No juice,won't start- 348 chevy
I have this kar hooked up to 12 volts,,,,,,it turns over fine, The wire looks small in dia; into the distributor; stock points type. Coil is wired right as far as the minus sign on the coil goes to the dist; + goes to 12 volt. I hooked up a switch to a new wire from the+post on the bat,to the + side of the coil. Then i turn the "key" inside the kar. i still don't get 12 volts. This old 60 chevy has set out in a woods for 9 years or so. It was said to have been driven in there, while it was running and just turned of. Divorces make guys do these things , The motor looks good, but the kar has been a home to two dead skunks, thousands of mice. It has had the seats totaly eaten away. Back to the kar. I figure maybe somebody wants this motor for restoration . the original turbo glide is still there .Anything you can do to point me in the right direction will be very graeful on my side bob s I have built hotrods all my life [long *** time]'but am starting to forget the many procedures it takes to get an engine running
Ayuh,.... I'd start with filing, or better yet, changing, 'n settin' the Points...
You don't get 12 volts where? On the dash gauge, on volt meter at the resistor before the coil or at the points and condenser?
Is your distributor grounding good??? If its not grounding you will have no spark! an old car setting for years can lose the ground between the block and the distributor. It may have had a small ground wire at one time!
You need 2 wires to the + side of the coil one from the starter (The very small terminal for ignition) It supplies Juice to the coil as you turn it over and one from the ignition switch to the resistor! You have jumped a wire directly to the coil So you have bypassed that system! Is your battery reading a little over 12v ( a new battery will read a little over 13v) on a meter? If the coil wire is too small a gauge you could have a voltage drop!! Replace the condenser (there is no "going" bad with a condenser) Its either good or its bad(there is no in between). Without a good condenser it will have no spark! Does it have a condenser right on the + coil terminal The 60 chevys came with that it could be bad and grounding out (bleeding some electricity to ground)! Turn the key on and break the points open and closed manually when the points are off the actuating cam, you should see a small spark! if not See if there is voltage there with a test light when the points are open, if there is clean or replace them! If there's not track back through your wiring!

348 problem
The dash lites come on perfect.There isn't a resistor on this car .you mean that chevy used on evrything back then? battery is new.the tiny small wire is disconnected ...i thought it was the after market tach wire.the condensor hasn't been checked.....i will to that next.Wouldn't 12 volts to the coil+from the bat post;. be the same thing? as hooking the wire to the starter main post then taking it over to the coil+
It will be close to the same there is a small drop. Some coils have a built in resistance. you can have a voltage drop somewhere any where there is any resistance it can drop your voltage! whats the voltage when you test the battery terminals? Disconnect the coil+ and test from the battery- to the end of the wire. Then hook it back up to the coil+ and test. Whats your readings on the volt meter?
There's a small wire that hooks to the + of the coil on the 60s chevys that has a braided covering that is white in color (when new LOL) it could be dark brown from dirt and oil now> That wire is a the built in resister! If its gone or by passed you need a resistor with an ohm rating for the coil, some coils don't need a resistor it depends on what coil is installed! if you hook up the braided wire and install another resistor it will not run right! If you don't run a resistor on a coil that doen't need one it wont run right ETC. Your condenser has to be the right impedance or it will burn up your points or they will pit on one side and build up on the other and wont run right! Years ago I liked Blue Streak points they lasted forever but they merged and now they are Napa or Echlin! Dont by Jap. or Chin. the quality is terrible
12v from the battery to the + post on the coil wil bypass the ing system etc...... but as mentioned above you will burn out the coil in short order with out the resistor. You can get a external ballast resistor from NAPA that fits the old MOPAR cars.
if you dont run a resister on a coil that needs one it wont run right
if you run a resistor on a coil that doesn't need one it wont run right ETC.
I'm going downtown and buy a Remote start switch Where would you hook one up. standing in front looking at the motor? I could check spark plug fire on each cylinder among other things.I took the dis; cap off it looks like new .the points have been sealed inside, so they look pretty good[far as newness is concerned]
The condenser is still shiney.And i find myself not being able to lay on the engine to work on the distributor,.............do to the distance!.......... clear to the back.of the engine bay.I had forgotten since the two i had in the 60s, how far back the engine sets in these 60s. I can lay there but i won't be able to get back up.......and shes baking several different kinds of Christmas cookies. Can't disturb her you know how that goes . any clues appreciated
Bob How old are you ? I was president of a couple of car clubs in the bottom of the mit! Wyandotte President of the "Igniters" 50 years ago ( all dead now) Im the last member alive , A member of The "Piston pushers" Detroit and suburbs, A member of The "Motor state street rods" Detroit and suburbs, President of the "Taylor Area" street rods, And president of the reformed Igniters in Gaylord Michigan I moved and left that club. I'm not in a club now Their too structured and too many rules any more!
Look in my journal !!!!

348 won't start
[QUOTE=painted jester;1620529]Its me Chris Towery: I Know you I had the 38 Plymouth with the cross ram 409 and 4 speed used to run B gas! Small world I know all those guys Its bad if your the last of a clubs members Post a pic on the show your mug thread
here is somemore stuff Chris
I remember your car! It been long time since i've seen those guys for the most part. Whatever happened to ron morgan[suspended animation" his car.and diid they ever catch up with evertt rezindes prolly spelled wrong; i remember him driving the cranberry T , he called it. I used to see charlie rose around in the summers in his black 32 ford cpe.I saw him a few years ago at the ididit seminars and the ididit car show out by me. i'll look at your journal.
One more thing today.I now have 12 volt [thru my test lite] to the+ side of the coil. Still no fire at the plugs.Do you think its the points and condenser jester? bob s ps it is a small world as the years go by. And it keeps gettin smaller..as i told my wife til they put you in the ground........i still want to do a 55 chevy i'd better get at it
sorry one more question i built a BLack 57 h/t in the late 70s, jumbo did the interior remember him?It had a 4- speed 350 chevelle buckets and console i Sold this kar to a guy in the asphalt business around you somewhere. I was told by a guy from chicago that knew him,He said the guy had torn off the passenger side then put it in a garage..wheres its been since three weeks after i sold it.in the 70s. ring a "BEll" at all? i have tried and still trying to get it back see ya Chris
Man have you been busy Chris....what a great journal. i kept pics going but not to the extent you did..its kool man. bob

Bob I live outside of Clare and Everett in gods country with the shooters and beer drinken bible thumpers that think the word ends on the 21st LOL
He was Everett Rezendes, 1929 Ford, The Cranberry Delivery! He took all the credit on the Cranberry Delivery when he won Riddler Award! Joe Zambeck, Myself and about 20 others helped on that car! I thought he was my friend! His only friend was his money!! He was Busted and sued for stealing from Ford motor company R&D department (the touch controls and other things) I don't know if he went to jail for it though! I was supposed to testify but he pled out!I always thought they should have pulled his trophy but they didn't! He never put cooler lines on that car (Shows only car LOL) and when it was driven the first time it blew the whole trans out of it (on the ground)LOL
I had pictures of it when we worked on it but they were Polaroids and faded terribly I threw them out! It was something we were all proud of ) Till the scandal hit!
"Packy" lives up here by me! he was in the Piston Pushers and Taylor Area Street Rods His lungs are shot from asbestos! I don't know where Morgan is. I saw Rose a while back on the U.S. 27 tour. The "I did it" car and truck come up here to the weekend Coleman Show, Burn outs Fri. night and the show till Sunday afternoon! Its one of the good shows in Micigan!
I haven't seen Jumbo since '79 when I had cancer he came to see me before I died LOL I was diagnosed terminal! I beat the Devil though and Im still cruisen, We used to stop in at his home when cruising Telegraph when Woodward was getting tough to cruise! I remember your car! Hope you get it back one day! I can't help you though! The Dodge Hump back, Packy's "The Pack Rat" came in 3rd or 4th against the Cranberry I repainted and restored it a couple of years ago its in my Journal! It was hell redoing his mural it was hand painted years ago!
You didn't answer how old you are now? I had cancer a couple of more times again and had to sell the Plymouth after 39 years to pay medical bills
and picked up the Vett for 500 dollars it was t boned on both sides LOL but the frame was untouched Built it back with no Body parts just fiber & resin all I need now is door panels and paint but I still have fun driving it unfinnished and Im working on a 79 Camaro for the wife.
When your points are open do you have juice going to the terminal of the points from the coil? (when the points close and ground, the coil should throw a spark) if the points don't ground there will be no spark so yes it is very possible you need good points! So it could be a bad coil or condenser (unless you changed them) Or points or your dist. is not grounding! You can check the dist. ground easy hook the test light to power and touch the dist. body if it lights you have a good Dist. ground! Is that an old coil? If the plate the points are screwed to doesn't have a good ground to the dist. it wont let the points fire You can run a ground wire from the point plate screw to the main body of the dist. many distributors have that. If the engine block isn't grounding good it wont get spark, If the plugs aren't grounding to the block they wont spark!Did you check or change the plugs?
Did you check and clean all your grounds! How many years did your car set and was it out doors?
Your old friend Chris
This 60 set o/s for 8or 9 years in back of a building by the prison in ypsilanti twp
your loe ..new founf friend bob scharp ias jumbo still in business.?I see Teddy Z quite often in the summer shows around here. take care we will talk again PS Chris now that you mention it .it comes back to me. Rezendes hid that red delivery for awhile. Do you remember the couple who were killed hauling the "other" red delivery built around the same time. It rolled over and down a hill in tenn. They were pulling an enclosed trailer at the time. i remember being told. the transvan and the couple were killed, and the trailer was damaged..but the A -model came thru untouched. thats all i can remember, except the couple owned their own body shop. Nice people they were.i know there names can't think of them now. Chris.My memory is a bit cloudy till i see a sweet hotrod,or kustom kar, and it all comes back to me how great they are. as..................................... usuall typos are free bob s
We're ageing fast LOL yesterday it was 1969 LOL! My memory does that too!
I'll be typing on here and forget what I was Going to say and I'll wake up in the middle of the night and remember!!!!
My shoulders have been replaced 7 surgery's they were bone to bone and the tendons tore loose and the muscles rolled down to my elbows! and I crushed my lower 4 vertebra 7 years ago! But actually I feel good and in pretty good shape Just I walk slower now! But Im still awnry as hellI quit drinking but love a good cigar (about 3 El Producto bouquets a day) If I can find em up here
I went by Jumbo's when I was at the Woodward Detroit cruise He was long gone and I asked about him and no one knew where he moved to I heard about the wreck I didn't know they were killed but I did hear about the car being untouched!
The Cranberry Delivery was hidden by Everett because Ford wanted all the experimental stuff back! they had a court order! It was developed for a future prototype show car Ford was developing! I saw the car in St. Ignace at the show and the new owners did not know the story about the car! The gauges & touch control's and electronics were gone! It had standard gauges and switches & wiring! I have no Idea what happened to him I heard he left the Detroit area in shame!
You can check if your plugs are grounding with a test light hooked to + and touching the plug bases with the probe if it lights the block and plugs are grounding.
Good luck tomorrow I hope it starts, That wouldn't happen to be a 6 pack 348 and 4 speed would it?

bigger carbs for better mpg ???!!!
i have a buddy here in town that has a old bronco with a huge small block in it, and he was saying that whenever he had a big block motor that he could never get a quadrajet to give him good mpg compared to a eddy or afb carb. he was then talking about how with the smaller primaries the qjets choked the motors and he always had to step in it harder to get up to cruising mode.
and also to add, he has a qjet on his 305 monte carlo and gets 20 mpg intown, and 25-27 highway.
and a qjet on his motorhome with a 350 and he gets 10 ish which he said is good ( i know nothing about motor homes )
is this just a tuning issue on his part or are there just certain motors that like certain carbs ? i know everyone says how great a qjet is so im slightly hesitant to lean to one side or another
a Qjet isn't that great, hence they stopped using them on production cars in the 80's. That being said it can be tuned to perform much better or much worse for a given application.
Most carbs can be decent for mileage (none will touch a good EFI setup) but its all in TUNING.
A bigger carb can deliver better mileage than a small one IF the bigger carb is tuned better. If the smaller one is tuned better then it will perform better.
thats what i figured.
i actually like the design of my afb more then the quadrajet. ive been out and about and noticed at cruise my afr was super lean, but i was going down hill at like 1000 rpm and although that scared the $h1t out of me, i realized the motor wasnt working at all...
ive been with my gf at the park and changed rods before and or adjusted the mixture screws.
my big ol 1980 suburban with 33 inch tires is getting 8.5 mpg when i was driving 22 miles a day 35 mph tops and a few 25-30 mph zones. at times when im putting at 25-30 mph my afr goes lean in the 15.5-16 afr but as soon as i start going up slight hills it drops to 14 ish.
i know the carb pretty well, and i dont feel the mpg im getting is bad whatsoever. and i bet if i went to a qjet id have the same mpg.
Tuned properly, a Qjet will get good mileage because of those tiny primaries....start stomping on it and it will suck gas with the best of them.
The motorhome gets 1/2 the mileage than the Monte Carlo, because it weighs much more and is much less aerodynamic......Lots of factors in mileage
AFB (edelbrock) carbs have been shown many times to produce better mileage than quadrajets, BUT it is all in the tuning. The bad thing about edelbrocks is that while the rods, jets, and springs are easy to swap going beyond that gets tricky.
Saying the Qjet "wasn't that great because they stopped using them in 1989" is like saying that the "Camaro wasn't that great because they stopped making them in the 2000's."
The Qjet is a great carb... and I agree with you that tuning is the biggest factor.
Qjet...Great Carb. (If you can read)
How much money you got?
Back in the 70s there were a few people that used bigger carbs for better mileage.The thing is,there is a lot more to mileage than carb size.What makes a carb work well or accelerate quickly does not usually apply to better mileage. Holley double pumper carbs are "known" to have poor mileage,why?
Because the guys that use them yard the carbs wfo all the time,because they make power.Power burns fuel. Accelerator pumps toss in a lot of raw fuel to compensate for low intake velocity,double pumpers are self explanatory.
If your fuel/air ratio is correct,you do not change speed,do not go up hills,then your mileage will be about the same with all carbs.Drivers kill most of the mileage with aggressive advance of carb linkage,its all just math and the efficiency of the carb and its systems to circumvent our poor driving skills.Take the accelerator pump out of your carb and your mileage will increase,drive ability will be terrible
Qjets are one of the best designs. Avs and AFB are good too. The reason why drivability is better, because when the engine vacuum changes a rod opens or closes more of the jet hole depending on the condition. This maintains velocity. A Holley is really just holes and more throttle dependant. Tunning for some situations that is all you need. A carb responding to the engine vacuumin this manner should be better for more driven conditions.
They all can be tuned to work.
Being its 10:30am on a saturday I'm guessing hungover. ;)
What your buddy may have going on with the truck that he can't get "good" mileage with using a Q-jet, is likely he's using a carb w/the small primary casting (called the 750 cfm casting as opposed to the 800 cfm casting), along w/the truck being either heavy or geared low- or both.
There needs to be enough airflow to meet the engine's demands, obviously. In the case of the Q-jet (made worse if the carb is a small primary Q-jet), the secondaries on an unmodified Q-jet will begin to open long before the primaries are fully opened. The exact amount varies by application, but suffice to say some Q-jets begin to open their secondaries when the primaries are not open very far at all. So if the amount of airflow/throttle opening needed to drive the truck is more than the primaries can provide, the secondaries will open to fill the need.
If the truck was equipped w/such a carb, the engine will be running off the secondaries much of the time, regardless of how carefully the truck might be driven. And once the secondaries come into play, all bets are off. There will be no 'good' mileage in those cases.
This can be made better by tuning, but there are limits as to what you can expect from the Q-jet design (or ANY carb design for that matter). Regardless of how well it's tuned, if the application is wrong or expectations don't match reality, there can be disappointment at how the carb works as far as economy goes.
In the case of a Carter, etc., most will have larger primaries than a Q-jet. This gives a larger window where the primaries are able to provide enough flow to meet the engine's demands- without the secondaries being needed. In a scenario like that, the larger primary carb may give better economy as I'm sure you can understand.
I believe the Q-jet to be the best production carb readily available for use on a performance vehicle. It was used long after the Carter carbs were discontinued w/the exception of the Q-jet-like Carter Thermoquad, which it outlived as well- just not by as many years as the AFB-type carbs. The marine industry stayed interested in the Carter carbs into at least the '90s, and it was used side-by-side w/the Q-jet. But marine usage has many differences from automotive usage so they really can't be directly compared.

Thanksgiving Bakeware
One of the most delightful parts of spending Thanksgiving every year with your friends and family is the food. Whether you host the holiday at your home or go to someone else's, there is always a tasty, delicious spread from which to choose. If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year at your home, it's time to think about baking. Do some of the Thanksgiving baking a day or two ahead of time to save yourself some stress on the holiday. What's paramount to having successful baked goods on the big day is having the correct Thanksgiving bakeware. Having professional-quality tools and equipment in your kitchen turns a potentially stressful day into a delightful one. Choose from a bounty of different bakeware tools, pans, mixes and equipment from Williams-Sonoma.
Pies are one of the biggest dessert staple foods during the entire holiday season, but especially on Thanksgiving. Whether your choice is sweet potato, pumpkin or apple, a pie is always part of the equation. Having the right pie pan helps you bake a beautiful, perfect pie. Choose from clay pie dishes in a variety of different autumnal colors that are also ideal for going from oven to table. Clay material does not absorb other colors or odors and is suitable for transferring from oven to table to freezer and even the microwave. Consider using a pie plate or dish with a serving lid. Not only does this look great on your Thanksgiving table, but it also helps store the pie for after the day ends. You may also want to consider a pie crust cutter for a professional-looking pie every time, giving you the ability to cut cookie-like, festive shapes into your crust.
Sometimes, you don't want to make absolutely everything from scratch, and you'd like to add a few special foods to your Thanksgiving spread. Choose from a wide selection of seasonal goodies, such as pumpkin butter, quick bread mixes, pecan pie-in-a-jar and pie crust mixes to help you along when making Thanksgiving and holiday treats. Pumpkin butter goes absolutely wonderfully with the quick bread mixes and is a unique and interesting touch to add to your dessert ensemble.
Because it's Thanksgiving, you will probably be preparing a great more many desserts than pies, and it's great to have the correct bakeware on hand. Look for autumn-themed loaf pans, cake pans and cakelets to make incredibly loaves, muffins and cakes as well as adding a seasonal motif to your kitchen and dinner table. Cookies are also a special treat at Thanksgiving, so be sure to have a cookie sheet set complete with wire rack so that your chocolate chip or oatmeal favorites come out perfect every time.
When you are shopping for bakeware, consider the material and construction to help make your day effortless. For cookie sheets, loaf pans and cake pans, it's a good idea to look for bakeware with a copper or stainless-steel construction, complete with a nonstick surface. Copper is an excellent conductor of heat and is extremely durable, ensuring you that your baked goods are cooked evenly throughout with no hot or cold spots.
When it comes to bakeware, don't forget the tools and accessories, such as measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls and cookie cutters. Having pastry tools is also essential, especially if you're making baked goods, such as pies. Opt for glass mixing bowls that stand up well to whisks and hand mixers, and choose copper or stainless-steel measuring cups and spoons for longevity and durability. Look for joyful and festive cookie cutters with Thanksgiving-themed shapes, such as turkeys, pumpkins and acorns for a festive feel when it comes to Thanksgiving dessert time.

Due to reoccurring drought conditions worldwide, using potable (drinkable) water for landscapes is increasingly unviable. Homeowners often wastefully irrigate their lawns with water than should be reserved for human consumption. According to the Sustainable Sites Initiative, irrigation of unsustainable residential landscapes accounts for more than a third of residential water use—more than seven billion gallons of potable water per day in the U.S.Sustainable residential landscape architecture—if part of a broader "integrated site design," a comprehensive approach to sustainable building and site design—can dramatically reduce water usage over the long term while creating a healthy residential environment.
Integrated site design is a framework for increasing the quality of the built environment, and involves maximizing existing natural systems to minimize water use. These types of designs leverage the many benefits of natural systems, thereby significantly cutting down the need for centrally distributed water. Decreased water usage also means homes are more resilient to shifts in the availability of water and climate change.Homeowners can promote the infiltration, storing and recycling of water, and limit the use of valuable potable water for landscapes. Bioswales / bioretention ponds, rainwater gardens, and local sustainable water recycling and drip irrigation systems can all be used to efficiently conserve water. Homeowners can use these systems to recycle and reuse greywater (and even blackwater) for landscape maintenance, car washing, and toilet flushing.Homes that include natural stormwater management technologies, such as a bioswales or bio-retention ponds, which infiltrate and remove pollutants, not only better manage stormwater runoff, but also reduce the massive energy costs associated with running complex stormwater management systems. Water utilities' centralized stormwater management infrastructure are heavy users of energy in local areas.Local governments are also partnering with non-profit organizations to increase public awareness about using sustainable residential design practices for improving water efficiency.

Bioswale and bioretention ponds use plants and soils to infiltrate and treat stormwater runoff. These systems can also dramatically reduce pollutants and contaminants in an effort to increase water quality. Bioswales, which are wet or dry swales made out of grass, rocks, and other types of vegetation, must be sloped to move water through the system in an efficient manner. Bioretention ponds, depressed vegetated area areas that capture and store stormwater runoff, can work in combination with bioswales.Under federal and state requirements, local governments must implement stormwater management plans and systems. Centralized stormwater management systems are energy-intensive and costly to create and maintain. Local communities can instead invest in decentralized stormwater management systems by expanding the use of bioswales and bioretention ponds in residential areas. Bioswales and bioretention ponds can dramatically reduce water flowing into centralized stormwater management systems, and therefore, limit the energy consumed by centralized water utilities pumping and recycling water.Local governments work with planners and design professionals to develop more sustainable, decentralized stormwater management systems featuring bioswales and bioretention ponds. Homeowner associations and local community groups play a part in maintaining these systems. Local governments can offer homeowners incentives to create decentralized stormwater management systems on their properties.

Rain gardens are a depressed vegetated area that use rainfall and stormwater runoff as irrigation. Rain gardens capture and hold water, usually through the use of native plants. By using highly porous plant materials, rainfall and stormwater runoff can drain more effectively. Rain gardens allow approximately 30 percent of runoff to be filtered into the ground. A properly designed rain garden can filter one inch of rainfall in four hoursInstead of extending conventional water infrastructure at great cost, rain gardens can be used to collect rainwater, store it at the residential level, and reduce residential stormwater runoff. Like bioswales or bioretention ponds, the main role of rain gardens is to reduce water flow and limit water volume.

Rainwater harvesting is a system that collects, diverts, and stores rain in a catchment tank. Rainwater can be successfully used for landscape irrigation because rainwater is collected directly from the sky, and avoids many pollutants water collects by flowing through streets. The harvested rainwater can also be used for car washing and toilet flushing.Rainwater harvesting is an efficient sustainable water management technique common before public utility departments centralized and then re-distributed water.

Recycled water is highly treated domestic wastewater that can be used for landscapes. There are multiple grades of wastewater -- Greywater is domestic wastewater from kitchen sinks, dishwashers, and washing machines. Greywater may include household cleaning products and food particles. Blackwater refers to water used in toilets -- water that contains human excrement. In total, 50 to 80 percent of water used in homes is recyclable. Greywater (and even blackwater) can be diverted and treated through a filter system and then further used to irrigate landscapes.Depending on the extent of treatment, recycled water can be cleaner and safer to use than tap water. This practice has become more widespread in California and other arid states. Each state has a set of specific regulations on the use of recycled water use, and some states require permits. Using recycled water can significantly reduce residential water waste.

Residential drip IrrigationDrip irrigation systems conserve water by providing water through slow application directly at plants' root zones, keeping the plant root zone at optimum moisture level. Residential drip irrigation systems reduce over-watering, evaporation, runoff, and deep percolation of water.Drip irrigation is a cost-efficient means of improving water efficiency. Unlike other irrigation systems, drip irrigation is adaptable to any landscape and requires minimal maintenance. This system is predominantly used in agriculture and nurseries, but can also be used in residential landscapes for vegetable and perennial gardens. Research

My Steyr GB had some light primer strikes at the range this afternoon, so I decided to take a look at the hammer springs. Not having good visibility of them, I removed the seer. BIG MISTAKE. I can't get the seer back in properly. On the Steyr forums, I was told NEVER to remove the seer (this was after removing it), that they are VERY hard to get back in properly.
Are there any experienced Steyr smiths here that can help?

text: Okay. If (and all things point to it happening) Webber signs with us, with one move, how can we jump start our team and prepare for the future? I can't find the link, but the article stated that the Raptors were asking about a Dice for MoPete trade and I believe that move alone could help us on so many levels. 1. Dice, although an important piece, will not opt out next year thus eating more cap dollars. True, I'd rather it be NM traded, but this is who the Raptors said they were interested in. We'll have to worry about NM some other day or with some other trade. 2. we now have a (serviceable defensive) backup at the 3 spot ('Fino is a better 2 then 3 and that's that) and CD and MP on the floor spreads the defense allows the bigs to play big and the point to penetrate and pop. 3. we now have a boat load of expiring contracts (good for players looking to showcase themselves) for next year's goal of resigning Billups. 1st team: CB, RH, TP, RW and CW 2nd team: LH, CD, MP, JM and DD 3rd team: WB, FM, RD, AJ and NM playoffs: 1st and 2nd with FM and NM Now: if you can trade NM (who I really don't have a problem with) for Earl Watson (in case CB does a Ben Wallace) and FM (who I really do have a problem with) for a 3rd string center

Lake Lanier Turnover Facts
Buford Trout Hatchery gets the water used to grow trout from the tailwater area of the Chattahoochee River immediately below Lake Lanier. Natural processes occurring in the lake throughout the year can have an effect on the water quality downstream of the dam. This in turn can affect hatchery operations.
Below is a description of the annual water quality changes that occur in Lake Lanier (and many other Southeastern reservoirs). WRD biologists Bill Couch (Buford Trout Hatchery Manager) and Reggie Weaver (Lake Lanier fisheries management biologist) developed this information.
"Lake turnover" is a term that is often used incorrectly to describe one period of the annual cycle of lake stratification (layering), which affects the water quality of Southeastern reservoirs. Throughout the year at Georgia's latitudes and elevations, reservoirs go through a fairly predictable annual cycle. I will address the annual cycle of Lake Lanier and its impact on water quality downstream in the Chattahoochee River. In general this pattern is similar through the Carolinas, Tennessee and most other reservoirs that do not freeze, or are not in tropical climates. Sunlight, air and water temperatures and the density of water at different temperatures drive this annual cycle.
During the cold winter months Lake Lanier's water is generally the same temperature from the top to the bottom. The lake's water is cold (around 45-50 degrees F) and clear. Water on the top and bottom of the reservoir has similar densities. Wind action on the surface water rolls the lake and surface water mixes with the bottom water. The exposure that all of the lake water has to the surface allows the lake to have plenty of oxygen from top to bottom. In winter, water temperature and oxygen concentration do not limit fish movement in the lake. Lake water, which is released from the bottom of the lake into the Chattahoochee River below the dam, is cold, oxygenated and clear.
During spring and early summer the lake begins to gain heat and stratify into three somewhat distinct layers: the surface layer called the epilimnion, a bottom layer called the hypolimnion, and a layer between the two called the metalimnion or, as anglers know it, the thermocline, which is how I will refer to it as well.
By summer's end, the lake is strongly stratified. The epilimnion is warm; it receives sunlight and has plenty of oxygen. Water temperature and oxygen concentrations within the thermocline are both lower, but still often provide acceptable habitat for cool water fish species like stripers and walleye.

CNN Turns To Conservative Activist To Push Affirmative Action Myth
Blog ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
CNN turned to conservative activist Gail Heriot to push the myth that affirmative action allows students of color to attend upper tier schools for which they are ill-equipped.
The Supreme Court is hearing Fisher v. Texas, a case challenging the University of Texas' affirmative action plan. In a report on the case, CNN's Joe Johns stated: "Conservative groups siding with Fisher argue it's not just about getting in. The U.S. Civil Rights Commission says studies show that using racial preferences can hurt minorities by starting them out near the bottom of their classes."
Johns then aired video of Civil Rights Commissioner Gail Heriot saying: "If they're towards the bottom of whatever class they go to, they are much more likely to give up on an ambition to major in science and engineering."
In fact, experts have debunked the theory Heriot pushed, which is commonly known as the "mismatch" theory. A court filing by professors of statistics and related fields explained that the research on which Heriot's argument is based "has major methodological flaws" and is "not good social science."
These experts pointed out that reliable studies actually disprove this theory. For instance, one study found that "minority students who benefited from affirmative action earned higher grades and left school at lower rates than others, and they expressed neither greater nor less satisfaction with college life in general."
Additionally, Heriot is not an unbiased member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. Heriot was reportedly an alternate delegate for the 2000 Republican National Convention. She also is a member of the conservative Federalist Society, once served as an aide to Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, and served as the co-chair of a 1996 effort in California that outlawed affirmative action programs.

The LDWF manages about 1.4 million acres of Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and Refuges throughout the state. These public lands consist of a wide variety of habitat types. LDWF goals for these lands are to:
- provide quality examples of Louisiana habitats
- insure viability of these lands' wildlife populations
- provide the opportunity for quality outdoor recreational (and commercial when compatible) experience.
Each WMA has a federal-aid management plan developed by Region biologists and deer are important features of most of these plans. Managed deer hunts are held each year to allow the harvest of surplus deer and prevent habitat damage resulting from overbrowsing. Biological data collected from harvested deer provide a basis for assessment of population health. Seasons are generally shorter on public lands than on private lands because WMAs receive higher hunter use over a shorter period of time than private lands. The Forestry Section of the Wildlife Division has developed a forest management plan for each WMA to insure proper management of the forested habitat. These plans in combination with deer browse surveys are used to assess current and predict future deer habitat conditions.
The LDWF also provides assistance to both the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with deer management on their lands. These agencies have different goals and objectives for their lands, but they also conduct managed deer hunts and collect some physical data from harvested deer. These data are submitted to the Deer Program personnel for review. Region and Program biologists conduct habitat surveys on both the Kisatchie National Forest and various federal refuges. Recommendations are made to these two agencies concerning deer habitat, hunting season dates, etc. on an annual basis.
Range and herd evaluations also are done on private lands that are not enrolled in DMAP. The same general activities are conducted on these properties except those evaluations and deer harvest reports may not contain as much detail as the DMAP reports.

Sailing with only a jib
I have an Ericson 29 which I have sailed many times with only a jib in 20 knots plus. Usually I use a beat up old 100%, hanked on jib and the boat sails well both to windward and reaching. Admittedly it does not point as high with just the jib as with both jib and main. I also don't crank it all the way flat. I can get 5 to 6 knots in a 25 knot wind beating to windward at about 55 degrees off the wind. Advantages of using just the jib are the boat does not heel as much, no rounding up during gusts, less fighting the wheel, only one sail to take down, etc. Some people have told me that using only the jib stresses the rig. As an engineer I can not see how having less sail up causes more stress, but then I have not done a finite element analysis of both cases.
Try it on your boat.
|Since I first started this thread I have done a lot of experimenting in different wind conditions with different sails. One day it was blowing 15-25mph and I had a reef in the main and the geneo 3/4 unfurled. I was doing between 5.5-6.5 knts and the helm was balanced so nicely that I could have steered with my pinky. The boat actually does sail very nicely with just the genny but there is a far amount of weather helm. It does not particularly sail well with just the main. I'v also learned it is different with every single boat. My last boat was a 25' with a very tall main stepped further toward the bow than most boats and also with a very small fractional jib. That boat sailed excellent with just the main and very poor with just the jib. The Morgan 323 I have now is my first mast head sloop with roller furling and I just bought it this season so I didn't know what most others did in different conditions. Now that I have been out on it a lot more I am starting to get a feel for how this particular boat responds in different winds with different sail combos out there. I can tell you though it is real satisfying to have the boat cranking along over hull speed and also having the helm be perfectly balanced so you know you are sailing the boat correctly.
When sailing shorthanded in high winds I like to use the main only with lots of shape well forward .This works on all points of sail even going to windward if you don't sheet the main past the lifelines.No winches to crank just sit back and steer.
Mirage 25 masthead
|I have a Niagara 35, large fore triangle. In > 15 knots, start of white caps on Chesapeake Bay, I routinely sail with just the roller furling 135 % genoa. As I have gotten more a senior citizen, I find removing the sail cover, hauling the main up, and replacing the sail cover not to be as much fun as just unfurling the genoa. I have no problems with unbalanced helm, etc. She sails at hull speed on just the genoa with 20 knots wind!
|If it's blowing hard, I usually reef the main in advance, before getting underway. As a preference, I'll sail under main alone verus jib alone, but a little headsail with a reefed main tends to balance my rig the best, especially upwind.
nor can you tack, without some sail area aft (meaning a reefed main, or a storm trysail). You just won't make it around with just a foresail.
I have to disagree on that one. I've done it many times without a problem. However, as has been said, all boats behave a little differently and this may be an issue with yours. It isn't true as a general rule.
My sail choice when the wind kicks up is full 145% genny and mizzen. Works well 'til around 27-28 kts. wind, then roll in a bit of the genny. Obviously this won't work on most boats.
Originally Posted by btrayfors View Post
This statement is misleading. Most modern sloop-rigged boats will sail very well to windward with the genoa alone, including being relatively close-hauled. You don't necessarily need to have any mainsail out. Once in the BVI I sailed past a 50' ketch with a professional crew and flying all sails beating to windward, in a Pearson 10M with the genoa alone!
While you can reach OK with just the main, most boats will do better (sail faster) with just a genoa. And, as you've noted, it's much easier to roll in or out to set the area needed for the wind conditions and point of sail.
When going upwind, most boats will go very slowly under main alone. They really need a headsail in order to make the main an efficient contributor to boat speed. The difference is really dramatic. Try it yourself: set a course closehauled in a decent wind, note your boatspeed, then drop (or furl) the headsail, leaving the full main. Your boatspeed will fall off to almost nothing. By the way, this isn't a bad way to sail up to a mooring in a strong wind.
Bottom line: for your trip I'd start out with just the genoa and see how it works. If the wind falls light and you need more sail area, then put up some main. Of course, an alternate strategy would be to tuck in a reef in the main before setting out, and unroll enough genoa to get your boatspeed up.
|I like a reefed main for stability and as much jib rolled out as seems appropriate, except that it you roll it in too much, you're probably better off with no jib.
Sailing with Genny only
I have a Catalina 30, Jeanneau 34 and an Elite 32. All three have masthead rigs with 135 Gennys. I have sailed all three boats in 25 plus with Genny only, provided you're on a reach. Rolled the Genny in by 1/3 and flew prefectly balanced at 6 plus kts, with no weather helm. Your Morgan is heavier though, and might need some more sail power. All boats handle different, so this is just my experience.
I prefer sailing in heavy winds with Genny alone as it is easy to reef and put away in case of emergency and building winds. Also means you don't have to go up on deck which is always a good thing in heavy seas. As all my boats have lazy jack stack packs, it makes dropping the main a lot more difficult in adverse conditions (you have to point DIRECTLY into wind or sail gets caught on lazy jacks). Thus my prefernce for genny only.
Ideally a reefed main and reefed headsail will give you your best balance, especially if beating, but this is a small sacrifice for safty. A genny is easier to pop out if you get a big gust.
Capt. Bruce
Windsong Sailing Charters
i sail an alberg 29 (nye yachts, late of bloomberg ontario). Following four years of sailing on lake ontario at the nigara river exit, i installed an inner 'baby' stay so the rig now resembles a cutter. in fresh winds i hoist the inner staysail and reef the main - no foresail.
the boat actually sails the best under fresh conditions with the afore mentioned rig - great balance a literally no weather helm.

The role of the Lake Land College Grant Office is to assure Lake Land's growth, viability, and competitive advantage. We build an annual grant development agenda to seek and obtain funding support aligned with the mission of the College, and we're available for collaboration with faculty and staff seeking new funding opportunities.
Lake Land College Grant Funding Initiative Request
Illinois Emergency Management Agency
Randy Ervin, Chief of Police
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) has selected Lake Land College to receive a grant in the amount of $194,200 under the 2014 Illinois School and Campus Safety Grant Program. According to the press release issued by Governor Quinn's office, "…grant awards totaling $25 million [will] enhance security at 448 public elementary and secondary school districts, community colleges and state universities in Illinois. The grants will support 1,312 projects, including reinforced doors, shatter-resistant glass, physical locks and other security measures that will enhance safety for students, staff and visitors." A full listing of grant award recipients is available on the Illinois.gov website. Funds will be used to purchase and install a network-based video surveillance system in the common areas of each of the main campus's 13 educational buildings. LLC's Police Department investigates all reports of criminal activity and takes appropriate action based on the level of evidence obtained, but in most instances, the level of evidence available to identify suspects is insufficient. With the exception of regular police patrol, entrances to the campus and campus buildings are not regularly monitored by staff or by video security system. This system will allow the LLC Police Department to document video evidence of criminal activities for the purposes of enhancing investigations, verifying or increasing possible suspect leads, improving overall campus security, and reducing the vulnerability of the student population at LLC as a result.
Illinois Community College Faculty Association
Joe Tillman, Renewable Energy Instructor/Coordinator
This research project will develop a small experimental floating hydroponic garden designed to draw nutrients from the upper level of pond water to grow useful and/or edible plants. By placing the aqua-garden in the College's larger western pond, Mr. Tillman and his students will test how well it competes with blooming algae and affects water quality. The widespread use of agricultural chemicals in rainwater runoff contributes to algae growth in many Midwestern lakes and ponds, and the resulting algae blooms greatly reduce the water oxygen levels causing various ecological damage. This project is part of a larger research project about improving water quality through aquaculture, rather than relying on harsh chemical treatments that require significant amounts of energy to produce.

The Federal Trade Commission works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint or get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The Better Business Bureau offers these tips and suggestions to protect yourself from grant fraud:
(1). ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS REQUIRE AN APPLICATION PROCESS. If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.
(2). GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE. Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov. as an additional resource.
(3). GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES. Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.
(4). THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT. Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.
(5). YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT. The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.

However, I have noticed that people usually settle down with any release and are happy with it as soon as the corresponding maintenance patches are made available.
So, are those discussions and comparisons a waste of time, a result of the initial lack of stability which is often part of a brand new release? Is there anything about certain releases that made them stand out? I want to know what you think and if you have any favorite Ubuntu release.

Might try switching to a scheduled feeding vs buffet. Put the food down and give her 20 minutes or so. When the times up, remove it and wait until the next scheduled feeding time. Not sure what your feeding, but they can get bored with kibble, you might try using something on top like plain yogurt, cottage cheese, or canned dog food etc...
You can rotate kibbles within a certain brand to help if it is boredom, (some dogs can have sensitive stomachs even within the same brand so you could try mixing new and old slowly at first. We've used Natures Variety and switch occasionally between duck, turkey, and venison.

|Try feeding her when you eat. Maybe she got used to eating in a group.
Puppy Depression?
So recently my boyfriend and I dog sat my Uncle's 4 dogs. Of course, we brought our 10 month old GSD over as well, and she LOVED it! She had so much fun playing with them and running around. She ate when she was allowed to, played all day long and was so happy. However when our week at my Uncle's house was up and we came back to our home, she kind of moped around a bit; which is understandable considering she doesn't have anyone to play with anymore. But the thing that really concerned us was the fact that she isn't eating all that much anymore. She's a lot happier and more excited with everything, but when we leave food out for her for breakfast or dinner, she just sniffs it and walks away. Eventually she'll start nibbling at it, but she can leave a full bowl all day and just take small nibbles and that same bowl would be left over for the next day.
At first we thought it was because she didn't like the food, but it's been one of her favorite for a while now, and she's always rushed to eat it, even at my Uncle's house. It was just after we came back home that she wasn't feeling it anymore.
Any ideas to why that may be or how we can get her on a regular diet again?
