whereas, im just the 'master' of my domain! LOL
Yeah a little more passing to those bench guys who shot 59% would have possibly got you a win, but the hidden agenda appears to just get the high draft choice and I hate to say it, but even some of the players seem to be in on the sham. Picks between 12-16 have not bode well for the Pistons lately or made a big difference other than Rodney Stinkey.
Rip and Tay need heavy minutes to keep their numbers up for trade bait.
Another loss. With Nets winning at the same time Wall better start looking for apartments in Bremerton. Nice finish by JMax. Give some of Tays minutes to Daye please. It wont be easier to trade a injured Tay (or with his record this season I might be wrong here) and Daye needs to play!
We had the monster JMAX tonight. He almost won the game for us. He did a real good job defending Z-Bo. JMAX/BBen up front is an intense front court defensively. We could've pulled off the win if CV or JJ was playing SF instead of Tay in the 4th. Even though Rip's contract is a heavier burden, and we are loaded at the SG position, Rip's more valueable to this team than Tay at the moment. Tay's unproductivity is a direct result of this odd obsession with starting him and playing him starter's minutes. He was very active and effective the first 5 minutes of each half. After that, just sorta faded away. If we play him just 12-15 minutes a night, he can be a good asset at the moment. Either Q is royally screwing it up, or there's some sort of top-down directive to drive Tay to the ground. I saw us executing some really nice offensive schemes, but we're finishing with the wrong guy. There was one in the third quarter where Stuckey drove hard to the rim after a BBen screen, causing the D to collapse and in a beautiful pass he switched the ball to the weak side corner for a wide-open, uncontested 3 pointer. Unfortunately, that player happened to be Rip and he bricked it. Similar play two more times in the game, both finding a wide-open shooter for a 3pt attempt from the top of the key for two more bricks. One by Rip, the other by CV. Put Gordon in those plays and he would've hit at least one of those. But, inexplicably before Gordon was injured they would still run that play for CV, JJ or Rip when Gordon's in the game. Another thing I noticed along the same lines is that this team seems to execute offensive sets seemingly without being aware of the strengths and capabilities of each individual player. I saw plays where the ball ended up in BBen or JMAX's hands who were in a great position to score. Except that they were 15-18' away from the basket. You'd think CV would be at the receiving end of those plays, but he's hanging out at the 3pt line a-la Sheed. A lot of head scratching. Stuckey had a really good game. Overplaying Tay and Big Ben was what cost us this game. Both had nothing left in the tank during crunch time.
Stuckey can only reach the next level when he improves his jump shot. Again, he gets the ball late where a jumper is necessary and doesn't deliver. He can be a very good player if he can be more automatic with his jumper. I do not worry about the other aspects of his game. Wilcox is showing limitations unless his poor play is due to injury. Maxiel is starting to give real NBA minutes more often, good. Funny, Ben's offense is actually better now than before. Otherwise, our bigs again were overmatched: this time by Gasol and Randolph. Rip would be a real asset to a contender with that jump shot. But he is not a three baller and without Gordon, the Pistons are again ranked as one of the worst three ball teams in the league. I don't agree with Joe. We know what this team is about and it is sorely lacking a power forward and a center.
Stuckey's 11 assists and 1 t.o. must have been of the bad non PG variety.
the saddest thing in this loss is that most of the team played well ( lil' more/less) but they still lost. The scariest thing is that even Tay did not sink the boat as he usually does but the boat sank even w/o Tay direct initiative.
I forgot to extend the DVR so my recording cut off with a little over a minute to go. Looks like I didn't miss much though.
LMBO! Again, I'm watching objectively the whole month of January before I make comments about The Quintessential One. That was a fantastic game and very entertaining. Too many TO's early on, too many missed FT' and way too many missed layups. Pistons could have won, Pistons should have won, but give credit to the team for staying focused on the bigger goal........Wall, Turner or Johnson. Last, how good has Jason Maxiel been over these last handful of games? I gave the guy a ton of flack early on (that he deserved BTW) but as of late he has been making some very solid contributions. Max has really settled into his role as Ben's backup, a consistent role with consistent mins is really paying off.
I watch these games and think to myself, I am a Running Rodney Stuckey hater. I must be, he's out here making plays, hitting some tough shots etc and for some reason I don't like him. Then I see he's shooting 6-17 (and this is before he bottomed out). On most teams it is a good thing when your franchise guard picks up a stray loose ball 8' from the hoop for an open jumper. The Pistons are not most teams. The Griz are pretty good. If they ever figure out how to defend they could be something. I think OJ Mayo deserves a lot of credit for deferring to Rudy Gay. They are hinting in the papers that Max ran out of gas late in the game. It is not the first time they have claimed that. A nice stretch for him though especially the shooting. JJ did have a nice post up on Mayo that we haven't seen before and a good tip in also. Why does Stuckey always look like he's on the verge of keeling over in the 2nd half? He looks like a fat guy running at the Y on his lunch break.
Here's what Q says about The Quintessential One: PISTONS: Postgame Quotes - January 27, 2010 I'll discuss the significance in February. On The Quintessential One, I hear ya. On OJ Mayo, dude impressed me big time last night, with Z-Bo, Gasol and Rudy out there I think that he is content with picking his spots and playing an efficient game so that his team has the best chance to win, that's impressive for a 2nd year player who left college after 1 year, most guys in his position are playing for their next contract.

Very impressive.
Seems to me that we could have used Kwame to slow Gasol down a bit last night. We need to use Kwame against these tall and heavy centers. All we need him to do is make things tough on the offensive end for them. If he can draw fouls underneath on offensive it would be a bonus. At least we should have given him a chance. 10 minutes from him may have made the difference in the game. Daye has got to get on the court. Right now I don't think the coach is sure where to play him. I am not a fan of him playing the 2 just to get court time. Let him play the 3 and let JJ move to the 4. Put them both on the court together and let's see what their combined energy can do for us. We have the peices to be competitive every night; we just need to get them healthy. I keep watching the games and think of the Leecaps. When Chucky comes in the ballgame would we be seeing Bynum or Bengo instead at that point. Would we be better off. I am not a Will fan but have to beleive that if he shares the ball more then he has done in the past; we will finish games a lot better. Right now we are fighting to stay in games early but lose ground when we go to the bench. If we could just keep pace when we go to the pine it will put pressure on the opposition for 48 minutes instead of 30.
Pretty good summary I think from Langlois... But down three points midway through the third, they went four straight possessions without a point and came out the other side trailing by 11. They weren't finished trading jabs – they led by two after a Rodney Stuckey jumper with under three minutes left – but the Pistons, like all struggling teams, lack a knockout punch these days. Those three-, four-minute dry spells doom them. Without the capacity for smothering defense of the Ben Wallace-Rasheed Wallace 2004 Pistons, they can't count on locking down and holding teams to 20 percent, 12-point quarters. Lacking the chemistry of the Chauncey Billups-Rip Hamilton offense of their 64-win 2006 season, they can't rely on grinding a team under their boot with deadly execution. So it came down to those last two minutes, the way so many NBA games do, and like so many times this star-crossed, injury-plagued season, the Pistons just didn't make enough plays to win, losing 99-93. Yup, they didn't score after that Stuckey jumper gave them the lead with 2:56 to play. Memphis scored the last eight points – in fact, Marc Gasol scored the last eight points, six of them at the foul line, as the Pistons missed eight shots over four possessions despite getting looks John Kuester would take every time.
Maxiell has played well lately - particularly on D, muscling up against taller big men inside. It would be nice if we could depend on him as a backup center. He'll never be starting quality I think. But as a 10-15 mpg energy guy, perhaps 20-25 on nights where he's got it going, he could still be useful backing up a legitimate center. BTW, I was drooling last night over Gasol. Memphis got a lot of crap from everyone when they traded Pau Gasol, but his brother seems to be turning out to be a hell of a player. I'm not sure that he won't be better than Gasol, and more valuable since he's a legitimate 5 and Pau is to physically weak to handle that position. What else did Memphis get in that trade - Crittenton has turned out to be the ultimate suck, but I think they got draft picks too.
Yeah, At the time everybody was talking about how that was perhaps the most lopsided trade in NBA history. It seems to be working out for both teams now.

Didn't they also get one Kwame Brown?
Yeah, only one.

Crews continue work on Kingsport aquatic center
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - After almost 40 years it's out with the old and in with the new in Kingsport at the new aquatic center.
We've been keeping a close eye on construction and Thursday we caught up with officials to learn everything is on track to open in mid-May.
Are you counting down the days until you can swim at the new Kingsport aquatic center? Well it won't be long now, we got a sneak peak inside and crews are working both inside and out on the finishing touches. "This is putting in concrete decks, curbing, the landscaping, the fencing, those kind of things you do traditionally before you wrap the project up," said assistant city manager Chris McCart.
McCart says the differences between the new aquatic center and Legion Pool are night and day. Accessibility to all ages and abilities is one of the biggest improvements.
But some residents say this move is simply too risky. "I think safety is a bigger issue, because you've got all these kids that are going to have to either walk or ride a bike out on the dangerous roads to get to it," said resident Michael Logan.
But there's a big difference in how much it's going to cost you to visit. At Legion Pool it cost just $2 to swim if you were 12 years old and over. But at the new center it's going to cost youth and seniors $6 and an adult $8.
Here's how McCart says the city determined base rates. "We did a lot of research looking at rates in the area as well as what rates are at comparable facilities outside of the Tri-Cities and we feel like we've put a package together that is going to be affordable," McCart said.
Some residents say a positive change in the community is worth paying a few more bucks. "I am sad they're closing an icon but I think those things have to happen in order for progress to happen as well," said resident Paige Kramer.
Here is a link to the proposed fees at the new Kingsport Aquatic Center.
We've also learned Legion Pool will be eventually demolished, but first items with historical value will be taken out and moved to the aquatic center.

Thanks, Dan ... I was wondering where you were.
I hope your snowmobile trip was a total blast!
|Alan: Sorry I didn't answer you sooner, I was on a snowmobile trip. Left side is good, better than a front loader. Ask for a 1/4" welt foot,... this is kind of a personal preference, but that size has always worked well for me. With leather or vinyl I use 3/32" or 4/32" weltcord so the welts don't look fat. Normal weltcord that I use for fabric is 5/32". Extra bobbins and needles always come in handy. The Tacsew uses a 135x17 needle like my Consews. You will really love the heavier sewing machine, it will make your sewing much easier.
Thanks, Dusty ... it's good to touch bases with you again, Bro'!
LOL! I *love* that one: "If you want to hear God laugh, just let Him know you have plans..."
Hey Dan -- I have an update re: The Tacsew ... the bobbins load from the left side of the machine, not on the top or front ... and he said he would include a welt foot for me along with 5 size 21 needles and 5 M-Class bobbins.
Great to see you back online, Alan! I've followed your truck both here and on the Old Trucks e-mail list, and your posts have always been some of my favorite reads. Haven't seen you around in a while and was wondering what was up. Real life has a way of sneaking up on you, doesn't it? One of my favorite quotes, although I don't know who said it, is, "If you want to hear God laugh, just let Him know you have plans..."
You all need to check out the other pages in the "Alan's Ride" section of his website. He does a fantastic job of chronicling his work - lots of pics and good write-ups. Also remember that he's a great musician - give him a listen. You'll not be disappointed.
You sure have been a great help to me, Dan ... thank you so much for taking the time to look at the Tacsew for me. I'll ask about the position for loading the bobbin.
I got an elk hide today ... this should be all I need for the black in my interior. I'm going to look at the hides and colors offered on the site you linked to (above) -- looks like they have some really cool hides and they look to be lighter than Mr. Moose's and Mr. Elk's 4.5 ounce weight.
Next week I test the teflon foot on the Singer ... I hope it works!
|Alan: I took a look at the Tacsew on E-Bay and it appears to be a pretty good machine. It's a copy of the Singer 111 which has been around forever and is a good machine. I'm sure it will serve you well. The lift is slightly more than 1/2", so you will have no problem getting Mr. Moose and Mr. Elk under the foot. Large rotary hook would mean that it uses the larger M size bobbins. M bobbins have 52 yards of thread on them, and G bobbins have 31 yards. Be careful to find out if the bobbins load from the front or from the top, right next to the foot. If it loads from the front, it can be a pain in the butt if you need to change bobbins while you are still sewing. You can solve that problem by making sure you have a full bobbin before you start.
Thanks, Dan. I appreciate the heads-up on this.
I'm checking the Consew out and downloaded the PDF sales brochure ... but this machine is almost $400 more (that's 50% more) than the Tacsew.
Can you compare the two and tell me what the Consew does that the Tacsew doesn't do? The Tacsew has a large rotary hook; double normal size -- doesn't that mean it also has the larger bobbin size?
Alan: before you buy the Tacsew, check out www.sewone.com. A new Consew 206RB-5 is $1195.00, and comes with 110 volt power stand, 6 month warranty, set up and sew off with a welt foot, left and right zipper foot, 30 needles and 6 bobbins. This machine uses larger M style bobbins so you don't have to change bobbins as often. The guy that runs the place (Cody Sigmund) is a great sewing machine mechanic, and if you ever need service, you can ship it to him and he'll fix it and ship it back. I just had my 226R gone over, it only cost me about $100, and it runs perfect. He has other deals too.
I posted this before, but it didn't show up: When you use different threads, don't mix them up. If you sew with 92 polyester, use 92 polyester for bobbin thread. If you sew with 69 nylon, use 69 nylon for bobbin thread. If you mix threads, you run the risk of one thread cutting and breaking the other.
I also leave my welt foot on the machine all the time.
I'm thinking about buying a Tacsew machine now. The old Singer I got and modified is amazing ... and I'm getting 5 stitches per inch when I sew on the suede sides but when I sew on the leather sides, there's just too much friction and I get like 9 stitches per inch (NG!). I tried a roller foot to no avail ... next week I'm gonna try a teflon foot and see if that works ... but if it doesn't, then I buy the Tacsew.
Looks like I won't be making my boots this weekend.
I found a great Tacsew, Model T111-155, on eBay (brand new) for only $850.00 - including shipping - and that includes the table and everything. It has the compound walking foot, too, which is absolutely crucial. You can buy just the head for $600.00 but what the hay.

I just have to say thanks to all the members who have posted all this great info. It will be quite some time before I get to upholstery but I am saving this info in my favorites so I can come back when I do my upholstery. Thanks again guys!

That's a good tip ... thanks.
I bought a roller foot today, hoping it'll help increase my stitch size and add consistency to sewing leather. I haven't tried it yet, but it's got to be better than the welt foot. We'll see.
I also found some black "Jean Thread" ... it sure looks thicker. I'll be trying that on my french seams.
I have 3 boots I want to make this weekend; shifter, hand brake and foot brake. These ought to be nice and easy projects ... and a great test for the roller foot, the French seams and the Jean thread.
Here's another question I have:
When you're sewing a French stitch, do you use the regular foot? Or do you switch to a zipper/piping foot?
That was GREAT, Dan! Thanks!
I'm finally getting the idea. Nylon (like CoatsD-64) or (better still) Polyester 92 is what I'll be using on all my seams ... for strength.
Then, for looks and because I like the way a fatter thread appears -- and also for the UV protection factor -- I'll be using something like the Polyester size 92 on all French- or Top-stitching, which is mainly there for visual design and also what happens to get beat on by sunlight.
Sounds like the most economical approach would be to just use Polyester 92 for everything.
|Nylon is stronger than polyester in the same thickness. In other words: Nylon 69 is stronger than polyester 69, but nylon 69 is slightly less strong than polyester 92. Polyester 69 will last longer in a boat cover sewed with nylon 69, but polyester 92 will last far longer in the same circumstances. Don't be confused with the thickness of the thread, thickness does not necessarily mean strength. Cotton thread 1and 1/2 times as thick as nylon 69 may be thicker in appearance, but has far less strength. As far as the topstitching thread......... Coats makes a specific thread called topstitching thread. It is specifically designed to look heavier than their regular thread for appearance only. It is not necessarily stronger because it is and looks heavier. For example: Coats also makes an orange thread specifically to topstitch bluejeans. It may look heavier, but has far less strength than other threads. In other words: thread manufacturers make certain threads for no other reason than how they look on a specific finished piece, not necessarily how strong they are. What confuses the issue even more is the fact that there are no real sizing standards as far as thread goes. For upholstery work, nylon 69 is the standard, for different looks, there are dozens of threads to present other looks. Polyester 92 and polyester 138 (basically double the size of 92 but the same strength) are used for boat covers. Polyester 138 requires a larger needle (150 in my case and as large as your machine allows in your case) Polyester thread stands up better to direct sunlight. In any other application, stick to nylon for strength as opposed to size. My point is this: use whatever thread gives you a strong seam, and topstitch or french seam with whatever looks good to your eye. Whatever you do...........do not use nylon monofilament thread. This stuff is very cheap, but it heats up and stretches as it goes through a sewing machine, (even at low speeds , but especially at high speeds) and fails quickly. Bass Tracker used this thread to sew all their pontoon seats for two years and all of them failed after 5 years. They may have improved this stuff over the years, but............once bitten, twice shy babe. I apologize , once again , for being so wordy, but I was on a roll. Keep asking questions, dude, you're helping lots of guys when you ask.

My yummy sweet potato curry:
Don't judge my portion sizes I've always had big dinners lol It doesn't look pretty but it was very tasy!
http://www.goodnessgreeness.com/news...ives_view=trueCandied yams arent really made with yams. In fact, all of our familiar American yam dishes are made with sweet potatoes. The darker orange, sweeter, moist varieties of sweet potato tend to be called yams in the U.S. while the more pale (white or yellow), firm & mealy, less-sweet ones are referred to as sweet potatoes. Most Americans have never even seen a true yam.
Whats a yam if not a type of sweet potato?
True yams come from Africa and go by the botanical name: Dioscorea. The name yam derives from the word nyami, also meaning to eat. Yams are starchy tubers; but only distant relatives of potatoes and unrelated to sweet potatoesmembers of the morning glory family. The skin of a true yam is rough like bark, and can be poisonous if eaten raw.
So why do Americans call orange sweet potatoes yams?
In colonial Virgina (including North Carolina, the state that leads the US in sweet potato production), farmers took to calling the paler varieties of Ipomoea batatas sweet potatoes. African slaves in the colony used the word nyami to describe orange sweet potatoes, which bear some resemblance (but no relation) to true yams. Use of the abbreviated African word yam became widespread to differentiate sweet potatoes by color. The name yam has stuck for over 300 years, commonly used to describe the tastiest and most nutritious varieties of sweet potato to thrive on this continent.
I found it quite interesting!
So - I guess there are two kinds of sweet potatoes and we differentiate them by color as yams or sweet ootatoes! I never knew that, just knew they were different! I guess we have the colonial slaves to blame for this!

I have recently arrived in China and have been put into a junior school to teach y8's 'speaking english' classes. They are 14-15yrs old and there are between 50 and 70 pupils in each class. I have 14 different classes a week so i can't even get to know them. I believe they are about an intermediate level. I was given a textbook but the other English teachers use it so all the children already know it all. As i don't have a textbook to use and there are so many of them i really don't know what to do. I had thought about splitting them into groups to do group work but there isn't anyway for me to walk around the class to moitor and help them out. They are also really shy at participating in the class so i can't really play any games either.
Have you any idea how i can improve their speaking and listening?

In my experience (limited) the Grampians were built when the properties and strengthes of fiberglass were not all that well understood. It seems that the motto was more is better, therefore it was not uncommon to find them laid up with very thick skins and able to take incredible punnishment. A dream to sail never but...there are far worse Edsels out there IMHO
I don't know what other people are using as a definition for solid...but yours looks alot like mine.
|Well put Tim and thanks for the clarity. Perhaps people now will understand that if you're looking for a tough sailboat that will pound the waves, but has little bells and whistles, then the Grampian is in the running. The major issue I had with My G26 was her enability to point in the wind, beyond that she was great.
I had read a while ago that Grampian was the first Canadian production fiberglass boatbuilder, and knew that initially they were producing boats under license from others. I wasn't aware that two of their models were designed by C&C.
I think people are using different definitions of "solid" in this discussion. The points Jeff raised about Grampians being inexpensive boats was certainly true -- they defined their market as entry level cruising boats. The former production manager at Grampian once told me that "We built Fords. If you came in and asked for a Lincoln, we'd send you next door to C&C." (A C&C production plant was literally next door to the Grampian plant in Oakville.)
As production expanded in the 1970s, Grampian opened a plant in Edenton, NC. I've heard both that the Edenton plant did fiberglass molding, and that all the fiberglass was done in Oakville and just final assembly was done in Edenton. In any event, the boats put together in Edenton were known to have assembly quality problems. Jeff mentioned working on a lot of them, but didn't mention any fatal problems that led to scrapping boats. In the 30 years since then, I expect the problems on these boats would have been sorted out.
I certainly agree with the point that was made about the boats designed by Grampian having traded price and headroom for sailing ability. Grampian intentionally defined their market as economical cruisers, whereas C&C defined theirs as high performance boats. Different horses for different courses.
But coming back to the idea of whether the boats were "solid", in my mind sailing ability, initial assembly quality, number of standard features, headroom, etc., don't correlate to whether a boat is solidly built or not. (In fact, one could make a case that the boats with the greatest sailing performance are typically the lightest, most highly stressed and therefore the most fragile.)
The other day my wife pointed me to a Barvaria 40 being sold as salvage (YachtSalvage.com: ) It laid down on some sand and got only two holes 4" x 6" she said. Maybe we should buy it, patch it and make some money, she said... Check the Additional Photos link for more close-ups of the boat in the shop. It looks like they've ground back half the starboard hull under the waterline. Looks like a total constructive loss to me.
In contrast, the bottom of the Grampian history page (HISTORY OF GRAMPIAN MARINE) mentions a G30 that was grounded off Cape Hatteras and pounded for hours by a severe storm. When the tide returned the boat floated off with "the only damage sustained was some straining of the keel bolts!".
I can't find it now, but after Hurricane Juan hit Halifax in 2003, someone on the Grampian mailing list reported watching his G26 lose its docklines, beat against and sink two other sailboats on its way to being grounded on shore. After the storm passed, he had the boat pulled back into the water and tied it back up to his dock.
My definition of a "solid" boat is more along these lines than the features or sailing performance. Grampians weren't fancy boats, but they have a relatively high amount of strength in their design and construction.
Have never seen or heard of a C&C 22. No mention of it anywhere... They did design the Viking 22, which was a reworking of the Classic 22, but built and sold by Ontario Yachts. The Bluejacket was commissioned and built by Paceship, a Nova Scotian firm. There were apparently some build issues with the US - produced Grampians in the late '70s. US production ceased in 1979.
Redwings were designed by C&C and built by Hinterhoeller in Niagara, Ontario. George Hinterhoeller had commissioned the design. Prior to 1970, Grampian produced the Classic 31, which was sold in kit form. It was designed by Peter van Dyne. The Grampian 30 was designed by Alex McGruer.
Tim: The two C&C designs built by Grampian was the Classic 22 (later sold as the C&C 22 and the Bluejacket) and the Redwing, the Grampian version was sold under another name that escapes me. The Redwing was being built by Bellevue Marine and by 1965 Grampian picked up construction in some kind of joint venture with Bellevue. I worked in the Grampian Booth during the 1965 NY Boat Show keeping the boats fresh, handing out literature on both C&C boats plus the Peter Van Dyne designed Classic 31 (which was commissioned by Henry Walton here in Annapolis and built by Grampian in three forms). I later owned a C&C Designed Grampian Classic 22.
My comments on the build and sailing quality came from my experiences with my own C&C 22 which was actually pretty well built for its day and my experioence with later Grampian models, most particularly during the late 1970's when I had a deal with a fellow that I could use his Grampian 26 in exchange for teaching him to sail and maintaining his boat. There were several other Grampians in town and the owners all seemed to know each other and have similar kinds of problems and so I spent a lot of time on these boats trying to sort out poor build quality issues.
Bigger and more expensive, but another "good deal" perhaps?.. is this one:
NADA retail is $25k to $28k.
1979 Hunter 37-C sailboat
They are well-built, durable boats...at the age now though where the degree of maintenance they have enjoyed may pretty well supersede the original build quality as a determinant of their structural integrity ...
From Canadian Yachting
The Grampian 26 was designed by Alex McGruer in 1967. McGruer is part of a boatbuilding dynasty that reaches back to 1911, when the family business was located on the Clyde Estuary on the west coast of Scotland. The Grampian hills of his native land gave the name to this line of boats, which also includes the McGruer-designed 30-footer. Grampian Marine in Oakville, Ontario built most of these vessels, though some were built at Summerstown, east of Cornwall, Ontario. The boat was in production from 1967 through 1977, and according to McGruer, just over 1,000 Grampian 26s were built during that decade. (Nearly 200 were ordered during the first year alone.) Taddle Creek Yachts, of Toronto, tried unsuccessfully to revive interest in the design in 1987, but it seems new boat buyers were looking for a more modern design and there were no orders.
McGruer's design mandate had been for a comfortable family sailer, with six-foot headroom in the interior, and the berths for four (five if you squeeze two into the pull-out settee). She was to be strong and seaworthy, and trailerable - hence the swing-keel version. (The swing-keel has a draft of 3ft with the keel up, 6ft 6in with the keel down; fixed keel draft is 4ft 3in.)
The Grampian 26 was heavily built and, happily for their owners, no chronic problems have surfaced in the nearly quarter century since the first boat was launched.
In the past 24 years, this Canadian boat has been spotted in waters around the world. During one notable voyage an owner sailed from Lake Ontario to England and the Mediterranean, then returned to Canada via the Caribbean. Several of these boats have made good the trip through the Intra-Coastal Waterway to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, returning to their ports with a contented crew.
I have never heard the Grampian 26 described as a "pretty boat" but she is comfortable for her size. Overall length is exactly 26 feet and the beam stretches to 8ft 4in. Many owners describe her as the ideal minimum-sized boat for a cruising couple.
...Grampian Marine Limited then began it's own designs in response to substantial orders from other dealers in the US especially George Walton Yachts of Annapolis, Md.. These included the Classic 31 designed by a naval architect in Annapolis, Peter van Dyne, and the Sparkman and Stephens designed Classic 37. About thirty to forty of these boats were built before the sixties designs were dropped in favour of the newer fin keelboats.
Subsequently Grampian took on its own in-house designer Alex McGruer. Alex grew up within the bounds of McGruer & Co Ltd. - a family boat building business in Clydner on The Clyde established in 1911. He began his boat building apprenticeship there in 1943, training as draftsman, loftsman and finally yacht designer. Besides the admirals barge on the royal yacht Britannia, he was also involved in the design of the 8 metre racing yacht 'Innismara' which won the Lloyds Yacht of the Year award in the sixties. Alex McGruer II, M.S.N.A.M.E., was given the parameters to design boats with good sailing abilities and yet providing comfort. He began with the popular Grampian 26 followed by the G 30 and later the trailerable G 23.
Jim Bisiker has no records or a date of when the various boats were built or exact numbers made but does recall that the G 23 was not as successful as had been hoped – only about two to three hundred were built. The G 26 was more successful - about a thousand were made. The G 30 was also popular and about four hundred were built before the plant closed in the late '70's. Also built was the G 34 - a modification of the Triangle 32.
Ewan Campbell joins
In 1972 Ewan Campbell, joined Grampian and was in charge of retail and dealer sales, customer relations, shipping, commissioning and service. He recalls the following more specific details:
Grampian Model Chronology
G 26 designed in 1969 about 980 built plus # 999 a special production order.
G 23 designed in 1972 - about 300 built.
G 28 designed in 1975 - 107 built – designed in house by Rolf van der Sleen with a view to competing in the half-ton racing class.
G 30 designed in 1969 about 350 built
G 30 Cutter rig designed in 1975 about 50 built
G 34 designed in 1973 about 50 built – based on the Triangle 32 and the design reworked in house by Axel Schmidt.
G 2-34 designed in 1974 about 50 built
G 46 designed in mid 60's about 300 built – this began life as a 41 footer.
Discovery 7.9 completed in time for the 1975 Toronto Boat Show.
The Discovery 7.9 was based on the G 26 retaining the sweet hull lines but with a new, higher deck and coach roof – very few were built.
Ewan remained with Grampian until the end in the summer of 1977. Working for the receivers, he stayed on to complete some boats already under construction. At that time the G 28s were just taking off and tooling up was being started for the new McCurdy & Rhodes design Heritage 35 that had been built by a company in Rexdale, Ontario. About twenty had been built before Grampian bought the moulds and took on a couple of their key men before Grampian's doors were closed.
Ewan feels that the future was looking good but refers to himself as 'the last man out the door'! He recalls that Cape Dory bought the 28 and the 35 – the two newest designs.
Much of the Grampian production was destined for the US and a plant had been opened in North Carolina. The Woody Road, Oakville and the North Carolina plants both built the 26, 30 and the 34-foot designs. Only a couple of 46-foot boats were built in Oakville - the rest were built in N. Carolina....
...the main competition to Grampian was Pearson in the US and Whitby Boats in Canada. There was a time when George Cuthbertson of C & C approached Grampian to suggest a merger. C & C boats were of a racing design whereas Grampian was pursuing the cruising market. It seemed like a good partnership but nothing came of it.

First let me say, this is a gorgeous helmet. the outside looks almost straight off the film itself. This is The GMH Resin cast by Fett Pride. the only things i did to it so for is cleaned up some of the leftover apron on the bottom and drill small holes where some of the holes go (to attach the ears). I would have just taped them on for now, but tape wasn't sticking to it.. not even duct tape. i don't know, maybe i did something wrong.. i tried wiping it down with some Acetone and then just some water.. nothing seemed to help. anyways.
all outward appearances look wonderful. there were a few weak resin spots where the visor needs to be cut in a few spots. but who cares about that.. its coming out anyways!
The inside is very glossy. very smooth, but there is one spot where there seems to be a bump of too much resin i shined a flashlight in and you can kind of see it also see the light inside the bucket picts showing the thickness the dark areas are thicker.. when put on, it's a bit uncomfortable because of it and will probably need to be sanded down.
Inside light to see resin thickness
Below is the image i was talking about above the dark area on the left is the bump.
all in all i think this helmet is absolutely brilliant.. the resin seems very durable and for the most part even and not weak.. and would be great for trooping! most of my experiences with resin seem a but brittle or sometimes too bendy and weak.. this is perfect.. expertly made!
I personally would have preferred a fiberglass one just because of the accurate build i am doing.
Chris if you are reading this brother, it was a long wait (for me) but totally worth it.. I think i might owe you a beer (or other beverage of your choosing) just for taking on this project.. Cheers!

How did you save for a baby?
I'm having a tough time saving up money! My baby isn't due untill Feb. but I want to be able to move out, finace my car and take care of my child. (along with the father) We both have $14 per hr. jobs, but it seem like saving isn't doing too much.
What are some helpful tips on saving $$$.
14th December 2011 06:53 AM #2
Welcome to the forum. Can you let me know what country you are living in as it will be helpful in providing suggestions to you.
Having a baby is a big life change and I understand that you must be finding it tough to do everything you need to do. Saving money is tricky. The best suggestion I have is to make a budget. Write down all your expenses and your income and see what is realistic regarding your finances.
I would avoid baby and nursery speciality stores - these have lots of lovely, but really expensive items. Search out second hand items on eBay or second hand stores. Better still people are happy to loan or give baby items. Here in Sydney we have a Yahoo group called freecycleSydneyNW - where people offer their goods (often baby goods) for free.

Yes it is a huge thing. I am in the same boat with you. We have one, but we have another on the way. I understand what you are going through. I work from home, so it is hard for me to even make anything half of the time. My husband brings home the money, but not too much you know. I tell you it is hard with bills and everything to save up money. We never really saved we just bought things when they needed it. Like every time we got paid or something like that. I would write down everything and see where you stand and what money you have left over. If there are some things you can live without I would do that as well if possible. Good luck to you.

Avoid buying new; look for 2nd hand on eBay and Facebook buy and sell groups in your local area; Gumtree... All I had when my daughter was born was an Ergo (that was new as I wanted organic), a homemade ring sling (check our Jan Andrea Online free instructions), a small box (read small!) of 2nd hand newborn clothes, a pile of 2nd hand terry nappies, a little potty (we did EC), a small box of newborn disposable nappies for emergency days when everything fell to pieces, a borrowed car baby capsule, a couple of baby blankets that were given to us, and a PUL-backed wet mat for the bed (we did intentional co-sleeping). I breastfed and I hired a pump when I needed one, from a lactation consultant but the Australian Breastfeeding Association ones are available in every state. No cot, no change table, no stroller or pram, no pile of new clothes, no expensive and fancy MCN's! I had an Amby hammock but sold it soon after as it didn't work out with my baby who slept better with me. Many of these things were parenting choices for me, but for anybody they could translate into low cost. I spent more hiring my homebirth midwife than anything else, the most expensive thing we bought was the organic Ergo new. I got a bouncer off freecycle for nothing.

I agree that it can seem overwhelming to save for a baby. Yet, I think many people tend to overspend and buy unnecessary things. While each woman is different and will find that she likes different things, there are some things you don't necessarily need to buy right now. I agree to look for second hand items. You could find a few special outfits in the store, but it will really help if you find the majority of your items from a second hand store. If you have friends or family members with young children, you could always ask them if they have any clothing from when their babies were younger that you could have. Breastfeeding will not only save you money, but it is also beneficial for your baby and you.
If you plan to co-sleep, you don't really need a cot right now. This article provides great information about co-sleeping and how to do it safely. We never had a use for a changing table, as you can lay the baby down on a blanket and change him or her that way. A baby carrier or sling is very helpful, so you could opt for one of those versus an expensive pram. You don't need a high chair at first, as well. Cloth nappies will help you save money too, and you can find discounts on those or buy them second hand. I also suggest looking for a freecycle in your area to see if you can find anything that you need. Good luck and I wish you the best.

I agree with Jessica, most people overspend especially with the first baby. Practically all you need is a few outfits, some cloth nappies, a car seat, and your breasts. In fact, if you worked on elimination communication and lived in a warm climate, then all you REALLY would need is breasts. Everything else is optional at this point.
Most baby stuff is only used for a brief period of time. There are tons of placing to find used stuff. With only one baby you should be able to get buy with a one bedroom place for some time into the future. You may even want to consider co-housing with another family, to increase the number of adults and reduce the responsibility of bills.
You can do this, don't let it stress you out. For most families it all seems to just fall in place once the baby arrives.

An effective way to budget for baby is not to buy early..Consider only the most important things that should be ready before the baby is born..The rest of the shopping can wait until the baby comes out..Do not buy unnecessary items like audio-visual brain builders that claim to make your child a genius over night.More tips you can get from How to save money on baby items... Whenever you need a little help paying for things, you can always get a payday loan. The loan will help particularly when you are dealing with the costs of having a baby. When you consider all the doctors' appointments before and after you have the baby as well as the cost of paying for delivery, it adds up really quickly.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa Learning Farms, Practical Farmers of Iowa and Mitchell County NRCS/SWCD will co-host a field day at the John Schwarck farm near Riceville, Iowa, on Tuesday, Aug. 21, beginning at 10:30 a.m. The field day will highlight management options to successfully add cover crops to a row crop rotation.
The field day will feature John Schwarck, a Mitchell County farmer planning to seed winter-hardy cereal rye as a late summer-seeded cover crop for the first time in 2012. Also USDA-ARS cover crop research agronomist Tom Kaspar will share insights from nearly 20 years of evaluating cereal grain and legume cover crops in Iowa. A pilot from Klinkenborg Aerial Spraying of Parkersburg will answer questions about logistics and costs of aerial-seeding cover crops into standing corn or soybean crops. Local farmers with experience managing cover crops are also invited to share their insights.
Farmers and landowners are learning more about the short- and long-term benefits of adding cover crops on their farm. Cover crops have potential to reduce soil erosion, increase soil organic matter levels, improve soil structure, protect water quality by capturing and holding fertilizer nutrients, and restrict growth of winter annual weeds in no-till crop management systems.
The field day includes a complimentary lunch provided by the Mitchell County Cattlemen. The event is free and the public is invited to attend. The field day will be held at the Schwarck farmstead, 3317 390th Street, Riceville. From Highway 9 in Riceville travel south 2.5 miles on county road T-68, then west on 390th Street (gravel road) about one mile.
Iowa Learning Farms takes a grassroots approach, offering innovative ways to help all Iowans have an active role in keeping the state's natural resources healthy and not take them for granted. A goal of Iowa Learning Farms is to build a Culture of Conservation, encouraging the adoption of residue management and conservation practices. Farmers, researchers and ILF team members are working together to identify and implement the best in-field management practices that increase water and soil quality while remaining profitable.

In case people didn't know...
Batninja also does the side pockets and spats! :thumbup
Hands down the side pockets and spats are by far THE best I have owned to date!
Eric's spats are the fifth pair I have owned. The cut, fit and material are the best I have found. They fit on my CA boots like they were custom made for them. And he did this with NO measurements from me!
His side pockets are the fourth set I have owned. Same deal. Cut, stitching and material are spot on.
Thank goodness! I no longer have to upgrade those parts!
Now that I let that cat out of the bag...
You'd better contact him quickly before he is flooded for requests on these soft goods!
I will try and post pics when I get a free moment!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 35
That's excellent. I'm not sure when the deadline is yet, it really depends on how many submissions I get (hopefully lots!). In any case, it'll be a few months at least. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
This sounds interesting.... I will see what I can come up with and get something out to you soon.
Do you prefer 1/2 page or whole page submissions?
I wrote a really long piece for my own zine years ago. I could revise it and shorten it if you weren't too precious about exclusivity.
ALSO: im thinking of putting together a menstrual porn/erotica/documentation zine, if anyone is interested in the more visceral side of things, please send me a message.

NEW YORK CITY -- The New York City Board of Health voted 8-0 to approve Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on large sugary drinks on Sept. 13.
Marking the first such ban of its kind in the country, the new rule aimed at lowering the city's rising obesity rates will prohibit restaurants, delis, concessions, food carts and other city venues from selling sweetened drinks in containers bigger than 16 fl.oz.
It will apply only to drinks that contain more than 25 calories per 8-fl.oz. serving, and would not extend to diet sodas, fruit juices, milk-based drinks or alcoholic beverages. Vending machines, convenience stores and establishments that do not receive health grades from the health department will be exempt.
Bloomberg, who proposed the measure in May, celebrated its passage on Twitter. "NYC's new sugary drink policy is the single-biggest step any gov't has taken to curb obesity," he wrote. "It will help save lives."
The guidelines will take effect in six months. Their passage only required the health board's vote to become binding.
The health board, appointed by the mayor, said it received 38,000 comments, with 32,000 in support and 6,000 opposed. Its opponents included New Yorkers for Beverage Choices, a coalition that includes the National Automatic Merchandising Association, which represents the vending machine industry, and the National Beverage Association. | SEE STORY
The coalition has vowed that it will fight the measure by other means, possibly in the courts.
Health board members backed their decision, citing that 5,000 New Yorkers die annually for reasons related to obesity, and claimed that there is strong evidence that supports a link between sweetened drinks and obesity.
However, one health board member abstained from voting. Sixto R. Caro, former president of the Spanish American Medical Dental Society of New York, expressed concern before the vote about the financial impact of the proposal on some small businesses.
The Bloomberg administration has made curbing obesity a top priority, as more than half of adult New Yorkers are obese or overweight, according to the city's health department. During the past nine years, the city has required that chain restaurants post calorie counts on menus, banned trans fat from restaurants and prepared foods, and blocked sugary soft drinks from vending machines in schools and city buildings.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Early butterfly may have been a mourning cloak
STACY COLE | July 26. 2013 7:47PM
"Gardens for children is the current 'thing' in environmental education, health and wellness, healthy eating, etc. We have worked with pre-school through high school. Students love gardens, especially pre-school and elementary grades. Getting them and keeping them engaged is not a problem. Teachers usually support the idea but struggle to fit it into the many demands already crowding the school day. We make it happen by working closely with teachers by providing knowledge and resources they need to be successful. We co-teach with them when that is what they request.
A Canterbury reader wrote in part: "I look forward to your columns, especially your June 22 article regarding a reader's sighting of a white lady's slipper. I see one annually at my family cemetery. I was born and raised in Chocorua. I visit the Chocorua cemetery regularly to honor family members and friends. Each Memorial Day weekend I am greeted with 15-20 pink and one spectacular white lady slipper in a shaded section behind the plot of some dear friends. The flowers are nested along a stone wall and are so beautiful. Their beauty and location are so fitting as our family friends brought so much joy to my life. Thank you for sharing the lady's slipper story so that I also could share mine!"An Andover reader wrote in part: "At the bottom of the slope behind the house we had a giant weeping willow, fully 2 feet in diameter. Every spring there would be 3-4 lady's slippers under its branches. A gust of wind from a late east storm blew! CRASH! Never a lady's slipper since!"

Be Confident in the Cloud
Learn how Cisco Collaboration is accelerating the path to the cloud
Quality Video Conferencing on Any Device to Anyone
Now, you can experience business quality connections by integrating video conferencing capabilities in every collaboration interaction. As the workforce becomes more mobile and distributed, leaders recognize the benefits and growing impact of video conferencing as a key part of collaboration. Video is becoming more pervasive as a business tool. Case in point: Now that most desktop and mobile devices have cameras, nearly anyone can join online meetings and do video conferencing.
People are becoming more comfortable with video conferencing. When travel budgets are reduced, video conferencing saves face-to-face meetings from being reduced to faceless phone calls. Since most communication is non-verbal, video conferencing allows for better communication compared to audio-only calls.
Use video conferencing to improve communications, relationships, and productivity by helping people meet face-to-face over distance. This helps you:
- Improve decision making by reducing communications delay
- Build trust and understanding across cross-functional and diverse teams
- Reduce employee travel, real-estate costs, and environmental impact
- Encourage knowledge sharing with employees, partners, and customers
Video conferencing is all part of engagement and making it easy and natural for people to collaborate. New technology makes video conferencing experiences available anywhere, and as easy as voice. In many cases, these experiences are better than being there.
Collaborate with Anyone at Any Time
Cisco supports video conferencing to and from the desktop, mobile devices, and conference rooms to allow easier, more transparent interactions and consistent experiences. Affordable solutions provide superior scale and help enable any-to-any video through standards-based technology.
Experience Better Video Conferencing
Deploy technology that is easy to use, deploy, maintain, and integrate. Users get intuitive interactions, less dependence on IT, and a single identity across all devices. IT gets unified call-control and management platforms to simplify administration, deployment, and troubleshooting. An integrated end-to-end video conferencing architecture uses the intelligent network for highly secure, reliable, more comprehensive, and overall better user experiences.
Achieve More with Video Conferencing
Use video conferencing to accomplish what you cannot in person. Improve productivity by meeting with people in multiple countries in one day, or with hundreds of people at once. Attend meetings on your own time, replay important material, and easily navigate on keywords and speakers.
Cisco Video Conferencing Products
Video conferencing can help you improve team productivity, strengthen customer relationships, and scale expertise throughout your organization and beyond.
Collaboration Meeting Rooms

|The Business School Brings Sustainability Home
|Committed to sustainability, the School of Business is adding sustainability modules to required courses this fall.
Committed to sustainability, the School of Business is adding sustainability modules to required courses in each of its four core disciplinary areas this fall.
Finance and international business professor Hormoz Movassaghi is introducing a "Managing Corporate Social Responsibility Globally" component to the International Business Operations course.
Management professor Aimee Dars Ellis created two modules for her department. One illustrates how the control process, a management function, helps direct a firm's efforts toward sustainability. The other explores the role of motivating employees to embrace sustainability in the workplace.
These modules are one of four sustainability initiatives the school will pursue this year.
- The school is now a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Management Education, which foster responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally.
- Management professor Linda Gasser and graduate student Sara Rawson '11 created a database of business articles, exercises and case studies focused on sustainability, which will assist faculty in incorporating sustainability topics in the classroom.
- Three students are starting an Ithaca College student chapter of Net Impact, a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals use the power of business to create a more sustainable world.
Starting with the name of its building – the Dorothy D. and Roy H. Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise – the School immerses everyone in sustainability. The Park Center, opened in 2008, earned LEED Platinum certification and is a popular site for those interested in high-performance sustainably designed buildings.
The School's mission statement declares: "Our degree programs align theory with practice within the global and ethical decision-making context necessary to foster sustainable enterprises."
But just what is "sustainability?"
The Environmental Protection Agency says, "The traditional definition of sustainability calls for policies and strategies that meet society's present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Movassaghi explains the topic in terms of business school teachings:
"Sustainability considerations are becoming increasingly strategic in nature, and top managers recognize the importance of its integration into their day-to-day operations, driven by a variety of marketplace imperatives and personal commitment among some companies' top management."
Movassaghi's International Business Operations course will
- Review leading market business sustainability indexes to see how they identify specific areas of corporate practices and measure companies' performance in sustainability.
- Review environmental, corporate social responsibility and workplace standards around the globe.
- Examine sustainability strategies of the top-ranked global corporations in the consumer, capital goods and service sectors. The fall case studies will cover Johnson & Johnson, Asea Brown Boveri-ABB and Vodafone, respectively representing the three sectors.
When Ellis teaches general core classes, such as Organizational Behavior and Management, she uses sustainability-related examples to illustrate the concepts discussed in class. For discussion of organizational culture and values, she includes companies like Timberland and Patagonia (manufacturers of outdoor clothing and products) that, she says, "have a strong mission related to sustainability."
She also introduces corporate leaders who are strong proponents of sustainability. One of her favorites is Tom Szaky of TerraCycle, a maker of consumer products from pre- and post-consumer materials.
Szaky started his company as a freshman at Princeton in 2001. TerraCycle creates national recycling systems for previously non-recyclable or hard-to-recycle waste and converts the collected waste into items such as tote bags, garden products and school backpacks available at retailers like Walmart and Whole Foods Market.
"Since he has such charisma, the students connect to him," Ellis says.
Three other faculty helped create the modules: Alka Bramhandkar, also in finance and international business; Scott Erickson, in marketing and law; and Warren Schlesinger in accounting. These modules fill in the gap between the introductory World of Business class for freshmen and the capstone Strategic Management class for seniors, both of which include sustainability.
Ellis, Movassaghi and Alyssa Weinberg '12 attended last year's Net Impact conference in Detroit, hosted by the University of Michigan School of Business.
"It was incredibly inspiring – both hearing the great stories from corporate leaders who are infusing their firms with interesting and meaningful initiatives, as well as seeing all the student representatives who are committed to carrying that energy into their future jobs," said Ellis.
She and Movassaghi helped Weinberg, Lauren Goldberg '13 and Katie Oertel '13 establish the IC Net Impact (www.netimpact.org) chapter.
Oertel, a business management major with an environmental studies minor, says they want the chapter to include students from all majors, not just business. Weinberg is a business administration major, Goldberg in environmental studies. Using Net Impact's online database of tools and professionals, they will invite speakers to talk about green business strategies.
"I hope to also get the organization involved in some community service, outreach projects and possible tours of other eco-friendly business facilities," said Oertel.
The School also presents a Sustainability Speaker series. In the past year, Mark Buckley, vice president of environmental affairs for Staples, discussed "Staples' Sustainability Story," and Peter G. Brown, a professor in the McGill University School of Environment, spoke on "Will Sustainability Elude Us? An Ethical Critique."
PRME – the Principles for Responsible Management Education – has attracted 390 academic institutions around the world as participants. The School will report its progress annually and benchmark best practices. PRME (www.unprme.org) includes six principles:
- Purpose: To develop students as leaders of sustainable values for business and society.
- Values: To incorporate the values of global social responsibility into all school classes and activities.
- Method: To enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership.
- Research: To help corporations create sustainable social, environmental and economic value.
- Partnership: To understand business managers' challenges in meeting social and environmental responsibilities and to explore effective approaches to meet these challenges.
- Dialogue: To support discussion among educators, students, business, government, consumers, media and other stakeholders on global social responsibility and sustainability.

|well the 200 engine has a diffrent bellhousing than the 302, you need the bellhousing from a 289 or 302 car. I would not worry about the trans, the 4 lug 7 1/4" rear end is what I would be afraid of, there weak for a stout 6, let alone an 8. pesonally I'd keep the 6, you can make it as potent as a mild 302. theres a new alloy head out, and plenty of parts for them, not to mention you won't have to update the suspension or install all 5 lug parts, or the V8 steering box ( most people ignore this weak link, the 6cyl version is lighter duty ), you might have to install a 8" rear if you plan on running it real hard. I'm stuck on the 6cyl's myself. I have a turbocharged '67 200 that I built myself, it's all custom ( 2.3 Ford 4cyl pistions, custom cam, diffrent year head, dual roller timing chain from australlia, roller rockers from australlia, Ford 302 intake valve springs for intake and exhaust, 302 2 peice valve spring retainers with stock 200 centers, Turbo's from a Buick 3.8 ) and I have around $3,500 in the motor, it's in a '67 Falcon 4dr. oh yeah, a 202, is a .030 over 200, actully a 202.3.
Mustang 202/6 with 3 speed to 302 V8
Do I have to replace my stock 3 speed manual trans if I want to convert the 202/6 to a 302 V8?
I won't be driving hard and the 302 will be mild, so all I'm worried about is can I use the same trans with the 302?
If I can, what do I need to do it? What models and/or years 302? Flywheels? Bellhousings?

Policies and Procedures
Under the Policy and Procedural Guidelines for Misconduct in
Research and Scholarship, allegations of misconduct in research and
scholarship are directed to the Dean of the appropriate College and
the Provost. The University assumes responsibility for resolving
allegations and investigating incidents on misconduct by its
faculty, staff, and students. These responsibilities exist
regardless of whether the activity is funded by federal, state, or
private sources, or are the result of unfunded efforts. The full
text of the policy is below:
The creation and dissemination of knowledge are primary missions
of the University. Accordingly, the University should foster an
environment in which research flourishes. Such an environment
requires the integrity of faculty, students, and staff who conduct
research and scholarship. Furthermore, faculty, investigators, and
other supervisors need to ensure the integrity of research and
scholarship conducted under their direction.
A. Policy
At Lesley University, misconduct in research and scholarship is
defined as:
The intentional fabrication or falsification of data, research
procedures, or data analysis; plagiarism; or other fraudulent
activities in proposing, conducting, reporting, or reviewing
research. Willful failure to comply with federal, state, or
university requirements a) for protecting researchers, human
subjects, and the public during research and b) concerning the
humane treatment of animals used in research. Use of research
funds, facilities, or staff for unauthorized and/or illegal
B. Clarifications
Hereinafter "misconduct" means misconduct in research and
scholarship as defined above. Misconduct does not include honest
error or honest differences in interpretation or judgments of data.
This policy pertains to original research and scholarship only and
is not intended to replace other policies dealing with academic
conduct, such as integrity in class or course work.
"Inquiry" means information gathering and initial fact-finding
to determine whether an allegation or apparent instance of
misconduct warrants investigation. "Investigation" means the formal
examination and evaluation of all relevant information to determine
if misconduct has occurred.
C. Procedures
The Dean of a college and the Provost may receive, typically in
writing, allegations of misconduct in research and scholarship.
However, the Provost of the University, through the University
Deans, is ultimately responsible for all research programs and
activities conducted at the University. Therefore, the Provost
shall be informed by the Deans of all allegations of misconduct in
research and scholarship.
Furthermore, the Provost shall consult with the University's
Attorney on all inquiries and investigations, and is responsible
for directing inquires into and investigations of misconduct in
research and scholarship, and in meeting all reporting requirements
established by federal and non-federal agencies.
The procedures of this policy are not exclusive of other
mechanisms for the review of misconduct. In the case of review of
allegations of misuse of funds, the University's Internal Auditor,
and in some cases outside auditors, shall investigate and report to
the proper administrators. In the case of alleged illegal
activities, the Provost retains the power to direct investigations,
take interim measures prior to or during any inquiry or
investigation to preserve state property or resources, and request
reports on alleged violations. Where an investigation of misconduct
under this Policy may be duplicative, and where issues of the
proper conduct of scientific research are lacking, the Provost may
decide not to conduct an investigation under this policy.
D. Administrative Procedures
While the University is primarily responsible during the period of
inquiry and investigation, a relevant public agency may perform its
own investigation at any time prior to, during, or following the
University's investigation and may impose sanctions determined by
its own investigation.

For over two hundred years Great Britain has been a sanctuary to those fleeing oppression and even refugees like Karl Marx were afforded a place of refuge on its shores. Anseime Noumbiwa, a refugee from the Cameroons, fled his country in search of escape from torture and brutality, but British immigration officials denied his claim for asylum. He was forced on a plane where upon resisting, security forces beat him in an effort to make him accept deportation. Fortunately, plane staff refused to allow him to be forced on the plane and he was returned. On the second attempt to force him to get on a plane, he was again beaten. When he was forced on an Air France plane, passengers intervened to prevent him from being sent to certain torture.
This is an incident about brutality toward a human who was being sent back to torture, but, unfortunately, it is not the first such case to come out of the UK in recent months. There have been several such incidents in which people were forcibly deported regardless of the risk to their lives. Certainly, this is not in the historic spirit of Great Britain as the home for those fleeing oppression.

Bird Conservation
Report Nesting Bald Eagles
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources monitors all known bald eagle nests annually and works with landowners to help protect these sites from disturbance. Georgia's nesting eagle population has been increasing and new nesting territories are established each year. Bald eagles return to their nesting territories in late summer or early fall and usually have eggs by December. The eggs hatch about a month after being laid and the young leave the nest about 12 weeks later, typically in late March or April.
If you have information that might indicate the presence of nesting eagles, please download and fill out this form and send it to Bob Sargent, firstname.lastname@example.com, or Georgia Wildlife Resources Division, Nongame Conservation Section, 116 Rum Creek Drive, Forsyth, GA 31029.
