay the entire cable out and then connect the lugs to the windlass, solenoid, and batteries after it should work ok. A good crimper isn't inexpensive unfortunately and hard to justify for a few crimps. You may be able to rent a crimper locally however.
FWIW you might find it worth reading through this thread: Cleaning Corrosion from High Tension Electrical Cables - Page 2 - Cruisers & Sailing Forums . I went through the trials of installing a windlass just as you are now. A couple of thoughts:
1. ensure the lugs you order are the correct size for the studs on both your battery, the solenoid; and, your windlass.
2. Do not have the lugs installed before you run your wire. It is certain that the bends and curves in the wire will all but ensure that the lugs are not oriented in the correct direction for the studs. Schedule 4/0 wire does not like to be twisted, and in some cases, cannot be.
3. All this discussion of crimpers is of no use. Crimpers do not give a decent connection between the lugs and the wire and particularly 4/0 wire. Instead, I used a "Swage-It" tool which completely compresses the lugs around and into the wire. By adding your adheasinve shrink tubing beforehand and then sliding it up and over the ends of the lugs, you end up with completely water tight connections. And the Swage-It tool is inexpensive and very usefull aboard.
Good luck.
I have been looking at Genuinedealz.com and will take the final, final measurement tonight with my wife and then order tomorrow (Friday), I will order the 4/0 cables with the ends on and shrink tubing.
We will be ordering our battery cables as we replace the existing ones so they will get ends crimped on at that time. So a crimping tool would be nice however I think we can get by without it. Now for crimping terminal ends I have been eying a ratcheting crimping tool though, that seems something like the gift to myself that will keep on a crimping for me.
I just ordered this Heavy Duty Battery Crimping tool for $99 shipped.
EZ B795 Heavy Duty Battery Crimping Tool - eToolDirect
If you want, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.
Go with good terminals, like those from Ancor or FTZ and either get a proper battery terminal crimping tool or order the cables from Genuinedealz.com and have them crimp the terminals on for you. Add adhesive lined shrink tubing to further seal them.

If I'm reading this chart correctly, it does say that you should use a 2awg for a 50-80' run. On the Lewmar windlass I just bought, the manual says that you want to stay below a 10% drop, but I opted for just a 2.86% to be safe.

I carried a Glock 26 for 8 years. Never a problem. Just never shot it well. In fact, except for my Glock 34 which comes with a lighter trigger, I have always shot every other Glock I have owned low and to the left. No practice fixed it (prev had a G17,29 and 26). The lighter trigger of the 34 fixed this issue, for whatever reason.
Anyway, after 8 years, I ditched the G26 last year for a compact P99. I am much happier with it. More accurate "for me." And, I like the trigger much better

Adjustable footrest
The Stokke® Xplory® stroller's ingenious adjustable footrest ensures no dangling feet, whatever the height of your child. This is not just a question of comfort, though. A footrest fastened at the correct height can help to aid the healthy development of bones, joints and muscles. And feet planted firmly on the footrest enable ease of movement of the upper body too, meaning your child can readily shift his or her seating position at will.
Adjustable seat depth
The Stokke® Xplory® is fitted with a removable seat insert to accommodate the smallest babies. The reduced depth that the insert creates makes for a seating position designed for the shortest of legs, and offers a flatter back position for when your baby is resting or sleeping. This helps to reduce stress and ensures healthy growth. Then, as your child gains in height and weight, you can remove the insert so that the depth of the seat corresponds to the length of your child's legs.

Against all my expectations in trying it, this product is 100% effective. I take 2-3 pills with each substantial meal and I have lost over 20 lbs. I can eat more calories and fat and still remain at a stable weight. I'm very cynical and scientific about supplements, assuming that they're bunk and a waste of money, but I researched the logic behind CLA as a chemical and decided to try it. I'm completely convinced that it's safe and sustainable in its effects. I intend to keep using it indefinitely to maintain the significant weight loss and energy results it provides. Recommended!

The Limted Edition Boba Fett Blaster arrived today. Here is a few photos of the prop and one of my Lemur named Jango.
wow, the weathering on that lemur looks almost screen accurate!
Hey nice blaster their. I heared they can be a bit expensive, but well worth it.
Very cool! That display case must be a monster. What's the overall length of the whole display?
Why does that lemur look so surprised??
you have a pet LEMUR!?!?!?!
i love those little critters! i always break the zoo rules and stick my fingers in their section to play with them. so cute!!!!
oh, and nice gun too i guess
Are you sure that's not a rabid racoon all hyped up on coffee? You might just have to use that blaster. That blaster looks better than the original I think.
How heavy is the blaster?
Nice prop and Lemur!
I really have to throw my 2 cents in on MR. That is a Hoooorrrribble paint job. They really skimped on that especially for the price these things are.
I think if I ever got one I would have to repaint it on principle. To heck with collectibility.
Other than that it looks very nice... and is mostly if not all metal? Not sure about that, though.
Perhaps pics in natural light would help? It looks very plain under the flash... Is it just drown out a bit maybe? I remember the earlier pics showing a lot more weathering and detail.
The blaster is very heavy. It's almost like your are carrying a real gun. The box it comes in is at least 4 if not 5 feet long. The flash affacted the photos but it is really a great item. Display case is very well made this time around.
Jango is so surprised because he did not know we had such a big weapon coming to protect from the Foozah!
I had no idea you could keep lemur's for pets! that's cool! Nice review and pics of the MR too btw.
If you look at the upper right most photo, you can see that they got the bomb rack half wrong. This is what I should look like.
The real thing has both the left and right.
I had noticed the bomb rack being different before as well, but what I didn't notice until going back and looking at the pics is that the one on the side of the blaster we are used to seeing in pics is correct and the other side is different.
I guess the question would be is this considered screen accurate or an MR blunder?
I would call it MR blunder. Seeing that every photo I have ever seen of the real think does not look like that.
I had a look at one on Saturday, it did look very nice overall but it seemed very sanitised, this is possibly due to the lack of weathering. Still a very nice item though.
I noticed this as well, the weathering on the MR is pretty crappy.
I am disappointed. Hopefully, there wont get blotched up too.
They aren't making a ROTJ helmet.
^^^or are they???? lol, I just grabbed a quick smiley, you got the idea though.
I would prefer the lemur over anything MR has to sell. : )

An overwhelming majority of Finns, age 55 to 64 are more receptive to the idea of restrictions on Internet free speech than are younger Finns. three out of four in the older group accept some form of restrictions on free speech. Younger men and women are against such restrictions. Most probably, incidents such as the shootings in a Finnish school have made older people aware how the Internet can serve as a means of communication for young people and make them aware of various forms of violence. Many would accept the concept of preventive censorship to prevent certain ideas being presented on the Internet.
One might suspect that older people attribute violence as stemming from Internet and other forms of media which readily project brutality on public media. Younger people know that violence is an individual decision and is not shaped by the Internet or other forms of media.

I hunt the Missouri River. Problem is that because of my job I can not get out and do any scouting on the water. There are only a couple places where I can drive to and see the water.
1--Anyone have this problem??? What did you do to remedy the situation?
2--Are there certain things that you look for on maps that are more likely to produce?
Any advise...and sorry to say a career change is not an option.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
There are cases where the alternator will "back feed" power to the ignition system. The cure for this is to use a diode in the wire that goes to the alternator light on the dash.
The choke sounds like it's working normally- it should partially open once the truck first starts, just enough to allow the engine to run cleanly. As far as it not closing all the way when the engine is cold, it won't close until the throttle is opened to allow the choke to set. If it's still not closing all the way, as long as the engine starts easily and remains running I wouldn't worry about it. But if you think it might do better closing more and staying on longer, you can adjust it to close more by turning the coil cover.
There's always a chance the timing tab and the line on the damper aren't showing true TDC. DETERMINE TDC. This will allow you to be sure the timing tab and damper are correctly showing you TDC
MAKE A TIMING TAPE will let you see the timing beyond what the tab can show you.
Finished re-gapping the plugs, and retested starting the truck when cold. The truck starts much better (not perfect). So the truck starting when cold is better and the smell of gas is better.
When I rev the motor (upon first starting), the motor hesitates and seems to be bogged down. Once warm is seems to do OK. I guess I still have some weak power (as my first post stated). Any thoughts here?
btw - it takes 4-5 seconds for the truck to turn off when turning off the vehicle. I wouldn't say it diesels but it just keeps running.
It just feels like I'm missing something here. Lots of issues, wondering if they are all related?
This might show my newbie side but I set the timing with the vacuum attached to the distributor. I set it to 8BTDC. I truck ran much better and started well enough. I'll test it when it's cold to make sure.
When I realized I forgot to remove and plug the vacuum, I went through the process again (this time I disconnected the vacuum and plugged it). When I disconnected the vacuum line, timing went to 4 after TDC. I adjusted again to 8BTDC, turned off the motor, put everything back together. The truck went back to not starting, idling very high, etc, etc. The timing mark was off the scale. It was not as bad as before but still I couldn't tell you how far. I adjusted the timing by feel then used the timing light to see where I was at. Again, it was back to 8BTDC.
So, is this right? I appreciate any guideance or suggestions.
The choke is hot air and seems to work. It is during the initial cold start the chock valve does not close unless manually closed. When I close by hand and get the truck started, it quickly opens slightly and then when warm, opens the whole way. I wonder if the vacuum diaphragm is defective? I tried tapping the carb and using a lubricant with no success.
Thanks, I appreciate any insight.
On the carb, rebuilding it will only affect the choke in that it will have cleaned linkages and should be free to move. The kit will have instructions on how to bench adjust the choke, too. Final adjustment is done w/the carb on the engine.
You likely have either a "divorced" or a "hot air" choke. Divorced has a thermostat on the intake w/a link connecting to the choke arm on the carb.
Hot air uses a round black plastic choke in a housing attached to the side of the carb and will have a pipe running to it from the intake or exhaust manifold so hot air can reach the choke. The tube needs to be in place.
A carb kit costs about $20. To have a pro rebuild it can cost $100-plus. You might
find someone to do it for less, just be sure they know what's up.
Once you get back w/what kind of choke you have and what's up w/it we can go from there on setting it up to work.
On the carb im not real sure. Im more of a efi guy. Sounds like you need to talk to a parts guy. Take it up and have them take a look and see what they say on the choke and rebuild kit. The rebuild kit should be cheap and easy. The 4b would be an upgrade for sure but not cheaper then fixing what u have. I would consider any 2b a weak link but im a hotroder . I guess since it has a 2b that its a 305 motor. They say .045 on the plug gap.
Checked the timing this weekend. When I put the timing light on the balancer, I couldn't even find the timing mark. Played with it until it came into view. It was advanced way too far. That explains the high idle speed, hard to start, gas smell and poor gas mileage. Although 10 BTDC was recommended, the truck seemed to run better at 8 degrees BTDC.
Don't get me wrong, its not fixed completely (choke is still an issue). Not sure how well the truck will start when it's cold again. After warming up and fixing the timing, the truck started very well. I can manually shut the carburetor and start it later when it's cold...I guess we'll see. I'll report back later.
-If you rebuild a carb, will that fix the choke?
-What does it cost to rebuild a carb? Either myself or a pro
-I currently have a 2BB carb so wonder if the cost is high enough to upgrade to a 4BB carb and intake? I know I want to but I'm too cheap ;-)
-Even when warm, the truck had a slight hesitation when I hit the throttle. I gapped the spark plugs at .40, maybe .45 is better?
thanks for all your advice.
|No problem. I would get your known issue fixed witch is the carb. Rebuild it and make sure the choke is working. Then see how it works. I am not a old time hotroder so im not familiar with that system, (born in 1980) but if the carb is gummed up and the float is stuck then it could be why its flooding. Also could be short on air. A rebuild or even a adjustment could fix the problem. Take a screw driver and tap on the float bowl and see if that helps. Maybe u can break it loose if its stuck. Dont go overboard with the tapping lol. No hammer needed like on a stuck starter. Only need to use the screw driver handle and tap it a couple times fair pressure.
I think I am flooding it. It takes forever to start, so I'm pumping the pedal constantly. I don't see the choke working either....problem #1. When it's warm, is seems ok but power is weak and still smells of gas even after running for a while.
Timing and valve train are unknown. I'll checking timing and report back. Not sure how to check valve train.
Thanks for the reply
|Are you flooding it? Check and see if the timing is set? Your valve train is wore out? Give us more info if u can and look into the the things I questioned.
hard to start, gas smell, little power
I have a 1959 Chevy Apache Truck. It has a 1978 V8 chevy motor. It is hard to start when cold, smells terrible of gas and power is weak. Since I don't know much about this truck, I need a place to start. I've changed oil, plugs and wires with no change in result. Ideas?

Press release – 25.09.2012
Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes guidelines to combat discrimination in employment
Strasbourg, 25.09.2012 – The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) of the Council of Europe today issued its General Policy Recommendation No.14 which calls the Council of Europe's 47 member States to stop racism and racial discrimination in employment.
Harassment, victimisation and segregation are still found in Europe, says ECRI, with some workers facing "multiple discrimination" on different grounds at the same time, such as "race", gender and religion.
Governments need to launch national plans promoting equality and preventing discrimination in employment, in both the public and private sector, says ECRI.
The guidelines also urge governments to enact and apply laws which afford genuine protection against direct and indirect discrimination. Workers who complain of racial discrimination or racial harassment should also be protected against dismissal or other retaliatory action.
Tax or insurance reductions for employers with a multicultural workforce, funding for training, recognition awards or certificates are some of the incentives that governments should adopt to encourage employers to combat discrimination in employment.
"Promotion of non discrimination is a good marketing tool for employers" says ECRI, on the contrary "a reputation for discrimination could have a negative impact on company's profitability".
"Eliminating racial discrimination and providing equality of access to employment and to promotion can result in the creation of a diverse workforce which offers an unlimited pool of talent" states ECRI. "An inclusive working environment which promotes diversity is of benefit to employers and employees and the whole of society."
The full text of the Recommendation can be found at www.coe.int/ecri
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, colour, citizenship, religion and language (racial discrimination), as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member states.

Microsoft launched Windows 8 on October 26th, and as of the middle of November they have already released 12 important updates – as well as many more recommended updates. Security holes have been fixed, Internet Explorer has been patched, core operating system files have been updated and you may be dangerously out of date with your barely one month old operating system if you haven't run Windows Update recently.
Before I go too far into the DOOOOOM!!! speech, let me say that this is a very normal thing for new operating systems. Even though Microsoft makes every effort to test and verify the software before shipping, there are hundreds of thousands of possible hardware and software combinations. There are even more possible uses for each of those combinations, and as security holes, bugs and feature flaws are found it's typical for a rash of patching to take place the first few months of an operating systems launch. The term "early adopter" is used with people who buy operating systems at or near product launch due to the chance of running into these bugs and frequent patches.
So how do you make sure you're patched up?
The easiest way is to make sure you've got automatic install of updates turned on. The easiest way to verify this is to go to the Windows 8 interface (click the Windows key on your keyboard) and start typing Windows Update. This will begin a search for the phrase Windows Update in programs. Click on the settings option in the upper right hand corner of the screen and you should now see 6 options come up.
Click Turn automatic updating on or off.
Click the drop down box under Important Updates and select the option you would like. I would recommend Install updates automatically (recommended) and also click the checkbox next to Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates. Click OK when you are done and agree to any Windows user account control popup asking for permission to modify your system settings.
If you don't enable automatic installation, or have optional updates, you can check those by opening up the Windows 8 interface by clicking the Windows key on keyboard or clicking lower left hand corner of screen and typing Windows Update. Click on settings then click Install optional updates. From this window you can also check for updates manually, view your update history and change your automatic update settings.
If you do not have automatic updates set up I would recommend checking once every week until at least February. Remember to also check with device manufacturers and software vendors for program updates specific to Windows 8.
