Yep, I'd have probably bought the stainless one. I have also invested in several trial products that didn't quite make it! Heinz 56, Preperation G, WD-39, ect.

I'm amazed that a company is putting out a tool that is for emergency glass breakage and it doesn't work.They need to pull that POS tool until they manufacture it with a carbide tip that does work.

FWIW, lots of local LEO agencies, including the Florida Highway Patrol, issue a little keychain sized tool called the "Res-Q-Me". Window breaker and seatbelt cutter that I have used and seen work fine plenty of times. The spring punches give lots of control compared to a striking tool. I have one in all my cars and have given several to family and friends. Mine has a lanyard of orange 550 cord and sits in the ashtray of my car. Try resqme dot com.

I have one that I used in classes to demonstrate with. Probably broke a hundred windows with it before I lost it.
You can always carry a broken chunk of spark plug with you too. That works if you have room to throw it.

I find it a little disconcerting that none of the windows broke from the inside and one of the seat belts were cut in a manner that you would be needing if you had to cut yourself out of the car. All of the examples provided are done at angles with ample leverage, but after I've just been T boned or worse hit from an oncoming car and pushed into a river and the door has taken impact and I need to cut and break my way out from the seat belt getting jammed entangled and clamped down I'm nog going to have the room for a full swing of the arm and a 90 degree cutting angle in the center of the blade of a knife. To me this is showing that you can stand on the firing line and hit paper 7 yards a way once every 5 seconds, yes it's a start but it's not really a test of the equipment.

The Showtime serial killer drama "Dexter" is getting a new star. Whether he sticks around remains to be seen.
TV Line reports that Colin Hanks has joined the show for its sixth season, though is role is still unknown. Traditionally, the show has had one main villain that its titular character -- the disturbed, justice-seeking medical examiner/serial killer Dexter -- battles until the final episode. Past adversaries have included Jimmy Smits and John Lithgow, whose performance helped the series reach new heights and earned him an Emmy.
As TV Line notes, however, the show's executive producer has said that there will not be one core opponent in the upcoming season, so there's no clear clue as to who Hanks could play.
Hanks, who guest starred on "Mad Men," as a Brooklyn priest, starred in the police show, "The Good Guys," with Bradley Whitford; it was cancelled after one season. He'll feature in the upcoming film, "Lucky," to be released later this year.
This isn't the only news out of "Dexter," today; Showtime released a new teaser trailer, which you can see below. Needless to say, they're hyping the upcoming season pretty heavily.

This Friday, George Lucas once again reaches into our collective wallets to get more cash from it - yes, he's re-releasing Episode I (you know, the one with Jar Jar, but also with the cooler Darth Maul) in theaters, this time in glorious 3D.
Instead of giving Lucas more money, why not give this guy some video views by watching his version of the prequels, all done in wonderful LEGO animation.

There were quite a few "straw man" arguments in that video.
Attachment 61215
I rest my case. Leave my right to have guns for self protection alone, you big fat idiot.....
MIchael Moore is another useless commie.
Strange how both of them use the 1st amendment in their professions yet are quick to attack the 2nd amendment.
*"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional,
illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream
media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end**.**" Author Unknown
Trying to control crime with gun control laws is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today
facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."
Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
Martin Luther King, Jr.:
Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.
The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms, like laws, discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them; the weak would become a prey to the strong.
Thomas Paine
Bozo the Clown has more credibility than Michael Moore.
Piers is an idiot from some non-descript little island whos butt we kicked so long ago, and has little , to no significance whatsoever.
He is on the top of my punch in the face list.
Michael Moore
Rosie O'Donnel
Hillary Clinton
Michael Bloomberg
Rush Limbaugh
I hate Michael Moore but I did agree with his opinion on the case we can't talk about.
Moore is ignorant. Ya let's enact stricture gun laws, that'll solve all our problems. Insane people will stop being insane, and criminals will turn legit all across the country. My goodness, why didn't we think of this before?
You know what will stop heinous crimes? Heinous punishments. The consequences of crime are not strong enough to deter someone from doing it. I am not saying that the death penalty is necessarily a good thing, but for heavens sake, someone murders another human being and they get 20 years, but then are out after 12 on good behavior. It needs to be embedded in every Americans thick skull that if you do heinous things to other human beings, we the people will make the rest of your sad miserable life a living hell. After a jury of your peers decides your guilty that is.

Body protecting journalists' rights set up
Body protecting journalists' rights set up
KABUL (PAN): A 50-member committee for defending the rights of journalists on Monday started working in the framework of the Afghan Independent Bar Association (AIBA), an official said.
The body would defend the freedom of expression, rights of journalists, support the mass media law and arrange training courses on legal issues for media professionals, said the AIBA president, Roohullah Qarizada.
Some journalists were awarded harsher punishments in certain cases due to a lack of defence lawyers to protect their rights, according to Deputy Minister of Information and Culture Mubarez Rashidi, who also present at the media briefing.
Without going into details, he said: "From now on, the problem will be resolved. We will try to convince the relevant state organs to set up a special court for trying media-related cases."
Rashidi said his ministry was working on two draft laws supporting the rights of journalist. The drafts had already been sent to the Ministry of Justice for vetting.
One of the proposed laws pertains to reporters' access to information and the other to rules for media outlets. The first draft requires officials to provide timely information to journalists.
"This draft gives journalists the right to prosecute the government officials who avoid giving them information," the deputy minister added.

OK, so who recommended the 3 in 1 Clairol mousse??
Yesterday it was a buck and fifty nine in change at Walgreens. So, I thought "What the heck". bought it. Today my hair is GREAT. And, it is hot and humid here. I hope this product is CG; I think it is. And, I hope my hair holds up all day! But so far, its great, my hair is loopy and shiny. Thanks, Curlfriends!
I've been using the same mousse for about two weeks. Can we say amazing? No frizz (even through a heat wave) and nice curls. Best stuff I've used and the price is even better!
Is this the same as the Captivating Curls Mousse?
I have three favorites...the 3-in-1, joiwhip and GVP Paul Mitchell sculpting foam. I'm probably just gonna stick with the first two since they are pretty cheap. :)...I'm going to run to Walgreens later and stock up on the 3-in-1since they were 50% off!!
Mmmm I forgot I have a big stash of clairol 3-in-1 in my cupboard. It's not CG but it is great for this hot humid weather. I might try it with some aloe Eco.
The mousse is CG I think. :flower:
Here are the ingredients:
Water, Hydrofluorocarbon 152a, Isobutane, Polyquaternium 11, Polyquaternium 4, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Panthenol, PEG 6 Cocamide, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Dimethicone Copolymer, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylparaben
Is the cone water soluble? I believe it is....but will look it up.
No, I think Captivating Curls is a Suave product - didnt like that one.
That cone makes it non-CG and it doesn't appear to be water soluble, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I freely confess that when I read ingredients while shopping, I just look for the PEG in front of the cone, and call it a day.
That's alot of polyquats in there, though, and combined with the cone, could mean build up. Everyone is different of course, but it's something to be aware of.
I used to love, love, love Paul Mitchell's mousse. I haven't used it in ages. Is it still wonderful? :D You're tempting me to try a mousse again. My mom still uses it, I'm pretty sure. She's a 2a, very fine, and very short. She doesn't use anything over it, her hair is so short she doesn't need to. (I tried to get her to use my FSG/gel combo, and she tried it once, and said she got too much definition for her hair type and style; she didn't want her hair to be as "piecy" as it got with the FSG and the gel.) I wonder if I'd get more volume with the mousse? That's the main problem I have with using FSG and gel; I love how I have no frizz, and get great clumps, but I have no volume whatsoever, until 2nd and 3rd day hair, when I have volume from sleeping on it, LOL.
My bottle says dimethicone copolyol...which is water soluble.
I thought that cone was water soluble, could someone please clarify for certain? in any case, it is pretty far down on the list, and I shampoo daily so I dont know if build up is a problem...maybe someone could comment on that too, as it has puzzled me for a long time. Auntie, I gave up on gels, I dont like them. Today I added a little AVG to the 3 in 1, and Ill report on that later. Yesterday, my hair held up all day. It does well with the Deva Foam too, but unless I am massacreing my hair with that cone, it might be worth saving over $25. Then again, the Deva foam does last a long time..have you tried the Deva foam?
PS dimethecone copolyol is water soluble.
So, do you use this mousse alone or with a gel on top of it?
I dont use a gel with mousse any more, I used to. Today I used some Aloe Vera gel for additional curl definition and that seems to be working well.
Lately when I use mousse I just use a leave in and mousse, nothing else...with great results..I'm still amazed. I don't know why I never tried this before.
I couldn't find it at my local Walgreens - I wanted to try it.
Huh. Was this me that recommended it? I love that stuff.
Hhmmmm....I'm bummed! I tried it out twice already and do not like! Its left my hair stringy, and no volume at all! (My heads a little itchy too) I usually get great volume after I diffuse but nothing! How much of it do u guys put? Maybe I'm putting too much product? Ill keep trying here and there but i ll put it aside for now!
I use about a half dollar size (if you remember half dollars) on each side; and another on the top/back. I tend to be conservative with use of products.
Do you apply anything else with it? Like.I always use gel with my mousse. Or do you just do a LI and the 3 in 1? Ill have to try w/out gel before I give up!

Apple has filed a patent that shows they are continuing to look for new solutions to this problem. Apple believes that other glass material in addition to alumino silicate glass, commonly known as Gorilla Glass, can be used in combination with a surface chemical treatment to create stronger glass.
Apple is also proposing to use a drop sensor that is able to trigger a protection defense when a drop is detected. Some of the defenses that Apple suggested in the patent are an actuator that retracts the glass partially into the housing when a drop is detected as well as a shock mount.
The shock mount solution aims to isolate the glass from the rest of the device. The mount is able to compress to dampen the effects of the impact. Apple also suggests that in this application the cover glass and the rest of the device can be programmed to emit different resonant frequencies, or vibrations, to provide additional dampening.
As for the shock mount itself; Apple suggests a few materials including polymer, foam, gel, or a shape memory material to absorb the impact. Conversely, Apple also describes a tunable shock mount with a micro inflatable bladder filled with fluid that expands on impact much like an airbag.
While it is unclear if we'll see any of these inventions integrated into real world applications anytime soon, it is interesting to take a look at some ideas that present new ways to protect our gadgets from their greatest physical threat, their own users.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Elsie Chin has been serving roti and other Trinidadian street food favorites for 28 years. However, her pearls of wisdom are timeless: "There are no forks here — so if you been scratching somewhere, you better go wash your hands." Beyond the sage advice at LC's Roti Shop are delectable roti — crepe-like bread filled with curried goat ($9) or spicy potatoes ($6) and sometimes even shrimp, chicken, beef, duck, or conch. They're folded full of flavor and well worth the drive to Miami Gardens. However, along with devouring roti, potato pies, and pholourie, be sure to take in all of the house rules adorning the establishment: "Cash only," "No cellphones," and "Farting prohibited." Even something as simple as a listing of business hours includes notes about times that LC's "occasionally" opens or closes. Some of the comments are as confusing as quips from the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. "Some days or afternoons we aren't here at all, and lately I've been here just about all of the time. Except when I am some place else, but I should be here then, too." We can't even explain; we can just scratch our heads and feel comforted by the fact that great roti in a humorous environment makes for a memorable meal. The proverbial cherry on top of the roti is the LC secret hot sauce. Numb your mind and your tongue — and enjoy!
Cocktails in these heady days are complex magic tricks, summoned from the ether by the showstoppers known as bartenders. But just as there's a difference between a Houdini and the clown at kiddie parties, there's a huge gulf in skill behind all the smoke and mirrors fluffing up craft cocktails around town. That's why the cocktails at Bar Centro are so satisfying. True, they're gorgeous, and there's a fair share of showmanship with liquid nitrogen and props. But the cleverest of cocktails has to be well rounded and delicious. Which is where José Andrés comes in. He's a master at making food that's both whimsical and delicious, and his chef-meets-Cirque du Soleil sensibilities translate to the cocktail menu. Here, a margarita ($16) is kissed by "salt air" (a bit of sea foam floating in the glass substitutes for a salt rim, giving you a more nuanced bit of salt in every sip); a dirty martini ($16) is graced with an olive spherification that bursts briny juice into your mouth when firmly pressed between your teeth; and a caipirinha ($16) is turned into a potent brain-freeze-inducing lime granita when mixed with liquid nitrogen. Each sip? Magical.
From the cash-only status to the friendly faces behind the bar, not all that much has changed at Duffy's Tavern in the past 25 years. Considering that this Red Road institution hits the trifecta of any great neighborhood bar — TV sets tuned to live sports, reasonable beer prices, and, of course, tasty food you can eat with your hands — that's one status quo we're thrilled to see maintained. Duffy's cranks out delicious renditions of all the usual suspects — chicken wings, burgers, and nachos — with some well-known specialties, like the Death Dog, a dangerously spicy frank whose ingredients remain top secret. Don't be too alarmed — wary folks can order the chili cheese dogs, which come packed and weigh a quarter-pound. Pints of beer start at $3 (with pitchers at just $10), and the mugs are always frosted. Duffy's might not be situated at the end of a rainbow, but the ceiling decorated in kitschy posters, the beer bottle chandelier, and the license plate collection on the bathroom walls make this place Celtic gold.
There are many terms for the person who crafts your cocktail: mixologist, bartender, barkeep. But it's best to just call Julio Cabrera a cantinero, the Cuban term for professional bartender. The word is romantic, conjuring up a sepia-toned image of a gentleman who prides himself on making the perfect drink for his guests at the Regent Cocktail Club. A man who believes that working a bar is a noble profession that requires the skills of historian, scientist, mathematician, chef, and psychologist all in one. Julio Cabrera is all of that and more. This cantinero, in the classic sense of the word, is a master of all trades. When he's not posing for GQ or winning awards such as Most Imaginative Bartender from Bombay Sapphire's national competition, he's conducting pilgrimages to El Floridita Bar in Havana, where another cantinero, Constantino Ribalaigua, made daiquiris for a writer named Ernest Hemingway. "Bartender," "cantinero," whatever you want to call him, the dapper Cabrera is the epitome of what a master of his craft should be: a man who elevates his field by paying tribute to those before him and serving as a mentor to those coming up.
Who says that a delicious, well-prepared breakfast need be reserved for Sunday brunch? At Deli Lane, the thick red plates are constantly full of fluffy eggs and perfectly browned Belgian waffles. If Leslie Knope ever left Pawnee, Indiana, for Miami, she would quickly forget about JJ's Diner after a meal at Deli Lane. Operating hours start bright and early at 7 a.m. every day. So you have plenty of time for a filling breakfast before work (or naptime). Tip: Try the power-up breakfast, which includes two eggs, potatoes, toast, two pancakes, and choice of ham, bacon, or sausage for $6.50. It's served Monday through Friday from 7 to 11 a.m. Other breakfast items are served all day long. But don't walk in asking for all the bacon and eggs they have, because they just might abide by that request.
Coral Gables is now a bona fide cool dining destination, and we have Bulla to partly thank for it. The name is pronounced boo-yah, which is Spanish slang for the ability to create a stir. Indeed, everyone is talking about the chic gastrobar's relaxed ambiance and unique take on popular Spanish dishes. Bulla's impressive brunch has also been the source of chatter, and you'll understand why after sampling the cojonudo y cojonuda ($8). It consists of warm toast crowned with quail egg, chorizo, and Spanish blood sausage purée. Like almost everything here, it's deployed with the utmost care and boasts a delicate taste. Meanwhile, classic small plates from the dinner menu such as the croquetas de jamón and the albóndigas (veal and pork meatballs) are available during brunch as well ($9). Got a sweet tooth? There's French toast whose brioche is infused with the Spanish liquor orujo and enhanced with vanilla berry syrup and white chocolate chantilly ($12).

Seventeen contributing editor Demi Lovato is on the February cover of Seventeen magazine. She shares why this is a huge step in her quest to #staystrong!
I am so in love with myI loved that the photos were shot outside in such a beautiful setting. There was such a relaxing vibe to the place. I want to thank everyone that worked on the shoot that day and made it so much fun.

The mission of The Center of Anna Maria Island is to be the 'community's gathering place'. This means to be a community focused center that the families, residence and visitors of Anna Maria Island have confidence and trust in to provide opportunities to gather…to socialize...to deepen friendships and to make new ones.
This special purpose and role in the community is fulfilled by offering sports, games, exercise, dance, art, music, social gatherings, learning programs, and other engaging opportunities, relevant to the needs of the Anna Maria Island community and, which, in total, provide financial stability for The Center.
With a mission to serve as the community's gathering place, The Center has worked hard to fulfill this mission through the delivery of quality programming on our brand promises that further provide our team with clarity and direction. • Create a family friendly atmosphere that is fun, safe and social• Offer healthy lifestyle programs and activities to all ages• Provide experiences that are welcoming and stimulating• Be a socially responsible member of the island communityThese promises to the Anna Maria Island community inform our strategies, programs and day-to-day decisions while ultimately representing what we are known for to our members. Everything we do as a community center falls under one of these promises.
Safe & secure facility access equipment to ensure safety & control of center environment (note: costs vary on degree of installation of technology)
A volunteer workforce to include positions such as CDL driver for our 23 passenger bus to increase outings for all members and community partners
Established in 1960 as a teen center, The Center of Anna Maria Island, a 501(c)(3) corporation, has evolved from a youth and teen center to a the community's gathering place. Whether you are a youth attending our afterschool program, or a active adult in our fitness & wellness programs, or even a senior participating in our pickle ball program, the Center serves as a place for ALL to come together and make friends. Our amazing facilities reach the needs of our locals, as well as a seasonal guests, and visitors. We continue to be the sole provider of community services on the island and work diligently to respond to our communities needs and desires for supportive programs and services.
My wife and I retired to Anna Maria Island ten years ago and after an extensive remodeling project on our home, I began to look for another area to devote some of my free time. I stopped by the Anna Maria Island Community Center and ended up having lunch with the Executive Director. She told me all about the programs offered at the community center and the critical need non-profit organizations have for volunteers. I decided this would be a great place to contribute my time.
I agreed to represent the community center on a joint program with the American Red Cross in Bradenton. Together we developed "AM I Ready"; a program to ensure island businesses, residents and visitors were prepared for hurricane season. The next opportunity for me was working with the board chairman and other volunteers to develop social media policies for employees and volunteers. Through these projects I learned more about the community center and began to appreciate the importance of the Center to the community.
The "Center" of Anna Maria Island is the community's gathering place. A place for the community to come together and make friends. Our promise to the community is to create a family-friendly atmosphere that is safe, fun, and social. To offer healthy lifestyle programs and activities to all ages. To provide experiences that are welcoming and stimulating; and to be socially responsible members of the island community.
This year we have made substantial progress in laying the "strategic foundation" for the future. We developed a 5-part financial strategy to diversify our revenue base and develop a sustainable financial model for the future. We re-branded the Center as the "community's gathering place", revised membership pricing, reduced and reorganized staff to better support program offerings, and improved relationships with municipal government officials.
Our focus this year will be creating and implementing a development plan to increase private donations, recruiting new board members that fill a matrix of competencies needed to strengthen the board of directors, and prioritize "mission earned revenue". Having paid off our mortgage obligation last year we need to build reserves to support center scholarships for island residents that are unable to afford center membership / activity fees.
With a significant investment of time and resources, the Board of Directors laid groundwork for the team at The Center to re-evaluate all aspects of it's programs and operations, to achieve the goal of re-connecting to the diverse island community that we are thankful to be part of.
We are working to rebuild confidence in The Center of Anna Maria Island. Historically, community centers across the world have been places where people would come together to play sports, exercise, dance, play games and learn. There is one important aspect involved; that people gathered to socialize, to see their friends, and possibly meet new ones…
The new mission of The Center is to serve as a gathering place for the community to come together and make friends.
This mission will serve as guiding principle in the work that we are doing. Furthermore, we have developed new brand promises, which will provide our team with clarity and direction to support the fulfillment of our mission. These brand promises provide informed direction for our strategies, programs, day-to-day decisions, and ultimately represent The Center to the greater community.
As a child, I was fortunate to experience the benefits of a community center in the small fishing town where I grew up in Connecticut. With this in mind, I am proud to lead the team at The Center and have had great pleasure seeing it's transformation over the past several months. This transformation will continue to evolve as we re-engage with the community through events like our Fish Fry, growing our volunteer program, experiencing excitement on our sports fields, and our classroom activities… the future is bright for The Center of Anna Maria!
Family Foundations allows us to provide services that support our families and members
overall wellness by qualified professionals in a reputable program that reduces
direct program costs to the Center and allows us to partner with an
organization whose similar mission strengthens our services offered at The
(1) that they have grown in the areas of self-esteem, autonomy, relationship skills, communication skills, parenting and daily living skills and therefore become more able to attend to the demands of parenting their children. And 95 % of families in therapy report (2) that the children in individual or family counseling and in the life skills groups have learned new communication and behavior skills that can be applied in all areas of their lives, and that they are developing new or improved coping skills, self-esteem and self-confidence.
The Center continues to serve our community and our programs change due to the needs and wants of that community. However, every program and everything we do at The Center must fall under one of our brand promises.
Create a family-friendly atmosphere that is fun, safe, and social.
Offer healthy lifestyle programs and activities to all ages.
Provide experiences that are welcoming and stimulating.
Be socially responsible members of the island community.
We are the processes of rebranding to provide a "new face" to The Center. We are changing the culture of how we operate to rebuild the community's confidence in The Center after years of transitions. The challenges we face are communicating the changes, as well as the value and benefits of supporting the Center through membership and various means while reaching diverse audiences. The challenges are being address by having standard operating producers in place to provide consisting in all programs at The Center. A communication plan was developed and helped develop a structure for future use. We are also restructuring management to create a balance within all our programs.
The greatest challenge is to attract true leaders, those who share our passion for our mission and have a generosity of spirit that they can make a positive contribution that will support the mission of the Center long after they are gone.

Fantastic 1997 Cadillac Deville! 72,2**miles. Very clean. I used to be a Cadillac Dealer in Clinton,NJ and took this in on trade from the original owners. Wehn traded it looked like new. My friends father was looking for a car and I sold this car to him back in 2008 with about 60K miles on it. He loved this car and took great car of it.
The engine and transmission run really strong and feel great.
Power antenna and rear trunk lid motor also work, you usually do not see these working on preowned cars.
Everything works and has all original manuals and books, including the original window sticker.
There are only two small issues I saw, a small paint chip on the rear corner, can be easily covered with touchup and never notice it. The other thing is the glove box handle is broken, still stay closed.
Selling because my friends father passed away and he has no need for the car.
His number - Bill-609-496-1966 or you can message me with any questions.

Reher-Morrison has a treatise on cross-drilled cranks:
Ill begin with a rather bold statement: Dont use a cross-drilled crankshaft. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but under most circumstances, a cross-drilled crank is going to cause big problems.
Unfortunately cross-drilling is one of those terms thats become part of the jargon of hot rodding. People who know very little about racing engines have heard of a cross-drilled crank, and mistakenly believe theyve got to have one. In fact, cross-drilling simply refers to the position and routing of the holes that carry pressurized oil from the main bearing journals to the connecting rod bearings.
In a cross-drilled crankshaft, oil feed holes are drilled completely through the main journals so the passages are open on both ends. Holes from the rod journals are then drilled at an angle to intersect the holes in the main jouranls at the centerline of the crank. This system was thought to ensure a continuous supply of oil to the rod bearings because one end of the passage drilled through the main bearing is always exposed to the pressurized oil in the upper main bearing insert.
So whats wrong with this picture? The pressurized oil that enters the feed hole through the main bearing journal must overcome the centrifugal force created by the rapidly spinning crankshaft before it can reach the passage to the rod journal. If the pressure created by the oil pump is not strong enough to counteract the centrifugal force that is pulling the oil away from the rod journal feed hole, then the rod bearing is starved for lubrication. Since the pinwheel effect of the centrifugal force increases with rpm, when the rod bearing does run dry and seize, the resulting carnage is usually catastrophic.
I learned my lesson about cross-drilled crankshafts the hard way. Back in the early 80s we started to turn our engines faster. Wed been running stock Chevy cranks in our 287-cubic-inch small-blocks and B/ED motors without any problems. Eventually the supply of usable cranks became exhausted, so we ordered aftermarket cranks California cranks as my Texan friends called them. These cranks were much prettier than the factory forgings, and they all had trick cross-drilled main bearings. It didnt take long for those cranks to turn blue when the rod bearings burned, sometimes on the first or second dyno pull. Then wed bolt in an old 283 crank and the engine would live forever. So what was the difference? The difference was the cross-drilling.
Today most racing crankshafts have a high-speed oiling system, which is essentially just how Chevy drilled those stock cranks. The oil feed holes for the rod bearings intersect the main journals at or near the surface of the journals. The pressurized oil does not have to overcome centrifugal force to reach the oil feed holes for the rod bearings, so the supply of lubrication is constant even at high rpm. There have been some refinements made to the angles and positions of the oiling holes to time the oil supply, but the basic design hasnt changed significantly.
Its easy to spot a cross-drilled crankshaft. Insert a piece of welding rod or coat hanger wire into the oil hole drilled in the main bearing. If the wire comes out the other side, the crank is cross-drilled. My advice is not to use it.

Sloppy/rattling shifter?
1 Attachment(s)
This is more of a FYI because I had never heard of this problem before. Hopefully it will help someone out in the future. I have a 2008 wrx. I have always had a lot of sloppiness in my shifter since I bought the car (72k on it when bought) but a few months ago it started rattling as well. It seemed like it just happened out of nowhere one morning. Even a short shifter and polyurethane bushings didn't help, and the rattling was driving me nuts.
When I did my power steering pinion valve swap a couple weeks ago, I decided to look at the linkage because I couldn't find anything rattling from the shift assembly inside the car. I ended up finding the culprit. (See Attached Image)
The nut had loosened up and completely fallen off the bolt. The rattling was from the head of the bolt hitting the drive shaft. This bolt is also in a very tight space. It took a very carefully placed pair of vice grip pliers, a small box wrench, and a lot of patience to get the new lock nut on there and tightened down going about 1/10th of a turn at a time due to said tight spaces.
The lock nut size was M8 1.25 It took several different sizes to get the right one, because the bolt is impossible to remove and measure without removing the drive shaft and I couldn't find the specs for it anywhere. I had to just guess and see what we had at autozone, I got lucky and got the right one on the second try.
Now with this tightened back up, kartboy short shifter, and cobb bushings, the shifter is quiet, unwavering, and notchy, as it should be.
Nice find and helpful info.

A gentle Southern Ocean introduction so far but…
- But several injuries and damages have been reported already
- Team Brunel leading by 50nm
Southern Ocean, March 23 – This Southern Ocean is a strange place. The six teams are now heading towards the ice limits that they should reach by Wednesday, and they're starting to experience the Southern Ocean: stronger winds, grey skies, grey seas.
So far though, conditions have been better than what the veteran sailors were dreading. The worst is coming up this week. But despite the sailing being easier than planed, injuries and preventives repairs have happened over the weekend.
MAPFRE had a scare on Sunday when they heard a loud bang coming from the bow. It didn't appear to be damaged but the Spanish crew reinforced the area with sail battens anyway. In the 2011-12 edition, skipper Iker Martínez's boat Telefónica suffered a bow delamination, forcing them to a pit-stop for repairs. This time around, Iker is being prudent.
Team SCA's Annie Lush and Dongfeng Race Team's Martin Strömberg both had big health scares over the weekend."Yesterday as I was trimming the main in 20 knots and steep waves, I got propelled from the windward aft side of the cockpit where I was standing wedged against the comms cage, flat onto my back on the leeward cockpit floor. Luckily the tether on my harness prevented the wave catapulting me too far, so nothing is broken (except my pride!) but the hit has left me black and blue, living on pain killers, and it quite literally is a pain in the arse! Being injured onboard is incredibly frustrating" wrote Annie in her blog the following day.
Martin's hand is OK, but he could easily have lost a few fingers. "I got stuck in a block when trying to remove a knot on a rope and I was thinking, 'don't put your hand there, don't put your hand there,' but then I saw an opportunity to loosen the knot and put full tension on the rope," he wrote."My hand went into the block and was stuck for a while until I got help. I thought I would lose some fingers but I was lucky with some flesh wounds and blue fingers. It will hurt the rest of the leg but it will probably be OK soon. Yet, it will be hard to fully rely on my hand when it gets tougher in the Southern Ocean… I will have to hold on."
Team Brunel leading into the Southern Ocean
Team Brunel (Bouwe Bekking/NED) managed to gain a 51.1-nautical mile (nm) lead on Monday (0940 UTC) with 4,750nm to go to the finish in Itajaí, Brazil. The infamous Cape Horn remains to be negotiated on the toughest of all nine legs.
Overall race leaders Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker/GBR) lead the chasing pack with Team Alvimedica (Charlie Enright/USA), Dongfeng Race Team (Charles Caudrelier/FRA), MAPFRE (Iker Martínez/ESP) and Team SCA (Sam Davies/GBR) bunched behind them.

As you have have heard, knives are the new guns, as far as British scare media is concerned.
A comment on the article that they posted: "There needs to be regular searches, young male adults and teenagers need to get stopped and searched. I would not object to that if it saved lives."
Excerpts from the article:
" New measures are being used by police to search for knives using hand-held and walk-through metal detectors. ...
Sir Al said on BBC Breakfast: "There is a balance here. On the one hand for young people to feel safer by having the presence of the police - but on the other hand making sure the new powers don't create further antagonism by increased stopping and searching.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Rose Fitzpatrick said officers' work was intended to make young people feel safer, as well as actually making them safer....
Under the Metropolitan Police's plans announced this month, officers can search people without reasonable suspicion under Section 60 of the Public Order Act.
The first team of 15 officers has already been deployed to an unidentified London borough.
Another five to 10 teams will take to the capital over the next 10 days, and will target areas where intelligence suggests youths are more likely to carry weapons. "

As someone with two proper knives and a swiss army knife on my person most of the time, this all seems a bit silly and more than a little scary. Public order act? Goodness.

Medical Malpractice Attorney Ronald Gilbert sued for LEGAL MALPRACTICE
Posted in the Orlando Forum
1 - 20 of 35 Comments Last updated Aug 21, 2013
#7 Jun 6, 2009
As an update to the previous posting dated October 28th 2008, let it be known that on May 14th 2009 Attorney Ronald Gilbert, while testifying under oath during a deposition in the legal malpractice case filed by Ronald and Adola Grasha was asked how many times he had been sued for legal malpractice. Ronald Gilbert answered that he has been sued three times, not twice as posted earlier. Again,it deserves mentioning, how bizarre is it that this attorney would be selected as a super lawyer in the year 2008-An attorney who has been sued three times for legal malpractice. Who is it that makes these selections? What could possibly be the criteria? You must wonder what kind of research takes place before this honor of super lawyer is bestowed upon someone. Here's a thought, would you treat with a medical doctor who has been sued three times for medical malpractice? I sure wouldn't. This, we believe the public has a right to know.
#8 Jul 23, 2009
Wow, what an eye opener. I can't believe this guy has done this to these poor people. I hope they go after him and win. He shouldn't be allowed to practice law - and as a future law student, I'm offended by his actions. He gives lawyers a bad name.
#9 Aug 7, 2009
Sincere thanks for all of your information on this so-called Attorney - Ronald Gilbert. We were recently referred to him by an up standing team of attorneys here in Daytona Beach, that advertise on all Tv stations. Apparently, since no one in Daytona Beach will go against Physicians that screw-up here, the Lawyers protect them and ship you off to an Attorney that will mis-represent you to the point of either loosing the case or delaying it beyond the time limits of filing a malpractice case. What has become of this world. Attorneys protecting Physicians????
#10 Aug 7, 2009
Sincere thanks to all of you. We were recently referred to Ronald Gilbert for a malpractice case by a reputable firm here in Daytona Beach (they advertise all the time on TV re:motorcycle accidents). It is a shame that the Attorneys protect Physicians and refer you to some attorney that has a history as this one does. What has this world come to??? MalPractice is happening every day in every hospital/rehab center and what are we to do, just live with the life long debilating results of the Physicians errors. Shame on the Attorneys and Shame on the Physicians who think they are God and untouchable if they mess up. Apparently, since the attorneys won't do anything then I guess they are God.
#24 Feb 14, 2010
who in their right mind would hire this attorney or his law firm anyway, how can an attorney be sued for legal malpractice three times and still have clients,most of the attorneys I know have never once been sued for malpractice. All I can say is let the buyer beware.
#25 Feb 18, 2010
thanks for the info., this is one lawyer I will never use. What must this lawyer be thinking about??? He must have his head in the ground.

Comments by the Honorable Judge Rom Powell
These are comments that were given to attorney Ronald Gilbert from Judge Rom Powell after Ronald Gilbert represented us ( Ronald and Victoria Grasha ) at a non-binding arbitration hearing that pertained to our medical malpractice lawsuit (case # 02-ca-8976) that Ronald Gilbert was handling for us. These comments came to light during the discovery process in our legal mal-practice lawsuit filed against Ronald Gilbert on January 10th 2008 (case # 08-ca-67). Judge Rom Powell stated in his summary that he would seal his personal comments and that Ronald Gilbert could share these comments with the Grashas or not - that would be up to Ronald Gilbert. Well, needless to say Ronald Gilbert never shared Judges Rom Powells comments with us and we never learned of Judges Rom Powells negative comments as mentioned earlier until this sealed endnote surfaced during the discovery process in the legal malpractice lawsuit that was filed by our attorney against Ronald Gilbert and the law firm of Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter. When you read the comments in the sealed endnote from Judge Rom Powell that are listed below, we feel that Judge Rom Powell is critical of Ronald Gilbert for the manner in which he presented our case. Its quite clear after reading the endnote why Ronald Gilbert did not share Judge Rom Powells thoughts with us.
In the sealed endnote Judge Rom Powell states the following.
1. "In my own personal opinion, this case was not suitable for non-binding arbitration."
2. "As I suggested at hearing, a well - constructed lateral time-line of medical events would have been very helpful to me, and would be to a jury if this case is tried."
3. "There was evidence presented of Mrs. Grashas non-economic damages but you made no argument how those damages should be quantified in terms of money."
4. "You also put no numbers on the board in regards to Mr. Grashas consortium claim."
5. "No evidence of past or future economic damages was presented. Even had the plaintiffs prevailed on liability, they would have no doubt been dissatisfied with the amount of money the arbitrator could have awarded based on the evidence presented."
Do these sound like comments that are being made about a "great" attorney?

Super Lawyer
Ronald Gilbert, a senior partner with the law firm of Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter was selected as a super lawyer in 2008. Now I ask you how bizarre is this? Attorney Ronald Gilbert has been sued three times for legal malpractice, twice in Orange County since 2005. This revelation was an admission that came forth in recent deposition testimony given by Ronald Gilbert on May 14th 2009 (case # 08-ca-676). Ronald Gilbert and his previous firm of Morgan, Colling and Gilbert were very active in the medical malpractice tort reform issues that took place in Florida back in 2002 /2003. One of the issues that Ronald Gilbert was in favor of was if a medical doctor had three medical malpractice claims against him ( that he lost ) then that doctor would surrender his license. With Ronald Gilberts latest track record, I wonder if he feels the same punishment should apply to lawyers?
#29 Feb 26, 2010
Mr. Gilbert pressures us to take a settlement offer.
On September 5th 2006, six (6) days prior to our trial date, Ronald Gilbert has Victoria and I come to his office. Ronal Gilbert tells us that the defense has made an offer and further states that he will not allow us to leave his office until we agree to settle the case, he actually brought Victoria to tears. Ronald Gilbert wanted us to settle our case for an amount of money that would not have taken care of Victoria for any more than three or four months, let alone cover her medical expenses for the rest of her life. Victoria, at that time, had a life expectancy of twenty years. When we refused to settle and told Mr. Gilbert that Victoria needed, among other things, a wheelchair accessible van, a tub lift, home health care, nursing care, etc. Ronald Gilbert stated you have no predicate to take before a jury to receive money for those items. Here we were six (6) days before trial with millions of dollars in damages and we learn for the first time that Ronald Gilbert, who had been our attorney for 5 ½ years, had not bothered to hire an economist or life care expert to explain our expenses to a jury. This type of performance from a law firm whose credo is "were there when you need us". These were some of the same criticisms that were provided by Judge Rom Powell in his sealed endnote to Ronald Gilbert. A "great" attorney? You decide.
Mr. Gilbert and the law firm of Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter desert us. Mr. Gilbert withdraws from the case.
On December 14th 2006, Mr. Ronald Gilbert sends Victoria and I a certified letter informing us that he and his firm of Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter are going to withdraw from our case and we are going to have to find other legal representation. This is only a couple of months after we refused to settle our case for $100,000.00 and the non-binding arbitration in which Judge Rom Powell was critical of Ronald Gilbert. At this point in time Ronald Gilbert had been our attorney for over five years and we were just a month away from going to trial. This "great" guy / attorney after five years did not even have the common courtesy to have Victoria and I come into the office to receive this devastating news nor could this "great" guy / attorney even find the time to pick up the phone and make a phone call. We get a certified letter in the mail, this was less than two weeks before Christmas. What a nice Christmas gift from this "great" guy / attorney.

Deposition testimony of Ronald Gilbert in regards to the legal malpractice lawsuit noted above.
On Thursday September 20th 2007, Ronald Gilbert sat for a deposition which consisted of 384 pages (case number is 16-2005-ca 006354) The case is public record has been filed in Duval County Florida and may be viewed if you wish to check the facts which are to follow. In this deposition Ronald Gilbert the "Great Attorney" as noted by "Wait a Minute" admits under oath to the following:
1. Filed a medical malpractice complaint without the necessary expert affidavit required by statute that would have corroborated the claim.
2. Changed truthful answers provided under oath in interrogatories by the client with what were untruthful answers.
3. Filed a medical malpractice lawsuit, that by Ronald Gilberts own admission had no merit whatsoever.
4. Filed a medical malpractice lawsuit in which there was never any intention of bringing the claim to conclusion by way of adjudication at trial.
5. Filed a lawsuit against Dr. Seibel who Ronald Gilbert truly by his own admission knew was not negligent.
6. Prepared and filed a complaint which contained lies in regards to the care provided by Dr. Seibel.
7. Ronald Gilbert admits under oath that he changed the date, the truthful date provided to him by his clients with a false date in the interrogatories so that he could preserve the statute of limitations so that he would not face a motion for Summary Judgement by the defense.

Summary and thank you for reading please feel free to comment.
In conclusion, my wife Victoria and I have taken the time to post this information and have tried throughout to provide the necessary exhibits, court case numbers, deposition testimony etc. to let the public know that it is true and we have done the research, something that "Wait a Minute" did not do when he trivialized the plight of those who have filed legal malpractice lawsuits against Ronald Gilbert. Im interested in the thoughts and comments of those reading this post.
We also ask that Ronald Gilbert not be allowed to have our posting removed because we have been truthful, did the research and feel the public has a right to be informed before they make the very important decision of hiring an attorney / law firm. In the past there have been numerous comments made by us and other people as well that have been removed.
Had we known then what we know now, would we have hired Ronald Gilbert or the law firm of Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter? I think Not.
#36 Feb 26, 2010
thanks for the heads up I was going to use this colling gilert wright and csrter firm but after reading this I have changed my mind. how can this gilbert guy sleep at night.
#37 Feb 26, 2010
i was referred to this firm from a law firm in tampa after i met with this attorney gilbert i then saw him on a billboard and called back and said no thanks. i didn't like him anyway he didn't seem like he had my best interest at heart.
#38 Feb 28, 2010
I just read on line a press release dated December 30th 2009 where attorney Ronald Gilbert was nominated by The American Trial Lawyers Association by his peers for membership into the ATLA which is made up of the top one hundred lawyers from each state.This is a lawyer who has been sued three times for legal malpractice and as recently as September of 2009 had to pay out his policy limits which was millions of dollars for the manner in which he represented a family in a medical malpractice lawsuit. THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF A JOKE. My name is Ronald Grasha and I don't think it is very funny. My wife Victoria and I are also currently suing Ronald Gilbert and the Firm of Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter for legal malpractice for the manner in which he/they handled a very serious medical malpractice lawsuit for us. I understand there are 80,000 lawyers in Florida. A lawyer who has been sued three times for legal malpractice is nominated as one the top one hundred. PLEASE!
#39 Mar 11, 2010
Actually, according to the Fla. bar web site there are 87,010 attorneys in Fla. this is even going to make it a little harder for Gilbert to be in the top 100. Whoever put out this press release must have a REAL sense of humor...
...just look at hie record!
#40 Mar 24, 2010
just read the posts...
#41 Mar 24, 2010
Add another horrible experience with this attorney to the list. Another spinal cord injury case. He needs to be reported to the National Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Foundation and not be allowed to advertise in their magazine. How sick can you get to prey upon people under this kind of circumstance?
And one more recommendation-he has his name associated with other law firms and no one should use them either.
#42 Mar 30, 2010
a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad lawyer, in my opinion
#43 Apr 4, 2010
You have read our comments in regards to what Ronald Gilbert did to us, we our currently suing him and his firm of Colling, Gilbert,Wright and Carter for legal malpractice. I can tell you that Ronald Gilbert had to settle a second legal malpractice lawsuit an recently as September of last year for millions of dollars, that case had to do with the birth of a child that needed lifelong care. I'm quite sure that family was from Jacksonville. I was suprised when I saw your post addressed Ocala. It seems that attorney Ronald Gilbert gets around (Orlando, Jacksonville and Ocala). I would love to talk about your experience with this attorney. Maybe by speaking we could help another family. The public has a right to know. You can e-mail me at [email protected]

As this is a Reference Overdosed work, can I go ahead and create a Shout-Out page for this game? The actual list in the article is just the tip of the iceberg.

Do you also have an impression that there are at least several characters named after less famous, but nevertheless popular authors? In the beginning of the game I found Helen Bannerman and Cassandra King. Is this a coincidence or maybe it was a deliberate choice?

I have the same problem! I feel that my curls look best if I scrunch in product, but the product doesn't get to my roots/all over my hair if I scrunch it in, so EVERY TIME my hair is dry 50% of it doesn't have product in pretty much, partly because it's so hard to get product all over my hair since it's thick as well.

|Zucchini, corn, and tomatoes in my father's garden.
Truth be told, this is not just my dad's garden. It is my parents' garden. They started it when my grandparents moved in with them and my grandmother needed something to do once she left the farm she had lived on for over 50 years. My parents' backyard was too small to plant a garden large enough to occupy my grandmother for any length of time, so they bought an empty house lot down the street and planted a large garden.
The garden is divided into two parts... one for vegetables and one for flowers. The vegetable garden is my father's domain. Of course, my mom does a huge amount of work watering, picking, cleaning, and canning the vegetables that come out of it, but it is still under my father's ultimate control.
The cutting garden at the front of "the lot" belongs to my mom and she uses it to grow flowers for flower arrangements. The flower garden up at the house is for show, but this is where she grows the bulk of her cut flowers. It's a wild little garden and it's not meant to be pretty, although I like the strange mixture of plants that flourish there at different times of the year. It's the place my mom can grow plants that aren't necessarily attractive in and of themselves, but produce beautiful flowers.
|My parents' vegetable garden, June 17, 2010.
For years my parents have raised a lot more produce than they can eat themselves and they always share their garden's bounty with neighbors, friends, relatives, and the occasional "varmint", as my father calls the creatures who eat his vegetables. The gift of produce smoothes the way with difficult neighbors and encourages visits from friends and family... especially during tomato season. It's amazing to see how much comes out of their garden and how much they get out of the process. I only have space for a tiny vegetable garden in my yard, but every year I find myself digging out a new little patch to grow just one more row of tomatoes or a few cucumber plants. These experiments don't always work out, but they do give us all something to talk about and get my family out into the yard, working together and hoping for the best.

Thanks. It is one of the things on my "to buy" list. One of these days I'll get around to it.
I picked up a 28mm horsedrawn mess wagon. Makes me want to get a bunch of horsedrawn limbers for my Bolt Action Germans.Nice model and well painted, it is hard to have too many of these things around.
I wish someone made one in 15mm.
If I recall, SHQ did a field kitchen and cook in 20mm.

Both House and Senate Appropriations and Revenue chairmen are in close consultation so that when the House budget proposal is finalized and moves to the Senate, we can hit the ground running.

I'm an outdoor guy. I enjoy the warm, sunny days that come along with baseball season, and even the cooler days that bring the college and NFL football seasons.
That's why even I have been surprised to find myself enjoying the winter Olympics so much this year. Other than basketball and hockey, I'd rather be playing an outdoor sport, or even watching one played outdoors. That's just me. But this whole winter Olympics thing has found me sitting in my chair with, well, let's say, other events on the TV.
Dear Editor,
What a wonderful and welcoming facility we have in our Washington County Library.
As soon as you enter, people are at the computers, others choosing a video, while some are deciding which book they want, or just sitting at a table reading. If you need help finding anything...no worry...a smiling face will be right there for you. Need a copy or two run, they'll do that also.
To the magistrates of Washington County
I am writing to you in reference to your recent vote that eliminated the yearly county cleanup program. While I realize that no one enjoys being told they have made a mistake, I believe it is my duty to inform you that your vote to discontinue this program was indeed a HUGE mistake!
I owned three pairs of shoes when this story began.
A pair of shoes showed up at my house a few years back. That's not all that unusual, except these showed up by themselves, with no one attached.
I was coming up the drive to the garage one day when I saw a plastic Wal-Mart bag with something in it lying against the house. There's always something laying around our house, mostly kids, so my curiosity wasn't peaked until a couple of days later. The bag was still there.
Some winter, huh?
Did you ever think about the positive side really bad weather brings?
It's rest and being with your family.
Sounds funny doesn't it? But sometimes the weather gets so bad that life slows down to a crawl. You can't go anywhere because the roads are snowed in. Even if you could go somewhere, everything is pretty much shut down.
So what happens?
You stay home and bundle up for a day or two. Maybe play in the snow, watch television, play cards, or get out some old board games.
Numbers don't lie, but they can be deceiving. That was the case in an article published in the Jan. 27 issue of The Springfield Sun about the salaries of bus drivers in Washington and surrounding counties, and it's only appropriate to clear those numbers up and paint the picture as clearly as possible.
After bus drivers approached the local school board requesting pay raises, I wrote an article that explained how salaries for drivers in Washington County compared to those in surrounding counties, including Marion, Mercer and Nelson counties.
Over the past couple of years, too many Americans, including officials in high places, have criticized the United States for actions resulting in terrorism. Blame has been placed at our own feet for heinous attacks visited upon our citizens and soil. Interpretation of American "transgression" has even been stated as coming from an enemy that lacks acceptance of, and is against our founding principles: liberty and freedom. An honest review of history argues against that theme.
What was I thinking?
It's been my experience in life that you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear. No, if you start with a pig's ear, you're pretty much going to end up with a pig's ear. That's just the way it is.
The earthquake that has devastated the capital city of Haiti is an unbelievably cruel disaster for a country that is already one of the poorest and neglected countries in the world. The thousands of lives that have been lost and the devastation that has been left behind are almost too mind-boggling to comprehend.
But it's real.
It may be thousands of miles away from us, but there is a simple way we can help the starving people of Haiti who, we might add, have been starving long before this disaster occurred.
On Jan. 12, I attended a girls' high school basketball game that Washington County played against Nelson County. This game was a very close game until the end.
During the last nine or 10 years, we as Americans have become victims of political correctness by our government. We have continued to argue about the process of how to handle those that have been captured and where they are to be housed. We have been told that these attacks are nothing more than man caused disasters, and we cannot even use the word terrorist as it may create problems with the culture of hate and those responsible. Apparently we have not learned anything from history. It is important to look at history because it may give us some clues to the future.
At a time when our state and country face a lot of important issues, it seems some of our government officials are finding more ways to concern themselves with things besides our government.
In looking through area newspapers recently, I discovered just how unimportant some of the business is that is being addressed by our legislators.
Did you know some lawmakers made a motion recently in Kentucky's General Assembly to enshrine former UK basketball coach Joe B. Hall in the Basketball Hall of Fame?

Anyway, I love big weddings.
Let me start this column by saying that I, by no means, am a perfect pet owner.
I don't give my pets their vaccines exactly when I'm supposed to. I don't give my dog baths as often as I should. I don't brush my cats regularly (my mom does, however). And, I'm sad to admit it, but I don't play with my pets as often as I should. Believe me, I feel horrible about that last one. In fact, just writing it makes me feel ashamed. But, like I said, I'm not a perfect pet owner.
The first week of the General Assembly was a busy one with about 300 bills filed, committee assignments distributed, and the Governor's State of the Commonwealth Address.
I have been assigned to the Appropriations and Revenue Committee, the Education Committee, the State and Local Government Committee, and the Transportation Committee. In addition, I am pleased to report that I have been appointed the Chairman of the Budget Review Subcommittee on Transportation.

The Comfort Swing Chair by American Leather looks like it could be the most comfortable chair on the market. Besides being comfortable to sit in, the chairs rocking mechanism moves back and forth at the rate of the resting human heart. A gentle push or pull of the handle in the armrest sets the chair in motion for up to a minute and a half.
"The patented mechanism is literally a mechanical swing. The Comfort Swing travels in the exact same arc as would a swing suspended by a 12 foot rope. The chair swings 10″ forward and 10" backward and moves in an arc like motion exactly the same as a real swing. The 12′ long swing arm of the Comfort Swing was designed to provide a period of motion that matches the average human's heart rate. This maximizes the therapeutic, relaxing sensation of the swinging effect."
The Comfort Swing will set you back around $3000, but after taking a look at the chair in action, I can see how it might be worth the money.

HT4100 4.1, 4.5, 4.9 Discussion, Open or closed deck block in Cadillac Engine Discussion; What are the 4.1-4.9's open or closed deck and is the dealer the only place to get new cylinder sleeves ...

Open or closed deck block
What are the 4.1-4.9's open or closed deck and is the dealer the only place to get new cylinder sleeves for them? Anyone got pics of a bare 4.9 block from the top and the bottem of the mains? Thanks...
Re: Open or closed deck blockOriginally Posted by Formula94lt1
As for the deck configuration, the deck is wide open. The sleeves are free-standing with a rubber o-ring seal in the outer mid-section of the sleeve to ensure that no water can pass through. The o-rings are a dealer-only item when purchased seperate from the sleeves. When I last purchased a set of o-rings, the dealer was the only ones that had them ($8.00 per o-ring).
As for re-installing the sleeves, no machine pressing is required. All that is needed is that they're a.) put back in their original places (new sleeves are to replace the old sleeve in it's origianl spot), b.) care is taken to place them back in their respective holes, so as not to tear the o-rings c.) once installed, press them firmly by hand until they're all even, then place the cylinder head gasket then head on top of the sleeves then torque the heads down. This will seal the sleeves properly and without a machinist press.
A few things to remember when placing the sleeves back in:
Make sure that the sleeves are in their original holes in the block and that they're in their original orientation to the block. This will help to ensure that they're aligned correctly without any sealing issues. It is a good idea to mark the sleeve-to-block orientation with a strip of non-corrosive paint or similar marking utility. DO NOT gouge an orientation mark into the block and sleeve!
Make sure that the pistons are with their original sleeves! I cannot stress this enough. Do not mix 'n' match pistons and sleeves. Also make sure that the piston is aligned correctly to the block. This can be done by ensuring that the little notch on the top edge of the piston is facing the front of the engine.
When a new sleeve is needed, it is likely a good idea to make sure a new piston is supplied with the sleeve. Thus far, I have only seen where the piston is always supplied with the sleeve.
Should a new sleeve be purchased, you're going to have to make sure it is correctly aligned to the deck of the block. In all actuality, the sleeve should be a hair taller than the block deck. I'll find some specs on it later, but that's how it should be. It is best to measure the deck/sleeve height orientation before putting everything back together.
Any questions?
Re: Open or closed deck block
Sounds like you've done it a few times No more questions at present, thanks man!
Re: Open or closed deck blockOriginally Posted by Formula94lt1
Yeah, you could say that I've had my hands in quite a few 4.x series engines. Either on a rebuild (my '87 Seville has a new 4.5 liter transplant, running with some ass!) or some sort of major repair. And you know what? People on this forum still think I'm a retard and that I know nothing about mechanical work or even automobiles!!!
I'll never get any respect here I think
Re: Open or closed deck blockOriginally Posted by illumina
Re: Open or closed deck block
Gee Illumina, I shore woulda liked to hear this when I started the 4.1 sleeve rehash thread....
There may be a problem w/ finding sleeves if you're looking for a 4.1, and don't EVEN bother trying Cadillac....
The 2 new ones my brother found for mine had numbers on them and although I don't remember it, I'll return in a day or two with the number they had on them, as well as the specs that aren't supplied in the service manual....
I don't have any pics of the 'hollow' block, but I'll try to make a couple and put them in the rehash thread as well...

Now, I'm not advocating that we become whiners, wallowing in past mistakes or dwelling on dire predictions. But there is a big difference between dealing with issues and covering them up. Successfully dodging a hail of bullets on your way home is not the same as living in a safe neighborhood. Just because production wasn't down (or at least not for long) doesn't mean there was no impact: There is a very real cost in terms of loss of productivity, lower morale, and increased stress. And, of course, every so often there is a problem that can't be covered up or recovered from quickly enough.
The best strategy is somewhere in between whining and denying. It should be imperative to identify any issues that occur in production and perform some degree of root cause analysis—not for placing blame but for figuring out how it could have been prevented. These incidents should also be tracked for trends—is production becoming more or less stable over time? Are process improvements having any effect? One of the most successful test managers I know of consistently receives his requested budget by demonstrating a direct impact on production incidents.
What is the culture in your company? Is everyone so focused on how things look that they are ignoring how they really are, or is honesty permitted, even encouraged, as a means of improvement? Does your management really grasp the risks of cutting quality corners along the way, or do they think they are getting away with it?

Google Maps Now Gives Driving Directions in Pakistan
8 years ago
We have discussed before on how Google Maps works and the way Pakistani community is actively participating in developing those maps. Due to effort of these devoted contributors, it was made possible for Google to offer Driving Directions for Pakistan.
Google Maps can help you to
- Search for an address residential/business
- Get estimated driving distance
- Get estimated driving time
- Detailed directional path from one place to another
Check below video to see how you can get help with Google Maps to reach your destination, even if you are new in town. (View in Full Screen mode for more detailed view)
Of course these maps are available for major cities only, and that too with not extensive details – but tell you, this is really impressive and an achievement.
Everyone is invited/encouraged to add their streets, roads, schools, Company/business addresses and whatever contribution you can make.
So start exploring today: www.google.com/mapmaker
