Re: bottom
We had 40 plus years of antifouling that we had to remove. ( looked very much like the above images )
This was applied to a 1964 grp 26 foot yacht.We know Both the previous owners they always scrapped off the loose and recoated .....
Click on page 3 for images PAGE 3
I ended up by using an electric hot air paint stripping gun and a FULL faced dust and Fume mask.
It took a long time to get off and then we sanded the whole of the bottom down with a 150 grit sandpaper.
It was one of them nasty jobs that just had to be done.
Re: bottom
You have basically the same deal as me... no blisters (well mine have been repaired before, and I have found 1 since)...
But basically if it had anti-fouling on it already at one point, then it likely has has barrier coat as well.
Scrape off all the anti-fouling (only if it's so bad that it's flaking off)... If you do this... do it all. Sand, 60 grit or 80 grit. Once smooth... use a wash to remove any mold release if you accidentally hit fiberglass removing the anti-fouling (trust me you will, lots).
Once that is done, fill the scratches, and gouges (there will be plenty)... fair the keel (make everything smooth-ish)... Then barrier coat. Then bottom paint.
The alternative (that I now STRONGLY recommend)... soda blast the bottom. Its quicker, and less labor for you! Even if you've never done it, the learning curve HAS to be better.
This is what I started with:
and this:
Fairing Compound:
Barrier Coated:
I've since VC17m'd the bottom (I'm freshwater).
But anyway, I have to say the Interlux 2000e Barrier coat is neat stuff. Hard as nails, auto-levels nicely, and is very thick/tough. Also I used interlux water tight for fairing (boy that stuff is a pain to sand).
EVERYTHING is toxic! Copper ablative, epoxy paints, bottom paints, sanding is especially bad. Use a lead paint removal (or better) respirator, and a bunny suit, gloves... the dust gets into everything!
Re: bottom
Owning a 40 year old boat can be a useful exercise in learning to accept imperfection.
Get out there and sail! Enjoy the beauty of sailing, not the drudgery of boat ownership.
Re: bottom
The barrier coat is intended o be a continuous membrane, so a patchwork approach probably won't fly unless you're repairing damaged parts of a previous barrier. In any event the barrier should not be applied over old anti fouling, I'm afraid.
If the bottom is blister free and it's just a matter of some spot fairing and sanding, then simply cleaning, painting as jw29 suggested may be all you need for now, and go sailing.
Re: bottom
Thank you all, This really helps
When i sand down my bottom to an even surface, is it no problem if there will still be some of the old antifouling remaining and i paint the barriercoat over that ? or should i maybe only apply new barriercoat to those areas that are exposed and/or going to be repaired and not where the old antifauling is still firmly enough attached to the hull that a bit of paint scraping and some sanding will remove it ?
Re: bottom
You might consider using a paint scraper to remove any peeling paint or chips, sand down bottom to a relatively even surface, apply bottom paint with roller and brush, and go sail your boat.
See how it looks next season. By then, you will have even less passion for a bottom job and will probably just do the same thing. Works for me!
Re: bottom
Antifouling paints should not be sprayed... very toxic and the solvents used are probably worse.
Topsides and decks are best painted with two part polyurethanes, nonskid applied with the various purpose-intended coatings like Kiwigrip will yield best results. Adding sand is an iffy proposition.. eventually the paint wears away and the dark sand is exposed.. rather unsightly after a while...
Re: bottom
Drying the exposed laminate can be helped dramatically by careful "washing" the spots/scratches/gouges with acetone. Acetone is very volatile and evaporates quickly. It is also very flammable so no smoking!. It is a great solvent because it will dissolve both oil and water the way alcohol does only better. If you have exposed laminate you suspect contains moisture, saturating it with acetone and letting the acetone dry (you can warm the surface with an electric heat gun or lamp if you are careful) will dissolve water and take it with it when it evaporates. It helps a lot. It is such a good solvent for fats and oils it will remove them from your skin, too if you let it wet your hands for prolonged periods. It also has the insidious ability to take molecules, that would other wise be too big, through semipermeable membranes (like skin). I use it a lot and have for decades. Chemists use it as a rinse for lab ware that needs to be dry and "chemically clean" (a high standard).
Put on some eye protection and some nitrile gloves, wet a clean rag with it and "sponge" the spots with the rag. Keep the rag wet with acetone. Get your target laminate saturated with it. You can tape a rag to a bad spot and keep it wet. It will "draw" the moisture out. It will also dissolve other stuff. Some plastics will dissolve in it. Your watch "crystal". Just keep it off anything you don't plan to remove. Some paints will soften, too.
I have a couple of gallons in my shop beside the alcohol, the xylene and the white kerosene. They are all dangerous chemicals but no more dangerous than gasoline so treat it with the same respect.
Good luck,
Re: bottom
Re fixing your bottom there is a really good guide here CLICKY
I would be VERY cautious about spraying polyester or vinylester gelcoat onto either topsides or decks as a refinish method. It has a VERY poor reputation as far as adhesion is concerned. Basically it does not bond to cured fibreglass. I have seen such a job where the applied gelcoat was coming off in sheets JUST weeks after the job was done [ and paid for ]
Re: bottom
Thanx, so no gelcoat under the waterline. And best not to start grinding non-damaged areas.
Barriercoat is normally only used under water right ?
I also want to redo the above water parts, (topsides, deck, cockpit) either with paint or with gelcoat. Above water, there is damage, but its rather minimal, a few tiny scratches that i will fill. Now i was thinking the gelcoat is both cheaper (30$ vs 100$ a galon) and stronger than paint and intended to apply that. Am i right or is gelcoat not a good idea ? I should have a spray gun available for either. I will also be including some antiskid in it. I am not yet entirely sure what that is gonna be. If i find a good product available for a reasonable price ill buy it, else i intent to use the finest sand i can find.

Arsenal are 1/2 chances with GunnersGaming to beat Norwich at Carrow Road this weekend, and The Football Predictor says they have a 76 per cent chance of coming away with all three points.
The Predictor reveals Gunners have won 55 per cent of their last 20 games on the road. The Canaries have have lost 30 per cent of their games at home in the same period, failing to score in 20 per cent of those.
Arsenal have started the season well and come into the game in seventh place, having comprehensively beaten West Ham 3-1 in their last game.
Norwich, on the other hand, have not yet won this season, and find themselves in 19th position in the Premier League.
So where are the goals going to come from?
Well, in their last 20 away games, 44 per cent of the 36 goals scored by Arsenal have been netted by forwards. Midfielders have netted 36 per cent, with defenders contributing 19 per cent.
GunnersGaming make striker Olivier Giroud favourite at 9/2 to bag the opener, while midfielder Santi Cazorla is a 7/1 chance and defender Laurent Koscielny - who has scored 3 away goals in 2012 - can be backed at 24/1.
The Predictor reveals that Norwich's last 20 home games have averaged 3.2 goals, with Arsenal's average over the same amount of away games standing at 2.9 goals.
This suggests that over 2.5 goals is well worth considering at the 3/5 on offer with GunnersGaming.
Arsenal have failed to keep the opposition out in 14 of their last 20 away games, though they did win the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season. A repeat of that scoreline is priced up at 36/5.

We've all seen those Surgeon General warnings on products like cigarettes and random things in California that cause cancer.
They're essential to letting consumers know the risks of products.
With us being on the verge of appointing a new person to that office there have several new suggestions.
Here are a couple:
Surgeon General's Warning: DubStep Is NOT Intended For Use As Music.
Surgeon General's Warning: Cheap Toilet Paper May Cause Massive Blood Loss.
What do you think should receive a Surgeon General Warning?

First,I'll just want confirmation that the ESB does indeed have a taper????
Second, if indeed ESB does have a taper, is there a difinitive measurement of the thickest part (when viewing from the side) at the base near the hinged earcap to the thinnest part up by the rangefinder itself??
I've got some final "tweaks" to do to my MSH/ESB and want this final part taken care of once and for all.
Thanks for any help offered,

Every 7:30 am lift, every 300 yard sprint, every timed Delaware run, every dreaded "get on the line" or "around the nets," every 8 hour bus ride, every defensive shuttle, every full field drill that seemed came down to a 60-minute game on Sunday afternoon.
For the fourth consecutive year in a row your Canisius College women's lacrosse team snatched the MAAC Championship title. Our nine-month campaign to become the first team in MAAC Women's Lacrosse history to win the title 4 years in a row and the second in Canisius history was a success.
Most of us are still speechless, waiting for the reality of the 4-peat to settle in. Playing MAAC's at home this year was incredible; the support we received from our fellow athletes and the entire Canisius community was unreal and truly appreciated. The chants the volley and swim Griffs came up with were something special to say the least and the support meant everything.
In addition to current Griffs coming out and supporting, a huge amount of CCWLAX alumni came out to help us clinch the 4-peat. The alumni are a big part of our program's success and it felt good to not only win for ourselves, but for them too.
We were also able to convince coach Teeter into posing in front of the championship poster instead of his typical spot behind the team. With his location in place, Greco and Bull hoisted the water jug up from behind the poster and successfully soaked coach from head to toe. While the parents and our biggest ally in the operation, coach's wife Jen, laughed and applauded our efforts.
This weekend we were able to ditch the practice gear for the annual MAAC Banquet and Senior Banquet, two events that we start planning our attire to several weeks in advance. The coaching staff barley recognizes us without our ponytails and turfs.
The MAAC banquet is an opportunity to come together with the three other teams in the tournament while recognizing outstanding individual and team accomplishments on the field and in the classroom. We are proud to have several members make the MAAC All-Academic team and sweep the three major players of the year awards.
Our Senior Banquet is an intimate and special part of our program that has become a highlight every year. Every senior is honored and embarrassed by coach before giving a farewell speech. Every year underclassmen are warned that the four years go by way too quickly, a reality my fellow sophomores and I are starting to believe in and experience for ourselves.
Sunday evening we all meet in the video room to enjoy celebratory cake and watch the selection show for the NCAA tournament! After a series of drumrolls our opponent was released and we will be traveling to my home state of Maryland to play Penn in the first round at the University of Maryland. Although everyone is excited for the NCAA appearance I think I am one of few excited to make the approximately 8 hour bus trip, my fellow MD native Ari is also very excited to be back on the home turf (us Marylanders have an unexplainable amount of state pride).
The NCAA appearance will give us an opportunity to reach our ultimate goal this season and advance for the first time in the NCAA Tournament. For the past two years we have just missed the second round, last year losing by one to Penn State and the year before that to UMass. It will give us the chance to break the barrier that has held us from making the top-20. We are beyond excited for this weekend; personally, I wasn't able to sleep last night in anticipation, which explains my writing at 5am (normally I don't turn in the Chronicle for the week until 11 p.m., but I think this one will be emailed by 8 a.m.).
We will leave Thursday for our road trip to the University of Maryland, giving us just three days to reschedule our exams and finish up the semester…wish us luck! Late nights in the library and Tim's ice coffee here we come!
Just keep Re'laxin,
Alexis Roskovich
Huge shout out to the Tailgate Diva and all the parents for really stepping up their Tailgating game this weekend! We hope to see you at the University of Maryland this Friday where we will play Penn in the first round of the NCAA at 4 p.m.

Hey all,
Can anyone machine a set of toe darts for me?
Printable View
Hey all,
Can anyone machine a set of toe darts for me?
I assume you are referring to the the toe spikes on the end of the shoes, correct? If you have a drill press, these are easy to make out of aluminum.
PM me for details, if you like.
I have a drill press ! PM me too
What don`t you have?
hey, its a northside thing...we have EVERYthing !
PM's have been sent :thumbsup
kevin- I meant for forced trekker to PM me, I have NOTHING ! But I would like to know how it was done....can you forward me his pm ?
OK,I'm intrigued by the whole toe dart / drill press thing now:lol I have a drill press and a set of inaccurate darts and would like to make a new accurate set. Can someone share the info. or PM me too
Hey GM, I have not yet received a PM from Forced Trekker, but I will be sure to let you know once I have ;)
I made mine with a drill press, I cut a piece of aluminum rod and put it in the press. Then while its running I used a large flat file to grind it. Use some wd-40 or equivelent to keep the file from clogging up with aluminum. When you get the point you want stop:) I think I also use some sandpaper or something to get any rogh spots off to.
Then when you are done with the tip, what I did was cut the other end on an angle to mount to my toe plate. I then pop riveted them on from the inside so you wouldn't see how they are attached. They feel like they are welded on.
Hope that helps some
that's ingenious !! want to make me a set ? :)
how did you do the plate ? Did you just cut it and bend as needed ? Then screw it in right ? Can you post more pics of your boots ?
really fantastic job ruffkin !
Those are very nice toe spikes!!!!!! how much did it cost to make?
Suuweeeet!! I great idea.....why didn't I think of this :thumbup My 478th "upgrade" to my still unfinished ESB Fett :lol
Thanks for sharing
Chuck, that is almost exactly the same way I made mine.;)
1st I cut a piece of 3/8" aluminum rod off in 3" increments to give you enough room to chuck it tight in the drill.
2nd I mark a line on the piece about 1/2" for the bottom on each piece so you know where to stop "maching" the tip off.
I start with a reall rough crosscut file in the beginning to get the most material off first.
Next, I move to a finer cutting file to smooth it up.
Lastly, I use a piece of steel wool to really clean up the edge.
I used JB Weld to attach my tips to the toe plate. The pop rivet idea sounds good too. If you have the tools, I would suggest taping a hole in the tips for a bolt and attaching them that way.
Here is a pic of my boots:
this is a stupid non metal worker question...how did you cut the metal rod into an angle ? by hand or machine ?
Ya ... what he said !!!!! I just used these tips and cut some 3/8" aluminum rod down and spun them on the drill press with a file and some fine sand paper and I think they look great .I'll post some pics later . Now how do we cut those angles? Dremel ?..... hacksaw ?.....
Mike :fettrotj
Well here they are so far ..
Mike :fettrotj
great job fettism ! you want to make me a set ? ?:)
O K progress report . I have the darts ( how do I cut them on an angle ? ) I have the bracket/bar . How to attach the darts? I could drill a hole down the center of the dart and thread/tap it . I have small machine screws and LocTite to secure them . Problem ...screw head wont sit flush .... unless ( just thinking out loud ) i grind off the offending screw head at the back to make it flush . What do you guys think ? Oh ... and how to drill the hole through the bracket/bar ? It also has to be on an angle . What is the best way to attach this bracket once it is done ? Oh just in case you're wondering the bar isnt finished and it needs to be cut off at the sides .HELP !!!
Mike :fettrotj
:facepalm i crushed myn walking to a cut off tree... that was funest for em, fixed em, and during a performance one of teh screws sprang lose, so that finished of teh right side toe spikes, i crushed the left foot ones when i had to walk on stage, where they got under neath my foot sole...
never made a new set.
though i must say, urs looks alot stronger then myn.:cheers
Ok, cutting the angle is pretty easy. I just held one under shoe, eyeballed the angle I wanted to cut them at, marked it, and then cut it with a hack saw. If you don't have a hack saw, a dremel should work too.
For those that have missed my other posts...I make toe darts/boot spikes/shin denters:lol for your CA boots!
toe darts are not soft parts/belts... please post in the correct section

What a weekend of football for my English and American teams.
The Arsenal returned to normal service by delivering a solid result on Saturday morning, Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M (my alma mater) won the Heisman Trophy -- which goes to the nation's best college football player -- and the New York Giants defeated the New Orleans Saints.
The latter two were icing on the cake - Johnny Manziel's Heisman win was the first by a freshman. He's a true specialist at the quarterback position who completely dominated the season by passing and running past all defenses in his path. The New York Giants finally figured out how to stop the Saints by delivering a strong performance on both sides of the field. Kick-return specialist David Wilson set-up scores for the Giants and ran for two touchdowns too boot. Another true specialist that changed the game.
I'll come back to this in a minute.
But first, back to proper football. For most Arsenal supporters on the West Coast, our moods are defined by 9am Saturday morning. And as I've written before, it's not easy to go through the day with a loss, or points dropped.
The game against West Brom provided a couple of big highlights. One requires more discussion than others, but overall it was a deserved three points. We created many chances that resulted in many missed opportunities. It feels a bit like test anxiety, as these are professionals that seem to have difficulty with the final ball in-game. But the important takeaway -- that we created opportunities -- showed that we were pressing intelligently, not overplaying the push forward by allowing the counter.
I have no complaints about the strategy, but as many have written, I wonder if in the long run this will hamper our scoring from play. It's a bit unlike the modern Arsenal, but if it delivers results, how can one complain?
Coming from the spot, the goals themselves were uneventful, but I think the one thing to note that Arteta is our penalty-specialist. Without question. His demeanor, patience and maturity combine for the exact formula that you want in a penalty taker. Both were coolly taken, finished right down the middle. It was not only gutsy, but it showed confidence.
A true specialist.
Just as David Wilson of Giants is the kick-off specialist who can change a game on one return, Arteta is our penalty specialist at the spot who changes games for The Arsenal. And he did that on Saturday.

All the big ducks were flyin high. That was ok by me, I keep the shovelers whole and freeze them to use during the year dog training.

We're getting down to the nitty gritty in the Inside Lacrosse 2010 Laxie voting. Today, we offer the resumes of our top candidates for DI Player of the Year. It was a great season for upstarts in general, be they players who emerged from the word works or teams like Notre Dame and Duke who finally grabbed the spotlight for themselves.
Make sure to vote today, as the polls will close Friday, Oct. 1 at Midnight.
Position: Midfield
Final Stats: 51 Goals, 26 Assists, 77 Points, .443 Shot Percentage, 69 Groundballs
Accolades: First-Team All-America, USILA Enners Award for Most Outstanding Division I Player, Tewaaraton Finalist
DI Candidacy
Stony Brook was expected to be a quality team this year, but Crowley's dominant performance took the Seawolves to a 13-4 record and a goal away from beating Virginia and earning a final four appearance. Sharpshooter Jordan McBride, Crowley's teammate and fellow Canadian, received the bulk of media recognition early, but it Crowley earned the spotlight quickly thanks to his two-way ability and groundball motor. One of five finalists for the 2010 Tewaaraton Trophy, Crowley is also among the Laxies Breakthrough Player of the Year nominees.
Position: Defense
Final Stats: 3A, 56 Groundballs, 37 Caused Turnovers
Accolades: USILA Co-Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year, First-Team All-America
DI Candidacy
Virginia's offense is always touted, but there's a reason the Cavaliers were ranked sixth in the nation in defense last year. Clausen's size, sharp stick and aggressive style always put him in a position to mark the opposing team's best man. His senior year was marked with battles with players like Duke's Ned Crotty, UNC's Billy Bitter, Maryland Ryan Young and he more than held his own in those contests. Clausen always made sure the Wahoos defense was ready for the challenge.
Position: Goalie
Stats: 161 Saves, 7.56 Goals Against Average, .605 Save Percentage, 29 Groundballs, 4 Caused Turnovers
Accolades: Championship Weekend Most Outstanding Player, Honorable Mention All-America
DI Candidacy
The cover star of the Oct. 2009 issue of Inside Lacrosse and a nominee for Breakthrough Player of the Year, Rodgers continued to build on his nose-to-the-grindstone reputation with a stellar 2010. Injuries hampered the Long Island native for part of the year, but he put together a spectacular post season run while leading the Fighting Irish to the NCAA Men's DI Championship Game. His 15-save game in the National Championship against Duke, coupled with a 16-save performance against Cornell in the semifinal, earned him the weekend's MOP honor despite being on the losing team. Notre Dame's grind-it-out style of offense would have been impossible to implement without Rodgers in net.
Position: Attack
Stats: 23 Goals, 63 Assists, 86 Points, .258 Shooting Percentage, 36 Groundballs

DI Candidacy
Crotty had a spectacular year in lacrosse in general, which is why he's up for overall Player of the Year honors as well as Division I Player of the Year. Isolating his work with the Blue Devils, Crotty continued to be the most important man on Duke's offense. He posted 23 goals, but his 63 assists were the key stat this season during the team's run to the title game. Though his Championship Weekend was relatively quiet (4 points over two games), his presence made it hard for teams to shift to Duke's other scoring threats. DI season just part of a monster year for this New Jersey native.
Stats: 29 Goals, 51 Assists, 80 Points, 43 Groundballs
Accolades: USILA Outstanding Attackman of the Year, Ivy League Player of the Year, First-Team All-America
DI Candidacy
The Big Red were expected to take a step back after Max Seibald graduated following Cornell's 2009 run to the NCAA championship game. Instead, thanks to Pannell's continued development, Cornell thrived in 2010. With Pannell at the helm of the offense, the Big Red finished with a 12-6 record, won the inaugural Ivy League Tournament and earned a Championship Weekend spot for the second consecutive year. Most importantly, Pannell made his teammates better, helpings players like Chris Richie (60 Points) and Steve Mock (23 Points) understand their role in the offense.

The iPhone 5S compromises slightly on image quality when it takes burst shots so quickly, but not as much as we feared. It also recommends the best shots in the series so you don't have to sort through them all.
"Will going from 32 to 64-bit benefit users? Well 64-bit will help the 3D graphical capabilities of the iPhone 5S. It's also required for high security apps. And Apple will need that for a unique new feature on the iPhone 5S, the fingerprint scanner."
Errr... that is simply not true. The move to 64 bit does not affect the 3D rendering pipeline in any meaningful way, and it certainly doesn't magically provide anything for high security apps.
64 bit is great for the desktop for memory and cpu intensive activities such as rendering and editing video. The fraction of a second better performance on usual phone applications is meaningless for iPhone 5s. The fingerprint scanner is just a distraction for being the same phone as last year. There is no innovation, no bigger screen, no additional button for quick instant camera function, list could go but Apple have lost new ideas.
I wonder how many people are like me and don't even bother with a lock screen at all, making the fingerprint sensor worthless. The screen is still dinky by today's standards which probably will cause people to jump to the Android wagon.
Who gives a damn about how big the screen is?! I can't believe big screens are still a thing! IT'S A PHONE NOT A TABLET! Call me old-fashioned, but I'm one of those people that actually wants my phone to fit in my pocket... much less, my hand! I mean what do you people do on your phones?! Watch a movie?! Um... hello! It's called A TV! Yeah we still have those! If you want a bigger screen get a tablet! The iPhone was built to be extremely efficient while also being EASY TO USE! That includes portability- fitting it into your pocket- and manageability- fitting it into your hand! I'm sorry, but when I have to call someone, I don't want to have to hold a tablet up to my face, so to speak. I mean what's next people?! The brick?!
What innovation does any other phone or Company do? All Samsung does is create really big screens. If Apple every fell to the same level as other Companies and created a 7" phone screens then everyone would love them. Don't bad mouth a company,because they feel differently on whats a good screen size.
LOL, so you call the following ideas "new" innovation?
Bigger screen
Extra button, for quick camera use.
What a joke.
Do you not understand how Apple produces phones? Every 2 years they give us a new design or model, however every opposite year they just update the current model. Quit bitching, because you didn't get what you want even though everyone knew the (s) phones don't change design, just internal mostly.
If Apple gave new design every year they would of been out of the phone business 2 years ago. The way they operate is how they have to operate, when they don;t produce 50 different models of phones like Andriod.
With all this discussion on wether or not Apple is done innovating, here is my take. I think the race between Apple and its competitors is a classic example of the Tortoise and the Hare (Apple being the Tortoise). I think that Apple knows that it is impossible to create astoundingly new and innovative products each year. So instead of throwing everything that it has into every new product, Apple is playing it safe, while it is actually innovating behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the Hare (Samsung, mainly), is running the race as fast as possible, delivering every new technology it creates, wether it is ready or not. Eventually, this will come to an end. In terms of the update from the S3 to the S4, this was view as a largely incremental update to the flagship Galaxy line. I believe that the smartphone market has grown and innovated so rapidly, that it would be in both company's interests to stop trying to one-up the competition, but instead focus on how they will be able to innovate for years to come. This is something I believe Apple figured out a couple years ago, and something Samsung is figuring out now. It will be interesting to see the smartphone market two or three years from now.
Those who do not lock their phone are high stake gamblers! Given the amount of personal data that is stored on a typical smartphone and the increasing threat from identity fraud, not taking security seriously is simply insane.
The addition of an effective finger print scanner in the new iPhone is a welcome addition, especially for those who hate lock screen PINs, and will hopefully encourage those who currently fail to secure their device to do so.
The screen size may still be small by comparison to some other devices but will equally serve many, who prefer a more manageable size phone, very well. I have GN2 and although it is sometimes nice to have the big screen I often wish I had a smaller lump to carry around!
Many Android users in fact pick up the smaller versions of the their large screen counterparts, thus the Samsung mini range. So I doubt this will cause an increase flocking to Android.
Hmm, A no-longer-acceptable paltry 4 in. 326 ppi screen is left in the competitions' pixel dust.. I phone s boasting the same screen as their now cheaper variant 5C? Non accessible battery and with nearly the same still poor talk time? (Don't throw those pocketed chargers away ifans!) Still inaccessible batteries and non-expandable memories i.e, no SIM or micro SD card slot? A now paltry 8 megapixel camera and a still primitive IOS 7 widget architecture?! Cmon iphone, if this is your best response to 5 to 6 inch HD front and rear displays and against stratospheric S Pens etc.Android products, then Steve Jobs is spinning a hole through his casket this week. Sorry Steve, (Jeff),seems I too will have to go get me a new Note 3 for the next couple of years.. maybe you'll have caught up by then.
I recently jumped to a Google Edition S4. Everyone seems to thing this is a great phone, but in my experience not so much. I get terrible battery life. This must be something I'm doing wrong since it's really bad, much shorter than my old 4s running the same stuff. In general Android is great, but so is iOs, and the Apple software is more polished and simply quicker, or more responsive, without lags. Another shocker for me is the difficulty of controlling the phone through the headset. I'm sure there is some work around to get the iphone functionality (controlling music, answering the phone, etc.) but it's not smooth and simple out of the box. Finally there is the Samsung screen, which to my mind has terrible color balance. Lots of great things about the Samsung, but also some ragged edges.
So my question is; since you don't like the battery life, you don't like the lag, you don't particularly like the screen, and you say that iOS is equally as good of an OS, what do you like more about your S4 than your 4S? (By the way I just now noticed the similarity in phone names...) I'm not saying that you shouldn't like android, I just don't see why you made the switch.
Bitching is a user prerogative. A bigger screen? how do you differentiate what screen size makes a phone not a phone? The iPhone 5s has the same screen as last years model, it's a good size but adding another 0.5 inch would have made the 5s closer to its competition. I have a samsung S4 and and an iPhone and I find myself using the S4 when browsing or using apps for photos or video because it has a bigger screen. Any screen bigger than the S4 is too difficult to carry and in my opinion hence not a phone.
Not everyone likes the gigantic screens on android phones, personally I strongly dislike those large phones, I am sure that I am not alone. There are phones and tablets. Those 5 inch phones are far too big for a phone, and too small to be proper tablets. Also, why do one need those 1080p screens on phones. I have never looked at my 55inch samsung series 9 tv and went I need more pixels! All a 1080p screen would do would be draining battery life quicker. Personally, I would have like apple to put a 720p screen on the iphone just so that it would be a standard resolution rather than the weird one they have now.
Also the build quality of those android phones are just so poor, they just feel so plasticy and cheap, it certainly does not match its price tag (exceptions to the asus padfone infinity and the HTC one). I try to jumped to the android by buying a galaxy s3 to replace my iPhone 4. I expected the samsung to be lightening fast with its quad core processor, but it simply does't feel that. Battery does not match at all with the ads, I still need to charge it everyday after heavy use just like my old iphone.
I am happy with how the iPhone is progressing. Not sure why people has so much expectation with apple, they are being deigned by human beings, not miracle maker. Same goes with samsung. The eye control with their phones are fantastic applications of the technology, but it is not new technology. My 20+ year old canon eos 5 uses a cam to track my eye so that the camera would focus on the subject I looked at. That was back in 1992!
I do like the iphone5 and there is a good chance that it would be getting one, it would replace my iphone 4 which I still use today. In the end, if you feel that apple hasn't done enough, just wait a year and something new would come out!
Bigger is not always better while the s4's screen isn't too big yet it is getting there and I prefer the smaller 5s screen and really I don't notice much if any difference in screen quality between the two in real life and with the processor I don't care how many cores or ram space there is ios has always been snappier and smoother than android on any device I've tried.
i have large fingers and i have survived previously without large screens. i think apple keyboard is better than the rest but with apps like swiftkey which improves the typing experience on my s3 helps. I find it hard to read and type on browsers often because half the keyboard steals half the screen. If a girl mate with small hands and is tech stupid i would say go for the iphone but otherwise i think its stupid to spend so much when htc has caught up on build quality.
Boring old Apple . I use to love the apple phones but I opened my eyes and brought a.Note 2 and 12 months on Its been a true friend . I love the big screen expandable memory the long battery life have bought 2 more batteries and so cheap, plus not being tired to Apple itunes and so much more. Going to upgrade to the Note 3.
Apple shows little innovation considering the money they make . Open your eyes silly fan boys.
As a developer, I'm excited about the upgraded processor. This progress in combination with improved JavaScript rendering and better mobile web frameworks will eventually lead to the downfall of native apps so we can finally build and maintain one responsive mobile web app instead of 3 to 5 native apps. Another couple years of these improvements and we're there. And when that day comes, apps will be released at an astounding pace.
The problem for me, Barry, is that I'm so used to the way Apple's software works that while I changed over to Samsung Gallery S4 four months ago, I'm still not used to it. The extra software tricks were fun but I don't use them on a daily basis. If I ever change back, what I would miss is the amazing, huge, beautiful screen! I read all my kindle books on the S4 and almost never on the iPad. Samsung is a great company, especially for televisions.
For once a Comment thread that actually has some balanced and decent views from Apple and Android Fans. Refreshing to see this and not just a massive slagging match. Personally I'm an Apple fan but have had an Android phone and loved it. For me there is something special about using an Apple product. My wife on the other hand loves her Samsung GS3 and doesn't want an Apple phone. Isn't it nice to just have a choice?
I'm planning on getting the 5s because I've had my 4s for 2 years now. I'll admit I'm not terrible excited about the 5s. If they let me have the same hardware and software in the 4s size I would be thrilled. I'm not updating my ipad 4 to IOS7 either. I hate and despise the look. If I have a change of heart with the 5s maybe I will, but now the design looks like cheap Android and Microsoft - - a fisher price design. Jony Ive is an idiot.
I've moved to a Lumia 920 and the difference form the iphone to the Lumia is amazing. My old iphone 4 was incredible better. It simply worked,. The Lumia I can't even hold it...it has buttons everywhere and I'm always pressing one of the without wanting. It drives me completely crazy. After two months of use I really regret having spent money on ii. My old iphone 4 was miles away! Iphone is a phone!
I disagree. Screen size makes a difference in what you can see, both in true resolution and inclusiveness. A larger screen wins hands down. Big screens is NOT what Samsung specializes in, they also provide excellent and 'true' connectivity...ie true USB without the proprietary bs that Apple insists upon. You can connect whatever you like to a Samsung - try that with Apple (especially as they say "No" you cannot).
Obsolescence is a true issue with Apple. Without the 'innovation' others are claiming for them, obsolescence is a real problem. Devices should last years, not discarded after such a short cycle with a stagnant OS design.
And the absurd fanboy drivel about 'plastic' being 'cheap' and inferior is so typical of creating arguments out of nothing. The iPhone 5C is plastic (call it polycarbonate or whatever you like) but the argument that Apple makes for it APPLIES to their competitors' products - always have. Double standards and emotional bias typically rule the commentaries, not objective observation.
I've used iOS devices and currently use the Note 2. I use it for the 'features' it offers - rarely as a 'phone.' Seriously, stop comparing it to a phone and arguing it's 'too big.' Like the Dell Streak 7 this 'Phablet' (whatever) HAS a phone feature - but the real purpose of this device is its multitasking ability and horsepower. Connect the Note 2 (now 3) to an HD monitor, (Apple) bluetooth mouse and keyboard (lol) and run it like a PC. You can! You can even run multiple videos, email, SMS, Skype, and background music ALL AT THE SAME TIME. That is horsepower.
The iPhone 5s boasts an A7 64-bit processor and claims it is twice as fast and allows security and video enhancement. SMH. Because of Apple's locked environment and inaccessible API's you don't see the 'lack of horsepower' under it's shell, despite newer processors. You'll never get an iPhone to run like a computer until Apple gets off it's high horse and considers real innovation and user-freedoms as paramount to designing feature rich and powerful devices worthy of business environments (now somewhat limited)
Clicking photos, playing music, navigating maps and uploading personal data is a typical 'smartphone'. Being able to run multiple applications with freedom to connect to whatever you like AND see it in a respectable window frame (to name a few) is user empowerment - a true 'smart' device.
I don't disagree with a lot of this, but you can't seriously say any other phone company is more innovated then Apple. A bigger screen is not innovated any in shape or form. A camera with more mp is not innovation now days, maybe 10 years ago.
So many ppl expect the world out of every iphone, but they can't do everything at once, or what are they gonna do next year?
I think the iphone 5c is crap and would never buy it. And Apple is very strick when it comes to what they allow you to do. How ever I jail break as soon as possible, so that doesn't affect me very much.
True Apple fans understand how Apple works and deals with it because of the quality of phones they put out. Apple has done the same phones practice for 5 years, not sure why ppl are still expecting different. I promise a bigger screen will come next year, I think it will be 4.7 at the biggest, I couldn't imagine anything bigger:
I initially thought that about IOS7,I thought im not updating my ipad no way! but i had a go with my iphone 4s-Three days later ive now updated my ipad! Its actually brilliant with so many new features! Actually feels like ive got a new phone.
Not turning my head in any way. It's just another under-delivering Apple product with just enough features missing so when they make the iPhone 6 they can sell you some more stuff than android and samsung already have...
I don't want big screens on a mobile. 4 inches is plenty big enough. if I want to watch a film on a trainn than every phone will be a compromise anyway, so don't see why you would want to sacrifice portability for trying to get a phone to deliver a cinema experience for something for which it is not inherently designed, when a tablet will be do the job better and doesn't require always being instantly accessible like a phone.

"Unfortunately, the best work in many companies often happens despite our processes and structures, rather than because of them. Individuals and teams today are ready to collaborate, multitask and cocreate—and yet, every week, businesses waste 5.3 hours per employee because of inefficient processes. A full two-thirds of employees believe there are colleagues who can help them do their jobs better, but they don't know how to find them—and 42% of people say they are forced to make decisions with the wrong information at least once a week. It's no wonder that 91% of CEOs surveyed say they need to restructure the way their organizations work.To work smarter, we'll need smarter organizations—enhancing and benefiting from their people's expertise, enterprise and creativity, rather than inhibiting them. Transforming the collaborative infrastructure and processes of our places of work will enable people to take advantage of the full scope of an instrumented, interconnected and intelligent planet.

Garland Trees
- Cover cone with paper. Trace and cut pattern from wrapping paper. Use white craft glue and craft pins to attach paper around cone. Fold down excess at top and glue in place. Option: For a more finished look, punch out one 1" circle from remaining paper and glue to top of cone.
- Add garland. Attach end of ribbon & sequin garland to top of cone with pins. Wind around cone to the bottom, pinning as you go to cover cone. Cut excess from end, being sure to tie off cut ends. Glue top and bottom ends securely with hot-melt glue.
- Fill in spaces. To fill in any blank spaces on cone, pin and glue on additional large sequins or garlands.
- Finish. Use hot-melt glue to attach a stack of three beads to top of cone.
Sequin Tree
- Preparation. Use serrated knife to cut 4" craft foam ball in half. Use pattern to cut out green fabric. Glue in place to cover one half. Set aside other half for a future project. Option: Paint one half-ball with green acrylic craft paint. Paint dowel with red acrylic craft paint. Set aside base and dowel to dry.
- Cover cone with fabric. Use pattern to cut out fabric of your choice. Leaving about 1/2" at top, wrap fabric around 9" craft foam cone and attach with white craft glue and craft pins. Fold, glue, and pin fabric to cover top of cone. Glue excess fabric to bottom of cone. For bottom, cut out a 3 1/2" circle of fabric. Fold in half and cut small hole in center of folded edge for dowel. Unfold fabric and glue to bottom of cone.
- Add base. Use hot glue to glue dowel into bottom of cone and center of base, leaving a 2 1/2" piece showing between pieces.
- Finish. Use straight pins to attach sequins as you like. Layer smaller sequins on top of larger sized sequins for interest.

I am sure many of you saw the kinduv biased piece last evening on CBS news about the robos. Even though I am not in favour of Robos (at least for me I do not/will not use one), I think the piece was not too convincing to those of us that are in the know, and was slanted to the animal rights folks. I mean....is a 5% increase in the total tajke when using a robo a big deal - especially when not all hunters use them - and what ever happened to adjusting the limits?
How about that skyblasting shot at the end from the blind - that sure didn't do us any good!!

'Peca twice had shorthanded breakaways but could not convert. One was stopped by Biron after Peca was pulled down by defenseman Alexei Zhitnik.

Okay, this is my reason why and a sort of apology for not posting frequently...
We're moving house in Tucson, from our central neighborhood near the Univ. of Arizona to the west side of town, near the Tucson mountains. It has a nice view of the city and mountains, with little critters running around (chipmunks, bunnies, quail and scorpions). It's not too far out, only about 15 minutes in the other direction but in a place that isn't significantly urbanized yet.
Our house finally finished building after 2 years of work, only delayed by about 150% in time (15 months). Thank goodness for fixed price contracts.
The building delay, although they would not admit it, is by my guess, probably from haphazard project management. I had at least three builders/supervisors over that time, due to changes in the organization, the acquisition of our builder by Lennar Homes nationally, and changing building codes.
Mostly we lost a lot of time because the first project manager just didn't keep up with changing regulations by the city (resulting in 6 months in delay to catalog saguaro cactus). Then they didn't quite plan how to create a building pad (because of hillside development) appropriately. Finally, there was a nation-wide backlog in available concrete and building materials (another 2-3 months. Luckily for him, the builder/PM got promoted.
Even in the beginning, it seemed like the builder just did not have enough base support. E.g., they have a lot but limited set of options even for a semi-custom home, but they never really put much of the info about the options into their option planning & pricing software. This is just raw data input ($10/hr at worst) that could have saved them quite a bit of time researching.
When you consider that they were trying to do semi-custom homes alongside their regular subdivision homes (with more limited choices), it seemed more like an afterthought than proper planning.
But I'm beginning to understand why large homebuilders these days prefer to do subdivisions with limited options/ modifications, and why there are so many of these subdivisions around. A friend calls them unimaginative "pink ghettos".
I guess sacrificing some uniqueness for the sake of getting a home built quickly might have been a good idea.

moving on up to the west side
different views of the changing Web
I was talking to Bobby Woolf earlier today regarding the different generations of what we all call the Web. Bobby blogged on Web 2.0, the current conversation on a move from a focus on content to one around APIs. There are blog sites, conferences and other activities all around how services are present the great idea of how to work with the Web.
Bobby describes three generations:
I've tested the Web since 1990, starting with a very early
text-based browser that Berners-Lee first released that predated even Lynx.

The benefit of the services Web is that it ties applications in more obvious and neutral ways that specific programming APIs, scripting languages and plug-ins. More significantly as Bobby indicated it brings a widely considered design pattern of the Model-View-Controller (the Observor-Observable pattern to be accurate); the separation of a presentation element from a communicating element and the execution elements of the design. Most programmers are familar with it and its benefits. The news now is that business people are beginning to take notice of its benefits too.

Strong ties keep communites going for decades
Our martial arts school, the Kodenkan of Tucson is hosting the Ohana celebration this weekend. Over 600 Students and students of students of the late Prof. Okazaki who created Danzan-ryu Jiujitsu are gathering to celebrate his birthday.
Okazaki was an innovator of his time in the 1930s and 1940s, living in Hawaii. He was a practitioner of traditional Japanese homeopathic medicine but also started a martial arts school on the side and become one of the first Japanese to teach traditional martial arts to foreignors and to women. It was quite a differentiating at the time.
His innovation paid off. Today some his students are in their late 70s and 80s and have taken his teachings to form schools of their own across the US.
With any martial arts, the regular weekly practice helps to build strong ties between teachers and students. Once you get advanced enough, it is in the practice amongst equals that brings people together. The advanced (black belt) ranks operate more like an academy, learning from each other while in practice.
While the teacher-student element still exists (it's still a school), the cross-training between peers is what helps to energize and develop the study.
The same goes for pretty much most communities. You learn the basics--it can take years--and advance enough to consider new perspectives and situations, or help others with issues and problems they are facing.
Carry this on for a few years successfully and it will last a decade. Carry it on for a decade or two, and it will last for generations. You just have to carry on the philosophy of sharing and learning.

getting serious about "games" at the Serious Games Summit
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  virtual_environments 1,776 Views
I've always considered multiplayer games as something beyond pure entertainment. My early experiences with text-based MUDs (precursors to highly graphical MMORPGs of today) showed that players spent significant amounts of time interacting with other players rather than just play the actual game itself.
While the moving-between-rooms-killing-hapless-virtual-beasts metaphor still remains, the more interesting applications of these virtual environments are starting to be appreciated at a level beyond entertainment for kids.
Note the statistic per The Economist, only 30% of gamers are under 18. The majority of ~40% are 18-49 and 19% are over 50. Most blockbuster games of today are targeted for the young and middle age adults.
I should mention that the Serious Games Summit coming up on Oct 31-Nov 1 in Washington DC will be discussing games as they pertain to Education, Government, Health, Corporate, Science and of course Military environments. The lessons to learn lie in Instructional theory and practice, Simulation, Contests, Public Affairs, Diplomacy, and marketing.

Warcraft can ruin our global economy!
rawn 100000R0P5 1,407 Views
A while ago, I was talking to a number of World of Warcraft players and describing how the virtual gold/money of their MMORPG relates to real dollars.
adland had a posting directly to this effect pointing to the tracking that the GameUSD site performs on this US Dollar to game economy exchange rates.
Because virtual economies in these games do not have limitations or a balancing relationship to its money supply, combined with the fact that people are willing to spend real cash to purchase virtual items for games, there is an inferred exchange rate that is destabilizing.
The running joke is that given enough time and players, World of Warcraft, Everquest II, or any of the leading games can actually have a severe impact on real world currencies.
Time for me to really put more work into my medieval trade empire game. :)

Google going developer
rawn 100000R0P5 1,385 Views
CNet has a story on Google jumping into the developer business. Actually, the gist of the story is the same for most companies that have tools: Google is expanding and publishing its APIs for developing with its tools. This is no different than Amazon's Web services APIs or the eBay SDK, or any number of other company's with software APIs
However, Google is on the spotlight right now, primarily pitched against MS as their competition (to play up the err... Goliath vs Goliath story I guess). It's combination of service offerings from different areas (Sidebar, Google Talk, etc.) are now starting to come together into something more cohesive. I wonder what Yahoo thinks of that (see Yahoo Groups).

Getting to Ground Truth
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  community unstructured_knowledge 2,169 Views
The U.S. Army has a useful phrase: Ground Truth, the truth of a matter as it actually exists on the "ground". It's also called by a number of other terms such as the "real stuff from the trenches", "where the rubber meets the road", etc.; pick a cliche. I found this out in Don Cohen and Laurence Prusak's excellent book In Good Company: How Social Capital makes Organizations Work.
The ground truth indicates that the actual matter of a deployment may be different or call for actions other than prescribed procedures, pre-planned processes, etc. In reality, this is quite common in software development and deployment too.
More significantly, understanding or learning the ground truth comes from experience and direct participation. This understanding varies depending upon the specific situation but can be something that occurs again and again for others.
This kind of knowledge really lies in the hands of those on the ground themselves. In many cases, the knowledge itself is not easily describable in a simple, generic repeatable manner but requires a lot of qualification.
To paraphrase Fox Mulder: the ground truth is out there.
The only practical way to get to it is to help people to communicate and participate in discussion. And that is just what we want to aim for in developerWorks Community.

Was Henry Ford's assembly line just plain wrong?
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  trust_models 2,186 Views
In this case, I'm talking about the idea that people can be arranged into a series of steps in a process, in machine-like order, repeating the same job over and over again without complaint. This is the basis of modern manufacturing, and in fact one of the common thoughts of socialism: people should be assigned to the jobs they are best at and all contribute to the greater operation/good.
What this misses entirely is the fact of human nature. People often want to find easier ways in the system, or even want to share the ideas they discover with others. Whether a mechanical or a bureaucratic process, many of us just want to get things done. Sometimes circumventing the system is a bad idea while other times it leads to new advantages. In either case, it is still innovative thinking.
We generally want input from others when we have innovative thoughts. We want their feedback or just share the concept to see if it is useful and viable. If useful, let's face it, some of us just like the glory.
However, this kind of innovative thinking still needs help, encouragement, comparison and critique, if it is to survive. This is where it helps to find other like-minded individuals to discuss the idea with. It could be as simple as a quicker route to work, but we still may wish to share it with others.
Longer term projects or those with wider implications mean that the group that we want to discuss it with needs to survive longer and be accorded the time, tools and means to consider such ideas.
More interestingly, they also need to develop the trust amongst its members to be working to the greater good, rather than for particular individual's benefit.
We should get past the thought that we can't just be cogs within the great machine of industry. Raw process oriented development still requires human interaction and consideration. Gathering into groups to discuss methods and ideas has been with us since ancient times; it's about time we recognized that as formal parts of our jobs. Finally, trust is an underlying lubricant of innovation,

I realize I'm posting two rants in a row here (my last one was on marketing being a dirty word), but this is important! I just read in the WSJ that it's time more CIOs report to the top... my initial reaction was "oh come on, really, are we still on with this old chestnut?" -- the thing is, I couldn't agree more. But here's what gets me -- we were saying this in the '80s. The hope back then was that, as more CEOs stepped up who had grown up with technology, things would change and more CIOs would report into the CEO. Clearly this was pie-in-the-sky optimism ... so what went wrong?
Traditional wisdom (aka analysts) suggests that it's up to the CIO to "earn" a seat at the table by demonstrating leadership, delivering business value from IT, and lots of other hoops to jump through. While my colleagues and I work diligently on research to help CIOs achieve this, I can't help feeling there is an alternative perspective we are missing, and that's what drove me to write this blog post.
Posted by Nigel Fenwick on May 13, 2011
I'm going to date myself here, but in the early 90's when I was working in IT, I created a new role: "IT Marketing and Services." In defining the role, I was quite deliberate about my choice of words -- especially in the use of "marketing." This role was responsible for all customer-facing aspects of IT -- that included IT business relationship managers (yes we had them back in the early 90's), help desk, training, communications (of the PR kind), demand management and planning. I chose the word "marketing" deliberately to reflect the fact that this was a customer-facing responsibility (both internal IT customers and end-customers of the business from a technology perspective).
Twenty years on, and the number of IT professionals who really understand marketing and recognize the importance of marketing as a key component of IT operating strategy has, if anything, declined. Why?
Often when I ask CIOs today about the role of marketing in IT they are overcome with concern about using the term "marketing" in the context of IT. They believe people across the organization will think there is no role for marketing in IT, and that having anyone with a "marketing" title will suggest IT has too much money. Why does this fundamental misunderstanding of marketing perpetuate throughout organizations? So many otherwise knowledgeable executives think marketing is simply advertising or worse "spin." Do "marketing" job titles in IT really suggest that CIOs are trying to "sell" IT to the rest of the business? I wonder if this is a problem for IT or if it is an issue created by the perception of others outside of IT.

PPB Do you know the twist on that Numrich barrel?Looks like a candidate for a 16" 308.Well the rudimentary cleaning rod and a ruler shows maybe 1-10 with 8 grooves(!)you could get vertigo looking down it.
Anyone building one of these should take a look at this page:
It seems that there is some bad ammo out there. After looking at several places for 7.62x25 with no luck I went to an out of the way place I know and he had some. So I picked up some and on the way home remembered reading something about the pink paper wrap. Got home, checked it, and the headstamp is 53 not 52, so it should be ok.
Old thread revival! Hey PBB, did you get my PM?
So is anyone willing to do the neccesary lathe work on either a 16" .30-30 barrel or a ppsh41 barrel for my x25 build? Thanks
afroman, if in a few weeks you stil need lathe work, let me know. I am having a new lathe delivered today. The old one is OLD.
Do you have a chamber reamer for x25? I would prefer to go with the .30-30 barrel so I wont have to deal with any kid of barrel extension like I will if I use the ppsh one.
I remember there being talk of the x25 being the same as the .30 mauser, did anyone find out if this was true? .30 Mauser reamers are easy to find and I wouldnt mind renting one if it'll work.
afroman006, go to http://ammoguide.com/ and use the pull-down menu to select .30 Mauser and 7.62x25 rounds, cartridge diagrams will be displayed.
I'd have done it for you, but I have @#$ %^&* Java problems again. This is with BOTH IE and Firefox on a fresh Java install, enabled in BOTH browsers. Yet, I can't display Java. Last time this happened I had to uninstall & reinstall both browsers. Thanks so much Bill Gates, I love doing grunt work because you don't want to support Java since Sun won the lawsuit.
It wont let me save the cartridge spec charts but here's the links to each of them
.30 mauser
It appears that they are similar, but not exactly the same. Also, the mauser uses a .311 bullet but the x25 uses a .308 bullet. Everything I have read says that the x25 is a .311 bullet. Anyone know for sure or have some loose ammo laying around they can measure? If the x25 does indeed use a .308 bullet that would make life alot easier as far as finding a barrel blank. But I am still out of luck as far as a chamber reamer goes.
My reloading book shows the 30 Mauser is a .309 and the x25 is .308, there is also a note in the x25 section that read "These are the same as 30 Mauser loads".
The mic (a cheap one) shows my Bulgarian x25 is .307 & .308, measured four of them.
I know that .30 Mauser and 7.62 Tok are similar enough that ammo is interchangeable. Maybe chamber for .30 Mauser and don't worry about the small difference? Or just load ".30 Mauser" cartridges to 7.62 Tok levels?

As for chebby lifters and pushrods.... just buy olds.. [/B][/QUOTE]
Not good advice! Just because something fits doesn't mean it's right.
From Cstraub:
Chevy's are all .842". Fords are .875" Olds/Pontiac are .842" also but the oil band is in a different location compared to a Chevy. Now you could use
a Chevy lifter in a Pontiac/Olds as long as the cam was not over .475" lift. Anymore and it will starve the engine for oil. Your safest bet is to buy the retro hydraulic rollers. $600 is not bad, I know first hand how much money it cost to do a short run of these.
|Vista Cruiser
Thanks Sholman,
That makes sense to me. The engine is a 400 sbc with a mild comp cam, 256H, good heads and intake - Trick Flow 23 degree with an RPM Performer and 700 Edlebrock Carb and 1.6:1 aluminum roller rockers.
With the lifters set the way they were, at zero lash, the car ran fine but the valve train always seemed a little noisy. Now that they are adjusted down 7/8 of a turn the valve train is quiet and the car feels more responsive at all RPM ranges.
It is hooked to a 700R4 converted to nonelectric and I don't normally shift it manually so the engine does not get over-revved, it is more of a torque monster.
Thanks for your explanation.
Vista Cruiser,
87442lover got most of the info about the lifter but there is a tad bit more. As the lifter gets raised by the cam lobe the piston in the lifter gets pushed down and will cover the oil hole in the side of the lifter and not allow any more oil to get back out. In essence you now have a solid lifter because the oil will not compress so the push rod then pushes the rocker which opens the valve. By tightening the adjustment up that extra 1/2 turn you will cause the valve to open just a fraction sooner, hence you get that seat of the pants good feeling because the throttle response is RIGHT there RIGHT NOW. The down side is if you over rev the engine like miss a gear then you could "float" the valves which then might give the top of the piston a little kiss. Because the valve stays open when it should be closed.
But to answer your question, no you do not get more lift from the cam grind you just get it's lift working a little sooner.
Chevy engines you can adjust but Cadillac engines are non-adjustable so if they are too tight or too loose then you have to buy different length push rods to get the lifters in the middle of that lifter piston travel. A lot of Fords are like this too. You just torque the rocker and the lifter takes care of itself.
Have Fun
|I can't explain it, but I've experienced the same thing. My '72 Nova with 350 & L82 cam idles smoother & takes off easier from a dead stop with the lifters one full turn down from zero lash, as opposed to 1/4 turn down.
|Vista Cruiser
Thanks for the reply, I was kinda worried about over tightening the valves when I did this. But after the adjustment the car started and idled fine with throttle. Plus, the car seems to run better than ever.
Comp cams recommends 1/2 to 3/4 turns static, Crane recommends 1/2 to one full turn. It obviously is not holding the valves open, but to my orignal question, do I get more lift?
Thanks guys,
So I am just pushing my pushrod down further into my lifter, and the running better is all in my head. Wouldn't be the first time.
Thanks again
Well a standard hyd. lifter has a spring in it to keep the plunger up and a oil galley in the side. The lifter guide has a oil galley in the side as well and when the engine is running oil pressure keeps the plunger up and also lubricates the lifter.
As for chebby lifters and pushrods.... just buy olds..
When doing the static type of adjustment, Its best to back the nut off some to make sure the pushrod and lifter plunger is totally unloaded.
Hydralic lifters have a spring under the plunger to keep it pushed up against the snap ring when not under any load. What Crane and Comp want you to do is to make sure the lifter is on the lowest part of the cam lobe, then slowly rotate the pushrod with your fingers while tightening down the rocker nut. Once you feel the pushrod start to drag, turn the rocker nut to their specs, usually 1/8 to 1/2 turn.
The 7/8 turn you mention sounds pretty scary if it is indeed that far down. The 1/2 turn is to give the lifter some margin of automatic adjustment as things wear. If you tighten them too far, its possible that you will compress the plunger inside the lifter all the way down and the valve will not close completely, resulting in really bad performance and low/no idle vacuum.
The preload, for the most part, does not affect the overall lift of the cam. It just gives the lifter some working room. If you do happen to over rev the engine, the lifters will usually "pump up" ( the oil fills the lifter all the way up including the preload distance) and the valves will float, as in not completely close. This can be a good thing as it will keep the engine from going balistic and making a mess in the street. Also, if you over rev the engine, the springs will probably not be able to keep up and that will limit the rpms too. Most stock lifters and valve springs will "float" around 5 grand, which is pretty high for most stock engines.
If you are building a performance engine and are expecting to rev higher than stock, then you will want to use "anti-pump up" lifters and valve springs that are rated for higher rpm use.
|Vista Cruiser
Hydraulic Lifters
I need some help figuring out exactly how hydraulic lifters work. I know that there is a plunger that the pushrod sets in and that it slides into the lifter when we preload it. But why can we use different amounts of preload? 1/4 to one full turn after zero lash. Does that not affect the overall lift we are getting out of the cam? Or does it just set the depth of the piston into the lifter and that stays constant. In my head, I guess I thought that the lifter pumped up and pushed the cup up in the lifter, but I'm not so sure now.
Yesterday, I readjusted my lifters. Initially, I had adjusted the lifters while the engine was running to 1/2 turn in after they quit making noise. Then I read on the Comp and Crane cams websites how to do a static preload on the lifters while the engine is off. That is what prompted me to redo mine. I found out that even though I had adjusted the lifters 1/2 turn after quiet, that actually in a static situation, they were all adjusted to zero preload. Which means that I had to tighten down the lifters an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn, approximately 7/8 to be on the safe side, to get the required preload. Did I increase the lift I am experiencing or is my pushrod just further down into my lifter?
My car sound different to me at idle and it seems to run better than ever. What do you guys think about this?

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger has hailed the "special" relationship between himself and Thierry Henry - but admits the Club's record goalscorer would have succeeded with or without him.
Henry was the hero once more in Saturday's thrilling late win at Sunderland, coming off the bench to grab the winner in the dying minutes.
The on-loan New York Red Bulls striker is set to feature for the last time in Wednesday's Champions League clash at AC Milan and Wenger is keen for a final swan song from the Club legend.
"He would have done it without me," said the Frenchman. "I think that great players have one great characteristic - they will always surprise you with how far they can go. The motivation inside them is very big and they never have enough.
"Everybody is different. Let's say with Thierry that I made him start in Monaco when he was 17.
"Then I brought him to Arsenal, then he went to Barcelona and then I brought him back to Arsenal so it is a little bit a three-times story, three chapters in the book.
"I think the history we have had together is special because you do not [usually] meet the same player three times.
"For me, first I hope it will be a positive emotion [on Wednesday]. But what is important is that we focus on the night because it is a massive game for us. Let's hope we have positive emotions there."
