General Joseph Votel claimed militant attacks in eastern regions of Aghanistan have been sharply reduced over the past year. He credited aggressive miltary operations, outreach programs to tribal leaders, and a more effective Afghan fighting force as principle reasons for the improvement. However, General Votel also noted: "I think if there's going to be an offensive in the spring–the offensive is going to be ours." There have been 36 attacks so far this month which is a 35% reduction from the same period last year. He credited the high number of militant leaders killed with reducing militant efforts in the eastern area of Afghanistan.
During the past few weeks there have been additional examples of militants placing themselves in a village and engaging opponents in fighting. This invariably results in civilian casualties which people frequently blame on NATO and government forces or the United States Army. Afghan authorities have pleaded with international forces to cooerindate closely with their Afghan counterparts to prevent such civilian casualties.
There has been an active Pakistan Army offensive launched against militants in its northwest region and one can wonder if that has impacted Taliban forces in eastern Afghanstan.

Hello everyone.
I am trying to add a feature in my website where users can make a payment. The amount to be payed is calculated via PHP on my site, and I need to pass this value along some other variables located in my PHP, to the Paypal payment page. However, I have not been able to achieve this and it makes me wonder if Paypal even offers this possibility in the first place.
I made a diagram that shows more or less what I am trying to achieve:
Basically, I tried to insert a Paypal 'Pay Now' button on my site, but when the user clicks it, it prompts for payment amount input, which makes it useless for me. I need that Paypal checkout page to display the amount to charge with the variable I'm passing to it. I know that I can add variables to the button on creating via the Paypal website, but it only allows me to set static prices.
Apart from this, I also would like to know if when the transaction finishes succesfully on the Paypal payment page, do I get some sort of return value/signal that lets me know if there was a success/error ? I need this signal in order to do some other processes on my website with PHP.
I would greatly appreciate help, I'm at a total loss and I need to implement this badly for a serious project I'm working on.
See https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables for the list of all the parameters that you can pass to Paypal.
The amount is one of the values that you are allowed to pass.
There are a couple of custom fields that you can use to pass values that Paypal doesn't have listed - if you have lots of data that you need to assocate with a payment then store all the info in a database and pass the key of that record in a custom field so you can use it to retrieve the rest of the data.
I checked that site before, I tried sending my price value within HTML with the code given to me when I create a Pay Now button, I tried sending it as a hidden input but it won't work. In paypal it says "Use a line break between each variable. The variables will appear in your button's HTML code. Learn more" however the code given to me is always the same, I don't see any change.
So if my variables are not supposed to be passed as hidden inputs within the button's form, then how? What am I doing wrong...
<input type='hidden' name='amount' value='$price'>
The above code is inside the form code generated by PayPal. All of this code is echoed.
Thanks for this link, I will look into it.
Ok. I finally managed to solve all the above and just need to add one final thing.
After this payment I recieve from a user, I need to make another Paypal transaction to another Paypal account, automatically. Is this even possible? The only thing I can think of right now would be to call some sort of procedure in my IPN after its been successfully recieved. But do I write the procedure?
This is the final step for this Paypal implementation, help would greatly be appreciated.
You can use either adaptive payments apihttps://www.x.com/content/introducing-adaptive-payments
or mass payment apihttps://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_api_masspay
bear in mind a transaction fee will be incurred by either the sender or recipient depending on how you set this up
Might be a bit off topic, but if you want seamless credit card site integration (and, thus, being able to do whatever you want with your orders/data), I would suggest looking into stripe.com

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
As productive as the first day of the Penn State National Meet was for the University of Tennessee women's track & field team, Saturday was even better. Nicole Cook bagged an NCAA provisional en route to second place in the 800 meters, Dee Dee Trotter and Toyin Olupona were first and third in the 200m, and the 4x400m relay captured second to pace Head Coach J.J. Clark's squad at Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.
Cook, running her first half-mile race of the 2003 campaign after earning All-America honors indoors and out last season as a freshman,
rolled to an impressive 2:07.54 result to place herself easily below the provisional of 2:09.00 and within striking distance of the 2:06.20
automatic standard. That time was good enough to rank her first among collegians and second overall just behind the 2:07.31 readout of
unattached competitor Jill Snyder, who was a three-time All-American and four-time ACC champ in the 1500m at Wake Forest. Nikeya
Green, a 2002 800m All-American from Wake Forest, was third in 2:07.96.
The race couldn't have shaped up any better for Cook, who had the good fortune to have 2000 U.S. Olympic 800m standout Jearl Miles-Clark setting the pace through the first two and a half laps. After completing 500 meters as part of her training plan for the afternoon (she also won the 400m in 54.22), Miles-Clark dropped out and passed the leader's torch to Snyder, with Cook giving chase a few steps back.
Despite a strong kick on the final lap, and a hard close down the stretch that resembled her charge to victory at the SEC Outdoor Championships, Cook came up just short in her quest for number one. She did not, however, miss out on the opportunity to log a qualifying mark or finish ahead of her college peers.
Her debut performance topped her 2002 opener of 2:11.36 at the Kentucky Invitational on Jan. 12 and surpassed her first provisional as a rookie, a 2:08.27 reading on Feb. 9 at the Virginia Tech Challenge. Cook would go on to post an indoor season best of 2:06.92 to place third at the SEC Championships.
In the 200m, Trotter cranked out a season-best 24.19 and overcame a slow start to take the crown. The sophomore from Decatur, Ga., didn't get out of the blocks as she would have liked, but as is always the case, her chase speed was out of this world. With the hometown fans sensing victory for Penn State's Consuella Moore, Trotter never gave up, closing the Nittany Lion's sizeable advantage and nipping her at the line by 2/10ths of a second. OIupona, meanwhile, turned in a career-best time of 24.41 to take third and finish just behind Moore as she did in Friday night's 60m dash finals.
Trotter's contribution wasn't finished with the 200m, as she submitted a stellar anchor leg to join junior Christina Billings (Madison, Wis.), Cook and sophomore Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.) for a second-place jaunt of 3:44.09 in the 4x400m relay. That result, which also featured a superb second leg by Cook, was Tennessee's best of the year and just four seconds off the NCAA provisional.
In the 3000 meters, senior Sharon Dickie (Grand Blanc, Mich.) rebounded nicely from her provisional Friday night in the tiring 5000 meters to chart a 9:37.63 and take seventh place. That mark was just off the 9:35.00 NCAA safety and was right on Dickie's career-best reading of 9:36.65 that she posted way back in 1999 during her freshman season. Junior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) and sophomore Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.) were 26th and 39th in the 3K in personal bests of 10:01.54 and a 10:24.17, respectively.
Redshirt freshman Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.), who won the 3000m in her first individual race as a Lady Vol last weekend, made her collegiate debut in the mile run at Penn State. The Wisconsin record-holder in the 1600m survived being jostled, boxed in and getting spiked to kick her way to first in her heat and ninth overall in 5:00.10. Teamate Elizabeth McCalley, a sophomore from Knoxville, Tenn., was 35th in 5:24.54.
In the 400 meters, freshman Caitlin Ward (Gibsonia, Pa.) led a trio of Tennessee sprinters, notching a PR clocking of 58.17 to place 20th, while Billings was 26th in 58.46 and Gorham opened her second season in 49th at 60.01. In field event action, junior Kelly Flowers (Westerville, Ohio) was 23rd in the high jump at 5-0.25/1.53m, and junior Janine Tessarzik (Altamont, N.Y.) was unable to land a measurable mark in the shot put.
Upon Further Review...The results for the pole vault were re-posted on Saturday, and there was a shuffling in the order of finish. Tennessee's Christie Elwin, Lauren McNeil, Jessica Andrews, Kendra Rhyne and Jessica Reust are now 4th, 13th, 14th, 16th and 32nd. Previously, they were listed as second, 10th, eighth, 16th and 30th, respectively.

IMHO, if there is a factory lap joint, you should put back in a lap joint if at all possible. Otherwise, butt weld.
Like MAUSS said, cut out all the rusted metal. Beyond that, only cut till it makes sense. In other words, the weld needs to be in the spot you feel most comfortable making it. Then cut the patch panel to fit.
Don't use flux core. Like MAUSS said, you will need an argon/CO2 bottle to do this.
Some guys like to use 0.023. Others swear by 0.035. I have tried it both ways and can't really tell a difference. Maybe just my poor welding skills.
I feel that any hole with clean edges 1/8" dia. or smaller can be plug welded. I bought a length of 3/4" copper tubing at Lowes. Cut to a length of approx. 8 - 12 inches. Smash the last 2 - 4 inches flat with a hammer. Use that to back up holes when filling with weld.
Any larger hole and I use a metal filler piece. Hold in place with masking tape on the back side while you tack. Larger pieces can have a piece of weld rod attached to the center to hold it while you tack. Magnets can also locate a part, but watch out for arc scatter.
Tack every one to two inches. Then weld from you tacks. Only go a short distance and jump around in order to keep the heat down and spread the heat around.
Use double upped cutting wheels on a die grinder to knock down the weld proud. Then use a 36 Roloc on an angle die grinder to finish it off. If at all possible, you want to slightly "crush" the weld using hammer on dolly to remove the shrink. I try to do it between the cutting wheels and the Roloc.
Check my journal for the cutting, welding, grinding I have been doing on a 41 Chevy. Weather is almost good enough to get back out there. But we do have snow in the forecast for tomorrow!
You need to get down to solid metal or you're just wasting your time. At least there are replacement quarter panels and patch panels available for the J series Wagoneers, but for the wheel well area, you'll have to fab the pieces yourself. Don't skrimp on the patch... all of the rusted area has to be removed. Hopefully your HF welder has gas capability... otherwise, see if there's a kit to add it... you'll get better results than with flux core wire.
There's a full-size forum at Jeep Forum that might be useful to you too.
Quarter panel help
Hello, this is the start of some repair to a 86 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. If this vehicle isn't allowed in this forum i'll remove. I plan to cut the lower quarter portion out when the patch piece arrives. I've read in the search about welding primer and lap joints etc. What's the best way to make this repair. I have a large shop, good tools and a so-so HF wire welder. Haven't done any body work in a loooooong time. I started plug welding the roof rack by cutting discs from like guage metal. Should I cut out the wheel arch area also? Thank you, Shawn

Places to Eat in Haleiwa
Haleiwa Town, the gateway to the surfer's paradise of the North Shore, is the perfect place to fuel up for a day at the beach or to wind down after a day in the sun. You can eat like a local at a variety of restaurants featuring everything from burgers and pizza to Thai and Mexican favorites.
Dan Moore, North Shore resident and winner of the 2005 Billabong XXL award, shares his personal top places to eat in Haleiwa:
Cholo's Homestyle Mexican Grill
(808) 637- 3059
"Incredible Mexican Food"
Haleiwa Joe's
(808) 637- 8005
"Some of the best food in Haleiwa. Their service is terrific."
Kua Aina Burger (also in Ward Centers in Honolulu)
(808) 637- 6067
"They make the best hamburgers."
Café Haleiwa
(808) 637- 5516
"For your morning breakfast — and they serve lunch as well — Café Haleiwa is a great little local spot.
Haleiwa Eats
(808) 637- 4247
"Offers fantastic Thai Food."
Matsumoto's Shave Ice*
(808) 637- 4827
"Probably one of the most famous stores in Haleiwa. Visitors from around the world will stand in line for one little shave ice. It really is good stuff."
*Shave ice is a local treat like a snow cone, except the ice is much more finely shaved. Colorful syrups are poured on top while ice cream, mochi or azuki beans are placed on the bottom. Aoki's Shave Ice is another popular alternative in Haleiwa.

what ???
"Since you're keeping the dogs that won't be bred it seems like you're not 'washing out (what a term)'
I understand letting retired dogs to a really good home if and when the chance comes up but not specifically looking to get rid of them"
I don't look to get rid of anything .
I am not putting waste by the curb side .
If a capable home came up - good.
One such dog was a dog that I bought , with titles, mature and with a litter already to her credit , but she was just a mess -- totally unsocial to any dogs, handler sharp, constant nuisance motion ----
she was not bred by me, managed carefully , and had her last days here .
Her behaviourial problems precluded her from work.
what do you mean I am not washing out ---- sure am , all along the way. Not every dog will develop to have the full package for what was the promise -- so instead of forcing the dog to be something that is not 100% right for it , the dog is then placed in the next best category .
You have to see what the dog's aptitudes are best suited for and some things can only be tested sometime down the road. Once you know and have a better assessment then you place where the dog's abilities will be appreciated , and where the dog will be happy and fulfilled.
That may include some form of professional service or that may include the fireside of some loving family home.
Whatever is best for the dog.
Since you're keeping the dogs that won't be bred it seems like you're not 'washing out (what a term)'
I understand letting retired dogs to a really good home if and when the chance comes up but not specifically looking to get rid of them
I'm not judging breeders, by the way. I know there's only so much space and you need to make space for the dogs that can be used
I will answer the question .
Over the years I have placed some dogs , very special to me , loved for the connection we had over the years, and honored for what they produced .
These lines are long lived , 12 , 13, 14 years on average.
WHEN the right person , the right time came along I would consider placing them in a home where they would be the center of attention for their remaining years . One female I placed at 7 years of age , to a family that adored her . I saw her once a year , then as time went on less frequent visits . Every year a Christmas card with the dog right there in the middle of the family , very satisfied look on her face . Even after she passed away at 13 the family still sends me an annual Christmas card . The daughter of the family wrote me an email about 2 years ago to thank me for the joy that my female brought to her family and to let me know that this female inspired her to become a Vet .
That is giving the dog a gift .
I have dogs which I am really excited about and have deep established connections with -- and then they leave me because from the outset this was part of the plan -- they go into service . Then I get feedback as the handlers volunteer it - not intrusive .
Recently I placed Gus's mother into a home were she travels with the lady everywhere , is a treasure in her home, loved by the vet and all who meet her .
I'll see if Gus's owner can post a picture of her basking in the limelight.
These dogs get to have continuity of good things that they are used to.
On the other hand I do have some dogs which will never be bred , and may have some problem which makes re-homing not as easy. They stay with me till their last day .
No breeding . Care that they need and deserve , a full and interesting life.
They are respected , accepted with all their faults, for what they are by nature .
yep, dogs do accept us and I always wonder whether my dog would've chosen me if he was the one choosing. I hope he would
anyway, so then how do you feel about rehoming dogs that are retired from breeding or washouts
or you keep them all? I'm not picking on you. I know you breed and I have an idea how some breeders operate and that there is only so much space.
wondering how it goes with your philosophy about the dogs deserving love and being accepted with all their faults
here is another comment --- NOT specific to this thread but to the number of posts over the years , where someone goes out and gets a pup , is sceptical on the back story , or comes onto the forum for assurance that "this" is a purebred.
You wanted a canine friend .
Sad , if the owner feels the dog has more value if it is purebred . Sad , if the owner had some scheme which considers the dog as a commodity capable of generating income .
Every dog should expect to be cared for , health, creature comforts, and accepted for what and how it is . No fault or power to control its destiny.
The dog accepts you with all your faults .
No doubt.
Still not a GSD though. Head is not quite right, ears are not quite right. Three visible pink nails, and the white fur. GSD ears don't usually start their stand like that either. Those are terrier ears. Of some kind.
Something else is in there too.
|I don't think this poster is even still active since this is a 2 mo old thread and I don't blame them if they never come back after reading some of the comments made..... rather sad.....

Texas Supreme Court Approved Divorce Forms -- Uncontested, No Minor Children, No Real Property
Authored By: Texas Supreme Court
On November 13, 2012, the Texas Supreme Court approved a set of forms for use in uncontested divorces that do not involve children or real property (an example of real property is a house that you and your spouse own).
You do not have to use these forms, but if you choose to use them, the court cannot refuse to accept them just because they are fill-in-the-blank forms or because you do not have a lawyer. The judge could still refuse to accept these forms if they are not properly filled out.
This Divorce Set contains instructions and seven forms: an Affidavit of Indigency, an Original Petition for Divorce, a Waiver of Service, a Final Decree of Divorce, a Certificate of Last Known Address, a Notice of Change of Address, and an Affidavit of Military Status. The instructions describe each form and when to use a particular form.
It is always best to hire a lawyer. To get a referral to a lawyer call the State Bar of Texas Lawyer Referral Information Service at 1-800-252-9690. Click here for information on how to select a lawyer.
If you qualify, legal aid may also be able to help you, please click here, for more informaiton on legal aid, in your area.

Also did any figure skater use this song for ice show or gala program? I bet this song will be used at Worlds EX finale too.. lol Not sure about 4CC cuz it will take place in Japan and perhaps Japanese won't use Korean singer's song (and this song wasn't popular in Japan)

I recently called up my buddy who used to be vice president of marketing at SugarCRM. I asked him if he ever encountered companies that were building their own CRM solutions internally. "No, that's dumb," he said. "That's why they came to Sugar, so they could use ours. It's too much work to do it yourself."
Building your own Salesforce.com? Yup, sounds like a lot of work. Yet here at RightScale, I see many companies trying to build their own cloud management solutions. Perhaps it is the DevOps mindset that has made cloud computing so popular: "If I can't get approval, I'll just do it myself on the side." Or perhaps it is because we are still in the early stages of cloud, and people are experimenting and discovering what is possible internally versus what is available in the market.
I did an informal poll of our sales team, and here's what they said were the top reasons companies try to make their own solutions rather than use a cloud management product:
- They want control, or the ability to highly customize their environment.
- PaaS and IaaS, as concepts, seem simple, easy to jump on. A "cloud computing management platform" seems like a complex paradigm to adopt.
- Because they can, and they want the challenge of exploring a new frontier.
- The cost of a cloud management solution is too high.
OK, so these appear to be valid reasons at first glance. But these statements are typically founded in misconceptions about cloud management solutions in general or RightScale in particular, which I'll address here:
Control: RightScale is not a PaaS service. We let you get into everything - perhaps more so than we should. Change the images if you must, run custom scripts against our API, and export usage data to include in your own data warehouse. Fifty-two percent of the servers running on RightScale are controlled by completely custom ServerTemplates, not ones we provide. Our product philosophy is to let you "get under the hood" if you need to - so please do.
Complexity: Cloud management is complex, and I don't argue that. What RightScale aims to do is provide a layer of abstraction that makes the difficult and mundane tasks, like auto-scaling, much easier. It is unfortunate that the term seems complex, because if anything, a cloud management solution can make managing your entire cloud infrastructure and applications so much easier.
Conquering the new frontier: You're being told by your boss to "Learn cloud now - just figure it out." You want to truly understand what's possible, how to build it, and deliver on expectations. As you start down this path, you cobble together some tools to accomplish your first foray into the cloud. Unfortunately, technologists have a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" as they continue along their path to the cloud. We're many steps ahead, and we're happy to share what we've already learned.
Cost: Netflix is a poster-child for DIY cloud, and has been forthcoming about its experience, which has helped grow this new paradigm. Netflix "designed its cloud architecture so that it has the option to move to an Amazon Web Services competitor" if needed, according to this NetworkWorld article. At a recent conference, Adrian Cockcroft, Cloud Architect for Netflix, mentioned that Netflix has 50+ engineers working on this cloud-independent solution. Doing some quick math, that's about $8.3 MM per year Netflix spends building and maintaining this platform. That could buy a lot of RightScale Enterprise Editions!
At the end of the day, we see many customers who come to us after they outgrow their own internal solutions. They eventually discover that there are just too many things to stitch together: configuration management, systems automation, monitoring, application automation, provisioning, user permissions, reporting...it goes on.
We have hundreds of employees and have spent many millions creating the most comprehensive cloud management platform in the world. And we designed our product to drive the same way no matter which cloud you choose. So while cloud management may seem like a fun weekend project to tackle, it's not - please don't try it at home.
Yes, Amazon is still the dominant cloud, but a tornado of new clouds is swirling. The next thing your boss will likely ask is, "So what if we wanted to use this other cloud instead?"
Update Feb 3, 2012: Since I published this post, I've received a lot of feedback regarding DIY in the cloud computing space.
A few of our customer developers pointed out that they actually appreciated learning the cloud through RightScale - it gave them both an understanding of the underlying IaaS cloud as well insight into ideal cloud management frameworks. Forbes ran articles on how this extensive cloud computing knowledge is in high demand in IT and is a ticket to the corner office, and we're starting to see RightScale listed as a required skill on some of these cloud job postings.
Next, I've heard from a few more larger companies who have built their own internal cloud management solution. They also cited approximately 50 engineers in their cloud computing groups, so it seems this is the sweet spot for development and maintenance of a robust internal solution. Let's not forget about the PaaS-like solutions we offer with our ServerTemplates in this regard - it is not just automated provisioning that these larger companies ultimately need to build.
I'm not saying you can't "do it yourself" in cloud computing (or in anything for that matter), I just want to encourage developers to avoid the trappings of #3 above - namely ignoring off-the-shelf solutions in the interest of personal discovery. It may work in the short term... until you hit one of the many walls that we've already had to plow through. At that point, you'll either have to scale the solution and team, or re-architect for a product that offers the necessary solutions already.
Update March 15, 2012: This post stirred a lot of pots, so I expanded it into an article on SYS-CON called "Do-It-Yourself Cloud Computing Management – Is It Worth It?" However you come down on DIY cloud management, I think you'll find more material worth mulling over.

VIDEO: GateKeeper spins first passengers
(Sandusky) - Cedar Point has turned some members of the media upside down!
The park debuted GateKeeper Thursday, the new winged roller coaster that takes guests on a ride unlike anything else at the park. Opening this weekend, the mammoth ride is the longest winged roller coaster in the world and boasts the longest drop of any winged coaster on the planet!
GateKeeper dramatically flies above the main entrance to the park, passing over arriving guests with rolling flyover maneuvers. Riders will twice narrowly slot through new front gate portals and slide by buildings for near miss excitement.
GateKeeper features Sunset Gold trains with coaches that extend out sideways from the track, exposing riders to nothing above or below them, simulating the feeling of flight.
"GateKeeper's world-record-breaking statistics, incredible flying maneuvers and special elements make it a unique coaster experience," stated Cedar Point General Manager John Hildebrandt. "GateKeeper is a roller coaster only Cedar Point can build and we are proud to add it to our incredible lineup of world-class attractions."
Designed by world-renowned coaster manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard, Monthey, Switzerland, a ride along the 4,164 feet of dark and light blue steel tubular track on GateKeeper will take about 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

Over the summer, Arsenal in the Community has been working on an exciting pilot programme in conjunction with the Homeless FA, the national partner for the annual Homeless World Cup.
Together with fellow community departments from Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and Everton, Arsenal in the Community delivered a five-day programme of specially-planned sessions for homeless men and women from London and the South East.
The participants were fighting it out for the honour of representing England at this year's Homeless World Cup tournament in Mexico City, taking place between 4-15 October 2012.
The players came from many projects in the Homeless FA's community, including Arsenal's 2010/11 Charity of the Season, Centrepoint. In addition to football coaching, the groups took part in courses to aid their personal development, such as employability skills, first aid and time management.
Those individuals that had progressed well, based on commitment and attitude, were invited to a special 'Team England' day at Carrington and Old Trafford with Manchester United on September 5. From that the World Cup squads for both the men's and women's sides were selected.
After a rigorous selection process, no fewer than six individuals that had taken part in the Arsenal scheme were picked for England duty. Aaron Ranieri, Marco Ramos and Billy Wise were all called up to the eight-man squad, while Mauva Hunte-Bowlby, Jodie Osborne and Rosie Martin were chosen for the women's team. It is the first time that England will have entered a women's team in the tournament.
Arsenal in the Community will continue to link in with all programme participants over the coming weeks and months with a view to helping them gain employment with the Club's stadium catering providers, Delaware North Companies. The Club will also offer them the chance to take part in other training, education and volunteering opportunities.
Arsenal Football Club thanks all participants for their involvement and wishes those selected the best of luck at next month's tournament.

There is not always that much bearing exposed but Deaton's did that for me to make it easier the next time. Good job!
I replaced the cutlass bearing on our PSC 31 yesterday, and am surprised how fast the job went. There is about an inch of bearing protruding from the shaft log. I first sprayed penetrant into the setscrew holes and let it sit a while, then I used a pair of vice grips on the bearing and started rotating it. More penetrant and more rotating for about 1/2 hour, until it moved smoothly. Then I cut a notch big enough to receive a large screwdriver into the bearing. After a little prying against a metal shim to protect the skeg, it started coming out. More shims, and a couple more notches later, it was out.
The whole process, including removing prop, cutter, zincs and bearing and reassembly only took about 2 hours and 3 beers.
The shaft aligned perfectly, which was an added bonus (reason for beer #4).
Having said that, it will propably take me about 2 days next time.
I replaced the cutless bearing on our Dana a couple of years ago by using standard schedule 40 black pipe from Ace hardware. The ID is just a few thousands over 1" and the OD is 1.315" which is just under the the shaft liner tube. With all the foreign material now days I would varify the deminsions before using the pipe.
I removed the coupling from the shaft that attaches to the transmission, removed the stuffing box and hose from the stuffing box to the stern tube and slid a 4" long piece of pipe over the shaft maybe two at this point and then slid an 1-1/8" box wrench (fits a 3/4 bolt head) over the shaft and started hitting it with a hammer to drive out the bearing. I also put a board between the prop shaft and the rudder so as to not possibly damage the rudder in any way.
Once you move the shaft a little you can grab it with channel locks or a pipe wrench and twist it on out.
When I installed the new cutless bearing I left about a 1/4" stick out so I could twist it out the next time and not remove the coupling.

Hi T37,
Good recommendation about the extra insurance with an extra collar on the shaft. A doughnut zinc placed behind the rotor should do the trick.
What engine go you have? I had a westerbeke in my previous boat and at certain RPM's anything loose down below would rattle. The yanmar in my PSC is much smoother, I would not have thought that the engine was out of alignment,
only when my conventional stuffing box would not stay cool did I investigate.
Did you pull your shaft and have it checked for straightness? Also have the shop face your coupling to the shaft. This too is good insurance that alignment will be correct.
|I'm going through a similar experience, and the alignment was likely the culprit. I am replacing the engine mounts and glad I am, after removing two of them you can easily tell how worn out they were. You may consider adding a shaft clamp/collar after the PSS for some "insurance".
As promised I am reporting back with my cutlass situation. The reason the cutlass wore out so quickly is that the shaft alignment in the cutlass was off.
I did the following,
realigned engine so the shaft was centered in the shaft log
dropped the rudder
pulled the shaft and sent it out to the machine shop
had prop checked at same time
cut one side of the cutlass and removed it
installed new cutlass
used set screws to hold cutlass, did not drill and tap as factory install
while installing shaft I slid on new PSS shaft seal
aligned the coupling and the transmission flange to .005 tolerance
painted prop with Petit zinc shield, it was removed to check shaft
applied bottom paint to surfaces to be hidden by rudder
installed rudder
The centering of the shaft in the shaft log along with aligning the coupling flange with the transmission flange within .005 was the toughest part of the job. I will realign the flange and coupling after I launch and rig the boat for the season.
The shaft moves smoothly and easily with no binding at any point while turning it by hand at the prop. When the coupling alignment is out more that .005 you can actually feel the shaft bind as you rotate the prop through 360 degrees.
All is now good
Hi Steve,
I did buy some new silicon bronze hardware from the bolt depot, they are local for me. Thanks for the suggestion of Mc Master Carr, they do carry monel set screws that should work fine. There have the concave end that should dig nicely into the cutlass and keep her from spinning.
Monel has a value of .30v on the anodic index, bronze has a value of .45v, the differencce of .15v should be acceptable.
Does anyone else have any comments about the compatability?
You have gone further than I ever have but in the interest of educating me and the rest of the PSc collective I'll ask if strength of SS 316 v. silicon bronze is a factor.
As for a source I've found Bolt Depot - Nuts and Bolts, Screws and Fasteners online has a good selection. There's also McMaster-Carr - both I've used with high satisfaction although I didn't check if they had you specific request.
I replaced my cutlass bearing and was very surprised that the retaining bolts were not only stainless steel but were also drilled through and tapped into the bronze body of the cutlass. Seems like an invitation to electrolysis. I am ready to replace them with silicon bronze and would like to just run them in hard ( but not enough to deform) against the cutlass with no drilling. There are allen head set screws made for this kind of job. They have a concave end to bite into metal when tightened but they are stainless steel. Does anyone know of a source for this type of set screw made of silicon bronze, thread size 10/24.
Any ideas about my concerns are welcome.

This prairie rattlesnake is poised to strike. Adult rattlesnakes, unlike juveniles, are able to regulate the amount of venom in their bites.

Small mammals, birds, and other reptiles are the preferred food of western diamondback rattlesnakes. In leaner times, the snake is able to go without eating for long periods (up to two years), reducing its activity and making it rely on fat reserves for energy.

Western diamondbacks are among the most aggressive species of rattlesnakes and have a striking distance up to 66 percent of their body length. They do not shy away from confrontation, and their bites have been the cause of several recorded deaths.

The western Massasauga rattlesnake is one of the smaller rattlers. Compared to other larger rattlesnakes, its venom is more toxic, but it delivers less venom per bite.

Billy Cullens Memorial Nature Trail and Observation Towers
Butler Island
Darien, GA 31305
The Billy Cullens Memorial Nature Trail and Observation Towers give birdwatchers and other outdoor enthusiasts an opportunity to observe wetland-dependent wildlife in the managed impoudments of the Butler Island Refuge unit of the Altamaha Waterfowl Management Area.
The nature trail consits of two parts: a north loop and a south loop. The trails follow the dikes separating the managed wetlands on the refuge.
The two obersvation towers provide excellent views of the wetlands. The northern tower is easily accessed via a short walk from the parking area on the east side of Highway 17. The newer, southern tower is accessible only by walking the south loop of the nature trail.
Signs along the trail provide information on waterfowl, shorebirds, wading birds, wetlands, songbirds and salt marshes. The kiosks at the north tower provide information on the management of the area and conservation efforts along the Altamaha River.
The trail and towers were named in honor of the late Billy Cullens, an avid sportsman and conservationist who took a keen interest in the waterfowl management activities that occurred on the Altamaha WMA.

Category: Anne Bronte
We've talked a lot about Shakespearean literary names and characters in Dickens and Jane Austen, but we've overlooked three of the best namers in literary history—the sisters Brontë. We love their own names—Charlotte, Emily and Anne, and we love their initial-appropriate male pen names—Currer, Ellis and Acton. We even love their surname, which a number of parents have chosen for their daughters.
But it is the particularly rich cast of character names in their novels that we love the most. One of them, in fact, had a considerable effect on baby naming of its era. Though it's long been said that it was Shirley Temple who promoted her given name in the 1930s, she wasn't the first. In Charlotte Brontë' second novel, following Jane Eyre, the protagonist of Shirley was given that name because her father had anticipated a boy, and Shirley was a distinctively male name at the time. The novel's Father Keeldar made a gender switch that has proven to be permanent.
Here is a selection of Brontë bests; the list isn't meant to be complete—some of the more common names have not been included. (The initials AB, CB and EB represent Anne, Charlotte and Emily.)
Alice, AB– The Tenant of Wildfell Hall; CB- Jane Eyre
Annabella, AB– The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Re: X-FrontEnd crashes upon certain keystrokes
Ian Collier at wri suggested that X Front Ends built in Dec. 1994
should be used to correct crashes in the front end upon certain
key strokes. We recently upgraded all of our versions of Mathematica
when our site license came up for renewal. The front end that came
with the upgrade apparently has a bug which causes it to abort in
certain cases when a carrage return is inserted in existing cells.
This occurs on both Sparcs and SGIs.
It doesn't seem to matter what the kernal is doing because once the
frontend crashes, the abort can be reproduced by merely reopening the
notebook and inserting the carrage return in the appropriate cell.
The kernal is never started.
Has anyone else had trouble with the frontend distributed with the
Sparc or SGI version 2.2.3 of mathematica?

|Years ago it was thought that my male Irish Wolfhound had weak kidneys. His vet recommended eggs as an excellent 'kidney friendly' source of high quality protein. I don't really see a problem with 1-2 eggs daily, howver, checking with your vet is always a good idea.
|my boy diesel
i agree
try 2 cups in the morning and at night
dont feed 3 raw eggs a day
1-2 a week is okay
pro plan is a low quality food in the scheme of things, sorry
3 cups of Proplan is probably not enough. With good quality kibble you can feed less as there aren't as many fillers but you most likely will have to up by at least 1 cup. Delgado was eating 3 cups a day of Fromm LBP at that age and was up to 4.5 cups by 6 months, that's almost 2,000 calories a day at his peak and he was always lean. Go by the dog, not the bag or calorie count. If you can feel but not see the ribs, and there's a nice tuck to the stomach then keep feeding that amount. I would add or subtract 1/2 a cup based on what we had done that day and his current body condition.
Raw meat and kibble shouldn't be given at the same meal but split separately, so you could feed kibble one meal and raw the next but not mixed. They metabolize at different rates (kibble slow and raw fast) so you can end up with issues and it's not worth the risk.
Raw egg is fine anytime, but 3 eggs a day is a lot. You should always feed eggs whole and right away, that way they get the most nutrients and benefit.
Puppy food with egg added? Slow growth question
Our 15 week girl is just over 29 lbs and isn't a real monster as far as growth. The breeder stressed the importance of not feeding a rich food and growing slowly for health reasons. She was started on Pro Plan for Large dogs as a pup. We're feeding 1.5 cups of food twice a day. I'd like to move to one cup of food three times a day, and mix with a raw egg at each feeding. I will eventually work into a partially raw diet but for now I would like to boost her intake with the egg. Would this be too much fat/calories? I think she's at the point where she needs a little more because she seems hungry all the time. Opinions?
I am leaning towards staying on the Pro Plan and working raw meats/eggs in vs. switching to a more expensive food. The goal is to eventually be on a mostly raw diet, maybe in the next three months.

Reid Between the Lines: Harry Now in 'No Rush' to Save the Sick and Dying?
posted at 8:55 am on January 27, 2010 by dougpowers
Harry Reid, Senate floor, Dec. 21, 2009:
"All over America, people are dying too soon. More and more, Americans who come down with the flu, or develop diabetes, or suffer a stroke are dying far earlier than modern science says they should die. More and more, Americans who contract skin cancer or have a heart condition are dying rather than being cured.
"Pull out the medical records of these patients, and the official forms will tell you they've died from complications of a disease or a surgery. But what is really killing more and more Americans every day are complications of our health care system."
Harry Reid, January 26, 2010:
The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, deflected questions about health care. "We're not on health care now," Mr. Reid said. "We've talked a lot about it in the past."
He added, "There is no rush."
Will some enterprising reporter please ask Reid if he was wildly exaggerating the problem in the first place, or just doesn't care that people are dying due to problems in our health care system because ramming through the wildly unpopular Obamacare bill could cost him re-election? It's one or the other. Frankly, either option makes him look like a jerk, but Reid is used to that.

Hey Guys,
So I hunt deer a lot on this one property in southern MD, and for the past few years there have always been woodies there this time of the year. I saw them this past week, but scared them (the flew off) last Friday. What are the chances they'll stick around in the same area if they get scared off? (ignoring all other factors like weather and stuff).

There are unconfirmed reports the Iranian government has offered consultancy positions to former Vice President Cheney,former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and members of the Bush administration who served in the Justice Department and developed a legal rationale for torture. It is apparent that many Iranian reformers who have been arrested are being subject to torture in order to elicit "confessions" which would be aired on TV in order to prove that demonstrations were organized by British and American agents. We assume George Bush would defend the use of torture by a government in the name of "national security." Of course, in this case, "national security" is being used by thugs and murderers to justify their authoritarian regime.
Several people who were in prison report they heard screams coming from rooms where men like Motafa Tajzadeh and others were being "interrogated." Perhaps, if the Iranians persuaded American specialists in torture they could get "confessions."
We wonder if President Obama still believes it is important in the name of "national security" to protect those who torture and not reveal pictures or documents. It is quite evident Rush Limbaugh and Bill Bennett and Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reilly are on TV decrying the use of torture by the Iranian government.

Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
On my I37ms I have an Fortress FX32, 60' of 3/8 chain and 400' of 3/4" three strand as a stowed storm anchor. A #44 Bruce for rocks and mud, and a #35 delta for sand and shifting wind areas with 320' of 5/16 chain on the bow, and a small danforth as a stern anchor.
I also have a 35lb CQR in the garden
If I could start from scratch, I would do what chucklesR said.
|Mike Banks
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
As a note, you will find many CQRs for sale (or in the dumpster), avoid at all cost. They are the (by far) worst (yet popular) anchor ever produced
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
On my 35 foot 13000# boat, I have a 48# CQR, a 48# Bruce, a 25# CQR, and a smaller Danforth for a "lunch"anchor. My rode is 3/4" 3-strand nylon (have many hundreds of feet aboard) and a 60' 3/8" chain leader. I think the 3/8" chain is a must as are the over-sized anchors. There is no guesswork. They set, they hold. Screwing around with minimal sized ground gear is asking for trouble sooner or later. Next season I plan on buying a 45# Mantus and increasing to 200' of chain as well. Being able to sleep at night is important when you're cruising.
As far as a "storm" anchor, I always have my eye out for a Luke or equivalent "Fisherman's" type anchor for a good price. For odd grassy or rocky bottoms they work well. I used to have one on a previous boat. It saved my butt a couple of times. Wish I still had one. Probably a 75# would do on your boat.
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
1st of all good advice & insight ref. I37 rudder.
I'm too far down the road in regard to motoring home or trucking it. I had the dropped mast down and the cashier's check is sent out. The boat needs TLC and I don't know the boat either.. it was a easy choice to ship it home. I see hours & hours of work to be done over a 5 month period. The boat will be parked next to my shop, 150 yards from my house.
Regarding the rudder, I will continue to gain information. Hopefully, I can connect with another I37 owner and get the measurements I need. Also, contact the larger salvage yards and see what comes up. From what I read.. the I37 Islanders are not that common.
Thanks a lot,
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
Oh, one of those guys who complains every time a pilot brings back an airplane in "used" condition. (VBG) No, seriously...you sound very much aware of the issues. The keel and rudder are just two airfoils (the hull actually is a third) on a boat and even now that there are computers, the art of tuning all three to make a boat sweet instead of a mule is partly black art.
I don't know about the I37, do know some Beneteaus are notorious for having a rudder that is deeper than the keel and as such, a real danger for grounding damage. I wouldn't want a rudder deeper than the keel, but I'd be loathe to chop one down. If I was going to tackle that kind of problem, I think I'd make the keel deeper rather than chop the rudder.
Consider, as you heel the boat the rudder effectively becomes shorter, it doesn't extend down into clear undisturbed water, and with some boats that means you lose steerage one you heel over too far. Steering balance, sail balance, these are all three dimensional multi-variable euqations on a boat, or four-dimensional as they also change with speed.
Some rudders certainly CAN be improved. With potential rudder post damage and fully two feet busted off, and no way to know if the internal armature was still firmly attached versus beginning to come off the post...Trucking would definitely be the more conservative way to go.
It is also possible that you might find a used rudder from a consigment shop or breaker's yard. I don't know any good lists but you might try Sailorman in Fort Lauderdale, there's another one in Tampa/St.P. I can't remember the name of, sometimes you get lucky and someone can drum up the part.
Or I suppose you could drop the rudder, ship it home by motor freight, rebuild it and then ship it back before sailing the boat home. Between shipping costs and time...trucking the boat home might be the way to go, so the rest can be done without any rushes or risks.
Having been up close and personal with the "professional" replacement of a rudder by a certain leading name company in that business, I can only say be careful. The difference between a certified aviation mechanic and a shadetree greasemonkey comes to mind. (G)
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
I'm a aviation mechanic and built my own plane from plans in 1991. I did not realize that the Rudder was on boats were / or can be a Tuned Item. I'm going to try to find another I37MS owner and get rudder measurements. I did not pay attention to my rudder, to check if it had taper or is a straight run rudder from top to bottom.
So, I'm looking for another I-37 MS owner to let me know what the I37 rudder measurments are ____________ ? The boat needs to be out of water or measurement had been recorded before (when boat was in dry dock) otherwise it will be a little bit wet to get them (little joke).
I talked to the previous owner about the Rudder. He said, it's an effective Rudder, he had No complaint, including reverse. He said, he'd cut about 8 to 9 inches off the bottom. not return it to it's 100% size. I asked why, he said that the Rudder was always at risk with it's (nearly) 6 ft. draft. He was always at risk to hitting the bottom of the Rudder. The rudder was very effective and he had verified this (again) when he bought the boat in FL. He was caught in a storm back to Gulf Port, MS with a 50 knot winds and heavy sea conditions. I did not say anything but did get his point about the rudder at risk (6 ft.) and subject to getting hit all the time. I don't know if taking 8 or 9 inches off... was a good idea or Not ?!? I know in the aircraft repair world, I'd never be authorized to change one thing about the rudder (never) or anything else on a aircraft. However, aircraft have a fine line of balance (center of gravity & control response) and subject to crashing if you screw it up.
Information from yard master, he motored the boat home from Gulf Port to his yard in Biloxi with 2 feet busted off. He said, it worked OK, but he would not take it out in weather conditions. He thought that the boat would sail (motor) just fine to Panama City, FL. He said, I would save $$$ on the trucking expense and the cost of demasting the boat. I said, I would not chance it and wanted the boat 100% before it went anywhere.
So, I get your point and will make sure that the new rudder or repaired rudder is very close to the old rudders exact size & airfoil shape. I was sent a great article & picture of his new ( not for I37)rudder from two of the members, see my other post on needing a rudder repaired on Islander 37.
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
A fully tooled shop, that's cheating. (G)
Forigve me is this is old news but assuming the piece that broke off is gone, you may also want to track down abother I37 in order to carefully match rudder shape. If the shape is not 100% the balance will change and some of the Islanders had exceptionally fine balance, worth trying to keep.
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
I should have specified -- the rudder was damaged in the storm. What happened, the boat broke free from it's morring. 2nd part of story, the boat keeled over (somewhat) when the tide went out. When the salvage crew righted the boat with air bags, the rudder was at a angle. The rudder was damaged, about 2 foot was busted off the bottom. I looked at the rudder on Monday. I had the yard master verify rudder travel as I ran the wheel through full travel (left/right). He did not see any sign of canting or anything wrong from a visual standpoint. I'm Not sure yet, the shaft may be bent. I will know this when I have time to check the rudder out (100%) at home. When I check it again, I'll straight edge & measure it as needed to verify condition. After removal, I'll determine if it's repairable or not. I have found -- 1 or 2 places that are highly recommended; will repair or replace the rudder for (est.) $ 1,000.00. I may do the job myself, capable of making/ repairing this rudder &, have a fully tooled shop.
Thanks for the Heads Up,
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
highfly, be very careful with the rudder. Once a rudder starts to fail, it fails in very clever ways, sometimes years down the line. If there is any penetration of the skin, any slight hairline crack, any failure of the seal where the rudderpost enters the skin, then water gets it, worked by the pressure from thermal cycling. Once the core gets wet it can take an incredible long time, months in hot dry air, and still not dry out. Then the problem is that the stainless rudder post, usually welded to a flat iron armature in the rudder, starts to corrode. Not simple rust, but the anoxic crevice corrossion that damp stainless suffers from, which is pretty much invisible until the day it suddenly fails.
You want to make Real Damn Sure that rudder is dry, and if necessary, rebuilt. Rebuilding them is not cheap, and there aren't many places who'll even touch the job. OTOH if you'll always be someplace where the loss of a rudder and a tow isn't a problem...there's less to worry about. You'll find other threads about rudders, failure, damage, if you want to pursue that someplace, rather than go OT here.
Re: Advise on Weight & Type of Anchor for Islander 37
Note: I have Not bought my anchors yet. I was talking about the Danforth because it's the 1st anchor that I read about, have not bought anything. My Islander 37 is being delivered on the 31st. The I-37 will not be in the water until April 2013. I will focus on all the (1st) important items -- needs Rudder repaired, needs 4 in. x 4 in. hole repaired that was cause by a accident (Hurricane). Next, go over the boat... top to bottom and make a do list. I talked to the owner a couple days ago. Now, I d know the boat faily well (thru him). He thinks it's ready to go after the rudder and the small hole is patched, he spent $ 20K on the boat (engine, drive, etc.).
Please bear with me, new guys to sailing .. ain't too brilliant. I have a note book 3/8 inch thick, started the 20th of Oct., the day I bought the I37.
So, I'm zeroing in one, two or three anchors I need for my boat. The Islander was sold without it's anchors. The Modern Designs are the answer, according to everyones vote's (above) with Mantus, Rocna and Manson Supreme as best choice. I'm really green and smiling.. when I read about the -- lunch, evening, storm anchoring (smiling, like a dummy) but I get the concept.

Sorry, but I've been on assignment finding out what our favorite GC characters are doing when they are not "doing" each other. Check it out:
Traci Abbott is writing a script for a movie called "Funeral Crashers."
Veetor Newman is putting the finishing touches on his latest tome titled "Buy 'em, Break 'em and Brand 'em - How to make and mark a woman as yours."
Sofia is starting a nationwide chain of florists called "STD Florists." Her corporate motto - "For when 'the gift that keeps on giving' just isn't enuff."
Chance is shooting a documentary called "On the Down Low" - my life in the witness protection program. (Unfortunately he released it before he got out.)
Meggie is writing a fashion column for the GC jail newspaper. Two of her columns: "Tanktops for while you're in the tank" and "Wife beaters for spousal abusers."
Lastly, Malcom is shooting a series of public service "rap" announcements called "Knockers - the proper way to pound on a door."
Unfortunately for youse...
You're never far from my mind,
