Hey, I was wondering if there will be any other musicians coming? I'm a banjo picker and will bring my banjo if anyone else brings along a guitar/mandolin/bass/fiddle/something to do some hillbilly jammin! Just a thought. A get together like this one just wouldn't be right without some backwoods pickin. :-DSean Kelly
Well unless work screws things up, this trip is going to be a go for me. My wife wants to take a few extra days and have us spend some time in Seattle and Vancouver. So we may make a vacation of it. Spend time with Brian and party and then go out and see some of the other areas. Sincerely,Brendhan
Yeah!!!! Look what's happening!!! Brendhan and is Wife is coming now too (hopefully). Every time I read this thread I get a little bit more excited (how could I get any more excited than I am already). This is gonna be the best party of my life!!! I can picture all of the great music that ya'll are gonna be makin', great friendships that we are cultivating, and fun, fun, fun!!! Brian, remember delegate, delegate, delegate. All of us will be there to help you, we are planning on coming down a day early to get things ready, we are strong, we can work like horses for ya and do so much of the heavy duty stuff!!!
Brian, you are in that microclimate. Is the weather going to be sunny? Hee, hee. I am thinkin' that I remember you seem to get an awful lot of sunshine down your way, and it is gonna be hot!!! Yeah!!! I am the queen of the heat, I love the sunshine and heat!!! Beautiful day, beautiful life, dreamin' of Brian's great barbeque weekend!!!!
Brian, there is nothing better than sitting around a fire pit. If you can, yes, get one ready. Ken and I can dig the hole if that is how you want to do it. I am really, really, really good at digging, that is my excellent part, strong legs that can dig and dig and dig, hee, hee. Did I say enough about digging? I spend half my life digging here, my rock pile shows that, hee, hee. One day I will have to post another picture of the before and now of my rock pile near the apiary, three years of digging, throwing rocks and hauling rocks makes for a pretty big rock pile. Oh brother, ramblin'.....Do you have any fire restrictions about contained fires? I don't know if we do or not, but we always have those summertime fires in our pit, we have a couple of them around our property actually. One in the front for the adults and one in the back for the teenagers (when they are allowed to). We know how to be very safe around fire stuff, all children are taught that here. The young ones must always have a hose near their firepit. Now that is a couple of very long hoses, but it is a must. Ooops, ramblin' again.
We will all bring our sidedishes. Would you like me to bring a couple of Muscovy ducks to roast? I will have as many as we all require. Say the word......Have a beautiful and most great day, our lives are great ones to groove on. Cindi
We bought a beautiful new drake yesterday, a one year old and man what a beauty!!! No name yet, that will come.
JP, nope!!! Bad memories. Brian, nice, I would like that, but too long. My Sister and I both thought at the same time to call him Drake -- go figure that one -- her and I are very mind-linked many times, so many times, it gives me the willies. So be that name. Best of a beautiful and wonderful day, this is a groovey life. Cindi

One thing I am very conscious of is wet clothing, you might as well have nothing on, they can sting right through the wet cloth. Beemaster says it best though, when he said he would take a hundred bees sting to one sting from a yellow jacket. I for one HATE yellow jackets even if they do have a purpose in life--death to all those nasty,mean,foul tempered,honey robbing,picnic spoiling,kid chasing so and so's that give our gentle honey bee a bad rap. :x

Firearm possession lands Berlin man in prison
Albert was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Concord. He had earlier pleaded guilty to the charge.
Authorities said Albert was convicted of felonies in Coos County Superior Court in 1997 and 2008. Yet in late 2011, the Berlin police and FBI determined he possessed a 12-gauge shotgun and 45/410-caliber pistol.
Albert must also serve three years of supervised release.

So I couldn't bring myself to pay $60 for a padded stock for my dummy launcher. Instead I opted to make on myself.
You will need....
About 2' of 1.5" PVC
One 1.5" PVC T joint
Some glue
A drill
A piece of para cord or string
Very simply, cut an 8" long channel in the PVC starting around the bottom of the handle and descending just past the length of the handle when drawn.
Tie a string to the knob on the end and feed it through the channel.
Tie a knot or handle loop in the para cord so it won't fall into the pipe.
Glue the T joint to the bottom of the PVC
Shoot dummies!

The Orion DSLR Camera Cooler is literally the coolest DSLR astrophotography accessory to come along in years. Orion is pleased to introduce the first commercially produced, affordable "cold box" for select Canon DSLR cameras. This insulated, thermoelectrically cooled chamber chills the camera's imaging sensor, significantly reducing troublesome thermal noise in your astrophotos. When you're imaging the night sky in warm or hot weather, especially, such noise can wreak havoc on deep-sky images. Now, here's a practical solution.
Unlike many specialized astronomical CCD cameras, DSLRs do not have an internal cooling system. The Orion DSLR Camera Cooler acts as an "external" cooling system, featuring a 51-watt Peltier cooler that lowers the temperature inside the sealed chamber up to -43°F (-24°C) from ambient. And it works fast, achieving a temperature delta of -30°F or more in just 30 minutes. As the "before and after" dark frames demonstrate below, the DSLR Camera Cooler significantly reduces unwanted noise. This noise reduction allows longer exposures, fewer dark frames, and less work in post-processing, resulting in smoother, more highly resolved, better images.
Unlike direct-cooling Peltier installations that permanently alter your camera (and void your manufacturer's warranty), the DSLR Cooler requires no camera modification. This means you can still use your Canon DSLR to take regular pictures when you aren't using it for astrophotographic purposes with a telescope.
The DSLR Camera Cooler is compatible only with select Canon EOS cameras widely used by astrophotographers: 1100D (T3), 550D (T2i), 500D (T1i), 1000D (XS), 450D (XSi), 400D (XTi), and 350D (XT).
The Orion DSLR Cooler runs on external 12V power and draws 3.7-4 amps, so we recommend using a marine-type battery of at least 30 amp-hours capacity or AC power via an optional AC-to-12V DC power adapter rated at 4 amps or more. A DC auto-lighter cable is included.
Weighs 2 lbs., 7 oz.
Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.

Ubuntu Linux--the most popular Linux distribution on the planet--preserves the spirit embodied in the ancient African word ubuntu, which means both "humanity to others" and "I am what I am because of who we all are." Ubuntu won the Linux Journal Reader's Choice Award for best Linux distribution and is consistently the top-ranked Linux variant on DistroWatch.com. The reason this distribution is so widely popular is that Ubuntu is designed to be useful, usable, customizable, and always available for free worldwide.
Ubuntu Hacks is your one-stop source for all of the community knowledge you need to get the most out of Ubuntu: a collection of 100 tips and tools to help new and experienced Linux users install, configure, and customize Ubuntu. With this set of hacks, you can get Ubuntu Linux working exactly the way you need it to. Learn how to:
Ubuntu Hacks will not only show you how to get everything working just right, you will also have a great time doing it as you explore the powerful features lurking within Ubuntu.
"Put in a nutshell, this book is a collection of around 100 tips and tricks which the authors choose to call hacks, which explain how to accomplish various tasks in Ubuntu Linux. The so called hacks range from down right ordinary to the other end of the spectrum of doing specialised things...More over, each and every tip in this book has been tested by the authors on the latest version of Ubuntu (Dapper Drake) and is guaranteed to work. In writing this book, it is clear that the authors have put in a lot of hard work in covering all facets of configuring this popular Linux distribution which makes this book a worth while buy."

The tool on the cover of Ubuntu Hacks is a tuning fork. This device, used primarily to tune musical instruments, is a two-tined, U-shaped metal bar that emits a pure tone of a specific pitch when struck against an object. It was invented in the early 18th century by British musician John Shore, a trumpeter in the employ of King George I. The "pitch fork," as Shore referred to it, has endured in modern times as an extremely useful tool for orchestral musicians. Its sonic properties have also been harnessed for sundry purposes, ranging from timekeeping in quartz watches to sonopuncture therapy.The cover image is a stock photo from Photodisc Images.

Ubuntu hacks = Linux hacks
By deserthowler
from Undisclosed
A few months ago I wrote a detailed review of Ubuntu Hacks for the Tucson Computer Society. At this time, I thought there were several interesting tips and I rated the potential use of this book very highly. The tips I tried well written and worked ... a good combination!!Since this time, I switched from Kubuntu to Ubuntu. I also began using Debian Etch seriously. I find the book very useful for both Ubuntu and Debian.Most hacks applied to Linux in general so, besides becoming a Ubuntu reference, it is a general Linux reference. One thing I find helpful is the author's use and explanation of apt-get and the fact that, besides showing the command, he shows the on-screen results of the command.From installation through downloading and installing packages from source through adding repositories, everything I've tried works. There isn't much more I can say about the book than that.I like the author's style very much.
Ubuntu Hacks
By Alan German
Ubuntu HacksA book review by Alan GermanOttawa PC Users' Group (http://opcug.ca) The sub-title of this book is "Tips & Tools for Exploring, Using, and Tuning Linux" which turns out to be appropriate on a number of fronts. Some of the initial "hacks", notably Hack #1 _ Test-Drive Ubuntu and Hack #5 _ Install Ubuntu, aren't hacks at all, but rather are straightforward instructions on getting started with (i.e. exploring and using) Ubuntu Linux. But, despite that minor quibble, the book does contain lots of good information and advice for Ubuntu users, and really does have some interesting hacks. As with all the books in the "Hacks" series from O'Reilly, there are just too many individual items between the end covers - 100 hacks in all - to be able to do justice to them in a short review article. Consequently, I will have to settle for providing an outline of the available material, and reserve my detailed comments for a few favourite tips and techniques.The book consists of ten chapters, commencing, as noted above, with tips on getting started with Ubuntu; moving rapidly to tweaking the desktop, using multi-media applications, configuring laptops and input/output devices; through package management, security issues and administrative functions; to the intricacies of running virtual machines and configuring a variety of Linux-based servers.Even users with some prior familiarity with Ubuntu shouldn't discount the initial series of hacks for "getting started". These include instructions on how to customize the Ubuntu Live CD (Hack #4), moving Windows data and settings to Ubuntu (Hack #7), and installing Ubuntu on an external USB drive (Hack #10).Hack #19 _ Search Your Computer looks interesting as it describes the use of a utility program called Beagle to index and search (a la Google Desktop) files, E-mail messages, and so forth for specified items of interest. The program is said to be a huge improvement on the Find File command in the Nautilus file manager and so should be a worthwhile addition to the base Ubuntu system. Similarly, the CUPS-PDF utility (Hack #26) provides the very useful feature of being able to create a PDF file from any application with a print command.Should you need to rip tracks from an audio CD, you might find Grip (Hack #32) to be a useful tool. Did you know that you can burn CD's and DVD's using Nautilus? If not, check out Hack #33. Need to extend the time that you can run your laptop on battery power? Hack #40 will tell you how to throttle back the speed of your CPU, dim your display, and slow down your hard drive's rotation speed, all to save power. There are also lots of tips on wireless networking, keyboards, mice and touchpads, and even how to hook up multiple displays.Chapter 6 covers the gamut of software installation using package managers and should be extremely useful for new Ubuntu users. If, like me, your modus operandi is to read instructions, help files, and manuals as a last resort, it may take a while before you discover the extensive world of applications software outside of the Ubuntu CD. So, take my advice - do yourself a favour, sit down and read this section of the book. All of the neat applications described so far, and a whole raft of other software products, are available through the judicious use of a package manager. You will learn how to use apt-get on the command line or, more likely, how to download and install applications through the use of the Synaptic (under Gnome) or Adept (under KDE) graphical package managers. Another useful tip (Hack #60) shows how to add software repositories, such as universe, to the list accessed by your preferred package manager.One remarkable (to me) tip is buried as part of Hack #54 - Manage packages from the command line. While I am content to use the graphical interface provided by Synaptic for package management, the subject tip involves creating shortcuts for Linux commands by adding lines (i.e. individual commands) to ~/.bashrc. Now, the latter is not described any further, but the form of the commands listed (alias agi='sudo apt-get install') suggests that this is a means of storing a short text string that will be interpreted as the specified command. So, now all I need is a long command string that I will use frequently in a Terminal window. Information on a number of security issues is available, including the use of sudo to run commands as root, modifying user permissions, the use of Firewall Builder to define firewall functionality, file encryption utilities to keep data secure, and ClamAV to fight viruses (in files shared with Windows of course!) Some useful administrative functions covered by the book include editing configuration files, mounting filesystems (e.g. disk partitions), and synchronizing files between two folders and/or devices using the Unison utility program. My favourite technique in the whole book is Hack #45 - Make videos of your tech-support questions. This involves the use of a utility called Istanbul to record a series of actions, and their results, as a video file. The suggestion is that a new user (your "Uncle Gussy") could send such a video to a more experienced Ubuntu user (his nephew!) who would then troubleshoot a problem remotely and provide the correct operating procedure.The final two chapters of the book are perhaps the most esoteric. Chapter 9 - Visualization and Emulation - provides tips on running Windows' applications under WINE. I wasn't sure why anyone would want to do this. It seems to me that there is an equivalent, more than adequate, open-source program for just about any Windows' software one cares to name. However, the book's author suggests that the main use may be to run Windows-based games on Linux boxes, which I suppose makes sense. Actually, there is one tip that makes the whole book really worthwhile to me personally. Hack #88 - Play Windows Games includes a section titled "Run Blasts from the Past" and details how to run DOS programs using the DOSBox utility. I happen to have a custom database program that runs under DOS, an application that I use frequently, and find that it works flawlessly under DOSBox's shell.The visualization section of the book will also help you to run Ubuntu inside Windows (hard to believe one can do so!) and to setup virtual machines. The final chapter - Small Office/Home Office Server - provides lots of advice on setting up Ubuntu-based file servers, web servers, mail servers, proxy servers, DHCP servers, and domain name servers - some of which I never knew existed!So, don't get put off by the seemingly simplistic nature of the first few "hacks" on getting started with Ubuntu. The book has great tips and techniques that should appeal to just about every Ubuntu Linux user, whatever their level of knowledge and expertise with this operating system and its applications.Bottom LineUbuntu Hacks - Tips & Tools for Exploring, Using, and Tuning Linux Jonathan Oxer, Kyle Rankin and Bill ChildersFirst Edition June 2006ISBN-10 0-596-52720-9http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/ubuntuhks/About the reviewer:Alan German is a member of the Board of Directors of the Ottawa PC User's Group, based in the capital of the Great White North.

Nice Book
By R73
I purchased this book as a rough-cuts version, and have been with it through the final release. Ubuntu Hacks is complete with some great information on how to give Windows the boot with a more than suitable alternative. The book is geared more toward desktop users than would-be server admins. The final chapter does walk one through setting up Samba as a BDC for a small network.The only hang-up I found was in a section regarding installing software from source code. Generic instructions provided, do not cover the common errors that occur during this operation.Great text! Highly recommended...

The best collection of tips for GNU/Linux.
By Anonymous
I've just gotten the disks from Ubuntu and needed this text to go along. O'Reilly is getting to be rather good with the editing for functional content. :-P However, I do save a $5 by buying the book from amazon.com than from here :-P

Ubuntu HacksA book with quick tips and short Howto'sThe best collection of tips for GNU/Linux.Ubuntu is a distro that is easy to obtain and install, but most of the hacks in this book can be applied to any GNU/Linux installation.There are immediate fixes and solutions for the usual problems encountered by home and business users, whether they come from Windowsor Mac. For example, there are solutions for the use of wireless devices, input-output devices, PDA, 's (Palm or WindowsMobile), as well as sections on what to do if something goes wrong.There is continuity between the chapters, which allows the user to learn gradually about "hacking" the system. It, 's not just a "list of tips from A to Z".There are chapters devoted to security and the use of multimedia no only reproducing multimedia elements, but also creating and editing them. In short, if your problem has happened to someone, this book has the solution.
Excellent book!

If you are new to linux in general or just Ubuntu this is definately the book for you!

Brother,,, if you weren't on the shit list before,,, I'm pretty sure you will be now !! DOWWWWW !!!!
Funny stuff,, much of which I can relate to !
-Went out last night and got really wasted. I woke up in the middle of the night next to some chick who was snoring and farting, so I knew I made it home OK!
-The wife's back on the warpath again. She was up for making a sex movie last night, and all I did was suggest we should hold auditions for her part.
-I've accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. My next crap could spell disaster.
-My sister-in-law sat on my glasses and broke them. It was my own fault. I should have taken them off.
-I spent a couple of hours defrosting the fridge last night, or "foreplay" as she likes to call it.
-I woke up this morning at 8, and could smell something was wrong. I got downstairs and found the wife face down on the kitchen floor, not breathing! I panicked. I didnt know what to do. Then I remembered McDonalds serves breakfast until 11:30.
-The other night, my wife asked me how many women I'd slept with. I told her, "Only you. All the others kept me awake all night!"
-My missus packed my bags, and as I walked out the front door, she screamed, "I wish you a slow and painful death, you bastard!"
"Oh," I replied, "so now you want me to stay!"
-A Catholic boy in confession says, Bless me Father, I have sinned, I masturbated while thinking about my sister.
That's a disgrace, said the priest, especially when you have two gorgeous brothers.
-I've just installed strobe lights in the bedroom. It makes the wife look like she's moving during sex.
Brother,,, if you weren't on the shit list before,,, I'm pretty sure you will be now !! DOWWWWW !!!!
Funny stuff,, much of which I can relate to !


text: So what was it? Dizzyness that leads to passing out? Seems like a serious problem. Also, if he has had it in the past, it might be a recurring issue. It wouldn't be fun to have something that comes without warning like that, because you'd always be worrying about it. Hopefully it is explainable.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have a Franken mouse that uses a stock bore, 4 bolt, 880 Vortec truck block with an LT1 cam running the valves thru 1.6 Miller roller rockers. It uses Gen II LT1 heads modified to conventional coolant routing and milled to 50 cc chambers, the SCR is hair under 10 to 1, they use Manley Race Flow Valves, the springs are Howard?s Zero Tolerance Electro Polished 1.25" Drop-Ins. Other than that the heads are stock. The pistons are Keith Black hypers, std bore with a 19 cc D cup relief. The crank is the standard GM forged truck for one piece seal that came in the block. The rods are Howard?s Sport Lite 6 inchers. Induction is built from 1991, L98, TPI modified to fit into a GMPP LT1 spread bore carb intake. It uses a 650 Holley throttle plate on a 4 hole aluminum block to support the TPS and other injection sensors. The MAP sensor is relocated to the right head in a vertical position to mount on the revised coolant return off the front of the head, ala, Smokey Yunick/Moroso return of the 1970s and 80's. The front end is converted to V-belts to make space for the coolant returns. The water pump is a long style, conventional rotation Edlebrock. The back of the heads are vented from the std LT1 banjo vent to the forward coolant return adapters to prevent air or steam pocket formation above the upper rear portion of the number 7 and 8 combustion chambers. The SBC is known to The ignition is a small cap outside coil, HEI from a 1995 350 TBI equipped pick up it retains the computer generated advance. The computer has a custom prom from Fastchip, done about 7-8 years ago. The headers are Sanderson shorties made for the S truck V8 swap. Exhaust is 2-1/2 inch H pipe duals thru dual cats (it has to and does SMOG) and Thrush glass packs. This thing is closing in on 200,000 miles of use so it has proven to be a very reliable configuration.
This engine dyno'ed at 398 Hp at 5800 RPM on the crank when it was new. The test used the installed headers to a 2-1/2 inch Y pipe with a 3 inch exit, no cats, no mufflers. As installed it has cats and mufflers. The exhaust has morphed into 2-1/2 inch primaries with an H cross over to a pair of CATCO cats It comes off the cats at 2-1/2 curves up under the truck's bed reduces to 2-1/4 and passes thru a pair of long Thrush glass packs, then over the axle and out under a rear valance panel.
Experience would tell me that your installation would do better with 1-3/4 to 1-7/8s equal length headers into 3 or 3-1/2 inch primaries. Performance wouldn't be much improved with out more rear gears. I run 3.08s on the rear and it is a bit doggy at 70 where it's only turning 2000 RPM, the engine doesn't come on super strong till it gets to 3000 then it plants my butt to the seat. But since it has to commute long distances in heavy traffic along with the power it had be decent on fuel mileage, which it is pretty good running 17-19 in the winter and 20-22 in the summer. When it was young, it would turn about a 12.9 quarter but has serious traction problems so more suspension and tire work that it never got would certainly make it faster.
I would highly recommend d dished pistons. The factory slugs use a round dish which pretty much eliminates anything you would be pleased to call squish and quench. These functions are big time important in extracting maximum power and holding off detonation. So you've got to think of the pistons as part of the combustion chamber shape with a great deal of control over the flame travel.
These are all questions that could be answered very easily if you made a small effort to research them:
Wikipedia Article on the LT1
Dragtimes search result for 1993 Camaro
LT1 Iron VS Aluminum heads
This literally took me 10 minutes to find all of this iinfo and read to make sure it pertained to your questions. The search function on this board exists for a reason. Google isn't so bad, either.
|Your best bet is a F-body forum.
|anything helpful would be greatly appreciated!!
|is there anything id could do to make them better, we plan on taken it to the dragway?
|Factory LT1s from 93-95 were 275 hp. The aluminum heads are fine, but don't flow as well as the LT1 iron heads.
|any info would be greatly ap!!!
93'z/28 LT1
a fac LT1, puts out 300hp rite? the one we have our hands on has Alum heads, they any good?? what did the car run down the Qt when it was new? and now we are looking @ a hot cam kit 525", and some headers with 15/8 or 13/4 primaries with 3" ex to a flowmaster, how much HP would that combo breing, and how fast would it do n a Qt??

European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. Four Plasmodium species (Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae) give disease in humans, and humans are their only relevant reservoir. Transmission requires an intermediate mosquito (anopheles) host, which is found worldwide. Following exposure (an infected mosquito bite) the incubation period varies between one and four weeks in most cases. Depending on the plasmodium species involved, much longer incubation periods are possible.Once the Plasmodia multiply inside the red blood cells, fever and multi-organ disease may ensue, which can be life-threatening when P. falciparum is involved. Symptoms are much reduced if the patient is semi-immune by repeated previous infection. Several drugs are available for both treatment and prophylaxis. During the 20th century, malaria was eradicated from many temperate areas, including the whole of the EU. As a result, the disease is now essentially limited to tropical countries. With global climate change, the potential for the reappearance of malaria in countries where it was previously eradicated exists but is relatively small. Anopheles mosquitoes are in fact still present in those areas, including in Europe. Due to the large number of imported cases in Europe, malaria is mainly a travel medicine issue. Nonetheless, 'airport malaria' is sometimes reported in relation to the inadvertent transport of infected mosquitoes from endemic areas.
A second case of local Plasmodium vivax malaria in Greece was reported on 17 July by KEELPNO, the Hellenic Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. The case concerned a 48 year old female resident of the municipality of Evrotas, Lakonia.
ECDC consultation brought together experts to discuss the malaria transmission risk in Europe and propose preventive actions.

|MK3 Focus The place to chat about general questions, window tinting, exterior body, interior and lighting upgrades for the third generation 2012-Current Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Also depends on the device since iPhones are notoriously bad with MFT to begin with.
My Hyundai wont even accept Bluetooth song information. It also re-scans every single time I plug into my phone using a wire. That is beyond annoying.
At least MFT had the common sense to scan once and never again unless you chose to force it.
I have the Hyundai system, it pales to what MFT can do.
If you want a advanced system go to the iDrive or MMI systems.
I would not purchase a focus again. MFT was the reason I got this car over an Elantra and it has been a complete disappointment.
1. My phone doesn't connect to bluetooth ~20% of the time
2. Bluetooth audio metadata is a jumble of symbols 99% of the time. (should be track info)
3. Browsing music via voice commands is rarely possible because the system indexes stupidly
My headliner is falling off too so that rocks but that is unrelated to MFT. I absolutely hate MyFord Touch. Huge ripoff.
I suggest you buy a Jetta, or Mazda 3, or an Elantra. You won't have issues with their infotainment systems
Just make sure it has a warranty and as said above, you avoid all the gizmos and tech gadgets as those seem to have the majority of issues. My Sync works great 99% of the time, my manual trans is issue free, and it rides and drives incredibly well. My major concerns are body issues like plastics rubbing paint (tail lamps, trim pieces) from thermal expansion/cooling and other teething pains from a first-year car built at the very beginning or the run (Feb 2011).
Enjoy it.
I had a 2012 Focus DCT with the Sports package for about a year. I've had no issues with the car regarding the DCT. Sync is pretty stable except when the memory buffer becomes full. Other than that the ride quality of the car is excellent.
Recently, my family was in need of a second car so we decided to get a second Focus, this time Titanium. So far, we have had no issues whatsoever with the second car. MyFord Touch works for me although I do think its a bit overkill to be able to control the AC by voice, touch screen or by dedicated buttons!
In all, I have no regrets on the car and would purchase one again if I had to.
I'd also like to add, don't let all the issues here scare you.
People here make the mistake of thinking they represent the majority of owners in amount of problems. We don't.
We are basically the 1%.
If these issues on the Internet were actually indicative of real problems, Volkswagen certainly wouldn't still be in business cause the Internet would have you believe that VW only makes crappy cars that have electrical issues and break every 200 miles.
Same with this Focus. Yes there will be problems, no it's really not that wide spread. People who have issues just need to feel special and talk the loudest whereas those like me who didn't have issues are happily staying quiet cause we have nothing to complain about.
I too wanted a car with all the options. Having not had one in the past, and seeing the new focus I got sucked in. Mistake number 1.
Looking at your list, I have had issues with every point you make. So have many other owners.
1. DCT slipped into neutral for no reason while driving at 40mph. That is simply dangerous. Ford has no explanation or resolution for any of the DCT issues people are facing.
2. MFT It looks cool, but that's where it ends. Sometimes mine will connect to bluetooth, other times not. Sometimes it will stream music from the bluetooth but I cannot make a phone call. It will randomly reboot itself. It will lock up. Metadata does not always display for song info. It returns to radio even if you previously had another input selected, for no reason. GPS is slow when trying to enter addresses. Basically this thing has a mind of its own and is useless.
3. Sync system..works, if you can get it to recognize your voice.
As for for support...good luck. Many of us here have waited patiently for fixes updates, TSB's etc....and we are still waiting.
I have a Titanium too. Other issues I have had are:
1. Silver trim moulding on rear door came off. They replaced it but it does not line up with the rest of the trim.
2. Hood touches front light on passenger side.
3. Rear taillight was scraping on paint--fixed this myself.
4. Grinding "egg beater noise" when car changes from 1-2. No fix
5. Headliner glue--still not fixed.
6. Keyless touch entry--does not work. I can stand at my door trying to open it with the key right next to it and it will not open. Other times it works fine.
So what seemed like a great car in the beginning is now nothing more than heap of junk.
About 3 months back we needed a second car. We purchased a Mazda 3 i Touring skyactiv. It is a base model and only has bluetooth.
If I had it to do again, I would without doubt by another Mazda. Not one rattle or creek. No gadgetry issues. No Tranny issues and the car rides like it is on rails.
As for the MFT, in my Mazda, I dock my phone, which has, GPS, Music, Phone, Voice Commands....basically an MFT...go figure.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR...DO NOT GET SUCKED IN BY ALL THE COOL GADGETS. It would be different if they all worked, but they don't, and sooner or later you will have issues....with no resolution in sight.
PS...these are just my opinions and what I have experienced with this car, but I also know I am not alone.
Good Luck

'My Best Friend'
Mont Vernon musician singing to honor Newtown
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Sunday News Correspondent | July 27. 2013 3:16PM
Mont Vernon musician/songwriter Alex Philbrick, who goes by the stage name Alex Preston, has a song featured on a CD compiled to honor victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings and will perform at an August tribute festival in Hartford, Conn. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
"I was in Tennessee with my cousin when I heard about the shooting, and I felt sick," Philbrick, a Mont Vernon resident, said. "I had already written the song, and it just seemed to relate to what the friends of the kids who were killed must have been feeling."
"We couldn't sit here and do nothing, and we heard all of the great music people were writing in memory of the victims, so we decided to put together a CD," said Labrecque.
Philbrick is writing another song for Voices for Heroes to be played during the organization's Power of Peace Family Fest at Bushnell Park in Hartford, Conn., on Aug. 11. He will perform some of his songs live at the event.

The most authentic novel of gangster family life ever written, from the number one best-selling author Martina Cole.
The Bailey brothers are gangsters determined to make their mark in the world. Peter and Daniel are chalk and cheese in many ways - Peter's calm exterior belies his ruthless nature, while Daniel's penchant for spectacular violence is legendary - but together they are unstoppable. From the late 70s they rule London's East End, and when their sons join the business, it seems that no one can touch the powerful Baileys. Although it's never easy at the top; there is always someone waiting to take you down - sometimes even those closest to you....
Lena Bailey is determined to shield her youngest child Tania from the Life. But when a terrible tragedy occurs, Tania's eyes are opened to their world in a way that forces her to make an irrevocable choice that will determine her future.
Martina Cole's gritty and gripping new novel is an unflinching portrait of a family torn apart by violence and betrayal, but ultimately bound by loyalty, by blood, and by a burning desire for revenge.... It is a story of the Life, told as only Martina Cole can.
©2012 Martina Cole (P)2012 Headline Digital
"Utterly compelling." (Daily Mirror)
There are no reviews for this title yet.
"An excellent story, and an excellent narration...."
As usual this Martina Cole story does not fail to disappoint, it focuses on two half brothers and their relationship with each other, between them run the criminal world in London. The story revolves aound them, their families and all the siblings.
What makes this audio book even better is that it is read by Annie Aldington, who does a brilliant rendition as always.
"Marinta Cole - The Life"
Another cracking read from Martina Cole she brings the characters to life and you feel as if you are there with them through all the tragedy, brutality and also the joy
I always enjoy reading the books by this writer.
"Dont bother"
This is not a review of "the life" as to be honest i only managed to listen to 4 mins of it before i had to turn it off, instead this is a review of Annie Aldington's naration. She has without doubt the most whining voice you will ever hear. the 4 mins i listened to centered around the furenal of the main charactures mother after being killed by a car bomb, after listening to Annie narate all i can think is please kill me too!!!
"The Life"
Its difficult to get into the narrator is hard to listen too not so good with the male cockney, but eventually its a good read if you have read martina cole before you will know the stories are predictable but good
"You know what you're getting"
with Martina Cole and yet she still manages to hold the interest Gangland life in the East End, told from the perspective of the women standing on the sidelines
"Too slow for me."
Boring, very little action. Martina's books are usualy better than this. Not for me.
I enjoyed it however there were a lot of character to keep track of. slightly predictable ending but still worth are a listen.
"Martina Cole needs to research some new characters"
The characters of Pete & Danny are so similar to Jimmy & Freddy Jackson from The Take. They are so one dimensional. Also, adding I'm more children in each family ostensibly gives the impression of a more complicated (interesting) story..doesn't work.
Same old story
Annie Aldington is ok but it would be good to have a new narrator for MCs books otherwise, it adds to the impression if having heard it all before
Almost all of it
Loved The Ladykiller, Faceless, Goodnight Lady and The Know. Fab characters and stories. Will be re-listening and re-reading those until MC is back on form.
"Boring and badly written"
This was really disappointing. It starts well enough, a thoughtful prologue and fairly punchy first chapter. However, it goes on to become a mind numbing account of the uninteresting lives of a family of London crooks.
The writing is dreadful. We are *told* virtually everything and *shown* none of it. When there is some action it is followed up by pages of tedious exposition.
I gave up on it after about 4 hours, not caring one iota for any of the characters nor what lies in store for any of them in the latter part of the book.
The publisher says it is "The most authentic novel of gangster family life ever written". Well, if that's the case give me the inauthenticity of Mario Puzzo over this any day.
...and Annie Aldington's Jamaican accent is appalling.

Discussion in 'February 2012' started by roscoe36, Feb 13, 2012.
Huh? Darth picked the Celtics.
Darth Tater Picked the Celtics............that's money.
Lol. Can't believe what is going on here!
C's are totally off and Pistons are running lika a mad
The feel good game of the year! Ok maybe not but it has a nice ring to it. The cool part about this game is the collegiate feeling from the team. The esprit de corps is akin to March Madness. We played good defense. Blaha and K were talking about an identity. We have a very scrappy, constantly harassing defense that gets turn-overs. We don;t have a shot blocker to funnel the defense to so if we don't disrupt the O or poke the ball away, we kinda get scored on. Stuckey: Super Collider was in full effect. 12-15 free throws. Boston made 11-15. 4 steals. Boston had 6. Monroe: He's not getting the same easy buckets off offensive rebounds but that may be a good thing. Knight: Had two sweet passes. 1 turned into an assist and another into free throws. Wallace/ Maxiell: these guys are making plays. They may not be all-stars but the plays they make go a long way to this team winning. Daye: All the scrubs got in except Daye. Doghouse?
Maxiell scores exactly six again. Six straight games. And yes, I'm going to keep pointing this out until he stops.
Daye didn't even dress tonight. When you're healthy and get 2 consecutive DNP-Coach's Decisions, then you may be in the doghouse. When you're healthy and you do not even dress, you are definitely in the doghouse.
I guess Stuckey was 2 of 10 shooting, and only had 1 assist... He does seem to have the collider effect down pat...as he was 12-15 with FTs........... Are those good stats.??? Well.......we did win.
Not the prettiest game out there, this one. Neither offense looked particularly fluid, but this game was won on the defensive end, just like old times eh? Low scoring, grind it out basketball for the most part. The key to the win was points off turnovers, rebounding and second chance points all going the Pistons' way. As Slippy pointed out, Super Collider is back, shooting only 20% from the field but getting a boat load of free throws. Brandon was ok, he made some nice passes inside that turned into free throws instead of made shots. Made two threes early then went quiet and didn't attempt another for the rest of the game. Greg needs to stop saying and one after every shot at the rim, seriously. They all seem to end up being misses. Tayshaun played too much isolayshaun basketball. Was surprised to see the guards pass the ball to him to let him initiate the offense - very often to go one on one. Made for some ugly basketball; good offensive rebounding and putbacks saved us there. BG seems to really get up for the Celtics, but didn't force anything and took it inside more often than usual. Maxie and Big Ben were good. JJ played well, getting a bunch of putbacks and getting to the foul line. Got a nice feed on the break from BK, would've made a nice highlight if he'd made that. Austin Daye is most definitely in the dog house. Frank doesn't seem to be the type to arbitrarily bench people for no good reason (see Scott Skiles), but Daye hasn't really given his coach a good enough reason for him to get on the floor imo. Will Bynum looks to have gotten his backup "point guard" role back from Walker D. Played well defensively, poking a few balls away and started fast breaks. Got a tad ball hoggy at the end and got pulled. This game was getting away from the Celtics at halftime before they cut into the lead a bit in the third, hanging in there for the most part before Rondo got ejected and their offense went down the toilet. Was quite surprised to see 3 starters go back in with 4 minutes to go and up 18, was even more surprised to see Knight check in with 2 left up 15. Would've liked for Frank to just sit them the rest of the game which was a blowout with over 7 minutes to go. The team seems to be overachieving a little bit.
He looked like he was in his warm ups.
Point guard. Get the team to take the right shots. Knight oversaw us going to the hoop all night. This game would have been a total laugher if we had just made more free throws. (17 left uncashed) And Monroe should have had a 20-10 if he had not gone 1-7 from the line, ouch. Its been a trend. Monroe was stellar to start the season, but has slipped on his free throw shooting. Now he has hit bottom. Hope he reverses that trend soon. And we are getting that ball consistently into Monroe. Been a long time since the Pistons had a consistent post game. We sure do now. And again, thats kudos to the point guard for that. Chief scorer from the free throw line - Stuckey. Got to love his style of play. This game he had those drives very much in control - would not change a thing that he did tonight. Coach. Avoided, and has been avoiding, doing anything for too long to where the other team can exploit us. Good mixture up front. Still would like to see us go bigger by adding Macklin into the lineup, but hey, now we are seeing some JJ and Monroe paired, but its gone before the other team jumps all over us inside. And even JMAX and Big Ben get paired up here and there - just not too long to where our offense stalls out. Shortening up the rotation in the 2nd half, cutting out Wilkins and going for a bit with a 3 guard rotation to spell Tay. Tay played 37 minutes tonight. Too much. Again, a win, but Tay won't hold up long with those kind of minutes. JJ can play some small forward, and should. Now, while I am advocating JJ taking over the minutes Wilkins is getting at small forward, I must note Wilkins was out there as we held Boston to just 3 points for about the first half of the 2nd quarter - and Wilkens did some scoring including nailing a triple. Yes, though I fret about Bynum playing a whole lot of minutes, for a short spell here and there, he is going to give you more scoring than Russel. In all, we are not having much trouble scoring. Indeed, the only time we slowed our scoring pace was to open the 3rd - and we had no real slouches on scoring in there (except maybe Maxiell of course) Maxiell got 10 boards. He is simply got his timing down a bit better - could be just from playing so many games so close together. He always has thrived on work. (so long its not too long a stretch at a time.) Both he and Big Ben played fairly short minutes, and very effective minutes. In all, very little of the game did not have one or the other to provide strength for our interior D. Monroe got that one shot blocked - and it seemed strange to see it. Double double by the way even if it was not a 20-10. Fast breaking. Stuckey and Knight both want desperately to push the ball up. to me, thats another reason to put JJ in at starting small forward. Another highly energetic player to run with our two guards. Part of good coaching is never letting the other team know what you are going to do next time down. I say coach is doing a good job there as you just don't know who on our side is going to shoot the ball at any given time. I especially liked that triple by Stuckey last game. Knight was driving toward the hoop and the other team seemed pretty sure Knight was going to shoot it. Instead, a nice pass to a wide open Stuckey went a long way toward winning the game right there. Most hopeless play of the night. Some no-name player of theirs trying to score on Big Ben Wallace. Might as well been an extra wall in front of the guy. The perimeter rotations were real good. And Frank called a timeout, now, whenever it had any problems. Next game is at 7 Tuesday, at Philly as the 2nd half of our season starts. One of the teams we could catch for the 3 or 4 spot yet this season. I am thinking like 4 spot, as NY looks to be on a serious role and may join Miami and Chicago as teams we just can't catch this season.
U want him to score less?
This game was won at the FT line...although the Pistons missed more FT's (17) than the Celtics took (15) ..How else do you explain the Pistons getting 96 pts on only 14 assists and shooting only 38% from the floor. From what I saw when I peeked in on the third qtr, the Pistons were running up and down the floor and were getting fouled each time....way to pile on the points while the clock was not moving... Daye yep he must be in the dog house ...3 DNP and 3 straight victories....Frank better avoid showing up in Orlando for all star weekend as Darron Daye is going to rough him due to him sitting his son. Sitting in the 8th lottery spot now....not good unless they luck up and get in the top 3....5.5 out of the final playoff spot with Celtics slumping and the Knicks Linsurging. Without Lin, the Pistons would have already leaped frog over NY... So whats the plan?? You just keep playing to win and see what happens. If you are still hovering around the 7-8 lottery spot at the end of March,and more than6 games out of the final playoff spot, then Taynk for April and hope for the best worst!!
Great recap Lee.
We probably won't need to Taynk too much. Took a gander at the March schedule and its crazy, it'll take a miracle to be .500 that month, and April isn't much better. Just saw a replay of Rondo's double technical - Moose landed on top of him. Ouch.
Well, all 12 Piston guys played and Daye wasn't one of them. The NBA only allows you to dress 12 players per game.
He's just a bad dresser. The Pistons have developed an identity. I think the Pistons are still a bad defensive team, but they are no longer soft and stupid. Every guy that plays now is physical on D. Frank has done a tremendous job and I don't just say that on the high of a good stretch only so I can bury him if they start losing again. There is some philosophical symmetry between the Pistons roster and coach and I am starting to believe. I got to get myself one of those Joe Dumars sweatshirts to watch the games in! (I also love how he keeps his coat on the back of his chair instead of using a hangar.)
The box score says Boston played 13 guys. How is that possible?
BillLaimbeer made another mistake........ Let me help........... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2012021908 Truth is....I don't know how many are allowed to dress. Boston did play 13....
Boston looked terrible but maybe it was partly from our defense. Bynum looked pretty good....like he is being tutored on defense. He was looking to pass too. He is a lot more talented than WDR on the offensive end so maybe he will flip the switch. The WDR effect. He makes the other players better.

|A large nozzle will break you up in sand costs as you have already found out. Sounds like you have a water problem and the best way to address this is to work on cooling the air first since wringing moisture from hot air is a major problem. The air should be run through a heat exchanger or some other means of cooling before the water separator and then another water separator located on the blaster itself should do the job. Other than that try to blast when humidity is low since the water produced is what is contained in the air being compressed.
Damp air or damp Sand?
I was complaining that my borrowed blaster was consuming a LOT of sand when I went in to pick up ANOTHER 6 bags. The fellow at the counter asked what kind of equipment, and what did the nozzle look like? I told him that it was an old diesel-powered IR compressor on wheels with a 100lb tank (see my project journal), and the nozzle had a hole in it the size of a pencil... which he says is a bad thing ... worn out ... then showed and sold me a new one.
I put it on and tried it. It would work great (obviously using less sand) for about 5 mins, but then the sand stopped coming. The nozzle was obviously spraying water mist as well, so I took the nozzle right off, blew out the lines, and drained the traps. Then it would work fine again for another 5 minutes, and I'd have to repeat the whole process!
In frustration I put the old nozzle back on and finished off that bag. The larger nozzle opening must have been keeping the volume of air up and the lines clear? Maybe I had a bag of damp sand? I'll have to try again this weekend with a fresh bag of sand.
Any comments? (I'm a sandblasting newbie)
|Bob, You also have to wait longer on the recharge cycle so if you use your blaster for more than one cycle you don't gain any time although I am sure you already know that. Sometimes it may be more convenient to have longer use/recharge times than shorter more frequent cycles but over any continuous period that requires more than one cycle the use/wait times will add up to the same amount regardless of tank size. However as I pointed out earlier you need to keep an eye on compressor pump temperature because of those long recharge cycles.(I am assuming you added those tanks and you are not using a large industrial size compressor?) One advantage you do have with those multiple tanks is the fact that they give the air a chance to cool and make really good water traps and dry air, which as you very well know, is a must for sandblasters.
performance by checking the pump up time to 150 psi. On my 60 gallon
it takes 5 minutes, on a 80 gallon it takes 6 minutes. If you time yours
you could probably compare to others and get a good idea of the size.
I think Bondoking has a 12 to 14 cfm at 90 psi and we timed his at
8 minutes (I think?) If you post your time maybe someone here can
Common sense, tank size equals storage size, compressor cfm equals running capablity, pressure cutoff can effect stored volume. 175 psi is common for many compressors sold today. Tanks are rated and usually stamped or tagged.
Having three tanks allows me to sandblast three times longer before the compressor kicks on because the storage has been increased. My compressor doesn't supply enough cfm to support steady full pressure blasting but the storage size increase allows me to blast at full pressure for a longer period of time. Basic example.
Out of curiosity,is there some way to determine what cfm your compressor has at 90psi ? I mean some way other than some expensive air flow tool? I bought my compressor some years ago and have long since lost all my literature.
|Rick, That is EXACTLY what I have been saying. I did not mean those guys at the mine were doing the right thing and I have warned repeatedly about the folly of overpressure but some people just will not listen. I see it all the time, someone will come into the shop and say "my compressor will not keep up with my 1" drive impact how much will you charge for a bigger TANK!" or "do you have a regulator that will allow me to run 200 lbs" . It seems too many people want to believe that more STORAGE translates into more compressor CFM and I have trouble making them understand that storage will not make up for insufficient pump CFM. In this case we were discussing extra tank pressure being used as extra tank volume not extra pressure at the tool and my point is that TANK volume no matter how it is obtained is not going to make up for a compressor that is too small, at least not after running more than one recharge cycle. If the pump CFM is low it is a small compressor and will perform like a small compressor even if you do up the pressure or add extra tanks. As for running 150 PSI on large tools like 1" drive impacts that much pressure will make a difference just not as much as most want to believe but running that high above the recommended pressure is common practice here,right or wrong, has been for years and I assume it will remain so. The efficiency drops off dramatically above a tool's designed operating pressure so a huge increase in pressure only amounts to a small increase in performance but this is often enough to make it worth it to some so as I said they will continue to do this. Also 175 PSI cut-off pressure is commonly found,from the factory, on two stage compressors with 60-80 gal tanks and 15-20 CFM range that are sold for small shops although some are less than that and I think what started this discussion was if raising the designed cut-off pressure would be beneficial or not and I think that at this point everyone understands that volume and pressure are two different things but getting more VOLUME to run tools was the original subject not more pressure at the tool. I don't see where anyone even suguested running more pressure at the tool and the examples I gave were to show how common it is for some to misunderstand the problem and the extremes they will go to.
|I thought that too, all the tools I've seen said 90 psi.
|Rick WI
Holy crap, there is a ton of misinformation on here about pressure and tools. I do tons of work in the commercial and industrial market with compessor manufacturers analyzing compressed air SYSTEMS for more efficient operation. Never have I been in an installation that REQUIRED more than 100 to 110 setpoint at the compressor to operate any equipment you would normally see in an industrial application downstream of it. Never have I been in an installation where they would even consider operating the compressor at 175 to 200 PSI, that would be absurd, and extremely expensive.
I have worked and evaluated systems from 10 HP to 2500 HP, at companies like J Deere, Alcoa, Charter Steel, Briggs, GM and others. If you can build a car, tractor, forge wheels and make steel with 100 to 110 PSI air I suspect we should be able to tinker with our cars at home with the same, which you can.
What you need is volume to run tools. If you can run a DA for 25 minutes without a problem I'd say your in pretty good shape. After that period the line is probably spitting water and you'd want to stop anyway. The only thing a comressor does better than compress air is make water.
Air tools only need 90 PSI at the tailstock to operate properly and a peak efficiency. Therefore, if you have your compressor set 150 to 175 and it won't run the tools, it's not a compressor pressure problem. It's volume or a pressure drop in the line. I see this ALL THE time.
Unless you have some whoop de whoop super duper odd ball one of a kind tool 90 PSI tailstock pressure should be more than enough.
Guy's, I thought I would pipe in for a moment... as I was reading this tread I was surprised at the large number of folks considering or suggesting upping the pressure on your stock air compressor. As others that have replied to this thread have pointed out, some compressor company's are not as "high grade" as others, so this means their tanks are not either. As oldRed stated about the tank bursting, this could happen very easily... I have a Sanborn 6HP, 80gal tank, single stage, my compressor kicks on at 90psi and shuts off a 120psi. I would like more cfm as well as pressure, but the tag on the side of the tank states very clearly max tank pressure is 150psi. so I really can not mess with it. Of course there is some safety factor built in but my point is, you should check to see what the rating of your tank is first before you up the pressure. Some tanks may not be able to handle it and you really do not want to be standing beside it when it does burst... Where I work, we pressure test housings that we build, these housing can be built from any number of thicknesses of materials, from #10ga. to 2" pl. our standard criteria is to pressure test up to 138in-H2O (which equates to approx. 5 psi... yes only 5psi.) anything over that pressure get Hydrostatic pressure tested. (they fill housing with water, water absorbs the energy, so the housing just splits at the weld seams or somewhere in the middle of a panel, usually where there was a flaw in the material) this is all for safety. All I'm saying is, be careful, if some young fella logs on and reads this thread and chooses to pump his pressure to 250!!! well it could be fatal...
Sorry, I was just concerned... thought I would throw my 2 cents in...
Dang and here I thought it would lengthen the life since you are reomving the moisture and allowing air to flow both ways through the valve.... Red you are the man!!
|JC, Actually I didn't think to mention it earlier but completely discharging a tank every day will theoretically shorten the life of it due to metal fatigue from excessive expansion/contraction. A tank will expand slightly each time it recharges and contract upon discharge but regular cycles are not as drastic as complete discharge.
|No it won't help it will just add unnecessary wear to the pump/motor. Might I suggest an automatic drain? I have one that came from Harbor Freight on my Ingersoll in my garage at home p/n 46960-7vga for about $17.00. They have one for around $10 dollars but it is rated at 100 PSI max but then we are only talking pennies anyway. I don't know what the max pressure is on the one I use but my compressor max is 150(6 HP two stage in case you may be interested) and it works just fine.
Another question for you compressor guru's.
Will a tank last longer if you drain out all the air
every day verses just draining out the water?

"I have five older brothers, two of whom signed as professionals," he says. "My oldest brother Darren was with Wimbledon and another of my brothers, Gavin was with Millwall. Unfortunately their careers in football didn't continue for very long, but they are both now doing well as leisure centre managers. The fact that they can look back and see where they could have done things differently is a help to me because they are there to talk to and offer me guidance when I need it," he explains. "The main thing they try to instil in me is to keep focused. I have to block out any distractions to try and give my best."
The youngster also draws inspiration from a female member of his family, his mum Amanda: "My mum has been everywhere with me since I started playing club football when I was eight. I was with Millwall first, which was closer to our home in Battersea," he recalls. "But I then joined Arsenal when I was eleven. She would make the journey on the train with me three nights a week to Hale End in Chingford and then wait for me and bring me home on the train again. A big part of me feels that I have to give myself every chance of becoming a professional because of what she did and still does for me."
Coming from a big family was crucial in Craig's formative football years: "I was the youngest boy, but I used to play football with all my brothers and their friends and I think that helped me a lot and it toughened me up mentally and physically. My brothers also used to coach me from a very young age too which I believe gave me a head start."
Craig's learning curve has been steady, but feels it has been even steeper since joining the Academy: "I can honestly look back and say that I am improving every week. I am a much better player now than I was when we joined in the summer. The facilities and coaching are the best and I am noticing the benefits of the technical work we do."
Craig is not alone, he is part of an Under-18s side that remains unbeaten, having won seven of eight games played: "We are at the best club there is and we have been together for so many years that we know how we all play and have a great spirit and togetherness. "I have to admit that I was surprised by some of the results," he reveals. "Leicester beat the Under-18s at the end of last season and they won the Academy trophy. We were all up for a tough game, but we won 5-0. I think we were so focused and determined that we started so quickly and got into our passing game from the opening whistle that blew Leicester away. I think that our attitude was key in that game. I think we have the potential to win everything this year, but we are not getting carried away. We are not taking any game for granted and that's the way we have to be to succeed now and in the future."
Craig played for the Reserves when he was a schoolboy and has featured already this year, surprisingly in midfield: "I play rightback for the Under-18s and have played in the centre of midfield for the Reserves. I used to play in the centre all the time, but I was switched to right-back last season. I have got used to the role but am developing my understanding all the time. I think that although there is a lot of running up and down the flanks, in the centre you have to be physically stronger with higher stamina levels because you have to keep moving and concentrating all the time. To be honest," says the 16 year-old, "they are very different, but I enjoy both roles. The main thing is that I am playing."."

Is the evaporative emissions equipment that important? My car is emissions exempt here in Texas, only safety inspection for vehicles 25 years and older.[/QUOTE]
Yeah what the heck the rest of us don't mind breathing your gas vapors.
Emisson systms get a lot of blame for all sorts of problems they largley don't create nor even contribute to, like if it ain't broke don't fix it. by not fixing things that aren't broke you;ll find things that aren't broke don;t suddenly become problems.
For the most part emissions systems do their thing off in the back ground and do it well.
|Oh... I always thought it was for any gasoline vapors that might have built up inside the tank to be vented. I have a vented gas cap, so I thought I didn't need the cannister. That's what I get for assuming! You're right about keeping all the gas for burning... 12mpg and $4.00/gallon really hurts, especially with a 66 mile round trip commute to work every day!
|With gas at $4/gallon it helps to keep as much of it for burning in the engine as possible. Basically takes vapors from carb bowl and reroutes them back to tank to be used again in liquid form. Thus the name "EVAPORATIVE". On older systems they would have been allowed to be exhausted or evaporated to the atmosphere, same with tank, so also coincides with proper cap on fillerneck as well.
The tank was almost empty, and I had just put $10 in, about 2.5 gallons, about ten minutes before I noticed the leak. I'm replacing the two rubber lines coming out of the tank today.
Is the evaporative emissions equipment that important? My car is emissions exempt here in Texas, only safety inspection for vehicles 25 years and older.
|Question for you; How full was the tank at the time it began leaking? Had you just filled it up?. Could be many different things that caused it to leak, but if you intend on keeping this car for awhile, and believe in being safe, I'm sure you could replace all lines + reseal sending unit and fillerneck/tube all for less than $100 in parts. It would be wise to restore the evaporative emissions (charcoal canister) sytem as well. I'm sure you could find the canister at a boneyard, and replacement filters are still available for them thru most parts stores. Just my 2 cents, but why wait for a further fire hazard to develop? Either way, be safe and ENJOY that older Chevelle.
|I just got the car up on jackstands. I got under it, only to find nothing. I can't find any leak. I even ran the car for several minutes, with similar results. I would have thought that I just parked over a puddle that was already there, but I saw it dripping off the diff yesterday. There are two rubber hoses coming from the tank and going to two metal lines that go towards the front of the car. I'm assuming one goes to the fuel pump, the other to where the charcoal canister emissions device used to be. Awhile back I yanked all that stuff and blocked off the line to the gas tank. I think it would be a wise investment to go ahead and replace those two rubber lines.
|I agree as well, that with the age of the line(s) you simply replace them all. If time permits,drop the tank and inspect/replace seal where sending unit + pickup assembly mounts to the top, as well as filler neck, because all rubber seals are likely suspects for failure after so many years.-Be safe.
These G body cars run the metal fuel line from the tank and into the inside of the frame at the crossmember. Often the line rubs a hole or rusts through in that area. Mine did.
You probably can't get to it to put a hose splice over the hole or install a union,
so what I did was run a new steel brake line from the tank to meet the line farther forward and connected them together with a brass union.
Replace the rubber lines on the top of the tank while you are there. They have a lot of years on them.
fuel line leak
My car has seemed to develop a serious gas line leak. I had gone to the store my wife works at to pick up a few items, and when I came out, there was a huge puddle of gasoline under it. I was afraid to drive it home like that with the baby, so I took my wife's car. I will pick it up tonight when she gets off, so the baby does not have to ride in it. The leak is close to the exhaust, I'm somewhat concerned about a fire.
I looked under it in the parking lot, and it seems to be leaking from somewhere above the differential. I have to borrow a jack and jack stands, so I won't be able to get under it and really see what's going on until the morning. My question is, what are the possible causes of this? Could it just be a line leaking, or maybe the tank? How does the line connect to the tank? How hard of a fix would it be? I assume it's a metal line, so if it's leaking, will I have to replace the line all the way from the tank to the fuel pump?
I'm sorry about not knowing more about the problem, I'm just trying to get some ides right now. The car is a '73 Chevelle, 350/350. The tank and lines up to the pump are all original, as far as I know. Thanks in advance for any help.

text: 22lr is kinda dirty. If you're going to shoot 20 rounds, might as well shoot 200. I think most manufacturers fire two rounds in their pistols before they leave the factory and include the casings with the gun in box and sometimes the target. If they shot lead bullets, you should barely be able to tell use from looking into the barrel with the naked eye. You might be able to tell something with a bore light, or if copper jacket bullets were used. By the way you describe things--sounds possible that the range had let someone try the pistol before in which case it would be a used pistol and should be discounted as such. Maybe a better way to tell on a semi-auto is to look at the slide rails on the slide and on the frame to see if that's more telling. Thing is, you should have said something about this when you were there, before you purchased--(buyer beware). If you took it back now, they could say you shot 2000 rounds through it and just didn't like it. Sometimes the facts aren't what we want to hear. I hope you figure out what's going on, and I hope you like your new-to-you pistol.
