What is in this article?:
- Business Intelligence for the 21st Century (Part One): The Cloud
- 21st Century Demands
- Customization
For small and midsize manufacturers, the ability to adjust to the ever-shifting trends and demands of today's global market is essential to stay afloat. It is therefore vital that they utilize a business intelligence (BI) program that is flexible enough to adapt to these changes and robust enough to provide the real-time, actionable intelligence such an environment demands.
Increasingly for these manufacturers, this means stepping fully into the 21st century -- into cloud-based BI systems.
To Roman Bukary, general manager of manufacturing and wholesale distribution for NetSuite, the advantage of such a step is clear: manufacturers are adopting it "because it makes sense. Because it saves you money. Because it works. Because it makes you more competitive as a manufacturer."
Bukary explained that NetSuite -- a cloud-based ERP system provider in Silicon Valley -- has targeted these small and midsize companies because they stand to find the greatest profit from the services it provides.
"When we talk about manufacturing, some people think of Boeing (IW 500/15) and Caterpillar (IW 500/27)," Bukary said. "But that's not exactly who we have in mind."
Rather, he said, cloud services are aimed at midmarket companies on the rise. This includes companies across the industry, ranging from such diverse extremes as mobile audio producer, Aliph, to synthetic oil producer, Schafer Oil.
What these companies have in common, he said, is that they are "multinational in their DNA -- global in their DNA. Companies that have to respond to key market trends quickly."
In other words, he said, "21st century manufacturers."

Wojciech Szczesny is on track to become one of the best goalkeepers in the world, according to Arsène Wenger.
It's only a year since the Polish international made his Premier League debut against Manchester United at Old Trafford but he has already established himself as Arsenal's No 1.
Szczesny impressed on another trip to Manchester at the weekend and, at 21, he evidently has a big career in front of him. Wenger believes the sky is the limit for the talented young Pole.
"He is one of the best already in his first season [in the starting line-up]," the manager told Arsenal Player. "He has, like the team I must say, a promising future. We are confident that if he keeps his attitude and determination to do well he can be one of the best.
"I wouldn't like to put too much pressure on him. My secret belief is that he shouldn't set any limitations on his progress and personally I am confident that he can let other people judge how good he is.
"I have shown with my decisions that I am a great believer in Wojciech. The rest, how far he can go, I wouldn't like to predict. That is what a career is all about.
"He is brave and that's an important quality. You can make the goal small and yourself big. That's another important quality for a goalkeeper. He is just at the start of his career though and you do not want to say too early that he is the finished article.
"I believe that as soon as you lose that sharpness to improve you are in trouble, no matter how young you are. That's why I would just say, 'keep your attitude and you will have a bright future'."

Blogroll in a Pearltree soz authors the pearl isnt the latest blogpost!
A blog that plays around with images
The layout changes from here to two smaller columnsThe blog is intentionally unprofessional looking in the sense that it isnt sleek and modern. If you prefer that style, the author offers her apologies. As an individual who likes lots of info, bookshelves crammed with books not categorised or in tidy rows but just crammed full with books leaning, some on top of others, no sizing order, not hardback but just lovely information to dip into all over the place... and lots of creative stuff, embroidery, painting, internet programmes, lots of photos, cookery, home made bread and pizza and other recipies (morissminorarcana) then perhaps this blog will make sense. It would be nice however to be able to change the column sizes just slightly ...so if anyone out there knows how please advise.... so far the theme style wont allow it. I have made a few more modern approach wordpress blogs, one in particular for learning stuff... anything at all at http://businessstudiesalevelrevision2012.wordpress.com/

Last summer a friend and I were catching crappie using his boat. To me crappie fishing is more a social/community activity in the same way dove hunting is, and duck hunting (with other parties that is) , bass and trout fishing are not. So a certain amount of crowding is expected, but I try to leave at least casting distance+ between me and the nearest boat. We pretty much had the spot to ourselves cuz we had arrived early to beat the heat.
About 10 am a pontoon boat motors up, slows down and continues coming and at about 10-feet drops anchor. the guy on board then asks: Are we too close? we replied, "oh no you're fine--got any beer" and then looked at each other. Now whenever we have both our boats out on the same lake and we see the other one, we pull up, gently run into the other's boat and then ask: Am I too close?
What's too close for you when it comes to crappie?

'"It's going to make us make a decision," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "He's available to play. The thing I'm unsure (of) first of all, is the fact that he hasn't played all year. You can look good in practice, you could look good in one-on-one and two-on-two drills, but playing a game's a whole different story. We'll just go day-to-day with it."'

The Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams were presented the College Swimming Coaches of America Association (CSCAA) Team Scholar All-America Award for the spring 2013 semester, the organization announced today.
This marks the fifth consecutive year that the programs received this accolade, which is given to teams who achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
The men's team posted a 3.14 grade point average, which placed them in the top-25 in the nation as the Golden Griffins tied Loyola (MD), Notre Dame and Ohio State for 24th place. The women's squad recorded its second highest GPA since 2012 with a 3.29 GPA.
The program is coming off a very successful season in both the pool and classroom. The team had a conference-leading 21 student-athletes named to the MAAC All-Academic team – the most in program history. The women had nine honorees, while the men's squad had 12. The team's both finished third at the 2013 Swimming and Diving MAAC Championships in February.

30th Birthday: Afternoon Tea
We ended up at Lady Mendl's for tea. Thanks to reader Erin Wigger for the suggestion! It was the best way to end my date with Ella.
1. Ella's choice: sitting on the couches next to the fire place (in picture above). The huge candles, the beautiful china. It was warm and inviting without being fussy.
2. Ella kept finding excuses to say "Cheers!"
3. Everyone in the restaurant was seated at 5pm. We all got served dinner at the same time with the same food. There was no menu, just a tea menu. I was so proud of Ella for eating all the grown up food they prepared for us! We cheered to that.
4. As the night wore on, Ella sat next to me on my couch. She was cuddly and tired. We cheered to that.
5. When the dinner service was over, we lingered in the intimate reception area (pictured below). We didn't want the night to end. We sat in the chairs and looked through books. It was as if we had escaped to a different time period. Everything about Lady Mendl's was effortless.
I didn't take a lot pictures of my birthday. I thought I would, but I was pleasently surprised that I somehow turned off the blog switch for the day. All photos from lady mendl's site.

What a fantastic birthday. Thanks for sharing it with us!ReplyDelete
We used to bring my 90-something year old Aunt out for tea on her birthday each year. It was always do delightful and was a great tradition. We meant to continue it after she passed, but maybe it's my new tradition? Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Aww, I'm so glad you guys liked it! It really is dreamy!ReplyDelete
Sharon, can I please borrow from you this wonderful idea? I would love to celebrate with my daughter like that, on my 30th birthday she'll be 3. Could it work out, or too young for her age? Another option would be to celebrate my name days just we two together, in Latvia, where I live, we celebrate Name days and mine is already on December 4!ReplyDelete
looks like a perfect day with your daughter.ReplyDelete

text: Brian, ha, great information, I am listening. I know what you mean about a beat up looking chicken. When we had Antonio and Roquefort, they both seemed to really like this one particular gal. I felt so sorry for her, and never thought about removing her to let her feathers grow back. It was summertime when I noticed her with so many feathers missing, noticed that she was as happy as all the other girls, so just thought it was the hens picking on her. In retrospect, I think it was the boys picking on her.Now, this is important to me. Can you tell me why the roosters pick a certain couple of hens that they like so much better. I need a scientific answer (smiling, not just mambo jambo). I would really like to know why certain hens are desired. It really makes not much sense to me, but then I am not a chicken.....smiling. Have that most wonderful, beautifully awesome life, day, love our lives, health. Cindi

CrimeCraft is a unique forerunner into a genre dominated by fantasy and sci-fi themes as it transports gamers into a lawless city filled with gangs, crime and street-style justice.
"For us, the amazing social component inherent in MMO games is really the lynchpin in diversifying the content and overall consumer experience," says Matt, McEnerney, Executive Producer at Vogster. "For CrimeCraft, we wanted to enhance those unifying connections players enjoy, yet do so with content that was a little more realistic and forward-reaching than the majority of fantasy content currently available."

Guidelines on Implementing Occupational Safety and Health Program
The UNC Policy Manual
Adopted 03/20/74
Guidelines on Implementing Occupational Safety and Health Program
Congress enacted the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 91 P.L. 596. The object of this legislation is to assure, so far as possible, safe and healthful working conditions for every working man and woman in the nation. In 1973, the General Assembly passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina (N.C.G.S. §§ 95-126 through 95-155). This act assigns the responsibility for administration of the State-wide Occupational Safety and Health Program to the North Carolina Department of Labor. Section 23 of this act outlines the responsibilities of public agencies. The attached Occupational Safety and Health Plan for The University of North Carolina has been provided the Department of Labor and is intended to assist the constituent institutions in establishing a campus-wide program in conformance with the act.
The University Property Officer is designated as the University of North Carolina Safety and Health Officer. The safety and health officer will maintain close liaison with the Department of Labor and will be available to the campuses for consultation.
[This is a rewrite of Administrative Memorandum #30.]
The University of North Carolina
Occupational Safety and Health Plan
1. Purpose:
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for the establishment of a comprehensive safety and health program on each campus of the University in accordance with 91 P.L. 596 and North Carolina General Statutes §§ 95-126 through 95-155.
2. Objectives:
The objectives of the safety and health program include the following:
a. To provide safe and healthful working conditions for all persons directly or indirectly, full-time or part-time, employed by the University.
b. To identify and correct as early as possible any and all unsafe or hazardous conditions on the campus.
c. To provide, or make available at minimal cost as applicable, such personal equipment or devices as may be found necessary for protection of employees in their operations.
d. To establish and maintain an environment conducive to the prevention of illness or injury of all persons.
e. To plan, establish and conduct such educational programs as are deemed advisable to keep employees actively conscious of safety in all operations, on and off the job.
f. To provide for first aid, by training and equipment, in event of accident, with a view to minimizing effects of any injury.
g. To make all employees aware of OSHA provisions, and encourage their participation.
3. Responsibility:
For purposes of the safety and health program, each campus is a public agency. The chancellor, as chief executive, is responsible for implementation of the program.
4. Role of North Carolina Department of Labor:
The North Carolina Department of Labor is responsible for administration of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina (OSHA NC). Under the conditions of 91 P.L. 596, State administration of the act will be monitored by federal agencies for at least three years from passage of the State act. Provisions and standards for the State program are identical in most respects to the federal program, except that administration is at State level. The State program is self-inspecting with respect to public agencies. However, the State Department of Labor will provide advice and counsel, certain printed forms and materials, and inspection assistance as may be required. Reports required shall be submitted by the chancellor to the North Carolina Department of Labor.
5. Personnel Involvement:
In order to achieve successful results, the program must involve persons at a wide variety of administrative levels. Management belief in and support of the program is the primary requisite. Participation and cooperation of all employees shall be actively encouraged.
6. Recommended Organization:
a. Safety and Health Coordinator:
One person shall be designated for this position, responsible to the chancellor within a defined administrative framework. Qualifications for the position should include knowledge and experience in engineering, in building design and construction, in shop and safety practices, in administration, and in interpretation of building codes and standards. On smaller campuses this could be a part-time responsibility shared with campus engineering. On larger campuses a full-time position will be required, and further staffing will be necessary as conditions may dictate.
Other specialized safety areas, such as radiation safety, requiring special talents, may be parallel in technical authority for a particular area, but such activities should be responsible to the chancellor through the safety and health coordinator.
The safety and health coordinator shall maintain close liaison with the North Carolina Department of Labor, and shall prepare such reports and maintain such records as required by that department of the chancellor.
A principal responsibility of the safety and health coordinator shall be the preparation of a campus safety and health plan in accordance with standards and requirements of the Department of Labor. The plan shall be completed as soon as practicable and a copy provided the president by the chancellor.
All safety and health program records shall be open for inspection at any time by the North Carolina Department of Labor and by the University safety and health officer.
b. Safety and Health Advisory Committee:
A broadly representative safety and health advisory committee should be appointed. This committee should have duties as follows:
(1) To serve as liaison between the safety and health coordinator and campus employees.
(2) To assist the safety and health coordinator by
(a) recognizing and reporting deficiencies needing attention,
(b) assisting in promotion of safety and health practices education,
(c) assisting the safety and health coordinator in investigation of any accident, incident or unsafe condition,
(d) and by such other means as requested by the safety and health coordinator.
7. Reference Material:
The following reference material is available through the North Carolina Department of Labor:
a. Occupational Safety and Health Programs for State Agencies, North Carolina Department of Labor.
b. Recordkeeping Requirements for OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor.
c. General Industry Guide for Applying Safety and Health Standards, U. S. Department of Labor.
8. Funding:
A request for funding for staff should be included in campus operating budget requests. Capital improvement funding should be included in campus capital improvement budget requests.

DURHAM, N.C. --- Jamison Crowder scored with 13 seconds remaining and Duke defeated North Carolina, 33-30, for its first victory in the series since 2003 and just its second since 1991.
Carolina rallied from a 23-9 deficit to lead 30-26 on Giovani Bernard's fumble recovery touchdown with just 3:12 to play, but Duke drove 87 yards on 14 plays for the game-winning score.
Bernard passed the 2,000-yard mark in career rushing in just his 19th career game with 143 yards on 24 carries, but the Tar Heels fell to 5-3, 2-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
Sean Renfree finished 23 of 36 for 276 yards and three Blue Devil backs, led by Josh Snead with 99, rushed for at least 50 yards.
Casey Barth's 30-yard field goal capped a 10-play, 60-yard drive to open the scoring, but Duke (6-2, 3-1 ACC) answered with a quick touchdown and led until Bernard's unlikely late score.
Carolina moved the ball with relative ease on the opening drive, highlighted by a 39-yard catch-and-run by Bernard on a pass from Marquise Williams. But the drive stalled in the red zone and Barth came on for the first of his three field goals to make it 3-0.
The Tar Heels appeared to have the ball back after a Darien Rankin interception on the ensuing Duke possession, but Kevin Reddick was flagged for roughing the passer to continue the drive. Renfree hit Conner Vernon to get the ball inside the Carolina 20, and Anthony Boone punched it in from two yards out to give the Blue Devils a 7-3 advantage.
The two teams traded field goals for most of the rest of the half before Jela Duncan's 2-yard scoring run gave Duke its biggest lead of the game at 20-6 with 4:25 remaining in the second.
Barth and Martin each made a third field goal to make it 23-9 entering the final quarter, and Carolina got a key defensive stop on the first play of the fourth. On 4th-and-1 at the Duke 48, Sylvester Williams stuffed Walt Canty on a keeper play to give the Tar Heels great field position.
And UNC would capitalize almost immediately thanks to a key fourth down conversion. On 4th-and-6 at the Duke 43, Renner hit Eric Ebron over the middle for 34 yards to put Carolina back in the red zone. Three Bernard carries later, the Tar Heels were back within a touchdown at 23-16.
Martin's fourth field goal of the game made it 26-16 with 9:22 remaining but Carolina scored on its next two possessions to set up a wild finish.
Bryn Renner, who finished 19 of 32 with 198 yards and two touchdowns, capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive with a 5-yard scoring strike to Sean Tapley to make it 26-23 with 6:28 to play. Carolina forced a quick three-and-out and took over at its own 9 with under five minutes remaining.
After first-down completions to Tapley and Ebron got the Tar Heels to their 40, Renner hit Erik Highsmith over the middle for a big gainer. Highsmith was stripped of the ball by Jordon Byas at the Duke 24, but Bernard outmuscled Canty for the ball and took it into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.
But with 3:12 remaining, Renfree led Duke on a final scoring drive that culminated in the touchdown pass to Crowder. Vernon had catches of 29 and 15 yards on the drive and finished with six receptions for 124 yards on the night.
Bernard finished with 209 all-purpose yards and passed Curtis Johnson (1,999) and Ken Willard (1,949) for 11th place on the UNC career rushing chart. His two touchdowns give him 12 for the season and 26 for his career.

I was looking for an alternative to power my brand new Zotac A-U board. Mp3car.com gladly sent me the device in exchange for a review. so here it is.
The device: The Intelligent DC-DC converter with USB interface by mini-box.com is a buck/boost converter/regulator that can be used for a wide variety of application, it can be used to power any device that needs 6-24VDC, and the input range can be anything from 6VDC to 34VDC. The device can also send ON/OFF signals to motherboards based on IGN or ACC voltages.
See this product on the mp3Car Store HERE.
The box: UPS brought me a box that weight a little more than air itself, i was wondering if there is actually anything inside. before filing the claim that somebody stole the device out of the box i decided to open it anyway (; there it was, a small green board with a few short cables and a little bag with a few tiny jumpers. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and test the &*%$ out of it, but to my surprise there was no manual, no CD, no USB cable. i found a very basic manual on the mini-box.com site and the journey began.
The work: Without the availability of the USB cable and lack of software, i went ahead configuring the device to my needs with a basic manual and a few jumpers. I need 19VDC to power my Zotac A-U mobo, the device CAN produce this voltage but with the USB software, i set the device to output the nearest voltage that can be set with jumpers which is 18VDC, the multimeter shows 18.24VDC i then set the device to operate as a regular converter/inverter and connected it to my mobo. pushed the power button, the fan started to spin, and the mobo seems to run just fine. +/-1VDC inst crucial for this mobo. i then tested the output voltage range of this device and the device does what it is suppose to do. no matter of the input (as long as its within range) the output voltage will be what it is set to be. then i set it to automotive mode which adds timing options along with ON/OFF pulses to the mobo. i set the timing to send off pulse to the mobo as soon as ACC is off and completely turn off the device after a minute - it did just that. my Zotac now powers on and off automatically. because of the wide input range the device has absolutely no problems surviving engine crank. however once the device starts the timer, it cannot be interrupted, meaning that if i shut off ACC the timer will start and will count a minute, in this time frame if i turn the ACC back on the device will not power up the mobo, nor send on/off signals. but if i leave the ACC on until the timer finished it will power up the board and send ON signal. temperature wise this device does just well, it get a bit warm when powered for a long time, but absolutely nothing to worry about and nothing that will require additional cooling. in my setup the device does exactly what it is described to do.
The good: The device can be used for a wide variety of applications, it is very accurate, small profile, easy to setup,survives engine crank, appears to be reliable (i used it a few days already and it powers up and shuts down every time without problems) and the price is right.
The bad: I am not sure how it is shipped from mini-box.com but the device should most defiantly come with advanced documentation or at least some documentation. even though most of us SHOULD have the proper USB cabe, it should be included in the package, the configuration software should also come with the device or at least be available for easy download. otherwise more configuration options should be available on the device itself. mini-box.com use jumpers that are smaller then the regular computer jumpers, i don't see a reason for this, should just use regular jumpers.
The truth: All in all the device is great, does what you configure it to do and does it well. for this price ($59+shipping) you cant go wrong with it. though with more documentation, software and USB cable the package would be complete.
The rest: (from mini-box.com) - Applications: powering motherboard with single rail power from any voltage to any voltage, laptops, custom electronics. This module can be used to convert any voltage ranging 6-34V to any output from 5-24V. The DCDC-USB has 4 models of operation: - Dumb mode: Acts as a regular DC-DC converter with wide input (6-34V) and produces a fixed 12V output (or any output from 6-24V) - Automotive mode: Acts as an intelligent PSU, ignition aware, will send ON/OFF pulse to the motherboard to turn ON/OFF. Standby power consumption is well under 1mA. - UPS mode: The unit will act as an intelligent UPS unit, will shut down at prescribed battery voltages. - Script mode: Unit can be programmed to wake up, sleep, based on pre-programmed scripts. Additional features of DCDC-USB: - Remote ON/OFF switch capable of switching up to 6A, 8A peak. - Can control motherboard ON/OFF pins - Fused input, TVS protected - USB mini, type B - All Solid Polymer Capacitors, SVPD series, Sanyo, Japan.

Kids Coop to bring 'Annie' to Londonderry stage
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | October 20. 2013 8:37PM
Samantha Honeywell, Emily Thomas and Daniel Cain, all of Londonderry, will star as Grace, Annie and Daddy Warbucks, respectively, in the Kids Coop Theatre's upcoming production of "Annie." (COURTESY)
On Nov. 8 and 9, members of the Kids Coop Theatre will perform the musical "Annie" at the Adams Memorial Opera House in Derry.
MiniMe, a poodle mix owned by Massachusetts residents Bob and Kathleen Sachs, was adopted from the Nevins Farm MSPCA two years ago and will star as Annie's four-footed friend, Sandy, in the upcoming production.
Ten-year-old Londonderry resident Emily Thomas said she was beyond excited to have earned the starring role.
Rehearsals have been challenging, but fortunately they have been spent among good friends. Many members of the Kids Coop are veteran performers who have starred together in dozens of area productions over the years.
Making her choreographing debut is Megan Reid, a 17-year old junior at Londonderry High School.
Another veteran Kids Coop member, Mackenzie Ozaroff, will play the role of crabby Ms. Hannigan. This show will be Ozaroff's fifth show with the Kids Coop.
Danielle Kuhl, 15, of Hampstead will portray the character of Lily, a wisecracking villainess, in her debut Kids Coop performance.
"Annie" will be performed Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 9 at 1 and 7 p.m. at the Derry Opera House, 29 West Broadway, Derry, NH. All tickets are $12 and are available at www.kids-coop-theatre.org.

Hi there!
I'm learning to become a teacher in English. I would like to ask you (if you are a teacher) a few questions concerning lesson preparation. I would be very grateful if you would take some time to answer these questions.
How do you prepare your lessons?
How much time do you invest in it?
How much of the preparation do you put on paper?
Do you use lesson plan forms?
What is your opinion on lesson preparation?
Will preparation become different once one becomes experienced? (What's your opinion, or experience?)
Can you offer me a few do's and don'ts?
Thanks a lot!!!

text: Does anyone know were I can get 1mm tinted acrylic sheet to use for a t-visor? The same material in the picture. I would buy it from the same dealer on the picture but he's based in Argentina and it won't make in time here for Halloween. I can't use the t-visor from t-visor.com cause it's too thick. The bucket I'm working on is a thin plastic so I need a thin material for the t-visor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

"I ordered these for my daughter to give to her friends. They are adorable and the perfect size. I like that they don't have a "to:" line, so she can pass them out without having to fill in specific names first. One will make a cute keepsake for me too."
"I was very impressed with the quality of this card. My son was so excited to have his picture and name on the card. He is really looking forward to giving these out on Valentine's Day."
"I ordered these cards for my son for Valentine's Day to hand out with some sweet treats. The quality is outstanding! The Card is just adorable!! I let him choose the picture and design, we had a blast putting it together. The size is small, so it can't be mailed, but otherwise, perfect for its purpose!"
"I got these cards for my 2-year old son to pass out to his pre-school class and teachers and family members. They are beautifully printed on soft thick paper. I love the size, they are pretty small, but come with their own tiny envelopes! Very happy with my purchase."
"This is an adorable and different valentine card for little girls..not your run-of-the-mill card..My daughter Loves it!!"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Irelands child
Your info shows that you are from Mass. It's a rust belt state!!! The Mass Tpk as well as Interstates 95. 295 and 495 turn WHITE after a single snowflake has fallen. The non-interstate highways and roads are worse - plus it is always there 24/7/365 embedded in the road materials. You have seen, as noted earlier, the tip of the iceberg with other places on that car starting to succumb to rot. If you really like the car, want to keep it for years, then it needs to have a full, including the undersides, checked for advanced rot. Then decide if it's worth a full rehab or, just go enjoy yourself with a fun car.
To respond to your original question - ANY rattle can silver will never be a good choice. The original has faded, the shiny new paint will stick out like that proverbial sore thumb and even worse the the rusty spots. Then to make it even worse, the European paints have been attacked by the ecology people in CE and the European Union - and is IMHO, a 'poor' paint to begin with.
Kaw ,That aint so bad and your on the right track dont worry about blending the paint....pinstripe it and get some chroma base or some other good paint if you can afford it (better color match) If not,Omini PLUS (PPG) is pretty good with a match and its about 30-40.00 a quart for silver(waaaaay cheaper than chroma base)... maybe a pint of paint and some reducer .and a quart of clear maybe some omini Quick clear with a fast hardner at 50.00 (drys fast ,less trash) if you've painted before and have a gun you must have a compressor so your way ahead of a first timer that thinks everything is easy and we just rip people off ...
I use Oshho to remove rust its much better than rust mort and costs about 15-20.00 a quart and you wont even use an 1/8th of of it...
I think he should be encouraged to try the repair. If it isn't as good as most of you can do it, he can try again.
The value of a 2003 in my area........perfect to learn on.
Rule # 2....the cost ..
..If your doing this because you love that dang car NEVER include ANY of the hours of labor it takes in the total cost of completion....and whatever you figure the parts and materials will be......triple it .you'll be pretty close (if you do your homework)..AND...have a secret hotrod accont your wife dosent know about .and when your she asks how much you spent on that part that came UPS deduct 2/3's and be prepared for the fallout....
If its her car and shes all in dont worry about it but women like that and ones that actually help are an urban legon as far as I know...
Secret Hotrod account ,thats the ticket...
Oops, I said some more didn't I.
Well my point is, I WILL take some short cuts, this wouldn't be one. Not because I wouldn't fill that rust with bondo, but because it wouldn't last so I would be wasting my time. I WILL take a short cut, if it doesn't look that great, that is my business, you know what I mean? If I want to look at a big brush touched chip in the door of my car instead of fixing it right that is up to me, it's my car. But I wouldn't take the time to fill the rust in the door of my car with bondo and paint it because it would be wasted time, it would fail way too soon for my liking. If it would last years, I may just think about it, but by the odds it wouldn't, it wouldn't last but a few months before it started failing. That is simply not a good enough end result for my hard work be it a short cut or not. I have done some awful funky stuff on my own cars, if nothing else as a test bed.
Heck, in my Rambler it had a floor on the drivers side that looked like a sieve. A large area under the clutch and brake pedals was pretty funky like a friggin window screen. I sand blasted it, epoxy primed it with a brush and covered it with fiberglass cloth and resin then epoxy primed over that. That was certainly hack compared to the right way, but I figured in this old car (not like it's a show car) AND as a little test bed (and I am keeping an eye on it) I figured what the heck, I wouldn't have to mask the inside for painting, I wouldn't have to worry about welding in there with all the upholstery and carpet. I did a heck of a short cut, but with the educated guesstimate that it would last a long time and I still believe it will.
So there are times when you can do a quickie, it CAN work out well. I just don't think the benefits will out weigh the work, time and money to do this Saab anywhere less than right. And the thing about this is, I am not even sure it's worth it to do it right! If the whole car is full of rust, drive it and enjoy it and forgetaboutit.
|Brian, I'm sure your short cuts wouldn't have you bondo ing over rust. I guess unless your customer wanted it. That's my point. You (and me for that matter) will do things the right way, or we usually won't do it. Just pointing out that he CAN do that if he wants, then paint and blend. It wasn't meant as an insult. I know you always give great advice, even to me ")
"Do it right or go home", that is most certainly not this pro! I can take short cuts with the best of them, as well as do main arena prestigious car show kinda work. My concern here is the old question "To what end". What are the odds of success? Be it me, or someone who has never touched a piece of sand paper in their life, often those odds are the same in the end.
I am all for doing anything you want to dive into this incredible hobby or industry. I have spent a ton of my own time writing articles and answering questions because I REALLY want to help those who are just dabbling in this work to do better, to demystify, to help in anyway to get some guy who has never done it to do it and be proud. I am all for that, in a big way. But I also have to do my warnings so as those same people don't bite off their tongue in the process.
This is just one of those warnings. That is all I will say on the subject.
Listen man,
These gents are pros in the body shop dept. Don't take their harsh words too hard..... They are like alot of professionals- do it right or go home.
With that being said, I think you could do a decent patch/hack job of that rear panel, considering that you are doing just that. Considering you don't care the rust is there, and you just want it covered, it can be done fairly easy. It may or may not come out good, but you know that going in. I personally don't like patching over rust because it comes back up. The problem doesn't go away. You can't try to stop the rust, but that will depend on you.
A harbor freight HVLP will work fine. Not the best gun in the world, but folks use them all the time and get good results. You said you painted a couple cars before...
It is possible to blend a very small area. Hard, but possible. If you're gonna try, have your paint store match the color. Then try and blend color out on a body curve or edge. And reduce color each time you go out.
I have a different look at things, make repairs where the odds of it being repaired is better than what you have, this is not the case. If you were a pro and could wham bam done kick it's butt, it may make sense but to try your first hand at blending and such, it won't look any better than it does now, only "different". That's what I always will tell customers who want to patch something or brush touch or something like that. It will simply look "different", not "gone". It may be a better "different" but it will NOT be fixed, and invisible.
If this car was from my area in sunny California there is a remote chance that the rust is localized to this area. Just the fact that it is over the whole wheel well pretty much blows that idea. This car has lived somewhere that rust is the norm, not the exception like here. My family's last "family truckster" (96 Windstar) had rust under it like this, severe surface rusted suspension components, rust at the pinch welds, that sort of thing. It was not from around here, that was clear. I got it for a good price and drove it just about 85K miles going to 29 of the states in these United States of America. It worked just fine never having touched that rust. COULD I have "repaired" it all, I guess so but the odds were that it wouldn't make one ant hill of difference so I chose to leave it and saved myself a lot of work and money and simply enjoyed the van.
The rust I am seeing on the Saab is pretty clearly just the tip of the iceburg. Right now you have color that matches, and a wife that doesn't see the flaw.
You try to learn on this car, you are in for some heartache. The learning curve on this one is steep, it isn't a little door ding in the middle of a panel, this baby is a toughie. Like I said, this rust is coming from the inside out, do we think for some reason this is the only rust on the car? Nope, if you don't see it, it IS under every panel on the car working on breaking thru just as this area did. So why fix this when first, it WILL fail very quickly being you aren't going to repair it right by replacing all that rusted metal, and two because it WILL be rusting thru somewhere else in the future, to what end is the question, a full ground up restoration?
The rust won't be "Gone" it will be hidden for a while is all you get from all your hard work. I am sorry, I have been in this business decades and in those decades I have learned that not every repair is worth it there are times when it is simply BEST to leave it. This APPEARS from what I see in these two photos not worth it. If this is very localized and there is no other rust on the car after a thorough inspection of the car then sure it would be a good idea maybe to fix it, but I don't believe this will be the case.
Take charge, start your leaning curve, try it now. It isn't as difficult as you think. Use what you have.
It will look better than when you started; the rust is gone.
If you keep this car, you may eventually want to repaint the entire car.
Ok, here is the cold hard facts for you from the mind of MARTINSR.
That rust is the tip of the iceburg and will require MUCH more than "store made spray paint" to fix. The magic words are "My wife doesn't even see it", let her drive the car with a smile on her face and forget about it. Not unless you want a major project that is going to require proper tools and time to do it right.
You want to think about doing this thing right, the first thing you need to do is get the car up in the air and look at the pinch welds around both wheel arches and the bottoms of the quarters and rockers. The rockers will likely be hidden by mouldings. But get a good look around and see if this is the ONLY rust like that on the car, my bet is it isn't. If you find this stuff all over, for goodness sakes forget about it! Let her drive it with a smile on her face and forget about it!
I wouldnt necessarly consider myself a "cheapass".
It is our fouth car and as I mentioned in the first post, it is a summer toy.
I have the tools (although my paint gun is from HF) and a little experience but i know my limitations. Fading in silver is more than likely beyond my expertise.
If i could get a paint match out if a can it would remove a lot of variables. Thats what i was questioning.
We still have room in the budget to have it repaired but i was hoping to have it done for $500 to $1000.
.lets say your a talented and handy kind of guy that enjoys this kind of work and just have a lack of funds...Not just a cheepass that has no respect for anyones work but the work YOU do (like a politition) and you want to learn something..there IS a way you can do it ,it wont be very good but at least the color will be a closer match....You can go to an auto paint store with your paint code and have them mix some proper paint for you ...To apply the paint there are Co2 paint guns for touch up ,you put the paint in the bottom and like a rattle can push the top, it wont do a great job but it
ll be the best way to do it without a compressor and a paint gun....at the top of the 1/4 put a pinstripe and paint up to it so you dont have to blend the paint....
Do your wife a favor LEAVE IT ALONE or break down and pay someone to do it right , OR buy some ( entry level ) equipment and enjoy this as a hobby and screw around with your own car.
A quart of paint even the cheapest low end auto paint will cost 50.00 ... you can get an entry level compressor and a paint gun new for about 200.00 at one of these chinese stores.it wont be a good one and it wont last long but it'll get the job done....
A 1000 - 1500.00 is cheap though at a body shop it takes a lot of talent even to get a passable job ...At my shop it would be a min. of 3500.00 for two 1/4s...If your too cheep or cant afford to spend a little on making your wife happy....You can always bring it to Maaco...at least they can do it for the price of the tools and materials you would spend and if they screw it up at least they'll screw it up FAST and she wont be driving around in rattle can primer spots for the rest of the cars shortend life....
This site is where Hot rodders and hobbiests (even pros) come to learn and better their talents and meet other guys with like intrests and the mere mention of rattle can work is disrespectful and has no place here ......
lesson #1
Now,If you have a genuine intrest in the work we'll help you all we can to do a fairly decent DIY job but first you have to have some tools not just an orbital sander and a drill......lesson #2
RULE # 1 Buying a car....
You find a car that you like the looks of but it needs some work..First,get a pro to look at it and give an estimate of what it would cost to do the repairs...Take the price of the car add the repairs to the cost then look up the value of the car...If the total exceeds the value dont buy it...I (try) only buy cars that are worth double what the repaired total costs are... Theres no sence wasting all that money and time on something with no return,even if you love doing the work...
Class dismissed.....dont forget to do your homework...

Tara & Kale
August 1
Oahu, Hawaii
Q & A with the Bride & Groom:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The spectacular view.
2. Which four details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. The place settings with the personalized favors and single orchid — we actually had people taking more than one favor.
2. The giant lawn games for the reception — it was very relaxed atmosphere, and we were able to spend a little time with everyone.
3. Flower mob — we had 9 kids throwing flowers instead of 1 or 2.
4. Shaved ice instead of wedding cake – since most of our guests were not from Hawaii, it was a treat that you cannot get every day. Loved the fresh, tropical flavors!
4. Give us the one moment in your wedding you can't stop thinking about.
The first look, the moment that we first saw each other on the day. Tara was so beautiful, and exiting the ceremony after our kiss. We were so excited, we starting skipping and jumping.

some photos might help---
Last night I attempted to install my new CTR stock on my Stag lower. I checked to make sure (website and measuring) that I order the correct milspec CTR stock for my Stag milspec BT. Well, I was so excited to install the CTR stock that I did not read the instructions about pulling down the metal posts on each side of the locking pin in order to install the CTR stock.
I got the stock about 1/4 of the way on the buffer tube and now it's stuck.
I have since tried to pull down themetal posts on each side of the locking pin, and I'm able to do so, but the stock is not budging.
Could you guys provide me with some assistance?
some photos might help---
Inspection FAIL on my part. Sure enough, I have a commercial tube. It was on too tight, but I was able to get it off. So, on that note.....would anyone like to purchase a fully functional CTR milspec stock?
I posted the stock on GB. I may just buy the commercial version.
Can a commercial buffer tube simply be swapped for a milspec or vice versa? Isn't the threading different?
Johnny5.56. The tubes are basically the same except the comercial have a slightly larger diameter and the transition to the locking rail is slightly rounded verses the sharp transition on the mil spec tube. Also the Mil spec tube should have lathe cut threads verses the cheaper roll cut threads on comercial tubes. The tubes have the same threads though and it would probably be cheaper to just get yourself a mil spec tube and replace your comercial one.
Thanks. Do you guys recommend using Loctite and/or staking the castle nut?
Any decent mil spec sized tube should work. The buffer and spring are the same. I use medium locktite and haven't had the need to stake one yet.
if i was going back into the kitty-litter box i would likely stake mine.
but here in the real world a little locktight is enough. sooner or later your gonna want to change something and staking makes that a PITA.

On Hardball, Ketchum executive falsely defended Bush's Social Security plan
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On the February 24 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, former Representative Susan Molinari (R-NY), president of the public affairs unit of public relations firm Ketchum Inc., falsely asserted that President Bush's plan to allow workers to divert payroll taxes from Social Security into private accounts "doesn't change anything for people in terms of that [benefit] guarantee from today. If anything, it strengthens it for younger people." Molinari also erroneously suggested that, for those who opt not to adopt private accounts, Bush's plan will not "change the way you currently participate in Social Security." In fact, under the model that is widely expected (see here, here, here, and here) to form the basis of the reform plan Bush will propose, beneficiaries will face substantial cuts in guaranteed benefits compared to what current law promises, and those who choose to set up private accounts will face additional cuts in guaranteed benefits beyond that.
As Media Matters for America has noted, "Model 2" from Bush's 2001 Commission to Strengthen Social Security calls for a reduction in benefits for all future beneficiaries. Initial benefit levels would be set according to the rate of inflation, instead of the rate of wage growth during a worker's lifetime (as it is now), which would result in lower benefits than promised under current law. More recently, a leaked memo about Bush's plans for Social Security from Peter H. Wehner, head of the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives, also endorsed this concept.
Further, the Bush administration has explained that those who opt for private accounts will face additional cuts. The Washington Post reported on February 4: "The White House offered further explanation of President Bush's Social Security proposal yesterday, detailing how contributions to new personal investment accounts would be offset by dollar-for-dollar reductions in Social Security's guaranteed benefits."
And while Molinari's suggested that Bush's plan will "strengthen" Social Security for younger workers, private accounts would result in increased financial risk to individuals by shifting money out of Social Security and into the stock market. As the Post noted, if the money in an individual's private account earned less than 3 percent above the rate of inflation, the worker would receive less than he or she would have if all their payroll taxes remained within the system.
Molinari's employer, Ketchum, hired syndicated TV and radio host Armstrong Williams to promote the No Child Left Behind bill for the U.S. Department of Education. Williams did not disclose his $240,000 deal with the Bush administration on his television and radio programs. As The New York Times reported on February 19, "Ketchum has received $97 million in government public relations contracts since 2001 [when Bush took office]."
From the February 24 edition of MSNBC's Hardball:
CHRIS MATTHEWS (host): We got a poll here, an NBC poll last week that came out, that nobody has paid much attention to. It says that by 2 to 1, the American people are more insistent on the guaranteed part of Social Security, the insurance part, we're going to get the money, than they are on this option of going to a personal account.
MOLINARI: Sure, I actually think that the reverend [fellow Hardball guest Reverend Al Sharpton] is right, that that is what the people are concerned about right now. I think the Republicans have failed to answer that question as articulately as they can, it's the plan that has taken place, but I think it is something they will overcome. But it has definitely put members of congress at a disadvantage as they go home and try to sell the personal savings account while they are failing to give people the kind of comfort and confidence that they should have, because the Bush plan does guarantee that. It doesn't change anything for people in terms of that guarantee from today. If anything, it strengthens it for younger people.
MOLINARI: Nobody is going to force you to take up a personal savings account and change the way you currently participate in Social Security.

Greetings from the land down under!
Moving to Hong Kong, where i plan on teaching English at first and attending part time university. My main question is i have an impressive background yet no bachelors degree, can i find work teaching English in HK? My secondary question what university has the best reputation for economics/commerce/finance degree. Last and not least how can i gain permanent residency in HK. Need your insight please help! This is my story..
I am 24 years of age live in Queensland, Australia and have spent the last six years working for the same financial institution in Australia. I have numerous high school and academic co-curricular achievements, such as, high OP rating, first place for debating at GPS level (Maughn House Prize), Gold Coast Junior City Councilor, Student Representative Councilor, Global Young Leaders Conference USA, Round Square Representative and was even a House Captain and prefect.
I also have various certificates etc from working such as Cert 4 in finance, MFAA & FBAA membership, Accredited Mortgage Consultant and Cert 4 in IT. When it comes to my work i am extremely dedicated and put in long hours and also run several of my own business ventures from home. Some would say i am a work-a-holic.
I have consistently worked my way up through the ranks and have gained management status within my company. Somehow i was able to maintain employment throughout the financial crisis here in Australia. Recently my employer presented me with a three year contract to continue working, unfortunately for them i have out grown the company and wish to broaden my horizons and obtain a university degree. Furthermore i have spent the last ten years of my life working on several businesses of my own.
HK is the perfect place for me for to keep learning and growing. However lucrative my contract offer is i just cannot accept plateauing for the next 3-5 years. Therefore i have decided i would prefer to make significantly less money, initially, and have the chance to learn Chinese and make it big in HK either working my way up the corporate ladder or risking most my money on a new business venture in HK within the finance sector. My logic behind this is that while I am young I need to take high risks in life and really throw myself in the deep end, while i still have time to correct my mistakes.
I have read heaps about TEFL and TESOL certs and will be obtaining one shortly another attempt to better my chances in finding employment. In an attempt to get a head start i have started learning Mandarin with a personal instructor. As you can see i am dedicated and want to reside in HK although would prefer to study in HK and not here at home, i wish to meet people, network and learn Mandarin/Cantonese.
Please any feedback would be great!!!

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
One time I tore 2 Detroit Diesels apart, One with a cracked block but a good crank and pistons/liners, the other was shot but had a good block. The idea was to make one good engine. With all this stuff laying around, do you think I could find enough hardware to put ONE of them back together? Hell no...
|Other general advice- you'll have to remove the accessories in order to get the engine out of the car. When you remove a bracket- like the alternator bracket for example- put the bolts back in the engine in their proper place as soon as you remove the bracket. It seems like it would be a pain to be partially re-assembling the engine as you remove parts- but it will save you from heartache during the install when you can't remember which bolt went where. Use a digital camera to help your memory if you have one handy- especially with the wiring harness and vacuum hose routing. It's really not as complicated as you might think, but regardless of how intelligent you think you are- pretend you're completely stupid and can't remember anything and arrange your work around that idea. It will save you tons of pain and suffering- and like writing a list you end up not having to look at, it's something you won't appreciate until you don't do it.
You'll have to call around. Prices are different in different locations. Here in Memphis we have a junkyard that specializes in late model Fords. They sell 4 cyl motors for $400. That's the average price at most places here.
What I'd be asking about is how many miles were on the car, can you hear it run, and what else comes with the engine. A lot of junkyards will give you late model engines with the ECU and wiring harness. This prevents any problems that could arise. Not all do it, and if you get enough of a discount without it, I wouldn't worry about it. It is nice though. Removing the wiring harness isn't something that I'd necessarily take the time to do unless the harness in the car was damaged or repaired previously.
Also, ask about warranty. Most good yards will give you a 30 day warranty, which simply gives you enough time to install the motor and get it running. I'd also have money on hand for an oil change. I generally replace the rear seal in junkyard motor installs if the mileage on the motor is high enough or if the seal on the yard motor is leaking. It's about the only thing on an SPI that wouldn't be accessible with the engine in the car. Depending on the mileage and your pocket book there are a few other considerations like the timing belt which is MUCH easier to replace with the engine out of the car. I wouldn't worry about that unless the engine you're installing has more than 80k miles and the belt appears to be original or damaged.
Also, check everything that you can check in your own engine compartment when you remove your old engine- like vacuum hoses- to be sure that you're not going to install a good motor in a car that won't run right because of parts outside the motor.
To get it running, don't worry about replacing spark plugs- just remove the ones from your engine and the yard engine, clean with a knife or wire brush, and install the best looking 4. Check gap of course. You'll also want to keep all the expensive parts you can keep from your motor- like the fuel injectors.
What is a good price for a new 2.0L SOHO SPI engine?
Is there any recommended places to purchase one from?
I'd just go for another spi motor.
grab a '02 or later one with low mileage and you should be fine.
OH yeah, we have this too-
Engine and Transmission Swap Forum
Well, a Zetec would be just as easy to find in a junkyard. The problem with changing over Ford motors, is that you need both the motor and transmission. As far as I know the bolt patterns are completely different between all the engines- so the transmissions are also different. The insides of the transmissions are the same, but not the bellhousing. SVT motors and tranny's will swap up with Zetecs, but the SVT was built off the Zetec block.
For either conversion- and both would be as difficult IMO- you'd need a complete junked car. You must have both the engine, transmission, the wiring harness, and the computer. Not to mention that the extra parts you'd have left over after stripping the engine and transmission could be sold to help you recoup the cost of the car. It all depends on how well connected you are, and how long you can wait. Sometimes deals will pop up in the newspaper classifieds, but the best place to find a deal on a wrecked car is at police auctions or insurance auctions. I'd expect to pay about $500 at most- anything more than that and you'll be spending more money than a used motor and transmission is worth. Keep in mind that you'll also need money for a tow, and have a place to store such a thing. Then, once you get it, you can rent everything else you need as far as a cherry picker and engine stand go.
Beware of vehicles that have damage on the front end. If there is light front end damage, do not get one with damage on the passenger side because that's where the wiring harness and computer are in the car.
If you decide to do it that way, let me know, I can give you some advice on how to go about doing it if you tell me what kind of equipment you have at your disposal- jacks, jackstands, tow truck with boom lift, friend with a car lift- etc.
How different is installing a Zetec engine versus the standard 2.0L SPI SOHC motor?
Does the Zetec motor use the same hookups (hoses, electrical connectors, etc.) as the standard 2.0L SPI SOHC engine? In addition to the motor, what else will I have to replace or modify?
I am inclined to go with the same exact motor to keep things simple. Is the Zetec an interference engine?
|If you are going to replace, see about getting a Zetec instead or a Duratec engine. Zetec would probably be easier.
Ford Focus 2002 SOHC SPI 2.0L motor: replacement
After 140,000 miles, I had a valve seat fail (disintegrate) in one of my cylinders and so I'm debating replacing the motor.
I heard this is a common problem with this motor, and so I'm hesitant to get a motor from a junk yard, or to purchase a rebuilt motor. I'm even a bit hesitant to even purchase a new motor from Ford.
How often does valve seat failure occur? Is there a typical engine mileage band where this is more likely to occur? For example, above 100,000 miles?
If I go to Ford and purchase a new motor, are these engines any better built than the engines that came with the 2002 Focus?
Finally, what is a good price for a new engine? How much should I expect to pay for a rebuilt or junk-yard engine?
This has been a fantastic car, and so I'm hoping I can find a good replacement that will last at least another 50,000 to 100,000 miles without any new engine related failures.
