text: I won't get into all the options, but something to think about......most of your "smaller" firearms for conceal carry, are not "range guns". The smaller firearms are not mean't to have alot of rounds put through them.......I carry a Bodyguard .380, because it fits my needs and purpose for conceal carry...I practice with it on occasion, but again, not a firearm that can have, or should have hundreds, or thousands of rounds put through it. It is for the warmer months, front pocket carry....in the cold months, I carry a Beretta 96 .40 cal......safety and decocker.......Bodyguard, manual safety. There is no "one" firearm that covers all bases....it's why most firearm owners that I know have more than one firearm.

Conservatives echoed dubious Bush claim that lawsuits are responsible for vaccine shortage
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Following Senator John Kerry's recent criticism of President George W. Bush's alleged failure to anticipate the current nationwide shortage of flu vaccinations, conservative media figures have quickly echoed Bush's claim that medical liability is the major cause of the shortage. But, according to Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, a division of the National Institutes of Health, fear of liability is "only a very small part" of the vaccine shortage.
In the October 13 presidential debate, Bush claimed: "Vaccine manufacturers are worried about getting sued, and therefore they have backed off from providing this kind of [flu] vaccine."
An article in the October 25 issue of The Weekly Standard magazine declared: "Vaccines are the one area of medicine where trial lawyers are almost completely responsible for the problem."
Republican political consultant and frequent cable news channel guest Ed Rogers, as a guest on the October 19 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, insisted: "The reason we don't have all the flu vaccine we need is the menacing presence of the trial lawyers."
On the October 18 broadcast of the nationally syndicated Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, O'Reilly and co-host E.D. Hill agreed that lawsuits were the major problem:
HILL: The Bush folks come back and they say, "You know we'd be able to produce it [flu vaccines] here if companies weren't so worried about lawsuits."
O'REILLY: Right. They won't produce it in the United States because of malpractice.
HILL: Right.
O'REILLY: If somebody gets a flu shot and then all of a sudden they have another year -- three years -- then they go after them, and people go, why am I gonna do that?
But Fauci says that medical liability is "only a very small part of the problem," according to an October 20 Associated Press article. "More significant, he said, are the low profit margins vaccines provide, unpredictable demand and the complexity of the manufacturing process," the AP reported. Fauci declined to mention medical liability during a seven-minute interview on the October 19 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume, though Hume asked him about the causes of the current shortage. According to his biography on the NIH website, "Dr. Fauci serves as one of the key advisors to the White House and Department of Health and Human Services on global AIDS issues, and on initiatives to bolster medical and public health preparedness against possible future bioterrorist attacks."
Similarly, Jim Young, president of MedImmune, Inc., which manufactures the intranasal vaccine FluMist, testified before the House Government Reform Committee that the lack of predictably high demand for the vaccine -- not the threat of legal liability -- posed the biggest deterrent to producing additional supplies, according to an October 19 report on National Public Radio's Morning Edition. In his prepared remarks, Young urged the federal government to raise demand by "universally recommend[ing]" flu vaccinations "for all Americans," which, he said, would "provide the impetus on the part of vaccine manufacturers to increase their production capacity."

Earlier this week, Sun and ParAccel, a brand new data warehousing company, published some very interesting TPC-H results that also make me wonder:
Time will tell. ParAccel's press release claims that they are "giving you a Ferrari for the price of a BMW with twice the fuel efficiency of a Prius." At least they've shown this week that they are certainly not a pumpkin on wheels.

I just wanted to give some info for the chest slots. I know everyone puts them in a different spot but I love autocad so I did this. Of course, this is based on the chest piece being level.

John, this applies to the Ep II clone troopers only, correct? These aren't seen on the Ep III clone troopers, right?
Last edited by Art Andrews; Feb 14, 2009 at 12:50 AM.
oops. Second one should have been Ep III, not Ep II.
I'm pretty sure on the EP III clones;
Yep. Both episodes....
Interesting... some of the ref I have doesn't show them... weird.
The small thing to note, based on the above photos, the slots line up rectangularly, and the red drawing shows them as a parallelagram.
Where I think the two photos differ, is to whether the slots are parallel with the slope of the chest (Red) or parallel to the ground (Blue)? I prefer the notion of 'parallel to the slope of the chest,' as not all (fanmade)slopes are equal.
I am working on those slots this weekend. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to cut those in, and what tool (s) to use?
I know what you mean
some reference pics show them & some don't (even on the same kind of Clones)
For example;
This ScreenCap has none, whereas the Shocktroopers I posted before have them
And this screencap has them painted on
so, I guess to answer your original question...
Yes and no.
Actually, of the standard clone armor, all of the files had the pill shapes in them. There was a plug in the slots that could be hidden or not. Same with the DC-15 long and short. All of the files had both guns existing in the same space. One gun or the other was turned "off" so not to be seen. This of course only pertains to Episode III files. On occasion in the movie, you will see evidence of both guns being "on"

Slight variation... the two slits are rotated together, as a linked pair, to be parallel to the base line of the arcing chest line AND positioned horizontally, splitting the distance along the vertical plane of the vertical line that rises upward from the bottom right corner of the chestline.
I guess, they could be done either way... but to me, and looking at the screen caps, they do not appear to drop strait down, vertically, but are rotated together and specific to the armor to match the baseline of the base chest line. The bit I used was 1/16" for each corner... then I cut the line between the holes.
I made the template in July 2008 for the OSCS chest armor. I will post my template tomorrow... sleepy.
But I have a picture of the template taped to my chest armor.
AND, it looks more consistent... at least they are getting more similar looking.
Not to beat a dead horse, but just noticed another shot from the movie where the slots are missing. Wish I could get away with not cutting them into my armor... but my guy has them... crud.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by S.J., Mar 15, 2012.
It's shrewd GM;ing like this our team needs.
indeed. ...But this is a situation that has 'Joe Dumars' written all over it. I think that if Joe wanted to make a case to Greg Oden, he could convince him to come to Detroit. The Antonio McDyess story could be compelling to a #1 pick that's been waiting 3 years to start his NBA career. The fact that Oden has been essentially cast aside by the team that drafted him has "Piston" written all over it. It's either gonna be a great story or not much of a story at all. If there's any possibility from a medical standpoint that Oden can play, Joe needs to try and make it happen.
What would be y'alls gamble price for Antoine Walker?
If someone can teach Charlie to do that cheezy little shimmy dance than we won't need Walker.
I'm pretty sure if there was any possibility from a medical standpoint that Oden can play, Portland wouldn't have released him. The idea of paying GregO to come in and sink a few shots and grab a few rebounds while playing a few minutes here and there doesn't really make sense for the Pistons. After all, isn't that what we are obligated to pay Tweets V $8 million dollars a year for the next two years for?
I'd like to see Oden on the Mad Antz.
He could receive some quality coaching from Christian Laettner.
Oden could work. The problem is needs not Arnie's frozen bananas, but a bottle of Lisle Von Rhuman's elixir.
And then confuse everyone by given Austin Daye max salary. Cloak of Shrewdness +1
I like it. Decoy Management - giving a player such a bad contract all other horrible contracts look acceptable. 1. Sign Daye to a max contract (100M/5y or whatever the number is. The contracts of Bengo, JMax, Tay and Chaz moves alot closer to the market value. 2. Trade Bengo, JMax, Tay and Chaz. 3. Use amnesty on Daye. 4. Profit. (or -$100m loss)
That's the million dollar question right there. Maybe the prudent move is to the get CV on Dancing with the Stars to learn that shimmy dance. Arnie would have to put Charlie in air casts before he went to bed each night, though, to protect those ankles.
Dudes like Charlie and Ben Gordon are precisely why Joe should take a risk and sign Oden if there's a chance he can get back on the court. The Pistons have so many crappy contracts that taking a chance at getting some killer value seems like the thing to do. Oden isn't gonna command a big payday. If it works out - Joe's a genius. If it doesn't, nothing really lost except a small chunk of change by NBA standards. The upside is huge. The downside isn't that severe.
I just wanted to post a recap of his injury history...According to Wikipedia... On September 14, 2007, Oden had microfracture surgery on his ailing right knee. He missed the entire season. Entering the 2008–09 season he was listed at 250 lb (110 kg), but according to Blazers' trainer Jay Jensen he weighed about 290 lb (130 kg) in July. On February 13, 2009, he injured his left knee in a game against the Golden State Warriors, by bumping knees with opponent Corey Maggette, and missed three weeks due to a chipped knee cap. On December 5, 2009, Oden injured his left knee in the first quarter of a game. He was taken off the court on a stretcher. Later, he underwent surgery for a fractured left patella and missed the rest of the season. That injury marked the second time Oden had missed major playing time due to injury On November 17, 2010, the team announced that Oden would have microfracture surgery on his left knee, ending his 2010–2011 season. The injury marked Oden's third NBA season cut short due to a knee injury. On December 9, 2011, the Trail Blazers announced that Oden had suffered an unspecified "setback" that left them less optimistic about his ability to play in the 2011–2012 season. Rather than signing an 8.9-million-dollar qualifying offer, Oden and the team negotiated a different offer. On February 3, 2012, Oden underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. On February 20, 2012, Oden was scheduled for a procedure on his left knee similar to the procedure he underwent 17 days earlier. However, during the operation, further damage to the articular cartilage was discovered, and Oden underwent his third micro-fracture surgery. Playing 82 games in his entire career so far, he has effectively played one full NBA season over the span of four years. On March 15, 2012, Oden was waived by the Blazers in an effort to create room on the roster for trade acquisitions.
It could only get better from here right?
That's a lot of injuries for a guy that is only 35 years old.
Yea.........if he likes playing croquet.............
I'd say that it is a good thing that Oden's injuries weren't all on the same knee (the way that it was good that Stafford's injuries were diversified), but this actually appears to be systemic. He might have some sort of condition. Even his best memories happened with a cast on at OSU. Here is what you get for $1.5M: Month 1 Month 2 Months 3 through buyout
You guys are forgetting that Joe actually brought Jake Voskuhl in for training camp. ...a guy that is known for averaging more combined fouls and turnovers than combined points and rebounds throughout his career. Am I the only one that is bothered by the fact that if Fabricio Oberto had remained a Piston, he'd likely be starting this year?
Doesn't sound like something you can heal with a smoothie and a frozen banana. ON the positive side, he has only played 82 games, so he would fit in next year with sophomores Brandon Knight and Rodney Stuckey.
What's LeBron James got to do with this thread?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I never had problems with 3M double-sided tape. I use red roll (gray tape) and it's strong.
1. Use the white 3M (or equivalent) tape.
2. Clean off the old glue! You MUST have a smooth surface to apply the tape.
3. Use the 3M (or equivalent) Adhesion promotor.
4. Clean the surface it will be sticking to ESPECIALLY if the paint has been cut and buffed! I will see guys go out and stick the moulding on a car that has just been detailed without cleaning the surface!
5. Be sure the surface isn't cold, warm it up if you have to.
Funny you should bring this up I just had a customer pull back in front of the office yesterday and come in to tell me the moulding was falling off the car that he just picked up the day before. I pulled the moulding off the rest of the way, (it was only held on by a small piece of tape) to see the tech had not cleaned off the old tape, not even close! The tape sure stuck well to the nice new paint though.
I have another tip that I have used for years, put a little daub of urethane (window setting urethane) at the end of the moulding before you stick it on.
One of the biggest tips I have is to know when you can re-tape a moulding and when it needs to be tossed and replaced with new. If it is a metal backed one for instance, like Ford and GM have used, toss it and replace.
What is the strongest glue or epoxy that you have used?
I've found many glue or epoxy products do not hold on moldings or trims as well as they should. I know most shops use 3m double sided tape to re-install body side moldings but they are never as strong as the factory new moldings double sided tape. I've seen some moldings come loose over time with shops using this method.
My experiences with the 3M molding/trim glue have been horrible. Its a squeeze tube glue that looks straight forward but it tends to lose its bind in very hot weather and/or eventually fall off. One of the worst glue products i've used tbh.
I've also seen people use windshield sealer, super glue, Q-bond, JB weld, gorrilla glue for quick adhesive fixes over the above. I know there are 3M 2 part epoxies or glues that i haven't really used much.
I just haven't found a method i completely trust 100% to hold trims, moldings, etc. on to vehicles long term. The double sided tape method which seems to be the most utilized seems very flawed for long term binding. Anyone have anything they can recommend?

Every day, a man living on the 40th floor, leaves to go to work by using the elevator. When he leaves, he goes all the way to the first floor, then departs the building. But upon arriving back home, he enters the elevator, goes to the twentieth floor, gets out, and takes the stairs for the last twenty floors. Why?
Does he deliver newspapers?
is he a window washer?
does he have a girlfriend on every floor from 20 - 40 ?
Did all the buttons work?
He got off on the first floor in the morning:On his return,did he enter on the first floor also ?Bee-Bop

I saw this and immediately thought of TDH. I thought that it would be a neat idea but I know how everybody likes to actually see the event and not enough TDH people would be there.

I saw this and immediately thought of TDH. I thought that it would be a neat idea but I know how everybody likes to actually see the event and not enough TDH people would be there.
There's definitely a strong fan base here.
i say we do something!!!!:fettchest
cool! this could be a TDH meeting place. Plus we could have lots of props displayed.
lets do this!
Who would be ideal for spearheading this? I'm willing to help.
It would be quite fun, but I probably won't be there. :(
california is way too far away for me or I would be there. I troop in the midwest mainly.
I am going down with some of the members of the Golden Gate Garrison, missed out on the last one due to illness.
Not to volunteer anybody............however
It would be a great gathering place
It also would be a GREAT place for those here who are prop makers
to show off their stuff and stuff to come
(Cruzer, Seeker, MOW, Fett Pride, Dark Side just to name a few and the list goes on and on
Id also be willing to help with Skalen:cheers :fettchest
i am gonna be hangin out in the fan area ALOT,that way i can get people to troop with me..hehe
While I'm not going to CIV I agree that TDH would be nuts to not take advantage of free table space. Think of the exposure!
I'm imagining two manequins one of Boba Fett and the other of Jango, both standing in the background with a big really cool "TDH" banner between them. A Zam would be awesome too.
I also think this would be cool. Plus those of us who would be helping to man the booth might get early entrance on those days. Maybe sign up for 2-3 hours shifts or something.
Props on display on the table/s. Prop making demonstrations. Raffle off a few props (I'd definitely donate a holster assembly). Have some sort of "Bounty" hunt if we'd like to get that organized and have enough participation.
I think it's a great idea! I'm willing to help if whomever has the final say thinks it's a worthy cause!:thumbsup
I will bring this up with the administration. However, I don't think any of the administration is going to be there the entire time. I also think it would be very difficult to get folks to man it the entire time and I know I would not want to be stuck there the whole time because folks didn't show or whatever. I know that the 501st has quite a few more people to lean on for help than we do. While I won't say it won't happen right now, I do think it is highly unlikely.
I think someone around the area should initiate this. Since it will be alot easier for them to set up etc..
Unless some from out of town arrives a day before the Con.
Skalen Fehl
You guys are pretty close right? and which one can right an awesome letter to Starwars.com?
We definitely appreciate the interest and are definitely looking into this! Please do not start writing things or organizing this until the Dent decides what we are going to do. If the Dent wants this to happen, then the Dent will assign people to organize it. However, if folks are available to man the table, we would certainly appreciate your letting us know :) It appears that we have to have someone man the table during the entire time the hall is open which is as follows:
Thursday, May 24 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Friday, May 25 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Saturday, May 26 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Sunday, May 27 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Monday, May 28 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
I will be attending the entire time. I could assist in the cooridination of this booth. I intend to be in the LA area Tuesday May 22 ,2007 through May 30, 2007. I could help coordianate with local TDH'ers during the set-up and tear down phases, plus work on a tenative booth schedule with folks who would like to volunteer through out the event. I have past experience putting together this type of thing for tradeshows and, not limited to designing and building parade floats, and coordinating parades in general, wherein proper volunteer coordination is critical for a succesful presentation.
I think it would be great to have a booth there to showcase the preiminent Fett site in the world!:fettpre
I agree that it would be a tragedy to allow such a great public relations opportunity to pass us by. However, if we can't do this well, we will not do it at all. Mirax will head this project and will appoint others to work with her. We will be looking for a LOT of volunteers to make the work load light. Please don't overwhelm her with PMs just yet as we have to be approved for a booth before taking any major steps. This is a very exciting opportunity for TDH, so I hope many of you will volunteer to help out!
I'll be there all four days and would like to help too.
I will also be there all 4 days, count me in as a volunteer!:fettchest
I shall be there for all four days as well.
Wait a minute, TDH is popular. But if it gets really, really popular because of a CIV booth does that mean we'll see ad banners and stuff here so The Dent can build an early retirement? :lol
If I was there, I would be happy to cordinate the after party drink fest.

Introducing Peter Pan's rambunctious pals, the Lost Boys!
This raggle taggle bunch can be found running around Neverland on big adventures with their fearless leader, Peter Pan and his fairy friend, Tink.
The Lost Boys have been appearing in Peter Pan stories ever since their debut in J. M. Barrie's play, Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. So how did they get to Neverland? These are the boys who fell out of their prams when their nurses weren't looking and are lost by their nannies. The Lost Boys of Peter Pan were lost in places like the Kensington Gardens and when no one claimed them after seven days, they disappeared to Neverland where they remain young and carefree with Peter Pan. There are no lost girls in Neverland becuase, according to Peter, girls are much too clever to fall out of their prams.
So who are the Lost Boys?
In order of appearance in this Disney cartoon lineup…
Nibs is described as a cheerful, confidant, charming and quite possibly the bravest Lost Boy. The only thing he remembers about his mother is that she wanted a cheque book and he would love to give her one… if only he knew what that is!
The Twins, First and Second Twins, don't know very much about themselves. In fact, they aren't allowed to know much about themselves becuase Peter Pan doesn't know anything about twins. No Lost Boy can know more than Peter…
Curly is not the smartest Lost Boy but one of the most loved. Barrie describes him as "a pickle" since he often gets into trouble. If you are ever wondering which one is Curly, just look for the lost boy with curly hair. He is also known as Cubby in the Disney cartoon.
Slightly is an entertaining character who considers himself quite the boy! His conceited manner comes from the fact that he thinks he is the only one to remember his past. Most of his memories are made up or based on misunderstandings. Thanks to a tag on his pinafore which said "slightly soiled," Slightly got his name! Slightly may not be the best pretender but he is excellent at making music and musical instruments.
Tootles is a humble and sweet fellow with a bit of an unlucky streak. Whenever he is away, thrilling adventures seem to happen. It is his arrow that shoots down Wendy when Tinkerbell told the Lost Boys that she was a bird and shooting her down would impress Peter.Share Tweet

I'm relatively cheap when it comes to my Fett armor and I ran into some *FREE* plexiglass. It's between 1/4'' and 1/2'' and I have been told by a friend that it will bend and stay in form with just a little heat (heat gun).
So my question:
Has anyone had any experience with using plexiglass? Does paint stick to it? Is it hard to bend? How hard is it to cut into shape?
My friend uses it to build aquariums so costume armor really isn't up his alley, hoping for some good responses! Thanks!

The issue of too many foreigners within the United States is among the most hotly
debated topics, but in many nations like Denmark, the opposite discussion is
occurring as the government looks at figures and realizes there simply are not
enough native born Danes to staff the work force. The Copenhagen Institute for
Future Studies is calling for relaxing immigration laws because there is a short
fall of about 100,000 jobs in the coming years that can only be filled by foreign
workers. A suggestion that is receiving greater attention is identifying nations,
like the United States in which millions of young workers can not find acceptable
jobs, and entice them to live in Denmark.
The issue has never been illegal or legal immigrants. The issue is identifying
people from other lands who either have the knowledge or are willing to work
at society's dirty jobs and allow them to enter the United States. The need for

It's just after dawn at the Dogfish Head brewpub in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where the ambition for the morning is to resurrect an Egyptian ale whose recipe dates back thousands of years.
From This Story

But will the za'atar—a potent Middle Eastern spice mixture redolent of oregano—clobber the soft, floral flavor of the chamomile? And what about the dried doum-palm fruit, which has been giving off a worrisome fungusy scent ever since it was dropped in a brandy snifter of hot water and sampled as a tea?
"I want Dr. Pat to try this," says Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head's founder, frowning into his glass.
At last, Patrick McGovern, a 66-year-old archaeologist, wanders into the little pub, an oddity among the hip young brewers in their sweat shirts and flannel. Proper to the point of primness, the University of Pennsylvania adjunct professor sports a crisp polo shirt, pressed khakis and well-tended loafers; his wire spectacles peek out from a blizzard of white hair and beard. But Calagione, grinning broadly, greets the dignified visitor like a treasured drinking buddy. Which, in a sense, he is.
The truest alcohol enthusiasts will try almost anything to conjure the libations of old. They'll slaughter goats to fashion fresh wineskins, so the vintage takes on an authentically gamey taste. They'll brew beer in dung-tempered pottery or boil it by dropping in hot rocks. The Anchor Steam Brewery, in San Francisco, once cribbed ingredients from a 4,000-year-old hymn to Ninkasi, the Sumerian beer goddess.
"Dr. Pat," as he's known at Dogfish Head, is the world's foremost expert on ancient fermented beverages, and he cracks long-forgotten recipes with chemistry, scouring ancient kegs and bottles for residue samples to scrutinize in the lab. He has identified the world's oldest known barley beer (from Iran's Zagros Mountains, dating to 3400 B.C.), the oldest grape wine (also from the Zagros, circa 5400 B.C.) and the earliest known booze of any kind, a Neolithic grog from China's Yellow River Valley brewed some 9,000 years ago.
Widely published in academic journals and books, McGovern's research has shed light on agriculture, medicine and trade routes during the pre-biblical era. But—and here's where Calagione's grin comes in—it's also inspired a couple of Dogfish Head's offerings, including Midas Touch, a beer based on decrepit refreshments recovered from King Midas' 700 B.C. tomb, which has received more medals than any other Dogfish creation.
"It's called experimental archaeology," McGovern explains.
To devise this latest Egyptian drink, the archaeologist and the brewer toured acres of spice stalls at the Khan el-Khalili, Cairo's oldest and largest market, handpicking ingredients amid the squawks of soon-to-be decapitated chickens and under the surveillance of cameras for "Brew Masters," a Discovery Channel reality show about Calagione's business.
The ancients were liable to spike their drinks with all sorts of unpredictable stuff—olive oil, bog myrtle, cheese, meadowsweet, mugwort, carrot, not to mention hallucinogens like hemp and poppy. But Calagione and McGovern based their Egyptian selections on the archaeologist's work with the tomb of the Pharaoh Scorpion I, where a curious combination of savory, thyme and coriander showed up in the residues of libations interred with the monarch in 3150 B.C. (They decided the za'atar spice medley, which frequently includes all those herbs, plus oregano and several others, was a current-day substitute.) Other guidelines came from the even more ancient Wadi Kubbaniya, an 18,000-year-old site in Upper Egypt where starch-dusted stones, probably used for grinding sorghum or bulrush, were found with the remains of doum-palm fruit and chamomile. It's difficult to confirm, but "it's very likely they were making beer there," McGovern says.

This part is used to help the belt to rotate the drum. It is white and made of plastic with a metallic bearing in the center.
This part works with the following brands: Maytag, Jenn-Air, International.
This part works with the following products: Dryer, Washer Dryer Combo.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
1. Removed front of machine (2 screws at the bottom).2. Removed 4 screws from inside the dryer, to take off the blower housing.3. Removed 4 screws and took out the large metal piece which supports the drum at the front. Removed the drum.4. Replaced the two rollers that support the drum in the rear. Cleaned the pins they run on, and oiled very lightly. Also replaced the idler roller. I was surpirsed to see that these rollers use plain bearings, not ball bearings.5. On the front support piece, drilled out the rivets for the glides, and replaced the worn out glides with new parts. Applied a little glue (3M weatherstrip adhesive) to the cork pieces, to glue them to the metal. Attached the plastic pieces over the cork pieces, and riveted in place using rivets that came with the glide kits.6. Replaced front and rear felt seals. This was not as tricky as I expected it to be. They were held in by metal tabs. Glued the ends where they came together.7. Replaced the felt blower seal. Glued to the blower housing.8. Reinstalled the drum, installed new belt, which came with good instructions (luckily).9. Reassembled front support piece and the front of the cabinet.I also cleaned the lint from the cabinet and from the vent hose.In general, the job went without a hitch, and the machine probably has quite a few years left, despite the fact that it's 18 years old. This gives me a good feeling.I'd say this would be challenging, though, for someone who is not pretty experienced with machinery repair. Also, the cost of the parts was significant enough that it would not have been unreasonable to have opted for a new machine.

I told my wife, "it's working fine. Let's just wait until it breaks, and I'll fix it." She said the noise is intolerable and if I didn't fix it, she'd "call someone to come and look at it." The forums all suggested that noise during operation is due to worn out components that are involved with turning the tumbler. So I ordered a bunch of parts from Partselect.com and set to work. I replaced the belt, the belt idler wheel, and both of the tumbler support wheels.I reinstalled the tumbler, plugged the dryer in, and started it up. Damn, the same noise as before. Wait! The tumbler isn't turning. In my haste to see if the noise was gone, I'd forgotten to rethread the belt. Analysis: noise unchanged but tumbler not rotating. Conclusion: the hateful noise has nothing to do with any of the components involved in turning the tumbler.Looking and listening more closely, I determined that the noise was coming from the blower, the plastic squirrel-cage like assembly attached to the other end of the motor shaft. It seems to be rattling on the shaft, causing the noise. I remove it, clean off a couple decades of matted-on lint, and reinstall it. No change.I do not have a replacement blower, so I remove the blower from the shaft, clean up the shaft with alcohol, then put a piece of plastic electrical tape part way around the shaft, effectively increasing its OD by a few thousandths of an inch. I reinstall the blower, put everything back together again, and start it up. No noise -- nothing but a low purring hum! Good enough for me, for as long as it lasts. When my improvised patch fails, I'll order a new blower and install that.It's good that I was so stupid as to forget to reinstall the belt before I started the dryer the first time. Since the noise was still there, I was forced to re-examine my assumption that the noise was being caused by a worn-out tumbler-turning component. If i HAD installed the belt the first time, I'm sure I would have continued with the incorrect assumption that the noise problem was related to the tumbler.My time and money weren't wasted, I don't think. The various wheels and the belt were over 16 years old and due for replacement anyhow.
After much coercement from my wife, I listened to the squealing noise she kept telling me about. Then it quit working completely and I had no choice. Probably the motor. Not being one to want to do this more than once and figuring after 16 years all of it could be bad, I ordered all moving parts, as well as new front and rears felt seals for the drum and the blower seal. Everything in taking the dryer apart was straight forward and obvious. The tricky part was getting the belt back on the tensioner. Working from the front of the dryer, I did this one-handed via the lower left side around the motor while my wife held the drum in place.
Took off face of dryer (two lower screws below door in front) and then removed the drum which gave me access to the idler arm and idler pully. Vaccumed the interior to remove dust and lint. Replaced idler arm and idler pulley assembly. Replace old belt as drum was reinstalled. Opened rear access panel to complete final routing of the new belt over idler pulley and drive motor. Turned the machine on to check repairs and function. Closed rear access door. Pushed dryer back into place and re-leveled machine.
I opened the back acess panel and started the dryer. Looking at the motor and idler pulleys it was obvious by the frequency of the squealing noise that it was coming from the idler pulley.I pulled the retainer clip and tension spring from the idler pulley and removed it. I applied some grease to the shaft and reinstalled the idler pulley.The squeal was gone confirming that the pulley bushing was dry. I ordered the new idler pulley and when it arrived the next day I cleaned the grease off of the shaft and installed the new idler pulley. Problem solved.
I observed that the top of the dryer was affixed by two screws at each front corner. With these removed the top of the dryer could be easily lifted and with the front support panel removed the drum, drive motor and idler pulley could be accessed. This allowed the installation of a new drum belt in a short period of time. Installing the belt from the front lower left hand side proved very difficult for me but with the top raised and coming in from the top it was accomplished in short order. Thank you, Wesley Harmon
My first attemp was to replace the drum roller and idler roller, drive belt, and the felt seal for the back, since I had experience replacing these on an older machine many years ago. The dryer was very easy to work on....After installing the new parts, I reassembled and discovered it still made the same loud noise. I then, disassembled for the second time to discover the blower wheel was worn out; so i ordered another blower wheel and a drum support roller (i only ordered one the first time.). After reassembling it made an annoying high pitch sound. I attributed that to the new parts...probably the new belt and new felt seal. Gave it some time to run-in and it seems to have quieted down. Overall, i found the dryer very easy to work on. I actually found the felt seal the most onerous to install....needed to have about three hands to get the drum back in place! I just wish that the stamped metal dryer housing didn't have such sharp edges. I had to be very careful to avoid sharp burrs but still got nicked a couple of times.
Removed back panel of machine which exposed badly worn idler pulley. Have had problem before on another dryer so I was sure what problem was before I started. Removed snap washer and cloth washer and then bad pulley.(It was very worn and wobbly).Cleaned shaft with small piece of emery paper and put two drops of oil on shaft and replaced old pulley with new one.Put back washer and snap washer.Drive belt had slipped away from its proper position so I had to remove the front panel of the dryer to place the belt back and realign it on the drum and around the new pulley and the motor drive shaft. Not really that difficult.....Machine now runs like it's brand new.....
Problem was the blower wheel, (Plastic deteriorated). Replaced the tumbler and motor belt as well as th idler pulley. While the blower wheel turned out to be the problem, the other parts were significantly deteriorated. Since I had the dryer disassembled it made sense to replace the other parts. The 24 year old dryer runs like new. The parts select instructional videos were extremely helpful.
Tip: If the belt broke make sure the Drum Rollers are not seized which could have broken the belt. I recommend if replacing the belt replace the Drum Rollers (2- required) at the same time.The instruction sheet that came with the Drum Roller kit is straight forward. It provided detail on what to disassemble to replace the rollers. So follow the instructions. Tip: Make sure you have a C – clip ring pliers to remove the C clip. The instruction sheet calls it the snap ring The Idler Pulley came with no instructions, however it was easy to replace. The idler pulley is secured with an "E" shape clip which can be removed with a small straight blade screw driver. The instruction sheet on how to install the belt was good showing how the belt is routed. The instruction wants the belt installed from the front around the tumbler then from underneath the tumbler towards the back and around the motor pulley and idler pulley. It is hard to see the motor and idler pulleys from underneath the tumbler. However I think it was easier if the tumbler was moved forward enough so you can see the motor and idler pulleys from the top. Install the belt as shown in the instruction sheet diagram around the motor pulley with the groves of the belt are against the pulley, then around the idler pulley. While holding the belt with slight tension, move the tumbler back into position while routing the belt around the tumbler and slowly turning the tumbler until the belt is completely installed. The belt should be about 1-1/2" from the back screws which hold the tumbler baffles. Note: the belt should be installed with the flat side against the tumbler. The belt should not be in the back grove of the tumbler.
actually used the videos available on your website and it made the job really simple other than the fact that I live in Florida and it was 96 degrees and my dryer is in my non-air conditioned garage.
Fast receipt of parts from supplier . All parts went together very quickly. Don/t recommend this work for those who have no mechanical skills. realignment of screws can be very tricky . They must all be correctly aligned first and driven in at diagonals to equalize pressure . Job needs to be used with hand tools as it is easy to strip out the threads in dryer by overtightening the screws.PS before this we had replaced the drum belt. Update:We ran the dryer after replacing the drum support rollers and the idler pulley and it was smooth for about 5 minutes. then the rumbling and uneven rotation started up again! The tip-off was when we had done a test roll on the drum after changing the above parts, we heard a rumble from the blower wheel! so we ordered the blower wheel, replaced it and the dryer sounds like new.Thanks to others who have written their stories which helped us figure out the problem. : ) saves big $$ on buying a new dryer. PS ours is 15 years old and has had heavy use.
There were two screws to remove the front of the dryer. Then 4 screws to remove the front drum support. Remove the drum. Then one nut each on changing the back drum support rollers. Assemble the drum and front support in reverse, and door front, don't forget to put the new drive belt ovre the drum. Then from the rear panel opening, one screw to change the idler assembly. Easy
After viewing repair video I used those instructions, after removing drum place new belt on drum, I used scotch tape to hold belt in place, tape belt with 2 inch strip about every foot around drum, leave extra belt that connects to drive motor folded down and taped to drum. After installing drum connect belt to drive motor and roll drum to remove tape. This will keep belt from sliding out of place on drum while installing.
Took off back panel, removed E-ring and what was left of the old pulley. Put new pulley and washer on.. replaced E-ring and wrapped belt around pulley. Replaced back panel... Dryer worked like new.

Re: Winter under a tarp
I help my Boat Buddy tarp his 34 foot sport cruiser each year. He uses some verticals bottom-blocked and padded to the deck and tie-braced to the rails. Then a wide, yellow shipping ratchet strap, fore to aft goes across and gets screwed to the tops of the studs, over the "spoiler" and down to a smaller, regular ratchet strap, going to each stern corner cleat..like a split-stay.
We add a few pc of lath, screwed to the sides of the vert. members to add strength and pad all the critical areas like the radome, ant. mounts and the entire length of the shipping strap and lath.
Then a huge, heavy-duty 30'X40' (?) silver poly tarp gets pulled over the whole thing; wrapping corners like a Christmas present. The edges are secured with those funky yellow snap-ring dealies and lines are secured to each side, passed under the keel. Some are tied off to the cleats, stern rails or prop shafts.
He figgers a tarp gets replaced every three to four years (blue poly only lasted two!) and most of the wood (well labeled and saved) will last nearer ten. Local costs for a shrinky-dink job have priced out to near $1500 , vs. a hundred or so amortized over three+ years!!!! All fits on top of and in the cargo area of the Explorer... along with tols and spares! Batteries consumables and the inflatable ride along on the trip home.
It took the two of us almost three lazy hours to wrap it up. A late b-fast, a couple cups o'coffee and a later stop for sammitches on the way home make a fall chore into fellowship and fun.
I suspect the "new" boat will have a similar tarp job soon. A couple of 2x? props fore and aft bungee'd to the mast; some soft strap collars around same and a couple of ratchet straps from pulpit-to-mast-to-stern will support it. The folded "flap" astern will make a nifty boarding spot and ventilator. A 28X16 footer should make it stem ta stern with the snap toggles tied to the toe rail, tho I figger two separate sections might be better than a taped slit up the lee side!
AFA wrap?? Some use it again. If ya have the $$ and the inclination; go ahead w/wrap. The prop shop has been under renovation for a few years. He has wrapped the new section with recycled shrink-um. Sure do make it windproof !
Re: Winter under a tarp
I'm a little (all right, a lot) late to this thread. But I do have a lot of experience with both tarps and shrink wrap, so I'll share some lessons learned:
Shrink wrap is a great idea, but I've never seen a yard that didn't cause some damage while putting up the frame and shrink wrap. And very few come out 100% perfect. There are always a few casualties during every wind or snow storm. So the whole "Set it and forget it" strategy really doesn't apply if you care about your boat. Unless maybe you did the shrink wrapping yourself.
There are two things you need to do right if you want your tarp to last the season:
1) Have a sharp pitch. As someone mentioned, snow doesn't slide off a tarp as well as shrink wrap. The only workable solution is a tall "A" frame that goes right up to the gunwale or rail.
2) Keep it tight. I've tried using bottles as weights, and it works. But lately I've changed to using shock cord pulled tight. If it flaps anywhere, or the wind can get under it anywhere, you've lost.
Probably the two biggest mistakes I see are allowing it to get loose somewhere, and allow water or snow to "pool" instead of slide off.
Using a spider web of small stuff (dollar store clothes line works great) can help avoid pooling, but ultimately the design of your "A" is more important. I've seen pooling where the tarp turns just a little over a rail. Once it starts to pool, you have to keep pulling it tight after each rain or snow because the pool will grow, ripping the tarp and supports. Then re-engineer that location next year.
I can walk through a boat yard this time of year and pretty accurately predict whose tarps will last, and whose won't. Those who put in a serious effort to keep them tight are almost always OK. Those who ignored even one slack area will lave lost the tarp by spring.
Re: Winter under a tarp
This year I'm trying a slightly new system that I thought I'd share. So in years past I've relied primarily on weights but have also put one or two lines wrapped under the keel of the boat. However these lines never remain in tension.
So this year I'm trying a weight and a pulley to keep those lines under tension. I used 4 of them. The lines in the bow and stern are nice because they pull in all the excess tarp and leave less of a wind target.
All the anchor points are golf balls with slipped bowlines constricting around them. I'm a bit concerned about chafe on the lines running under the boat, I've seen it in the past, so I added a back-up line for the weight on the pulley line in-case it fails.
My frame is just two sawhorses (one tall one over the cockpit and another on the deck) with strapping boards running between them. I did a better job anchoring the sawhorses because last year they toppled in a wind storm (although the tarp remained intact).
Re: Winter under a tarp
We live just east of you. We have never done shrink wrap. Have done tarps the last 17 years.
And yes - we build a good sturdy frame and are able to go on board any time we like. Our boat is 34 feet long and we keep it at our boat yard. About 15 minute drive from our home.
I have pics if you need them.

Since I can't cover the painted topsides with shrinkwrap, I run it to the toerail, which makes it easier to remove and reinstall. I use pvc electrical conduit to create a reuseable arched frame. When I removed the shrinkwrap, I carefully sliced it to the stays and cut it into two pieces at the mast. It was basically lots of taping where it was cut. Each time I reused it I had to add a small bit of new shrinkwrap at the mast cut because I couldn't quite pull the two sections together. I didn't unshrink it (I don't think that's possible) and only needed to reshrink it where I didn't tape it tightly enough.
Really crazy is the fact that I did the original shrinkwrap myself with a home heat gun. With it going only to the toerail I could do all the work from the deck and shrink it from inside. Total cost the first time was about $200, after that about $30 for tape, and I still have a lot of shrinkwrap left.
Re: Winter under a tarp
I've used the same heavy duty canvas tarp over the boat for at least the past 15 years and it's done very well. The boat spends the entire winter in the Annapolis area in the water and the tarp is not even mounted on a hard frame. I do remove all sails and string a line from mast to backstay to form a frame and also add some lines from mast to boom gallows for additional support. The canvas is then put over this "frame" and the edges tied to the handrails along the cabin top. In those 15 or more years that setup remains sound during all sorts of weather and wind. It does not cover the entire boat, but will keep the snow off the cabin top and most of the cockpit and allows me to walk around the deck of the boat.
Re: Winter under a tarp
My 22 footer, I used a tarp. I built a make-shift frame, and it lasted the winter fine.
Bought my 25 footer, and the gentleman used an elaborate PVC pipe frame he built (I have all the pvc)... Honestly it worked fine, but the boat was full of pieces of tarp, and was harder to clean than my 22 footer.
I am fortunate, that I may have indoor storage this year for my boat... my opinion is the shrinkwrap is more a set it and forget it... Tarps work fine, but you cannot drape over stanchions, and you have to bring the tarp's angle up to slide the snow easily off. I think if you do the tarp, you should step the mast as well (if you can), and throw the boom on, bring the boom way up, and drape the tarp over that. It's you're best bet. Then if you can run ribs across the boom to deck it'll better support the tarp.
Just my worthless $0.02.
I hope I don't need to deal with that again this year, always was sad to see her under cover.
Re: Winter under a tarp
The shrinkwarp guy comes to my house and does the boat for 300 dollars over my well designed frame
A faircloth or other real nice cover is gonna have to last 20 years
AS i have used canvas in the past on other boats it was always IMHP more of a PITA dealing with BIG snows as it was harder to slide it off the canvas and always involved me and a pushbroom keeping the snow load in control
My friends cover already had to be re-stitched by that big company as a PO left in on over one summer voiding the warranty

you only got her two weeks ago...not nearly enough time to acclimate and adjust to other animals. not nearly enough time.
high price to pay for the mistake. you never totally know about acceptance of other animals with a shelter dog...and it takes a long time to be comfortable that all will get along. you need to crate (or confine to a room without the other animals), when you're not home, and supervise closely even when you are...until all have acclimated. i would never be comfortable with her exposed to the cats when i wasn't home, if i were you.
New rescue German Shepherd
Almost two weeks ago, I rescued a German Shepherd from our local pound. She is my second shepherd (the first was a lab/shepherd mix who looked like GS only--he lived to age 14, passing away just after Christmas 2013). My new girl is an adult, about 3 years old, unspayed and heartworm positive although she is not showing any clinical signs of the disease. We have a long road ahead, but she has seemed so calm, walks so well on leash, and has gotten along with my two other dogs (Jack Russell Terrier & a pit/lab mix) very well. She also seemed to take no note of my cats until I left her alone with my feline/canine pack to go to a wedding. When I returned, I found one of my cats hiding in the closet with breathing difficulty--broken ribs, punctured lung and despite taking her to the ER vet, I had to have her put down (she was 17). I responsible, but am wondering if I will ever be able to get Jude to adjust to and tolerate cats, or if I will always have to separate her when I am not here. I have also discovered that she is able to jump a baby gate with surprising ease, and combined with the walking close to my leg on the left side on leash, and stopping me near steps, I'm wondering if she may have been trained as a service dog. Please help me with the cat issue--I love this dog, but I also love my cats!

Andras Forgacs:
Leather and meat without killing animals
By 2050, it will take 100 billion land animals to provide the world's population with meat, dairy, eggs and leather goods. Maintaining this herd will take a huge, potentially unsustainable toll on the planet. What if there were a different way? In this eye-opening talk, tissue engineering advocate Andras Forgacs argues that biofabricating meat and leather is a civilized way to move past killing animals for hamburgers and handbags.

Introduction to Investment Clubs
Investment Clubs
What did people who were Fools at heart do before there was a Motley Fool? Well, many of them participated -- and still participate -- in investment clubs.
Investing has long been something that people generally did not discuss amongst themselves. It was perceived as so mysterious and difficult that those without MBAs shouldn't try messing with it, lest they lose their entire nest egg in some silly blunder. Most people just closed their eyes and handed over their life savings to the Suspendered Ones on Wall Street, hoping for the best. Except for a small but growing band of merry investors, that is.
These exceptions to the rule were often members of investment clubs. They met regularly, discussing investing in general and various specific stocks. They pooled their money and plunged into the market. They took control of their own finances and did it... together. In many ways, investment clubs have been a precursor to Fooldom. Indeed, the Motley Fool has been called "the world's largest investment club."
At the core of Foolishness is community. Readers across the globe share thoughts, asking and answering questions in message boards, chats, and featured articles. Communities of Intel investors bat around opinions on the future of personal computing. People interested in Coca-Cola discuss how fast the company can grow and whether the stock is currently a good buy.
If you're intrigued by the time-tested, rewarding tradition of investment clubs, read through the articles in this area and consider whether forming or joining an investment club is something you might want to do.

Where you have it, you not only risk interfering with the slide lock's function, you also may destructively interfere with your trigger finger.
Bring your left wrist her forward, so that your left hand's fingertips overlap your right hand's knuckles. That will force you to place your left thumb on the frame well forward of the slide-lock lever.
It may also help to wrap your left index finger around the front of the triggerguard somewhat.

Five years ago, President Bush and his close associate, Dick Cheney, promised the American people there was need to invade Iraq in order to strike a blow against terrorism. During the ensuing five years, al-Qaeda emerged in Pakistan, in North Africa, in Iraq, and now in Yemen. A Saudi citizen, Naif Mohammad Al-Qahtani, has been identified as the leader of a new terrorist group, "the "Al-Qaeda Network in the South of the Arabaian Peninsula." The group is allegedly receiving financial support for Syrian sources who support the group's work to destabilize Yemen and Saudi Arabia. In a message titled, "Come to Yemen," the group urged any Al-Qadea supporters living in Saudi Arabia to hop across the border to Yemen and join the fight to overthrow the government.
The alleged immediate object of the new terror group is wiping out the tourist trade in order to damage the Yemen economy. The fall out from Bush failures in Iraq continue rippling through the Middle East

'The hit that caused the position shifting – Kasparaitis' low check on Connolly along the boards Tuesday in a 2-1 Sabres victory – was deemed legal by Regier. But he, like his team, didn't like it. "I would be supportive of taking those hits out of the game," said Regier, who added discussions about the legality of hip checks have been held at GM meetings. "That isn't even a hip check. You're catching him with your rear end, and it's low enough, especially with someone like Kasparaitis, it's low enough to be in the knee area."'
'Already, it seems, we are taking him for granted. Miller makes difficult saves in crucial moments, on the road, against top opponents – and you react with an impassive shrug. This is borderline blasphemy, but he is beginning to remind me of Dominik Hasek, who had a way of making the sensational save seem ordinary.'
'The last time the Sabres trailed by three goals and won was Feb. 14, 2004, at Toronto (6-4).'
'Crozier still heads to the rink — the Sabres' head offices inside the HSBC Arena — every day at 5:45 a.m. His official title with Buffalo is "special consultant," though most of the consulting he does now is over the phone with fans looking to buy tickets and perhaps talk about the success of the current squad. "I've been out of the hockey department since [Ted] Nolan left in 1999, but I'm still part of it all," Crozier says. "I like coming to the rink. I like seeing the players. I like doing my thing."'
'In fact I only have one problem with the league's use of video replay. It's that in the case of this year's Buffalo Sabres they just can't seem to get it right.'
'The Sabres, 15 games over .500 and pursuing their first playoff berth in four seasons, have weathered the losses of Daniel Briere, J.P. Dumont, Pyatt and defenceman Dmitri Kalinin — and remained one of the best defensive teams in the National Hockey League.'

'Drury and Mike Grier, who both attempted to fight Kaspiritis during the game but the Ranger defenseman flopped without a fight to draw a penalty, were angry that a "hockey code" was broken when he didn't stand up and defend himself. Drury said, "I don't think that much of a 240 pound man that was out there flopping around out there like a squirt… I actually feel embarrassed for him the way that he just didn't stand up for himself."'
'In 48 games this season, Connolly has nine goals and 29 assists.'
"Everyone's still pretty angry," said Sabres co-captain Chris Drury. "It was a dirty hit to chop the knees right out from under the guy."
'"I thought it was cheap, I thought he went low at the knees," Ruff said Wednesday. "It may not be the dirtiest hit … but he didn't have to go low. He's known for that. He's a cheap shot artist."'

The United States currently uses more energy for air- conditioning than all other countries combined—a sobering statistic from Stan Cox of the Land Institute in Salina, Kansas. That distinction might not remain true for long, however. Several developing countries rank among both the most populous and hottest areas in the world. As personal incomes rise in those countries, their use of air-conditioning will also likely go up, which in turn could lead to an unprecedented increase in energy demand. I have estimated that in metropolitan Mumbai alone, the large population and hot climate combine to create a potential energy demand for cooling that is about a quarter of the current demand of the entire United States.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 87 percent of American households are equipped with air-conditioning, and the United States expends about 185 billion kilowatt hours of energy annually on residential cooling. Therefore, it is not surprising that researchers frequently use the United States as a yardstick of high air-conditioning usage. For example, energy consultant George Henderson has recently projected how much energy might be used in the future in various European cities, should the usage of air-conditioning there follow the U.S. pattern. Energy analysts Michael McNeil and Virginie Letschert of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have projected how much air-conditioning households in developing countries might use if cooling were more affordable to them, again using the United States as a baseline. However, McNeil and Letschert analyzed large regions of the world and considered only a small number of specific countries.
Rapid increases in the ownership of air conditioners are already occurring in many developing countries. According to research by McNeil and Letschert, the percentage of urban Chinese households with an air conditioner jumped from less than 1 percent in 1990 to 62 percent in 2003. In 2010 alone, 50 million air-conditioning units were sold in China. In another key developing country—India—only 2 percent of households had air-conditioning in 2007. But the situation is changing quickly: McNeil and Letschert estimated that air-conditioning sales there are growing by about 20 percent a year.
As more people around the world adopt air-conditioning, the energy demands in developing countries are certain to increase. At the same time, climate change is expected to make cooling demands even greater than they are today. Morna Isaac and Detlef van Vuuren of the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency assessed future residential energy use for cooling in the world in the context of potential climate change. They estimated that by 2100 worldwide energy demand for air-conditioning could increase by 72 percent as a result of climate change alone.
To gain a greater understanding of potential future air-conditioning needs in each of the countries around the world, I conducted an analysis that takes into account two primary factors: a country's local climate and the size of its population.
The climate is represented through a measure known as cooling degree days, which provides an index of the energy demand required to cool indoor spaces. The cooling-degree-days index is calculated by subtracting 18 from the mean daily outdoor temperature in degrees Celsius and summing up only positive values over a fixed period, such as an entire year. The selection of 18 degrees as the base outdoor temperature accounts for the additional heat generated by occupants and their activities, resulting in an average indoor temperature of 21 degrees—typical room temperature—when it is 18 degrees outdoors. For an average outdoor temperature higher than 18 degrees, most buildings require cooling to maintain a 21-degree indoor temperature.
My calculations used a pair of underlying variables, the annual cooling degree days for each country (weighted by the geographical distribution of the population) and the country's total population (using figures for 2010). Examples of the values of these two variables are shown in the graphs at right.
The specific calculations involved two steps: deriving annual person cooling degree days—an index of the potential demand for energy for cooling—as a product of these two variables, and then normalizing the product with respect to the corresponding value in the United States. This index estimates what the energy usage would be in each country if air-conditioning became as prevalent there as it is in the United States. Examples of the final results are shown in the graphs above. The analysis was performed for the 170 countries that were common to both sets of underlying data.
The results indicate that of the top 25 countries in terms of person cooling degree days, 14 are in Asia, 7 are in Africa, and 2 each are in North and South America. The United States ranks as number 9, despite the fact that it has the coolest climate of these 25 countries (meaning it has the lowest number of cooling degree days before multiplying by population).
Three notable findings emerged from studying the potential energy demand for air-conditioning in these 170 countries. First, eight countries have the potential to exceed the United States' yardstick of high air-conditioning usage, because of their warm climates and significant populations. Furthermore, the top three could surpass the United States by substantial amounts: India, China, and Indonesia by factors of 14, 5.2, and 3.1, respectively, if they adopt American standards of cooling.
Second, among the top 25 countries, 22 are below the World Bank income limit for developing countries. Hence, the current cooling demand there is nowhere near the possible peak.
Third, the total demand in the 169 countries analyzed (excluding the United States) has the potential for cooling-energy demand that is 45 times greater than in the United States today. More broadly, the future demand in all countries of the world outside of the United States—the United Nations currently lists 229 of them—has the potential to exceed the demand in the United States by a factor of 50.
Several caveats are in order. Cooling degree days, being a temperature measure, does not represent all factors that are relevant to the potential demand for cooling. Some other considerations include the extent of local cloud cover, humidity, the amount of interior space to be cooled per person, and differences in dwelling construction and their effects on thermal insulation. Variations in the energy efficiency of air conditioners across countries were not included in this analysis. In addition, cultural differences in the tolerance of hot temperatures and in environmental responsibility were beyond the scope of this study.
Because of these limitations, the present calculations should be viewed only as first approximations of the potential future energy demand for air-conditioning. Nevertheless, it is clear that the global energy demand for air-conditioning will grow substantially as nations become more affluent, with the consequences of climate change potentially accelerating the demand. This trend will put additional strain not only on global energy resources but also on the environmental prospects of a warming planet.
Several institutions have recently made major technical advances in the design of more energy-efficient air conditioners. For example, developments at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory suggest that efficiency improvements of 20 to 70 percent are possible compared to current models of air conditioners. Changes in housing design and urban planning are also needed, but such changes require more time and resources for implementation. The data I presented here emphasize the urgency to accelerate progress in all relevant areas.

I was so happy when Melinda announced this month's craft because I new instantly that this was going to be a solution to one of my problems. You see, we have a solicitor problem. In the summer especially, its relentless. Sometimes the people that come to our door are really pushy and down right rude, and being home alone a lot of the time it makes me uncomfortable. At one point in time I had a little vinyl "no soliciting" sign on the door but it got in the way of my wreath and came down. (Because we all know the wreath is far more important!) My husband has been asking me to put something back up, so when I saw Melinda's sign, I new mine would be a "no soliciting" sign.
Wanna See?
- I have a love affair with scrapbook paper. I literally get sucked down the scrap aisle at the craft store and get stuck there. (Although I've yet to use a page to make an actually scrap book.) I just adore all the patterns and colors. So I decided to use scrap paper for my design. The letters are also cut from card stock and all of it is modge podged on.
- When I went to Lowes and asked for a 6x6 castine, they looked at me like I had sprouted horns. So I ended up finding a 7x7 wood plaque at Micheal's. Same difference really.
- To hang, I drilled two holes so I could thread my ribbon through and have a cute little bow up front.
- Because the majority of my sign is created from paper, I was worried about it holding up to the weather outside. So after is was complete I sprayed the whole thing down with Thompson's water seal. (the same stuff you'd seal a deck with.) This gave it a water proof finish, although it does leave the sign a bit greasy feeling, so be warned.

Event Details
For a charter school to succeed, it must have a board that is committed to the school's mission, possesses substantial leadership skills and expertise, sets policy that guides the charter school's work, and evaluates both the charter school and itself with an eye toward continuous improvement.
Just-In-Time Board Orientation for Charter Schools will provide a clear, crisp picture of board member responsibilities in policy development, strategic planning, fiduciary duties, fundraising, and oversight functions. This session will provide information, tools and techniques needed to bring board members up to speed quickly. It will increase their confidence and their productivity in board and committee meetings right from the start. As a result, board members will be better able to "hit the ground running." Just-in-Time Board Orientation will be helpful to prospective board members to assist them in making an informed decision about whether to join the board of a charter school. The session can also help current board leaders re-focus their efforts.
Who Should Attend:
Charter school board members especially new board members, prospective board members, individuals thinking of joining a charter school board and looking for an effective way to find out what board service entails; charter school executive staff leaders; chairpersons of board nominating, governance, and training and development committees.
Frank Martinelli has over 35 years of work, training and consulting experience with a variety of nonprofit and public sector organizations. He is president of the Center for Public Skills Training where he specializes in strategic planning, governing board development, volunteer management, and community partnership and alliance building. Since 1976 over 25,000 professional staff, board and other volunteer leaders have benefited from Frank's practical, results-oriented training and consultation.

Egypt court sentences 21 to death for stadium disaster
CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced to death 21 people found guilty of involvement in the Port Said soccer stadium disaster in which 74 people died last year.
The ruling could help reduce prospects of fresh clashes on Egypt's turbulent streets. Soccer fans and families of those killed had threatened more violence if the punishments did not satisfy them, and many had demanded the accused be executed.
The ruling followed nine deaths during protests nationwide on Friday and early on Saturday, held to mark two years since Egypt's revolution forced strongman Hosni Mubarak from power and to accuse President Mohamed Mursi and his Islamist allies of reimposing authoritarian rule.
The judge, Sobhy Abdel Maguid, read out a list of 21 names "referred to the Mufti", a phrase used to denote a death verdict as all such sentences must be reviewed by Egypt's top religious authority.
Seventy-three people have been charged with involvement in the February 1, 2012 disaster at the end of a match between Cairo's Al Ahly and al-Masry, the local side.
Spectators were crushed when panicked crowds tried to escape from the stadium after a post-match pitch invasion by supporters of al-Masry. Others fell or were thrown from terraces, witnesses said.
Many of those who died were supporters of Al Ahly.
The verdicts for others accused will be announced on March 9, said the judge, who had called for calm in the court before and during the reading of the ruling.
In response to the sentences, supporters gathered at Al Ahly club in Cairo cheered. In the courtroom on the outskirts of Cairo, families of victims clapped and some wept with emotion. Continued...
