I would be a bit worried about the feedback knock correction, especially if it doesn't find it's way back to zero quickly. Fine knock isn't good either. They should both be at zero on a full throttle pull on a smooth surface.
Check out this video that Cobb put together. It will tell you what to look for when logging and what's acceptable and unacceptable. You may need a little more learning time with regular driving. You could give it a few days of regular driving and then do a few more logs at full boost. If you still see the knock correction you will need to get a hold of tuner. I'd call him soon to tell him about the knock you're seeing.
cobbtuning's Channel - YouTube
I don't have a whole lot of experience tuning. I just starting working with a friend on his built E85 EVO. He's been tuning using open source and we did a couple of pulls and he showed me a few things to look for. I only logged my car to make sure nothing was wrong and my logs showed 0's for the whole run in the Fine knock and feedback knock correction.
Here's my log. I hope this helps.
^If you want to send me the log in excel I can run an airboy for ya......
Always fun to compare #'s.
And yeah, you should see no knock correction of any kind. If you are, you're knocking. The amount of correction is really irrellevant, it's pulling timing because you're knocking. There really isn't any variation in the level of knock IMO (aka no knock is more or less severe than another knock, it's all knock aka exploding rather than burning fuel), the ECU just pulls different amount of timing until it figures out exactly how much it needs to pull out.
That's also why you're seeing the values for correction drop after the first log... The car may be able to pull timing out until it doesn't see any, but then it will start to add it back in until it knocks again, then back down, then back up again.... You get the point. It's best to set the timing lower than the knock threshold so the ecu can never put the car back into the range on its own.
Both logs are pretty consistent in showing that the ECU is pulling timing back from 15 when the knock correction comes in. So to me, it looks like too much timing or too much boost. I didn't see boost on your graphs. I'm assuming 21 like you said was your target, and that is a lot of boost. I've seen some tuners make more power with less boost and more timing. You just have to find the sweet spot.
I knew a guy who knew a guy that dropped forged pistons in and got phantom knock, or at least he thought it was. It cost him his built motor and now he's on number two.
You can sign up for a free Google Docs account (if you don't have gmail already) and upload your excel spreadsheet like I did. It's a little easier to read that way.
The next time you log you can reset the monitors to the defaults like was suggested in the video, then add A/F ratio.
You can download virtual dyno and drop your log in there. It's pretty cool and free. It will give you your horsepower reading.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by max, May 1, 2007.
More hype coming from Chicago: Rosenbloom - Chicago Sports - Blogs.
Rosenbloom had us better at every position. I did my pre series comparison, and I came up with us better at every position, but coach. But I picked us in 6, because of the hype. Reality check. Deng, Gordan, and Heinrich are good. But they arent as good as any of the Pistons. And the reality is, not counting Ben, not one of the Bulls would start for the Pistons. And forget start, they'd all be buried on the bench, next to Flip and Delfino, with their own HOF clubs begging for them to get pt (forgive me Darko).
It looks like we are better at every position, including coach, at least judging by the first two games. None of the Bulls have been a factor. Hell, they haven't even had a single player with an adequate production when it mattered. And their coach said - "they owned us on both ends of the court".
Oh, this is funny... The Running of the Bulls, Straight Out of Town
It is pretty funny. For some reason only now the Pistons are being talked about. Previously it was all Bulls how they are younger, hungrier, faster, and more athletic. What do all those people say now?
You know, the more I look at this series the bigger grows the question in my mind - why so much hype for this series? Yes, I know that Ben is in Bulls uniform now, and this was a great rivalry 15 years ago. But what has Chicago done for the past 10 years exept being a bottom dweller in the league? Yes, they have been better last couple of years, so what? Put them in the West and they'd be 6th or 7th seed at best. I think what created this perception is Pistons play. They haven't been going all out throughout the season, just winning enough to get the 1st in the East. We knew they are prone to let downs as we saw in last year's playoffs. And we weren't sure that Flip could get them to put forth an adequate effort, and the defensive game was suspect. So far Pistons have been able to answer all of their critics and that's why, I guess, all talk about them just having a four lane highway to the Finals.
A decent amount of the reason for the hype was how good the Bulls looked against Miami. Most of us in the series preview gave them respect; I picked the Pistons in 7. Of course, those who picked Detroit in 5 were a lot closer on their prediction.
I don't know about hype, but even for my predictions, this Bulls team played pretty well this season and did what they needed to do including closing out MIA on the road. I was apparently under the mistaken assumption that they understood the kind of energy and fire they would need to extend their run this season. So far, they exhibited 2 quarters out of 12 that consisted of the kind of effort they will need to be serious contenders. That, to me, is a pretty unexpected contrast from the way they played this season and in the 1st round.
Here's a question for you. Has this ever happened? A team sweeps through every round of their conference in the playoffs and every team they swept also swept their opponents? Example: Pistons sweep the Magic. Pistons sweep the Bulls who swept Miami. Pistons sweep the Cavs who swept Washington and New Jersey. That would mean that by the transitive property, we would have left the entire conference in broom clean condition. That would be something.
That would leave us with a pretty clean conference...
The only teams I can think of in at least the last 20 years who swept through their conference were the Lakers in '89 and again in '01. I just looked up both of those playoff runs; most or all of the teams they beat in the second and third rounds had won their previous series either 3-1 or 4-1.
In the words of C & C Music Factory and Arsenio Hall, "Things that make you go umm? That would be interesting if your Sweep Scenario takes place.
Except you forgot Toronto.
Still if the Pistons sweep the Bulls and the Cavs sweep the Nets and then the Pistons Sweep the Cavs would be a first as all the teams that the Piston swept, swept their prior opponents (with the exception of the Magic of course. ) It would mean that other that the Nets/Raptors series, a record would be set with the least amount of overall games played in post season for the eastern conference. Which means minimal revenue for NBA, Refs and venues....
It'll be the Pistons revenge for the rule changes.

Dr. Ron Tappy is the G. Albert Shoemaker Professor of Bible and Archaeology. He also serves as the project director and principal investigator of The Zeitah Excavations, an archaeological field project at Tel Zayit, Israel. In addition to completing graduate work at the Jerusalem University-College and the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, Tappy received an MATS degree summa cum laude from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and his AM and Ph.D. (with distinction) from Harvard University. His teaching focuses on the life and literature of the Old Testament period, biblical archaeology, and the history of Israel. Tappy's teaching method examines ways in which the broader cultural context of biblical Israel shaped both the world of the biblical writers and, by extension, their theological outlook. His research and publication interests center on the interrelated nature of the cultural, political, and economic history of Iron Age Israel as well as the various cultural groups with whom Israel interacted. He began excavating at various sites in Israel more than 30 years ago, and his current field research at Tel Zayit involves a full-scale field exploration of a Late Bronze–Iron Age town in the Shephelah ("lowlands") region of biblical Judah. During the 2005 season of excavation, his team discovered an inscription incised in stone of the earliest known, securely datable Hebrew alphabet. (See New York Times, Nov. 9, 2005.) He has written articles on a variety of topics, including subjects in biblical archaeology, ancient Israelite burial customs and beliefs about the afterlife, the 23rd Psalm, and the Ten Commandments. He is a leading authority on the archaeology of Israelite Samaria and has written two books on that subject. Prior to accepting his current position at PTS, Tappy taught at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif., and in the Near Eastern Studies Department at the University of Michigan. He is married to Connie Gundry Tappy and has one daughter, Madeleine Rose Tappy.

im looking at a 30' myself, and it appears to be sound... seems well made
email correction
I included my email address in response but it was incorrect, I had the number 2 where it should have been @ sign, just a typo error.
G26 owner
Hello patbarbeau,
I received a heads up on your enquiry from another recent new owner of a g26. I have made several modifications to my g26, not the least of which was greatly improving the main sheet attachment for safety. I'd be happy to send you a list of thing and pics too if you wish - send me your regular email address, mine is ken2mor-net.on.ca.
Re: OMC 2 stroke. My boat is a 1982 I believe and the engine has never given any problem. I've covered hundreds of miles on St. lawrence and
Lake Ontario. Most important is the mixture to avoid smoke and plug problems; I use ~75:1 in premium gas. The boat is very stable, doesn't bob around like lighter boats and there is lots of head room inside for a 6' person. I'm very happy with mine.

I would be interested in hearing from sailors with G26 experience about upgrades done and things to watch on this boat.
Also, mine is equipped with a 2-stroke 1978 OMC saildrive engine in fairly good condition for its age. I would like to know your thoughts on such motor.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Congrats on the new boat man, I have never personaly sailed a G26, but from all I have heard they sound like a great boat to learn on. Enjoy!
Good luck with your boat
We have sailed our 1973 Grampian 26 for 17 years in the Montreal region.
My main concerns have been possible leakage of water through the chainplates, which come through the deck, to which are attached the shrouds. The chain plates are bolted to blocks inside the hull and are not easy to inspect. I wonder if these blocks can rot leading to failure. It is easy though to chaulk this point on the deck.
If you have the aluminum toe rail water always accumulates on the deck at the low point next to the jib sheet winch boss. This looks a mess. The original design had a wooden toe rail and at this point there was a gap for the water to run off.
The rudder on one G26 we know regularly got saturated and had to be rebuilt. Check it for cracks and remove rudder and store indoors in winter possibly. I have a bronze rudder shaft and bushings. The bushings are now worn causing the rudder to vibrate slightly. These bushings cannot easily be removed. Some G26s have a "nylon" bushings which probably could be replaced.
The teak cabin top hand rails become thin and weak especially if owners like to sand and varnish. I see them often replaced. I broke one. Similarly the companian way teak becomes thin.
I have a couple of soft spots in the cockpit floor.
Be very careful if you unstep the mast for winter. Do not twist the aluminum casting at the foot of the mast. It could break.
The window rubber gaskets perish with time.
None of these points ever gave me any real problems so far. So I would look after your boat and it should do well.
I have an outboard and sail in fresh water. One neighbour (not a G26)with a saildrive sailed to the Bahamas. The foot corroded through so be careful in salt water and ensure you have the proper galvanic protection.
Forgot! CHECK YOUR SEACOCKS!!!!
Grampians came from the factory with gate valves for seacocks. This is a bad thing. Take a look at them if they look like the same valve you use to turn on your garden hose, they need to be replaced with proper ball valved ones (lever handle). Mine were frozen solid (in the open position of course), and would have resulted in bad things would one of the hoses let loose. If you would like, I can send youa write up on how I replaced mine with the correct ones.
Keep us up on what you learn! As far as holding tanks, mine came without one, so I routed it to use raw water (The seacock was already there, indicating that was the original design) for flush and pumps into the tank or over board via macerator pump.
Let me know if you have any questions, and enjoy your vacation!
|Thanks CSM, it is always reassuring after purchasing a first boat to hear from others who owned one similar having good words about it. I will check for sure the holding tank given what you describe! I Have not had much time to spend around the boat in the first two weeks since the purchase but I am starting my vacation in two days and will spend many hours learning all I can about her! Can't wait!
I had a 1974 G26 and it was a great boat. They don't point well to the wind, but are very stable and forgiving. I loved the standing room for a short boat and the big cockpit.
As far as things to watch out for, nothing in particular. Just keep her in tip top shape and you'll have her for a longtime. Some nice additions would be a furler if you don't have one. What kind of holding tank do you have? Mine was aweful, it flushed with the contents of the holding tank....so basically flushing with old piss. It reaked after a few days. Check it out and let me know. I would recommend changing that ASAP.
Good luck, she's a great boat.
Thanks Bermuda, after initiating this thread, I had the occasion to read about the nice work you've been doing on your G26. It looks great! I'll definitely PM you once I have a better understanding of my new boat to get good ideas on upgrades. From what I can tell, the stem piece looks in good condition. Any sign in particular I should be looking for?
I went on the site you suggested and it was a surprise to see the very first picture at the top of this web page. It is exactly the picture I use as my avatar... it is my new boat (named Gromit)... same picture that the previous owner sent to me at the beginning of my discussions with him!

Fresh salsa and guacamole can pose significant food safety risks, according to a new study.
Because they often contain diced raw produce, are often made in large batches and are often poorly refrigerated, fresh salsa and guacamole can be prone to contamination that can cause foodborne illness, according to a study published in the journal Foodborne Pathogens and Disease.
"The safety of salsa and guacamole is increasingly important as these foods gain popularity," according to the study. "Fresh salsa and guacamole require careful preparation and storage."
The study's authors reviewed all reports of food safety outbreaks between 1973 and 2008 involving salsa or guacamole.
They turned up 136 outbreaks in which salsa or guacamole was reported as a possible vehicle. Those outbreaks resulted in 5,658 illnesses.
About 24% of the outbreaks were caused by norovirus and 19% by salmonella. Eighty-four percent of the outbreaks were caused by foods prepared in restaurants or delis. Of those, 19% reported ill workers, and 29% improper storage, as possible causes of the outbreaks.

The climate in the Southern Rhone is extremely warm in the summer, with consistent temperatures in the 90's during July and August. This makes rich, full-bodied, and spicy wines. The soil is similar to that of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, with massive rocks called "galets" dotting the vineyards. The old bush vines of Garrigue are planted on these "galets" and for most of the vineyards, there is not soil present to the eye, just rock.
This property focuses on making wines with minimal manipulation to let the terroir speak through the wines. The old vines of Domaine de la Garrigue were planted in the late 1940's, just after the Germans left the area following the second World War. Before the war, the area was planted primarily to other crops, including sunflowers and tomatoes. However, the Romans were making wine here centuries ago and shipping it hundreds of miles away. Hence, the cuvee name "Cuvee Romaine". View all Domaine La Garrigue Wines
About Cotes du RhoneView a map of Cotes du Rhone wineries
The appellation of Côtes du Rhône encompasses much of the land of the area, not to mention much of the wine – over two-thirds of the wine produced here is of the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation. Wines here need only be from the Côtes de Rhône geographic area (which is fairly large) and consist of one or more of the 22 varieties permitted. Being such a wide classification, it's a surprise and joy that so many of these wines reach such a high quality. While there are areas in the Northern Rhône that meet the classification of Côtes du Rhône, most all of this appellation is in the Southern Rhône. Wines here are based mostly on Grenache, like other Rhône reds, while the whites focus on Marsanne and Roussanne. Viognier is also allowed although typically used in smaller quantities.
Notable FactsThere is one higher level in the Côtes du Rhône called Côtes du Rhône Villages. These wines are from specific village areas that have a few more standards the wine must reach to receive the village label. Some to take note of are Cairanne, Rasteau, Seguret and Beaumes-de-Venise. The good thing about both Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages is that big producers of the smaller appellations are taking the opportunity and freedom offered by this broad appellation and creating wines of very high quality, and lower in price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

So many functions of iOS are concealed within the Settings application, or require extraneous gestures to perform. There are also so many tweaks and applications in the Cydia store that try to make shortcuts in iOS great, but they lack a major feature features. This sounds bizarre, I know, but features are the number one thing that most shortcut tweaks and applications lack in the Cydia store.
Coming to the table to compete with all of those shortcut tweaks and applications is a new premium-designed tweak dubbed Deck by iOS developer SBCoders. Just taking a look at the screenshot above, you see the beauty of and work that has gone into Deck. It reminds you of something you would expect right out of Apple themselves, being sleek and simple to use. Deck will set you back just $1.99 to snag a copy from the ModMyi repository of Cydia.
Deck does more than just offer you toggles like SBSettings or IntelliScreenX can, but it also gives you shortcuts for system actions like composing messages and Tweets, launching Siri or the multitasking App Switcher, respringing and shutting down, or even shortcuts for launching up to six applications of your choice. You can customize not only the applications you want to show in Deck, but you can even customize which system shortcuts will appear.
The composition button brings up an iOS-style popup, which gives you the ability to compose Tweets, e-mails, or text messages. The iPhone-shaped button gives you an iOS-style popup with the ability to respring, reboot, power down, or lock the device (put it to sleep). Throughout Deck is an interface of extremely great built quality and animations that only add the icing to the cake. The icons look fabulous and the implementation is stunning.
The list of things you can do with Deck:
- Respring, reboot, power down, lock the device
- Quick-upload text to Pastie
- Toggle a flashlight
- Launch a music application of your choice (Music, Pandora, Spotify)
- Launch App Switcher, SpotLight, Notification Center, Siri, Camera, Wallpaper settings
- Quick compose text messages, e-mails, Tweets
- Toggle Wi-Fi, airplane mode, location services, Bluetooth, mute, 3G
- Create up to six application shortcuts
Deck is opened with an Activator action, which is customizable from the Settings application after you install it from Cydia. I recommend the slide status bar to the left action because it matches very well with the animation of launching Deck as it swings in from the left side of the screen when you launch it. The full Settings pane for Deck is shown below:
From the Settings pane you can enable and disable Deck at your leisure, choose which interface will appear first when you launch Deck, pick your Activator action for launching Deck, choose which music application on your device will be launched by Deck, and last but not least pick your six actions or applications for the Deck shortcut section.
At the moment, the 3G toggle is a pseudo-toggle that will take you to the Settings application. The reason for this is because SBCoders released Deck early due to high demand and has yet to finish the toggle. The 3G toggle will work like any other toggle as soon as SBCoders releases the next update. Another thing to be aware of is after installing Deck you will need to disable and then re-enable it and then pick a music application for it to work. This is a small glitch, which will be addressed in the next update.
I love Deck. I'm sure anyone else who tries it will too.

e^A (*A is a matrix)
Bappaditya Banerjee writes
>Does anybody have a routine to do e^A where A is atleast a 4 by 4 matrix ?
What about the "standard" procedure of writing A = MLM^-1 where L is the
diagaonal matrix of the eigenvalues of A and M is the matrix of eigenvecors?
Then exp(A) = M exp(L) M^-1, where exp(L) is, of course just the diagonal
matrix with elements that are the exponentials of the eigenvalues. This
reduces the problem to the "standard" one of finding eigenvalues and

Iowa Lakes Community College Head Women's Basketball Coach Nicole Bullock has announced the signing of two players from St. Louis, Mo., to National Junior College Letters of Intent.
Aliyah Easter and Alyssia Winston will bring their talents to Estherville and become part of a Laker team that has high hopes for the upcoming season.
Easter is a 5'6" guard who averaged five points and five rebounds per game and shot 34 percent from the field for Cardinal Ritter Prep last season.
"Aliyah is a very talented addition to our program," said Head Women's Basketball Coach Nicole Bullock. "She comes from an extremely successful high school program and her ability to play both inside and out on the perimeter adds versatility for us on both ends of the floor."
Winston is a 6'0" center who was an All-Conference Honorable Mention last season at Hazelwood Central High School.
"We are thrilled about Alyssia joining our program," said Coach Bullock. She brings size, strength and a much needed inside presence. She will be an impact player both offensively and defensively next year."

Military Fitness and Movement Training
So There You Are…
(Video Below)
You just left the last covered and concealed position moving to the breach point. After a short pregnent pause your breacher has set the charge on the door and the commander has initiated the breach. If the clanking sound of all you equipment didn't wake up the house you are pretty sure the water impulse charge packed with det chord and c-4 did. As you move through the smokey threshold where the door used to be you catch a look at the HVT (high value target) he looks at you as you look at his hands to see if you can end this operation with 5.56 millimeters of lead and hate, unarmed he turns and runs out the back and your team pursues. In his man-jamas he clears a 6 foot wall no problem the breacher stands on a planter and can clear the far side from where he is and you get the order to follow; what is going to get you over that wall? Your strength? your cardio? Is it something about you military fitness?
Military Fitness Has Three Major Parts
We have all talked about the compromise between cardio and strength training when we are trying to hone in our military fitness but, I think those are only two pieces of the puzzle and without the third you may be missing the boat. The third part of military fitness IMHO is movement training. Functional strength is all the rage these days and you can't talk about fitness without someone saying "Crossfit" but the fact of the matter is you are never going to power clean on the battle field but, you may have to climb a wall or pull yourself out of a burning humvee. This is not a hit on functional training which is super important, but if you have a greater respect for movement training when you are done reading this post and watching the video (below) I think you will have gained something for your time.

Gun laws do nothing to prevent crime and protect people. They are just another device the Commocrats use to accumulate more power over us. Where gun laws are the most restrictive, crime is the highest; where gun laws are the least restrictive, crime is the lowest.
If you support any gun control laws including the background checks, you have bought into the Commocrats propaganda and need to educate yourself by reading Professor John Lott's study, 'More Guns, Less Crime'.

How do I remove left power window mtr in '97 Chev pickup door?
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but if not then maybe someone will redirect me.
The truck is a 1997 Chevy 2 door Silverado.
Power window on the left side quit working and the window is up all the way.
I am getting voltage at the motor, so I assume it needs a new motor.
My problem is getting to the motor.
I have removed everything inside the door face and now I am at the inner steel panel (that the motor is riveted to). I removed the dozen or so screws and the panel is loose but it will not come off.
The problem is of course the window arm is still in it's track and the window is in the up position.
How can I lower the glass so that the panel/motor can be removed?
Thanks for any help someone can send my way.........pg
Hi: I'm going to put this in General Rodding Tech. I think you'll get better answers there.
Let's try Autzone's link directly.
First of all, you will have to look at the 5th digit of your VIN in order to determine if it is a "C/K" series or "R/V" series.
(I thought they were ALL "C/K" in 1997, but I see these instructions cover 1988 to 1998 trucks.)
If the link doesn't work, here is the text:
R/V Series
Raise the glass to the full up position and tape it to the door frame with fabric tape.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the door trim panel.
Remove the window control bolts and lay the control aside for access.
Remove the regulator-to-door panel attaching bolts.
Disconnect the harness from the regulator.
Slide the regulator assembly rearward, disengaging the rollers from the sash panel.
A notch is provided in the sash panel to allow disengagement of the forward roller on the window regulator.
Remove the regulator assembly through the access hole in the door.
The next step must be performed when the regulator is removed from the door. The regulator lift arms are under tension from the counterbalance spring and can cause serious injury if the motor is removed without locking the sector gear in position.
Drill a hole through the regulator sector gear and back plate. DO NOT drill a hole closer than 1/2 in. (13mm) to the edge of the sector gear or back plate. Install a pan head sheet metal tapping screw (No. 10-12×3/4 in.) in the drilled hole to lock the sector gear in position.
Remove the motor-to-regulator attaching screws and remove the motor from the regulator.
To install:
Prior to installation, lubricate the motor drive gear and regulator sector teeth.
Install the motor to the regulator. Make sure the motor and sector gear teeth mesh properly before installing the retaining screws.
Remove the screw locking the sector gear in the fixed position.
Reposition the motor in the door and install the wiring connector.
Attach the regulator to the door.
C/K Series
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
Remove the door trim panel.
Remove the water deflector by peeling it back.
Disconnect the door lock rods at the module.
Loosen the upper run channel bolt.
Move the run channel away from the glass.
Pull the wiring harness towards the door to reach the connector. Remove the boot from the wiring and disconnect the harness at the door hinge pillar.
Remove the module and window assembly from the door frame by tilting it and lowering it from the door.
Fold back the tab on the channel and slide the glass out.
On trucks with power components, drill out the rivets from the inner handle housing.
Drill out the regulator assembly rivets.
Remove the regulator/motor assembly.
The next step must be performed when the regulator is removed from the door. The regulator lift arms are under tension from the counterbalance spring and can cause serious injury if the motor is removed without locking the sector gear in position.
Install a pan head sheet metal tapping screw through the sector gear and backing plate in the hole provided, to lock the sector gear in position.
Drill out the motor-to-regulator attaching rivets and remove the motor from the regulator.
To install:
Prior to installation, lubricate the motor drive gear and regulator sector teeth.
Install the motor to the regulator. Make sure the motor and sector gear teeth mesh properly before installing the replacement attaching bolts and nuts.
Remove the screw locking the sector gear in the fixed position.
Reposition the motor/regulator in the door and install the wiring connector.
Attach the regulator to the door.
Slide the glass out into the channel and fold over the tab.
Fit the glass into the rear channel in the door, then, while pulling the channel towards the glass, fit the glass into the front run channel.
Install the boot from the wiring and connect the harness at the door hinge pillar.
Install the lower run channel bolt.
Install the door lock rods at the module.
Install the module panel screws, starting at the top left, then the top right.
Install the water deflector.
Tighten the upper run channel bolt.
Install the trim panel on the door.
Thanks 66GMC......
I appreciate your reply regarding removing the window motor.
I have the factory manual, but in my opinion it is poorly written. I mean, I can certainly read but the instruction is given with poor illustrations and is so chopped up that I have to jump back and forth between 25 pages of information. The truck is a C1500. The Auto-Zone info did not help me, but thanks.
After 3 hours today I became so disgusted that I gave up and just popped the panel back on the door. The motor is fastened on with rivets and I was tempted to drill them and let the motor fall free inside the door, to enable me to remove that inner steel panel but decided not to do that. Glad now that I did not.
The last window motor I installed was in the right door of my 1992 Chevy van.
I think it was the worst beating I ever had! I got the dang thing out, but just barely. At least it was not held on with rivets, nor had the inner steel panel.
I guess I will have to live with a window that stays up.........pg
Might ask over at www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard . They have late-model forums, too.
You will have to drill out the "special" rivets. Buy the new motor from GM and get the five rivets also. In fact, get a few extra because your going to bugger the first one up anyways until you get the correct tension down pat. You also need a large 22 inch pop rivet tool, a simple hand one won't do. When you drill out the rivets, have a piece of string cord looped around the rollers to catch the glass or it will fall and wedge in the track. It will take a few hours to do the job. Have GM parts print you out a schematic of the door parts to help guide you.
The problem is not the motor, but the screw assembly has worn out gears. That is why the motor tests out OK.
The long and short of it though is, believe it or not, I moved the truck this evening and the dang window goes up and down smoothly and without a loss of speed.
So clearly, a motor I do not need.
There must be a loose connection somewhere. The connections to the switch are good and the connections to the motor are tight also. There cannot be many other places where connections can be found....as I am looking at the wiring diagram........pg

Dear Lucy,
I am going to show my Intermediate-level students a movie and I am very much confused with what to do and when to do. The movie comes from Hollywood (The Recruit). It's a kind of workshop for them. At first I would like to know whether such video material is advised or not? And I would like to know what I should do before, during and after the class. I have some Ideas but I would like an expert to help me too. Please note that the students are adults and the duration of the class is about 4 hours. I am anxiously looking forward to your useful answer.

The Today piece was bizarre. Rabbi Romain was complaining that the reference to the school's religious character was unacceptable. Ed Balls was cast as the enemy, defending the rights of faith schools while insisting that he was not transgressing against secularist orthodoxy because Catholic schools will still be required to give information about contraception and abortion. (See also Richard Marsden's excellent summary with quotations from the programme.) Nobody was there to point out that Catholic schools cannot give information about how to access the local abortion clinic since this would be formal co-operation in a grave evil.
As Damian Thompson reports, everyone official on the Catholic side was conveniently unavailable. If you think that it is OK for a Catholic school to give information about abortion services, I suppose you might as well let Ed Balls give the reassurances rather than allow yourself to be quoted on the subject.
Earlier this month, Pope Benedict said to the bishops of England and Wales:
I urge you as Pastors to ensure that the Church's moral teaching be always presented in its entirety and convincingly defended. Fidelity to the Gospel in no way restricts the freedom of others – on the contrary, it serves their freedom by offering them the truth.So would it be too much to ask for a clear statement that Catholic schools may not refer pupils to "services" that will kill unborn babies?

World Cup 2010, Visually
All in all, I thought that the both sides played well in the final—I'm tempted to draw a comparison to the NBA finals, which was equally physical, not to mention prolonged for the teams' defensive prowess and perhaps even grueling to the point of ennui, yet entertaining nonetheless. Contrary to the subtext of recent imagery, I was hoping that David Villa, the Creative Force in Spain's Attack, would pull through with the epic overtime clincher, though Iniesta's execution was also worthy of, say, Donovan.

FLASHBACK: Right-Wing Media Who Claimed Govt. "Can't Afford" NPR Funds Now Defending Tax Breaks For Jets
Research ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Right-wing media are defending tax breaks for corporate jet owners, arguing that ending them is tantamount to "class warfare" and also would not significantly lower the deficit. But right-wing media have previously claimed that the government "can't afford" to continue to provide funds to NPR, even though these subsidies are significantly lower than those provided through tax breaks for corporate jets.
Right-Wing Media Say Ending Jet Tax Breaks Won't "Make Much Of A Difference"
Drudge: "Ending Corp Jet Tax Break Would Save Less Than 1/10th Of 1% Of Obama's Target." Beginning on June 30, Drudge posted a link to a Bloomberg article that read:
The Bloomberg article to which Drudge linked stated: "President Barack Obama's proposal to end a tax break for corporate jet owners ... would achieve less than one-tenth of 1 percent of his target for reducing the federal deficit. Such a change would put $3 billion into the Treasury over a decade." [Drudge Report Archives, 6/30/11; Bloomberg, 6/30/11]
Wash. Times Op-Ed: Obama "Laid Down The Class-Warfare Marker" In Speech With Proposal That Would "Produce Little Gain." A June 30 op-ed in The Washington Times claimed:
President Obama had laid down the class-warfare marker Wednesday, insisting that tax increases on "millionaires and billionaires" would reduce the deficit and create jobs. In reality, anyone with a combined income of more than $250,000, including small-business owners who file as individuals, would pay more.
The president also would end "tax breaks for oil companies and hedge-fund managers and corporate-jet owners." Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin added on Thursday that the Democrats want to end "the litany of subsidies we've gone through, from yachts, to thoroughbred horses, to jetliners of commercial entities."
Feeling betrayed, union bosses at the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and General Aviation Manufacturers Association fired off an angry letter to Mr. Obama saying that "such talk may appear to some as good politics, the reality is that it hurts one of the leading manufacturing and exporting industries in the United States. And it adds to the pain so many working families have endured."
That pain would produce little gain. At best, closing this so-called loophole would yield about $3 billion to Uncle Sam over 10 years. All the proposed taxes on U.S. oil companies would generate $44 billion over 10 years -- all of which would be passed along to consumers already suffering from paying $4 at the pump. These measures add up to 0.3 percent of our $14.3 trillion debt. [The Washington Times, 6/30/11]
Fox's Briggs: "It's Really Just A Symbol ... It's Not Going To Make Much Of A Difference At All." On the July 1 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, the guest co-hosts discussed Obama's speech on Wednesday and his proposal to end tax breaks for corporate jets. Guest host Dave Briggs said the gesture was "really just a symbol ... to make Republicans the party of the corporate jets" and that the proposal would not "make much of a difference at all." From the broadcast:
BRIGGS: Let's talk about the president's war on those with corporate jets. That's what he highlighted on Wednesday in that rather partisan speech. Well, Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, who tends to speak out on issues, if you haven't noticed -- he doesn't exactly like this idea. An idea, by the way, that would save a whopping $3 billion over 10 years. Here's what the governor of New Jersey says about it.
CHRISTIE (video): This myth that somehow this is a bunch of people on, you know, golf courses and Lear jets, you know, is the type of Democratic misinformation which really is only there to mask their real agenda, which is just to increase taxes in an irresponsible way. [cut] You let them in your pocket for a second, and they're going to keep grabbing for more and more. That's the way it works. So I'm not letting my foot off the throat of that for a second.
CLAYTON MORRIS (guest co-host): Also this morning, Republicans are jumping on the fact that President Obama himself supported these tax cuts for jets in the stimulus package twice. Two different provisions that would actually give these tax breaks to corporate jet owners. The president himself was for it. Now they say he's against it.
MOLLY LINE (guest co-host): And we've seen this historically in the past. You know, these types of issues have come up, you know, regarding yachts in the past, and the idea is that if you're taxing something, less people will buy it, and maybe it won't create as many jobs. You know, people that are building airplanes or building yachts, that sort of thing. So -- really interesting controversy that is much more layered than the initial, you know, should people get a break for buying these products?
BRIGGS: It's really just a symbol, you know, he wants to make the Republicans the party of the corporate jets. It really isn't about fiscal health for our country. I mean, it's not going to make much of a difference at all. He just wants to put that symbol in the voters' minds ahead of 2012.

But Right-Wing Media Blasted NPR Funds -- Which Are Just $5M Per Year -- As Unaffordable
NPR Received About $5 Million In Federal Funds In 2010. According to a March 17 Associated Press article, NPR received about $5 million in federal funds in the fiscal year 2010. [Associated Press, 3/17/11, via Media Matters]
Doocy Attacked NPR Funding To Defend Oil Subsidies. On the April 20 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy discussed comments that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi had made about the GOP's budget priorities. After playing video of Pelosi talking about "big subsidies to big oil," Doocy said, "Why didn't she mention the big subsidies to NPR or Planned Parenthood there while she was at it?"

Williams Asks If NPR Funding Is "More Important Than ... Scholarships ... The Police Or The Fire? You Want To Have That As Your Priority Even At A Time Of Fiscal Constraints?" On the March 18 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, guest host Juan Williams discussed federal funding for NPR with Caroline Helmand, a political science professor at Occidental College. Williams suggested NPR funding was not affordable, saying, "You want to have [funding for NPR] as your priority even at a time of fiscal constraints?" From the broadcast:
WILLIAMS: Oh, so why don't you say that they should just be open to advertising and go into the marketplace like FOX News and every other news organization from the New York Times, The Washington Post, to the L.A. Times?
HELMAND: Great question, Juan. I think that, actually, they provide something that mainstream commercial media cannot provide. They provide news that doesn't come from a corporate slant. And if you want to look at the biggest bias in compromise information...
WILLIAMS: If it's that valuable to you, Caroline, why wouldn't you pay for it?
HELMAND: Well, I do pay for it through my taxes, and that's where -- how I would like to pay for it, in addition to my individual contributions.
WILLIAMS: Oh, I see. But wait a minute. Hold on. So then you're saying it's more important in terms of your tax spending than Social Security? More important than...
HELMAND: Not more.
WILLIAMS: Let's say it's scholarships for college children.
HELMAND: Not more.
WILLIAMS: More important than the police or the fire? You want to have that as your priority even at a time of fiscal constraints?
HELMAND: Well, Juan, our fiscal constraints are the result of tax cuts for the wealthy whose wealth has been growing astronomically since the early '80s while the middle class have remained stagnant.
WILLIAMS: So increase taxes to pay for NPR's budget? That's what you're saying?
HELMAND: No, no. Just restore taxes to an equitable place, and he [sic] will be fine. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 3/18/11, accessed via Nexis]
Hannity: "We Can't Afford" The "Hyper-Political" NPR. On the March 17 edition of Fox News' Hannity, host Sean Hannity discussed the House vote to defund NPR with Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers. Referring to comments then-Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) had made on the House floor, Powers said:
POWERS: I think [Weiner is] making a great point, which is, why are we spending our time on this, this is ridiculous.
HANNITY: Because we can't afford it.
POWERS: Because that is -- no --
HANNITY: And they're hyper-political.
POWERS: This has nothing to do -- this has nothing to do with the budget. This is completely ideological.
HANNITY: It does so have to do with the budget.
POWERS: It is a tiny, tiny, tiny little thing. And if they're spending their time on this -
HANNITY: You know what? Then if it's a tiny thing, let them go public. Let them make their money off Sesame Street and let's cut somewhere, because we're not going to have any money left, and the country's headed down the tubes.
POWERS: Why don't we cut funding for Afghanistan and bring everybody home? There's some real money.
HANNITY: Because that's called security, liberty, freedom, and we have Al Qaeda, Islamic radicals --
POWERS: And we're losing, and Al Qaeda is not there anymore, and they're in Pakistan.
HANNITY: Uh, excuse me. They're -- they're everywhere.
POWERS: The point is, you know, why are you able to say, oh, let's spend money on Afghanistan, but I can't -
HANNITY: You don't want to cut NPR?
POWERS: No, I don't want to cut NPR. I think NPR is great --
HANNITY: So how much money do you -- are you willing to cut?
POWERS: My taxpayer money has been paying for two wars that I don't support.
HANNITY: It's called freedom.
POWERS: OK, it's not called freedom. It has nothing to do with our freedom. And it's been paying for that. And if I want to have NPR paid for, can I just have that tiny little, tiny little bit of money.
HANNITY: I'll tell you what -- all you and your liberal friends can raise all the money and go out on the street and say, donate to NPR and Big Bird, and they'll donate to you. [Fox News, Hannity, 3/17/11, via Media Matters]
Hannity: Families Are "Struggling To Pay Their Mortgage" And "Send Their Kids To College," So "Why Should Any Taxpayer Dollars Go To" NPR? On the November 29, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, Hannity discussed federal funds for NPR with guests Sally Kohn of Movement Vision Lab and political commentator S.E. Cupp. Hannity asked why "any taxpayer dollars" should go to NPR when families "were struggling to pay their mortgage." From the broadcast:
HANNITY: That is one issue, one argument. Explain to me why the any taxpayer dollars should go for radio when George Soros is donating $1.8 million and they raise, they supposedly claim most of their money on air. Although, there are sources that say they're not quite as honest how much money they get. Why should we pay any money for this? What is the function role of government here?
KOHN: Look, first of all, this is a trifle in terms of amounts of money and really, this is the Republicans trying to demagogue and trying to not have to talk about these serious issues.
HANNITY: How about taxpayer dollars fund my radio show?
HANNITY: Do you believe in freedom? Do you believe in free enterprise? Families who were struggling to pay their mortgage. They can't send their kids to college. They can't make their car payments. Real unemployment is 17 percent. Why should any taxpayer dollars go to that and we could pay down the debt or help poor people, which is a big liberal cost? Why don't we spend the money on that?
KOHN: You're really trying to rope me in there. Look, we're talking about $440 million, that $1.43 --
HANNITY: $440 million of real money.
KOHN: The United States government spends three-and-a-half times -
CUPP: That is not an argument.
KOHN: On office furniture.
CUPP: Not an argument.
KOHN: It is.
CUPP: The government should not use taxpayer argument to fund non-essentials. Sorry, listening to car talk every night is not essential use of government funding. [Fox News, Hannity, 11/29/10, accessed via Nexis]

Latest figures out of the United Kingdom indicate that one in six 18-24 year-olds are not in education, employment or training) which has earned them the name of Neets. The number of 16-18 year-olds in the same situation has risen by 24,000 to 233,000 which represents nearly 12% of this age group. Part of the problem is the inability of British universities to find places for students who ordinarily might qualify, but with so many applying for university places, it is expected a record 60,000 this year will become college rejects and join the Neets.
Politicians will bemoan the situation and declaim and declare of their intention to do something. Of course, there is need to expand college places, hire more faculty, establish training programs and get more people working as career counselors. In July, 1933, four months after Franklin Roosevelt assumed office, there were 277,000 young men working in CCC camps. In the aftermath of WWII, colleges in America rapidly expanded to handle the onslaught of returning veterans.
Day care centers, urban renewal projects, and a host of other tasks are desperately in need of human assistance. How about a hundred billion to focus on jobs today, not tomorrow. That is JTNT.

Sewing machine sped
My motor runs all the time, very smooth and quiet-- but then i'm half deaf so that helps--half hp ac single phase. It must have a hell of a flywheel because it runs for 15 min. after you shut it off. I think my pfaff is the same number as yours but not sure would have to look as it is over to my kid's place now. Good luck.
There is a big difference in the different brands of servo motors. I researched quite a bit before settling on the SewQuiet 3000. I chose it because it gave me the most features and the most control of any that I looked at. It was not the cheapest, ($140 3 years ago) but it was not the most expensive either. I don't have a problem with the "steps" you talk about, but when you first start sewing, you have to be careful not to push too hard on the treadle too quickly or it will race for a few stitches. After that, it is as smooth as silk.
BTW, just not having to listen to my clutch motors running all day was worth switching to me!
I bought one of the early servomotors from Allbrands. At that time, they were only selling 1/4 hp motors, so that's what I got. I use it on my 111W155 and several other industrial sewing heads and have never had a problem with it being underpowered. When you consider that a home machine is somewhere in the 1/20 to 1/10 hp range, 1/4 hp is quite a step up and 3/4 hp is akin to dropping a Cadillac engine into an Escort.
One problem I have with my servomotor is that the speed changes are not smooth - there are about 5 "steps" from 0 to full speed and sometimes I want to sew in between two of the steps. I have never heard anyone else mention this, so perhaps it has been fixed in the later or more expensive models.
The servo is a DC motor (same principle as a variable speed drill) and is only on when you press on the treadle, so you won't even hear it unless you are sewing. I can adjust my servos so that if I want to, pushing down on the treadle all the way will only make one very slow stitch at a time, but I have the same power as if the motor was going full speed. My motors are Reliable SewQuiet 3000's.
BTW, speed and power are two different things. With regular AC motors, a 1 hp motor produces 3 ft. lbs. of torque at 1750 rpms. A 1/2 hp AC motor produces 1.5 ft. lbs. of torque at that speed. As you go slower, torque increases. If you go above 1750 rpms, torque will decrease.
Servos are DC and have constant torque throughout the speed range.
|This one is the standard single speed clutch motor that all beginner's seem to have trouble with.You can slip the clutch and "vary" the speed somewhat between 0 and to fast, but it is so sensitive that it is impossible to slow it to the point that you can see the needle instead of a blur.Once the clutch locks up it is full speed, no ajustments. Gringo, I don't know what you have, sounds like it is set up more like a servo motor.What model of a Pfaff do you have? Jim.
clutch motor
After reading Dan's letter, I had to go look at my machine. My motor is a clutch type (it says easy clutch) and it has variable speed from one stitch at a time to probably 200 mph. We have three machines and all have the same type motors. 2 Chandlers and a Pfaff. The only ones I've seen that are single speed are the old leather machines from the shoe shops and they are really slow. If it only has one speed you are going to want to change it for sure, you need variable speeds. Just push pedal down by hand an see if it speeds up as you push down.
|Thanks Dan for the good explanation.I didn't realize that you had servo motors on your machines.I see that I don't have to be concerned about a 1/2 servo not being as strong as a 1/2 clutch style.Changing the pulley would be an option, but will still be to fast at even half speed,and you would still have to get used to the clutch.Don't think I have enough spare time to practice to get good enough to work on the real thing.It sounds like the servo will give us the control that a beginner needs to play around and have fun. Thanks Jim.
You hook the treadle (foot pedal) up to a servo motor just like you do a clutch motor. No, your servo motor does not need to be more powerful than a clutch motor. I replaced 1/2 H.P. clutch motors with 1/2 H.P. servo motors on both of my industrial machines. They work beautifully, and I sew every day for a living. I've been sewing for almost 35 years, and I can't tell the difference.
A servo motor is a constant torque device, so you will get the same amount of power throughout the speed range of the servo. What is the difference between a clutch motor and a servo? The servo theoretically will have less power at slower speeds than a clutch motor, but a servo will have more power at higher speeds. What does this mean for average sewing? You won't be able to tell the difference. The problem with a clutch motor is that it is either on or off. Unless you are willing to spend enough time to be comfortable with the machine, you will still have accidents and screw something up. The servo motor gives you the option of having true variable speed control over the motor immediately. In other words, the less you press on the foot pedal (treadle) the slower the servo will go. The clutch motor is always going at its base speed, usually 1750 RPMs, and you need to slip the clutch to be able to sew slower. This takes a LOT of practice to do it consistently and effectively.
If you want to slow down your clutch motor, you have two options. You can possibly have an electrician re-connect the wiring in your motor down to 875 RPMs, ( depending on the motor) or you can replace the pulley on the clutch motor with one of smaller diameter, or both. If you reduce the RPM of the clutch motor by 1/2 through a pulley on the clutch motor 1/2 the diameter it is now, you will go 1/2 as fast as you do now. The same is true of re-wiring the motor. If you reduce the RPM by 1/2, you will go 1/2 as fast as you do now. If you reduce the pulley diameter on the clutch motor by 1/2, and reduce the RPM of the motor by 1/2 as well, the clutch motor will run at 1/2 of 1/2 of its full speed, or 1/4th the speed it runs at now. Now the bad news........you can do all of this and STILL not slow it down enough to where you are comfortable sewing. A servo motor eliminates that problem. Servo motors are the perfect choice for novice sewers. You can sew as slowly as you want at first and then speed up if you want to. This is not the case with a clutch motor.
Sewing machine sped
You should be able to adjust the pedal to go slow enough. I had same problem years ago. The main thing is getting use to pushing the pedal which will come with practice. The easiest way is to put a piece of wood or some type of stop under front of pedal. Push down until you find a speed you are comfortable with and adjust your stop accordingly. When you find the right speed you adjust the rod that goes to clutch arm. The rod should be adjustable up and down and also try it in different holes in clutch arm. Leave the spring alone. These are good motors and should last forever. Hope this helps some.
Servo motor versus Clutch motor questions?
We finally got ourselves a used sewing machine this week.It is an older Phaff 145 h-3 that hasn't seen a lot of steady usage, so is in real good condition. With the clutch motor, it goes way fast for me to accuratley see what I'm trying to sew, and my wife can't control it very well either, compared to her home machines. We have played with pedal height and spring tension, but can't let it slip to go slow consistantly to get comfortable with it. We are looking at getting a servo motor for it.When you look at the servo motor option on the Tacsew site, they sell a 3/4 horsepower servo to replace the 1/2 clutch motor!! Do you need the extra power in a servo? Or is a 1/2 servo as good as a1/2 clutch style? What do you hook the pedal lever up to on the servo motor?Can you set or adjust the top speed with the servo so that say setting #1 would be a quarter of top speed,with the pedal pushed right down, and setting or adjustment#2 might be half of top speed pushed right down? Any explanation of how the servo motor works or controls would be great. Thanks Jim.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
With severe thunderstorms and tornadoes buffeting the Knoxville area Thursday evening, multi-event action at the 2003 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships was interrupted for three hours and 18 minutes at the University of Tennessee's Tom Black Track.
The 100m dash, the first competition of the men's decathlon, had just been completed when inclement weather forced everyone to leave the track area to take cover at 4:42 p.m. ET. Heavy rains fell and left some puddles, and the wind blew over a couple of small tents, but there was no major damage to report. A swift and well-executed evacuation plan also prevented any of the athletes, meet officials or spectators from being in harm's way.
After four events, Tennessee's Caitlin Ward stands in 12th place with 2614 points. Hyleas Fountain of Georgia, the SEC Indoor champ in the pentathlon, claimed the day-one lead with 3550 points after claiming wins in the 100m hurdles, high jump and 200m dash. Antoinette Wilks of South Carolina was second at 3236, followed by Vanderbilt's Josie Hahn in third at 3178.
The women's 100m hurdles, originally slated to start at 5:15 p.m., finally got underway at 8 p.m. after a magnificent double rainbow appeared overhead, providing a reassuring all-clear sign. Ward, taking part in her first-ever heptathlon, registered a 16.82 reading in the initial event with a legal wind of 0.5 meters per second to tally 617 points and sit in 13th place.
Ward, from Gibsonia, Pa., then managed to clear 4-10 1/2 in the high jump to place 12th and collect 610 points. Her two-event total of 1227 was good for an improvement to 12th place after two events.
Next up in the shot put, the rookie landed throws of 34-5 and 34-0 3/4 before letting go of a 35-2 heave to place third in event three with 577 points. She remained in 12th place at 1804 but moved to within 85 points of Georgia's Jessica Bartlett.
Finally, Ward clocked a 25.85 in the 200-meter dash with a legal wind of 0.2 to take fifth in that event with 810 points and close out the night in strong fashion. Day one of the heptathlon and a strange day of atmospheric phenomena were capped around 11:20 p.m., as fog began to roll in at Tom Black Track and a total lunar eclipse occurred in the skies over the facility.
Under more normal conditions, hopefully, Ward will compete in the final three events of the heptathlon on Friday, beginning with the long jump at 5 p.m. She will finish the seven-event competition with the javelin throw at 6:15 p.m. and the 800-meter run at 8:05 p.m.
The first competitor for UT on day two, however, will be junior Janine Tessarzik (Altamont, N.Y.) who is slated to throw the hammer at 10 a.m. Tessarzik set the school record on April 27 this season, when she stretched the tape measure to 175-9 at the Knoxville Invitational.
The only other event contested as a final on Friday will be the 10,000 meters at 9:50 p.m. Junior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) and freshmen Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) and Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.) are entered in that race. Flaute covered the distance in 36:30.89 to finish 22nd in the invitational division at the Penn Relays in her only other attempt at that race. Guliford and Southers are logging their first 10K of the season, but Southers took sixth a season ago at SECs, finishing in 37:23.33.
Those running in preliminary events on Friday evening include defending SEC champ Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.) and Antoinette Gorham, both sophomores, in the 800 meters at 7:15 p.m.; sophomores Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Canada) and Dee Dee Trotter (Decatur, Ga.) in the 200 meters at 7:50 p.m.; and junior Christina Billings (Madison, Wis.) in the 400m hurdles at 8:35 p.m.

How to Avoid Major Real Estate Investor Pitfalls
As home inventory begins to shrink and interest rates remain low, the better real estate investment bargains are getting multiple offers from interested buyers and investors are eagerly snapping up homes - often under the mistaken assumption that every short sale, foreclosed or REO (real estate owned) property is a highly profitable investment opportunity.
Unfortunately, according to HomeLovers, while a home may be a great bargain, it may not be suitable as a rental property. "We are still seeing way too many people apply the right timing and enthusiasm to the wrong property," stated HomeLovers Co-founder David Zundel."Investors are bringing their new steals to us to manage, only to find out that the home they bought has long-term challenges and attracts the wrong types of tenants or is prone to vacancies."
"Over 80% of the homes brought to us for management are the types of homes that we would never have purchased or sold as investments," added Michael Sargent, HomeLovers' other co-founder. "Even the cheapest foreclosure can be a very expensive investment mistake."
Before jumping into what seems like a great opportunity, how can you avoid common pitfalls as you select properties to invest in?
- Do your homework before shopping for a home, so you have a thorough understanding of your long-term plans for the property and the type of tenant you want to attract. It is important to know what your ideal tenant is looking for and the type of property that is most likely to meet their needs. For example, a two-story home in Sun City, Ariz. might lend itself to vacancy issues simply because the senior demographics of the area are adverse to stairs, where a two-story home in Chandler, Ariz. near a park or school may be in high demand because of its younger demographics.
- Spend time looking at the demographics of the prospective home's neighborhood. Some neighborhoods are simply prone to attract the wrong types of tenants by nature of their affordability. If you are looking at homes renting for under $1,000, understand that you are looking at tenants that typically earn double or triple that - or $24,000 to $36,000 annually. Renters in this income level may struggle with bills and add an unwanted risk factor to your portfolio. The most common mistake, according to HomeLovers, is that investors are scrambling to buy the sub-$100,000 homes. While that might be a great price, there are many more issues that impact a property's profitability, and the advice of a reputable portfolio planner is critical.
- Don't wait for the bottom of the market. By the time sources confirm the market has hit bottom, prices and interest rates are already on the upswing. Many people tend to sit back and watch before taking action, but if you watch too long, opportunities are missed. The time to buy is now, but it should be done carefully. Investors need to purchase with the long-term returns in mind. With the rig...

Seeing as the other dogs I pheasant hunt with are smaller I figure I could put a smaller kennel next to mine and have more room in the end. This is what I came up with. Wasn't able to finish due to the rain but got a pretty good start. Still need to add a handle to the drawer, carpet it all and buy a second kennel but I am almost there. Now I will be able to hunt four guys and two dog out of my truck. Is it October yet????

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes all three of the Premier League's newly-promoted clubs could be 'stayers' this season.
The top flight's new faces have turned heads since stepping up from the Championship and currently straddle the mid-table positions with Norwich City in ninth, Swansea City in 10th and Queen's Park Rangers in 11th.
Blackpool made a similarly impressive start to the last Premier League campaign but fell away and were eventually relegated. As Wenger prepared to take his team to Norwich on Saturday, he explained why he expects a different story this season.
"It indicates what I have said many times - the quality in the Championship has improved," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"When you speak about the likes of Swansea, Norwich and QPR they have beaten good sides. All three teams play football. The quality of their intensity and desire to play football in the Premier League has gone up.
"We have seen Swansea have more possession than Liverpool. At Arsenal they also had good possession, so they have the desire to get the ball down and play. That's why they adapt very quickly.
"It looks like they [the newly-promoted teams] will [stay around]. You cannot just win games on desire and commitment. If you can master the ball, that can last.
"Last season we saw that with Blackpool, who in the end were unfortunate. As long as they could stay stable psychologically they could play anywhere - and they did."
The full interview with Wenger is now available on Arsenal Player.

I've gone back and forth on selling my USP too.. now that I have the P99s it just doesn't see much use. But I haven't been able to part with it yet.
That said, now that you're getting into long guns, why not? If you're not using the USP, why not put it towards something you will use?
Of course that's the rational answer
Mostly though, I view my collection as an evolving journey.. trying out new guns I've been interested in, learning from it, and moving on - as opposed to simply amassing a bigger and bigger collection for the sake of having more toys..

Re: To pull or not to pull....
Very location dependent, obviously. My experience is central Chesapeake.
* Snow load. Generally boats bear heavy snow better in the water, unless there is a very carefully constructed cover. However, you need to be certain your cockpit drains stay clear and that no anticipated load can cause water to siphon back into the engine (the boat may be pressed down several inches. Specifically for multihulls (huge decks and no iron keel to set on) the water is far more gentle.
* Minimum temperatures. Actually, a boat in the water seldom goes far below freezing. Though it is still smart to winterize all systems, the temperatures are moderated by the water.
* Burst rudders. Can't freeze in the water.
* Damp. In my experience, with any reasonable humidity management system, this is not a problem. Early spring is worst, when the water is cold but the air warm. Boats on the hard actually see far greater temperature swings.
* Power. I can keep a boat in the water plugged in, but not on the hard.
* Sinking. About like during the summer. At least in any climate where year around sailing is possible (no thick ice) the through hulls won't freeze, and it is not difficult to winterize them anyhow.
* Wind. If a boat is secured for named storms and squalls, winter is not worse. Chafe gear, of course.
* Ice. If you are in a marina where drifting ice is possible, haul. There is no good protection.
* Equipment reliability. Boats that see some off season use have fewer problems since everything (engines, batteries, electronics, hinges, valves, pumps, fuel systems) gets exercise and lubrication. Try parking your car for 8 months.
* Projects. There are VERY few projects that are helped by being hauled. Heck, I can't climb the mast on the hard. The dock is cooler than the yard. I can actually operate all of the systems under full load. Can you run your AC on the hard? Most cannot.
* Biannual hauling. Even with the best paint you will haul ever 2 years. Most projects can be scheduled. But even for this I haul in the summer, since working with paint and adhesives in the Spring is aggravating.
I've done both (early in my boat ownership I followed the crowd) and been MUCH happier in the water. It isn't about the money, not if they would haul and store for free. I'd need paid for lost use.
Re: To pull or not to pull....
Keep in mind all thees pictures are 2009 and later
Re: To pull or not to pull....
Unless you really want to save the money, haul it. The winds are generally much stronger over the winter months around here and you'll have to worry about a fender jumping the dock or the bilge pump not working, etc.
It would be much easier to work on at the dock over the winter, except hull work. However, it just gets too cold in my book to really work aboard for any length of time from Dec to Mar. Most of my projects are taken home during the winter.
Re: To pull or not to pull....
Thanks for all the opinions...
I will play it by ear for now but I am leaning towards the haul. There were a couple of really strong arguments but "peace of mind" was the strongest.
To pull or not to pull....
Hi Barry, I'm just curious to where you are based. I'm in Bayshore.
Re: To pull or not to pull....
I live in NY and keep my boat in a mooring during the season. In the winter my mooring gets hauled and my boat must be moved. I used to have the boat hauled each year, but last year I left it in the water (in a slip, securely tied with dock lines).
For me, the cost difference is major: Under $500 to leave in the water, over $2000 to have hauled and stored.
Now, with good ablative paint that lasts 2 years I plan on spending two years in the water, then hauled out for the winter. With the boat on the hard I can sand and paint the bottom and polish, wax, etc. the topsides.
Since I had my boat hauled in June for some storm related repairs I had the bottom painted, so I will spend winter in the water.
Last winter I thought I would do some sailing but I only got out twice. This winter I will forget about sailing and put a cover on the boat.
I live close to the marina and would be aboard often, at least every other week. I put a small propane heater on, and would often have lunch in the cabin: some hot coffee, a little heat from the propane, and then I would just read a paper, maybe clean a little, i found it very pleasant.
Re: To pull or not to pull....
boats were built to be in the water not land, so often they survive the storms better in the water than in a yard
We also like to haul to let the hull dry out. I've seen instances where blisters can form in a hull left in the water continually.
To be honest, by late fall I'm usually tired of the boat and want to catch up with other interests for a few months. When the boat is in the water, I'm always thinking about it's condition. Hauling lets me shelve those thoughts for a while.
Re: To pull or not to pull....
You also get SERIOUS condensation inside the boat. Great for mold,
Condensation is not a real problem, may even be less of a problem in the water compared to on the hard; it is usually colder on the hard, humidity is about the same.
Mostly too cold for mold. In both cases (water, pulled) one has to decide which strategy to use: closed or open:
Closed means everything should be locked, no air vet at all. One has to ensure all humidity is absorbed, usually in some kind of salt.
Open means ventialtion is open, the more the merrier. Dust and dirt will enter, but humidity is ventialed away.
Re: To pull or not to pull....
You also get SERIOUS condensation inside the boat. Great for mold, not so great for you.
Re: To pull or not to pull....
Even if there is no ice, that doesn't mean it is not cold. If it becomes really cold then water in the through-hulls could freeze even if there is no ice in the surrounding water (as it is circulating, which the water in the through-hulls isn't). Frozen thrugh-hulls is likely to create problems.
If it isn't very cold on the palce where the boat is - sure, no problem to stay in water. Many are doing that.
The advantage with having the boat in the water is the prolonged season - nearly all year! Sailing on Christmas - an experience.
To stay in water just for saving some $ - not a good argument, I think.

ExpandAll[(a + b) ** c] ?
Hello Mathgroup!
Ho do I make the non-commutative operator ** distributiv with respect to +,
thus the expression "ExpandAll[(a + b) ** c]" evaluates to "a**c + b**c", by
setting appropiate attributes to ** and + ?
PS: Sure, the rule (a+b)**c->a**c+b**c after the expression works fine, but
its a rule, not an attribute to **, nor to +.
Discussion point: Is there a any reason, why the non-commutative but
associative opertor ** should not be distributive with respect to a linear
operator + in general? To my opinion this would be more straightforward, when
calling the operator a multiplicative one. What do you think?
Thank you
