Problem StatementWith 21 busy locations, customer service staff was frequently torn between assisting customers in the branch and answering /responding to customers on the telephone.
InnovationThe purchase and installation of a new phone system in 2003/2004 allowed us to think creatively about new ways to manage incoming phone calls. We expanded a model already in place at our Main Library, where incoming calls to Main were answered centrally, and designed a service center to answer all calls into Main and the 20-branches. The center was launched in 2004 and is staffed with experienced account and information professionals who are trained in providing service via the telephone. We eliminated public telephone numbers for each location and promoted the 645-2ASK central number as "The only number you need to know!"
InfoLine has been a great success. By freeing Main division and branch staff from taking telephone calls, the centralized 645-2ASK service enables them to focus on providing exceptional customer experience to walk-in customers at their locations. On average, InfoLine receives over 300,000 calls per year and is able to provide one-stop service to over 85% of callers; the remaining calls are transferred to individual divisions or branches when needed, usually for a shelf check. Over the years, InfoLine has also added e-Reference and IM reference to their duties.
In 2006, InfoLine merged with our Rover division creating an even more dynamic service model. Staff alternate between working the phones and filling in at locations as needed due to vacancies, illness, vacation etc. This combination of direct public service and telephone service has made the InfoLine/Rover division is a highly sought after job location. Additionally, staffing efficiencies which emerged due to the launch of the telephone service have contributed to being able to hold steady or reduce FTEs at all locations.

Need Help Getting Out of a Sticky Situation? *
AbstractDoes adhesive tape hang tight at different temperatures? Measure the adhesive strength of tape at both low and high temperatures. To raise the temperature, we suggest using a blow dryer at both low and high heat settings. To lower the temperature, use an ice pack (try to keep condensation from forming on the tape and confounding the results). For even lower temperatures you could try "dry ice" (frozen carbon dioxide), if available. (Wear heavy gloves when handling dry ice, because it can rapidly freeze your skin.) A possibility for measuring the high and low temperatures is to use a digital multimeter with a temperature probe. There are many relatively inexpensive models available with this function. Use multiple tape samples at each temperature to assure yourself that your results are consistent. Try different kinds of tape. Do all tape adhesives behave similarly at different temperatures?

What was the most important thing you learned?
How adhesive reacts to temperature.
What problems did you encounter?
Temperatures had to be extreme. The hairdryer didn't make the tape hot enough. Ice bag didn't make it cold enough. We could feel a slight difference as we pulled tape off, but we couldn't see a difference to show classmates.
Can you suggest any improvements or ideas?
Cold = Freeze tape for a couple of hours. Attach, frozen and two other pieces of tape to a piece of paper. We pressed one, just once with a flat iron. Then we pulled each piece of tape off. The frozen was almost deactivated, the plain took paper with it, the heated one pulled off but left more than 50% of the glue on the paper. We then put all pieces on a piece of acrylic and flipped it over so the class could see the back of each piece of tape. They could actually see the results on the adhesive itself. Note: we had same success with several tapes but duct tape worked the best because it was most visible for both demonstrating the experiment and viewing the results.
Overall, how would you rate the quality of this project?

About meI'm presently a school counselor, former history teacher who still has an abiding interest in history and politics, especially anything to do with presidential history and leadership. I also enjoy certain mystery series and old pulp writers such as Robert E. Howard, Hugh B. Cave, H. P. Lovecraft and others.
About my libraryI'm a recovering biblio-addict (I think that's the right term) who now goes to the library most of the time instead of the bookstore. I still have more books than is probably reasonable, but I've always wanted a large library ever since I read about Thomas Jefferson's when I was a kid. Besides the history, biography, and political stuff there's sports, especially football and track, pulp fiction from the 30's, 40's and 50's. Also mystery series galore. Some science fiction, fantasy, and classics. I love humorous writers, such as P. G. Wodehouse, Janet Evanovich, and Dave Barry.

[QUOTE=RatPin;1631875]A couple weeks back I picked up a '59 bel air that had a cheap paint job done about 7 years ago (Earl Shieb). It had some blistering at the bottom of the doors and on the rockers. Now keep in mind I bought this car for a driver and I don/t want to dig into it too deep since I am already up to my elbows in another frame up build. I want to do a quick fix on the areas pictures below. Quick fix meaning no cutting or welding, and yes I know it will be just covering it up to a degreea and I'm sure it will rear it's ugly head again at some point down the road, but for now I just want it smooth and protected as best it can be without adding metal and doing it (properly).
Please lend advice as to what you might think would work best to seal this up for as long as possible. I was thinking to just wire it clean from the outside, put some Metal Ready on it and then skim it over with All Metal or similar product.
Again, I know to most and even to me this seems like doing a hack job, but right now I just want to have it smooth and be able to drive it while I finish my other project. I can do it right at a later date when I have the time and shop space to do so.
Just my two cents but once the rust starts, you'll never stiop it.
If I was trying to cover it, I'd indent the area slightly and skim coat it with filler. Because its in the door, you cannot probibly get to the back of it. Sealing the back of it from air and water using undercoating will slow the decay but never stop it.
the key is encapsulating the area from air and moisture. My fix is Not the correct way but will last for a while.

Cadillac News: Cadillac One: Details on president-elect Obama's new limo
Filed under: Etc., Cadillac, Special/Limited Editions
One of the perks of being the Commander-in-Chief is getting to ride in the back of a presidential limousine. And while certain presidents have had hand-me-down chariots, President-Elect Barack Obama is set to get a brand-new, high-tech model.
Looking much like a standard Cadillac DTS stretched to the limits, Obama's new ride is an altogether different beast, with the highest levels of protection, technology and luxury a presidential limo has ever seen. Described as "a rolling tank with windows," word is that the limo is actually not a Cadillac, but rather something built on a medium-duty truck chassis.
Spy shooters have captured the limo testing alongside a pair of GMC Topkick pickups, and keen observers have noted that the wheels and rubber appear to be dimensionally identical to those found on the big trucks (the limo sports 19.5-inch Goodyear Regional RHS tires). Bystanders even contend that a the limo sounds like its sporting a diesel engine underhood.
Style-wise, we can see bits and pieces from a few different Cadillac models. Xenon headlights from the Escalade adorn the front, while the rear seems to have some STS parts. We can also see holders on the top of the massive front fenders where two small American flags would traditionally go and the shots of the doors are absolutely astounding. We'd guess they're at least 20 centimeters (eight inches) thick, to provide a presidential-sized barrier between POTUS and the outside world. The only question left is whether Obama's code name (Renegade) will carry over when he moves into Pennsylvania Ave. on the 20th, or if it the Secret Service will change it to Caddyman.Cadillac One: Details on president-elect Obama's new limo originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:33:00 EST.

The best and brightest technology projects and IT professionals in Texas state and local government were recognized Monday, June 3, at the Best of Texas awards program during GTC Southwest 2013.
The annual two-day conference and awards program hosted by Government Technology and parent company e.Republic brings IT managers and executives to Austin for a full slate of discussions and programs on the present and future of digital government.
At the conference awards program, Austin CIO Stephen Elkins, pictured at left, was recognized with the Demonstrated Leadership in Management of Information Technology Award.
Elkins, who became CIO of Austin in 2010, credited his staff and other city agencies for working to control costs, spur collaboration and drive innovation and efficiency in a city with a growing reputation as a private-sector technology hub.
"In the city of Austin there are several IT shops; there's not just one. But the direction we're moving in is a centralized vision in a decentralized environment," he told Government Technology.
Putting in place a governance process has given business users a voice as projects are identified and funded, he said. Last month Austin also released an annual IT report for the first time to get the word out about what the city is working on. Under Elkins' leadership, the city also is opening an innovation office. It's all part of the plan to get everyone on the same page – and in doing so, avoid costs.
Not too long ago, city departments were making IT purchases alone and doing projects by themselves. But Elkins has begun to turn that around by reforming procurement. Elkins and his team have met with vendors to hammer out cost-efficient master agreements so that Austin is treated as a single enterprise instead of siloed departments. The bulk purchasing is saving money.
Elkins also is taking his collaborative approach on the road. About two years ago, he helped organize and bring together a regional council of CIOs that meets periodically to work on shared projects. Nine agencies now participate, from Houston and Harris County all the way up to Fort Worth. The group also has latched onto bulk purchasing agreements with vendors, and is branching out into other areas such as a regional notification system for cybersecurity incidents and common in-car technology to enhance information sharing.
In another Best of Texas award, Thomas Konzel, Arlington's IT supervisor for GIS, took home the Demonstrated Excellence in Project Management honor.
Konzel, pictured at left with Helen Zhou, GIS applications developer (center) and Russ Irons, database administrator (right), has worked for the city of Arlington in various capacities – nearly all of them GIS – for more than 14 years. His role is much like that of a coordinator who takes ideas and makes them a reality for his customers, the city departments.
"I'm always looking for new ways to use GIS. You can ask anybody who I work with," said Konzel, attributing his success to the city's programmers and database administrators.
A few of the recent projects Konzel and his team have worked on include a public website that shows live camera feeds of construction on major rail crossings, where traffic flow was significantly impacted. Konzel's team initially was asked to post the images to a website via FTP so the public could see them. But the team went a step further by adding a mapping component so the public could see where the locations were instead of having to read the street addresses.
This spring Konzel's team worked with the Arlington Police Department to incorporate real-time information from the PD's fleet onto an interactive map. Within a quick two-week turnaround, Konzel's team improved the department's off-the-shelf dispatch data system. "We took their data and pulled it into our GIS and provided them a map service and JavaScript map they could embed in their application," he explained.
Konzel said his lifelong interest in GIS started while serving in the Air Force as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. "I used to watch film come off the back of a black-and-white processor, and I would just stand there and stare at what was going by and try to pick stuff out," he said.
Konzel is now imparting his enthusiasm to the younger generation. He just finished his first semester teaching a course on GIS applications at a local community college.
Here's a full list of the people and projects recognized at this year's Best of Texas ceremony:
Best Application Serving an Agency's Business Needs
Electronic Content Management, Texas Workforce Commission: During the past four years the Texas Workforce Commission implemented its Enterprise Electronic Content Management projects -- three infrastructure and seven business projects – to improve business processes and service levels. Volume increased from 4 million to 12 million documents per year, while data capture staff and overtime expenses were reduced and the need for temporary staff during peak processing periods was eliminated. Receipt and processing of paper documents in field offices was reduced from 10 days to two days. The project is saving $3.5 million annually.
Best Application Serving an Agency's Business Needs
Bexar County eTruancy Portal: eTruancy is a Web-based electronic filing portal, developed in close collaboration with the Bexar County school districts and Justice Courts, enabling schools to upload and file juvenile truancy cases directly with the County Justice Courts via the Internet. Schools may file individually on a case-by-case basis or in bulk automatically through an online Web service. No longer needing to print thousands of documents and transport them to the court, schools can receive case information within days or even hours. It takes only minutes rather than days to provide resolution.
Best Application Serving the Public
Candidate Campaign Finance Reports Online Search, Bexar County: The Candidate Campaign Finance Reports page provides a one-stop search functionality to display Bexar County elected officials' finance reports. The application has two parts: the upload functionality used by the Bexar County's Elections Department, which uploads documents and creates links to the documents, as they are searched; and the search functionality used by the general public. Bexar County now has the ability to upload campaign finance reports as soon as they are received.
Best Application Serving the Public
Crash Reporting and Analysis for Safer Highways, Texas Department of Transportation: Crash Reporting and Analysis for Safer Highways (CRASH) is a Web-based application that allows law enforcement officers to enter crash information electronically. CRASH eliminates the need to print and mail paper reports, reducing reporting time, report processing costs and receipt of crash data. TxDOT is receiving reports 88 percent sooner, and data is available for reporting 91 percent sooner using CRASH. TxDOT realized cost avoidance of more than $150,000 last year and estimates that that number will more than double in 2013. More than 48 percent of the state's crash report volume is being submitted electronically.
The Green IT Award
Efficiency by Design Phase II -- Campus Data Centers, Lone Star College System: The campus data centers are a part of Lone Star's unified infrastructure initiative. Each campus data center operates a 98 percent virtualized and converged infrastructure platform. By utilizing a liquid-cooled racks and modular design, everything with the exception of adding new physical hardware can be completed remotely. Services that are used by 90,000 students and more than 6,000 faculty and staff members can now be moved between campus data centers in the event of hardware failures or needed maintenance.
Best In-House Developed Application
Event Services Work Order Mobile Application, Austin Convention Center: The Event Services Work Order is a mobile app created internally by IT employees for iPads that replaces the paper system previously used by convention center employees. The app contains all relevant information, such as floor plans for a particular exhibitor's booth -- including hand-written notes for accurate placement -- as well as floor diagrams and other requirements. The mobile app allows employees working on the show floor to have an "up-to-the-minute" view of service orders and their status.
Best IT Collaboration Among Organizations
NCTCOG Emissions Database, North Central Texas Council of Governments: The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) collaborated with Dallas County and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to develop the NCTCOG Emissions Database (NED), a Web portal allowing law enforcement officers 24/7 access to state vehicle inspection records. Before NED, there was no easy way to quickly access state inspection records to check on the validity of a vehicle's certificate. The website provides data from 18 counties performing inspections, a comprehensive list of fraudulent certificate numbers and visual examples, relevant portions of Texas legal code and input for potential leads. NED is now used by almost 8,000 officers in 133 jurisdictions.
Best Mobile/Wireless Project
myInspections Building Inspector Companion, Dallas: The myInspections application replaced 70 ruggedized laptops with iPads, giving building inspectors new capabilities to reorder and reassign inspections, obtain directions and routing, manage assignments of other inspectors, and automatically notify 8,000 registered contractors of arrival time to within one hour. Customers can be informed in real time of arrivals, cancellations, delays and pass/fail results. This app provides an average annual savings of 740,000 hours of customer wait time.
Best Mobile/Wireless Project
Rodeo Austin SCORE IT!: Rodeo Austin is a nonprofit that provides scholarships to Texas youth. The organization's new SCORE IT! mobile app is engaging fans as active participants -- whether at the event or not -- by allowing them to read about the event and the rodeo's scoring method, score the rides, guess the run times and receive prizes in each of seven rodeo events.
Most Innovative Use of Social Media
Inside APD TV, Arlington Police Department: The Arlington Police Department created a new weekly TV program called Inside APD in January. This new program is filmed entirely by police employees using video and computer equipment and is posted weekly on social media platforms, including the department's YouTube channel, Twitter and Facebook.

US producer prices suggest mild inflation
By Christopher S. Rugaber ,AP Saturday, June 14, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
WASHINGTON -- The prices U.S. companies receive for their goods and services fell in May, offering evidence that inflation is mild.
The producer price index, which measures the cost of goods and services before they reach the consumer, dropped 0.2 percent last month, the Labor Department said Friday. The decline was driven lower by cheaper food and gas, and follows two months of strong gains that had suggested inflation might be perking up after being dormant for two years.
In the past 12 months, producer prices have risen 2 percent, matching the Federal Reserve's inflation target. That's down from an annual gain of 2.1 percent in April.
"The underlying details of the report suggest that producer price inflation is still fairly contained despite the big increases in the last few months," Omair Sharif, an economist at RBS Securities, said in a research note.
Wholesale Gas Prices Down 0.9 Percent
Wholesale food prices fell 0.2 percent after four months of steep increases. And wholesale gas prices dropped 0.9 percent, suggesting consumers may see some relief at the gas pump in coming months.
Another reason producer prices fell: retailer and wholesaler profit margins declined 0.5 percent after two months of strong gains.
Excluding the volatile food, energy and profit margin categories, core producer prices were unchanged in May. That's down from a 0.3 percent gain in each of the two preceding months. Core prices have risen 2 percent in the past year.
The drop in profit margins comes after strong gains in April and March. Retailer and wholesaler profit margins had fallen in the winter as companies rolled out discounts to lure shoppers through the doors during harsh winter storms.
Wholesale prices rose 0.6 percent in April and 0.5 percent in May. Some of those increases have been passed onto consumers. The consumer price index, the most widely followed inflation measure, rose 2 percent in April compared with 12 months earlier. That was the largest yearly increase since July.
The Federal Reserve prefers inflation at about 2 percent as a guard against deflation, which occurs when prices actually fall. Deflation can also drag down wages and typically leads to recessions.
Inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, has been mostly below 2 percent for the past two years.
Consumers may like low prices, but weak inflation also occurs when the economy is sluggish. Wage growth has been meager for the past four years, and unemployment remains at historically high levels. That limits consumer spending and makes it harder for businesses to raise prices.
Still, low inflation has enabled the Fed to pursue extraordinary stimulus programs to try and boost the economy. It has begun to unwind some of that stimulus, cutting its monthly bond purchases to US$45 billion from US$85 billion last year.
The bond purchases, intended to lower long-term interest rates, are expected to be trimmed by another US$10 billion when Fed officials meet again next week.

Variational Modelling: Energies, gradient flows, and large deviations
by Mark A. Peletier
Publisher: arXiv 2014
Number of pages: 64
The notes describe the methodology called Variational Modelling, and focus on the application to the modelling of gradient-flow systems. I describe the methodology itself in great detail, and explain why this is a rational modelling route.

If there were any doubts about the intent of Graeme Wheeler, governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, to keep raising interest rates, they were put to bed on Thursday when it was made clear there's more hikes to come.
The latest move, one quarter of a percentage point, to 3.25 per cent was not a surprise. But the tone in the accompanying statement was.
No fears of a rising New Zealand dollar for this central bank as the governor made it clear that he thinks eventually the kiwi will adjust to lower commodity prices.
Problem is it hasn't just yet. The kiwi jumped to US86.30 cents from US85.29 cents after the move on Thursday and is up from US77.5 cents a year ago.
The key message from the RBNZ is any strength in the New Zealand dollar is not going to stop another rate hike. This will add to the bid tone for the kiwi and will also help support the Australian dollar.
Wheeler made headlines earlier this year when he became the first central banker from a developed economy to hike rates, adding to the appeal of the New Zealand dollar where the cash rate is now at its highest level since 2009. The third consecutive hike from the RBNZ also comes as the Prime Minister is looking to be elected for a third term in office in September.
It also adds to the contradicting policy of other major central banks right now with the US Federal Reserve looking to exit their easy monetary policy, while the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan keep adding to theirs. In Australia rates are expected to be on hold for quite some time. Some experts had tipped the New Zealand dollar to fall to US 80 cents by the end of this year, mainly thanks to a rise in the US dollar, but this latest hawkish tone puts those sorts of forecasts in jeopardy.
Analysts no doubt raked over Wheeler's comments to see if they were all as hawkish as it first appeared and they quickly realised they were. It's full steam ahead for more rate hikes with the next one probably in July. The cash rate is expected to hit 4.5 per cent by September 2015.
There was simply no back down of the bullish view that the economy is expanding at a decent clip thanks to construction, consumption and "historically high" commodity prices.
And in a surprise move the bank also stopped talking about the impact of its currency on any further timing of rate hikes.
Clearly the central bank think the current level of the kiwi is not sustainable, but when it comes to its own forecasts it's interesting to note that it has only lowered them by a very small amount.
However, in a bold move it no longer mentioned a direct link between the currency and monetary policy, modifying its view from 'the speed and extent to which the [cash rate] will be raised will depend on economic data and our continuing assessment of emerging inflationary pressures, including the extent to which the high exchange rate leads to lower inflationary pressure' to 'the speed and extent to which the OCR will need to rise will depend on future economic and financial data, and its implications for inflationary pressures".

4.56 or 4.88 with 35s
I have a 97 TJ 4.0L High Output I-6 with a 5.5" Long Arm lift kit. I'm gonna put 35" tires on it and i could use some advice on my gears. I have 4.10s in it now and am considering 4.56 or 4.88 gears. I want to have a like-stock or better-than-stock ride so which ones? Thanks
what transmission do you have
I'm running 4.56 with 35's and I have the 3speed auto
it I had the overdrive tranny or a 5speed standard I would have gone with 4.88's mostly for the lower offroad gearing
Auto or Stick?
Either way, 4.88's would be the way to go really.
idk exactly what transmission I have but I know its a 5 speed stick.. Good! I was hopin yall'd say 4.88s
yep I agree with the 5 speed I would go 4.88's
4.88 btw you have a ax15 for your tranny.
Alright thanks yall 4.88 it is. One question though: how bad is this gonna make my jeep run in 5th gear?
With 35's it should bring it back close to stock.
Go 4.88 for sure. I ran the 4.88/35" tire/5-speed combination for years in my TJ and 4.88 is ideal for that tire size and transmission combination. 4.56 just doesn't go quite far enough towards restoring the performance lost with a 35" tire. It'll be sweet in 5th gear too, RPMs won't be too high (2750 at 70 mph) and you'll have plenty of power at highway speeds. :)
Ok so I put the Jeep on the rack today and looked the diffs over and I think the front is D30 and rear D35 and the gearing is 3.07 with 3 speed auto now my question the front cover has REV on it does this simply mean it is reverse cut or something else and if the front is reverse cut I assume the rear would be normal cut is this correct and what would be my options on gearing?I would like to go 4.56 being only 3 speed I assume this would be good considering it really doesn't do to bad right now so any input i would be greatfull.As far as DO-it -yourself??? I have put new pinion seals and spiders and even new ring carrier bearings but have never changed ring and pinion.
Your TJ's front Dana 30 runs straight cut gears, it's the YJ and XJ that run reverse-cut gears in the front axle. The proper axle ratio depends on what size tires you plan to run. R&P gear jobs are not for the casual home mechanic, you really need to know what you're doing to avoid turning the new gears into toast in short order. That or have at least an entire weekend (or two) to learn by doing so long as you have patience, detailed instructions with photos, and the right tools like a dial indicator for measuring the backlash.
I do all of my TJ's work short of engine overhauls but I won't tackle an R&P installation. I've paid for two R&P installs and that was $$$ well spent. :)
I can rebuild a engien and measure and check and do all the needed stuff to rebuild a engien but have never done a r&p but would love to learn how to. I have a general idea.;)
I have done inner and outter axle bearings for customers before and with the inner the hog head has to be pulled from the houseing and new shims at the time of reinstall but I hate doing it is the thing cause the least little bit off and you get a wine or a roar and I do have patients to a point:crash:I have even done one once about 3 years ago just by feel and got it right the first time with no noise and it is a still going to this day.But aside all that I am running 33s and don't plan on going any bigger any time soon.Now with 3.07 gears I would have to go with carrier and all correct?If so would it be more practical to go ahead and put a locker in the rear at the same time???? P.S never done 4x4 either it has been 2wd chevy and ford full size.
The TJ's axle doesn't have a 3rd member (hogs head) that can be removed to make an R&P installation easier. It has to be done inside the axle housing. :)
Good info Jerry.Haven't had the cover off one yet.That tells me POF4x4 will be getting a call from me.:confused:So what would I be lookin at for the R&P both,rear Locker,and if the carries doesn't come out what else will I need???
Jerry I just done a search and found pics of the D35 R&P and the carrier unbolts with end caps the same as most other rear ends I have worked on so the carrier does come out so what are you talking about cant be removed for the regearing?
By the way, here's a pic of a 3rd member, you can see why they're often called a "hog's head". :)

Carrier Weather Maker not turning on
I have a Carrier Weather Maker and this morning I woke up to a 60 degree house. The thermostat was set to 68 for night time. I thought it was the thermostat at fault so I bypassed the thermostat on the control board and still nothing. I pushed the safety panel switch/pin and I saw a relay activate but the collector fan did not turn on. I walked away for a few mins and then went back and pushed it a few more times and the fan kicked on then the burner then the blower. I pulled the jumper off the control panel and it all stayed on so it's not the thermostat. I thought it was just a sticky safety switch and all was fixed so I put the panels back on. 5 mins later the furnace shut off then after a couple mins it kicked back on. It has been working normally for the last hour but there is still something wrong. I checked the vent and fresh air pipe and there were no obstructions.
Any ideas?
Hi rickvj
It sounds like you have a late 80's or early 90's furnace. This unit should have a board in it that has a number of CESO01157, or it could have a HH84AA021 circuit board. Both of these used a flat molex plug and were suceptable to moisture. Shut the power off to the furnace and remove the flat molex plug off of the edege of the board. This will be a white plug about 2 1/2" by about 3/8". Use a flashlight and look inside of it, if you see any corrosion. Get a cup that the plug will fit completely inside of, use a Coca-Cola classic and immerse the plug in it for about 15 min. Remove the plug from the cup and clean off the Coke with plain warm water. Let the plug air dry for about an hour. Make sure to check the mating surface on the board. You can us a dry tooth brush to clean this portion. You should be fine after that.
Good luck
Hi Carrierman
Thanks for the info. That was exactly what the problem was. I pulled the Molex plug off the pcb and I could see where moisture had dripped right down the left most white wire contact and had been arcing. Half of the pad on the pcb had been arced away and the little 2wire contacts that are supposed to contact that pad weren't making it after I emery'd teh corrosion off. I built the contact back up with a little solder and plugged it back in and it works fine now. I am however concerned when looking at the burned pcb where the contact was and want to replace the whole thing. Is that white leftmost wire 120V or 24V?????? Also, where do I purchase the pcb? The local HVAC shops won't sell parts to you unless you are authorized. and the number you gave me is two digits off - my pcb is HH84AA015 not 021 - are they pretty much the same or what?
Follow Up
Well, after a few hours of phone calls I found a local heating and plumbing contractor/supply dealer (besides Sears) who will sell parts to me the ordinary guy - not just other contractors, and they specialize in Carrier. I got lucky and they had a new main board in stock and it was 10 mins before quittin time so I was able to get over there and get the board before they closed. The only down-side of getting the part from them is they don't take returns. The up-side is I got the board installed in about 15 mins and it works fine plus the board was a newer model with more safety features and other stuff made to replace the older models.
Also, Carrierman - that model number you gave me is the PCB the contractor gave me.
Thanks for the help and saving me a couple hundred $$$$$$$
Having the same problem...thanks for the advice CarrierMan
:thumbup: Hi Again.
Glad to see you guys have your problems fixed. If you end up needing them, there is a wire harness still available for these furnaces. The last I knew you could get them online for about $20.00 plus freight. You would only need it if the connectors in the molex plug are corroded off. And as always I will help when I am available.
Good luck, have a safe and warm winter.

Food for Thought — The Re-Education of School Lunches
Krrb is now part of the Apartment Therapy family! Check out the Marketplace for an even wider selection of furnishings and home decor.
Visit the Apartment Therapy Marketplace »
It was the gelatinous, flat, grey Salisbury Steak sandwich that finally got me off the hook from buying school lunches. Inviting my mother to have lunch with me at school one day resulted in me being able bring meals from home. Phew! In the early 1990s, salad bars and other vegetarian options were nonexistent in my public school lunchroom, and a homemade PB&J had more appeal and nourishment than my school's daily dose of processed mystery meat. But thanks to voices both big (renown chef Jamie Oliver) and small (nine-year-old Martha Payne of NeverSeconds), the school lunch is facing a much needed overhaul. From nonprofits to state officials, more attention is being paid to what students eat and resulting consequences of poor test scores, attention spans and rising obesity rates.
Despite budget contraints and food availability, the conversation around the school lunchroom table is opening up to healthier choices and sustainable methods. Menus nowadays often include oven baked "fries" and whole grain pasta and bread, raw grapes and tomatoes in lieu of canned fruit. A recent study released in the Pediatrics medical journal shows that states with strict legislation to remove junk food from school cafeterias has resulted in lowering child obesity rates. Oliver has fueled the movement with his Food Revolution campaign aimed at removing sugary, processed foods from lunch trays while highlighting improved schools along the way.
Furthering the movement are initiatives to connect schools with local farms, such as Farm to School. Even the United States Department of Agriculture is getting involved to make small farmers the main food suppliers for student lunches.
It seems like the biggest struggle has been educating government and school officials, food service workers and parents that children's success is dependent on the food choices they eat. Children have been more welcoming of whole grains, meats, fruits and vegetables that don't require a can opener or a dictionary. Creating healthier lunch options for students is an ongoing conversation, but the changes are visible. Take a look at What's For School Lunch to see for yourself!

One commenter has raised a question about my statement that I have no problem with Calvinism in confessionally Reformed circles (churches, denominations, etc.). I made that statement in my previous post about my public conversation with Mike Horton.So, let me clarify that.First, by "no problem with" I don't mean "agree with!" What I mean is, I don't object to Reformed folks holding to their Calvinism within their own ecclesiastical settings that are confessionally bound. The same is true … [Read more...]

MURRAY - Anne Marie Pederson, of Murray, KY., passed away on April 6, 2014.
She is survived by twin sons, Robert Koenig (Cadiz, KY.) and Russel Koenig (West Fargo, ND.), their wives Julie and Sherry, six grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and her two "beautiful babies," Max and Gigi (long-haired miniature Dachshunds). Her husband, retired Navy Commander John C Miller, joined Georgetown University as a senior administrator and retired 1990. He passed away in 2010 at age 85, survived by his children: John Jr., Alyson, Linda, Carol, and Dorothy; ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Pederson was born into an American Indian family of ten children in Whitearth, MN. The eldest child, she is preceded in death by both parents and three siblings, all the result of cancer. After a widely varied career in the United States and Germany, she chose Murray for her retirement.
In 1969 she was awarded a scholarship from the State of Minnesota Department of Indian Affairs and earned degrees from NDSU (Fargo) in Nursing and Criminal Justice.
During her busy career, Anne worked in detention facilities in Virginia, Washington state, and Washington D.C.; participated in the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary in Fargo, ND.; spent five years in the Air National Guard; and served as a Federal Womans Program Manager in Germany.
Her accomplishments are many: 1974, appointed to the North Dakota Governor's Council on Human Resources, Status of Women Commission; fostered the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment in ND; 1975-1976, nominated to the Outstanding Young Women of America; 1977, as a member of the Happy Houligans, awarded the Secretary of the Air Force Expert marksmanship medal; 1978 awarded the Air Force Reserve Meritorious Service Ribbon for exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity along with her Sergeant's Stripes; 1980 received an Honorable Discharge; 1974-1978, served on the North Dakota Commission on the Status of Women, a sub-committee of the Governor's Council on Human Resources.
A former colleague found Anne Pederson to be "a very warm and compassionate fellow worker." One supervisor said she "strives for continuous self-improvement." Her supervisor at the District of Columbia General Hospital wrote, "If my experience is a guide, I can only assume that any organization that Ms. Pederson becomes part of becomes a better organization because of her presence.
Having visited every continent except Asia, Anne planned to go there this year with her grandson, Tommy. Sadly, cancer interrupted those plans.
Along with her family, friends, and colleagues, the community of Murray, KY will feel the loss of this capable and active humanitarian. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Rumor has it that grandson Alex will make an appearance, impersonating both Elvis and Elton John.
Interment will be in the family plot in Waubun, MN.
Memorials may take the form of donations to the Murray-Calloway Endowment For Healthcare, Att. Residential Hospice House, 803 Poplar Street, Murray, Kentucky 42071

Dams & Diversions
In this Section:
Overall, Canada is blessed with freshwater resources. But their availability varies considerably from season to season and year to year, and from one region to another. Faced with floods, droughts, and other problems of water supply, engineers have stretched available resources by means of structures: dams, which hold back flows for release when they are more useful or less destructive, and diversions, which redirect the resource to where it is more useful. In fact, dams and diversions often go together: water is stored in a reservoir formed behind a dam, and then withdrawn by ditch, canal, or pipeline from its natural course for transfer elsewhere.
Generally, rivers are dammed to create reservoirs for power production, downstream flood control, recreation, or irrigation. Canada ranks as one of the world's top ten dam builders. Although the Canadian Dam Association's register of dams (2003) reports 933 large dams*, there are many thousands of small dams.
Source: Canadian Dam Association's register of dams (2003)
In Canada, large dams are used primarily for hydroelectric power generation (596 dams), but are also used for the following purposes:
- multi-purposes (86 dams)
- tailings (82 dams)
- water supply (57 dams)
- irrigation (51 dams)
- flood control (19 dams)
- recreation (7 dams)
- other purposes (35 dams)
When a dam is constructed it can have an effect on the water quality of a river system. The land behind it is flooded which may mean the loss of valuable wildlife habitat, farmland, forests, or town sites. Accumulation of sediments in the reservoir can have a detrimental effect on water quality by creating increased concentrations of harmful metal and organic compounds in the reservoir. If vegetation is not removed behind the dam before flooding, other problems can occur. For example, the eutrophication process may occur at a faster rate and adversely affect the water quality.
* A large dam is defined as being higher than 15 metres or, under certain conditions, higher than 10 meters.
In the past, diverting flow from one basin to another has been primarily based on economic development through energy generation, irrigation, and industrial output. In Canada, major diversion projects have been developed by power utilities to increase flows for hydroelectric production, especially in northern projects such as the Churchill-Nelson region in Manitoba and in the James Bay region in Quebec. Projects have also been constructed for irrigation purposes and industrial development such as aluminum production.
Interbasin diversions can have undesirable social and environmental consequences. For example, the amount of water being removed in relation to the amount of water available, existing water demand and uses, quality of water being transferred, including the potential for the introduction of undesirable non-native species and pathogens, can all have significant impacts. The implication of introducing non-native species is particularly significant when major drainage basins are involved.
Social structures may also be affected. Sometimes communities are flooded out or people are forced to change their livelihood or otherwise modify their traditional way of life.
While, in the past, major diversions and transfers have been used to fulfill water resource and economic development objectives, it is widely recognized that we have moved away from the era of large scale diversions and transfers in Canada and the United States. Environmental and social considerations are making these transfers of water a less desirable option. Present approaches now favour reducing the demand on water uses.

For equity markets, the US debt ceiling fiasco must be the least scary crisis in history — at least judged by the amount of short-selling which (isn't) going on, according to number-crunchers at financial data provider Markit.
For all the talk of imminent Armageddon, just 2.3% of the S&P 500 is on loan with the shorters, close to record lows. On this side of the pond, an even smaller 1.2% of the FTSE 100 is being shorted, down from 1.7% in June.
That won't cheer Dalton Philips, the Morrisons chief executive, as 4.8% of the struggling supermarket's shares are being bet against at the moment.
The blue chip stock most firmly in the sights of the shorters is oil and gas services firm Weir Group, where punters are betting plunging natural gas prices will do long-term damage to prospects.

Re: Sen. Mitch McConnell is warning us..
It's no suprise to me. It's all about Obama's Socialist empire. This has been an ongoing thing, just like Katrina. martial law and the taking of guns from the citizens with no recourse. I've talked about this many times before.
Wake up for Christsakes...... This ISN'T A GAME....
Nothing new, no revelation. Guess what, the legislation was enacted during Clinton's tenure that allowed foreign troops on US Soil to fire on citizens in time of national emergency or declared martial law and empowered US troops under orders to fire on citizens as well.
Nothing new here, no revelation, no crystal ball.
The last 30 years has been a march toward Socialism, Clinton, Bush and now Obama. It's finally starting to sink in, now that they are after the guns. It's all been happening for decades and all of us, me included have been passively accepting their ********.
I hate to break it to everyone but, if this turns into civil disobedience or an uprising against the government.... Guess what folks, those adversaries, the military that don't stand down or the LE's that don't stand down are gonna be returning fire. People are going to be killed. Face the facts here. This is not fantasy and you can't wish it away. This animal (troops or other empowered to kill you) SHOOT BACK. Your deer or youe elk or your Dahl Sheep don't. DON'T EVER FORGET THAT AND DEAD IS DEAD.
You can't take your AR or your 6 shot pump and go play Clint Eastwood. This isn't about playing and I don't believe the gravity has settled in. You go out and play bad ass, chances are someone will drill your ass....
For each and every person, it is a PERSONAL CHOICE if it comes to that.
This is NOT A VIDEO GAME WHERE YOU CAN TURN IT OFF AND GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. THIS IS REAL.
The guy in the video.... I knew that 10 years ago....old news.
I apologize for the profanity but I read some of this drivel and I think to myself how uninformed some people are.
Thats why I say, do this diplomatically and reasonably and exhause every possible avenue before resorting to force because resistance will be met with opposing resistance and possible death.

Re: Sen. Mitch McConnell is warning us..
Flip hit the nail right on the head. It's a hell of a lot easier to do it in the ballot box so GET ACTIVE!
If the ballotbox fails, it's a damn ugly scenario...just take a look at Syria. It's not that it can't be done, it's a question of who will have the testicular fortitude to stand up to oppression. I presonally hope to never be faced with that decision, but if I am, I will do my damnedest to choose the righteous one.
If you want an idea of what has been going on behind the scenes, search for info about Administrative Subpoenas, then look into the NDAA, then check out the current iteration of the PATRIOT act. They have systematically eroded the Bill of Rights for years in the name of "security" it's time to make a stand folks....
There's no time quite like trigger time!

Re: Sen. Mitch McConnell is warning us..
One mans ceiling is another mans floor...
All of us need to heavily discount what we hear via the media and take an in depth look it whats really transpiring.
I care less about Mitch McConnell. guess what, he's a professional politician (read in it for the money) just like all the rest and thats bi-partisan across the board.
Politicians go to Washington to become millionaires off the backs of the working class...you and me. I'm tired of it.
I could deal with it in the past because they basically left me alone. I could deal with high cigarette costs (I smoke), I could deal with wearing seat belts, I could deal with wearing a motorcycle helmet, I could deal with being x-rayed for weapons before getting on a plane or going into the courthouse, I could deal with higher taxes, I could deal with high gasoline costs, I could deal with all the ******** regulations that the government put on me because in their opinion, I didn't have the intelligence to do the right thing for myself but I have to draw the line at a government that wants to strip me of my Constitutional rights, something that my forefathers enjoyed and took for granted because it was the law of the land, forever and ever simply because the government wants to change the very fabric of the way I live and they way my children will live into a Socialist society.
History has proven time and time again that a Socialist utopia is doomed to failure and the misery and loss of life that accompanies that demise is unfathomable.
That is exactly what is occurring and has been occurring for the last 30 years in this country. We as individuals and collectively need to say, enough is enough and it's time to stand our ground.
Thats how I feel. Maybe you don't. Thats your right, but make no mistake about it. In a Socialist government you will have no rights, you will have no opinion and you will have no recourse. You have it now, but are about to loose it, exactly what Obama wants and all the gun bangers. They want to take from you, the last barrier to them that stands in the way of their totarian control of the population, THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS AGAINST A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT..... Thats what the Second Amendment says and directly implies.
Our founding fathers were wise in the fact that they knew the population need to have a final check in the checks and balances of central government. They knew an armed militia made up of citizens was the ultimate deterrent to a tyrannical government and oppression, thats why the Second Amendment was written as it is and why Obama wants to malign and reminder it harmless. It's the only thing standing in his way.
We are at a pinnacle not only in history, but a pinnacle in the very makeup of our government, how it operates and what it represents to the people, you and me.
While I did not vote for Obama in 2012, he was elected by a majority of the population and certified by the electoral college, something I personally believe should be abolished for many reasons I won't get into here.
Obama revels in the fact that he won, what he seems to forget is that it wasn't a landslide victory, but rather a close election considering his opponent, almost too close (popular vote) to call. Obama really don't have a concise majority that will subvert to his every whim though he believes the population will, and has up to now. We have become a country of passive followers and Obama knows that. You can tell that from his speeches and from his mannerisms. He's arrogant and condescending devoid of diplomacy and tact as evidenced by his politically motivated attack on the NRA for one example.
Now is the time to make that stand in a unilateral manner and show our solidarity against his Socialist agenda, however, we need to do it in a non-violent and diplomatic way, through organizations like the NRA and your local rifle and pistol organizations, by writing and expressing your opinions and concerns to all elected officials from Obama right on down to your local sheriff and police departments.
There may come a time in the future where we must make individual decisions based on our beliefs and our principles but that isn't now.
I genuinely want everyone of us on here to get through this and be able to enjoy the pastime we all love without government intervention that is not needed or wanted.
........Off my soapbox.
If there are any miss spellings I apologize for that as well.

Re: Sen. Mitch McConnell is warning us..
No get back on it! Your from the generation directly preceding mine. A lot of wht you talk about occurring 30yrs ago, I was either to young to know or just wasn't aware enough. Some of it I have been aware of (or the possibility of) for the last 15yrs or so. I am aware now though.
Keep in mind the animals we shoot for food and display are not bullet proof. Contrary to popular belief, they bleed and die just like they did a hundred years ago. Being competent with a given rifle is far more important than impressive ballistics and poor shootability. High velocity misses never put a steak in the freezer.

Re: Sen. Mitch McConnell is warning us..
Sometimes it's tough being an old fart (just ask Len and Roy)......
I just want people on here to undersatand that all of whats occuring right now has been brewing for a long, long time. It's just Obama has sped up the timeline.
I'm not that far from the endless dirt nap, the end of my timeline is much closer than the beginning, consequently, I want to know that when I'm gone, the very things I've held dear throughout my life will continue through future generations. Your children (and mine) as well as their children and on, will continue to live and prosper in a society and under a government governed
by the people, for the people.
Thats is not Obama's vision, or Pelosi or Feinstein or Cumo or any of them, Republican or Democrat. In actuality, what we really need is a 'cleansing' if you will of stagnant carrear politicians. We need serious term limits and we need to abolish the good old boy government.
Which is why I urge everyone to join the NRA, to write letters, to contact local officials, talk to their friends, even people on the street and explain whats going on. That furthers the 'we the people, for the people' attitude and thats what will allow us to triumph in the end and preserve our right to bear arms and the entire Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In essence it's not about winning anything. It's about preserving what we have taken for granted for decades that we are about to loose. It's that important and I'm all focused on it, all the time...
No politician can ignore the majority. Majority always rules, even in a Socialistic govermnet, ultimately the majority is the driving force behind it's demise.
I've said before I wish I'd gotten into this longer range stuff earlier in life but I still want to enjoy what I have left without some asshole politician taking my guns, especially one that knows nothing about why I have firearms in the first place.

Re: Sen. Mitch McConnell is warning us..
sidecarflip im 78 yrs old and i agree with most of what youve said.
lots of elections have been close in our lifetimes. but there were always
winners werent there. this guy won and he won because more people cared he did than those of us who cared that he didnt. its that simple.
no doubt lots of gun owners voted for him. some are probably members here.
we all know the statistics on gun owners and nra membership.
thats a dead horse issue that wont change much. as for someone saying we
need to gear up for next time, what about last time? the most important election in our lifetime and we lost it. now its going to be next time?
is there any chance he could have about 12 million more voters by next time?
is there any chance he could own the supreme court by next time?
can we count on guys like boehner and mcconnel next time?
this guy is in the cat bird seat and he knows it and we put him there.
there aint gonna be a next time.

You got me by a few years, I'm 63. Len is older than me by a year, Roy is a bit older too. That makes me the young'in, I guess.
I'm not sure if there will be a next time or not. It will all depend on the awareness level of the citizens and just how much they are willing to passively accept.
Which brings me to a point and that is. the media has perpetrated Obama to be a messiah of sorts, sort of a reincarnated Jesus Christ and the soother and healer of all ills. Problem is, he isn't. He is not even a good statesman, what he is, is a purveyor of promises he can't keep.
I'll bare my ass to the world and admit here, on a public forum, in front of all, that I voted for Obama over McCain and Palin. Obama promised me hope and change and I bought into the chirade. I didn't like McCain because I was sick of war, not that war isn't necessary for a robust economy as we've seen in the past, a war economy galvanizes the citizens, creates jobs and increases wealth among the citizens, but I was tired of the non war conflict scenario, remember, I'm a product of the Vietnamn era. I'll never forget 'Nam and I'll never forget the way the American public treated Vitenamn vets. That was a shameful thing. I didn't care for Palin either. Granted, she had nice legs but I saw nothing from the neck up. 2 non-leaders are as bad as one leader and Obama wooed me with his rhetoric and his JFK style. I got to see 4 years of a non functioning president who was on endless vacations and got increasing belligerent with the very people who voted him in office. The stigma with Obama is anything said in a negative tone is instantly construed as racial, however, Obama can sling tons of **** without any retribution.
Then along came Romney, who's from Michigan, where I live btw. Ronney rose above the other candidates by sheer financial strength alone. I much preferred the early black candidate, the one that was conveniently smeared by the media as an adulterer, not that Clinto or Kennedy wasn't. I foubd it inyertesting that he got smeared and as soon as he dropped out, everything ended plus all the women he supposedly wanked were from Chicago, Obama's home turf. How convenient. Anyway, I wasn't all the fond of Romney, he is big money, a prerequsite for being a Beltway Bozo anyway. I liked his running mate, it should have been the other way around but I voted Romney anyway. I'm a Ron Paul guy at heart but why toss a vote so Romney got mine.
What put Obama in was the entitlement people plus the moderates that jumped ship plus all the negative, except for Obama media ********, the best reason for discounting anything from any media outlet that comes across the 11PM news.
Which brings all of us th the present. As I said before, this issue, above all previous issues crosses all lines. This has never occured in Obama's ternure and one reason Obama is singling out the NRA as a political target. His handlers full well know this isuue could very well be the end of the Chancellors reign. When you take just the 4 million NRA members (as of January 20th), plus all those citizens that don't belong but own firearms and those than aren't at all vocal, like my neighbors and yours, you then have a very large slice of America and they are all pissed and they are all watching and they are all becoming aware that something 'stinks in Denmark' and stinks like ****... and they know who's stinking. It's Obama and his disciples.
Something is going to give this time. Obama's free ride is over and it's time to pay the piper. He knows it too.
If you watch carefully, you'll note he's on the defensive constantly, like a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and don't want to get slapped. Good example is surrounding himself with the Sandy Hook kids. How crass? No. How cunning.
He's not stupid but he knows he's bitten off a lot bigger bite than he can chew.
Like I've said all along, diplomacy and perserverance should triumph and if it don't, then, it becomes a personal decision, an individual decision.
I imagine you feel like I do. I know what I stand for and where I stand. That comes with age.
Again' please excuse the language and the spelling. My mind goes faster than my fingers. It used to be faster, but age is slowing it down some....

Thread: Cassandra Substitution
July 2nd, 2013 03:33 PM #1
Cassandra Substitution
I am still loving Cassandra (which has been my favourite girl name for around five years now) but have recently succumbed to that most terrible of name-lover afflictions - a gradual supposition that there might be something better out there. Can anyone suggest names similar in style to Cassandra (or other names in my signature) which preferably begin with a C, and flow well with Eira Baudelaire (EYE-ruh BOE-duh-lair) as middle names? I hope it's not too much to ask - looking back over my post, the requirements for this imaginary name seem to be a little demanding, even for the namemaestros that make up the Berry community, so please don't worry if you can't think of anything. I'm hoping this feeling of doubt will eventually disappear...
Thank you!

What cam specs work well with centrifugal Superchargers?

What cam specs work well with centrifugal Superchargers?
Hey all,
I just bought a Vortech V-1 S trim centrifugal head unit, and I plan on boosting my 406 SBC in the camaro via blow thru carb setup at about 5psi for now. Maybe add an intercooler later. The blower is maybe a touch on the smaller side, but I got it for a nice price and I think it will work for what I'm trying to accomplish, which is about 650HP or so at the crank (blower is good to 680HP or so)
I have the goods for a hydraulic roller cam, but I need a new cam to go with the blower combo.
THe motor is a 9.9:1 SBC, Dart Pro1 230cc heads, 1 3/4 headers, single plane intake, 750 mighty demon, T-56 trans, 4.86:1 gears, 28" tires.
So, what kind of cam would work well for this? I was doing some reading, and it seems that a cam for a positive displacement blower should have less overlap than an ideal cam for a NA motor (NA - 108 LSA, blower = 112 or 114 LSA). But, then they said that the cam for a centrifugal would be more like a NA motor, since boost doesn't come in until a higher RPM. So you would use a LSA thats tighter than that for a positive displacement blower.
That makes me think that the same basic cam used on a NA motor, would probably work pretty decent in a centifugally supercharged motor.
Anybody have any good thoughts on this?
ENgine simulator 3.2 is telling me a 222 / 252 cam, 110LSA , on a 108 ICL would give 680 HP at 5.0 psi on the top end at 6000, and 640 ftlbs otrque at 5000.
Would that large of a difference between intake and exhaust duration work very well, or is the program flawed in its "thinking."??

I've had some gray since my late 20s (also thanks to my dad LOL). I have been using Color by Robert Craig for about 15 years and love it!
Hair Color and Hair Care by Robert Craig Salon Products, Ltd.
It is very gentle as it does not contain alcohol/ammonia/peroxide, it is deposit-only and won't lift color. I have medium to dark brown hair and use Golden Chestnut (or sometimes Light Chestnut for the roots only).
As with any color, you do need to choose a color about 2-3 shades lighter than you want to end up with, as most hair colors end up darker than they box shows.
In using the lighter shade, it also turns my grays into natural highlights.
LMK if you have questions or want help choosing a shade if you want to try it. I've been named the resident RC Guru as I've helped lots of curlies choose colors and use RC successfully.

I haven't worked on gen4's but I have done a lot of work on gen3's. The trigger I like best for my carry Glocks is this;
o Smooth faced trigger from a full sized gun.
o Glock 3.5 connector (part #00135) from glockparts.com.
o Six pound trigger spring from glockparts.com.
o A full 25-cent trigger job, which is polishing of all of the contact components with a Dremel, polishing cream, and a polishing wheel.
These mods result in a measured trigger pull of between 4 pounds 12-14 ounces and 5 pounds and will be smooth with a crisp let off and excellent reset.

Mind and body operate in tandem, which is why stress causes headaches and slamming your hand in the door makes you forget math. Restore your faculties with today's Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $29 for a one-hour Swedish or deep-tissue massage (a $60 value)
- $39 for the above massage plus a 30-minute facial (a $95 value)
Swedish massage alleviates stress through long, fluid strokes that rely on light to medium pressure. More intense deep-tissue techniques rout out buried muscle knots with focused pressure. The optional facial quickly cleanses visages with exfoliation, moisturizer, and intensive-care serums.
The Beach House Day Spa
The soothing spa treatments at The Beach House Day Spa bring seaside serenity indoors to private rooms painted the colors of sand and surf. The dry heat inside a far infrared sauna is designed to drive out toxins and rev up circulation, burning up to 700 calories over the course of a 30-minute session. Clients' faces protrude from the sauna's half-cylindrical canopy throughout the treatment, allowing noses to sniff wafting aromatherapy scents and mouths to heckle skin to sweat faster. Opt for the Her Mystical facial, and spa professionals will simultaneously pamper cheeks with quality cleansers, treatment creams, and exfoliants, giving them a fresh, dewy glow to match well-warmed extremities. The languid yet sure-handed strokes of the Swedish massage work to engender a sense of relaxation, warmth, and well-being, much like a good night's sleep in a pile of meatballs. Advanced massage digs deeper to extract nagging pain, and prenatal massage targets the specific painful points experienced by mothers-to-be.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello I will help you with your question,
This vehicle does have keyless entry installed and the remotes are lost?
To add a remote to the Keyless Entry system on your vehicle will require a Tech 2 scantool so you will have to find an ACDelco shop or a good independent shop that has the tool. Of course the dealer will have a Tech 2 also.
Here are the instructions even though you do not have the tool yet
Programming RKE Transmitters With RCDLR Module IMPORTANT: All key fobs must be programmed each time any one fob is programmed.The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.
Let me know if you have further questions about this
Thank you
