NAEDA has submitted comments to EPA concerning their proposal to reduce the 2014 biofuel blending requirement under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). In the comments, it was noted that reducing the required levels of biofuels will have an impact on farmers, their income and equipment dealers and their employees.
The comments noted that "Reducing the required levels of biofuels will also have an effect on job creation, reduce our nation's energy security and cut future investments in the development of next generation biofuels. The current standards, which the industry has met and planned for, have helped reduce dependence on foreign sources of oil and provided needed reductions in greenhouse gases by millions of metric tons."
To read a copy of NAEDA's submitted comments click here.
The 25x'25 Alliance also submitted comments to EPA calling on the agency to reject its proposal to reduce 2014 biofuel blending requirements under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).

text: First of all, who lost this game, our bench, or our starters? Hmm, the starters were minus 20 by mid-3rd quarter. Our bench stayed even until the 7 minute mark of the 4th quarter. You do the math. And oh, Stuckey was out there from that point, and we did not score from the 7 minute mark thru to the 2 minute mark about. About 5 minutes without a basket, not even a free throw made. As many have noted, our starting unit makes no sense. Kuester can't see it, and should be fired for being blind to what is going on in front of him. Trevor Ariza meant Tay could not do any scoring. With little post presence, Stuckey had no options at all. None. 20 points down mid 3rd quarter. Timeout. And anyone who bet on Kuester marching the same 5 guys out there after the timeout won. Now, these days, look, if Kuester did make a change - we would hate it. Because he would choose to go small. Which is even more non-sensical than what he is using now. Gordon had a good shooting game. CV hit no shots. Tay was stifled. Rip did not have his outside shot going, and can't drive against good D. JMAX is making some short outside shots, but hey, someone else is suppose to be taking those shots while JMAX stays around the basket for offensive rebounding. One of the best plays, Stuckey busting inside, and missing a layup. And Monroe cleaning up the miss. Stuckey has no sense of timing on his shots. Even with two offensive rebounders in with him, he can't communicate / coordinate with either one as to when he is going to hoist a shot. Hey Stuckey, if there are no offensive rebounders near the basket - do not shoot the ball. Obviouisly, having Monroe in with him at all times would increase the probability of having someone get the missed shot, but a lot of it is Stuckey. Regardless of what else TMAC does during a game, he is very valuable as the backup point. In these two losses just now, we played fine whenever Stuckey was resting. But don't get ahead of yourself and think it would help to have TMAC start instead of Stuckey. Nothing can help our starting unit as comprised. Conversely, while TMAC is invaluable as a backup point, otherwise he is pretty much useless with Stuckey along side with him. But Kuester seems to love that combo anyway, bless his little heart. Recommendation: Never start Ben Wallace ever again. He was not brought here to start. He was brought here to shore up the defense off the bench. And if we used him for that, Ben Wallace would be a valuable player for us. Quit playing CV. Our subs can play even, but never actually gain points, as long as CV is part of the equation since we give up points way too easily with him in there. Start Ben Gordon. Start Monroe. Keep starting JMAX. Keep starting Stuckey. And start Daye, not Tay, at small forward. Thats: Stuckey, Gordon, Daye, Monroe, JMAX 2nd unit: TMAC and Rip in the backcourt. Tay at small forward. Summers at power forward. Ben Wallace at center. Rip guards the point guard for the 2nd unit, while TMAC plays the point on offense, with Prince helping to bring the ball up the floor. In this unit, Rip basically becomes a spot up 3 point shooter, something he is actually decent at. Summers was our second best 3 point shooter last year, so he too can help spread the floor while Tay and TMAC use their height advantage to try to go in and score at the basket. (Yeah, and we can post up Rip if they don't have tall enough guards.)

The apartment is located in the so-called Eastern area of Lisbon and is just next to the very emblematic and well-known neighborhood of Alfama. The drying clothes hanging from the windows, the narrow and steep streets, the window flowerpots, the fado houses, are all trademarks of the most photographed area of Lisbon.
The fado, which is an old typical Portuguese genre of music, is unbeatable in this part of town. Take advantage of the proximity and go see the Fado Museum and loose yourself in the many small rustic bars (tabernas) where you can enjoy drinks and traditional foods.
With the Tejo river as a background, this area is ideal for long walks and healthy live.
At the end of the train line that goes along the river, you will find the Club Ferroviario, which is one of the most innovative spaces in Lisbon. An open esplanade is the place where Lisbon locals and visitors go to get away from the busy crowded night live of the rest of the city. You will be able to take tango classes or watch live music while you drink cocktails comfortably sitting in a train sit. From the rooftop, you will be able to see the Lux club (one of the most well-known clubs of the city).
A 5-minute walk from the apartment will take you to the Panteão Nacional that dates from the XVI century and has a large cupola that can be seen from many places in Lisbon. Inside you will find the mausoleum of some the most important and historical Portuguese people. From there, only a few more steps will take to the Lisbon gates called Terreiro do Paço. Here, let yourself be amazed by the splendor of the most visited plaza in Lisbon. Continue up north, and explore the commercial area of Baixa where you will find anything you want. Finally, eat along the river in one of the many restaurants.
At the cultural space – Fábrica Braço de Prata, you will find exhibitions, concerts and movies. A restaurant, a bar and a bookstore complete this location.
As the name comes from, go visit the flea market Feira da Ladra every Tuesday and Saturday of the week. There, you will find inexpensive bargains, vintage articles, antiques, old books and music disks, electronic equipment, and anything else you could imagine.
The Santa Apolonia subway station is just 3 minutes away, which will allow you to get to any other part of the city. You can also easily find taxis in front of the station.

Reviews of this property
Our stay in Lisbon was great. Flat is in the most beautiful area in city - Alfama. It was really cozy, comapct and furnished in a modern way. It is place perfect for couple. I can totally recommend it! :)
Studio propre, bien équipé et très bien situé au coeur de l'Alfama.
Le seul problème est le manque de rideaux (lampadaire dans la rue en face de la fenêtre allumé toute la nuit)
Très bon appartement fonctionnel équipement complet et très propre
Accueil agréable à l'arrivée
Proche des métro tram et gare
Très bien
Das Apartment liegt zentral in der Alfama, die bezaubernde Alststadt von Lissabon. Es ist klein, aber fein, neu renoviert und gut ausgestattet. Man kann von hier aus alles gut zu Fuß oder mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreichen.
Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett und sehr gastfreundlich, die Abwicklung ist unkompliziert.
Wir raten zu dem angebotenen Shuttle-Service vom Flughafen, es ist nicht nur praktisch, die Gasse ist auch auf manchen Karten nicht zu finden und man kann sich schnell im Gewirr der Gässchen und Treppen verlaufen.
In direkter Nachbarschaft ist ein kleines Café, in dem man gut und günstig frühstücken kann. In der Bar gegenüber haben wir die Abende in freundlicher Gesellschaft mit Rotwein und Livemusik ausklingen lassen. Ein rundum gelungener Urlaub :-)
Wir können dieses Apartment auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

Excellent accueil des employés de Feelslikehome, souriants, pleins de bons conseils. L'appartement fidéle à la description
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour.
Excelente ubicación. Espacioso y bien equipado. Magnífico trato de Ricardo de Feel like home.
Zeer mooi appartement, redelijk dicht richting het centrum van Lissabon.
uitzicht vanaf de 8ste verdieping is mooi.
We hebben de transferservice vanaf vliegveld erbij genomen, en dat is een perfecte oplossing omdat je zo met je koffers voor je appartement wordt afgezet.
Boa localização do apartamento, a pessoa de contacto da parte do anfitrião é muito simpática, de certeza recomendo!
Feels Like Home was exactly has it saids... the best place to "feel like home", all furnished, very convenient, and very clean!
The experience there was great, i totally recommand this flat, for a small familly, a couple of friends.. this is the best place to stay!
It's close to the transportation, and in a great area. If you want to go out, to have a dinner in a nice restaurants, there are many very nice places around. And this place is also perfect to do tourism since it's easy access to the main attractions.
My friends and I had a very god stay in this flat, and for sure i will book again there if i will have a chance to come back to Lisboa again :)
The only point is to be carefull and to arrive at the place for the check in before 11PM, if not they will charge you 30€ more for late check in.
Estupendo apartamento!

OWNER: Las Vegas Department of Operations and Maintenance
PROJECT: Enable field crews to immediately see if data's already been collected
NUMBER OF ASSETS: 76 parks; 14,553 trees; 4,002 asset points
MADE POSSIBLE BY: 2009 Esri/Trimble Navigation Ltd. Mobile Government Demonstration Grant Program
Like all government employees, Las Vegas GIS Analyst Joel Hillhouse wants to make the most of shrinking city coffers by eliminating redundancies whenever and wherever possible. While the Department of Operations and Maintenance has used Esri's ArcGIS software for many years, a separate maintenance management system had been implemented to collect and manage the assets within parks and related facilities.
The drawbacks to this setup were substantial.
Even though field crews could collect data with their Juno STs — a Trimble Navigation Ltd. non-rugged GPS receiver that provides 2- to 5-meter positioning — they had no way of knowing if it had already been recorded because there wasn't an underlying base map or link back to the system.
In addition, the department was spending money to process that data. It was necessary to send field data to the company that developed the system, which took three to four days and cost $79 for each batch. Depending on acreage, the company also charged $100 to $500 to create a database and digitize the base layers for every park, as well as a $250 set-up fee.
"While the handheld device confirmed data had been collected, it didn't show where you were or if the points had been collected before," says Hillhouse. "Basically, we were collecting the data blind. As a result, some points were unintentionally collected several times and others not at all."
In 2009, he began developing and deploying a replacement by applying for a 2009 Esri/Trimble Navigation Ltd. Mobile Government Demonstration Grant. He wanted something that would be fully compatible with the city's existing ArcGIS enterprise system so Department of Operations and Maintenance employees could easily access and see park-related data collected by other departments, not just their own. As one of 20 recipients that year, his department received a Trimble Juno and a license for ArcPad 8 software that he's since upgraded to ArcPad 10.
Based on Esri's ArcPad software, the Park Asset Data Collection and Data Conversion Program (ParkPAD) has greatly improved the ability to collect and manage assets. Field crews now see a digitized image of an asset that shows whether data's already been collected. Getting data in and out of the system is quick and easy, and updates are performed in near real time from the field.
The software is being used on a local install, not on the server. Although it was free as part of the grant, the Information Technologies Department pays a $250 annual maintenance agreement fee.
Part of an enterprise GIS solution that integrates directly with Esri's desktop and server products, ArcPad has been updated several times since its debut in 2000. In addition to Las Vegas, Seattle uses the software to maintain a citywide inventory of sidewalks and curb ramps. The City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation recouped more than 200 hours of productivity per week in solid resources collection. U.S. Census Bureau field teams customized the software to capture and update geographic information during their 2010 census efforts.
The Las Vegas Parks and Open Spaces Division is working with the city's Information Technologies Department to finish digitizing the base layers for all parks, landscaped areas, trails, medians, school landscaping, and sports fields. These new layers will make it easier to collect and track the number, location, and condition of assets such as playgrounds, shade structures, drinking fountains, picnic areas, and benches.
This new data will be included in the city's enterprise GIS so it's available to other departments. Some maintain their own datasets for park assets, and there are discrepancies between them. Using a single dataset is particularly useful for the Department of Operations and Maintenance, which maintains the parks, and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services, which schedules outdoor events, manages sports fields, and manages the use of picnic and other recreation areas.
The new database has produced immediate savings as well.
Las Vegas is in the Mojave Desert, where conservation is very important. The vegetation layers are used to determine the square footage of each park so the correct amount of seed, fertilizers, and herbicides can be calculated and purchased. In a related project, the data from an earlier tree study was added so parks maintenance staff could determine water usage requirements for each tree based on species, size, location, and so on.
In the project's next stage, an irrigation layer will be created to include irrigation clocks, stations, valves, and controls. This will enable repair crews to quickly locate equipment when there's a break in the water main or if a valve becomes inoperable.
"Our use of GIS continues to grow," Hillhouse says. "In the near future, we'll be posting our parks data on the city Web site for residents and visitors so they can find information and make reservations for a specific site using an interactive park finder."
Though he hasn't quantified how much the effort has saved the city, he says "we save many hours of work each week based on the work that has already been done. As we move forward with the project, we anticipate even more savings."
In the meantime, he has some advice.
"Upon initial acquisition of the equipment and database set-up, it's tempting to put in every item. It can get overwhelming. Decrease the number of item types by classifying items so they can be used several different ways.
"Make sure to check out all of the options available, too. While ArcPad was the right product for us, it may not be the best for your operation."

Can we get back to winterizing bees now????????? :-D
Much of Northern Wisconsin can be much colder than much of Alaska.
My point remains that latitudes mean little when comparing weather patterns.
:deadhorse: Not sure what it is you're looking for or where you're going with all this, but you win Finski. You're right dude! -97F is much colder than we've ever gotten as long as I've been around Northern Wisconsin. -42 is our coldest recorded..
I'm not sure why I allow you to suck me into this madness all the time, but I'm learning :shock:
"A cave is indeed a very dark place" :)
This is a british design and made hive not a finnish import... The roof is thicker than those imported from Finland
It would be good, if Britain would have more competition and own production. Prices are awfull in Br.But look at the wall. It is 35 mm thick. Finnish is 40 mm.
Finnish priceroof 11box .16floor 15 42 euros
When is Finland going to catch up with Michigan?
I am still wondering about wintering LOL!!! My basic prep is to wrap as the op mentioned with felt paper Not a good idea? Has worked moderately well in the past....
Couple of years huh. :laugh: Have you read any studies about how long it takes polystyrene to decompose?

Jaffrey youth theater program takes Shakespeare appeal online
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | February 02. 2014 9:02PM
Project Shakespeare launched an IndieGoGO campaign Saturday to raise money to send students to England in August to perform their production of Hamlet at Stratford-upon-Avon. Arthur Gould, 19, of Antrim sword fights Christopher Commander, 20, of Jaffrey in an excerpt of Project Shakespeare's Hamlet at Jaffrey Riverfest in July. Photo (MEGHAN PIERCE PHOTO)
Project Shakespeare launched an IndieGoGO campaign Saturday to raise money to send nine students to England in August to perform its student production of Hamlet on the Royal Shakespeare Company's outdoor stage in Stratford-upon-Avon.
"It is a big honor and it is a first," said Deborah S. Thurber, artist director of Project Shakespeare.
The aim of the IndieGoGo campaign is to raise a third of the costs, $10,000.
"Tell your friends, tell your friends to tell their friends because that's how we will make our money through the connections that we all have. We have to cast a large web these days," Thurber said.

Tried to apply for swan permit for my son and friend (I have shot my fill), but shows up as a "party hunt".
Wrote DNR and asked why, this is response:
Thank you for your recent inquiry to North Carolina Wildlife in regards to applying for the Tundra Swan Permit. The Tundra Swan permit can be applied as an Individual or has a Party hunt. Based on your e-mail below, it appears that you are trying to add yourself to a party which is going to require you to enter a Party Number. If you are applying as an individual, you will need to choose "Start a New Hunt" party and then you will be assigned a party number.
Anybody from NCDNR care to comment. Has it always been this way? Shot my swans years ago at Mattmuskeet and do not remember how got permit.

I've been looking throughout the internet for lyrcra suits, clone armor, and reproduction helmets for clone troopers.
I've discoverd it is not an easy task nor cheap to get a good quality costumes.
http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/pro...roduct_id=2842 - EP3 Clone Bucket i may buy.
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/bingo275/clonefan.htm - Fan made Suits and helmets VERY good "suggest you look :)"
http://www.starfortressproductions.c...clonearmor.jpg - A suit of clone armor
http://www.starfortressproductions.c...g/snowboot.jpg - Snow trooper boots im going to use for clone boots possibly.
http://www.starfortressproductions.com/swtheempire.html - Website where clone armor is sold.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ance&n=3375251 - A lyrcra suit probably like the one i will get.
All together will cost around $1,700 dollars. I'm not complaining its good quality stuff. But, there is always the chance that i could get it cheaper. Also instead of the ROTS Clone helmet i'd rather have a AOTC Clone helmet, like ARC Troopers.
So it brings me back to my point. This probably isnt the place but it was one of the good "ACTIVE" forums about starwars props relating to what i need that i found. If anyone has any information, selling items, or near my location "Knightdale NC" maybe you could assist me.
Me and my friend are going to do this together and probably go to a convention. So i dont want any atroshish looking equip. Thanks :albino

When freshman Brice Johnson puts up a shot, Bullock said everyone on the team wonders how he makes an easy bucket, time after time.
Just two boards shy of a double-double, Johnson put his nickname into action against East Tennessee State on Saturday, notching 12 points and eight rebounds.
"Offensively he's doing great," Bullock said of Johnson's play so far this season. "He's running the floor well. He's playing a lot better than an average freshman would probably play for Carolina. He's doing really well for us and is definitely an energy booster for us and an offensive scorer coming off the bench early."
Fighting for North Carolina's fifth starting spot alongside Desmond Hubert and fellow freshman Joel James, Johnson waits to see if coach Roy Williams writes his name on the white board 30 minutes before each game.
Though that wasn't the case for the forward before playing the Buccaneers, when Johnson came off the bench in the first half he scored eight points on 4-for-4 shooting. Three of those baskets were assertive dunks.
The Orangeburg, S.C., native said practices are very competitive and intense thanks to the battle for the five spot. No matter what Williams decides before each game, Johnson is always supportive.
"Whoever comes in there has to play," Johnson said. "It doesn't matter. It's whatever coach wants me to do. If he puts me out there to start, I'll go out there and start. But if he doesn't, I just have to live with his decision. It's his decision."
So rather than worrying about the choice, Johnson puts his effort into improving each day. He said getting the generous amounts of playing time he has already received this season has been how he's made the biggest improvements thus far.
Adjusting to playing in college has been the hardest for Johnson on the defensive end. Switching from zone to man coverage has been a tough adjustment, but Johnson said he's eager to learn more from his coaches.
Bullock agreed and added that when Johnson adds more grit to his play on defense, he has the ability to be dominant. Still, his teammates have been impressed with his effort so far.
"Brice always comes to play," senior Dexter Strickland said. "People don't expect that from him cause he's skinny and he's a freshman and stuff like that. And I say that in a good way. You don't expect that from him, but it's good when he goes out there and proves everybody wrong. He had a great game. He has a nice feel for the rim and brings a lot of intensity."
Even though Williams said that he liked the defensive improvements Johnson showed in the first half, including four defensive boards, Johnson still is on a mission to get better. Though he said he played, "OK," Johnson wants more.
"I'm not where I want to be," Johnson said. "I have to get a lot better. You can never be too good."

Gifts for him this Christmas
December 10th, 20100
Men can be very tricky to buy for at Christmas, whether it's your other half, brother, Dad, friend, work colleague or other relative. So we've put our heads together and compiled a list of man friendly gifts for Christmas.
- Watch
- Leather belt
- Scarf
- Jacket
- Wallet
- Man bag
- Dressing gown
- DVDs
- After shave
- A bottle of their favourite tipple
- Diary
- Gig tickets
- A tangerine (only if he's been really bad!)
- Coat
- Money towards a post-Christmas get-away
- Gadgets, men love gadgets, whether for the garage, kitchen or just for fun, a gadget will usually push all the right buttons with a fella. What gadgets, we couldn't tell you, we're women! So you'll have to do your research!
These are all fairly standard Christmas gifts for men, but from what we know about men, they're quite simple creatures and as Christmas is a time for many of their favourite things; eating, drinking, sitting in front of the TV, receiving a gift on top of this is a bonus! Plus, we think that men get most of their underwear and socks over numerous Christmases, goodness knows the kind of underwear men would be wearing if they didn't receive a couple of nice pairs of boxers at Christmas. So, although socks and underwear as gifts for men is a little cliché at least they'll have a couple more pairs of nice pants to keep them going until next year! But if you don't want to buy him underwear, why not buy yourself some? A gorgeous new lingerie set that you can both benefit from, now that's our kind of present!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Cool man great pics wish I could have been there with ya but the backcountry class at Brighton was really helpful in connecting some of the dots from "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain" I really need more beacon practice though and none of the beacon parks are open yet :-(
Another climber\backpacker friend of mine from Minnesota just showed up in park city last week for the winter and he has all his avy gear(but like me little clue on how to use it) also has a job at the canyons so he gets like 4 Brighton\snowbird lift tickets a month so hopefully we can use each others beacons to practice with. Right now I really want to focus on terrain management, safe travel and getting familiar with my beacon rather than snow science and all that. Am on call next weekend so I took Thursday off to hopefully ride the fresh snow were supposed to get Wednesday night.
We need alot more snow to ride most of the sidecountry around Brighton looks nasty our there a couple feet of faceted snow covering up rocks and stumps :-(
Hey you ever ride that route down to the golf course in Heber?
|Yea I went another way than the way you normally go. I went to the right of that peak since I wanted to get a better view of how Wolverine Cirque is looking. That was my mistake. This forced me to skin or boot pack up one of the steep chutes. Lesson learned go the way you're supposed to which is up the peak to the right and down the it and stay on ridge lines the entire time.
Nah the peak in the middle with all of the snow is what I was planning on riding. There are some fun lines in that last photo. There are two lines I really want to ride this year, seagull which is the chute in the middle of the mountain on the left and escalator which is in the middle of the peak on the right.
From looking at the tracks coming down the middle it appears wolverine has enough snow on it.
Whoaaa that Bowl has some serious versatility in terrain..... That would be mega fun with a lot of snow
Did you crush your board? Only looks to have inches on it
An attempt of Wolverine Bowl
I went to Wolverine Bowl last year and decided this morning it would be a fun mellow place to go since I was rolling solo. I tried a new approach since snow level are still low and this was a mistake.
Coming over the ridge I was in treat for a nice view
Looking into Stupid Chute the skin track went up so I was slightly concerned about it.
Once I was in the chute, went out of the skin track and wanted to go above the skin track to see if I could get anything to move. Well I did and about 9" of new snow just slipped out under my skis. This was great concern and I opted to turn around at this point. I probably would have been fine, but I wanted to play it safe since I was solo. No photos were taken inside the chute due to wanting to get out of the exposure as quick as possible.
I went over to another ridge and got some really good turns and disappointed I didn't lap the area all day.
The peak in the middle is Wolverine Bowl, the area I wanted to hit. Now I know not to ever go the way I went and will go the regular way when approaching from Brighton. The turns looked good, but there will be other days to get good turns in there.
I do know once we get a good size storm it is going to be scary out there.

I have long been a fan of Test Driven Development (TDD). I have used all kinds of frameworks for doing my tests and for all of them have adopted the Act, Arrange, Assert pattern. I have looked into doing Behaviour-Driven Development and like the idea, just never found a framework that I was comfortable with and could use back and forth with unit testing.
I have been using OCUnit that ships with Xcode to do my testing. I decided that I wanted to branch out. I had heard good things about Kiwi for doing BDD with iOS. I decided that I should try it out. I normally I stick to the web and spelunking, yet this time I decided to buy a book on the subject: Test Driving iOS Development with Kiwi. This book is only available from the iBooks store.
I have to say the book was worth every penny. I really thought it was a simple and easy introduction. It doesn't try and cover every nook of the framework, but it gives you enough information to get you started and how you can easily use it. It also takes advantage of the fact it works on the iPad: you get media built right into the book. Rather than just text walk throughs, you get video / slides of how to do things visually. I really love this new way of doing books.
If you have never done or looking to do testing for you application (shame on you if you don't), you should really look into this book and Kiwi. I give it 5 stars!

Seattle • The offense is run through two talented, imposing Canadian forwards.
But in Thursday's Pac-12 Conference Tournament first-round game against the Arizona Wildcats, the offense used by the Utah Utes was to stretch the zone defense and hit many, many 3-pointers. Junior Michelle Plouffe drained a game-high four 3-pointers, while fellow junior Taryn Wicijowski found the open shooter after drawing double team after double team.
"When it's your turn," said Utah coach Anthony Levrets of his seasonlong message to his players, "you've got to make your shot."
Utah did.
The Utes weaved the ball around the perimeter with ease and hit a season-high 12 3-point baskets in Thursday's 66-48 victory over the Wildcats at Key Arena in Seattle. The victory was particularly sweet for the Utes, who twice fell victim to the Wildcats during the regular season.
"They played a great game," said Arizona coach Niya Butts.
Utah (18-12) was hot from deep, sinking 11 first-half 3s. The team also moved past a team it sorely wanted a third shot at and now will face No. 14-ranked UCLA (23-6) Friday afternoon in a Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinal.
"All year long, we've thought the strength of this team is that we have really good post players," said Levrets, "but we have the ability to make 3s.
"You don't ever expect to make 11 out of 13 that's just crazy."
An appropriate summary.
The Utes were ready for the Arizona zone from the get-go. Senior guard Iwalani Rodrigues, who finished with 10 points and pestered Wildcat star Davellyn Whyte throughout the game, sank Utah's first 3 from behind the arc.
The rest? Well, many more 3s.
Senior Rachel Messer made three herself. Sophomore Ciera Dunbar had two. Freshman Danielle Rodriguez got in on the action with one. Plouffe, who had a game-high 24 points and nine rebounds, said seeing teammates hit big shots fueled other Utes to follow suit.
"Everyone got confidence," she said. "We just feed off each other on the court."
As for Wicijowski, she simply waited. The junior forward who finished with 14 points on 7-of-14 shooting waited for a Wildcat to collapse, and when one did, she found an open teammate.
"I was getting pretty pumped," she said. "A lot of it was coming through me. … You can always knock down a wide-open shot."
Utah had many of those.
While the Utes cooled down in the second half, the defense didn't. Utah forced Arizona to commit 14 turnovers, many of which came in a second half when the Utes did not relent. The team prides itself on defense and once the basket shrunk down to normal size, Utah responded appropriately.
Now Utah gets another shot at the Bruins, a team that railroaded the Utes 70-42 on Feb 3 in Los Angeles. But Utah was without Wicijowski then, and Levrets expects Friday's matchup to be a little different than the first.
"We have talented players," he said, "and they're going to come out and compete."

Kristoffer Olsson admits that Marseille will provide a stern test of Arsenal's credentials in the opening game of the NextGen Series.
Terry Burton's side make their debut in the competition - which has been billed as a Champions League for under-19s - against the French club at Underhill on Wednesday night.
It is a major occasion for the Club's rising stars, and Olsson is confident the Gunners will rise to the challenge.
"We are all looking forward to it, it is great opportunity for everybody," Olsson told Arsenal.com. "To get to play against the best players of your age group will be a great experience.
"I played for Sweden Under-17s against the French national team and they were very good, so Marseille will be tough opponents.
"French teams have everything; they are strong and very good technically, so I expect Wednesday's match to be a good test."
Arsenal have been drawn against Marseille, Athletic Bilbao and Olympiacos in Group Six, but Olsson believes the Gunners have the quality to win the whole competition.
"I think we can win it," he said. "We have a great academy and youth team, so we have a good chance."

Former Steelers coach Chuck Noll dies at 82; only coach to win four Super Bowls
Chuck Noll, the only coach to win four Super Bowls, has died.
Noll, 82, has been in ill health for a number of years with Alzheimer's disease, a heart condition and back problems. He died in his sleep Friday night at home in Sewickley, Pa.. He has lived in both Florida and in Sewickley since his retirement as Steelers coach after the 1991 season.
He coached the Pittsburgh Steelers for 23 years, starting in 1969. His first team went 1-13. His fifth won the Steelers first NFL championship in Super Bowl IX. They would win four Super Bowls in six years, culminating with a victory in Super Bowl XIV.
Noll's record was 209-156-1, including the postseason.
Joe Gordon, who took over as Steelers public relations director in 1969 and worked into the 1990s, said he talked to Noll's wife, Marianne, Friday evening and she said he was doing fine. He went to bed and when Marianne Noll checked on him later, he was unresponsive.
"He was a hell of a man," Gordon said last night. "He was special. He was not your typical football coach, that's for sure."

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by viman96, Nov 11, 2012.
Not his best night. Still have high hope for him.
I remember Patrick Peterson struggling with the same thing last season. Maybe it's because they can be more physical in the SEC? At any rate, he adjusted nicely and so will mo
I kept waiting for somebody to go up to him and tell him he was playing against Riley Cooper.
He doesn't seem to be doing it because he's getting beat, but rather because he's just "handsy". That will get better. A couple were kind of ticky tack -- he doesn't need to get a reputation for this, though.
actually, i wanted to get a discussion going on the holding called on claiborne and scandrick that occurred during press coverage - both times the play was on the other side of the field or away from where the holding was called. And the holding occurred within 5 yards where you are allowed contact.
Bad/good calls by the refs ? and also will rob's defense incur these calls frequently because of the amount of press coverage called.
LOL, i was thinking the same
i do watch alot of sec football games and it does seem alot of cbs do get away with hands on receivers more. claiborne needs to work on his hand placement on receivers when he does watch out he will be a corner not to be picked on. he also rookie so teams are testing him alot.
Not particularly worried about this. If he is still doing it two years, thats another story.
Patrick Peterson is still getting roasted this year.
Part of me wonders if part of the problem is trying to be physical.
In the sense that he was getting his hands on the WR early but really wasn't disrupting much so he either stuck with the contact to try and get the job done or stuck with it because he knew he would give up positioning.
Being physical is great and I suspect he'll improve in that area as he works through an NFL training program and improves on technique but when you are trying to be physical and not really impeding the WR at all, I think this is kind of what you get.
Scandrick is also handsy.
Not worried about Mo. He has the mind of a playmaker.
Looks more like a cover corner than a 'playmaker' to me. But I guess it depends upon your definition.
Watch more closely.
he's been getting away with it all year, that's why he was so shocked it was getting called.
Mo will be fine. He will be a cornerstone of the secondary for years.
maybe the refs just called a tighter game tonight regarding that.
Not worried about him, he has played half an NFL season. If anything, a game like this will even motivate him further to excel in the future, it is a learning curve.
I personally thought most of them were BS. Especially the one were he held Cooper's hand with his shoulder pad.
One of the calls was ticky tacky and I don't remember the other well enough. He's going to get those with how he presses but that's him and Ryan's D as well. He's got to learn to chuck harder then get in their pocket. And you can't get caught holding their jersey or arm whatever.


text: O.K. the only red dot sight I have is the open halograghic type mounted on my S.B.R on the top cover, and I love it. now I need one for a full sized rifle with a side mount rail and a bp-02 mount that centers it with top rail. I am thinking a tube(looking at a 30mm) type red dot would look astetically better on this all black rifle, but wondered if it basically works the same as my open halo one?any cons or pro's comparing the two types?

Pat's View: Hard to say hello
Editors Note: We are pleased to announce with some pride and definite excitement that Pat Cashman has joined us as a contributing writer. Cashman's well known stints with KING TV's Almost Live, as the commercial face for Taco Time Northwest, and others, his time on local radio and now with his latest television venture "The 206" keep him very busy. We're happy to have his comic and thoughtful writing on our pages.
By Pat Cashman
No one knows for sure when singing was invented.
Maybe it happened during caveman days, when Trog said to Ogg: "Remember yesterday when you were discovering fire and you burned your hand and started screaming real high? Well I must tell you ya---it sounded real good! In fact, all the women in our tribe want to know if you can do it again---except this time, put words to it."
Since then, the theme of saying "goodbye," has been a constant in music, poetry, literature and movies. It is generally regarded as the hardest task in life, except for doing your own taxes---and changing a newborn.
However, getting far less attention is the difficulty of saying…"hello." Especially when you have to say it more than once.
Now it may be true that it's not so tough to say "hello" to someone you know well. A simple "Hey!" or "Yo!" will suffice. Maybe just a nod or a smiling grunt is good enough. You can do that all day with someone you really know.
Even a fist bump is generally OK, except for heads-of-state and the clergy.
But things get trickier when you encounter not-quite friends---like in the workplace.
For example, you might step into the elevator and run smack into Lou, the guy who works in another department down the hall. You know really nothing more about him---so you may go with: "Good morning, Lou. How ya doin?"
OK, that initial 'hello' was not difficult---and you even remembered his name. But maybe five minutes later, you head into the restroom---and there's Lou again.
Now it gets more challenging.
"Hey Lou, long time, no see!" That's a pretty good one---and nearly witty.
Or maybe: "Hey Lou, what ya been up to since the elevator?"
You might even use your mutual venue in the restroom as subject matter: "I guess we both had a little too much coffee this morning, eh Lou?"
Or perhaps, "Welcome to the loo, Lou."
The third time you run into him though, it really starts getting awkward. After all, you don't really know the guy---and it's really risky trying to say more than you know for sure:
"Hey Lou, how's your wife?"
"I'm not married."
"Right. Talk to you later."
So it's safest to keep that third greeting a traditional one, even if lame: "We've got to stop meeting like this."
Also available: "You don't have a twin, do ya?"
"Getting to be a habit, eh Lou?"
Or, "I'm getting a powerful feeling of deja Lou."
Let's face it, by then you're tapped out. Another encounter in the same day is out of the question, so you've got to do anything to avoid it.
If you have a desk, stay there the rest of the day.
If you do have to walk down a hallway, always carry a cell phone so you can pretend to be talking to someone. If Lou strolls by, you could wave slightly---but keep going.
Otherwise, keep a coin, pen or plastic comb at the ready. If you see Lou coming toward you, casually drop the object to the floor and stoop over to pick it up, thereby appearing not to notice as Lou approaches.
Of course, Lou could throw a wrench into the plan if he stops to say, "Dropped something, eh?"
Nuts! Now you're just going to have to quit your job and move on to another company.
Meanwhile---to whoever (or is it whomever?) may read this initial writing (or is it righting?) …Or at least took the time to skip to the end: "Hello! Until we meet again."
We encourage our readers to comment. No registration is required. We ask that you keep your comments free of profanity and keep them civil. They are moderated and objectionable comments will be removed.

I got the inspiration for this from a fellow TDH member.
It started off as an ESB blaster, but I made an ROTJ barrel that I can swap over any time I want.
The main part of it is a toy gun from a local "Reject" shop, with a rifle stock etc added to it.
OK I realise that the scope's probably a bit large, but it was the only type that my Bro-in-law...(he owns a hunting and fishing store)...had in his junk pile...(he came in handy for the stock too.

Southwest Virginia farmers say cold weather was good and bad
ABINGDON, Va. - The warm weather had Southwest Virginia farmers smiling on Saturday at the Abingdon Farmer's Market. It's been a long week for the farmers.
"We were at eight below and we were at two below just this past week and three above," said farmer Barbara Kling.
A couple booths down, David King couldn't agree more.
"This is the first time ever in the 18 years we've lived here that it's been this cold," said King.
Although King tells me "it's part of farming," the cold weather isn't something he looked forward to.
"Mentally, I tried to prepare," he said laughing.
King is produce farmer who specializes in salad greens.
He told us some of the hearty greens can survive unprotected when temperatures dip into the teens and others can survive covered, in single digit weather.
This week, he said, it was just too cold.
"This killed most of what's outside," said King.
He told us he used covers and extra heaters inside his greenhouse to save what he could.
"We don't normally use those but when it gets into single digits it's time to get them out," said King.
King sold a table full of greens on Saturday but he said he still expects his pocketbook to take a hit over the next few months.
It will "effect us short term, in terms of our income next spring," said King.
The cold wasn't bad for all crops. Barbara Kling tells me her garlic thrived.
"We were really happy to have snow on it because it's like a blanket for it," she said.
Kling told us the snow acts like an insulator for the crop.
Cattle farmers also told us the snow and frigid temperatures have been good for their herds.
"The grounds been frozen," said Dwayne McIntyre, "There's not been a lot of mud. The cows have been doing really good."
McIntyre told us muddy pastures can cause the cattle to become ill more frequently. He said their only challenge has been keeping the water troughs from freezing.
This is the first year the Abingdon Farmer's Market has held their "Winter Market" twice a month. Vendors will be at the market on the first and third Saturday of every month.

Though it's a bit too expensive, it does seem to keep my blood pressure under control. I mix two teaspoons with orange juice twice a day (since I haven't found a more tastier to drink it :-) I like the fact that it's freeze dried and organic, but it would be nice if it cost less; perhaps sold in a more economical, larger container.
Very natural indeed

As time goes by I am searching and searching for more qualitative, more natural and better products to supplement my diet. It is my first such try of raw, organic veggies. Up to this time I was only using tablets and capsules, except from protein or collagen powder. I must say, that it is good try and buy. It is interesting to use it in the shaker. Some kind of ritual:)Especially my man likes it, because it reminds him of beet soup, which I am not preparing for him too often:) I don't know if it could help to any disease, but I think that it is helpful for better blood, mood and energy. People from northern countries as me need it indeed. We do not have 4 harvests a year, only 1 or 1,5 :)

Beets make your liver happy. Love your liver, keep your gallbladder. I have just ordered my second jar of this powder as I was very happy with the first jar. My ONLY warning is to beware taking this with a strong B-Complex vitamin. I'd taken a very potent B-Complex vitamin capsule about 30 minutes before I took my first dose of this and flushed, well, beet red! I knew it was a niacin flush, but wow, it took my skin about 45 minutes to get back to normal. My whole body turned way red. There must have been a reaction between the powder and the niacin in the B-Complex. After that, I took them at LEAST an hour apart, and no problems.

I bought this since the Sonne's beet juice powder was discontinued on iHerb. It is made the right way - low-temperature dried juice. I don't know if the soil for the beets had as much nutrition as the Sonne's does. Tastes good, and covers the spiciness of cayenne powder if taken together. For the price, it's a good deal. I'd buy it again.

The world of design flourishes on technology transfer. A design discipline can often achieve innovative breakthroughs by borrowing materials, processes, and applications from another. Apparel design has been a popular interest within the field of architecture, for example, which has a long tradition of architectural textiles. As the Torino, Italy–based firm Yet/Matilde demonstrates, furniture design can also benefit from borrowing materials and approaches from the world of textiles.
Yet/Matilde's Continuous Function project explores the latent, multidimensional possibilities of structural fabrics. The furniture line showcases an unconventional use of jute fiber, a vegetable material that is the second most used fiber after cotton. The designers created rectilinear molds on which to drape multiple layers of the fabric, adding epoxy resin to create a rigid frame. Additional layers of fabric were added within the jute-epoxy framework for additional support and storage.
Although the indivisible marriage of epoxy resin and natural fiber results in an environmentally questionable hybrid, the use of biobased resins could result in a biocompatible and recyclable product. With regard to design, the transformation of a soft material from the fashion world into a rigid substance for the realm of furnishings marks an intriguing example of technology transfer with much future potential.
"As fashion absorbed design, Continuous Function exploits its materials," Yet/Matilde says. "Continuous Function goes beyond the traditional discontinuity differentiations of elements and materials in a product and creates a new relation with the space, through the use of unconventional materials and production processes."

Arsenal could be without William Gallas and Emmanuel Eboue for the trip to Stoke on Saturday.
Both defenders were involved in the 4-4 draw with Tottenham on Wednesday night and picked up niggles. The captain has a hamstring problem while the Ivorian defender is struggling with his knee. The former is almost certainly out while the latter is facing further tests.
"It looks like Gallas will be out and maybe Eboue too," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online on Thursday lunchtime. "We'll assess him tomorrow.
"It is a little recurrence of the hamstring for William and for Manu it is his knee. He is not running properly at the moment. He still has pain there."
TV Online subscribers can see the full interview on Friday morning, in it the Arsenal manager talks about:
- The lessons of the draw against Tottenham
- Conceding goals from distance
- Maturity in the side
- Keeping the spirit in the side high
- Going third but losing ground on the leaders
- How he rotates his squad at busy times
- Facing a tough Stoke side
- Coping with Rory Delap's throw-ins
- Whether he would ever use that tactic

In the Sweat family, 2013 has been divided into "BW" and "AW," before wedding and after wedding. The time came and went so quickly. But Oct. 20, the day my son married, was beautiful, weather wise, people wise and wedding wise.
As promised to many at the reception, I have recipes for you that were on the menu prepared by my very dear friend Carol Huggins Brown. They are Ham Cups and Chicken Salad, which received rave reviews. She also made small rolls that my sisters-in-law put ham on. Carol is a former "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" and you can see why.
The wedding was beautiful and there were no hitches to speak of. I did manage to get the wedding cake together with the help of my husband. We chose to buy a bucket of icing — it takes a lot of icing for a wedding cake — at Sam's Club and one of the bride's friends from the Sam's Club bakery added beautiful, colorful flowers on all layers.
Atop the cake was a scene reminiscent of the British TV series "Dr. Who," the Tardis, which looks like an English phone booth, and a bride and groom running into the Tardis. It was amazing how many of the young scene were oohing and ahhing over the topper.
The groom's marble cake was decorated by Toni, the bride, and had a picture of a Tardis on the top. There was also a small cake that has been packed and frozen for them to cut on their first anniversary. On top of the cake were purple roses to tie in with the large cake and something that I have been preserving for probably close to 25 years. They were mauve roses that my mom made and she wished that maybe some of the roses and rose buds would be used on her lone grandson's wedding cake. I did remove them before freezing the newlyweds' anniversary cake because I thought they had been preserved long enough.
I hope you will enjoy these recipes as much as the wedding guests did.

Carol's Favorite Bread
Put milk in a glass container and heat in the microwave oven for 4 minutes. In an 8-ounce glass, combine yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar and hot tap water. Set aside and let rise until doubled. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, canola oil, salt and hot milk. Mix well and add yeast mixture. Add beaten eggs; work in all purpose flour until it is no longer sticky and is easy to handle. Put oil in the bowl and coat the dough. Let rise until doubled (usually about an hour). Punch down, shape into small rolls and let rise again. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.
Ham Cups
Mix first five ingredients. Peel back the layers of the biscuit. Each biscuit should make 4 ham cups. Place biscuit layer in the bottom of a mini muffin pan. Place the ham mixture in the cup. Bake at 325 degrees for 8 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Chicken Salad
Mix all ingredients together. Serve on small rolls or mini croissants.

No. 1 USC Women, No. 5 Men Sweep Wisconsin
Jan. 12, 2013
In its first action in Southern California since returning from their training camp in Hawaii, USC's No. 1 women's swim team and the No. 5 men's squad swept visiting Wisconsin on Saturday (Jan. 12) at USC.
With the trappings of the newly started construction of the upcoming Uytengsu Aquatics Center surrounding the pool, the women's squad posted a 144.5-109.5 victory over the Badgers while USC's men won, 145-109.
The USC women improved to 8-0 on the year while the men moved to 5-0.
Senior Haley Anderson opened the individual events with a win in the 1000y free in 9:53.07 with Badger freshman Jenny Holtzen taking second (10:09.27). Trojan sophomore Andrea Basaraba was third (10:10.45) in a season best effort.
Wisconsin All-American and national teamer Michael Weiss won the men's 1000y free in 9:13.24 with Trojan freshman Ted Singley taking second (9:22.44).

text: Taking their name from the Gaelic word for "family," Clannad formed in 1970 when the Brennan family -- Maire (vocals, harp), Ciaran (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards), Pol (guitar, percussion, flute, vocals) -- began playing at their father Leo's tavern with two of their uncles, Padraig Duggan (guitar, vocals, mandolin) and Noel Duggan (guitar, vocals). Soon afterward, the group began playing folk festivals in Ireland. They released their self-titled first album in 1973, yet the band didn't earn any widespread success until they toured Germany in 1975. Maire's sister, Enya, joined the group in 1980, but left in 1982, just as the group was beginning to come into some pop success in the U.K. Clannad recorded the theme song for the television program Harry's Game; the single hit number five on the charts and won the band an Ivor Novello Award. The band recorded the soundtrack to the television production Robin of Sherwood in 1984; it won a British Academy Award for best soundtrack the next year. Clannad's success continued in 1986, when U2's Bono was featured on the Top 20 hit "In a Lifetime." The band continued to release albums into the '90s, building their pop following without losing their folk audience. Landmarks, which was issued in early 1997, earned the group their first ever Grammy award, though it also signaled the beginning of a long hiatus from the stage, and an indefinite one in regards to the studio. Compilations like The Best of Clannad: In a Lifetime and solo projects from Noel and Pádraig (The Duggans) and Moya Brennan dominated the front half of the 2000s, culminating in a 2008 world tour that found Clannad traveling as far as Thailand. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Here is a helpful note I found on the internet several months ago.
"HVLP Spray Gun -
Please note: The gun mentioned below is no longer sold by Harbor Freight. It looks like they have replaced it with a similar gun that uses a little more air. I looked at one and the cap looks the same and I'll bet it sprays as good as the #38308 gun, but I haven't used it. I would like some feedback on it from anyone who has used it. It usually has a #43430 for the order number and is purple.
The Harbor Freight HVLP gun #38308 that did sell for anywhere from $40 to $70 (depending on the sale catalog) is a great gun to use for primers and will also do an excellent job with base color coats and high build clears. It is a good gun for the part time painter as it puts on enough paint to do a good job, but not as much as an expensive production gun does that will get us novices in trouble. This is not a gun a professional would use for overall paint jobs, but I know a lot of pros use this gun for panel repair and primers. So if you are a part time painter who probably paints his rod in pieces and you need a gun that doesn't consume a lot of air I can recommend this gun. I spray with a 5 hp single stage compressor. This is probably the bare minimum you can get away with for an overall paint job (car in one piece).
For high build primers (mixed in highest build form) you might want to order their 1.7 Tip Kit for the gun from their service dept. (the gun comes with a 1.4 tip).
No, I don't work for Harbor Freight, I just like to pass on a good thing when I know one and this is one case where a low cost item has great performance. The one bad thing about the gun is that the instructions are not very good, so I have made up the following instructions based on my experiences with the gun. Any feed back you have on the gun or these instructions is welcome. Sumner
Setting up and spraying with the Harbor Freight HVLP gun #38308
Pressure Adjustment: Open your compressor regulator up so there is plenty of air pressure in the line to the gun (I set mine to about 90 psi). Next set the regulator on the gun handle to 50 psi (what I use for DP40 and K36) with the trigger pulled and leave it set there. Close the valve at the bottom of the handle (on the gun, not the regulator) and then with the trigger pulled, open it to the point where the air volume starts to stay the same (just listen to it) and leave it there (it should be pretty far open at this point). I never mess with this after this unless I think it has been changed.
Note: On my two year old gun they say the maximum pressure is 60 psi. On my new gun it says 40 psi. Instead of the 50 psi above you might try 40 psi if your gun says 40 psi max.
Fan Adjustment: Next open the fluid volume control about 3 turns for starters (at the back of the gun). Close the fan control down (on the left side of the gun behind the nozzle) so when you spray you only get small round circle. With the gun about 6 to 8 inches from a test surface (I use the garage door or better yet some sheet rock, or masking paper) move the gun across the surface (about 6 to 8 inches from the surface) and pull the trigger. As you are moving turn the fan control until you get the desired fan shape/width (about 5-6 inches wide top to bottom oval shape for overall painting) (remember if you are spraying up and down on a surface you can change the nozzle at the front of the gun 90 deg. so the fan is horizontal).
Fluid Control: Next after getting the fan the right size continue spraying and adjust the fluid volume at the back of the gun for the final adjustment to get the fluid right for the gun speed (how fast you sweep it across the work). You want to be laying on the paint at a pretty good volume, but not causing runs at a normal gun sweep speed.
Changing the pressure to match spec sheets: Now you're ready to paint and with 50 psi at the handle the gun is spraying about 10 psi at the cap. If you want 5 psi at the cap put 25 at the handle regulator (8 psi = 40 psi, 7 psi= 35 psi, etc.). You can't actually see the pressure at the cap which is what the spec sheets are referring to. The gun is internally regulating the pressure down based on the inlet pressure. Some expensive guns have a gauge off the back of the handle that tells you the cap pressure and then they also have a regulator and gauge at the bottom of the handle like this gun that regulates the pressure into the gun.
Painting: Look at what your painting and the way the paint is going on the surface right behind the gun and adjust from there. For instance if you want to spray some small areas/parts you can turn the fan down to a small round size. You will also have to greatly shut the fluid volume down at the back of the gun (clockwise) at the same time to avoid runs. I usually turn the air pressure at the regulator on the handle down to around 25 to 35 psi to do spot work like this.
Proper Pressure: Remember you need a high air pressure (Set as the spec sheet calls for) so that you get proper atomization and so you can turn the volume up. The higher pressure will actually mean fewer runs since the atomization is better. This is not so critical with the primers, but you really need it with the sealer, base, and clear coats so you get good coverage without runs and with little orange peel.
Note: I'm not a professional painter, but the above is what works for me. If anyone else has anything they would like to add to the above or comment on please e-mail me."
I personally set the regulator on the handle of my gut @ 50psig and get great atomization and paint usage.
Welcome to this site,
you also might wanna try posting this in the garage or body/exterior forum.
Have fun,
harbor freight hvlp gun
New member... from what I've read you guys get into
some pretty cool stuff. I've been web searching until
I'm blue in the face but can't find any resources to help
me out - hoping one of you guys can as it seems you're
the heaviest hitters on the subject.
I Would appreciate any and all help...
Without doing my homework first, I bought a hvlp
gun from harbor freight. I heard a few years ago about
how great hvlp was. It is HF model 7902. I've used
hi pressure sprayers before but have no experience
with hvlp. Maybe someone with hvlp exp. could figure
it out, but the manual blows for a first timer.
Can anyone give me any clues as to setup?
The gun and can have several adjustment knobs but
the manual doesn't say what any of them are for and I
don't want to blow the thing or myself to bits.
Thanks much.
