Webinar Makes a Compelling Case for MTConnect
MTConnect is an industry standard that specifies a protocol for data communication between machine tools and other manufacturing equipment or systems. Mazak is an early adopter of MTConnect and a strong proponent of its benefits to improve overall equipment efficiency. A recent webinar sponsored by Mazak details how MTConnect can serve as a complete communications standard for an entire manufacturing facility.
Neil Desrosiers, applications engineer/developer for Mazak (Florence, Kentucky) recently presented a webinar entitled "MTConnect—Downstream Applications to Increase Productivity and Competitiveness." I attended the webinar and found it to be a superb discussion of this important industry standard. MTConnect is an open-source, royalty-free manufacturing protocol that easily connects shopfloor devices and systems to capture and share information in a common format such as XML. A recording of the webinar is now available for viewing at any time.
Neil does a fine job of introducing MTConnect and clearly outlining how it functions as a plug-and-play networking platform for manufacturing applications. Although he focuses on how MTConnect can improve utilization of Mazak equipment and boost productivity, he explains how the standard can be implemented on machines from any builder. MTConnect is not a Mazak product or Mazak technology, but rather an industry-wide development that can benefit any equipment supplier or end user.
I found Neil's discussion of dynamic scheduling to be particularly interesting. Dynamic scheduling is a concept by which machine tools use MTConnect-compliant systems to automatically communicate with a shop scheduling system to adjust job assignments on a continual basis. In other words, machines will decide for themselves what parts to machine based on their capabilities and current scheduling priorities.
The recorded webinar lasts about one hour and includes the question and answer session at the end.

I'm also a HUGE fan of using a frame of open brood in the capture box to anchor the swarm. Haven't lost a captured one yet when I've done that. Peaking into an empty capture box that you busted your butt to get a swarm in it the day before is worse than a sting in the lip.
Moots, swarms are fun, especially when you travel like that and fight traffic then when you get there the people say they just flew away about 5 minutes ago!!
I really thought they would go in the hive on their own since I saw the queen go in.

The game will employ many sandbox elements. Intention is to push limits of what the players have been experiencing in this type of the game in the past.
The game will also contain a number of mini-games, that will be available for play both in-game, and on alternative mediums, such as Web, Smart Phones, and Tablets.
- fully customizable characters (animation, morphing, shading and texturing)
- customizable abilities (create and share your own abilities)
- true crafting system (recipes are not hard-coded in the engine, they're shareable)
- customizable world (including morphing and texturing)
- competitive pvp, and world pvp
- mini-games, that offer alternative gameplay with leveling rewards (for example racing, chess, texas-holdem, with weekly tournamens and in-game rewards)
- no server downtime
- dynamic screen-lag management
- dynamic network lag management
Allegra will have 10 races for players to choose from, each with male and female gender. Gender differences will be just visual, no effect on the stats. Within each race, players will have ability to tweak and customize character shape and color.
Although certain starting stats will vary depending on the race, all sides will have equal distribution of possibilities. During character creation, players will chose the side, race, class, and then customize appearance of the character. Customization will be based on real time morphing, rather than picking a preset from selection. You will shape the body of your character, paint the skin, shape the hair and paint the hair. Or, just pick from one of the presets.
Depending on the race you selected, some of the slider bars will have limited range, to ensure your character stays within its genetic look. For example, tall races will not be able to be too short. Skin and hair color will also have allowed ranges depending on the race.
To allow for further customization during character creation, alternative character creation tool will be provided. In this version player has complete freedom of morphs/colors, and at the end they are advised which (if any) races are possible, depending on what ranges your creation conforms to.
If none are possible, player will be allowed to enter the world and play as an 'outsider', neutral side. Later in game, outsiders must choose one of the mainstream sides to ally with. As certain characteristics of 'outsiders' become popular, we will start identifying these as separate - new - races. This mechanism allows players to 'vote' towards establishment of a new race.
Class roles will be important in Allegra, within the 4 archetypes - tanks, healers, dps, and support.
8 main classes will fill those roles. From there, depending on the way your character masters the secrets of the world of Allegra, you will have ability to further change your character into any of the other 3 directions.
We are developing real action-based combat system, where aiming is not a mere 'lock on target'. It will be possible to miss your target, and your enemy will have the chance to avoid your incoming attack, by moving out of the way. Naturally, you can swing your weapon or shoot your arrow into ground or a tree, no automatic-target locking will be possible.
Your aiming skills will affect not just the chance to hit or miss your target, it will also affect damage bonuses, depending on where you hit the target. Your character stats will further affect your chances of such additional damage.
For example, a head-shot will have very high chance to do critical damage and cripple your foe.
Sneaking up on someone and firing from a great distance, to miss, will already alert the enemy by hitting the nearby wall or a tree, or the sound of the arrow flying.
Allegra is set in a massive open world. Every single landscape you can see is there for you to reach and explore. Our Massive Server will be providing all players access to one such world -- without the need to subdivide players per "server" or "realm". There is no player limit.
To manage overcrowding, areas may be split into channels, and players will have some ability to switch channels, in order to join players they intended to play with. In most cases, our Massive Server will manage this without the need of players to manually switch channels. For example, players in your party will stay in the same channel. Players from your guild, will stay in the same channel.
As players progress in the game, they will gain ability to purchase land. Player will be able to customize this area themselves, modify terrain, rearrange objects (trees, rocks, rivers, bridges, etc), and even design their own architecture.
Upon this new land NPCs will adapt to the new landscape and continue their usual life.
In Allegra, every player will have ability to leave their own mark on the game landscape and gameplay.
Players, as they progress with the traditional aspects of the game-play, will start gaining access to customize and create their own real-estate, in a persistent world. They will gain access to place NPCs, modify terrain, place props, create quest chains.
They will be able to design house layouts and build these props. Advanced gameplay will include scripting (via LUA), 3D and 2D art creation and upload (via similar-to-sandbox tools), Advanced GUI/HUD customization will be available via actionscript and scaleform.
Sharing these areas of gameplay via social media will open doors to new players.
Player created content will be community self administered via voting and ratings. We'll provide these systems.

:eek I CANT FIND A WAY TO DO IT! ARRGH!!!
Printable View
:eek I CANT FIND A WAY TO DO IT! ARRGH!!!
thats why i bought mine!!!:lol
Me too!:cheers
that wa sa fun conventin last weekend man good pics too!:skull
and my gauntlets are kinda not move accurate worth anything,i dont want them to look like the movies but,i need to add my own flare to them,as they are plain as of now.
Fine then, Where can I buy Some?
You can make the superior part of the guantlets in wood and the inferior part in PVC. The results are very good looking but you do it with pasion :)
PD: You go to do the Templates with Images, is also dificulty but is interesant.
Good lucky
I have scratch built all my costume except for the gauntlets. Forget it mate and just buy a set, otherwise you will never finish your costume.
you can make em. done it. the results though... are much less than my beautiful ruffkins. Do you have a dremel? You need a dremel. get two freakishly large plastic cups. Yes big enough to wear as guantlets. Those are your base. cut off the ends the split each lengthwise use industrial velcro so they will one and close.
get legos YES legoes and bondo. use sone epoxy to glue on the legoes as build up for the lumps on each guantlets. Use pics from the forums. go over the whole thing with bondo light layers as it will heat up some and if you have too thin of glasses they will become very mallable at this point. to go over the legoes and smooth out your surfaces. sand and repeat.
strip out the pen tips from severaly pens carefully drill holes to put in right guantlet you paint the pen tips silver and put them in last.
once the guants are sanded prime them. paint silver. use mustart to mask them and paint you desired color then the little bit of black to weather THen put in your darts.
The right dart launcher I bought from Asok the rest of the kit I got as spare ruffkin parts out of the cargo bay they are ruffkin parts and are thye missle and flame thrower.
BUT I largely recommend buying what your guants mine take 4 hours to finish when I get a ruffkin kit ( wo putting in hinges).Yes that's painted
Good Explication skirata.
I was going to make mine but after looking into it. making some will cost just as much as buying some if not more and even then they wont look nearly as good as a professionally made set. before just jumping on the rufkin band wagon, you should check with different makers for size differences. Rufkins are beautiful but if they don't fit right they look kinda out of place.
Hello This is my left gauntlet in wood. This version is for a Jango Fett in Open seasons II:
Have Good Look? I'm 14 years old and is very dificulty for my make this. and the money... More XD
If you're doing a custom, they don't have to look exactly like Jango's or Boba's; they can be virtually any type of gauntlet.
Exactly, my gauntlet is a modification from Jango Fett because my costume is from Jango 10 years ago.
hello none of you have really anserwed his question where do you buy them!!!!!!!!!!!!!:angry
Kit....calm down.
First of all, welcome to the board!
Secondly, this thread is a bit out-dated (previous post was 2006). His question was how to make them, not where to buy them, and some options were discussed by other members.
Thirdly, if you want to buy gauntlets, check the Cargo Hold. Occasionally, a set will show up for sale.
And finally, try out the Search function. There are a few members who can guide you to reputable sellers.
Good luck!

Mega Millions helping many dream of a green Christmas
By JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent | December 16. 2013 8:39PM
12/16/13--Mary Jane Gagnon of Hooksett buys Mega Millions tickets from Pramod Nyaupane at Bunny's Superette in Manchester on Monday. DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER
The $586 million at stake in tonight's Mega Millions drawing qualifies as a big jackpot.
In fact, it's the second largest jackpot in the game's 17-year history and it has many New Hampshire players dreaming of a green Christmas.
A winner who chooses the one-time cash option would take home an estimated $316.5 million before taxes.
"Ticket sales for Mega Millions are off the charts as this jackpot continues to roll higher. There has even been some discussion that this jackpot could top the previous record of $656 million. Best bet is to get out there early today and tomorrow and buy a few tickets. We're hoping to make a New Hampshire Mega Millions player the next big jackpot winner," said Charlie McIntyre, executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery.
Ticket sales in New Hampshire have been on the increase since before last Friday's drawing.
"It's been crazy. People are coming in and buying a bunch of them. People would come in and buy 20 or 30. We had people buying 100 at a time," said Victor Borysenko, an employee at DW Highway Mobil in Merrimack.
With the jackpot so high and the cost of a ticket only $1, Carter said, "Instead of buying one they'll do five."
"They always make promises that they'll be back," she said.
Carter said she'll probably buy one ticket, but she doesn't have a plan on how to spend the money if she wins.
A 30-year-old waitress from Exeter, Megan Palmer has teamed up with some former coworkers in hopes of getting rich.
Palmer would have to split the money with about 20 others, but she'd still have enough to buy a new house and travel.
Palmer would also give some money to charity.
"My feeling is the money would be great, but it would also have its challenges," said Jim Fellows of Exeter.
Winning the Mega Millions would certainly be one way to help feed those in need.

3 Minute Read
It's the end of the month, so you've probably been looking at your budget (or lack thereof) and already had a spat with your spouse. You think he's restricting the family's use of money; you think she doesn't care about the numbers. You want to pay off the last credit card; she wants to take a spontaneous weekend road trip.
Disagreements over the budget are normal. The key for working through them and coming out alive is learning how your different views on money can complement one another.
There's no denying that men and women look at money differently. Typically, one spouse is a nerd and the other is a free spirit when it comes to the budget.
The money class that will change your life!Get Started
Nerds enjoy putting together the monthly budget and calculating the numbers. They like that it gives them control, and they feel like they are taking care of their loved ones. Free spirits don't want to have anything to do with the numbers and tend to "forget" about a budget. They may feel controlled or not cared for and appear irresponsible to the nerd. This can be a dangerous combination that leads to problems in your money and your marriage.
Thankfully, there are ways to work around these problems. The number-one cause of divorce in America is money fights. But when couples learn to agree on their money and are determined not to let it drive them apart, they form a unity that is crucial for a successful marriage.
The challenge in a marriage is to work through the different identities, ideals and values you each bring to the relationship. You win at marriage by losing your need to get your way in every battle. You get a happy marriage by giving up selfish desires in order to win together—you create shared visions and goals out of your own individual goals!
That's why it's important that both spouses be involved with creating the monthly budget. The partner with the natural gift can prepare the budget, but the decision-making must be done by both of you.
When you sit down with your spouse to have a budget committee meeting, there are three rules that each of you must follow.

Remember that opposites tend to attract in marriage, so work together for maximum wisdom. When you have a budget that reflects both of your goals and ideals, you will experience fabulous unity in your marriage.
Dave's powerful class, Financial Peace University, is perfect for couples to strengthen their communication about money—even if they're not in debt. Dave even focuses an entire lesson on how we relate with money in different ways. Angie in Iowa had this to say about her experience:
"Almost every class helped us to look at our finances in a totally different way. It answered questions that we had in the past but were probably too embarrassed to ask. For the first time in 15 years of marriage, we are on the exact same page with our finances. This class has truly been a blessing to our marriage and our family."
This can be you! Financial Peace University classes are starting right now, so find one in your area!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|All of the bellhousing bolts were quite loose, so i pulled them and replaced them with new grade 8 bolts and lock washers. It has been almost two weeks since changing the filter, and the sound has not come back. Thanks for the help guys.
|It could be causing alignment issues. Also make sure the alignment Dowel Pins in the Block are there. 1 on each side.
Yes, i meant flexplate to crank bolts. I decided not to pull the tranny yet, but instead replaced the filter and so far (day two) the sound has not come back. But i did find 3 or 4 very thin aluminum shavings, as well as a gray film in the bottom of the pan mixed with lots of gold colored 'dust'.
I noticed yesterday that i am missing one bolt to the bellhousing, and there is a small gap between the bellhousing and block on the passenger side (1/8"). Can this be the cause of the issues i am experiencing?
Flexplate to Converter bolts are the same as TC bolts. Did you intend to say Flexplate to Crank bolts?
If the TC was wobbling the TC nose may have been rubbing the rear of the Crank. Could also cause Trans Pump, Seal & Bushing damage.
T-400 intermittent squeak rattle in park and drive
hello everybody. i posted a question before on hotrodders, and got some awesome help. so thankful for this site.
i've got a new problem, this time with my transmission. (i think)
I have an '85 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4. engine is a 402. tranny is a th400 that works great aside from being a little slow to go into reverse, and a slight leak from the the pump o-ring. (i think)
Here's the problem: When i start my truck, after the temp sensor on the block hits 150 +-, i hear what can only be described as a squeak/rattle. (sounds like a spun bearing almost, but it is very 'chirpy'.) It is intermittent, and usually goes away a couple of minutes after the thermostat opens up. the sound occurs in park, while the engine is at a fast idle, and also occurs in drive while at any speed, but goes away when i increase rpm's. The sound is definitely coming from the front of the transmission as determined by the screwdriver to ear test.
i call it a squeak/rattle, because it seems squeak more when going over rough patches in the road. again, the transmission seems to work fine, but the sound is getting louder, and i am beginning to notice a vibration while accelerating uphill. (no vibration apparent upon release of gas pedal.)
also, the torque converter has a bit of a wobble to it, which it has had ever since i bought the truck two and a half years ago.
One more thing to add: the other day it rained, and i drove in the rain, thoroughly wetting my undercarriage. The sound went away, and did not occur again for a couple of days. This caused me to think it is something external, but perhaps the humidity did something? I live in the dry desert of southern new mexico.
Sorry for all the words, but i have been searching hi and lo on many forums, and am about to pull the tranny, but just thought i'd put my problem out there.
I have tightened the flexplate to converter bolts, which were a little loose. i did not see any cracks. i have a suspicion that my TC bolts may be loose, thus causing the wobble?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

2003 Toyota Prius Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2003 Toyota Prius based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The center multi-function display may stop working. This is commonly caused by a poorly soldered internal connection on the display circuit board. These display panels can be successfully repaired or reconditioned by a shop specializing in such repairs so it helps to investigate further.
The fuel gauge may read incorrectly. Our technicians tell us there is a recalibration procedure which should be performed to correct this issue.
The hybrid transmission may fail prematurely. Our technicians recommend changing the transmission fluid every 30K miles in order to help prolong transmission life. There is a small square pan on the bottom of the transmission which should be removed to allow more fluid to drain. This service recommendation is over and above the Toyota recommendation to "check" the transmission fluid every 30k miles.
The high voltage hybrid battery may develop corrosion of the electrical harness resulting in premature failure. Our technicians tell us the hybrid battery must be replaced to correct this issue.
Starting difficulties may develop, mostly noted if the car has been parked for several days. Toyota has changed the 12v battery size specification to help correct this concern. Our technicians tell us the battery tray will need to be replaced to accommodate the larger battery
A no start or loss of power issue may develop if debris falls into the mass air flow sensor when changing or inspecting the air filter. Care should be taken when changing of replacing the air filter in order to avoid this issue.
Premature tire wear is an concern due to the soft rubber compounds specified for original equipment tires. Our technicians tell us that most owners have changed to better wearing tires but fuel mileage has suffered as a result.
The fuel tank used a unique liner which has caused trouble in some vehicles. If problems occur with the fuel tank liner the fuel tank must be replaced.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Before you undergo external beam radiation therapy, your health care team guides you through a planning process to ensure that radiation reaches the precise spot in your body where it's needed. Planning typically includes:
Radiation simulation. During simulation, your radiation therapy team works with you to find a comfortable position for you during treatment.
It's imperative that you lie still during treatment, so finding a comfortable position is vital. To do this, you'll lie on the same type of table that's used during radiation therapy. Cushions and restraints are used to position you in the right way and to help you hold still.
Your radiation therapy team will mark the area of your body that will receive the radiation. Depending on your situation, you may receive temporary marking with a marker or you may receive small permanent tattoos.
After the planning process, your radiation therapy team decides what type of radiation and what dose you'll receive based on your type and stage of cancer, your general health, and the goals for your treatment.
The precise dose and focus of radiation beams used in your treatment is carefully planned to maximize the radiation to your cancer cells and minimize the harm to surrounding healthy tissue.

Also I don't want stat distribution if there are stat requirements for wearing gear since that takes away the entire point for me.

'"Nothing's coming from this side," McKee said. "The ball's in their court. Hearing Bill Daly's comments that he's trying to put something together that would be workable for both sides is where the small amount of optimism lies. Things certainly don't look good, and after Trevor's meetings they look terrible, possibly the worst that it's ever looked. But you just have to hold out hopes (the owners) put out one more offer that's worth looking at."'

|School of Business Student Takes Full Advantage of Opportunities
|From internships and studying abroad, to student clubs and organizations, Jackelyn Branco '14, has made the most of her time on campus.
Students in the School of Business have various ways to get involved and Jackie Branco, a Business Administration and Accounting double major, with a concentration in Finance, is just one example. Jackie is a member of Beta Alpha Psi and is President Elect for the upcoming academic year. She is using her double major and applying that in her role as VP of Finance for Deans' Hosts as well as a junior analyst in the Core Trading Consultants (CTCs).
You can find Jackie walking the halls with prospective students and their families as a member of the school's tour guides or in the classroom as a TA for Legal Environment of Business. Outside of the Business School, Jackie is a tutor for financial accounting with Academic Enrichment Services.
Jackie traveled to China last summer in the study abroad program with Professor Movassaghi and is currently working on obtaining an internship in China for this summer. She also attended the spring and fall networking trips to New York City to meet the firms.
"My study abroad experience with the School of Business program was a life changing experience and the NYC trips were such a great way to meet and network with alumni." said Branco. More travel included multiple Beta Alpha Psi professional events and the regional conference in Virginia this spring.
Jackie has completed internships at ROI Broadcasting and at Hoffmann - La Roche, in the drug management department. "I was able to use some of the skills I learned in the classroom, and apply them to the real-working world. Previously, the company didn't have an efficient way to track clinical trial material returns, and I was able to create Excel templates that easily let us match the drug shipment returns. I attribute my success to the Business Systems and Technology class." said Jackie.
She also took advantage of the opportunity to take the Bloomberg Assessment test on campus, which after passing the exam, was invited to the Bloomberg headquarters in NYC for a networking event with recruiters from Citigroup, Bloomberg and Deutsche Bank.
Next year, Jackie is planning to attend graduate school at Ithaca College.


text: My bees are located very near our house. At night I see a few of my worker bees flying around the fluorescent lights in our living room. They seem to be attracted to the light. If I switch off the lights they fly away but as soon as the light gets turned on, they come back. Sometimes they find another source of light like the television or kitchen lights. I don't really know how they get inside the house because all the windows are closed at night. Somehow they are able to find an entrance like a hole or something and feast their eyes on the fluorescent lights buzzing around it. Is this normal behavior of bees?


text: I bought this a while back from someone here but I can't remember who. Sorry. And I forgot to take pics before I started again. Anyway, the pouches were made using the wooden block method but I wanted them to be functional and lighter. I started by stripping the covering off of one of the wood blocks and then using the block as a template. For the new boxes I used a 1/16" thick styrene for sale sign, obviously, and after cutting all the individual pieces out I assembled them. Then I added hinges, based on designs I saw here that 99centtaco was making (Thanks, one of these days I'll grab one of his.), to allow the lids to close. I then painted them and recovered the boxes with the material removed from the blocks. Buttons were added to three of them, and painted(they still need weathered), and Velcro was added to keep tham closed. Now I just have to try and find some matching pleather material to match for a new belt, the one they came with is unfortunately about 2" too short. I bought a bunch of the stuff on clearance a while back but none of it matches. the boxes.

The soil is poor, mainly clay with flint over a limestone subsoil. The varietals grown are Gamay, Cot (or Auxerrois, the grape of Cahors) and Sauvignon Blanc. Roussel and Barouillet keep yields low by maintaining old vines, using organic fertilizers in moderation and growing grass between and plowing under the rows.
They converted the vineyards to organic farming over the past three years and the 1995 vintage bears the official "organic agriculture" accreditation. The vines are treated with copper and sulfur solutions, and plant decoctions (a mix of nettles and other herbs) used in bio-dynamic viticulture.
Neither Catherine nor Dider has studied oenology or viticulture. They both learned their trade in the vineyards and the cellar, searching for methods and techniques to make wines of exceptional character in an appellation of modest reputation. View all Clos Roche Blanche Wines
About LoireChenin Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Blanc. For reds, Cabernet Franc takes center stage but the region also has plantings of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The AC of Cremant de Loire is popular – these are the sparkling wines of the Loire, usually made with Chenin Blanc.
Notable FactsAs for which grapes you find in which regions… Starting on the Atlantic Coast and moving east - Muscadet hails from the region of the same name, within the larger Nantes district, right on the Atlantic coast. The wines are dry, citrusy and pleasant, but rarely powerful or intensely aromatic. Just inland from Nantes is Anjou-Samur, home to Savennières, an excellent source of dry Chenin Blanc. To the east is Touraine, where you'll find the popular white region of Vouvray - Chenin Blanc shines in Vouvray, which can be dry, off-dry or sweet – the majority of those found in the states are a lovely and food-friendly off-dry. In the same district, Cabernet Franc makes delicious, delicate and elegant reds from Bourguil and Chinon. Finally, in the Upper Loire area, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé turn out Sauvignon Blancs of razor sharp acidity and minerality.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Green Bay Drops Championship Match Heartbreaker
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
INDIANAPOLIS (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Squaring off in the Horizon League Tournament championship for the third-straight year, top-seeded Green Bay and second-seeded Cleveland State played a dramatic title match on Sunday morning at West Indy Racquet Club. The thrilling contest went the distance before the Vikings defeated the defending champion Phoenix, 4-3.
Things were closely contested from the start, with the doubles point coming down to the No. 3 doubles match between Green Bay's Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) and Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) and Cleveland State's Jorg van der Vloet and Joe VanMeter. Green Bay led 5-2, but the Vikings rallied to win six of the next seven games and steal the crucial doubles point.
Freshman Howard Scott (Exeter, England) and sophomore Michael Tebon (Excelsior, Minn.) earned an 8-4 victory at No. 2 doubles while seniors Erik Finkenbrink (Duelmen, Germany) and Craig Cox (Surrey, England) fell at No. 1 doubles, 8-4.
Freshman Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) evened the match at 1-1 by winning his No. 5 singles match in convincing fashion, 6-2, 6-1. After Cox fell 6-3, 7-6 (4) in a hard-fought match at No. 3 singles, freshman Rowan Isaacs (London, England) tied the team score with a 6-2, 6-4 victory at No. 6 singles.
CSU's van der Vloet dealt Tenzer, the Horizon League Player of the Year, his first loss against a league opponent this season at No. 1 singles, winning 6-4, 6-2 to put the Vikings ahead 3-2.
Finkenbrink won in straight sets at No. 2 singles, beating Matt Kuelker 7-5, 6-2 to set the stage for the match to be decided at No. 4 singles.
Scott lost the opening set 6-2 and trailed 5-4 in set number two. The freshman saved a match point before rallying to win the last three games and force a third and final set. Cleveland State sophomore Niklas Jonsson broke Scott's serve at 3-3 and won the next two games to capture the Vikings' fifth title in the past six seasons.
Guided by Horizon League Coach of the Year Mark Thomas, Green Bay ends its season at 17-7 overall and with the first regular season conference title in program history.

text: I am looking for someone to mold some urethane pieces for me. I guess they could be some sort of rubber. They are actually fender flares for 74-78 mustangs. The originals were made from urethane, and I have one of the orignals, along with some fiberglass pieces that were molded from the orignals. The fiberglass pieces do not work, because they have no flexability. If I could somehow get urethane or rubber ones molded from the fiberglass ones. If someone out there could do this, I could introduce a large market for them if the price was right.

a) USB Hub
b) USB Mouse
c) USB Keyboard
d) Sitecom "W353" USB 802.11n Wireless Card
e) Realtek RTL8188S drivers for 10.4 Intel from the Realtek website
f) Tiger 10.4.11 Combo Updater Image
g) Pacifist (to extract sw from installer images)
First, You only need an interest in this mod if you lost wireless when you removed the internal Wifi card to replace it with a Broadcom CrystalHD card.
Second, Your AppleTV is already moderately hacked and I assume that you already have SSH access, nitoTV installed (including the 'software setup' that adds a bunch of useful/essential stuff back into the OS) and XBMC (of course!). You will be competent at copying files to the right places on an AppleTV.
Third, I'm writing this up after several extended 'fiddling' sessions to get everything working and there has been enough trial and error involved that I probably glossed over a few small details in the write-up, but the core information is here.
Fourth, I know there are other ways to extract stuff from installer files without Pacifist (e.g. install it on another Mac, copy the files, then uninstall) but I have Pacifist and I used it. End of discussion..
Fifth, this exact process isn't going to work with every flavour of WiFi card out there. It works with THIS ONE. End of discussion..
Here goes:
Use Pacifist to extract the RTL8192SUt.kext and "Wireless Network Utility.app" files from the Realtek installer package. Copy the kext to /System/Library/Extensions on the AppleTV and the utility app to /Users/frontrow/Applications. Extract a version of IONetworkingFamily.kext from the 10.4.11 combo updater and copy it to /System/Library/Extensions. Other 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 combo images may also work, but I used 10.4.11.
Set permissions on the files you copied:
PHP Code:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/RTL8192SUt.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/RTL8192SUt.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext
edit /etc/rc.local to include a new line that loads the RTL8192SUt.kext and IONetworkingFamily.kext file on future reboots. nitoTV will have set Turbo's kextloader as the first line in the file. I've appended the RTL kext to the end of the file and placed the IONetworking kext after other IOXxxxx kexts mid-way in the load list.
Manually load the RTL8192SUt.kext; in the command below -v shows verbose output:
PHP Code:
sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/RTL8192SUt.kext
You should see the kext checked for dependencies and assuming all is good the kext will load and you'll see a long on-screen list of device "personalitites" that are now available to the kernel. The Sitecom W353 USB 80211.n card is burried somewhere in the list. It's worth noting that although this is a wireless USB card the driver adds it as a standard NIC so none of the wireless utilities in the OS that arre designed for official Apple hardware, e.g. the 'airport' cli command, will work.
Using nitoTV's software add-ons function install the "MouseLocator" software ..this is essential for being able to see the mouse on-screen for the rest of the config. Now plug the mouse, keyboard, and USB wireless card into the hub, and plug the hub into the single USB port on the back of the AppleTV.
Using nitoTV open "System Preferences.app" and click on the Network icon. On opening it should announce a new network interface, and depending on what else you've done to your AppleTV recently it will probably be named en2 (by default en0 is fixed ethernet and en1 was the original wifi card). Use the show: drop-down to display network port configurations and make sure en2 is selected. Now drag/drop en2 to the top of the list so "Built-in Ethernet" is below it in the list. If you need to manually set an IP address, configure en2 with the relevant information, otherwise leave it set for DHCP.
Navigate back to the main System Preferences menu. Now go to Accounts > Select 'frontrow' > Login Items. Create a new login item for "Wireless Network Utility.app" in /Users/frontrow/Applications/ and tick the box to 'hide' the application. This ensures the wireless utility is run on startup - if it is not run on startup, the wireless card does not join the network and the wireless interface is not "up" and nothing works. Once done, quit System Preferences. If it doesn't quit (possibly) use the remote to get back.
Using nitoTV open "Wireless Network Utility.app" and create a profile for the WLAN you want to use - use the mouse and keyboard to navigate and enter details as required. You may see an error message about ensuring the device is enabled in Network Control Panel, click okay if you see it. Once you have the profile created the card should join the WLAN and you'll see signal strength and other values. Close the app - if it doesn't quit (probably) use the menu button the on the Apple remote to navigate back to the nitoTV applications menu.
Edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist on the AppleTV to swap en2 to en0 (and vice versa). You're looking for the following lines:
PHP Code:
<key>BSD Name</key>
<string>en2</string> <=change
<integer>2</integer> <=change
and you're going to change it to:
PHP Code:
<key>BSD Name</key>
<string>en0</string> <=changed
<integer>0</integer> <=changed
Perform the reverse to the other interface, so en0 becomes en2 and en2 becomes en0. The Apple GUI is hardcoded to see en0 as the internet fixed network interface and if en0 is down it defaults to the wireless interface on en1 (which is missing). By editing this file to make the USB wireless card en0 the Settings > General > Network screen will show the "ethernet" IP address information correctly.
reboot the AppleTV
If all is well you will see the Wireless Network Utility open early in the boot process, and you'll see it join the network you configured a profile for, and then you'll see Apple's fancy opening video sequence. Once the AppleTV GUI has loaded you can check Settings > General > Network and you should see a "fixed network" with IP address information. In the top level of the Apple GUI you should be able to see Yahoo, Flickr, iTMS links etc. listed, i.e. networking is working. If you don't.. something didn't go okay ..start by using the Wireless Utility to ensure the card is active.
For bonus credit: Fiddling with the network configuration appears to bork the original Bonjour/ZeroConf name for the AppleTV and "AppleTV" gets changed to "AppleTV-<MAC_ADDRESS>" for the new en0 interface. This can be reset by opening "System Preferences.app" via nitoTV, clicking on "Sharing" and then entering "AppleTV" as the computer name again. Once that's done you can unplug the Keyboard and Mouse from the hub. On the next reboot you can unplug the hub and insert the wireless card directly into the AppleTV.
So far watching 720p and the limited amount of 1080p content I posess in XBMC streamed from a elderly JBOD NAS has been okay, no network issues and only a small number of "buffering..." instances, which is something I see over Ethernet occasionally as well. Time will tell if it's a successful mod, but for now all appears okay and I'm a happy camper

Im one of the unlucky people who got their second time chicken pox few days ago
First one i had when i was around 7 and now getting it at 22.
What bout you guys?

Uhm.... you can only have it once... So you probably never had it before, lol.
That sucks! I only got it once, and that was back in grade 4. Some guy got it from his cousin, and it spread to the rest of our class.
Right now, there's a confirmed case of the measles at our school, so everyone's getting vaccinated and whatnot.
My mum had it twice too rofl

btw, another thing that shows he most likely doesn't have it, is the effect chicken pox have on someone in his 20's or even later. One of those is a fever. There is a reason that back in the 1800 that parents would get their children close to someone that has it, cause it's just too dangerous the older you get.
never had it but i got bit by some kind of bug this morning so my arm is kind of itchy. same thing, right?
Unlucky? Hell! I get them every time I get the chance.
It's my favorite thing on the KFC menu.A generous serving of our creamy mashed potatoes, layered with sweet corn, bite-sized pieces of our crispy chicken, drizzled with our signature home-style gravy and top it off with a shredded cheese.
Just once but when I had it my dad got it a second time. Dunno if there's any genetic predisposition to it....hope mot.
I had chicken pox twice as a child. I first had it in the first grade and I had it again in the third grade. School nurse was astounded by it.

'Piss Christ' returns to New York along with 'Piss Moses'
posted at 11:01 am on September 27, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Midtown Manhattan has been the scene of much religious reflection and blasphemy of late. One act of solemn reflection took place at the 140-year-old Central Synagogue on 55th Street, where Jews assembled on Wednesday to observe Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. While they prayed, a few blocks away a man who has called the state of Israel a "malignant cancer" prayed as well—for their and its destruction. In his speech before the United Nations General Assembly (video here), outgoing Iranian "President" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked God to bring "a new order" that "will do away with … everything that distances us." If the intent wasn't clear enough, he later explained in an interview with the Associated Press that he expects that Israel will soon become an "historical footnote."
Today the blaspheming continues at the Edward Tyler Nahem Gallery on 57th Street, where the state-sponsored "artwork" Piss Christ goes on display for a month. The work, in case you missed the controversy that swirled around its debut in 1987, consists of a photograph of a crucifix floating in the artist's urine.
The week has been noteworthy not only for its anti-religious acts but for the conspicuous inaction on the part of those whose faiths were defiled. Jews chose not react to Ahmadinejad's incendiary remarks by storming the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations in New York or by burning the Islamic flag in the streets of Manhattan. Christians did not fire bomb the D.C. headquarters of the National Endowment for the Arts, the government agency that funded the creation of Piss Christ, or demand that its artist, Andres Serrano, be "cut up into little pieces" (the fate suggested by one Muslim protester for the maker of the anti-Islamic film).
One more act of religious reflection was a speech on Tuesday by President Obama, also at the U.N. In it he observed:
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims and Shiite pilgrims.
This effort at rubbing an all-purpose balm on the "hurt religious feelings" (to borrow a phrase from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo) of practitioners of all faiths fails on a number of fronts. James Taranto has a spot-on analysis of the problems inherent in this sweeping apples-and-oranges pronouncement for those interested in pursuing it further.
But the best way to see the folly of Obama's outreach and its disconnect with reality is through a litmus test of sorts proposed by Mario Loyola at National Review Online:
Find an enterprising young artist willing to create a 'Piss Mohammed' version of Serrano's work, and ask the museum to hang it right next to the Piss Christ. It could be part of a 'Piss Religion' exhibit. If the gallery declines (as it surely would), then perhaps one could gather together a small group of Manhattan atheists to march 'piss portraits' of Mohammed and his fellow deities/prophets right up 1st Avenue past the United Nations, in homage to the First Amendment.
Every last person who complains will have to explain why they said nothing during the 20-plus years that the revolting Piss Christ has been touring art galleries around the world. They will be forced either to treat Islam and Christianity the same (i.e., stop trashing the latter) or finally admit the cowardly truth, which is that their degree of respect for any given religion is proportional to its proponents's [sic] propensity for violence.
The same test could be easily applied to putative remarks along the lines of Ahmadinejad's screed that disparages Islam in like fashion and calls for wiping Mecca off the map.

We'll be on time!
I was just coming to see how long the delay was going to be.
Phil will once again be tweeting during the East coast broadcast of the show.
I want Pa to scale that mountain tonight. Do. Not. Come. In. Last.
On time here in Florida, but I know there's some other parts in the Eastern/Central time zones that are delayed about 20 minutes.
Mystery couple! No idea who these people are.
On time here in NC! Yay!
Can these people not read? Phuket = Bucket?????
Ooh was someone wishing for airport finagling?
Hmmm....the later flight might be ahead if they don't have to go to Bangkok first.
If they're not sure how to say it, Pucket is safer than the alternative.
loving the taxi drivers this season!
Go Ma and Pa!
Team Who part two!
I liked that the guys all took a risk; too bad it didn't pay off.
why didn't the first 2 teams book their itineraries all the way through? Such a stupid mistake. At the very least get a flight guaranteed and then when you're at your connecting city, look for something better. for the bottom 6 teams for booking all the way to Phuket!
It wouldn't hurt my feelings if DadZac went tonight. I really need ma and pa to make it.
Boarders will do fine, but I see big problems for the others with the coral reef building. That current is pretty strong.
Did they maybe change the rule back to once you have your flight you have to take it (like season1). In that case it was a decent gamble, but it obviously didn't work out.
There are people who still come on the Amazing Race who haven't taken swimming lessons? Really?
Did any of them make the coral reef task except the Boarders? Who did it in 13 minutes.
I would have picked the chair option unless my partner was an amazing swimmer!
i'm worried for the twins.
Sandy should shove that umbrella up Jeremy's rear.
Tommy and Andy smoked everybody else! They must be an hour ahead.
Go Jennifer!
That rock climb looks pretty tough too.. really physically demanding leg.
The Bickersons did very well this leg! at Phil imitating The Look by She Bickerson.
I love the Boarders.
And Marcus is funny. I hope he and his wife make it to the finals. Come on Ma and Pa get your buts to the rock climb.
The boarders really are impressive. I can see some teams struggling with that. Good for Jennifer too.
I think the twins might have a nervous breakdown. And now Ernie/Cyndi are lost.
Interesting that the twins are "ocean lifeguards" and didn't choose the task that involved swimming...
"The wives are coming on the trips with us" - when the boarders got their prize.
I loved that quote. Apparently they were just going to go together, rather than split the up and go with their wife. Haha
I like the boarders, but I really don't want to see them stomp all over the competition. It's going to get really boring for me if they're winning every single leg all season long.
The Boarders are excellent racers: they pay attention to the clues and have handled the physical tasks with ease. And they're having a ball.
Mr. Navigate around the world is lost
Come on PA. You rock.
AWWWWGGGGHHHHHH a NEL I wanted to make up points.

After getting swept in a MAAC series for the first time since the 2007 season, the Canisius baseball team responded this weekend by completing its first-ever three-game sweep of Manhattan College at Van Cortlandt Park, holding off the Jaspers 8-5 in Riverdale, N.Y. on Sunday afternoon.
The Golden Griffins extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games, improving to 27-10 on the season and 7-5 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Canisius is the first MAAC team to sweep a three-game series at Van Cortlandt Park since Le Moyne in 2007.
Junior Jimmy Luppens was 2-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk while junior Ronnie Bernick went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI while hitting his second homer of the season. Freshman Anthony Massicci scored two runs for the Griffs while sophomore Connor Panas had two RBI.
Manhattan (16-21, 6-9 MAAC) scored first for the third time in the series, getting an infield single from Yoandry Galan in the bottom of the second. Sophomore Devon Stewart then buckled down on the mound for the Griffs, not allowing a batter to get past second base in the next five innings, facing one batter over the minimum in that stretch.
Canisius would score in four consecutive innings to take the lead and then grab control. With one out in the fourth, Massicci was hit by a pitch while Luppens and junior Jesse Kelso drew consecutive walks to load the bases. A sacrifice fly from sophomore Jesse Puscheck tied the game at 1-1. In the fifth, sophomore Mike Booth reached on a one-out single, and Bernick followed with a homer to right to give Canisius a 3-1 lead.
Luppens led off the sixth with a single, advanced to second on a passed ball and moved to third on a groundout. A pinch-hit double from junior Shane Zimmer scored Luppens, and Zimmer would move to third on a wild pitch. A sacrifice fly from Panas put the Griffs up by five. Canisius broke the game open in the seventh, starting with Bernick being hit by a pitch. After the junior moved to second on a wild pitch, Massicci scored Bernick with an RBI single and took the extra base on the throw home. Luppens followed with an RBI single to make it 7-1. A single from Kelso and walk to Zimmer loaded the bases, with a bases-loaded walk to Panas forcing home Luppens and giving the Griffs a seven-run advantage.
After scoring once in the bottom of the eighth, Manhattan rallied in the bottom of the ninth and brought the winning run to the plate. A two-RBI single from Ramon Ortega made it 8-5 and brought junior Jon Fitzsimmons into the game. After a walk loaded the bases, Fitzsimmons struck out Kyle Murphy to pick up his seventh save of the season and second save of the weekend.
Stewart allowed one run on six hits, walking two and striking out five in seven innings to improve to 3-4 on the year. Sophomore Eric Stolzenburg threw 1.1 innings, matching his longest outing of the season.
Canisius is scheduled to play 10 of its last 16 games at home, starting with Tuesday's game against the University of Akron. First pitch at the Demske Sports Complex is set for 3 p.m.
Notes: The seven-game winning streak is the longest for the Golden Griffins since a seven-game winning streak during the 2009 season (April 28-May 9)… Canisius swept Manhattan in a three-game series for the second time in the last four seasons (2010)… Canisius is now 17-11 against Manhattan in the last six years after going 3-25 in the previous 10 seasons… Fitzsimmons has a save in three of the last four games after recording four saves in the first 33 games of the season... Zimmer is now 3-for-5 with four RBI as a pinch hitter this season.

More About Josselyn's
Josselyn's Sawmill began as a small shingle mill in the early 1970's. After shoring up the old dairy barn, the first shingles were cut and put on the barn. Later the same building housed a portable Belsaw Sawmill, only to be replaced by a Lane #1 Mill sometime later. This was moved from the Alden Holmes property on the other side of Jefferson.
The mill has produced up to sixty log home packages per year sawing about one million board feet annually. The building boom of the 80's kept the mill hopping. Over the years the sawmill produced all logs and lumber needed for construction of the Vacation Rental Cabins called "Josselyn's Getaway". The Sawmill was disassembled in the spring of 2012.
Strangers have travelled many a mile to enjoy their 'Cabin in the Woods' with babbling brook, situated in the middle of a maple grove, famed for once winning New Hampshire's Carlisle Trophy for the best maple syrup in the state.
A warehouse and shop used for storage of building supplies adjacent to the sawmill burned in 1994. This was replaced by a wood working shop where a new endeavor producing log furniture and accessories began. This continues to grow greatly. A New Showroom has also been added where you can view various items, such as log beds, bureaus, table and chairs, wall decorations, walking sticks and our famous Attitude Adjuster. We hope you will stop by to check it out!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|You can compare the difference in "subsidies" (tax incentives) for yourself here - http://220.127.116.11/search?q=cache:...s&ct=clnk&cd=1
|Tech @ BG
|There are a ton of pro's & con's to using ethanol or E-85, or at least looking into other fuels. One thing to keep in mind with the pricing of E-85 specifically right now is that it is subsidized from the government through the farmers. Not sure how this would or could change as it becomes more of a commonly used fuel.
Another point about Ethanol...
A lot of proponents are saying that ethanol is cost effective now, because it can be made for $1.50/gallon (I've seen figures anywhere from $1.10 to $1.80).
That sounds great compared to gasoline, which in my 'hood is now around $2.11/gal.
What they forget, is that the feds are charging 18.4cents/gallon in taxes (24.4 on diesel), and my state charges 28 cents/gallon for both gasoline and gasohol (29 cents on diesel). Couldn't discover what the feds are taxing ethanol or e85 at.
So, that $2.11 gas actually could have been sold by the station (less taxes) for about $1.65. Ethanol doesn't look so competitive then, especially when you consider a gallon doesn't go as far.
Sure, if you're making it at home, you might be able to justify it, but right now, comparing wholesale gasoline to wholesale ethanol costs, it just doesn't make sense commercially.
This is a little off topic:
I'm not sure what the laws are, but I think if a bunch of gas station owners got together and started posting their gas prices before tax, with some fine print saying "plus tax" on the signs, they'd generate some real consumer awareness about how much taxes are causing the hurt at the pump.
I think most consumers assume one of two things: 1) gas is tax free (those are the dumber ones) or 2) gas is taxed at the same sales tax rate as everything else.
In my state, sales taxes are 5.5%, so gasoline is taxed more than 2x as much as everything else. When you roll in the federal taxes, its a 30% rate at today's pretax gas prices.
In my state (Ohio) we don't charge sales tax on food or medicine because they are necessities. For most of us, gasoline is just as much a necessity (good luck making a living or getting food or medicine without it), yet we're taxed through the wazoo on it.
coldknock -- bump the compression of that bike up a couple points and you'll get your 4 mpg back most likely.
The "problems" with alcohol as a fuel aren't out of reach technically. The main problem is infrastructure in the US -- it just isn't there. There are few distilleries making fuel grade alcohol. Once large scale production starts costs will start to go down, but there's only so much farm land also. So you get back into another problem. Corn isn't the answer -- sugar beets are. As someone pointed out, the higher the sugar content, the more alcohol is produced, and more importantly, it's easier to produce. Sugar cane is harder to grow than beets.
As gasoline prices rise, alternate fuels become more cost effective. As they become more cost effective, they become more attractive to industry and the consumer. When prices for gasoline reach and maintain close to $5 a gallon in today's economy, alcohol could be cost competitive. Then the infrastructure problem will start to be addressed.
With hydrogen technology coming up, mainly as fuel cells, I can see the day when rodders are running alcohol. I don't think gasoline will go away for a long time, and it's likely that as we wean ourselves off of it for regular transportation that there comes the day when it's harder to find, sort of like kerosene now (kerosene was the first big oil product way before gasoline -- that was a "useless" by product of producing kerosene in the 1800s!). You can find it, at reasonable cost, but you're not gonna find it at every station. And I'll bet that gasoline gets heavily regulated since most alternates burn cleaner. But rodders and industrial users should keep an alcohol and/or gasoline business going for quite some time. I can see the day that only off-road vehicles are allowed to run gasoline though. Not in my lifetime, but I bet the youngest guys here (16-18 years olds) get to see it before they pass on -- assuming they live to be in their 80s!
For anyone who is interested and has access to feedstock (crabapple trees, corn, whatever), you can get a permit to brew your own ethanol at home.
Its labor-intensive, but not too difficult.
There's a bunch of info here (among other places):
Any decent rodder should be able to build a still using the plans on that site (or others) with no problem.
You can find used flexfuel Chevy/GMC trucks/SUVs on ebay quite frequently.
Well, after last night's State of the Union and this article last week, I thought I would reserrect this thread. Things have changed a bunch from last September.
Maybe this is a doomsday senario. ($262/barrel oil would mean somewhere around $7.50/gallon gasoline.) However, I do believe the confontation with Iran is unavoidable and we are looking at significantly higher gas prices going forward.
I do believe E85 is the future of automobiles in America.
As an automobile enthusiast, I would like to see further development of technology and available products to aid in the conversion of old cars to E85.
I have a DIY-2A0 from www.wbo2.com. They just released one with 1MB of logging memory that I might upgrade to.
The other way might be with exhaust gas temp (EGT) which my WBO2 controler can also measure...but that is also timing (among others) dependent
I'm actually using about 10.3:1 compression, with the iron heads, I suppose it's a little on the high side. My only problem with trying to use a trial and error system with carbs is the inherrent cost of just trashing a few carbs to get the system right. So, I'm thinking about using something maybe similar to the sprint car crowd's hillborn, enderal, flying toilet, whtatever setups. The carb would also be more problematic since any holes drilled won't be the same for both sides of the carb, also, once it's plated, that in itself will add material, so you'd have to know how much overbore do do each hole.
So, if you can see a rich condition in the oil, how to you detect a more detrimental lean condition?
The problem has been that alternative fuels are either:
A) Not in abundant enough supply for the entire US to use (like Propane)
B) Previously cost more than crude.
The government could stepped in to help "B".
One good thing Bush has done is to force the use of ethanol (used to oxygenate fuels in high smog areas). I guess that means that CA and NY fuel is E2 (2% ethanol). This is also the reason that the CA gas costs more.
From searching on alt. fuel web sites there is 1 E85 station in all of CA
Hey Radracer43. You are evidently eager to burn ethanol without the high cost of a new carburetor.I am sure your 377 is a high CR engine.Do this then.Get a simple 2 barrel carby.Could be a Holley or a Motorcraft 2100.
Replace the main jets for units about 30% larger in area.Do the same to the power valve tiny holes.On a Holley they are on the metering plate.Open up also a bit more on the accelerator nozzles.Readjust your idle screws about one and a half turns more.Advance the spark some 4 degrees.Once you practice on simple carbs,do your definite ,plating it in Nickel.
That is a crude way of converting to ethanol.Was very popular here in Brasil at the beginning of our "Proalcohol" government funded revolution to avoid petroleum in the late 70s.Our automobile industry got to a point back then that almost 90% of the new cars sold were alcohol fed.None were computerized.
Do not rely much on spark plug reading.Alcohol does not colour them much.
Keep checking the oil stick.If it changes towards a beige colour you are way too rich.Change the oil and filter and lean out.Go play!
The last two posts contained references to the two largest problems, in my opinion, facing ethanol production and distribution on a national scale.
Government control and the E.P.A.
I finally got my GSXR (Frankenbike) on a dyno and discovered that the "lean" mixture that I thought I had was actually too rich. I'm not running it on E85 but pure methanol. Now my mileage has increased and I'm within 4mpg of it's original rating. So don't tell me that an alcohol engine can't be as efficient as a gas engine, well almost as efficient, I own one. I know I'm still 4mpg short but it's a 15yr old junkyard bike and I'm not an engineer. I'd like to think that if I can make it happen in my living room floor with a little help from a couple of friends that the oem's can do it as well.
Minnesota has 167 E85 stations and they are all selling very well. Cold starting must not be a very big problem anymore.
|I don't see where running something that produces virtually no hydrocarbons will violate EPA regulations, I could see where the government wouldn't like it since they don't have much control over it at this point.
Outside of the political ramifications, you existing carb will not take to E85, ethyl alcohol, well at all...In fact the alcohol will eat it up. Anodizing the aluminum will prevent that i'm told. Magnesium also will be consumed by the alcohol. Fuel injected that are E85 compatible, don't use any aluminum and there for it isn't a problem. Stainless Steel is highly recommended although Teflon coated steel will suffice for fuel lines.
Alcohol doesn't vaporized/atomize as well as gas so cold starts are an issue, again fuel injectors go along way to help here. The carb would have to be jetted up somewhere between 10-30% depending on a whole host of variables. I don't believe brass has any issue with alcohol, so jetting isn't much of a problem. Anodizing the aluminum actually adds several mils to the aluminum and therefore could change small orifice sizes in a carb, depending on the carb of course.
I have personally scoured the internet and haven't found any conversion kits for older cars. Some web site actually claim it is against EPA regulations to convert a car to run E85, but i haven't found that regulation personally.
1) the USA only gets 9 (nine) percent of our oil from the middle east. period.
2) we didn't get any oil from Iraq
3) we don't get any oil from Iran
4) Communist China is # 2 in consumption and is buying all the oil they want and that is running the price up
5) Commie China is paying for it with American money.
6) significant authoritative sources insist that the overall oil consumption necessary to produce ethanol exceeds what ethanol saves
check it out and see that this is correct.

"Julia has walked the walk and shares her insights into how we can join her in gaining wellness through healthy weight control." — Mehmet Oz., M.D., co-author of You: The Owner's Manual
About the Author Julia Havey
The hardest part of losing weight, is gaining motivation. I know, because I have been there. I was once a 290-pound woman who was able to turn her life around, losing 130 pounds in the process. Through my own experiences and those of the thousands of women I have coached, I understand the challenges we face when trying to change our lives.
This common sense approach is the voice of reason in the sea of fads and fake promises. i do not believe in short term fixes or regimented programs because they are not successful in achieving what we really need - long term success and health.
I have helped thousands of women reach their goals, and I want to help you too.

Baseball Hosts No. 15 Indiana in 2013 Home Finale
May 13, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The Kentucky baseball team will conclude its 2013 home schedule with a midweek matchup against No. 15 Indiana, with first pitch on Tuesday slated for 6:30 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
The game will be televised live on the UK IMG Network, available on Fox Sports South, CWKYT-TV in Central Kentucky and WYMO-TV in Louisville. The game will also be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with the Voice of UK Baseball, Neil Price, calling the action. Fans can hear the game in Central Kentucky on WLAP 630-AM and online at UKathletics.com.
Kentucky (28-22) will send senior lefty Jerad Grundy (6-5, 5.02 ERA) to the mound on Tuesday to face Indiana freshman southpaw Will Coursen-Carr (2-0, 1.30 ERA). Grundy has made 12 starts in 2013, tossing 71.2 innings, walking 18 and striking out 58. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound native of Johnsburg, Ill., is coming off his first career midweek start last Tuesday vs. Wright State. Grundy worked five innings vs. WSU, allowing five hits and one run, striking out five. Coursen-Carr has appeared in 11 games with seven starts, working 34.2 innings, walking 13 and striking out 21. In his last start, Coursen-Carr worked 6.2 innings at No. 10 Louisville last Tuesday, allowing three unearned runs, walking two and striking out six.
The Wildcats have hit .256 as a team in 2013, slugging .364 and reaching base at a .363 clip, belting 33 homers and stealing 52 bases. On the mound, UK has a 3.61 ERA, striking out 350 in 453 innings. Defensively, the Wildcats have fielded .973, turning 55 double plays and allowing only 29-of-48 steals.
UK has been led at the plate by freshman outfielder Kyle Barrett, who owns a .351 mark with four doubles, one triple, 14 RBI and four steals. J.T. Riddle has hit .292 with seven doubles, one triple, one homer and 19 RBI, stealing six bags. A.J. Reed owns a .286 mark with eight doubles, two triples, 12 homers and 49 RBI, while Austin Cousino has hit .257 with 12 doubles, one triple, six homers and 25 RBI, swiping 12 bases. Max Kuhn has hit .246 with eight doubles, one triple, five homers and 29 RBI. Senior Zac Zellers has hit .244 with three homers, 25 RBI and seven steals.
In relief, senior Walter Wijas (2-0, 0.98 ERA) has a staff-best 25 outings, with junior Trevor Gott (4-1, 1.29 ERA) saving 11 games in 28 innings.
